I don't think anyone is arguing that men and women alike sometimes see movies solely because they're attracted to one of the performers. That really has nothing to do with the post you quoted, and it doesn't make some of the sexists posts in this thread OK.Handsome Shrek wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 2:36 pmPretty sure a good handful of women didn't go watch things like Man of Steel, Aquaman, and Thor for the plot, my guyxMx wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 4:57 pm Being gay this is a tough thread to respond to.

Not Godzilla but I always thought that Susan Watson was a cutie.

Re: Favorite godzilla girls
Of all the women in Godzilla films, why is Miss Namikawa/Kumi Mizuno the most iconic?

Speaking for myself:LegendZilla wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 5:12 pm Of all the women in Godzilla films, why is Miss Namikawa the most iconic?
-The Costume: Similar to The people of Planet X in general, she has a really unique outfit. Despite the "cheesiness" the outfits of the Xilliens are really well done. They reach a mixture of both being conforming and robotic but also allow for hints of sexuality and attractiveness, especially in the female Millions. But speaking for Namikawa specifically, she has a really unique haircut, and also stands out from most of the other early Showa women.
-Role In the Story: It's a tragic story, and a really depressing one. She's originally an agent for the Xillien's and it is tragic how she falls in love with Glenn and switches sides, only to be killed. The scene where she is killed is probably one of the most depressing moments in Godzilla history.

Re: Favorite godzilla girls
If we're sticking to just the Godzilla films and ignoring anything else she did that might have endeared her to Western fans, she's basically the only recurring Godzilla series actress who could have been considered a legitimate sex symbol, i.e. an attractive woman whose roles in these movies were intended to promote her sex appeal as much as or more than display her talents as an actress.

She also had a long resume before doing her two Godzilla films.

Yuriko Hoshi might be my favorite.

Re: Favorite godzilla girls
I always liked that outfit she wore in Mothra vs. Godzilla.
Like the other women in the franchise she's definitely the core of the film.

Yes, that outfit is absolutely fantastic, and Hoshi is a really engaging presence in the movie.

What do fans think of yasuko sawaguchi in return of Godzilla
I know there is a similar post on the general thread however nobody responded to it. Don’t worry I am not heartbroken. I thought it would a similar topic on a thread where fans are more likely to respond. Anyway yasuko sawaguchi is my favorite Godzilla actress. I don’t mean to sound weird but I thought she was cute in the return of Godzilla. Does anybody think the same way? Let me know.

Re: What do fans think of yasuko sawaguchi in return of Godzilla
Listen, you're free to like whoever you find attractive. That being said, there's no reason to continually make separate threads to ask if others have they, ahem, have the same preoccupation with them as you. Consider this a verbal warning, and in the future you will receive warnings for repeatedly posting or making specific topics like this.gfan84 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 10:17 pm I know there is a similar post on the general thread however nobody responded to it.

And yes for reference I think some of the Godzilla actresses are very attractive. But we don't need to endlessly profess or stan for them do we?
