Why is gamerautist so obsessed with rebirth? To the point of even missing the point of his own screenshot.

A small chance for more is still a better fate than what happened to SP
>>
>>23645625
You’re missing the forest for the trees anon. Gamera’s only chance at new stuff if fan crowdfunding. Meanwhile Godzilla is getting a metric fuckton of new shit from both Toho and legendary every year. You can hyper focus it being better than one thing, but you’re missing the big picture.
>>
>>23645653
Blame Kadokawa for not funding Gamera projects, they barely funded Rebirth

I think this is something else

I would honestly prefer a redo of S1.

If that metric fuckton of new shit includes slop like that new dogshit shonen anime, id rather not get anything at all

We could of a cool mechagodzilla with reality altering powers but no fuck us i guess

Kadokawa didn't even want to fund the first one, they genuinely don't like the turtle and just wanted daiei
Japanese Kaiju related crowdfunded projects typically get funded so lets see what happens

>>23645173
Ultimately this is true.

>>23647780
wdym that one?
there's been a handful like brush of the god, howl from beyond the fog and ayura, all of which got funded
>>
>>23647463
I feel that doesn't change the fact that Rebirth is really well-done
>>23647298
>Shonenslopzilla
So really what the fans have turned the character into.
This just furthers my theory that Godzilla has become a collection of fan interpretations rather than what he was supposed to be
>>
>>23647998
the synopsis suggest its just a boy who has Godzilla powers and there might not even be Godzilla kaiju stuff happening directly, fans do not want that
>>
>>23648019
Honestly, I know Godzilla fans, and they have this really weird obsession with powerscaling that can border on the genuinely deranged.
Remember the guy who started fucking throwing a tantrum and said Death Battle was being racist by having Godzilla lose?
>>
>>23648032
Honestly I DON'T CARE about powerscaling at all, I just want to be entertained with good Godzilla content. I don't care if Godzilla loses a fight, only if he's handled well, that's all that matters to me.
>>
>>23647850
I have no idea what any of those are.
>>
>>23648408
Believe me.
THEY do, and if he does lose, they will throw a tantrum the likes of which you will never see
>>
>>23645173
There was 0 chance of SP ever getting a second season even with he stinger at the end
>>
>>23648478
You’re correct, but this is rich coming from the guy who spent years raging on the death battle general about how his le wholesome chungus turtle got destroyed by the arrogant and mean Godzilla.
>>
>>23648839
Where does the term wholesome chungus even come from
>>
>>23648839
Believe me, when this comes out you’re gonna get a bunch of utter fags saying Godzilla has “Aura”
>>
>>23647276
No, a good cut.
>>
>>23649056
Really, just give us what the director wanted
>>
Are they really that deep in shit? Maybe they should consider letting Legendary make a Gamera movie for their Monsterverse.
>>
>>23649095
That’s the literal worst thing that could happen.
>>
>>23649045
You’re correct but it doesn’t change the fact you spent years crying on /dbg/ about a ten year old episode of the show where Gamera (rightfully) got his shit pushed in. It cheapens what you say when people know what you’ve been doing and it’s what you’re complaining about others doing.

Enjoy your dead franchise.

Godzilla powerscalers have this deranged headcanon version of him that exists in their head, one that's strong enough to overcome literal gods based on REALLY shitty at best evidence.
Like, ah yes, he blew up a mountain with a bit thing on top of it. This means he can destroy entire platonic concepts.

I'd rather kill myself than have Yamazaki or Kaneko touch Gamera.
We need someone who actually likes the character or would vibe well with what he does, like Hosada.
You can't just ask Del Toro or whatever to direct something outside his comfort zone.
>>
>Godzilla becomes a multi media giant that just gets more popular as time goes on

After all the people who acted like rebirth was the second coming can go fuck themselves lol.

Rebirth was the best thing Gamera has ever done and you know it. Not his fault that people care more about brand than quality.

Someone who either actually LIKES Gamera OR can actually do the character properly.
Yamazaki cannot do a Gamera movie because his directing style doesn't work with what Gamera is as a character.

The point I'm making is that Kaneko has repeatedly said he doesn't like Gamera, while Yamazaki hasn't really expressed any interest in it.
A director who doesn't like OR have any interest in a character isn't the best choice to direct something with them.

You and I both know that people only care about Godzilla. If Gamera was given the big budget movie with a prestige director, nobody would care, and if Godzilla got a 6 episode miniseries everyone would've cared.

Nobody cares about Gamera, isn't that what you always say?

