Just Realized How King of the Monsters Makes No Sense

[Space Hunter M]

after all, even trains cannot survive Angilas... or Gigantis. or whatever goji is supposed to be called in that "Dub"

He could lift up an ENTIRE train car and swing it as if it were a toy!

he BREATHES fire, EATS fire, FIRE is a part of his MAKEUP.

but we were able to stop him because the Oxygen Destroyer destroyed all the oxygen

[tymon]

^Well hey, fire can't burn without oxygen. But then again, it can't burn underwater either.

Is the edit basically Gojira with Raymond Burr's scenes added in?

"I think that's pretty obvious, only why don't you?"

in a nutshell with some other differences.

That's kind of a rude attitude for you.

[tymon]

^Especially considering that it's not just "Gojira" but with added scenes. To answer your question, not only are Burr's scenes added, but there are numerous other edits and alterations including jumps in time (example: the first scene of the American version is set right after the destruction of Tokyo, and the rest of the story is told in flash-back with Burr's narration, kind of a noir-ish set-up). It's definitely worth checking out, in fact, there are two aspects of the story that actually work better than in the Japanese version (I don't wanna spoil em for you though). But the original version is still better overall, of course...

I'll keep this spoilers so as not to ruin it for Darth.

What two things do you feel work better? I think I know one,

Spoiler:

not showing Serizawa burning his research, so his noble sacrifice has more emotional impact

, but I can't remember what the other might be off of the top of my head.

I can't really agree that

Spoiler:

not showing Serizawa burning his research improves the film. You could argue it makes his suicide a bit more of a shock, but as far as you know in the Japanese version, he's still just burning the research so he can refuse to continue it (Emiko's even with him there, if I recall correctly). To me, it's a really gut-wrenching scene, watching this man have to throw away his life's work just because it had immediate application as a weapon. It's similar to the position Oppenheimer found himself in after completing the A-Bomb as well, refusing to continue the work over moral issues, and subsequently damaging his career to the point where he could no longer be involved in projects he deserved.

[Mecha-SpaceGhidorah]

^I can certainly see that, but I can also see why

Spoiler:

not seeing him destroy his work would remove that bit of foreshadowing and make the whole more emotional

. Still curious about what worked better in your mind tymon. Do please respond when you see this.
