sonictiger I love Godzilla 2014. I grew up with Godzilla movies, but I was born in '99 so the first time I ever had the opportunity to see a Godzilla movie in a theater was 2014. I'm obviously somewhat biased because of that, but I think a lot of people don't give 2014 the credit it deserves. As far as the Monsterverse movies go, it has the best human perspective of the series except for maybe Skull Island. I think the movie shot itself in the foot by having so much of the advertising revolve around Bryan Cranston's character instead of Ford Brody, as it gave people the impression that Cranston would be very present throughout the movie. However, in my opinion, the actual plot of the movie is very solid when compared to most other kaiju media. Unlike KotM and GvK, it felt very grounded and took itself seriously within its own universe which gave the movie a "disaster" tone more akin to Cloverfield than Pacific Rim. Also I just adore the MUTOs, very simple but very well realized designs with some of the best sound design in movie history. I'll stop gushing now lol, I'm curious to know why you aren't a fan of it.

Xenotaris I love the Alien/Predator tier list, even if it was a mispost. Mine would certainly look different but Alien might be my favorite movie of all time so I respect it. I'm also curious why you have Shin placed so low. It certainly came off as a bit pretentious, but I was able to overlook that because of how engrossing they were able to make a single-kaiju movie. That's a difficult task but I think they handled it fairly well.

Xenotaris Umm, why is Shin so low? It isn't really that bad in my opinion. And Godzilla at S rank, wow that's a lot of love, Not bad.

Xenotaris Is that an Alien/Predator Tier list?

sonictiger I mean, as long as Godzilla 2014 is at least higher than Godzilla KOTM.

oops wrong list

T_T

I'd put it in C.

Haruo isn’t a character. Haruo is an emotion.

sonictiger

well, where would you put it?

I'm sorry but Godzilla (2014) is getting way too much love.

Here's my list.

Singular point would definitely go in S tier for me. 

Also, looking at these tier lists, it's great to see Godzilla vs. Destoroyah getting a lot of love.

Same. I remember being genuinely excited to see that trilogy, mainly because I had been wanting to see a post-apocalyptic Godzilla film with monsters ruling the Earth for a while, but they ended up being some of the worst films in the franchise in my opinion.

I initially gave Planet of the Monsters a pass. Even though I thought it was underwhelming, there were some entertaining moments (specifically the reveal of Godzilla Earth) and there were some ideas that were introduced that I thought were interesting (which unfortunately ended up being dropped completely).

City on the Edge of Battle just left me bored and confused, with me being a bit annoyed at how they completely wasted Mechagodzilla and didn't really do anything with the advanced robotic city idea. Not to mention the blatant false advertisement of it being a Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla film.

I went in to The Planet Eater with really low expectations and it ended up being one of the only Godzilla films to actually make me angry while watching it due to how annoyingly pretentious it was and it managed to do something I didn't think was possible, it made a fight between Godzilla and Ghidorah boring (if you can even call that a fight).

Not to mention that the trilogy also wasted most of the classic kaiju and, in my opinion, Haruo was one of the most obnoxious human characters in the entire franchise.

Cool Godzilla I went into those movies wanting to love them, but I was really disappointed. I remember a behind-the-scenes video the studio put out not long before the first movie dropped with all of this concept art for about a billion classic monsters and name dropping even more and then it came out and... almost none of it mattered. It was all just for a little intro and throwaway references. The first movie had Godzilla in it, whatever the generic dragon dorks were called, and maybe some reference to a mythical Mothra?

I fully understand the draw of a post-apocalypse monster movie, but that series just didn't do it for me. The only non-Godzilla monster we saw in any meaningful way was Ghidorah, and while I thought his design had potential I didn't like the religious plot that surrounded it.

Admittedly, I'm somewhat biased. I have no problem with anime as a whole, I enjoyed Singular Point, but I hate the recent trend of everything being 3D animated. I can forgive it in some cases, but it's used as a way to make animated productions with a lower budget. I would've liked to see a version of this trilogy that was beautifully hand drawn. While that alone wouldn't have saved it, I think it would've made the whole experience a lot more palatable.

HinikunaGoji EXACTLY

EliteFreakozoid I kinda agree with the F's.

sonictiger Agreed

Wow.

Im the weird one. 

idk why I’m surprised

This is a very fun idea. Within the tiers mine are in no particular order. I made an effort to disperse everything across all tiers, but honestly I could make do with 3. Favorites, Would Watch Again, and Would Not Watch Again which would only consist of the anime trilogy.

Singular Point is a solid B to me, I definitely had fun with it and I love new takes on classic monster designs. Godzilla: The Series is probably a C, I loved it as a kid but I have trouble getting through it on rewatches. Hanna-Barbera has to be an F, the only Godzilla media other than the anime trilogy I would actively avoid watching again lol.

Nebraska is a state in the US

But if GvK were released in any other year than COVID, I don’t think it would have preformed nearly as well as it did

I can see that was an unpopular choice. But Im prepared to die on this hill.

GVK in F tier is a little harsh.  Though I would give a C to G'14.

Xenotaris Same

Those designs are both hilarious and ridiculous at the same time.

I need to rewatch all of the godzilla movies again before making a final judgement

SasquaDash

in seriousness, I really do like the show (hence s) but I do agree with some of your points. Often times it does feel like the leads are just doing things for no reason other than just work (Yun especially suffers from this). But honestly having rewatched it again recently I feel the writing is a lot better than people give it credit for.

Idk, just the quick exposition also dialogue is something enjoyed in Shin and SP immensely.

But one problem I have is the lack of care the story took with Li’s death. Honestly it didn’t have much impact other than providing the otaki crew with the OD. Mei and maybe even BB should have reacted to it a lot more.

HinikunaGoji

For Me, Singular Point was pretty disappointing. 

It had great animation, some cool monster scenes, and some interesting ideas. But personally I felt that the story was kind of a mess with character's motives and roles randomly changing, too many characters being introduced only to be dropped, certain events that just happen without explanation and are never mentioned again, certain plot points that contradict themselves, "New" monsters that felt like uninspired copies of classic kaiju, way too much focus on physics and math to the point where it became tedious and hard to follow, a really abrupt unsatisfying ending, and Godzilla himself feeling like an afterthought at times, with a lot of his scenes trying too hard to copy Shin Godzilla.

I love this movie, it makes my swearing o.k.

anyways,

f**k yea.

hopefully i can see it!

SP IN D??
 
Obviously because I like it, that means you should too. And since you are not conforming I have no choice but to make a mean post about how I don’t like you.

 
Singular Point has science. Which we all know is the determining factor of what makes anything good. And we cannot appreciate anything that is scientifically inaccurate whatsoever.

Cool Godzilla

I just hate that movie.

It just makes me irrationally angry.

"Gamera vs The Internal Conflict"

Here's Mine.

(The Hanna-Barbera cartoon would be in "C", Godzilla: The Series would be in "B" and Singular Point would be in "D".)

S - Masterpiece

A - Great

B - Good/Average

C - Mid

D - Poor

F - Bad/Terrible

(I got rid of "E" because it made it easier to sort them)