Nigger dont put words in my mouth, YOU have made people turn against Gamera by being the most obnoxious faggot on this board aside from Duel, im convinced you are a Toho employee Psyop to get people to HATE him.

As if they already didn't hate him

Fill me in, I'd like to know who that is. I've got popcorn if he's more obnoxious than this

NTA but who even is duel? I’ve been accused of being him multiple times for not liking singular point (probably by the same guy every time) and I don’t even know who that is.
>>
>>23649365
How much of a newfag are you?
TDLR infamous diabetic troll who's been banned from every feasible Tokusatsu/Mecha anime website except here, he pretty much hates every possible mecha or toku series and pretends to like the most hated ones.
>>
>>23649370
No duel hates Singular Point, but thats due to him being severely low IQ than any actual criticism towards the series.
>>23649363
Everyone didn't have an issue until (you) crawled out from hell you subhuman

Oh ok you ARE the guy who accuses everyone who is negative about SP, got it. I am tired of schizos and the schizos obsessed with the schizos (you).

My theory is duel used to be a problem and then moved on or an hero’d. And you continue to accuse everyone who disagrees with you of being him because it makes you feel more secure in your opinion. After all, nobody disagrees with you except Mr schizo man! This shit is the cancer that killed 4chan and left us with this husk.

I don't think it's a second season.
It's probably like, maybe a video like those Gemstone things at most
>>
>>23649418
I always got the feeling he liked Gamera more than Godzilla at least, given he straight up calls Godzilla evil and just look at GMK.
>>
>>23649465
Calling something evil doesn't mean you like it less
>>
>>23649479
Idk, GMK and his original pitch for a Godzilla movie paint a pretty good picture of what he thinks about Godzilla.

>>23649481

Is duel even real? Considering the nonsense that has been spouted by the guy claiming that everyone is him it makes me question it.

>>23649677
Couldn't tell you.

In an interview he did, he claimed Godzilla was a an incarnation of evil and said he felt sorry for Gamera as he had good intention. If you don't believe, here's a link: https://x.com/penpen_iii/status/1621909703570620416

If you don't like their movies that's fine but I have to assume you're a fucking retard if your preference is Gamera movies/shows being crowdfunded over Taihei taking a page out of Toho's book (as usual) and putting in some effort to make Gamera relevant internationally in the modern era. So he can make some MONEY, in case that wasn't clear.

It would've been much better if Gamera just outright ended with the trilogy, and Rebirth, as well as that thuddingly meh 2006 film, never existed.
At least, it would've ended on a high note. After all, all good things should come to an end and remain buried.
At least, fans, what little they are, have their imaginations and can even make fan projects if they're crazy enough. And no retard would exist to ruin the discourse.
>>
>>23645173
Godzilla has way more support, a much bigger fanbase and of course, several anime installments, not just SP.
So, yeah, every time whoever is in charge of Gamera takes one step forward, Toho immediately afterwards take ten steps ahead.
So, yeah, no need to say who the big winner still is.
>>
>>23650668
But first off, you should die first since you just invoked Godwin's law.
>>
>>23650344
When has Gamera not been lame other than in the trilogy, where in he is the only completed form from a long failed line of ancient artificial living superweapons created by the Atlanteans, but might also be the Black Tortoise, one of the East Asian Four Gods and the celestial counterpart of the Vermilion Bird, represented by Iris?
>>
>>23650902
Rebirth and The Brave?
Making him mystical is one thing, but making him an outright guardian spirit who fights stuff as paltry as demons is lame as fuck because it robs him of his mystique.
>>
>>23650908
>>23650902
Like, if it's implied that he influenced mythology or is so powerful that people mistook him for a god, that's fine, but him being a literal mythical figure just kinda shrinks him in scope and awe factor, because it effectively explains the totality of him.
When Gamera is kept rather mysterious and we're only given snippets or hints of his backstory, or at most a very vague explanation, it makes him seem much grander and more like he's something that exists beyond our understanding.
Gamera being an explicit god, rather than something that the word "God" is the closest approximation of, is a dumb thing.
>>
>>23650856
I actually preferred The Brave to the Heisei trilogy because it didn't treat him like "Godzilla but with a shell" and instead stuck to his actually unique traits.
>>
>>23645173
I was gonna say, this seems like a better turn of events than the Godzilla turning into a Kaiju no. 8 Ripoff.
>>
>>23650934
I would've preferred Gamera in that premise due to the whole "Bonded with the spiritual energy of humanity" thing.
Hell, you could do a Mothra thing with this. Just choose a Kaiju who has a link to humanity.
>>
>>23650944
Speaking on Mothra, just realized something, throughout all of Gamera, though he is an ally of humanity, he's always been fighting on his own. Every other kaiju in the series are enemies he fought. There are like, no kaiju that are friendly to Gamera or even just fought alongside him as a reluctant ally of convenience against a bigger threat, like with Godzilla in the Showa, Heisei and Monsterverse movies. No Mothra equivalent in Gamera who is a female majestic winged divine spirit or something. No Anguirus or Rodan-like allies. There isn't even a Gamera and Daimajin team-up.

