Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
I haven't seen 'Godzilla: Singular Point' yet, and don't plan to do so until the english dub is released.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
I won't be watching until it hits Netflix. Not sure if I'll go dubbed or subbed; I guess it'll depend whether my younger brother and sister end up watching with me. Neither of them are big on subs.
Anyway, three days to go...

My original plan was to wait for the official Western Netflix release, but as more time passes, the more I grow unsure if I actually want to see this.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Why? I haven't been keeping up with news or discussion because I want to avoid spoilers. Is it getting bad reviews or something?

I really don’t know… It has just faded towards the back in my mind.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
So what you want about the other films but I'd argue the first 3 Heisei Godzilla films and Destroyah tell a nice 4 film story that is on par or even slightly better than the Heisei Gamera trilogy. There are a few loose ends in Destroyah by losing the other 3 films but those 4 are great.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
I haven't watched SP yet either, and can agree its just sort of been off my radar. That said, I am looking forward to checking it out when it arrives on Netflix this week. Modern anime REALLY isn't my bag, but I'll hopefully find at least some things to enjoy in it.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
It's been kind of on the back burner for me, too. I'm excited, but not to the extent I'd be if this were a live action movie. I guess it's probably because the last anime Godzilla 'attempt' was so lame, and then GvK really didn't do much for me, either. SP looks set up to do some absurdly cool stuff, but I can't help but be cautious.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
I literally cannot find the drive to watch Singular Point. I tried to today, but any ounce of motivation I had was squashed before I even started watching anything.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Whatever your opinion on the designs, the Monsterverse, Shin, and Singular Point have all proven the Emmerich defense of "we have to make it more realistic so it can't look like the traditional version!" is and always was a massive crock of shit.

^^^ especially since Terrestris is alleged by some to be half based on the 98 design, and while being radically different still screams 'Godzilla.'

Three different kaiju redesigned heavily based on actual paleontology and ALL OF THEM still kept core traits and personality Emmerich threw out.

It’s almost like Emmerich didn’t give a flying fuck and just had his head up his ass.
Zilla Junior from GTS still feels like Godzilla (that’s probably a spicy take, but this is the thread for those, ain’t it?) despite having almost the same exact design as G98, it’s just that unlike Emmerich and G98, GTS actually bothers putting in effort!

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Rodan? No. There's nothing about the Singular Point version that resembles the character. What they did to Rodan is way more disrespectful than ANYTHING Emmerich did to Godzilla.SoggyNoodles2016 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 26, 2021 8:18 amSingular Point in general made me write this.Major sssspielberg! wrote: ↑Sat Jun 26, 2021 8:09 am ^^^ especially since Terrestris is alleged by some to be half based on the 98 design, and while being radically different still screams 'Godzilla.'

At least Emmerich had the courtesy to have Godzilla get killed by missiles, instead of machine-gun fire. At least Emmerich had the courtesy to actually make Godzilla big.
Singular Point Rodan is like if you made the entire 1998 movie about the raptor-sized Baby Godzillas and had them represent the titular character.
How are people okay with this? Seriously? I want to know.
It it because it's Japanese and they can get away with things that American adaptions can't? Is it because it's an anime and anime fans are downright fanatical about defending the shows the like? Is it because most of Singular Point's audience isn't old enough to remember 1998?
I am seriously at a loss for words.
