How long until Disney try to buy Godzilla from Toho? Or buy Toho?
Toho will tell Disney to frick off.
Toho never got over the 1998 Godzilla movie. They were so fricking salty about it, that Godzilla is editorially mandated to never look bad now. Disney literally can't afford Godzilla unless they buy out Japan itself.
Toho is WAY too protective of their brand to let Disney touch it. They’re fine with the Monsterverse films, but that’s as far as they’ll go.
Whats the point? There's already legendary Godzilla
They would buy Legendary if they want western Godzilla
Godzilla vs ESG
I'm pretty satisfied with the Godzilla movies we have right now. I'd be okay with no new Godzilla. That's how it was until 2014 anyway.
Pls god no. Legendary is already fricking it up with two slop movies in a row and a blatant "content" show with forced lesbians.
Toho isn't ever going to sell to Gay Disney
What? That's like asking when Nintnedo will sell Mario to Disney.
1. Disney could never afford Godzilla
2. Toho will never sell Godzilla to anyone
If Disney couldn't buy Sony or even just one of Sony's IP's after nearly a decade of planning and corporate sabotage and espionage they're not going to be able to buy an actually successful company.
It's a sea creature on land
To eliminate the competition.
I disagree to such an extent that your opinion doesn't even register. I thought Godzilla not only moved better than I've ever seen before, but this was also the first time I find them to actually be frightening.
Because you're a fricking moron who genuinely doesn't understand how things of that size should move. I think that's why it fails to register, homosexual.
I've always thought that the Japanese government would intervene if a "big" Japanese company were ever the target of an acquisition by a foreign company.
Like if Nintendo were being targeted by say Microsoft or Apple, I doubt that the government would let it happen without a fight.
Very true. Though Japanese people are of such a culture and mindset that they would rather kamikaze themselves and their company than give it up to Americans. Especially when it's a beloved company and a point of pride for Japan and their people.
U.S. will never understand protecting their people and way of life over money because their entire life they've only ever seen themselves and everything they know be served in the name of money they'll never see.
Disney is broke moron
Disney has no money to buy anything right now
With which money?
They bought Fox qith money they didn't have and now are being force to buy Hulu.
Godzilla is pretty much Japan's Mickey Mouse. Ain't happenin.
as much as people think Japan would never do that, I think that could've had a shot...in 2001-09. Toho really underestimated the value of the IP because the movies underperformed by their standards. If Disney or some other company really threw money at them maybe they would've taken the bait.
Toho would sudoku before letting the rat anywhere near Godzilla.
We're so back, Gojibros
I watch for Minami Hamabe
Sexo
Goddamn why are jap women so hot?
🙂
>tfw she will never make it so your war is over
I am so happy for her success!
Minami Harambe is VERY cute!
Meme actress
My boner isn't a meme.
Pls tell me she's done AV
sorry my wife only takes my dick
Modest, smart budgeting + Godzilla having an active online fandom who'd happily pick up the slack for marketing via word-of-mouth + the fact that it's just a damn good movie.
OK but why did Godzilla walk like an autistic robot?
I don't agree with your interpretation but they tried to make him feel more like a god than a beast and I think they succeeded at that
Well they failed at that
>why did the primarily deep sea animal shuffle around like a walrus instead of stomp around like a therapod
He walked like a giant monster because that’s exactly what he fricking is.
It's kind of ironic how the director pointed out he specifically ignored the MC until the very end of the movie because he specifically saw that the MC didn't attack him both times they met.
I mean, it seemed like a given. This Godzilla fit the “man’s consequences” theme down to simple reactionary moments. Everything Godzilla did was either a defensive or aggressively reactionary response to something that happened to him. The problem was that OTHER people who couldn’t defend themselves had to deal with those consequences.
Protag-kun did attack Godzilla in the boat chase sequence though.
He said that the director said that Godzilla was ignoring Koichi until near the end of the movie when Koichi attacked him with the plane. Get better at reading comprehension.
> ignored the MC until the very end of the movie because he specifically saw that the MC didn't attack him both times they met.
