gman,
I was trying to parody the g-fans who seem to worship the heiei franchise. im fine with people making fun of the godzilla franchise, heck, I do it all the time! I was trying to make that comment as outlandish as possible so people would now its a joke. i was NOT being serios and its not like i own any ak-47s in the firsst place.
The Showa era timeline! It’s one of the first cinematic universes, what more to say
As long as Godzilla is there, I'll like it
I guess the moral here is to stay true to yourself. Don't let other Heisei mockers get in the way and ruin your taste. But don't ruin their taste either. We all have different preferences and that's ok, and that's all that matters.
M O N S T E R V E R S E
It's not even close....

I will send u a picture of a mantis bat.
monsterzero9,
Hell I've been making fun of the Heisei series since 1997, that's not too difficult.
The overall point is--Who cares?
Stop giving people who you disagree with or just flat out wrong the attention. This entire thread exists as a tribute to the kind of rise they want to get out of people. Ignore them.
everyone here's talking about important fandom stuff and i'm just sittin here like
'OK SO IMAGINE A PRAYING MANTIS...BUT A BAT. MANTIS BAT.'
but for real, yeah i try to stay away from the 'fake fan/true fan' arguments in really any fandom. although, i do agree they should at least try to watch some older movies. if they don't like them as much so be it.
Unless they have ak-47's. Have it prepared in case lol.
For all you know, the people that are making fun of the heisei series could be like 4 year old kids who just don't find the man in suit amusing.
there's no need for the ak-47's
If you really want to watch a person talk about godzilla on YT,Up from the Depths is a good choice.
That’s a little violent. A bit of an overreaction don’t you think.
@SarcasticGoji Yes. You really have to look at every aspect from different angles and take in consideration on why people like or dislike classics or newer versions of a subject.
There's only so much we can do to stop the people who mock. We have to be aware that any action we take against them will often have a reaction against us. For example, if we mocked them for their taste, we might trigger them into World War lll(not literally a war, but you get the point). But that's just my thought.
yes, they are. But it kinda devolved. Like i said, some newer people who might just have watched the movie because it was in theaters, might look back at older films and say their stupid.
people are making fun of the heisei sereies?
bring out the ak-47s.
This is not about TRUE FANS it was about how we can stop people who mock peoples taste
The tree one is pretty funny...
I like the tree one better, it’s more funny.
Oh, and Chris has my article been approved?
@SasquaDash I agree. Both classics and Monstverse movies need equal balance. I also agree that we should just love Godzilla, weather its a man in suit or the CGI version. Unfortunately, the reality is that people are still going to mock what they dislike and praise what they love.
OH YES! Let the monsters fight!

Yeah, let's avoid classifying people as true fans or not, we're all fans of the same franchise. It's just up to the individual to decide what parts of that franchise they like best. I don't think any fan should trash the source material their Fandom is based on but I understand that opinions can get heated when the direction of a Fandom takes dramatic turns. I think we need to appreciate the classic films for what they are and what they were at the time and not disregard them or compare them to the mainstream. They're worlds apart in most cases but within their own rights.
SasquaDashSome of us feel that way too as well. I don’t like the fighting, but as I said, seeing people disrespect or ignore older films angers me, but I won’t do anything about it. After all, if I did anything, would it actually help?
Sasqua dash,the new fans are disrespecting the old fans and are mocking what they like.Although the paleontology community is very toxic i still found some warmth in it.
Oh God please don't start these "True Fan" arguments, while bashing and picking fights with others. This is a major problem that plagues other fandoms.
It's one of the reasons that (despite my life long love of dinosaurs and prehistoric life) I can't stand the paleontological community, because it's devolved into a community of constant complaining and gatekeeping. With members constantly looking down on others while bashing them and picking immature fights, just because something doesn't conform to their ideology. It's basically become, for lack of a better term, a toxic s***hole of constant conflict.
People have different opinions on things, I personally hate the Polygon Anime Trilogy for many reasons, however there're fans that enjoy it, and that's fine. I love both the classic Toho movies and the MonsterVerse, so seeing people fighting over them and judging who is a "true fan" honestly upsets me. Can't we just agree that we love Godzilla (for different reasons) and leave the fighting to the monsters?
KaijuBuildz, it's like how some people trash Transformers G1 when the Optimus Prime of that one was far better than the Bayverse one. I think those type of people like the senseless violence of Godzilla Vs. Kong are probably the same people who liked "GIVE ME YOUR FACE" in Revenge of The Fallen...
@KaijuBuildz right on target!
@KaijuFan_6754 Ah, I see, now that I can understand. I feel like that goes for anything new based on an old property.
To quickly compare it to Transformers again, It's like people who say "Look how stupid G1 is, like Megatron turns into a small gun instead of a tank which is way better BTW, WHAT!!!", like you realize it's what made the franchise and characters so popular and beloved to begin with right?
TBH I would just not look at the memes. People are allowed to like or not like what they want. If they only like the mosterverse good for them.
@SarcasticGoji that is very likely. That movie has a bunch of references from the old one.
This is a little unrelated, but I just realized that Kong getting shocked by the HEAV in GVK is probably an Homage to 1962 when Kong gets struck by lightning
@KaijuBuildz No, just saying people have no respect for the classics. Sorry for the confusion.
People don't even bother crediting the 1962 King Kong Vs Godzilla film. I highly doubt they even know of it's existence. They're to busy praising the 2021 version instead.
I guess it’s just annoying to see people staying at the surface, for us who have taken the time to watch older movies.
That is a very good point.
