SonicTiger,

Thats not what I said, Unlike us, Gman was actually a movie critic, and us who have to figure it out, he studied about it.

I enjoy KOTM for trying to be ambitious, but it's problems are as much as the good qualities. 

I KNOW when good movies are made too.

You're literally saying that I don't understand movies.  Yes I do.  I've made like three topics deconstructing the MonsterVerse.

Here they are:

The MonsterVerse wasted it's most promising human character, but they can still fix this certain character. - Godzilla Forum (godzilla-movies.com)

The MonsterVerse needs to embrace a darker tone - Godzilla Forum (godzilla-movies.com)

What story would I make if I wrote the story for Godzilla Vs. Kong? - Godzilla Forum (godzilla-movies.com)

@SarcasticGoji

Exactly, I've said the same before many times, but a good movie and a movie you like are 2 different things. I see the problems KotM has, but the positives outweigh the negatives for me and made it one of my favorite movies!

I mean, at least the characters from KotM had personality, a character arc and actually DID something. I don't think I can find a single character arc throughout GvK.

The most interesting character was the Mute girl because of her connection to Kong, literally every other character though we're so uninteresting that I sometimes forget they were there.

Unlike most of us, G. H. (Gman) actually knows what he’s talking about, as he’s stated before, actually studied the way good movies are made. 

As for my opinion, the how much you enjoy a movie doesn’t make it good

sonictiger

Emma Russel is probably a poorly misunderstood character than people think. It’s because she isn’t insane. Madison herself wasn’t even a great character just ok, especially compared to the other characters.

I wonder when Gman's scathing opinion is coming....

just sayin 

You just went too far.  We barely got to know HALF of these characters in KOTM.  Madison was the only one engaging and....ok yes.

But my opinion on KOTM's humans still stands that they sucked.

Ishiro and Maddie get a pass for being good characters

Kattozilla

They ruin my perfect pitch

shepard tones hurt my head

they're like sound mandelbrot fracals

but i really like them because i'm the kind of type to like really weird stuff like that

sonictiger

Coherent means logical and consistent and as I just said, it’s neither of those. The characters in kotm are far better

Sorry it was an uncropped gif but yes MECHA G

Yeah, I have to agree with SarcasticGoji here. It's brainless fun and action which is why most people really like it, but I was expecting more. My main complaints are that the human characters are the worst in the entirety of the Monsterverse thus far and logic/physic are just thrown out the window halfway through. It had its moments I guess, but still I'd give it a 3/10

It's a coherent and simple plot.

The characters though are trash except Jia and our title stars.

as well as....

Characters, Incoherent Plot, Why’d they need king to get into hollow earth if they already had the opening? It’s just dumb fun. No logic but really fun!

I mean I really liked it, I’d watch it again, but it’s just a bad movie,

W H Y

So bad it’s good.

WAIT  W H A T

Why???

Oh, I just mean the Godzilla series, but I see your point

No, this isn't directed at anyone.

Just clearing that up right now.

SarcasticGoji,
Thing a lot of people tend to overlook is that there actually wasn't a gap even if it wasn't Godzilla. Honda, Tsuburaya and their writers were still hard at work on sci-fi/kaiju material all the way to Godzilla's return in 1962:

1956 - Rodan
1957 - The Mysterians
1958 - The H-Man, Varan: The Unbelievable
1959 - Battle in Outer Space
1960 - The Human Vaper
1961 - Mothra
1962 - Gorath

Up through King Kong vs. Godzilla, there was no Godzilla series. It was just called, "Toho's Science Fiction/Fantasy Series." From Toho's point of view it wasn't much of a revival, just a continuation of what they had been doing for nearly a decade.

Wow I wasn’t expecting this outcome

If you listen to the entirety of the soundtracks of both films, not just the kaiju themes you will notice some gaps in quality. 

Akira Ifukubes Theme is brilliant in the original film. Not relying on percussion and refraining from the common use of shepard tones that are used so much today to create the feeling of unease. And the piano used as a percussion instrument (which it is but isn’t typically used that way) is amazing

ok so 'Goodbye Old Friend' may or may not make me cry

at least it makes me want to cry, so that's pretty impressive

the scene it's paired with just...*mwah* good. its very good.

Oh ok. 

G. H. (Gman)

There was a bit of a gap between the two series of the duology and revival. And this is the standard form I see when it’s divided.

Die-hard Spino Fan

It is already over powered, Toho says it’s the strongest godzilla. Except for godzilla earth

i like bananas and apples

blackberries (especially these really good domestic-grown blackberries at this one fruit stand) are pretty good, 'specially when you get big sweet ones

Interesting way to split it up, thought not out of line.

My favorite is definitely the Golden Age, which you seem to have defined as the Revival.

I like monsterverse but if you compare GvK’s Score to anything else in the series, it really just falls short. 

Bear Mcrearys score was excellent and did have original songs in it. The Memories of San Francisco being one of my favorite songs. The Ghidorah theme is excellent, though I do prefer this one. I don’t see not making a moving piece at all. Much of the score of KOTM is more emotional than GvK which even moments that try to sound meaningful just end up sounding like an epic part. It doesn’t really have any grasp on tone or quiet. The Quiet sections just sound like they were just lowered in volumes which defeats the purpose.

Well shoot forgot about that.

Honestly the scene overshadowed the score

"Mcreary succeeded at making an amazing score but never made a moving piece in the slightest."

This is a contradictory comment, but given what seems to be your criteria for "moving piece":

Goodbye Old Friend

Oh yeah, I guess that’s true. Is there even going to be a final form? Or will it just keep mutating until it’s overpowered?

veggies are important

Don't forget your fruits lol.

G. H. (Gman)

Your probably right, I just think the other kaiju have more of a part to play than just showing up. And I don’t know if it’s been revealed why in the show, but Anguirus doesn’t emit the red dust, which signifies its seperate from the rest of the kaiju I think

Though I love the original the Revival Series is probably my favorite of Showa Era 

Even thought the Original is my favorite, I do love the revival series and it has more options as well.
