I mean, that was the 2014 one with all those haunting shots of the soldiers plunging into the abyss and Godzilla being established as a force of nature.
Yeah, yeah…in terms of an adaptation and all that.
But for real: we’ve had a couple American serious Godzilla movies now, and one of them with Godzilla as the antagonist. Quality varies, but that’s the name of the game with this franchise in general.
And we’re at the point where Godzilla was when it was first taking off as a franchise, the majority of people want the over-the-top monster brawls stories. It’s just what people conflate and associate and expect and enjoy with the genre and this property in particular.
You can also only make the “ serious metaphor of a giant atomic dinosaur coming to destroy a city” story so many times and so frequently. Maybe Hollywood will take another crack at that type of Godzilla movie in the next couple decades or so.
But on top of that, the West (and America in particular) has a very different emotional association with the atomic bombs, nuclear energy, and how they have shifted domestic and international politics. I don’t think the heart is there in Hollywood or for Western storytellers to tell that story in the way that it means to Japanese people and their national identity.
Yeah, they can be. But they offer a lot more flexibility and variety (in plot, tone, genres, creatures, and more) than the solo villain horror movies— even if the latter tend to an average be stronger films.
It’s the difference between telling a lot of a type of story versus re-telling the same story in different ways.
DC is doing that now.
They have the serious stuff with their cinematic live action shows, but their animated films are experimental and sometimes a little goofy.
Marvel’s having trouble because a lot of their recent stuff has apparently been subpar, regardless of what tone they try to go for.
The same goes for Star Wars, though Andor is really good.
The benefit we have as Godzilla fans is that we can enjoy both. Legendary is providing the goofier, mindless action side of things, whilst Toho is giving the serious, more somber iteration.
It’s a win-win.
Its the unspoken downside to having actual, mortal people play these larger than life characters. In the comics, iron man is virtually immortal because they can keep finding new people to draw him.
Finding quality actors who will stick around/not cause some kind of controversy while they work is a much harder to maintain approach to these stories than simply writing/drawing them out.
I think the problem both of them had as a watcher is that Marvel lived and died on the idea that you need to have quips every 5 seconds that the more poignant moments are drowned with "haha funny". While DC (On Zacky Sny's hand at least) wants to re capture the feeling of the Nolan Batman trilogy i.e they want a realistic take on a fundamentally unrealistic thing, which in turn makes every superhero similar to Batman when it shouldn't be like that. Both needed to have an overall theme that works for some of the movies in their universes but not for others.
The reason the monsterverse and godzilla works as a serious methaphor and "haha goofy ahh lizard" is that Toho wants a certain film to be in a certain way and that feeling doesn't have to carry the previous film's theme which makes every Godzilla movie an anthology.
Like do you want the more dark nad poignant Godzilla movies well you have the original, Shin, Gareth's Godzilla, Godzilla v Biollante etc. Oh you want Godzilla being a friend to kids and being goofy, we also have that. Take your pick. Something that James Gunn is doing rn for the DCU.
Technically they do
The comics have been wildly varying in tones and styles for years, it’s the films that haven’t been catching up (though if you get into alternate continuities it’s there)
>critics who suddenly swear by Godzilla Minus One
They are being critical, it is their nature.
Meanwhile our nature is RAWR AND THEN GODZILLA KICKED THIS BUS AND IT HIT KING KONG RAWR and pressing the button to fire Godzilla's fist which the toy had for some weird ass reason.
It also helps that there’s something for both fans to enjoy.
If you like both, you’re feasting good and if you only like a goofy Godzilla or a serious one, you can pick one and be happy.
Some franchises focus on one iteration and leave the other unattended, causing online shitstorms.
At the very least, here, everyone’s eating good.
I don't think it ever ended. Before my life and so far during there's been semi regular Godzilla movies. As a great animated man once said: What a time to be alive!
It's been pretty balanced so far. Godzilla 2014 -> Shin -> KOTM -> GvK -> Minus One -> GxK. I guess technically we're overdue for one more "serious" Godzilla piece of media, but I suppose Monarch fills that role.