The first time Godzilla didn't even notice him because he was hiding and the second Godzilla chased the boat he was on while the MC shot at Godzilla with an anti-aircraft gun. The initial post was wrong. Reading comprehension that you drooling cro magnon Black person
Anon..........
He shot Godzilla while on the ship and helped the others dump mines in his mouth moron
how's that ironic?
This does not look as good as you think it is lmao these same people will tell you Legendary Godzilla "doesn't move right"
You lost, Disney shill.
I still haven't seen this movie yet, but you're right, this doesn't look right. Giving me vibes from that "Always Sunset" movie, which always looked fricking awful.
It looks fine and it's enhanced by the fact that the budget is so little but yeah people are attempting to act like this is the first time they got giant monsters moving down and it's hilarious
When they removed the monsters from the real world and put them in the hollow earth bullshit realm they removed all sense of scale and turned them into basic b***h capeshit.
Are you reading any comments you reply to, how does this relate to anything I just said
Maybe one day you people will apologize to Gareth Edwards.
They will after GxK
I agree.
Godzilla basically shouldn't ever move 'fast'.
>Godzilla basically shouldn't ever move 'fast'.
I'll allow it when he's in the ocean.
I hope that the house of mouse splinters into a million pieces,you fricking dog.
His entire musculoskeletal structure mutated into something completely different in a matter of week?
The post that broke the weebs. Lmao look at all the seethe
>all the seethe
4 replies?
>why did Godzilla walk like an autistic robot?
He's just like me
because the original movie was a guy in a rubber suit
Money issue.
Did you want him to move like Legendary's Basedzilla? Shame I don't have a webm.
>He didn't watch Gojira (1954)
Baka gaijin.
Because he was, same as me, an autistic robot. I related to the big angry lizard. Skreonk.
Because he has a completely different body that he's not used to and is also roughly five times the size which he probably isn't used to either?
GMO in no way outgrossed capeshit. Keep that in mind. What GMO did right was be a low(er) budget movie with a simple premise, relatable characters, a universal theme, a genuinely uplifting message that is integrated into the form of the story, and good structure. It did all of these things with a character older than the Marvel Universe by a decade. Not the MCU, the comics MU. And it was rewarded with a highly profitable success that has persisted for longer than typical, modern theatrical runs.
It’s not just a matter of box office gross. It’s a matter of Net Profit. Godzilla Minus One had a budget of less than $15 million, minimal marketing and mainly caught on through word of mouth, and it made more than 500% of that back in the global box office.
Meanwhile Aquaman, The Marvels, and Wish all had a $200 million+ budget (most likely even more than that since Hollywood is notorious for underreporting their movie budgets) plus an extra $200 million+ for marketing. All three of them flopped.
Right.
But Cinemaphile told me Hollywood reports inflated budget numbers for bigger tax writeoffs. Which is it?
So? The fact remains more people paid to see those films. Godzilla only succeeded because it was dirt cheap
>It did all of these things with a character older than the Marvel Universe by a decade. Not the MCU, the comics MU.
well, in a narrow, technical sense yes, but mostly no.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timely_Comics
This is definitely the best Godzilla movie ever made, that's what they did right.
Disney will need to buy Toho
More people saw the marvels than godzilla minus one lol
More people also eat goyslop and take globohomosexual injections. I don't care what those people think about anything.
Doesn’t matter. The Marvels flopped.
>The Marvels Budget
$274.8 million (gross)
$219.8 million (net)
>Box office revenue
$205.6 million
On the other hand…
>Godzilla Minus One Budget

>Box office revenue

One made money, the other lost money.
The Marvels cost 275 Million before reshoots
>Marvels
Biggest bomb of all time

One of the biggest successes of the year
Americans are vile. They lost their way.
>How did Godzilla absolutely destroy capeshit this year?
Godzilla's going capeshit THIS year.
What the frick am I looking at
Visual goyslop. Ameriisraelites will never make a good Godzilla anything.
Seeing Godzilla jog like a fat dad is something.
I guess it is better than the rocket dropkick.
