I don't follow DMan's videos, so I'm not sure what you're speaking of. I know that a symphonic concert called "Evangelion vs. Shin Godzilla" was held in March of 2017 featuring pieces from both Evangelion and Shin Godzilla, obviously. Crunchyroll confirmed that Ifukube's material was played.
Also of note, Ifukube's score for the original film was completely rerecorded in stereo by Kaoru Wada and released in August of 2016. (No tracks were used in Shin Godzilla, but I own the CD and it is fantastic.)
I'm sorry if this turns out to be a spoiler, but I think Godzilla will get a power boost at some point in the movie, which will cause his dorsal spikes to transform into this "classic" style.
In the latest TV spot, during the intimidation scene, his spikes seem to bear a closer resemblance to their 2014 design. It's a bit hard to tell though, they're being obscured by the water.
G. H. Man you are arguing whether or not it matters if ghidorah is a mutant which is not what the topic is about; the topic is about if ghidorah is a mutant so please let's get back on topic
If that's the case, G. H. (Gman), then what was the footage of the orchestra of the film with them recreating Ifukube's original tracks from the DMan video?
Was it a post-release concert? It looks like it's in a recording room.
It's a debate. It's why forums exist. I don't think you even jump started it.
Look, I'm sorry I started some controversy, but if we could get back on topic, that would be great. Thanks.
Well, besides the one I’ve already mentioned, I wanna hear Sacred Springs, Rodan Theme, and Ghidorah Theme
TheGMan123,
No. Anno confirmed that he had wanted to convert the original Ifukube tracks to stereo, but the process was too painstaking, so they ended up using the mono recordings. (Cinema Today)
Didn't Shin Godzilla's composers actually completely replicate the original Ifukube pieces down to the specific instrumental composition and not use recordings?
I remember that DMan1954 covered that a while back.
Honestly, its' hard to tell for sure from that angle.
It could be a flash back scene
Personally, I wanna hear Rodan's and Ghidorah's theme the most.
Definitely Ifukube's classic Godzilla theme. It's in need of a new spin.
Ko Otani did something very close to it in GMK and Kieth Emerson did a rendition of it for Godzilla: Final Wars, but it was sorta awful and fittingly didn't make it in the movie.
J. Peter Robinson's brief rendition in the American version of Godzilla 2000 was kinda neat, but I wanted more. (I have no idea why he included Rodan's theme in the movie though...)
Meanwhile, Toho just used stock Ifukube tracks for the Millennium series and Shin Godzilla whenever they needed Godzilla's original theme.
If the leaked music from Tokyo Comic Con is any indication, McCreary's rendition could be the best since Ifukube's return in the early 1990s.
I want the classic Godzilla theme to shake the chairs in the theater
Naturally, I would hope for Godzilla, Rodan, and King Ghidorah's classical themes. As for Mothra, however, I would prefer her 1961 Mosura theme, along with 1964's Sacred Springs.
I never said it would ruin the movie. I said it would harm the dramatic tension and take away from the mystery. But since you ask:
The Heisei King Ghidorah's origins have been criticized since 1991, so for many, yes--It put a significant dent in the film for quite a few fans and critics. If anything the Heisei monsters are the #1 most guilty for being over explained--Particularly Battra and SpaceGodzilla which many agree are the weakest films of the era.
Meanwhile, look at the original Alien. All we knew about the xenomorph was what we watched on-screen. Part of what made it terrifying was that it wasn't over explained--The mystery perpetuated its terror. Then Prometheus and Alien: Covenant come out around three decades later and piss off half the fan base with some really convoluted backstory. The fact is it never really needed to be explored and worked just fine as it was.
Did knowing ghidorahs origins in the heisei Era ruin the movie, how about biolante, or destroyah did knowing their origin ruin the movie?
But being grounded doesn't mean you have to sacrifice dramatic tension by over explaining things. That has nothing to do with it.
Well the showa Era and Mothra trilogy were not trying to be as grounded like the legendary trilogy need I remind you of flying godzilla in godzilla versus hedorah
Who's the artist again? Is it Andy Fairhurst?
Maybe if they want to set up future installments? But I don't think it's important to the immediate story. If they bring it up, okay, but I hope they maintain mystery to King Ghidorah's origins. We never really found out where he was from in the Showa series/Mothra trilogy and that's a far more interesting and ominous background than knowing too much about him. What we don't know is far more terrifying and lends credence to the myths behind him.
Well it sets up that more of them exist so it is important
So that's definitely the Bandai 2004 Rodan (Final Wars) figure. But sure. Lego.
World building and spoiling the mystery are two different things. There's such a thing as over-explaining some things. All we need to know is King Ghidorah is a powerful entity from space that could cause our extinction--That's all we've ever needed to know to establish dramatic tension within the movie. I don't really care if he's a unique creature, an alien mutation or the Easter Bunny one day out of the year, nor is that particularly vital information.
MDK 2 (MinecraftDinoKaiju),
The rewrites Dougherty and Shields did were minimal. There's nothing to suggest they did complete rewrites, they just added some thing for sake of consistency:
The Total Film article said, "Dougherty and writing partner Shields have been able to some input into the next film, 'We did some rewrites on the script just to help carry certain themes across and to flesh out some of the characters.'"
This is par for the course in Hollywood. Many screenplays go through several rewrites from multiple screenwriters. The 2014 Godzilla film had 5 different screenwriters work on it, but only Max Borenstein was given credit. David S. Goyer worked on it as well and Drew Peirce was brought in to polish it after Borenstein finished. Then Frank Darabont came in to flesh out some of the character moments.
I have to say this the best shot of Rodan thus far. Spreading his wings and his claws like an eagle.
But it's a high quality non-screencap image of that scene, which makes it a whole lot better!
Also, while Mike Dougherty did make a quote about Rodan being an A-Bomb, it was actually an entirely separate quote.
I imagine that some of his origins may be elaborated on in the film proper.
It's called world building, typically it helps make a movie better
Does it matter? From the perspective of a human, Ghidorah having mutated in space prior to coming to Earth would have no bearing on our perception of Ghidorah as an alien. It would only matter if Ghidorah came to Earth and somehow we mutated it.
That doesn't look like a LEGO figure. Fake.
Yes. I'm surprised you haven't heard of it. Look it up. You're welcome.
Wait he rewrote godzilla versus king kong, seriously? Not sure whether to be concerned or happy about that