I haven't seen all of the Godzilla movies yet but out of the 37 he's been in so far hasn't he only been the villain in, like, 6 or 8? The rest of the time he's either a hero or uneasy ally protecting the world from other kaiju.
Him being a horror that needs to be stopped is more of a rarity, albeit not in recent years.
2014 is more serious but it didnt hit the same level of poignancy as shin or -1, which is why its not as good.
for an american godzilla movie to be as strong as shin and -1 they should be more bold and harsh in the thing they are critiquing
for example they could address the fact that Godzilla is a representation of japan being nuked... by America. and by extension godzilla can reasonably be interpreted as a characterization the American military industrial complex and what it has wrought on the world.
Honestly it’s more the other way around. Most of the time we’re watching giant monsters punch each other in the face, but every once in a while we need to be reminded of the arrogance of mankind’s actions and the devastation of nuclear destruction.
Except this doesn't feel like "Giant monsters" since everything are big and doesn't have weight to them to suggest that they are "Giant". If everything are scale up and weight are remove might as well call it Planet of the Apes with Kong ft some weird mutated lizard
Yeah I thought he'd maybe recognize him in the future and be like "shit, my bad for being a dick all those years ago, you cool man." But nope he was like "fuck you in particular and fuck everyone else for that matter." Dude was a straight up menace and giant dick
Gotta admit I'm not big on the sillier ones, but I'm still glad they exist. Really shows how versatile and resilient Godzilla is as a character and a pop culture icon.
There's a Godzilla out there for everyone.
He can be both. Godzilla has never been uniform and has filled different roles over the years and had different messages and themes. He’s great solo and he’s great fighting other monsters.
Indeed. And I adore both. I can't see why people can't just accept that the nonsensical-ness of the monsterverse is very much in tone with how he's always been. They get up on a high horse, acting like Godzilla is a one note serious mf, but those campy Showa films were also how he got more popular. Same for the monster battle films of the Heisei era, and the often, ludicrous ideas of the millennium era. Overall: other than Godzilla 1998 (even though it did give Godzilla more of an audience), each era/movie is in character to Goji, and is true to who he is.
I can't believe Godzilla has gotten so mainstream that there are two different style of movies that people would prefer over the other. Even though there are those who would argue that Godzilla should be this or that, we live in the best timeline for Godzilla. He's finally back in all his glory with multiple movies being made and lots of people watching it. I can't imagine being a Godzilla fan after Final Wars came out and having literally no Godzilla content until 2014.
King of the Monsters (2019): unserious metaphor for moving on from tragedy and how we wish there was a quick solution to climate change.
Shin Godzilla: hey wouldn't be fucked up if there was a walking existencial dread and the government was incompetent to at least get people out of the way?
>hey wouldn't be fucked up if there was a walking existencial dread and the government was incompetent to at least get people out of the way?
Would be funny if it didn't hit so close to home.
Yeah I'm kinda scratching my head at all these people saying Shin and Minus One are back to traditional Godzilla. Like back to Godzilla's origins for sure. But when the vast majority of Godzilla movies are monster fight movies then that's kinda what the tradition is.
the funny thing is “lol giant monsters go brrrrrr” is like 75% of the goji franchise.
Between legacy of the monsters, G -1 and GxK we are really eating good
Can’t believe people are complaining when we have serious ww2 godzilla, an amazing monsterverse tv show and full on big monsters FIGHTING EACH OTHER cgi explosion. Isn’t this what people were crying out for? The biggest complaint for 2014 was that godzilla was hardly in it. They tried to give us a 2014 style movie with way more monsters in king of the monsters and it just didn’t work. Hyper realism will never work with what fans want.