>like a fat dad
The irony is that in his new form his belly is gone so now he looks like a fricking abomination.
is this new
why does kong have an infinity gauntlet
why is godzilla pink
why are they running
>why are they running
>why are they running
To sell toys
They're going to beat up the big monkey who killed their parents
I still really liked the first one
Eh, I enjoyed GvK. To me, Toho’s making the “Gojira” and “Godzilla vs. Mothra” type movies, and MV is making the “Godzilla vs. Gigan” and “Godzilla vs. Megalon” type movies.
>and MV is making the “Godzilla vs. Gigan” and “Godzilla vs. Megalon” type movies.
Just lamer with more feminist and homosexual shit and no sovl.
This. I know the recent American Zillas aren't good films but I really like big dumb monster movies. They will continue to get my money as long as they are big and the right amount of dumb.
I will never pay money for hollywood shit ever again. Minus One was the first time I went to a theater since 2008.
It doesn't surprise me anymore that MO gets the amount of praise it does when the fans openly admit to barely watching any other movies.
Oh I watch all kinds of movies I just don't pay for them.
Sir you seem to me to be based beyond my previous beliefs of what a man could achieve. How can I become more like you?
1) if no one was eating it in 1850 you can't either
2) if you need a label to tell you what it is it's not food
3) master the double action only revolver trigger
>if you don't consoom Hollywood garbage then you don't watch movies!
Thanks for immediately proving his point.
>and MV is making the “Godzilla vs. Gigan” and “Godzilla vs. Megalon” type movies.
Except with Black worship and feminism and white people bad messaging.
>Legendary was too cheap to license Hedorah, Destroyah, Gigan or MechaKong so they went with OCs
I HATE IT.
The entire point of monstershitverse is for a US company to own a kaiju franchise that can compete. They tried and failed with Pacific Rim. Looks like they're on the way to failure with MV as well it's just going to take longer because they have cloaked their shit with the Godzilla license. The monkey is a boring character who can't support a franchise alone and current year diversity hires can't write good character-driven stories to save their lives. TMDWU
>The monkey is a boring character who can't support a franchise alone and current year diversity hires can't write good character-driven stories to save their lives.
I liked the KotM human storyline, it was fine.
Now remove all Toho IP from it and see how it would do.
Pacific Rim was supposed to just be a one and done movie. They tried to force a sequel without Guillermo Del Toro and it showed.
They really just gave the monkey an infinity gauntlet
Which Godzilla film should I watch next?
I have seen:
>all monsteverse films
>GMK
>Shin Godzilla
>1998 zilla
>final wars
>tokyo sos and sequel
Have you seen the original Gojira?
I did
Also I cant eatch minus one, have to wait for streaming
What the hell did you do to get banned from your local kinoplex, and does it have something to do with how concerningly often you’re getting digits? No one else seems to be noticing. WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM?
Godzilla 2000
Original and 2000, then if you want more, heisei and showa. Heisei is a 7 movies saga, and showas you can pick the ones you want. Vs mothra and the 2 mechagodzilla movies are the best ones.
Here's a guide.
>Godzilla 2000
>can be skipped
frickyamudda
I didn't do the guide or agree to it as 2000 is one of my favorite, if you can think as an autonomous human you can easely pick what you want to see using the quick description, it is fairly useful for newbies.
All those "guides" are basically useless because it's exceedingly rare to meet other Godzilla frens that will agree 100% on any ranking or "best of"/favorites list. The only path to Godzilla nirvana is to watch them all. There are no shortcuts.
I consoder etiher watching 1984 or biolante. Which one should I?
Both and start with 1984. Many love biollante but I find it very mid and unfun, i like vs king ghidorah (direct sequel to biollante) way more. 1984 is not that great but an interesting sequel of the original movie and i'm in love with the naoko girl so don't ask me for an objective opinion. So make your own.
>The only path to Godzilla nirvana is to watch them all. There are no shortcuts.
I fully agree
Not him but I would recommend the American Godzilla 1985 version of 84, it's edited much better and makes a clunky movie an exciting one. It's free on Youtube:
Biollante is great, too. Watch them both since they're connected.
Thanks anon, i'm european so I do my best to avoid the american recuts usually but I will watch this one if it's good.
