If they were looking for "kaiju experts" to react, they should have sent applications here. :lol:
This guy apparently yells at children on social media for their toku knowledge lmao. If a kid “knows too much” and he feels threatened by it, he will shame them for knowing as much at they do.

He’s a huge twat in every single way.

I figured if one of the old guard were to latch onto this sort of clickbait, reactionary mindset I guess it would be August Ragone.

He wrote a book on Eiji Tsuburaya. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/316 ... _Tsuburaya

Did some commentary for some kaiju movies too.

A few minutes in and I already hate this guy. How can one be so wrong in their views about the legendary Godzilla design? Like, its not my favorite either, but a super reptilian Godzilla makes sense as a counter to Kong. It works well within the context of what the monsterverse is going for. AND IMAGINE BEING BOTHERED THAT GODZILLA COULD DESTROY THINGS EASILY? IMAGINE BEING BOTHERED THAT ITS UNREALISTIC. How can a Godzilla fan think like that?

Outside of a few select threads I don't really browse the forum looking for new conversations to jump into and I'm not really in much of a talkative mood lately. I've been dealing with a lot of things. You'll probably see me more in the SP threads once that gets all released up in the west.

You didn't have to explain anything to me dude. I was just being a sarcastic dick lol, but thank you. I'm sorry you're going through some things and I hope you can get through it all right. I know I'm some guy on a forum but if you ever need to vent things out who better than some complete stranger on a Godzilla forum. Hope everything is fine.

August Ragone wrote a good book, and used to be a good resource, and other than recent charades is a good dude. However, a lot of his current opinions read as hating on newer stuff, as a fanboy, versus having anything constructive to really say, because the franchise is opening up and becoming easier to “enter”. I get some of the saltiness and agree with it, but a lot of it is not accepting we don’t live in the time period where anyone can easily access Godzilla.

Do you think he's frustrated that information on the franchise is easier to come by these days? That he feels all the work he put into research over the decades was wasted?

Time is never “wasted”. People can talk poorly about him, but he wrote a published book, and that’s a major accomplishment that not many can take away from him.

But I think the process is not exclusive to the Godzilla franchise, and pretty much happens to all the Japanese fan bases. Imagine all the OG anime fans (like Dragonball) who originally imported and researched stuff themselves before it became widely available. It happens, and I’m sure there’s some divide between those generations.

It’s also the movement away from the centralized individual to the fan base as a whole. The Godzilla fan base, like other fanbases now, can very easily share information and ask for help. Compare this to a bygone era when everyone was reliant on one or two people for info.

I think it’s all interesting conceptually. Speaking of which, I’ve been a bit busy in my personal life, but I’ll get off my ass and try translating and scanning some more Godzilla manga soon 8-)
