Definitely Burning Godzilla
Burning Godzilla, he has more energy and more powerful attacks.
I might as well do that, if I can find a reliable one...
Always more exhilarated for a live-action series than an animated one.
Live action Monarch series for sure!
If only they made the new Devilman with castlevania's artstyle that would have been cool but NO! We got Crybaby's graphics instead for the new Devilman
so the Twitter official Godzilla countdown clock was about this show then….
You could use a VPN, to access a different country.
Honestly, people need to grow the f--- up. I believe that this will be a good show no matter what. Regardless of the streaming service, it's going to come down to whether the show is good or bad. I think it has promise.
By the way, filming on the show begins in November so we should expect the show to come out in late 2023...
TV+ isn't available here in mainland China, so I guess I'll just rely on torrents...
Shooting the monsters from a human perspective really elevates the scale of these creatures, and the feeling of godlike monsters looming over you is just breathtaking. One of the major problems of Pacific Rim: Uprising was that the camera was too...unrestrained, making the jaegers feel like toys at times. Godzilla vs. Kong was similar in that aspect, but the fluency of action and the weight in movement prevented the "toy" feel.
I agree 100%
Ok never mind, it's actually a 7 day free trial, not month. But still, I feel like people are over reacting.
Also the fact that they immediately decide that they're going to pirate it is pretty sad...
To be honest Apple TV+ sucks.
but people like people who complain so they get a lot of attention on twitter sooo….
Of course the complaints are from Twitter... people on that site will try to find any reason to complain.
Plus, from what I've heard Apple TV+ is only around $5.00 a month and if you don't want pay for a full subscription you can start a month long free trial...
I'm more excited for the live-action show, and Godzilla is cooler than the monke soooo--
Here's some screenshots of some of the monsters from Castlevania, the creatures in the Skull Island series will probably be animated in a similar style.
The studio animating the Skull Island series is Powerhouse Animation, which is known for Castlevania and Blood of Zeus, so I assume (and hope) that the animation will look similar to those series.
I just like Godzilla more so…….
But I do wonder how they will handle the animation in the series. Will it be traditionally animated entirely or go the same route as Singular Point. I mean I think singular pig is the best Godzilla media we’ve gotten recently, but I liked it best when Sarunga was hand drawn. (But I did appreciate how the Kaiju looked like the painted background)
And the studio involved has only really done traditional projects, so I’d assume it’s traditional.
I mean 3D can be done well, but in the Kaiju genre it is either amazing, or looks like Ultraman Netflix. (I only made it through one episode, the movement was so weird)
I'm really excited to see what the live action Monarch/Godzilla show will be like, but personally I'm more excited for the Skull Island series. The fact that it will be animated and set on Skull Island gives them less restriction with what they can show, which means it'll probably have more monsters, more action, and they'll be able to get more creative with how they explore Skull Island and the MonsterVerse mythology. Plus it's being created by the studio that did the Castlevania series, which had amazing animation (hopefully the animation for this show is in the same style).
Also, I'm hoping that it ends the horrible track record that Kong has with animation...
I love how parts of the fight were shot from the perspective of looking out windows, as if you were actually there witnessing the fight. I also really liked that they showed the people trapped in the city, it reminded you that it wasn't just some fun action scene and that people were actually caught in the middle of the battle, which made it feel a lot scarier.
I loved the framing in G14’ it was always from the perspective of people, it was amazing. They did that a little in KOTM, but not really in GVK.
According to some sources, Prometheus is Frankenstein's monster. I vote for fantasy because based on this type, I can create compare and contrast essays. On home page my friend chooses the real subjects, but I think that is too boring. Finally, maybe the best option is the combination of them.
Same. I re-watched 2014 Yesterday, and I really love how suspenseful some of the scenes are. The movie has a really ominous tone to it and a feeling of impending doom, which was somewhat replicated in King of the Monsters, but was kind of missing from Godzilla vs Kong. The scene where the Male MUTO hatches and scene where the Female MUTO attacks the train are really suspenseful and legitimately scary. Even Godzilla himself feels like a mysterious force of nature, where you're not really sure if he's a hero protecting the world, or just an animal stalking his prey.
I hope they return to the cryptic, tenebrous tone of Godzilla (2014).
It would be cool, and they would have plenty of material to work with, but I'm fine with it just taking place between G14 and KOTM.
That would be cool, but we’ve just had confirmation it’s between G14’ and GVK
As I've said before, it could be possible that this show takes an anthology format and fills in the gaps between G14 and KOTM, KOTM and GVK, and post-GVK. I think it could be the best way to handle this show, and to make sure it's not too short or too long.
@G. H. (Gman): Exactly. If general audiences see Toho monsters no differently than original monsters, is there really a point in licensing more of them in the future? This is why I keep arguing that purchasing Showa Era monsters like Gorosaurus, Manda, Baragon, and Kumonga would be pointless, as Legendary could just make their own similar looking monsters and have them fill the same role.
XarKhaan,
No one is blaming the box office on them--The initial point is including them didn't do anything to attract general audiences who probably saw them no differently than an original creation. (Like the MUTO.)
And while we can blame its release date being put in the center of a Disney minefield, keep in mind it was WB that moved the film to that claustrophobic window from a much safer March release date. So they must've thought it was going to do better. (For some reason.) Reviews likely didn't help either as audiences tend to depend on that when there's an influx of blockbusters they're not sure which to spend money on.
@jack capellini thats the thing there well Mothra and Rodan didnt attract anybody new it also didnt deter anybody i dont think having 2 brand new monsters would have done anything to attract new people either KOTM just came out at a bad time of the year. blaming its box office results on the monsters is like blaming the dog for its fleas.
@G. H. (Gman): I agree. While I doubt people were driven away by the inclusion of Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah, their inclusion didn’t really help the film succeed at the box office. For kaiju fans, seeing three of Toho’s most iconic monsters on the big screen was a huge deal since they already see those monsters as actual characters. But when it comes to general audiences, they mostly watch these movies for monster action, and don’t see a deeper meaning in the monsters portrayed on screen. I also doubt they see them as characters, with the exception of Kong, as he is an American icon and more humanoid in appearance.
While I’m not doubting that general audiences may have enjoyed seeing Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah visually portrayed on screen in KOTM, I doubt that they super invested in the ways the monsters were portrayed as characters. They probably went to their local theater, saw the movie, enjoyed the monster action, and then left the theater thinking “Man, this movie was a fun ride, and seeing Godzilla incinerate Ghidorah at the end was incredible…Anyway, avengers assemble!” What I’m trying to say is that they probably saw KOTM as good filler to keep them entertained before they got the chance to see Avengers: Endgame while it was still playing in theaters.
This goes to show that the Kaiju Genre is not as popular among mainstream audiences as fans seem to think it is.