>>23650959
Yeah, I've always thought it was bizarre that Gamera's never had an ally, or teamed up with Daimajin, or even just had a Gamera vs. Daimajin movie (especially after Toho had so much success crossing Godzilla over with King Kong, Mothra, and Rodan). Hell, Gamera's never even fought a robot, or an evil version of himself (like Mechagodzilla or SpaceGodzilla). And an old enemy has never come back to either become an ally, or team up with a new villain to take Gamera down (sure, the Gyaos were in Gamera 3, but there was no moment where Gamera had to fight Iris and a Gyaos that were teamed up against him). It's weird how much potential material the Gamera series still has yet to attempt.
>>
>>23651123
He did fight robots in Gamera 2000

>>23651138
>An obscure PlayStation game from the '90s most people have probably never played or possibly even heard of
Yeah, cause that counts.

Gamera isn’t cool enough to have a mecha counterpart.

>>23651153
Why would he need a mirror match?

Why would he want giant monster allies?
His friends are the children of earth
>>
>>23651333
He spared two baby garasharp after killing the mother
>>
>>23651123
Being a lone wolf helps sell him as the monster who never gives up. And the only monster in his stable that could even work as an ally thematically is maybe Guiron, but that suit is too cumbersume to choreograph around.

Having an ally makes it easier to protect the children of Earth.

>>23651451
Guiron could work, depending on who's controlling him, or perhaps Viras or Zigra, if a more benevolent member of their race encountered Gamera. Or they could go the "well, Anguirus was Godzilla's first foe" route and make it Barugon. And then, of course, there's the fact that his ally wouldn't necessarily have to be an old returning foe. It could be Daimajin, or somebody new entirely. Perhaps the Zilla/Komodithrax route and it's another Gamera, or similar type turtle monster, with enough visual differences to be interesting. Or give him a child ally (like Minya or Emi) he spends most of the film protecting who can help out in a fight when needed. Heck, cover some ground that even Toho hasn't yet, and make "Mechagamera" an ally.

When will the turtle learn his lesson?

>Let's ruin one of his most compelling character traits because I need muh hype
Actually just fucking die
>>
>>23652187
I once read this really unique idea that Mechagamera is born from a child's wish for Gamera to have an ally.
It ends in heartbreaking stuff
>>
>>23652187
If it's easier then it's not interesting.
Gamera fights alone because it's a compelling writing choice.
Like, isn't "Hero fighting against impossible odds" considered a pretty basic writing thing?
>>
Gamera will never be relevant, much less Godzilla tier iconic.
>>
>>23652242
Which most compelling character trait did I say to ruin? Not having an ally? Is that a character trait of Gamera's? Do people say "I sure do love how Gamera doesn't have any friends"?

>>23652245
I'm intrigued, anon. Do you have a link or anything?

>>23652253
>Like, isn't "Hero fighting against impossible odds" considered a pretty basic writing thing?
Wouldn't Gamera having an ally in a fight only increase this? Isn't this the entire point of whenever Godzilla has an ally?
>Neither Godzilla, Rodan, or Mothra can beat Ghidorah alone; they must join forces in order to stand a chance
>Neither Godzilla or Jet Jaguar can beat Megalon and Gigan alone; they must join forces in order to stand a chance
>Neither Godzilla or King Caesar can beat Mechagodzilla alone; they must join forces in order to stand a chance
>Neither Godzilla or MOGUERA can beat SpaceGodzilla alone; they must join forces in order to stand a chance
Etc., etc. The whole point of needing to team up with someone else is specifically because it's a harder, more dangerous threat than usual.

The anon you’re talking to does, he relates to that.

I dunno what the issue is. I think Gamera would work just fine with an ally.

