New Petition to Reinstate Akira Takarada's Scene into Godzilla!

I'm going to try and put this in the nicest way possible.

There's not much of a point for a petition if you know your going to fail.

I'd really just recommend waiting for an extended edition on DVD for Akira Takarada's scene.

not happening

Not happening and I'm not sure it needs to...

Here's the deal guys, no disrespect to the petition or the great talent that Mr. Takarada is, but this kind of thing happens all the time. We don't even know what this scene was. If the film makers cut it because it didn't mesh with a scene or it threw off the pacing that means it was cut to improve the movie.

I'm glad this movie is being edited without bias to create the best possible movie for audiences. If cutting Takarada's scene does that, then I'm all for it. At best we'll get to see his cameo on the DVD / Bluray release.

I don't expect this to stop anyone from signing the petition. By all means sign it. I enjoy the passion. But at this point I don't believe that it's something that will or should to happen.

Perhaps it will just be a deleted scene.

No offense but this is the most riduclous thing ive ever seen. if gareth cuts her from the movie its for a reason. Wouldnt want some terrible scene crammed in there cuz some gfans blew a gasket over her not being in it. Lol ill sign a petetion to keep her out of the movie. #InGarethWeTrust

Amm......MIKEYNAMEZ.....she's a he.....

This really didn't need its own thread. Tool.

Oh hey! That's your opinion, but don't make those kind of comments! We really don't need that here!

@MikeyNamez

Do you have any idea who Takarada is? Because... He's not a she.

GMAN I'm gonna have to respectively disagree with you. Its not always that film editors cut scenes for the greater good of the film. One Scend I recall that wished was in the final film was the deleted scene from Return of the Jedi. The scene when Luke is constructing his own lightsaber. Why they cut this from the final cut still baffels me. It didn't take away from the story and you gave the audience of how the lightsaber was constructed, not to mention how bad a** the scene was

@Sparkzilla

Granted what editors cut and keep in films is largely subjective from one standpoint, but professional from another since it's their craft.

For example, you wanted the lightsaber construction scene kept in Return of the Jedi. You're right it didn't take anything away from the story, but it didn't add much either. Plus omitting it adds an element of surprise when Luke uses it for the first time. It alerts audiences that he has a brand new weapon and its reveal is much more exciting. The new saber isn't jarring enough to question and the pacing of the film isn't haulted by a random scene of him constructing it. Plus, if producers wanted the film to be a certain length then cutting down a short scene like that was the most logical.

Simply being a "badass" scene and "not taking away" from the story isn't enough to keep some shots in. You have to worry about pacing, run time length, how smoothly it cuts into the movie / surrounding scenes and if it's really needed. In the case of the lightsaber construction, I can say with 110% certainty there was no real necessity for it.

i don't even know who this guy is, someone explain for me

Ahhh shucks

never mind i saw him in the first godzilla movie and final wars

@Murph Dog

And...

Mothra vs. Godzilla

Monster Zero

Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth

even if they did cut his scene which they have, maybe gareth will put that scene it a deleted scenes feature on the dvd and blu-ray. :)

Most of the time when you see a deleted scene you quickly understand why it was deleted.  I'm going to guess that the deleted scene takes away from the movie.  Therefore, I don't want the deleted scene reinstated.
