Talkback Thread: Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964)

Ummmm okaaay.

So they make noises at each other. All monsters do that. But I wouldn't say, in the context of this film, that they're having a conversation. There's no way the people making this movie intended that.

Then as I said we can ignore it.

I've seen Mothra's chirp as a threat to stay away from her egg, and Godzilla's response as saying he's not intimidated.

Unless we're not back tracking that we know the kaiju talk from Ghidorah ignore the first part but Godzilla and Mothra say something before they start fighting and Godzilla wants to do something to the egg.

You're talking a movie that happened after the fact, with a more comical tone and a scene meant to be played for laughs. That's quite the stretch.

Now if you wanna talk Godzilla and Anguirus's back and fourth in Final Wars, that's a different story...

You see in the quote where I day if you think it's OK to back track and if you don't you don't.

There certainly seems to be some communication in the second fight. The twin caterpillars chirp to each other as they approach Godzilla, as if planning their strategy. Godzilla communicates by showing off his atomic ray as a way to intimidate them. Just my take, though.

[Kagutaba]

In that scene, yeah.
