It's nonsensical and so impossibly huge that you can't really make a human story out of the scenario. It would basically be the same as any asteroid movie.
exactly this, at this scale it's not about even being a 'monster' anymore it's about an existential threat to the world, which is represented much more straightforwardly by a giant rock
>so impossibly huge that you can't really make a human story out of the scenario
So? Why does everything have to be a fricking "human story"? I'm fricking beyond tired of "human interest" shit ruining good sci fi.
>isn't from a human or humanoid perspective.
That's fine, you need the scale, you don't need a fricking hour showing me his/her everyday life so I "care about the character and what happens to them" and then make the whole plot revolve around some minor fricking personal thing of theirs, like ruining Ad Astra at the end.

He didn't strawman you, that's just fact. All media suffers in terms of viewership if people aren't seeing it from a human perspective. It's why everything has to be human.

It could be done like something similar to melancholia, just watching the unstoppable thing approach earth, and maybe smaller monsters orbiting the thing and falling to earth first.
I could picture a scene were billionaires are trying to escape to mars or something and the thing hunting them and eating the whole ship.
The ending of that book fricked me up so bad for some reason.
Something about being trapped in a tiny little emergency shelter flung into the cosmos that somehow survived the earth exploding, while either the air, battery power, or food slowly runs out and you're driven mad knowing there's zero hope really fricked with my head.
I feel like Star Wars should touch on cosmic horror more often tbh but then again, if they did that they'd probably end up overdoing it or coming up with something lame.
Also Solo is honestly underrated. It would be better remembered if it hadn't come out so soon after The Last Jedi, and also if it didn't have those few really stupid bits like the name scene or the bizarre and random Darth Maul cameo
Just sick the damn human in there for the audience self insert and shut the frick up about them, the less said about them the better, focus on what the frick I bought the ticket for, which isn't fricking "Daddy issues, but IN SPAAAACE"
>he can't just watch a giant space dragon thing eat planets and extinguish species without needing to focus on the mundane lives of characters that are going to die anyway for most of its runtime
>if it's not about PEOPLE what's the fricking point?
Your kind is the reason the aliens in the SW PT speak fricking accented english in a room with only other members of their own species in it
Here's a thought: instead of needing to make me like the characters, if you're going to waste a fricking hour+ on them and make the whole plot about them and "how their lives are devastatingly affected", make me hate them instead, so it's a relief when they get chomped
You are lazy.
You need to watch Chinese movies
Not OP, but I do. Which one is like this?
journey to the west the newest one even though its CGI frickfest but there is a battle where sun wukong fight again buddha finger
>where sun wukong fight again buddha finger
Sounds like they ripped that from Asura's Wrath.
They actually totally did, if you go and find the scene on YouTube it's like 1:1
>the newest one
I think you're talking about the Stephen Chow one, but that's from 2013. They easily have made 20 since then.
No he fricking doesn't.
i go to Wuhan
Looks kinda like The Darkness from the comics and video games also called The Darkness.
>The Darkness is a space leviathan
Shitweasels from Dreamcatcher.
8 year old me was scared of sitting on the toilet for months

Good luck making a giant space dragon movie that isn't from a human or humanoid perspective.

Because no one but Autists who can't empathize to begin with, wants to see a movie about a giant space dragon eating planets.
>if you don't want to bother needing to "empathize" in escapist sci fi, you CAN'T empathize
Nice strawman

sounds good
They just need to make a movie version of Hellstar Remina, it could totally work if modern movies weren't so pozzed.

While not this specific design, Pacific Rim does have a similar sinister atmosphere and scale.
Man, get over it. That movie flopped. Let it go.
I can't believe I'm giving this movie a break, but Solo genuinely does have a pretty good scene that's just like that pic
The only time Star Wars has ever touched on eldritch/cosmic horror and it was just like a quick 30 second throwaway snippet of action

OVER
THE WINDS
THEY DWELL
Maybe the Space Monsters from Gunbuster
Always loved the line delivery here.
?t=407

>le giant monster
None of this shit is scary or relatable
It takes one second to bite the planet in half, if you're a person it doesn't even see you, you're a microscopic spec
It's like a natural disaster but more moronic.
>relatable
>I need muh representasahun
>relatable
You're making a movie, you moron
Oh look at that giant monster the size of a planet moving at a molasses pace because of speed of light limitations
We all die at once when it comes in a week or it doesn't affect us because it's too big to matter or be tied to any reliable human experience
>he can't just watch a giant space dragon thing eat planets and extinguish species without needing to focus on the mundane lives of characters that are going to die anyway for most of its runtime
Your movie ends in 2 seconds moron.
>if it's not about PEOPLE what's the fricking point?
Your kind is the reason the aliens in the SW PT speak fricking accented english in a room with only other members of their own species in it
Because it's boring and gay

Why not just make it an alien nature documentary about the life cycles of this thing? Spoken in an alien language with subtitles?
Because some idiots would talk about how it is physically impossible or some shit like that.
Gods of Egypt had a very cool earth devouring monster
let me guess, you need more...
What the frick is going on here?
Its what happens when you give Ridley Scott the go ahead to make a tv show and don't give him any limitations
never seen a baby trying to suckle?
wtf is wrong with you?
weirdo...
Why is it always squids?
That one doesn't look like a squid, at all.
