Similarities between Freddy vs Jason and GMK
Tell me that these two films are not alike! In GMK, the souls that possess Godzilla awaken him to remind the people of Japan of the fears that were forgotten with Godzilla's initial attack. In FVJ, Freddy posseses Jason to remind those who forgot about Freddy's existance. In GMK, at the films climax Godzilla stands above a terrified male and female couple before self destructing with his own weapon and submerging into the water. This also happens to Freddy at the end of FVJ when he stands above a terrified male and female couple before being killed by his own weapon and submerging in the water fatally wounded. There is also that scene when Mothra flies toward Godzilla with her wings on flames, and then in FVJ, the lead female character does something similar at the end of the film, running towards Freddy with two flamming wooden sticks.
Is it just me or did FVJ steal many elements from GMK???

"Steal" is the wrong word to describe that. They have many elements or plot points in common, but I'd say that's more of a coincidence than anything else.Is it just me or did FVJ steal many elements from GMK???

It could be a coincidence, but wow it is almost like matching lottery numbers.

Re: Similarities between Freddy vs Jason and GMK
Actually, any film can be conected to another one by adressing plot points and vaguely similar scenarios. Also, Freddy does not posses Jason, he merely revives him to bring about fear in Springwood, fear that will ultimately fuel his own return.

The only Godzilla movie that stole shit from other movies was FW.
But it's just a coincidence.

Re: Similarities between Freddy vs Jason and GMK
Are you saying that the similarities between Freddy vs. Jason and GMK are just a coincidence? Or that GFW stealing from other films is just a coincidence? Because, if it's the latter, I completely disagree.Shadow wrote:The only Godzilla movie that stole shit from other movies was FW.

Re: Similarities between Freddy vs Jason and GMK
^No no, you got me all wrong.
The similarities between F vs. J is just a coincidence, but FW still ripped from other movies. Shoud've made that post more clear, sorry about the confusion.

Re: Similarities between Freddy vs Jason and GMK
I saw FVJ way before I saw GMK and never noticed any similarities. There's absolutely nothing alike about the movies except the importance of souls, and that's just a common theme in literature.

1) Monster Zero steals from Earth vs. the Flying Saucers.
2) The Return of Godzilla steals from Psycho and Close Encounters.
3) Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah steals from Terminator and Aliens.
4) Godzilla vs. Mothra steals from Indiana Jones.
5) Godzilla vs. Destroyer steals from Aliens and Predator.

Re: Similarities between Freddy vs Jason and GMK
^Not reaching. Maybe it's just me who sees the similarities or maybe Im misinterpreting the two films somehow? But this is not just another case of a Godzilla film stealing elements from the one in comparison as GMK was released before FVJ. Of course the two films are two different themes but in many ways have the same concept. Just look how King Ghidorah was always a threat to humanity until GMK when the monster suddenly becomes the favorable character much like Jason in FVJ. I think I already made enough comparisons to make my point.

You know what else? They both star popular antagonists from long-running movie series.

Re: Similarities between Freddy vs Jason and GMK
This reminds me of that time there were two concurrent RPG's, one of which I was in, and both were doing Homecoming-based storylines. Apparently we "stole" their idea.
