Why no Monarch threads? It's not THAT bad.

I thought /tv/ liked kaijuslop.

Naw, that would be the black hacker dyke.

watched parts of the kong movie but it was so inferior to the peter jackson film that i haven't been interested in anything else from this 'cinematic universe'

particularly the annoying journalist woman taking photos of the natives w/ some gay ass music playing pissed me off

That's because Godzilla is white-coded. I know modern revisionism (especially in the American version) has tried to rework Godzilla into a metaphorical "force of nature" but at the very core Godzilla represents the unstoppable, unyielding, and borderline callous nature of American/white dominance over other nations.
Hell even GMK is the physical manifestation of white people who suffered at the hands of the Japanese during WW2 and seeks nothing but the total obliteration of Japan.

Nothing disgusts me more than trying to portray godzilla as a hero of sort in a cynical attempt to sell toys. GMK was kino.

Godzilla represents imperial japan and the bushido spirit of olde nippon, retard

Godzilla was created as a way to express Japan's collective trauma of the both nuclear bombings and the subsequent Lucky Dragon No.5 radiation poisoning event, dipshit. This is well-known film history.
>>
>>219368764
It was created as a way for modern liberal japanese to bin their shameful imperial history and show the horrors that their imperial ambitions brought upon them and to push back against the remaining old guard that held onto the hirohito era. Little pup, you're out of your depth

I watched the first season on amazon recently and thought it was a fine show. I'll watch season 2 whenever it hits amazon.
>>219365844
Jackson's movie is garbage and Skull Island is easily the best American Kong movie after 33, the rest are nothing but remakes.

You're clearly retarded and know nothing about the history of Godzilla.

But they literally say the thing about the Japanese army in the movie. Don't tell you watched the dub?

He thinks repeating what he heard from the one Godzilla video essay he watched makes him an expert I doubt he's even watched more than 2 Godzilla movies

Why would anyone watch that garbage?

asian girl. but they made her lesbian so its pointless

All I know is that the asian main character is uncomfortably attractive.

Then you don't deserve your degree because you're wrong.

The fuck are you people talking about? Godzilla was explicitly made as a way for Japanese media to talk about the nuclear bombing of Japan, a topic that was banned under American occupation immediately post-WW2. The start of the film with the sailors being exposed to the flash of light is a direct reference to the Lucky Dragon No.5's exposure to nuclear fallout after a bomb test in the Bikini Atoll. This is Godzilla 101 shit.

>>219369687
You need to stop posting we all watched that surface level video essay too. You probably don't even speak Japanese. Your understanding of this is so basic it's not even worth discussing with you

>>219369687

GMK, the film that (you) brought.

GOJIRA!

close enough

>>219364777
If the Randas are supposed to be hapas why did they cast full Japanese actors, it’s distracting af especially with Hiroshi’s daddy issues this season
>>
>>219369726
What fucking video essay? Literally every making-of thing to do with the original 1954 GOJIRA talks about his nuclear bombing origins.
>>219369745
The bulk of my post was just about Godzilla in general, the reference to GMK was a secondary point, but even then, basically everything to do with GMK talks about how he is the embodiment of the angry souls of those who suffered at the hands of the Japanese military, that have been since ignored post-WW2. Hell it's even in the Wikipedia article.
>While Godzilla is still a mutant dinosaur that was created by the atomic bomb, it is also described as the embodiment of those killed or left to die at the hands of the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces during the Pacific War

Then you're a fucking retard who can't follow 4chan threads, that's already covered in the inB4.

The first season was THAT fucking bad. I’ve been a Godzilla diehard for over 30 years, and I bailed.

Apple uploaded an official YouTube compilation of all the kaiju scenes in the first season, and it amounted to 25 minutes…of an 8-hour show. And Godzilla himself is only like five minutes of it, and he barely does anything when he actually does show up.

^This and the majority of my subsequent posts is about the original 1954 Godzilla film.
>Hell even GMK is the physical manifestation of white people who suffered at the hands of the Japanese during WW2 and seeks nothing but the total obliteration of Japan.
^This was a supplemental point.

>that's already covered in the inB4.
There are no inb4 posts in this thread. This will be the last response I post in this thread because I am genuinely aghast at how unbelievably retarded the posts responding to my original post (which is the most basic, entry-level Godzilla lore knowledge about Godzilla) have been. Honestly, I hope this has just been trolling because I'm truly stunned at the stupidity.

>>219370009
The Randas aren’t hapas. Hiroshi was born to a Japanese father before Bill stepped into the picture and went on to have two Japanese wives.
