MemberBaragonFeb-19-2020 8:00 PMSay your Godzilla hot takes. Here are some of mine. Keep in mind some of mine might not be hot takes to other people:
1. The Ghidorah 1964 movie turned Godzilla and Rodan into childish babies both in appearance and behavior
2. The main character from Ebirah is one of the worst written characters in the series
3. Hedorah is as pretentious as Taylor Swift’s “Style” music video
4. Godzilla 1984 and Tokyo SOS are great movies with great characters.
5. Godzilla 2014 is a good movie that’s better than KOTM.
6. Kong deserves to win Godzilla vs Kong.
7. Legendary Godzilla is a spoiled brat that needs to be knocked down a peg by Kong.
8. Every single dub in the franchise is bad
9. Anime Ghidorah is the best Ghidorah design
10. Godzilla 2000’s characters are bland, generic, and/or poorly acted.
Angering the Godzilla fan base one take at a time
The 1998 Godzilla is better than people give it credit for and is by no means the worst in the series
Orga is an underrated Kaiju
Look upon my works, you mighty, and despair
In Ike Broflovski's voice: Its mai tuurn!
I think Godzilla vs King Ghidorah is the worse Godzilla movie ever: Time Traveling plot that makes no sense, the weird Steven Spielberg reference, and that stupid flamboyant android-thingy
I like Godzilla 1998
Monsterverse is my favorite Godzilla continuity
Shin Godzilla makes a better Mock-Godzilla villain in vein of Space Godzilla, Biollante, Orga, and Mechagodzilla than a bonafide Godzilla
G98/Zilla could have been a good scientifically accurate Godzilla if they would have kept the traditional godzilla atomic breath and personality
Resurgence "Orga is an underrated Kaiju"
Oh, I agree.
Xenotaris "Monsterverse is my favorite Godzilla continuity"
Same.
A true fan can acknowledge the bad while still appreciating and cherishing the good.
Might as well. Though I figure I rattle these these off all the time:
- There's only been 2-3 truly good Godzilla movies since 1989.
- All Monsters Attack is better than all of the 1990s movies.
- The Monsterverse has evolved into a by-the-numbers missed opportunity that does nothing new with the franchise.
- King of the Monsters '19 is a bottom 10 Godzilla flick.
- Monsterverse Godzilla makes a better Gamera than Godzilla.
- G'98 is a cringe inducing example of bad 1990s filmmaking tossed in a blender, "Godzilla" in the title or not.
- Outside of Honda, Fukuda was the best and, more directly, most resourceful director of the franchise.
- Rodan is a fine film, but overrated.
- On the flip side, Giant Monster Varan is incredibly underrated.
- No kaiju film has been as good as Gamera 3: The Revenge of Iris since it was released.
- Scientific accuracy has no place in this genre.
- The Anime Trilogy isn't too shabby and is easier to rewatch than the Monsterverse or the 1990s flicks.
- Pacific Rim is the best giant monster movie Legendary has released.
- Tsuburaya Productions, and their Ultraman output, is the most creative example of the genre this era. ("Era" being a fairly broad term, so we'll say over the last decade.)
G. H. (Gman) Not even gonna try to debate the MonsterVerse stuff. That's all water under the bridge at this point.
"- G'98 is a cringe inducing example of bad 1990s filmmaking tossed in a blender, "Godzilla" in the title or not."
It's funny. For the longest time, I never really liked it when people applied the term "cringe" to movies. I just like the term was never truly felt like it was applicable to cinematic entertainment (outside of maybe something really gory), and that it was just the product of an extremely passionate movie culture.
Then I actually saw 1998, and I suddenly got it.
"- Scientific accuracy has no place in this genre."
This is fact.
A true fan can acknowledge the bad while still appreciating and cherishing the good.
Also, some new hot takes of my own.
-Reijiro Koroku’s soundtrack for The Return of Godzilla is underrated.
-James Bannon's 1989 Godzilla 2 draft, featuring Godzilla facing an army of machines run by an advanced supercomputer, actually sounds like a really cool idea.
-Speaking of machines, Berserk should have been the Heisei Mechagodzilla. He would've been a lot more interesting than what we got...
A true fan can acknowledge the bad while still appreciating and cherishing the good.
I forgot some so I guess this is round 2.
Legendary Godzilla's design isn't anything special
Ghidorah, Mothra, MechaGodzilla and to some degree Rodan should go on a long hiatus from appearing in a G movie again.
Kong Skull Island is the best movie in the Monsterverse so far
Godzilla vs Mothra 92 is an underrated Heisei movie.
Godzilla Save The Earth is the best Godzilla game we've gotten.
I don't mind the monsterverse ending with Godzilla vs Kong
The anime trilogy was probably the biggest wasted potential I've seen in the series.
Im Durp
"Godzilla Save The Earth is the best Godzilla game we've gotten."
that's a straight up fact
Look upon my works, you mighty, and despair
Yeah, I was a little on the fence if that was a hot take but I didn't know if the Unleashed crowd grew a little or the newest one actually had a huge following in the fanbase.
"the newest one actually had a huge following in the fanbase."
I would say those who like the latest one are few and far between.
G. H. (Gman) I'm not a big gamer, but it seems to me that the one thing everybody really liked about the latest game were the models, because you see them almost everywhere in fan animations these days.
A true fan can acknowledge the bad while still appreciating and cherishing the good.
G. H. (Gman) I enjoyed it for what it was a pure and simple Godzilla Simulator
Look upon my works, you mighty, and despair
I don't mind it myself, but I'm not going to attempt to convince anyone it's a great game.
Godzilla 2014 is not a good film and kotm is better and a big improvement.
The characters story and dialogue in kotm are not terrible as everyone is making it out to be except for Sam Colmen he sucks.
Ford Brody in 2014 is the worst human character in the entire franchise.
I hate when certain you tubers say they are massive Godzilla fans but don’t know anything about franchise at all.
I don’t think shin Godzilla is a masterpiece as everyone says it is I thought the characters were all one dimensional there is way too many scenes with the human characters are in rooms having meetings and discussions and not enough scenes with people caught up in the destruction compared to the original Gojira film and I feel like 2 hours is way to long for this film.
The anime trilogy is the biggest disappointment and a huge missed opportunity.
When are we ever going to get a new AAA Godzilla and not another crappy mobile game.
Mike saegusa in the last two Heisei films is annoying.
Allot of people seems to not understand Emma russels character more then I do.
Cutting away from the monster fights is nothing new to franchise.