It's definitely good. I re-watched the Japanese version last night and despite the visuals, I couldn't recommend it. 85 has absolute kino moments, however.
Will watch with great attention then anon, thanks again.
No problem, anon, I hope you enjoy it.
I've always known the original was considered an ultimate classic but It was weird for me to discover that Godzilla fans prefer that style over the ridiculous kaiju antics.
It's not so cut and dried by any means. Like I prefer the "serious" movies but I'd be sad if there was never a campy one with lots of versus battles and silliness ever again.
Yeah same. Even the legendary movies that many despise I enjoy them greatly, just like I enjoy vs megalon or vs gigan, but I do prefer the more serious ones too. Minus one and shin were great for that.
>Godzilla fans prefer that style over the ridiculous kaiju antics
I think you'll find that fans' preferences are all over the place.
So many bad takes in 1 image. Is this bait?
No it's just a normal response to someone else's idea of what are the good/bad Godzilla movies. Everyone has their own take. This is why the franchise is so healthy.
>slop
😐
>slop, Japan
😯
I just saw original Gojira. I liked it. What other movies would you suggest to get acquianted with before Minus One hits the home release? Prior to original Godzilla the American movies, 1998 Zilla and 2014 Godzilla were only ones I've seen. Also as a kid I liked the TV series based on 1998 version.
This list looks useful but even here you can notice disagreements about it.
If you have the option to see Godzilla Minus One in theaters, I'd highly recommend it. It's really worthwhile seeing it on the big screen. Otherwise, you'd probably enjoy Shin Godzilla if you liked the original.
Very few have the same mood/emotion as '54 and Minus One. I would suggest Godzilla 1985 for another good solo movie, but watch the American version as said here
Shin Godzilla would be another good one, and it's essentially the same type of story as Minus One only told completely differently.
If you're open to the more light-hearted Godzilla movies, watch anything by Honda in the 60s, and then GMK would be a good conclusion to that because it's both an homage to the 60's but also has the most "message" in a Godzilla movie since '54.
>No Shin rec
>No Legendary section
How old is this?
Do one with the reiwa era, legendary and anime movies if you want
Did you watch Godzilla Minus One? If not you should definitely go see it while it's still in theaters, I think it's the best movie of the last few years.
You should watch
>Mothra vs. Godzilla '64
>Ghidrah the Three-Headed Monster
>Invasion of Astro Monster
Three great Honda Godzilla movies in a row. Also follow up with Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster for an island-hopping good time.
Next ten viewings minimum should be rewatches of ‘98, until you properly understand the deep themes. After that you’re ready for All monsters attack.
Felt like the acting was exaggerated. Anime-like, even. Do the Japanese really behave like that?
Other than that it was fine. I like Shin better.
Yeah the guy would act insanely overdramatic at times, it was really anime acting mixed with soap opera pacing.
I love how it's a sequel to Oppenheimer
It shames me to see that there are no fellow heterosexuals in this thread discussing the greatest film of the franchise.
Son of Godzilla
I like Sea Monster more.
All Monsters Attack was literally my favorite when I was a kid.
Am I the only anon that was confused when manlet-Godzilla existed before the bomb? I always thought the origin was a direct result of US bombs. What would that mean symbolically, that Godzilla was a Japanese problem from the beginning? Also thought it was cool that the MC was at his lowest point in life and Godzilla kept coming back bigger and meaner because he didn’t deal with it when it was smaller, like a Jordan Peterson dragon.
It means Godzilla was a last survivor of a undiscovered prehistoric species. Perhaps he became the last survivor after the bomb killed the rest and mutated him.
Godzilla is the spirit of Japan and it's punishing them for losing their way and the war.
Godzilla was already a thing for the Odo Island people, however the nukes that certain BBQ loving country launched in 1945 angered him and he started his rampage.
I always got the impression in G '54 that Godzilla was just a legend and had no actual connection to a real creature but Minus One appears to be going away from that. I'm okay with both interpretations, I guess.
>Am I the only anon that was confused when manlet-Godzilla existed before the bomb? I always thought the origin was a direct result of US bombs.
