This. It's pretty ironic that there's so much Heisei bashing yet the same people can enjoythe 70's films.Kaiser wrote:If anything, people seem to go a bit too easy on the 70s films these days. The 90s films are the new "dark age" from what I can gather.Gojira-Fan wrote:^The hate for Jet Jaguar is pretty much just an extension for the dislike of the 70's films. Godzilla vs. Megalon is the epitome of the problems the 70's films had.

Absolutely. There's a huge difference between recognizing quality work that overcomes technical limitations, and allowing technical limitations to justify sloppy work given what tools are available.Gawdziller wrote:I think a lot of what you're talking about is "context of era" and not "context of production," of which is a point in which I agree. However the quality of the 70s films vs. the 90s films is subjective, so I believe we must agree to disagree on that. I see both virtues and faults in both eras. What I am objecting to is the use of the term "excuse" to indicate a forgiving of poor quality. I'm sorry but a lacking production doesn't forgive an inferior product. Manos doesn't improve in quality just because you know it was made on a dare by a fertilizer salesman, and neither does Transformers improve because "it's a Michael Bay movie, what'd you expect?"
That's just the issue I had with the arguement as presented.
Better than the real deal honestly.JGAR4Entertainment wrote:Jet Jaguar in my opinion could be the easiest Monster to be portrayed in a suit, you could lower the weight a bit and there, perfect. Also, his design can be updated to a more badass aproach.

AND that epic grin.edgaguirus wrote:Of course it's easy to do as a suit. It's a human form, and no tail to operate by wire. As for redesign, it needs to stay colorful. The range of color and pattern on JJ is part of what makes him memorable.
I suddenly totally want to see that. Done with a sufficient sense of self-referential humor (but not too much, basically played straight but with ironic intent), it could be part of a much smarter take on something along the lines of GFW.Cimmerian Dragon wrote:Now if you replaced the Super X with Jet Jaguar in Godzilla '84, then his inherent corniness would not get a pass from me. It's all about context.
He said Final Wars. That means you have to imagine what the monster would look like in a black leather jacket and sunglasses.Varan Bon Ziller wrote:...I'm trying to imagine how spikey he'd be.JGAR4Entertainment wrote:JJ should've been in Final Wars, it could've been perfect for him, and get a badass redesign like Gigan.

I think the colorfulness fits the tone of the film.I like jet jaguar and his gimmick. I lick the head, but the body is just too damn colorful!
I dig the colorfulness. Most of the kaiju are one or two muted tones, so it's interesting to have something that's brightly-colored for oncegojira96 wrote:I think the colorfulness fits the tone of the film.I like jet jaguar and his gimmick. I lick the head, but the body is just too damn colorful!
