Why the MTV Movie Brawl is an inaccurate portrayal of what movie-goers actually want to see.

As some of you know, Godzilla lost the duke-out with the Vampire Academy movie, which I never knew existed before a couple days ago. Now, after logging on today and checking our @GodzillaMovies twitter account, I was astonished to see so many arguments going on between both fandoms. It was ridiculous!

Here's why fans should not get themselves worked up over this survey and why members should not start topics / rants about it here. It's MTV. Plain and simple. Nothing against MTV, but it's not the right demographic that Godzilla would normally appeal to.

The shows they put out are shows like Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf, etc... I know because my girlfriend is into that crap and often times has it playing on our TV. The commercials say it all = the network is focused on teenie-boppers, who are still high off the Twilight fad.

So to host a survey on a site whose taret audience is that demographic explains why Godzilla lost. Hell, I'm surprised Godzilla even gave them a run for their money. It would have been like SPIKE TV hosting a survey pitting the two films together. That network (my kind of network) targets young to middle-age men and hosts shows like Deadliest Warrior, Bar Rescue, A Thousand Ways to Die as well as having the most epic movie marathons.

So really, it was never a fair fight. The spam and arguments taking place on social networks over this is ridiculous and laughable. The fact that some fans get this heated over one debate is remarkable.

So I say chill it out guys, we all know Godzilla is going to bring home the bacon this year. If not for the beast himself, it'll be for the incredible VFX and of course, the stellar cast! Half the 'Vampire Academy' fans probably never even heard of Breaking Bad or were too young to have watched it. So, it makes sense they wouldn't know or care about Godzilla. So, there's no point to argue.

Anyways, I thought I should post this up so we don't get a ton of topics about the movie brawl winding up on here with more rants and arguments.

I agree Chris.

Vampires sucks, MTV isn´t a place for Godzilla, Godzilla isn´t a shit product for brainless girls, Godzilla is more.

Im happy that Godzilla lose, all the good movies in that movie brawl are losing.

So, I suggest that we must party.

Agreed with chris.

Sure it wouldnt even affect the success of the new G film anyway.

and besides The Godzilla trailer on You Tube Has just reached 13 million views and it got its 10 million in just 2 days, for VA the second trailer hasnt even surpassed 1,500,000 views yet.

and If Godzilla would have won it would have gone up againts Dawn of the planet of the apes, a higly anticipated sequel with an upcoming third film that already has a release date announced.

But VA its gonna go up againts the Robocop reboot, film thats already getting alot of bias assumptions and premature hatred.

How cheap is that?

I didn't flip out. I remember in the chat below we were talking about lemons. Then there were some VA fans here and there, but overall we did a pretty damn good effort for a battle between the King of the Monsters and teen vampires.

I'm also in my teens and prefer daikaiju to many of the creatures featured in today's media, though I totally respect everyone's cinematic preferences, whether it be vampire movies or giant monster films. I'll just personally go for Godzilla every time!

I'm bummed but I'm proud of what we did too. Godzilla started out at 21%... Considering the forum this survey took place on we made a dang good effort. The fact that the tween vamp lovers had to go so far to win means that we got Godzilla's name out there more even if it was subconsciously. Good job everyone!

It's not an inaccurate portayal because of where it was held.

It's an inaccurate portrayal because you could literally sit on the site spam voting your movie for hours if you wanted as the poll had no ip tracking when it came to voting. The second time I checked the pole I noticed a chat feature and after reading it for 5 minutes just to see the general populace I noticed about 7 people advertising vamp Academy for the whole 5 minutes I was there. That's at least 5 solid minutes they were on that site advertising the movie and continuously voting it up

@Kaijujira

Godzilla beat Dawn of the Planet of the Apes in the first round actually. Had it beaten VA, it would have gone up against something called Tracers, another movie i have never heard of (making it a heavyweight in this tournamentt).

Movie goers love stupid movies, which is why vampire accademy is going to do paifnully well.

He is 350ft Tall people, those things on his neck ARE gills, and the Brazil photo is part of the final advertising design-- Deal with it.

Chris how do you do it. thats why your so awesome, i do agree dude. I now understand, like even RoboCop is better than that Vampire CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!! RoboCop losing to teen vampires, just weird. we actually started beating VA 51 to 49, I say we did a good job. All G-FANS raise our cups in the air and say we did it.