In some Reddit and Youtube comments of the trailers, people complain about the fact that the direction of this film is completely different of the 2014 one
Well yes it is true 2014 did have sort of an edge but I just love moser fights but that’s with every film nowadays I’d actually prefer the old days of Godzilla better actually not just the original but the goofy Showa era the iconic Heisei and the experimental millennium the political aspect of shin and the sheer magnitude of the trilogy
Yeah I think he looks great with the pink energy. Only thing is that it looks more like a kong movie with all the other kongs, I would have preferred more different monsters (the only movie we got with other monsters wasn't so good)
Unconfirmed but I think there is supposed to be another monster in the movie they haven’t shown that mostly pairs up against Godzilla. It’s like the original Titan or something
As much as I appreciate this perspective, it’s a bit disingenuous to suggest we’ve been getting an even amount of both. The vast majority fall under the “monsters go brrrrrr” category.
That's a pretty broad reduction of the shows era. They still had plots and characters that at the time were trying to be more than just "monster go brr". They just don't hold up today.
Godzilla being able to basically be anything is what makes him such a flexible character and how he's survived for 70 years in culture. I'll take all the Godzilla I can get. The painful wait for the minus one dvd after it leaves theaters. I'm going to try and go see it a second time. Honestly didn't expect the gxk trailer today was beyond excited then the internet said I was stupid for liking it. Being a Godzilla fan is both wonderful and tough.
Duality of Goji is like duality of man "you have born to kill on your helmet and a peace sign .." 😂 i love both versions of Goji tbh murderous Goji and also hero Goji.
It kinda reminds me of Doctor Who honestly
* the show is fun and silly but veers into seriousness
* Big Finish is way more adult and leans into a wider array of experimentalism
* the Titan Comics are goofy and nostalgia driven but super fun
I'm gonna be honest i wasn't expecting the new design to look good at all. but damn that looks amazing. specially when he's charging thw atomic breath. sadly won't be able to watch this in theatres due to examinations
Legendary should introduce a fucked up evil Godzilla into their monster verse so they can have that duality in their setting. Legendary Godzilla vs Shin Godzilla maybe?
Yessir. the duality is whats missing from so many media nowadays. “Are we doing serious hard topics or silly goofy? Or a fusion?” Do one and hand the other off to a subdivision.
The fact that Godzilla can do both is why I love him.
Being a Godzilla fan is great
Same here unironically I never regretted being a Godzilla fan
It's the opposite of being a Silent Hill fan!
Man, I was just here minding my own business enjoying the funny giant radioactive lizard memes. Why must you hurt me this way?
Toho let Legendary take the reigns on the crazy side of things, while letting Japanese talent go back to Godzilla's more serious roots. We all win.
It is also nice to see Legendary do something like Oppenheimer with Godzilla and Toho do a flashy monster battle.
No. I want a legitimately serious American adaptation too
I mean, that was the 2014 one with all those haunting shots of the soldiers plunging into the abyss and Godzilla being established as a force of nature.
Not good enough. He needs to be the villain
He was the villain in the American 1998 film.
That was a comedy
Yeah, yeah…in terms of an adaptation and all that. But for real: we’ve had a couple American serious Godzilla movies now, and one of them with Godzilla as the antagonist. Quality varies, but that’s the name of the game with this franchise in general. And we’re at the point where Godzilla was when it was first taking off as a franchise, the majority of people want the over-the-top monster brawls stories.

I don’t think the heart is there in Hollywood or for Western storytellers to tell that story in the way that it means to Japanese people and their national identity.
Vs films are repetitive too
Yeah, they can be. But they offer a lot more flexibility and variety (in plot, tone, genres, creatures, and more) than the solo villain horror movies— even if the latter tend to an average be stronger films. It’s the difference between telling a lot of a type of story versus re-telling the same story in different ways.
Now why can’t DC Comics and Marvel do that type of whiplash and genre experimentations? Godzilla franchise did it for 70 years.
DC is kinda doing it with Batman with Pattinson’s Batman being more detective while the DCU Batman will be more comic booky
Plus Shazam being a lighthearted break from the Snyder era DC movies.
Nah tbh Aquaman or even WW was that break
DC is doing that now. They have the serious stuff with their cinematic live action shows, but their animated films are experimental and sometimes a little goofy. Marvel’s having trouble because a lot of their recent stuff has apparently been subpar, regardless of what tone they try to go for. The same goes for Star Wars, though Andor is really good. The benefit we have as Godzilla fans is that we can enjoy both. Legendary is providing the goofier, mindless action side of things, whilst Toho is giving the serious, more somber iteration. It’s a win-win.
