Wow...that's interesting even if the tone of that title doesn't really fit the film. I always assumed the simplest solution would have been to just call it "Godzilla: All Out Attack" in the same way they went with just "Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S"CrimsonBloodX wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 3:45 pmWow, I did not know that Sony was going to do that lol
I also feel like I've waited my whole life to get the following titles:
Godzilla Returns - YES we have "The Return of Godzilla" but honestly that is just a wordy version of a better title
Godzilla Reborn
Godzilla Rises
Godzilla: Evolution
Yes...they are all generic....but honestly when compared to something excessive like "Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack"...they do the job.
I also think the final 3 titles would have all been great alternate options for "Shin Godzilla"...I get that they initially picked "Godzilla: Resurgence" and then decided to change it after Independence Day: Resurgence came out....but dang, I would have loved if they just went with SOME proper English Title for the film.
I think something like "Shin Godzilla" creates a barrier. In conversation, search engine algorithms, keyword searches etc....I feel like "Shin Godzilla" specifically hinders how effectively word of mouth about the existence and awareness of that movie absolutely threw a wrench into some of its potential to make an impact here in the USA.
I mean...couldyou imagine if the OFFICIAL English title for one of the 70s films was literally "Godzilla Tai Megalon"....how much more obscure that film would be in the public consciousness?
If there is a word in your title that makes an average joe go "wait, what's it called?" or "What does that mean?" when they hear it....it isn't a great title.
Like damn....the hardcore fans don't mind any of this stuff, but the common American audiences need common American titles with some level of 'generic' to them!
