I didnt care to look into it myself so I just chose to take that friend's word for it

#

no clue lol

#

idk if you wanna try to find something on that ofc

vapid marlin
#

But last November, Spaihts was pulled off of Dune: Sisterhood not over creative differences, but so he could begin work on writing the Dune sequel movie. And as part of Vanity Fair’s preview of the film, Villeneuve revealed that he wouldn’t agree to sign on to make the movie unless he could tell it in two parts

#

seems accurate (?)

dim hedge
#

Thanks, if ever 😊

main lion
#

the specification of "1st novel" that my friend made isnt mentioned there however

#

but he seemed pretty confident on it

#

uh idk I have amazon siobe

vapid marlin
dim hedge
#

😩

#

Thanks anyway

vapid marlin

||For the feature film adaptation, Villeneuve tells Vanity Fair that he’s expanded the role of Paul’s mother Lady Jessica, played by Rebecca Ferguson. She is “even more fearsome than before” in the script, serving a greater role in defending and training Paul, and Ferguson tells Vanity Fair the changes were for the better:||

true yew
#

ngl anything with "sisterhood" touched by hollywood will be shit in 2020

#

||lol literally confirmed||

vapid marlin
#

As for this... ||How the fuck could they possibly make her "even more fearsome than before"? Sounds like hype-speech||

#

||She was already as good as it gets in the book.||

true yew
#

fatsu I can explain. so it works like this ||you take a good female character and "empower" them.... even is they already were perfectly fine. ask mulan||

vapid marlin
#

yeah I don't understand what they could even do tbh man

#

like

#

||She was already the most fearsome and powerful woman in the book, period||

true yew
#

yup

vapid marlin
#

so ?????

#

lmao

#

well in any case I'll look forward to the cinematography, although reading some of these quotes from villenueve is giving me cancer

#

“As much as I deeply love the book, I felt that the baron was flirting very often with caricature,” says Villeneuve. “And I tried to bring him a bit more dimension. That’s why I brought in Stellan. Stellan has something in the eyes. You feel that there’s someone thinking, thinking, thinking—that has tension and is calculating inside, deep in the eyes. I can testify, it can be quite frightening.”

#

literally sounds like a speedreader

#

"flirting with caricature"????

#

these quotes basically sound like he's imagining these things weren't already the case in the book and is pretending he improved it lmao

true yew
#

it's exactly that lol

#

there's always interpretations but c'mon, there's a reason why dune is held up as a milestone of science fiction

#

focus on how to condense it, not change it...

vapid marlin
#

well seems they are indeed doing a 2-part

#

he probably is going to just ||elaborate on the bene gesserit training for paul before the book actually begins||

#

or rather just show it to us outright

true yew
#

just feels like misplaced priorities when there's so much to cover

copper phoenix
#

imagine having your favorite novel made into a super production with great actors and a director that actually cares about the source material

vapid marlin
#

i think it'll be a good set of movies

#

certain things are guaranteed, cgi and cinematography and such

#

the cast I think is well-placed

#

now just comes down to writing

#

i'm sure I'll have nitpicks but I do think overall it's promising

#

director may try to fluff himself up a bit while degrading the book slightly, but even he should know that this is a franchise which has a lot of potential for big money in the future

#

and if that's not motivation idk what is

#

also, it's about time we got something better than star wars in the realm of sci fi hollywood

Words cannot explain how angry I am about Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency's cancillation.
I just found the show recently and it is literally one of my favorite shows of all time now!
It's smart, witty, and funny! Screw ratings! The show was extremly good!

#

As much as i despite "Cuties", I don't know how the costumer will win if upcoming shows and sequels are cancelled because of this controversial movie

regal root
#

Easy, another of the numerous streaming services that DOESN’T provide a platform for what is effectively soft core porn for pedos will pick up the slack and give consumers something else to watch.

south prairie
#

the problem is, Netflix is rather VPN-free unlike Amazon or HBO. This means i will likely be a pirate

brave orbit
#

I think an apology and a change of ceo could do the trick

south prairie
#

Just ban the movie, and move on.

brave orbit
#

And remove the fucking movie

regal root
#

And donate a shit ton of funds to orgs that help sexual assault survivors

south prairie
#

Also, make sure they will stop being hypocrites when it comes to fan services

brave orbit
#

I think that is more of a japan thing

#

If that is what you mean

south prairie
#

I was referring to Live-Action Feye in Cowboy Bebop

brave orbit
#

Ah

south prairie
#

They pretty much said her anime outfit is problematic, yet "Cuties" is cool

#

and Big Mouth is cool too 🤦‍♂️

Big mouth......

