You know, it’s refreshing how Japan markets kaiju movies. The plots etc may remain a mystery but they realize a major selling point to these movies is the monsters themselves. The American Godzilla movies by contrast are always so scared to show off their kaiju before release.
If you ever start to lose faith in humanity, realize that Japan let an American monster win while giving him top billing in King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) and America returned the favor with Godzilla vs Kong in 2021. This is what world peace looks like folks.
So apparently Jordan Vogt-Roberts was at the Minus One premier last night as well! Man, I hope Yamazaki got to interact with both him and Dougherty! So cool!
One thing I like about Evolved Godzilla, is that to me, he really seems like an extension and protector of nature. I can see him resting peacefully in a field of cherry blossom trees, like some sort of ancient eastern dragon.
Watching Godzilla King of the Monsters in 4K. God I love this film. It’s probably the Godzilla film I watch the most though it’s not my “favorite”.
One thing I’d tweak if I could….it would be the G 2014 design pre nuke, which would make the Rebirth scene more impactful I think
Does anyone else prefer the 1989 Godzilla to the 1991? And with that, I’d have to say my personal favorite suit of all time is the water 1989 suit, though I like the land version as well. Both just have very natural proportions and fantastic dark coloring.
@TheGumGun
Because Americans typically make our monsters more nature based while Japan has gone more stylistic with their designs which is why the Japanese Godzilla has a mouth full of lion fangs.
While we are complaining about fans preferring one version of the MV Godzilla to the other…let me throw my hat in the ring with this match up. I prefer Gamera Rebirth to the 2015 design. They’re 95% the same but the eyes are so much friendlier and I also love the glowing effect!

@KDM_Monsters
The fandom owes you tremendous gratitude. I know I personally appreciate how you tease news without ever spoiling things and how quick you are to debunk BS fake news. Your positivity is infectious and heart-warming!
@blurayangel
Sabine is insufferable though and Ashoka is bland and personality less. The dark Jedi and the hope of seeing Anakin again are the only things keeping me going here personally
@RickDaSquirrel
See. Here you go. Proof that we, G 2014 fans, aren’t sticks in the mud. We actually like what we are seeing folks. Peace to all! Credit when it’s deserved!
I just want to give a heartfelt thank you to Japanese fans for not spoiling Minus One for worldwide audiences on Twitter. Most of us were able to go see it without having anything spoiled and that is a huge accomplishment. Thank you!

I feel like there’s only so much runway left before a hard reboot.
I have no idea what they could do next. Destroyah seems logical for a big Thanos level bad at some point. Outside of that. Just thankful for what we’ve gotten and I’ll enjoy it while it lasts.
I’m really getting excited about GxK, and I’ve deeply, deeply fallen in love with GKOTM, but there’s something special about Godzilla 2014 as both a film and creature design. There’s nothing I would change about this guy. To me, he’s perfect.
@DangervilleTeam
Because it's legit a middling movie. The effects and monster design are great. The humans and plot are about as cliche as you can get. Monster fans get good monster stuff and they're trained to not care about the human stuff as much. These scores seem right.
@RickDaSquirrel
Disagree. Harkened back to King Kong/G 54…..his “death” was pitiful, sad, up until then he’s depicted as monstrous sure, but I felt bad for him at the end personally. Just like I did with 54/84
Yeah. This is where we are and it’s annoying AF. I was one of the original 2014 fans decrying that it needed more love but it’s gotten to the point where I’m turned off of both the film and design somewhat because of the hardcore Snyder-fans esque cult…
Budget animation or not, I love the Kaiju designs and concepts in Gamera Rebirth. I wish they would have had more money at their disposal but I’m still thankful for what we got.
@cardbrobot
You need to stop doing this. Full stop. Anytime anyone disagrees with you or has something to say that you don’t like you call them a homophobe. That’s gross and unhelpful.
@RickDaSquirrel
The US military had input and it certainly diluted /altered the direction Gareth wanted to take it but it’s not propaganda. The military only makes things worse in the film. Ford expressly demonstrates that he is bomb disposal which means his role is saving people, not killing.
Really glad to see Gemstone Godzilla returning. Love this design and how they portray him. It would be awesome to see a full blown Mg 74 themed film in 2024 🙏🙏🙏
@MoonZilla4
This I agree with. Has a sense of weight that the running scene in GKOTM doesn’t. This is the first time I’ve ever been down with Godzilla running really.

@Ballszilla490
I’ve seen you say this repeatedly and then I see cherry picked screencaps of where you haven’t had the time or just can’t be bothered to reply. It’s disingenuous and disgusting for people to do that. I know you and I have had our disagreements in the past mate but ….this is

@paintmakesart
I think shipping characters…..monsters….is weird AF anyways and this just takes it to a new level. This is supposed to be escapist entertainment….
@DMan1954Gojira
Honestly, could have been considered for best foreign film at the Oscars. Perhaps that’s my inner fan boy showing but it’s legit how I feel.
@Igadevil
So, I saw the movie last night. I thought the movie was the weakest of the Shin films, and didn’t really enjoy it BUT trapped within that film are some of my favorite pieces of Rider ever! Basically anything involving the two Riders themselves I loved.

@spankzilla85
So many pearls of wisdom in this film. By so many, I mean like three, but that’s probably more than it should have or something
Does anyone else think this looks like a less angry, less twisted version of Godzilla from Minus One? 🤔
Taken from the director’s exhibit currently happening in Japan…
I gotta say, it’s a small moment in all of the hours of content we have gotten in the Monsterverse, but this felt like the definitive MV Godzilla to me. The 2019, but with 2014 weight and physics. Looks like they might have even fixed the unconnected scute lines on his neck too?
