Hmmm... link is abnormally long, did I paste a fake website?
petition to change minilla's name to deformed ninja turtle
@Sonic.
Josh was a pointless character. He didn’t do anything and was supposed to be there for comedic effect. That would be fine if they actually had more screen time.
As much as I love DopePope I hate these. Particularly gigan. A monsterverse gigan should not be a Muto
Not even Wingard wants to release a Director's Cut:
"For me, this is the version that worked the best, and I don’t see any reason to do a director’s cut. Probably the only thing if, 10 years from now, somebody said, ‘Hey, do you want to do a director’s cut of Godzilla vs. Kong?’ I would probably just use that time to have another 40 days in the sound mix, because I just love that kind of thing.” - Adam Wingard [source]
I preferred Heisei's Godzilla Junior over Showa and Millienium's Minilla because he actually looked like a baby Godzilla instead of a mutant ninja turtle
Team Godzilla was just a PG-13 version of Scooby-Doo.

Now who doesn't want a deformed Ninja-turtle thing from the Showa era?
True, but I feel like a good opportunity was missed out on. Madison and Josh could've argued or even tried to undermine Illene and Nathan while Bernie went solo to figure out what APEX what doing. I think it would've given us a good human arc that was resolved once mecha G/the plans for Mecha G were revealed.
Just change his name from Minilla to Godzilla Junior, because when I hear or read minilla my mind thinks of that deformed Ninja-turtle thing from the Showa era.
Also, if Godzilla vs. Kong is 5 years after King of the Monsters, Madison sure does age slowly...
KaijuBuildz,
Yes, but even Director's Cuts need not be so self-indulgent. remember James Cameron filmed an entirely different ending for Terminator 2. The scene was completed, but James Cameron felt it was, "too neat" and didn't fit the movie. When he was allowed to do his Director's Cut of Terminator 2, he still left that scene out because he had the wherewithal and self-control to do away with unnecessary fluff and scenes that didn't work.
The Snyder Cut wasn't even entirely what Snyder envisioned--He added that awful, unnecessary epilogue scene, and Martian Manhunter (who was originally supposed to be Green Lantern), in reshoots.
Director's Cuts don't have to be that self-indulgent. Directors can think objectively about their work as well.
Issues with GvK aside, I respect Wingard sticking to his guns for a tighter piece.
@G. H. (Gman) About GvK, I definitely agree with you. About the Snyder Cut, not as much. This probable not the best Forum site to discuss this, but the intent of the Snyder Cut wasn't to make an actual movie like it would be released in cinemas. The point of the Snyder Cut was to show Zack's complete (and with some extra's) vision of a movie which he was tragically forced to leave and which was turned into a Frankensteins monster 4 years ago.
Realistically, If Snyder finished his version of the movie 4 years ago, a lot of the run time would have been reduced to the length of other movies because like you said, that's how movies are made. It helped that it was on a streaming service instead of in cinemas, the movie itself was even divided in chapters to make it easer to either take breaks or to even watch it like a show. I'm sure somebody will either calculate or even edit the Snyder Cut down to a tighter movie with a shorter run time.
Team Godzilla, particularly Madison, played the parts of sleuths. They were the mystery solvers, the characters we follow to figure out what APEX is doing.
Did their actions actually have much impact on the story as a whole. Well, no... But at least the film followed a procedure to show us what APEX was doing through those characters instead of explain it to us through dialog.
It's still hilarious that a "sinister" company had the time and money to sculpt out a Godzilla head for their big creation and make other adjustments so it looks like Godzilla.
At least Kiryu was built as an armor over Godzilla's bones, so they had no choice but to make it look like Godzilla. This skews closer to the pointlessness of the Heisei MechaGodzilla.
I mean, this is filmmaking 101. Most movies start with what's called "assembly cuts" that are just a bunch of scenes put in order with no ryhme or reason to the editing process. Almost every movie ever made clocks at 4-6 hours with these initial cuts. But once you're working on it in the editing room, you have to make tough choices to see what works, what doesn't work and, most of all, tighten the movie.
One of the reasons I loath the Snyder Cut of Justice League is because the director was so self-indulgent in his own footage and the length of the movie. He had no sense of cutting what was unnecessary.
Tighter movies are usually better and while I admit Godzilla vs. Kong is especially tight, sometimes directors simply realize a movie works better when you tweak plot points in post-production. Suddenly the movie becomes something completely different than planned, but still works.
Ah, I see. I did not know that, my bad. My points do still stand for me at least as I don't think they should have brought in MG this early on the Monsterverse.
Then again, I personally don't think MG was originally ment to be in this movie. Many of the scenes and characters felt forced and unnecessary to the overall plot of the movie, making me believe it wasn't part of the original story (maybe these could have been part of the reshoots way back?). The reason why I think they included him was because this could likely be the last Monsterverse movie and they wanted to complete the Toho Big 5 (Also, they already had the license because of RP1). This might also be why the time jump was added, to make MG a bit more believable in this universe, but at the end of the day these are all just speculations.
THEM!'s pretty cool
@KaijuBuilds
isnt GVK five years after KoTm? And Apex already said they were more advanced than Monarch
If they made post credit scene for Godzilla vs. Kong, it would go like this:
Monarch finds a gigantic egg in the ice, only to be interrupted by Godzilla, the Titan king stares at the egg and it begins to hatch. It hatches into a newborn specimen of Titanus Gojira. Godzilla roars at the Monarch helicopters and swims off along with his newly adopted son.
And I like how seems to almost laugh at Godzilla when he comes out of the building. Although, that might just be me.
yeah Ren Serizawa was just like:
Ren Serizawa: hey I pilot Mecha-Godzilla
King Ghidorah's Brain: Nope, I pilot Mecha-Godzilla mortal!
zaps
Ren Serizawa: dead...
MechaGodzilla: laughs in mechanized Ghidorah cackles
I have a feeling they'll expand Kong's d... I mean lore in later films
I liked how Mecha-Godzilla brought his arms and hands up like they were his extra heads (Ghidorah was definitely in control of this guy)
i am very excited for godzilla vs kong. We have top 5 wordpress hosting in the world.