He was, but he wasn't created out of the bomb itself like it was a big radioactive egg. Godzilla's always been a dinosaur that was mutated by the radiation released by the bombs. All Minus One did was show us "normal dinosaur Godzilla" before he got mutated.
Captain Marvel made three times as much and was a flop.
80m is a nothing burger.
15m versus 250m budget
>I can't do basic math
Black person they don't even know what a woman is so math is right out.
The Marvels "made" 0 dollars, in fact it lost more than $100M when you add in marketing costs. Godzilla Minus One profited at least $65M.
doesn't matter if it made money, captain marvel is 3x more popular than your niche crap.
cope homosexual.
Damn I forgot that more popular things are inherently better than less popular things. I guess that means that the Barbie movie is much better than Casablanca since it made more in the box office.
unironically yes, crapablanca is boring trash, barbie is at least fun
How do you Disneyshills still exist? Genuine question
Look, kaijucrap is never taking off, the best you're going to get is niche movies with lifetime box office dwarfed by the opening weekend of marvelkino. You will never have a success like $1b, stop dreaming. Heroes own the boxoffice and that's not changing, get over it. You tried and failed.
Godzilla was popular in the U.S. during the 60's and it's been popular enough to never go away, and now it's popular enough to make money in Hollywood consistently. Can only go up from here.
Disney is dead! Hell, Hollywood is dead! The only losers though are investors who you're robbing!
>marvelkino
Hahaha, frick off. There hasn't been "marvelkino" since fricking Endgame. And I say that as someone who was fully on board the MCU hype train.
>80m is a nothing burger.
You're right, 80m is in no way a success for a movie that cost 10-15m to make.
>How did Godzilla absolutely destroy capeshit this year?
By making less than every capeshit this year?
How much is 200 - 200, anon? How much is 80 - 15? The results might shock you!
You're clapping like a homosexual because it was cheap. Good for them but you get nothing from that. Aquaman 2 has had 3x as many people see it than Godzilla so far
More people would rather watch Shazam 2 than Japanese Godzilla. This is a victory for frugality in films not the Godzilla brand
>This is a victory for frugality in films not the Godzilla brand
Tell that to the 98/98 Tomatometer.
>More people would rather eat goyslop than cook healthy food.
You're not making the case you think you are. This is because you are too stupid to understand how stupid you are. Sad. Many such cases.
The only lesson here is that Godzilla made profit because it was cheap. Far less people went to see it than even the lowest of capeshit.
>More people went to see it than any other Toho Godzilla movie in history
Breddy gud.
>Far less people went to see it than even the lowest of capeshit.
It also had a far smaller distribution than even the lowest capeshit. The Marvels launched in 4,030 theaters domestically, Godzilla Minus One began with a limited run of barely 1,000 theaters and only later got expanded to 2,600.
>btw I'm totally not a capeshit shill
Well I liked both godzilla minus one and aquaman 2 so i'm happy either way, sucks to be you lmao
>Aquaman 2 has had 3x as many people see it than Godzilla so far
At the theater I work at, every showing of Godzilla is at least half full, if not close to sold out, while fricking NO ONE is coming to see Aquaman 2.
Compare the auditorium sizes.
It doesn't matter if Aquaman has bigger auditorium sizes if no one's in them.
Didn't everything other than GotG and the Spiderman cartoon lose money?
>the Nun 2 made 3 times as much
Flopzilla can't handle Taissafu
>oh shit, I got BTFO when I tried to shill capeshit, quick, mention this other completely unrelated movie!
Godzilla and capesgit are awful movies
Meanwhile The Marvels more than doubled that LMAO
>that one upset troony samegayging about "ACTUALLY MY POZZED GARBAGE MOVIE WAS MORE SUCCESSFUL!"
Imagine the piss and shit smell coming from his room.
It's just a well made film with a sincere script and direction.
