But I feel like they could have made literally anything else though? I mean you have some of the most advanced Technology and you choose to replicate Godzilla and not something like a Yeager or a Metal Gear? I know these are animals but surely they could spot the difference between the real Goji and a robot slightly resembling him. If anything it would have actually made more sense to base it of Ghidorah as it was also briefly an Alpha and seeing as it's head is used for the controls.
Also personally, my main problem isn't that MG looks like Godzilla, it's that they made the step from highly advanced aircraft in the previous film to a giant ass fighting robot in the span of about a year, let alone it being constructed in that time in secret.
And Kong got to fight more monsters, but you do have a good point. Maybe Kingdom Kong will do him justice.
Actually
1) KoTm
2) G 14’
3) GVK and Kong Skull Island
I love all these movies but I can’t decide if I like GvK or Skull island more
The arcs are incomplete. I say this because I do recognize the beginning and endings of arcs in GvK. I say beginnings and ending because theRe was no middle. Which should be the most interesting parts of the human story.
One example is the Guy on Team Kong. He wanted to use Kong to get in the hollow earth. Why he developed compassion to save Kong is beyond me. Maybe he was grateful or something but it’s never explained.
GVK had worse human characters than KOtm in my opinion. They could have done scenes between Madison and Mark having a strained relationship and him juggling his job and raising his daughter by himself and they become alienated and there’s a resolution to the film. But it’s left to the imagination. Josh felt like a useless character the entire film. The pouring a drink on the panel to stop MechaGodzilla was just bad writing and shows the movie wasn’t taking itself seriously. One critic describes the Movie as, “In a patchwork production full of bad ideas poorly executed, Jia also embodies the story’s only good idea.” I agree and disagree with this. While the ideas were poorly executed I don’t think they were bad.
Back to the Characters.... It’s just Ren Serizawa is a mess. I get the Dad and Daughter working together but why does Ren Exist? No backstory, just exists.
The movie had interesting ideas and implications for human stories that could have been done well but weren’t bothered with.
Ranking
I can’t I literally can’t.
To be fair tho GvK was more of a Kong film.
@GTheoryman
Its on the website Gman Posted. I tend not to trust websites like that... so I wait for it to arrive on Netflix
I see its scheduled to be on Netflix but I'm not able to watch it? How were you able to Gman? Are the specific channels open to the general public?
I mean, i guess Godzilla's usual mood is very pissed.
Finally my ranking
Godzilla 2014
Godzilla vs Kong
Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Kong: Skull Island
My favorite humans in the MonsterVerse are Madison, Josh Brody, and Ishiro Serizawa
Godzilla laughed when he set Kong's ass on fire and was emotive (read: very pissed) when he kicked Kong's ass on the ships
When I said he I meant Gman. But I enjoyed GVK
So I mean, No Shin Goji best
when you comment on a topic thats last comment was two years ago
wait, did you just say gvk was better than shin?
I would like to see as a climax to the monsterverse a destroy all monsters film were all the titans (Aside from godzilla and kong) get mind controlled by spacegodzilla and attack major citys leading to a final battle where godzilla and kong (who is wearing a set of armor worn by his ancestors he found in the hollow earth) and a upgraded mechagodzilla made by monarch to destroy hostile titans fight spacegodzilla and his army of titans where they destroy his shoulder crystals andthe titans become free from space,gs control and gang up on him but they all get wrecked but then godzilla turns into burning godzilla and destroys spacegodzilla with a blast of atomic breath that drains godzillas power causing him to die and leaving a single skullcrawler as the last remaining titan.
I enjoyed it. And he’s right tho
Noo, he probably didn't.
I would like to see a show centered on Monarch.
Yeah, it's rumored to be in development.
Not talking about it.
Team Godzilla was a waste of three great actors/actresses
i like ta art :)
kaiju are kinda hard tho-- like Destoroyah? yeah no not doin that
t a p w a t e r w a s o n e o f m y f a v o r i t e s w h a t a r e y o u t a l k i n g a b o u t -
I take a visual arts class, but they don't teach me anything useful.
I mean I could draw some Kaiju but I haven't drew in years since my High School Days
Monster_Zero,
Pacific Rim: The Black is fantastic, but takes a hot minute to hook you in. It's a great addition to the franchise though. I hope one of these days Legendary makes a third film.
But at the moment, Singular Point has a stronger hook.
Guys if you're not going to put spoiler tags before threads or your own posts, I'm going to have to give you a warning or potentially shut you down.
I'm getting the feeling you didn't like GVK....
sonictiger,
I would rather talk about Singular Point right now, as I find it more interesting. Let's stay on topic, thank you.
HinikunaGoji,
If you would like to view the first episode you can find it here.
HinikunaGoji,
Shin Godzilla is going to be a tough one for any Godzilla related project to beat. It was experimental, involved, high concept and thought provoking. It wasn't an action movie, it was a dramatic think-piece on political red-tape and the ramifications it had on events like Fukushima.
Godzilla vs. Kong doesn't even try to invite any form of thought in that vein, nor does it try to be a message movie, so the comparison is a bit unfair. I'm not expecting anything, Legendary, Polygon, Orange/Bones or even Toho related to top Shin Godzilla for a very long time.