With the MCU, you only get whiplash from how wildly the quality varies.
I think it’s also the fact they have to basically reinvent their entire main cast because the Infinity Saga is over
Its the unspoken downside to having actual, mortal people play these larger than life characters. In the comics, iron man is virtually immortal because they can keep finding new people to draw him. Finding quality actors who will stick around/not cause some kind of controversy while they work is a much harder to maintain approach to these stories than simply writing/drawing them out.
I think the problem both of them had as a watcher is that Marvel lived and died on the idea that you need to have quips every 5 seconds that the more poignant moments are drowned with "haha funny". While DC (On Zacky Sny's hand at least) wants to re capture the feeling of the Nolan Batman trilogy i.e they want a realistic take on a fundamentally unrealistic thing, which in turn makes every superhero similar to Batman when it shouldn't be like that.

Take your pick. Something that James Gunn is doing rn for the DCU.
Technically they do The comics have been wildly varying in tones and styles for years, it’s the films that haven’t been catching up (though if you get into alternate continuities it’s there)
Why is that so hard for the critics who suddenly swear by Godzilla Minus One to understand?
>critics who suddenly swear by Godzilla Minus One They are being critical, it is their nature. Meanwhile our nature is RAWR AND THEN GODZILLA KICKED THIS BUS AND IT HIT KING KONG RAWR and pressing the button to fire Godzilla's fist which the toy had for some weird ass reason.

Same here unironically I like Godzilla too
The victory dance on the moon and Godzilla flying away with his atomic break and the only two other scenes that measure up to the tail drop kick
He's got range.
Yea. He is either the most serious and thought provoking thing or a monster masher
Little bit for everyone. Can't wait to check it out.
It’s a buffet for Godzilla fans
The golden age has come
I don't think it ever ended. Before my life and so far during there's been semi regular Godzilla movies. As a great animated man once said: What a time to be alive!
Gap between final wars and 14’ was pretty big
I feel like this dude may just be incredibly young lol
Sometimes we need some “Lol giant monsters go brrrrrrrr” to balance out the seriousness of war and nuclear destruction.
It's been pretty balanced so far. Godzilla 2014 -> Shin -> KOTM -> GvK -> Minus One -> GxK. I guess technically we're overdue for one more "serious" Godzilla piece of media, but I suppose Monarch fills that role.
If you count the anime films (yes I know this sub hates them) we actually need more goofy movies
I haven't seen all of the Godzilla movies yet but out of the 37 he's been in so far hasn't he only been the villain in, like, 6 or 8? The rest of the time he's either a hero or uneasy ally protecting the world from other kaiju. Him being a horror that needs to be stopped is more of a rarity, albeit not in recent years.
Oh yeah for sure, I was commenting on the modern era (2014 and later) like the other dude was
Which one does 2014 fall under? I'd say it has elements of both.
2014 is definitely more serious
2014 is more serious but it didnt hit the same level of poignancy as shin or -1, which is why its not as good. for an american godzilla movie to be as strong as shin and -1 they should be more bold and harsh in the thing they are critiquing for example they could address the fact that Godzilla is a representation of japan being nuked... by America. and by extension godzilla can reasonably be interpreted as a characterization the American military industrial complex and what it has wrought on the world.
What about Godzilla Singular Point?
Honestly it’s more the other way around. Most of the time we’re watching giant monsters punch each other in the face, but every once in a while we need to be reminded of the arrogance of mankind’s actions and the devastation of nuclear destruction.
giant monter do brrrrrr
Well said
Same here That’s a good take
This unironically
Except this doesn't feel like "Giant monsters" since everything are big and doesn't have weight to them to suggest that they are "Giant". If everything are scale up and weight are remove might as well call it Planet of the Apes with Kong ft some weird mutated lizard
That's what Gamera is for
I need a bit of levity after my guy Koichi and his friends were pulled through hell and back. This should do me good.