That sounds simple, but in the U.S. you have this whole gatekeeping system where anyone with actual talent or ambition/inspiration is locked out of the industry and only insipid trust fund nepo babies get to make anything and don't have any talent or life experience to draw on. Due to this and the bloated budgets we have because of greedy people on every level of production you have the studios and producers having to play a far more active role in the creative process which results in projects only being greenlit if they're very by the numbers and the dialogue is self aware without being to self aware, follows a really beat by beat pattern and has a lot of quips and humor added in.
If the guys making Kong Skull Island or Gods and Monsters said they wanted to do a humanist character study/drama about a person living in the actual wreckage of a Godzilla attack and gradually turning his life around and fixing something to live for instead of a popcorn flick about buildings go boom and a dozen of the It Actors of the moment making snappy remarks every five minutes they'd be laughed out of the office.
While they made a great film and a lot can be said for it, party of it is also just that it's a breath of fresh air and rose petals in a very musty elevator typically filled with flatulence.
It made me feel. Simple as.
The worst part is that the US movies fail at the "popcorn flick about buildings go boom" aspect too.
the whole:
>"MV is just Showa fun you guise"
No. No it's not. It has none of the sovl.
Agreed, except I think GvK had some soul to it. The monsters were much more expressive compared to the previous Legendary movies, while still acting like giant monsters.
Look at that little tush.
>the estate of Eiji Tsuburaya is suing international superstar Godzilla for a sexual assault that happened 69 years ago

This is true in Japan too, but this one was made to conmemorate the 70th anniversary so they actually put people who gave a damn about the property.
Same thing happened with Shin, when they somehow managed to get Anno to work his ass. And they still cut like 50% of the shit that Anno proposed (Godzilla becoming a GOD against its wishes).
>japan doesn’t have nepotism
Lmao you’re such a pathetic weeb that gets everything he knows about Japan from anime. Most mega-conglomerates in Japan are literally family owned.
Hideaki Anno should do Shin 2 and Minus One director should do a sequel.
I'd be more interested to see a 'Shin' take on something else tbh
Really, I want to see his take on UFO
>I'd be more interested to see a 'Shin' take on something else tbh
We got that this year.
I know, and it and Shin Ultra were both quite interesting to see in their own rights, that's why I'd like to see more
How about Shin Tantei Monogatari?
And what is this?
Tantei Monogatari or “Detective Story”, a hit action crime drama from the 80s starring Yusaku Matsuda, the James Dean of Japan.
?si=sNX3sBmR5wJle7sB
Thank You!!!!!!
That could be cool but Shin Ultraman sucked
You do not have any real world basis for a "realistic" rendition of how something of that size would move, let alone how an amphibian that's spent 99.9% of it's life underwater would move on land. You have head cannon and want to be right.
>You do not have any real world basis for a "realistic" rendition of how something of that size would move
You can definitely infer you fricking autist. Do you think the empire state building would have fast movements?
The Empire state building is a building, and thus cannot move. It is not a giant living being, and since we never saw one of those we do not know how they would move.
Other anon was right, you're just autistically screeching because your headcannon was not respected and you are unable to accept that different people have differents views and ideas on how to make a giant radioactive dinosaur move.
>you fricking autist
We're reaching irony level never seen before right here.
Do Blue whales move fast?
I originally responded to a comment acting smug about the movement and I told him he was exaggerating, which he was. I think you are genuinely upset that not everybody thinks every single little thing is good in this movie. I think it really gets under your skin.
Also I greatly appreciate the switch from moment's notice where you say
>I thought Godzilla not only moved better than I've ever seen before
to
>You do not have any real world basis for a "realistic" rendition of how something of that size would move
How does this make any sense, keeping in your mind your first response was a smartass homosexual one too.
This. Comparing Godzilla to a blue whale makes no sense except for his name. And I genuinely don't care about Minus one quality, reception or anything like that once I appreciated it. It did well so there will probably be more kaiju flicks and that is enough for me.
And despite all that was said, what I put emphasis on in my answer was that different people have different ideas on such movements. I liked the way shin was just a giant statue barely looking like a living thing in its last form, truly an abomination. Or how it barely managed to move correctly in his previous ones. I liked the way heisei godzilla had to make those big silly steps to stomp around giving him this angry and mighty aura. I liked the fast yet steady movements of minus one godzilla that made him look like a vengeful creature full of rage. And I also like the stupid dances and fast punches showa throws because it's fun to watch.
