Even Frye knew his performance and the character he played was bad. If he can admit it, why can't anyone else? Lol
He's enjoyable in a "holy poop I can't believe they hired a man with literally no acting skills" sort of way. I will absolutely not argue with that. If you find him entertaining more power to you. But "good" the performance and the character certainly are not.
And come on, MM, drop the shtick. I know you don't believe that Serizawa, the Shobijin, the Controller of Planet X and Glenn are not memorable characters. A handful of them have come iconic on their own. I know you like to say really out there things (especially if you're stoned) but what kind of a preductive discussion can be had if you're going to openinly poop on every human character in every Godzilla movie and insist that Gordon is BETTER than all of them?
I know you enjoy being "that guy" and having your fun but it's not fun to have a conversation if one person's MO is to talk nonsense.
I'm actually not being "that guy" right now though, so...
Yes, the Controller of X is memorable, so is Glenn if only because of one cheesy line and the fact he's played by Nick Adams and he's fuckin' an alien. I also already agreed with the Shobojin. Do I find Mr. Taco "memorable?" No. I remember him because I've seen the movie 1000 times since I was born. The same goes for almost every other character mentioned here, like GMK's cast and the female pilots from GXM and GXMG. Just like I remember every other character too. But they're not memorable because they're actually unique and well written and well polished characters. Its simply because I've seen them 1000 times over.
Now if you want, I can switch gears and become "that guy" if you like.