It's called being an underdog. Gamera doesn't have allies because it makes him winning in the end cooler
>>
>>23652653
I think I saw it on like, a blog somewhere.
Nothing official, just someone idly pitching an idea
>>
>>23652825
I think after 60 years of him being a solo underdog we can afford ONE movie where he teams up with another monster.
>>
>>23652947
>I think after 44 years of Godzilla shooting lasers, we can afford to not have him shoot lasers
The guys who did Godzilla 1998
>>
>>23653061
Yes, because doing something different plot-wise is exactly the same as changing absolutely every single aspect of the main character.
>>
>>23653061
How are you so fucking retarded?
>>
>>23653140
It’s changing one of his most fundamental traits that differentiates him as a character
>>
>>23653618
That's not a character trait, that's Daiei being too cheap to afford a third monster suit.
>>
>>23653675
The point I’m making is that him having zero monster allies is another thing that sets him apart from Godzilla.
He doesn’t need to be like Godzilla
>>
>>23653735
>he doesn’t need to be like Godzilla
On the business side he clearly isn’t.
>>
>>23653772
And yet
>>
>>23653735
Godzilla didn't invent teaming up.
>>
>>23654961
But it’s clearly a staple of his.
Gamera shouldn’t team up with another monster because it heightens his underdog “never-give-up” nature
>>
>>23655285
>But it’s clearly [HEADCANON]
So will you be donating to the Kickstarter? How much?
>>
>>23655932
I don't because it's not for anything worthwhile
>>
>>23656189
More gamera isn’t worthwhile? Damn.
>>
>>23656207
Because it's not more Gamera
>>
>>23650934
It won't be as boring as Kaiju 8 at least
>>
>>23655285
Fucking Kaneko says this
>Gamera's charm lies in never giving up
Him having an ally negates this. It's like if Rocky needed to team up with someone to take down Drago
>>
>>23657314
>Drago
Did you just reference the Rocky movie where the villain is shown to be dangerous and powerful because he beat Rocky's ally?
>>
>>23657869
The point is that Rocky beats Drago alone
>>
>>23658910
NTA but how do you miss the point this badly?
>>
>>23659620
The point I'm making is that if you give Gamera an ally who can actually fight alongside him, he stops being an underdog because he has someone in his corner who can back him up.
>>
>>23659874
That's actually the exact opposite, anon. It doesn't make Gamera no longer an underdog, it makes Gamera and his ally BOTH underdogs, because if either Gamera or the ally could beat the villain on their own, they wouldn't need the other. Godzilla was still almost killed by Mechagodzilla even though he had help from King Caesar.
>>
>>23659886
It also undercuts Gamera's determination, anon.
Why would he need an ally? What thematic purpose would it serve other than to make people clap?
A huge part of his charm is how he stands alone against insurmountable odds
>>
>>23659907
>It also undercuts Gamera's determination, anon.
No it doesn't...? You're the only one suggesting Gamera would get lazy just because he'd have help one time.
>Why would he need an ally?
I'm not entirely sure which part of "too strong for Gamera to beat on his own" you're having trouble with...
>What thematic purpose would it serve other than to make people clap?
Now that'd fully depend on what the plot of said movie is, wouldn't it?
>A huge part of his charm is how he stands alone against insurmountable odds
That's not unique to Gamera, anon. Godzilla does that. Mothra does that. King Kong does that. Mega Shark does that. If anything, GODZILLA is the one that should never have an ally. Godzilla is known as the King of the Monsters. Why would the King need an ally? Gamera's just some turtle that likes kids.
>>
>>23660056
Because it makes it more compelling when he does win against all odds.
I can’t believe you can’t comprehend the idea of a lone hero who stands against a horde
>>
>>23660096
>I can’t believe you can’t comprehend the idea of a lone hero who stands against a horde
I can. I can also comprehend the idea of two united heroes who stand against an even bigger horde.
>>
>>23660358
I think I figured out why gamerafag is so against gamera having allies. It’s simply more Godzilla contrarianism. Godzilla has allies and Godzilla bad so it must be bad, therefore it having allies is good thus making Gamera good.
>>
>>23660358
Gamera stands alone against evil. It’s what makes him compelling.
He is the last bastion.
Adding some monster he teams up with makes him less unique.
>>
>>23660056
Actually, no.
Godzilla is the KING. As in ruler or leader. If he had no allies or supporters, who would he be king of?
Gamera is the LAST HOPE. As in the final. The end. The ultimate warrior against despair. Our ONLY hope.

Gameranon really sitting there watching The Avengers thinking to themselves
>Man, this whole 'team up' thing is really making Hawkeye look super non-compelling right now...