It really depends on what you want to tell and to show, not what is realistic or not for something we have anyway no basis to work with, and again blue whales or buildings are not valid examples for something so different to them. Good inspirations yes, but don't try to make me believe you can predict how a giant radioactive amphibian dinosaur would realistically move, paleontologist barely have an idea on how normal dinosaurs moved in the first place.
First that was a different, Anon. Second, those aren't mutually exclusive statements. I said I thought Godzilla moved better than Is ever seen before and that your argument that it was unrealistic was silly because there's no actual basis for what's realistic so why depiction would be as likely as the other and it would all come down to personal preference (with Minus One being what I thought was best)
Also, as the other Anon said Godzilla isn't a building or a limbless mammal. They're most likely amphibian and the closest thing you could compare them to would probably be a T-Rex, though T-Rex weren't amphibian and didn't spend most of their life in the water so that wouldn't be a good comparison either.
The only thing you could make any kind of an argument for would be a bipedal alligator or crocodile which don't exist, but I would say they do move like an alligator/crocodile in that they're very fast in the water and lumber around on land while still being capable of small bursts of quick movement
I wanna see Shin Megami Tensei
>I'd be more interested to see a 'Shin' take on something else tbh
Shin Tetsuwan Atom or Shin Black Jack would be amazing.
But tecnically we already got the first one with Pluto lmao.
Personally I'd like to see:
> Shin Kikaider
> Shin Super Sentai
And maybe:
> Shin Gundam
Shin Sukeban Deka
Shin Supaidaman
?si=X4CgZsxefXfZcmBd
Shin Zeiram
basically just stacking kino on kino
Gorzilla vs King Kong will make that back in a day
Ooooo gojira kun pureasu suteppu on meeeeee
Minus One's success being weaponized for arguments is very sad and goofy. The movie was great, regardless if it did well for profits or not.
I think it's just one autist who is sperging out for some reason. Godzilla Minus One is pretty universally agreed upon to be a great movie.
Best part is you can watch it with your family and not have to worry about gay shit or the message throughout
>Shin Godzilla
I seriously thought the googly eyes were a photoshop meme...
squid -> derp lizard -> gojira with a fricked mouth
truly amazing
Are there really people who are sexually attracted to Godzilla?
That's really cute. Happy for her
Based Leon. Throw that kaiju hating prostitute out to the curb.
I wish that were me
You really don't want to go down that rabbit hole.
Godzilla bukakke parties
I thought Shin was the highest grossing Goji movie? If Minus One did better then I'm genuinely surprised.
>If Minus One did better then I'm genuinely surprised.
>tfw the movie leaves theaters near me after this week
Time for one finally showing tomorrow night fellas (my 5th one), this movie restored a bit of my faith in the future of the film industry and I hope it wins the franchise’s first Oscar.
Whether it wins an Oscar or not doesn’t matter. The Oscars are a fricking joke nowadays.
Impressive, very nice
Wonder if they will release a dub and we'll get to see it double
Even better...
Black and white re-releases are such meme shit, and shot by shot is the bare minimum of work you should put in for one to be tolerated.
I dunno I think it's cool.
It’s an homage to the original 1954 Gojira you cro magnon frickwit.
Might be cool
might be cooler to make just the parts that actually have godzilla black and white
This was, bar none, the best film I saw in 2023. I think I'm a Godzilla fan now. Where should I go from here?
Shin Godzilla. After that it's a bunch of rubber suits and crap.
>Where should I go from here?
Start at 1954 and keep going. You will find ones you like and ones you don't and your list won't be like anyone else's. There is no shortcut anon.
watch them in order and skip ones you don't like
Watch the original 1954 Gojira subbed. After that, frick it, watch them in order but know what you’re getting into. There’s some shit in there, but some that are good. None really reach the level of Minus One (arguably the original and Shin Godzilla might). But it’s a fun series overall. Just know that the majority of them are not at all serious and the human stories aren’t very good at all. Whatever you do, don’t start with Godzilla’s Revenge. Or just don’t watch it at all, honestly.
