I mean, as I outlined, basically every behind the scene intro has him harping praise over and over for the classic American monster films but giving Japan shit for "not understanding" and being silly, how "a man in a rubber suit was silly" and again how he was doing his own PROPER take on Godzilla.ClandestineCanine9 wrote: ↑Mon May 31, 2021 8:31 pmnow you've got me curiousSoggyNoodles2016 wrote: ↑Mon May 31, 2021 7:15 pmreading the published behind the scenes stuff, I'm actually kind of shocked at how lowkey racist his problems with Godzilla are.
Reading between the lines, he almost certainly thought Godzilla's style choices were a INTENTIONAL failure because they didn't have the right tech at worst and at best they couldn't PROPERLY make a monster film (read: they can't do the same thing I, a Western man, can so they must be backwards and wrong and I can fix jt).
I need to find some of the actual stuff, I reread it scrolling on Twitter and it kind of blew my mind...
