If GxK will have multiple monster fights that are on par with the lengthy battle in Godzilla vs. Megalon, then I want to see some kind of epic handshake between Godzilla and Kong in the end.

All I can say is that GxKK better have Jet Jaguar and its theme song or else I'm not watching.

Are they seriously arguing they’re a monstrosity twisted by science into destructive force that only continues to exist to cause pain? Without any fucking thought?

Like yeah he can be an anti-hero in the Vs. movies, but he’s a massive cunt most of the time.

Between Minus One and The Boy And The Heron (which I have similar feelings towards in terms of it being, while not the greatest, still a dang good film), that makes two times this year that Japan has floored Disney in terms of quality. Once in live-action, and another in animation. XD

Saw it. It was good, it forced the war message and it was awkward at times, but it it did a good job of expanding on it after Koichi gets shit on.

I liked the theme of “we can’t wait for the gov’t to step up” and basically every man they’re wanting to redeem themselves for their failing during the war. I liked them outright saying that Japan threw away a lot of young men with idiotic tactics and treating them as utterly replaceable. The scene of the boat guys trying to spare their young crew member was cliche, but I liked it.

Godzilla as the monster is great. It’s a rampaging beast before radiation. His presence makes the movie cheesy, but it’s a Godzilla movie. He’s a metaphor for nuclear weapons.

I disagree, its a film that utilizes its post-war japan setting pretty well, especially towards the themes of rebirth and striving to live instead of throwing yourself away to an easy death. Y'know, the true way to honor the dead is to live type shit. Or maybe I just have my blinders turned on for gojira. I ain't no expert on post-war politics, but it seems silly to me that Gojira is this half-metaphor for a nuclear powered hurricane but America or the SDF can't do shit besides shrug their shoulders and the narrative goes "lol soviets"? Get the fuck outta here.

It was a perfect remix of the original '54 film and Shin Godzilla. The emotional through-line is perfect, and I like the fact that Godzilla is being treated as an explicit embodiment of the forces of nature again. The twist I saw coming from a mile away, but it was still good.

I think it utilizes the post-war environment well, but it’s more the character’s physically saying it that gets me. The themes are apparent.
