Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
I generally don’t find Kamata Kun to be cute, it’s supposed to be scary and disturbing how are we finding this thing cute?

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
^ I just find Kamata Kun unintentionally hilarious, rather than disturbing. He looks so fucking stupid I just cannot take him seriously.
It adds to the comedic first half of the film for me.

IDK I thought it did well in being a visually disturbing creature, some people just find weird things cute I guess.Thatguy4683 wrote: ↑Thu May 05, 2022 8:56 pm I generally don’t find Kamata Kun to be cute, it’s supposed to be scary and disturbing how are we finding this thing cute?

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
I think it's the big eyes and expression. Kamata Kun is a weird and disturbing monster, but the general appearance could be seen as silly or cute to some.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
I'd call it both. It's cute and stupid looking, but the fact that it's there anyway, crawling through Tokyo bulldozing everything in its path, gives it this disturbing, unnatural quality. It's an abomination that shouldn't be. Is it a good look for Godzilla? Of course not, but I can agree with it as a one-off experiment.
And on a related note, I have a hard time using standard male pronouns for Shin Godzilla. That unnatural quality makes 'it' feel like the only way to go.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
I definitely find Kamata-kun both cute and unsettling, as I do many strange and uncanny looking creatures that exist in the real world.
Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Not sure if this is a popular or unpopular opinion, but I won't mind seeing a movie or TV show where Mothra gets used as a bunching bag by the narrative. That damn bug has had everything handed to her on a platter for too long. I'm thinking like how the creative team behind Mortal Kombat has been treating Liu Kang for the past 2 decades.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Uh, apart from appearing in a lot of things due to popularity (Something you can easily say of King Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla as well) how has Mothra had everything "handed" to her?

Which even if true (I don't see how...dying, is going easy on someone) has only happened 2 times out of 5 appearances she has had.LegendZilla wrote: ↑Fri May 06, 2022 10:53 pmYeh, but her dying with a heroic sacrifice is still going easy on her.godjacob wrote: ↑Fri May 06, 2022 10:50 pmUh, apart from appearing in a lot of things due to popularity (Something you can easily say of King Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla as well) how has Mothra had everything "handed" to her?

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Mothra is undefeated. Death is only ever a temporary inconvenience for her, and she is always at the very least on the winning team. Her sacrifice always serves to aid her allies, whoever they may be.

Mothra is not undefeated she just wins in the end other than GMK which was victory in defeat.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Even if she doesn't live to see it, her goal is always accomplished, and her enemy's goal is always thwarted. So from a story POV, she's never definitely lost. Yeah, some of her victories are pyrrhic, but victories all the same.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
To me, everything about him screams sickly and disturbing. His rough skin, his blood-spurting gills, his big unblinking eyes and underdeveloped flippers, the fact that he doesn't roar (a touch of realism I really liked), etc.edgaguirus wrote: ↑Thu May 05, 2022 10:19 pm I think it's the big eyes and expression.

He's an equal mix of realistic animal and hideous, unnatural abomination against science. And in my and a lot of other people's opinions, he only gets better and scarier from there...

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Mothra has never lost only if you look at the stroy ilas one big fight. She always won the big battles and yes her goals are the ones that get carried about but if you watch Mothra vs Godzilla for example Godzilla won round 1.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Yeah I don't buy this argument personally. Saying Mothra wins even if she dies cause what she fought for won means "Mothra wins cause the protagonist humans/Kaiju generally win in these films" which is a weird way to call her a winner.miguelnuva wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 6:43 pmMothra has never lost only if you look at the stroy ilas one big fight.
