I don’t believe the general public is so stupid that it would perceive Mothra, a giant Moth, as whatever the MUTOs were suppose to be. Frankly, the male MUTO didn’t utilize it’s flight enough to think of it as a pure flying Kaiji. Mothra has more to offer when it comes to it’s flight than that MUTO provided.
I already know this and that wasn’t what I was getting at. Ghidorah IS a planet buster level threat. This isn’t the type of villain you normally get from a 1st or 2nd movie in a series. We start seeing these types from the 3rd on.
It will. After Ghidorah where else could it go without having to use Kaiji from space. A Destroy All Monsters setup would only work if you have pre-establish Kaiji. No one will be interested in seeing a bunch of jobber Kaiji that the audience isn’t familiar with.
Stiff how? It’s like a really big version of a lot of the vinyl toys you see. It’s not vinyl mind you but it has articulation like one. And while it’s huge you can kinda put it anywhere and it’ll make a statement. The tail comes off easy enough for storage too.
And the 3 footer is the 24inch. Probably getting that measurement when the tail is added pumping the thing to 40in long.
They didn’t utilize MUTO as a flying monster though. When it DID fly at Godzilla (twice), it promptly gets fucked up, and then just becomes a ground based monster. Even when they 2 on 1 the big G, the flying monster just basically jumps really high and elbow drops him. Mothra would be webbing Godzilla so he can’t move, fucking him up 6 ways from Sunday with TRUE flight skills, knocking buildings over with hurricane winds (the flying MUTO flew past a building in this movie and didn’t even rattle a window), picking his immobile ass up and just flying him into shit and dropping him from outer space. You’d be an idiot, even as a casual, to believe Mothra and MUTO were the same thing.
you make people wait for him one more movie, and thats one more movie bringing in a huge chunk of change, and getting fans excited. You don’t do Spider-Man and just pull out Venom and Carnage and do Separation Anxiety or Maximum Carnage, you build up to it. You don’t make X-Men and just suddenly do Days of Future Past or Dark Phoenix Saga, you build up to them. You don’t make Godzilla, and just bust out Ghidorah. He’s probably the greatest of all the Godzilla villains, and one of the only monsters who can hold his own versus Godzilla. GOTTA save him for another movie. Too early to start busting out space monsters.
Next movie you do Monster Island, and TRULY show the audience that there are more kaiju ALIVE right now.
GOT DAMN LOGIC, STOP INTERFERING WITH MAH STUPIDITY!
Your proofs weren’t proof. Batman 3 sucked compared to Batman 2. Everybody and their mother knows this.
And Mothra will likely only fight Godzilla, LIKE IN EVERY FUCKING OTHER GODZILLA MOVIE, to show Godzilla he’s making a mistake or fucking up, or fighting the wrong battles. Then tag team time. Mothra has beam weapons as well.
Mothra looks nothing like MUTO at all. How do you confuse a giant blandly coloured WALKING monster that SOMETIMES flies, with a huge colourful moth? Mothra is well known too. Even my mother was walking into the movie saying “I hope they show Mothra, I always liked her” and she is fucking 65 years old. Mothra is name recognition. Besides, who knows how badass they could even possibly make her for this updated movie.
Yet again, nobody has ever said Mothra would be the main antagonist. But it sure as fuck ain’t gonna be Ghidorah. Monster Island represent. Godzilla will have like 4 or 5 enemies to deal with next movie.
So you make a couple of assumptions, and this is your point? They stated that MUTO and Godzilla lived long ago. Never named anything else, and as of now NOBODY knows if anything else is alive, besides Godzilla. Humanity knew of 2 other monsters (in the movie, fuck the comics) besides Godzilla, and they’re both dead now. So yeah, they do need to establish there are more Kaiju alive. All they established now is that billions of years ago Godzilla was alive with other Kaiju, when the world was different.
Go fuck yourself. Fuck your pussy mod threat garbage. Fuck your stupidity of “whaaaa I want Ghidorah now, I’m too fucking stupid to tell the difference between Mothra and a MUTO, I have the patience of a retard trying to masturbate.” Every point you’ve made has been dumb, and you’re deserving of whatever insults I feel like tossing at you.
The only way King Gidorah goes next if its Mecha-Godzilla last. The reason for this is that the second movie could involve a bunch of fights that lead to a bunch of world wide destruction. Third movie would about would be humans trying to overcome the king for their own protection. Could have some bullshit about world governments being mad and blah blah blah then 45 minutes of Godzilla vs Mecha-Godzilla action.
If you do Gidorah next, you have a huge risk of this being a Nolan Batman trilogy (where the last movie is the shitty one; well happened with the Alien franchise too).
You guys are forgetting Mothra looks gay as fuck compared to a 3 headed dragon tho.
Godzilla wasnt exactly a good guy in this movie, he was just hungry or was racist to fellow kaiju, maybe the sequel is Zilla vs Humanity, maybe step on the toes of PR a bit but mechazilla would be a great shout in that scenario
Cause were not watching the movie for its oscar winning acting performances. You wanna see Zilla destroy cities vs that crazy demon in the middle or that cute lil nigga on the bottom right? Common now.
The cute butterfly is more interesting to me than the orochi pretender. She got her own supporting cast, and goals it tries to achieve. Ghidorah was often controlled or used as a tool for the film’s true villain. This was the case even in it’s debut film.
Finally saw it.
Definitely solid, though there are a few things that are objectively "what could have been, if you did this and not what you actually depicted"
cases.
The “human perspective” would have gotten about absolutely no flak if
Spoiler
Bryan Cranston’s character had been a constant throughout the movie, he was acting the part, and it felt entirely authentic; THAT is how you react to what his character had to endure, and he did it well. Why wasn’t he in the entire movie? dafuq
and also the movie would have basically little to no detractors if
Spoiler
the Big G had any appearances or hints beyond really obscure stuff before the 45-minute/1-hour mark, while the use of tension-building techniques were DAMN GOOD(the flares near Godzilla after the tidal wave, and the high-speed free-fall cloud silhouette yoooooooooo), people do have a point when they say “Godzilla didn’t show up enough!” He really could have shown up a bit more, though he did steal the spotlight when did(meanmug reaction pics for DAYS, and all the media from those roars though).
7.5 out of 10, IMO; if they had done those two things I just mentioned more properly, 9.5 or 10 free.
What could’ve been; sequel escalation will prolly bridge the gap, though.
Also, breath of death was unfuckwithable. That scene more-or-less made the entire movie worth it, the Big G is a TOTAL pragmatist, ooooof.
2nd also, the MUTOs are high/top-tier, those are designs with excellent potential, I REALLY like the vaguely metallic look/EMP ability(that right there is actually explainable, they eat radiation, if they can output it too, that’s your EMP wavefront right there!), and their backstory, they come off as high-end
predators a la gators, or something, but crocs aren’t the tip-top of the food chain; sometime it’s anacondas, like in South America, and sometimes, it’s other gators.
A LOT can be built off/done within the canon universe of this movie; sequel could be an instant classic if Toho plays their cards right.
Personally I’d rather see Destroyah or Biollante instead of Ghidorah as much as I like him. Those two handed Big G his ass harder than Ghidorah ever did.
Though Ghidorah was mad dope in the one where Godzilla was evil and he was good.
