Not in Wingard's movies. I must say it's rare to see someone denying that Wingard pushed Godzilla into background in both of his films. I mean that's why he promised he's going to do better in his third movie even before Godzilla x Kong came out or on the same day. This isn't normal this could only happen if he knew what people are saying.

Guys. It's simple.
Here's the schizo cheat book.
If someone just randomly brings up Gamera, Rebirth or other non canon Gamera media, while shit talking Godzilla or his fandom, it's the gamera autist.
If someone brings up just Gamera Rebirth, it's the Gamerafag
If someone starts raging and calling everything an anti and chimps out, it's Gamerager.
If it's someone typing in all caps and usually with a kermit picture, it's the Kermitschizo who was originally the OG gamerager.
>>
>>22744837
When Kaiju No.8 was just starting to air, every thread had these group of posters talking about how boring it is and kept saying it flop, almost every opportunity they had. You said anything positive, they call you a shill. It's no different that the Gamerafags here who keep appearing every Godzilla thread, attacking it and the fans.

Yeah that and this one https://desuarchive.org/qa/thread/877516/ where he spends the whole thing spamming the thread is really depressing. Kinda like what he's doing here.

No, I know what he is doing. He's pulling an Eric. On /v/, there is an infamous shitposter known as Eric who samefag so hard of him replying to himself until the thread is dead. He's trying to kill the thread.

The thread was already kill before he reared his obese head.

>>22747147
Yeah, but he still accelerated it. This thread was going at a snails pace for the last week, then he went and did his whole "Oh this guy sucks, but he's nowhere near as bad as that Duelrager guy am I right fellas? The Duelrager guy I keep constantly bringing up despite the fact that I also keep saying that Duel doesn't exist too" shtick, after that it's just been his spergout for the last 3 hours.

This threads corpse should serve as proof he exist whenever he pulls that stunt again elsewhere.

I think its reception has changed quite a bit once more people realized this wasn’t meant to be a serious movie and was targeted more towards kids, it doesn’t even take place in the Showa series where the Godzilla movies are fictional. Is it still the weakest of the classic movies, most certainly but I think kids would get a kick out of it. Also reminder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U9TVJdkUPs

Toho is terrified to experiment with new opponents for Godzilla to fight. It's always the same opposite kaiju over and over and over again, Mothra, Ghidorah, MechaGodzilla, Gigan, Megalon (though that's more in videogames than in movies, last year's short notwithstanding)... I know familiar monsters are more profitable for them, but it's also tiresome seeing the same faces over and over again. For as much flak as it gets elsewhere, one thing I really like about the Monsterverse is that it gives us original kaiju, even if they're just side-dishes to the main monsters duking it out. It feels fresh and original and I'd love to see more original foes like we used to get in the Showa era.

I don't like the shadow Shin Godzilla cast on the Japanese side of the franchise. It feels like every one of Toho's Godzilla projects post-2016 has been coloured by Shin in some way, some more obviously than others. Minus 1, despite being an incredible movie, had me audibly groaning in the threatre the first time I saw Godzilla use his atomic breath during the Ginza attack, because the way his spines shot out of his back as he was charging was a kind of body horror that proclaimed its Shin Godzilla influence loudly and proudly. Singular Point is even worse about this, outright stealing the whole concept of Godzilla evolving into a land-based creature the more it adapts. And the anime trilogy Godzilla-forms the entire planet earth, in much the same way that Shin Godzilla would have multiplied and overrun the earth if he hadn't been stopped. I get that Shin was a huge success, but I hope now with Minus 1 blowing Shin out of the water that Godzilla projects going forward are given free reign to break away from the hold Shin Godzilla's shadow has on the franchise.

Toho's response to the newfound popularity of the series was making it a committee-driven series. Which it never was before, you always had executive producers who were working really close to the series, they developed the stories together with writers and directors. What they're doing now may harm the series in the long run. They'll end up sabotaging their own series, ironically because you'd think the Americans would be a bigger problem.

Probably because "fans" are not very receptive of anything that strives away from the norm? You make a perfect example, Shin made something different and influenced the following instances but you see it as something bad.

No, I don't think the Americans "would be a bigger problem". Toho being Japanese doesn't automatically mean they make better content than the Americans. Even if they're not critical successes, I think the Monsterverse films are a hell of a lot more entertaining than the Netflix trilogy. I also can't say for sure if I agree that Toho will end up sabotaging Godzilla. If Minus 1 is any indication they might start to take a step or two back and let their directors tell more of the stories they want going forward. I hope.

That's not what I said. I want to see more originality from the Godzilla franchise, but if all of Japan's entries going forward try to ape parts of Shin Godzilla then it stops being original. Minus 1 was a great film in its own right, a fresh and original take on what makes a human cast compelling, but its design for Godzilla didn't need to borrow body horror from Shin to stand on its own legs. Singular Point definitely had its own thing going, and as much as the science talk went over my head I could tell it was trying its best to be both faithful to and original in how it reinvented its cast of kaiju, and aping what Shin did only made their take on Godzilla feel less fresh than it actually should have been because we'd already seen a Godzilla that evolves. The anime trilogy... has a lot more problems than just "the planet being Godzilla-formed is a Shin Godzilla reference".

I liked Shin Godzilla, but that doesn't mean I think what made Shin Godzilla work necessarily works in other entries that aren't Shin Godzilla, and when other entries try to ape parts of Shin then their own originally gets diluted because we've already seen that part before.

Honestly I'm okay with this. It's already a pretty versatile roster that's covered all of the bases