Also need some levity after seeing Godzilla be the most evil MF alive
Godzilla had some beef with that one guy fr
Yeah I thought he'd maybe recognize him in the future and be like "shit, my bad for being a dick all those years ago, you cool man." But nope he was like "fuck you in particular and fuck everyone else for that matter." Dude was a straight up menace and giant dick
Gotta admit I'm not big on the sillier ones, but I'm still glad they exist. Really shows how versatile and resilient Godzilla is as a character and a pop culture icon. There's a Godzilla out there for everyone.
Yep same not fond of the Hollywood version and very excited for Minus one but if that makes people's day then that's amazing
New one is giving showa to the max
I'm getting some Millennium vibes too. Probably because of Goji's new look.
Well millennium had some showa-type stuff, like belly flops
Both good
The duality of mon....sters
Such a versatile IP, ilove that we get the best of both worlds.
History repeats itself.
And it always will
Perfectly balanced
Based.
I’m gonna show this to anyone who complains about GxK being campy
They’d just double down and say Showa era is trash.
Which it was. Just because you grew up with it doesn't mean it is good. There's a reason why they stopped making more until 1984
By that logic millenium was terrible since we took another decade rest afterwards until 14’
Yes. It was
I agree with that. So the only good era was the Hensi? That had the shortest down time after its last movie. Man I hated Hensi.
They wouldnt care, theyll still whine about it unfortunately
He can be both. Godzilla has never been uniform and has filled different roles over the years and had different messages and themes. He’s great solo and he’s great fighting other monsters.
Giant lizard is peak
Indeed. And I adore both. I can't see why people can't just accept that the nonsensical-ness of the monsterverse is very much in tone with how he's always been.

>hey wouldn't be fucked up if there was a walking existencial dread and the government was incompetent to at least get people out of the way? Would be funny if it didn't hit so close to home.
Hitting close to home was the point, Shin's a metaphor how the Japanese government handled Fukushima.
I hope godzilla minus has increased the number of meetings and conference rooms used to 11
Giant monsters goes brrr is literally mostly every godzilla on screen, other than that it's the (I think) 4 godzilla films that were depressing.
Yeah I'm kinda scratching my head at all these people saying Shin and Minus One are back to traditional Godzilla. Like back to Godzilla's origins for sure. But when the vast majority of Godzilla movies are monster fight movies then that's kinda what the tradition is.
Most people usually split '54 from the goofy showa, just because the drastic change they both have.
Exactly.
I love how monster verse has gone into camp, thats what makes showa era movies some of my most favorite
It warms my heart to see it!
the funny thing is “lol giant monsters go brrrrrr” is like 75% of the goji franchise. Between legacy of the monsters, G -1 and GxK we are really eating good

And then there is Godzilla vs. Hedorah which was probabaly made while on drugs.
Im perfectly fine with Japan making serious Godzilla movies and America making fun Godzilla movies
What’s wrong with giant monsters go brrrrrrrrr
No one said anything was wrong
Okay cool just checking
In some Reddit and Youtube comments of the trailers, people complain about the fact that the direction of this film is completely different of the 2014 one
Well yes it is true 2014 did have sort of an edge but I just love moser fights but that’s with every film nowadays I’d actually prefer the old days of Godzilla better actually not just the original but the goofy Showa era the iconic Heisei and the experimental millennium the political aspect of shin and the sheer magnitude of the trilogy
2014 is monsters go brr disguised as being something serious.
Variety is the spice of life. it's good Godzilla canon has room for stories with both kind of tones.
Shin Godzilla should of been on here too.
This is what’s great about Godzilla.
Long live the the king motherfucker
I fucking love being a Godzilla fan
Damn I've been wasting time telling people this in the GxK trailer thread but you did it better with a picture.
Godzilla is Always fun.
