I’m gonna give a name to this phenomena.

Revengephobia. I, as a true psychologist, recommend this term becomes common use on the forums to diagnose those who suffer from it. Funny thing is, it’s a fear the majority has, you’d be weird not to have atleast the most mild form of it.

Hell nah, that movie still sucks. And I don't care if people just likes it, it's when they try to say it's this big metaphorical grandeur of a movie, that's my problem with people.

You could not live with your own failure to appreciate Godzilla's Revenge. Where did that bring you? Back to me.

Honestly Sony's proposed title for GMK (Godzilla Must Be Killed!) is so.. hilariously awesome i kinda wish they made the English dub.

Some people not from here dude. Does everything have to come from here for someone to speak about certain issues damn? This isn't the only place for the fandom to congregate.

I wasn't questioning the validity of your complaint. I was just interested in an example or something...

Dramatic sounding title; It would certainly get people's attention.
The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

The strength of the vampire is that people will not believe in him.

Here we go, here my unpopular opinion

-Anime Trilogy was worse than G.I.N.O
-Monsterverse is the best era
- I think we should do more experimental designs like shin
- Destroyah is more iconic then King Ghidorah

Ah, my bad lol. The way it sounded was like as if I was talking about you.

Well, I ain't no snitch but there are places where GR is praised to high Hell but I think some do it just to get under the skin of those that hate it. It's not an uncommon practice lol.

I have had so many opinions on Varan over my life I can't keep track. For a while I did find venom powers overplayed in fanfic. Then I found myself a bit confused at Varan takes that were mystical and wanting more prehistoric takes out of nostalgia for the Dean Delvin books. However, learning about the production of the movie and how its in a way a stepping stone from sci-fi monsters to including more mystical ones in Toho's roster with the translucent spines and the seeming ability to conjure winds, now my preferred opinion is : Its a magic prehistoric beast and you were all fools to doubt his power! Finding out Heisei era proposed Varan being a bringer of the apocalypse clinched it.
Let Varan be a monster mage-tyrant.

Also, I loved FinalGoji as a kid.

I never understood the rat comparison. He looks nothing like a rat.

I think it is just a lazy critique to try and dismiss FinalGoji given both it and Final Wars are as polarizing as they are to the fandom.
