Just curious

MemberGiganMar-09-2021 3:08 PMThis quote though, is (I'm sorry) BS:
"For just the movie itself [King of the Monsters] I would have done away with the Russell family and make it about the conflict between Serizawa and Jonah. Give them a history together. Maybe Jonah used to be in charge of the armed forces division attached to MONARCH but after seeing how MONARCH leaders like Serizawa priorities titans lives over the men lost in the line of duty he got disenfranchised with the whole thing and is working to undermine MONARCH. Basically instead of introducing new characters, make it about the characters already introduced in the previous movie."
That would never work. It would've never worked because then how the Titans were set free would be a MASSIVE PLOT HOLE and we already have enough of those in the MonsterVerse.

MemberGiganMar-09-2021 3:14 PMAnd before I tune out for the afternoon, I'd like to say: KotM is actually one of the better movies. It has a compelling factor in an otherwise godawful story, it has compelling character(s), and great battles.
It's criminally underrated, and I'd gladly put this movie on my top 10 most underrated movies of ALL TIME.
Let's hope Godzilla Vs. Kong redeems the MonsterVerse.
(and changes what OTHER people think about it)

AdminGodzillaMar-09-2021 3:29 PMsonictiger,
How is it a plot hole? Jonah's group was setting out to unleash monsters as well. All it would've taken is to write in another way for him to do it. Simple as that.
Also, isn't King of the Monsters the only Godzilla movie you've seen? Kinda makes it hard to compare to other films in the series.

I don't see where there's a plot hole though.

you need to watch the older godzilla movies, lol
So in your eyes does that retroactively elevate Godzilla 1998 as being a better Godzilla movie?
G. H. (Gman)
AdminGodzillaMar-09-2021 6:49 PMXenotaris,
Just because one movie is garbage doesn't mean another one isn't. I'll give the 1998 disaster this much, it's an intriguing movie for the first act, but it falls to pieces and becomes a tonal nightmare once the setting shifts to New York.
sonictiger,
Like I said, all it takes is rewriting how Jonah and his troops release the monsters. Plot hole fixed easily.
And although the rest of the movies may not sound as interesting to you as King of the Monsters, it's still hard to compare it to any movie you have yet to see in the series if it's the only one you have watched. There's 35 movies in total. If you call it the best and that's the only one you've seen, it doesn't give you a lot of credence.

MemberGiganMar-09-2021 6:52 PMWhat makes kotm better than 98 is that Godzilla looks like Godzilla.

AdminGodzillaMar-09-2021 6:54 PMsonictiger,
Have you seen the 1998 movie?
Xenotaris
MemberGiganMar-09-2021 7:19 PMI liked Godzilla 1998 from what I remembered back in the late 90's and early 2000's. I never saw the 1999 cartoon based on it.
Side note: I really like Godzilla1998's design, I even have a Godzilla1998 piggy bank

MemberMothra LarvaeMar-10-2021 7:48 AMI am more so oriented towards Origins and or Action. KoTM was a perfect balance between action and talking. And oh boy was it hard on the action. Loved how they kept the alien origin of Ghidorah.
That's probably why Mad Max Fury Road is gonna be my all time favorite movie. So-Much-Action, and the score was amazing.

MemberGiganMar-10-2021 8:59 AM@Jordan,
I know Gman is gonna disagree with you the balance of talking and action. I agree on this because most of the audience did not come to watch people do things, they came to watch kaiju fight

If you look at the bottom of Godzillas shoe, you can see the Nike symbol. Thus, the shoes are custom made godzilla Nikes

MemberGiganMar-10-2021 11:16 AMactually Tristar Godzilla/Godzilla98/Zilla is based off an allosaurus mixed with a raptor with an iquana's head
sonictiger
MemberGiganMar-10-2021 11:21 AMI don't like the design.
Xenotaris
MemberGiganMar-10-2021 11:32 AMI thought it was pretty neat design when it first came out on the heels of the dinosaur turning point that was Jurassic Park. It tried to update Godzilla's design to be inline with modern dinosaur depictions but sadly the story fucked itself by explaining he is a mutant iguana rather than a mutant dinosaur.
Just because they are both reptiles doesn't mean Iguanas and theropod dinosaurs are the same type of reptiles. Dinosaurs are archosaurs which have scrutes rather than overlapping scales like lepidosaurs such as snakes and lizards
sonictiger
MemberGiganMar-10-2021 11:35 AMLegendary's design is probably the best looking as it gets better with each movie.

MemberGiganMar-10-2021 11:42 AMDinosaurs are more closely related to birds and mammals than iguanas

MemberGiganMar-10-2021 11:55 AMIt’s actually a fact now that birds are a type of reptile, they are not separate

MemberGiganMar-10-2021 12:02 PMBtw, did you see the orgin of the banner in this topic?
Xenotaris
MemberGiganMar-10-2021 9:26 PMwait SarcasticGoji, Dinosaurs and Birds are more closely related to iguanas then mammals because Dinosaurs, Birds, and Iguanas are members of reptilia which are sauropsid amniotes, while mammals are descendants of synapsid amniotes