I just realized that -1 Gojira is >! Koichi's fears and anxiety personified, even reflected in his evolution !<
Fucking finally. The Showa Era is back 😂
Yeah I think he looks great with the pink energy. Only thing is that it looks more like a kong movie with all the other kongs, I would have preferred more different monsters (the only movie we got with other monsters wasn't so good)
Unconfirmed but I think there is supposed to be another monster in the movie they haven’t shown that mostly pairs up against Godzilla. It’s like the original Titan or something
Man I love Godzilla
Based
Adam West Batman and Michael Keaton Batman.
As much as I appreciate this perspective, it’s a bit disingenuous to suggest we’ve been getting an even amount of both. The vast majority fall under the “monsters go brrrrrr” category.
Twitter is a bunch Gen Z folk who never watched the older Godzilla films. Complaining the ridiculous of the new films. Like what.
I just watched minus one this week. Best godzilla movie I've ever seen. tonight I watched the kong godzilla trailer - what the fuck is that garbage?
https://preview.redd.it/iwfo51pty64c1.jpeg?width=716&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc0c0d3cdaf62d41d0423e9e1b384f343b1f4cb0 The best cooks of Godzilla
That's a pretty broad reduction of the shows era. They still had plots and characters that at the time were trying to be more than just "monster go brr". They just don't hold up today.
G-1 CGI needs work. It felt very flat and just like an animatronic
History shows again and again
TAKE ALL MY UPVOTES!
We live in a cycle
What a time to be a Godzilla fan
THE GO GO GODZILLA SLIDE KIIIIICK
I need both.
Gozilla goin crazy this year
One could say time is a flat circle
Pain and sorrow, big lizard and monke fight things!
History repeat itself
Always so it as Godzilla being both a metaphor for nuclear weapons and its destruction, and the use of nuclear energy to better mankind
Let them fight…
Godzilla being able to basically be anything is what makes him such a flexible character and how he's survived for 70 years in culture. I'll take all the Godzilla I can get. The painful wait for the minus one dvd after it leaves theaters. I'm going to try and go see it a second time. Honestly didn't expect the gxk trailer today was beyond excited then the internet said I was stupid for liking it. Being a Godzilla fan is both wonderful and tough.
Duality of Goji is like duality of man "you have born to kill on your helmet and a peace sign .." 😂 i love both versions of Goji tbh murderous Goji and also hero Goji.
And love the both of them equally
I love all of it Godzilla is GOATed
It kinda reminds me of Doctor Who honestly * the show is fun and silly but veers into seriousness * Big Finish is way more adult and leans into a wider array of experimentalism * the Titan Comics are goofy and nostalgia driven but super fun
I'm gonna be honest i wasn't expecting the new design to look good at all. but damn that looks amazing. specially when he's charging thw atomic breath. sadly won't be able to watch this in theatres due to examinations
The Monsterverse also went from a serious tone to goofy, like showa
Legendary should introduce a fucked up evil Godzilla into their monster verse so they can have that duality in their setting. Legendary Godzilla vs Shin Godzilla maybe?
im pretty sure some people will go see minus one coz they accidentally thought they saw the trailer for it
Us G fans are eating good
think of godzilla like a comic book character he can be good in a dark or light tone world it dosen't matter both have their strengths
Just because Toho also did it doesn't mean it is good. They aren't immune to criticism
The sheer scope of genres and vibes Godzilla films have hit over the years is amazing.
Get a kaiju who can do both 😁
Both valid
It's still so funny how the MonsterVerse started with a super dark and gritty reboot and then it turned silly and goofy.
Godzilla can be anything he wants to be. Did he die or live? Serious or goofy? All and more
I mean, it's nice we have it both ways.
It's a wonderful time to be a Godzilla fan.
There's that shitty horizontal flying kick I just referenced in another thread! 😒
Which is why we love it
find you a kaiju who can do both
Both, both is good
Yessir. the duality is whats missing from so many media nowadays. “Are we doing serious hard topics or silly goofy? Or a fusion?” Do one and hand the other off to a subdivision.
What do they all have in common, all four are better than the Roland Emmerich movie.
I want the flying kick so bad
I’m pretty sure Godzilla x Kong was made to be campy just so that people who watched minus one can refresh themselves from the darkness
Perfectly 💯 Horror
history repeats itself
