Do you at least give me credit for giving a good argument for my personal taste in handling Godzilla? I tried to not come across as petty and whiny like how I have in the past
Yeah of course. I just replying with what I feel Godzilla should be. Sorry if I came off as whiny. My personal philosophy is if it looks like Godzilla it's Godzilla, if it doesn't look like Godzilla (in its final form) but they're calling it Godzilla then it's not Godzilla. Origin wise I love it when they go crazy, just make sure it looks like him.
What do you consider too weird for Godzilla (other than not looking like how he should that is)?
That honestly is an excellent question and also hard to answer. I love a good traditional Godzilla but also love some of the wacky ones. I guess its more what I find appealing rather than what I find "too weird". AniGoji for instance is a plant, and I am completely indifferent of that fact. I don't think it adds or takes away anything from the story. That fact is just kinda there. I do like the bit about him being the final evolution of all life on Earth, that to me is cool and does fit the narrative somewhat, since he does completely take over Earth.
I honestly couldn't tell you what I'd find *too* weird. Hell Shin Godzilla is part human, since its implied Goro Maki jumped into the bay and merhed with him, and with the final shot with the 5th form. I actually like all that because it fits the narrative of Shin evolving to the most dominant organism to fight it back. The best part is it ends right before Shin's plan goes into action, leaving it so he still is "Godzilla". It's why I think Shin Godzilla SHOULD NEVER GET A SEQUEL. IT IS PERFECTION ON ITS OWN.
Guess my point is Toho shpuld stay weird, but still remaim true to the look and feel of Godzilla, which I think all their recent outings have done. The Monsterverse has a great traditional Godzilla, so I want to see Toho go into some uncharted territory. Maybe not with Godzilla himself, but at the very least with the story.