Is this the most a Jap Godzilla movie ever got in Box Office gross? All things considered, it made like 5 times the budget, pretty impressive.
Adjusted for inflation the first vs kong might have made more but I dunno man.
>How did Godzilla absolutely destroy capeshit this year?
They didnt turn Godzilla into a black woman who complains about the patriarchy.
>comics btfo by manga
>pixar btfo by mario
>mcu btfo by godzilla
Weebs can't stop winning
>Y'know what this film needed? a know it all woman who is constantly emasculating every male character and an obnoxious black homosexual sidekick
Chart for everyone asking where to start
>I want a watch a real movie
54', Shin Godzilla, Minus One, 98', 2014
>I need to put on some Power Rangers shit for my toddler
Everything else
>98
these flowcharts are always so stupid. just watch the movies in order
Godzilla Minus One is the biggest pound for pound box office hit since FNAF. I'm watching it this weekend.
Loved the prop cgi. The swimming fixed head looks great because of how practical and stupid it looks.
I'm so legitimately salty that my theater (or maybe all theaters now?) didnt give me a ticket... they just scanned a thing and that's that.
I really wanted a ticket stub from this movie. It's one of those that I'll remember having gone to when it was showing in theaters
I don’t think you white and israelite dorks should remake Japanese movies. Entertainment to you people is woke.
honest question about the budget: since it was made in japan, is the general cost of even making a movie much lower? do they have less red tape to go through, like hiring all of those people for random bullshit like certifying no animals were harmed, making sure things are in compliance for this, that, and the other thing, and all of the other random associations and shit that movie makers have to appease? does that factor in to the low budget and why american movies are generally way more expensive, making the $15 figure disingenuous? or am i totally off base?
Supposedly it was made with $15 million budget, but turns out based on the director's statement, it's less than that. As for regulations, I believe Japanese movie industry has more lax restrictions compared to Hollywood in addition to having a cheaper workforce and lower payroll for its crew and actors. Also, the director had prior experience in making CG movies with a relatively low budget so this is not his first rodeo directing SFX-focused movie.
right, but what im asking about is whether those restrictions and committees (and general payroll i guess) REALLY cost that much more in america (arguably to the tune of 60+million), so framing it as "just 15m" is disingenuous, or could it really be done in america for so little? or even in america for like 30m?
I think it could, but it won't ever be.
>or could it really be done in america for so little?
Yes.
The budget for this was 10 million.
thanks. the topic of regulations, committees, payoffs, and payroll came up in conversation recently and i didnt know if the argument held any water. like, it kind of made sense, because where does 100+m dollars even fricking GO? but at the same time, i could swear there have been decent movies with low budgets. im glad that even if production costs are generally higher, even setting 30m as a low baseline is doable. i'll be sure to bring it up with them if it comes up again in future.
I think it's doable, here's a bunch of notable low budget, SFX-focused Hollywood movies from the last 20 years:
>Cloverfield: $25 mil
>District 9: $30 mil
>Chronicle: $15 mil
>Skyline: $10-20 mil
Chronicle was fricking great and I usually hate found footage bullshit. Sucks that Max Landis is a hyperhomosexual.
lolwut
> Season is done.
> Not even 100 mil
> All that advertising
Yeah no. That there is what you call a flop. Undone by arrogance refusing an English dub. Into the trash it goes.
>everyone says the human plot and acting in Minus One were really good
>just feels average to me
Am I moronic or something? Have I just not engrossed myself in enough Japanese media to get past the cultural differences?
Compared to other human Godzilla stories? It’s a damn masterpiece.
Why is it so hard for the Japs to design a Godzilla that looks cool?
I liked minus one but honestly I think the goji design in it is mid. Ginormous feet.
I must say, Zilla design from 1998 movie is great and it's a shame that subsequent Godzilla movies never bothered to replicate the design except that one time it had a cartoon on it.
Kinda need those huge feet to distribute the ground pressure
all the other gojis disregard that too, though. And this goji was notoriously small.