They also reffered to a kid as top somewhere

his acting kept me in it

the storyline is quite weird you see. I have finished the latest one too

hoary hawk

yes

as have I

#

If not for him, may be I wouldn't have continued :p

hoary hawk
#

me either

dreamy rock
#

Watched Utopia?

hoary hawk
#

nope

vapid marlin
#

this much was obvious already, but the link basically confirms that disney bought star wars, ignored lucas' recommendations for future plot and then handed it off to different directors and said "have fun"

#

hard to believe they made these kinds of decisions around a billion dollar product

#

not even having a character draft and just deciding what happens while filming?

mighty mist
#

That's just fucking sad. 😦

dim hedge
#

fats the fact it 'wasn't planned' isn't even the problem

#

loads of great series weren't planned

#

new planet of the apes trilogy? wasn't planned

#

OG star wars trilogy? as far as i know it wasn't planned

#

as long as you have a grasp of your chracters, your through line etc you can p easily extrapolate to new stories

#

as far as I can tell Abrams did none of that. This is what happens when your desire of what to do for the sequel is based off of an entirely reactionary standpoint

#

ironically, the same reason Attack of the Clones was/is reviled by star wars fans is the same reason ep 9 is

#

the filmmakers backpedaled HARD and tried to pander to them

cold dock
#

... I'm too tired to rant over this shit.

#

@vapid marlin knows I go off on this stuff, LUL!

@leaden depot have you

leaden depot
#

No, but that's how things usually go with user ratings of controversial themes

#

Like TLOU 2 in Metacritic

dim hedge
#

i've watched it yesterday because despite the commentaries, i gave it the benefit of the doubt

#

and i get the message of the movie

#

but the negatives outweigh the positives for me

#

like, a good chunk of the movie literally ||shows softcore child porn, like an ample number of seconds of zooming in to a twerking child's ass and a shot of a girl's crotch|| trigger warning

#

it's fucking disgusting to watch, mate. pedos would ignore the message of the movie and just dive right in, iykwim.

magic bloom
#

The message was good. The execution was actually a dumpster fire

dim hedge
#

exactly

#

and rotten tomatoes ratings can't be trusted. the ratings are politically inspired

#

i'd rather watch a movie without knowing the reviews as much as possible

dire lichen
#

rotten tomatoes really like MCU movies

dim hedge
#

these "professional reviewers" were really downvoting dave chapelle's latest skit

#

#

There's this new Disney series called The Owl House

#

Great little show, cute, somehow actually hilarious, and feels like a wilder Harry Potter

#

And apparently that's on purpose, I guess? I haven't read much of why, but the creator seems to have some small beef or something, idk

#

Great show though, recommend if anyone is looking for a short binge to escape into that isn't just bogged down with heavy themes or IRL allegories

What a fucking loser bro

these type of people should go rot away or locked up

I honestly can't believe we live in a world where sick snuff films like Cuties exist.

hoary hawk
#

i think we can all agree its a pretty controversial topic

#

but we should prob move on from it

much better western series out there to discuss about

#

Netflix film with tom holland came out of nowhere lol

sonic quail
#

Wut

#

They revealed the next avatar?

sage sleet
#

apparently lmao

#

honestly I thought both avatar and korra could have gone further

sonic quail
#

Oh i remember this

#

The book thing

#

Yea

#

For sure

sage sleet
#

I've never read a single comic or book

sonic quail
#

Samesies

#

The creators have always been adamant about telling the stories but not overstaying their welcome it seems

sage sleet
#

I've always wanted an avatar animated series about an avatar that knows they're the avatar but doesn't wanna be it so they hide it

#

they scrapped book 4 of atla for the live movie

#

sad!

#

ending to korra was nice yeah i can't complain too much

#

wish it went further but yeah i wouldn't wanna end up resenting it

#

LIKE SOME OF YOU FUCKS

copper phoenix
#

they can over stay forever imo

#

I don't think I'd ever get tired of more avatar stuff

sage sleet
#

Still praying to every god known to man we get a avatar kyoshi series

regal root
#

I want an avatar set in a futuristic back drop if they’re ever gonna do a 3rd one

sage sleet
#

I was thinking about that too buc

#

wonder how it would be handled

regal root
#

See how the elements work against lasers and shit QueenKEKW

copper phoenix

cyberpunk avatar KizaruPog

sage sleet
#

I just wanna see varrick and bolin again

#

sonic quail
#

I kinda wanted like a bad guy avatar up until we found out about the good and evil spirits

#

Dark avatar we got was...

#

Jesus

#

anti hero avatar when

sonic quail
#

Or even twin avatars

regal root

Avatar vs Avatar ShanksPog

sonic quail
copper phoenix
#

avatar vs ratava

sage sleet
#

what if they had 2 elements each lmao

#

I wouldn't hate it honestly idk

sonic quail
#

Well

#

Given how much each element can do now

#

Wouldnt be too bad

sage sleet
#

my thoughts exactly

#

imagine being the twin that gets fire and air LUL

#

I'd just never ben

copper phoenix
#

artificial bending KizaruPog

sage sleet
#

bend

copper phoenix
#

machines with bending vegapunk style

sonic quail
#

And like they can always tell where the other is or how theyre feeling

#

Maybe even do some fusion shit

regal root
#

What if they did do a futuristic avatar and found out that through gene splicing they can make pseudo avatars? WapolTriggered

sonic quail
#

I can see it happening

regal root
#

It’d be such a cluster Fuck of destruction, I’d love it

sonic quail
#

Some science spiritual experiments

sage sleet
#

more lava bending pls

sonic quail
#

They figure out how to create spirits

sage sleet
#

also metal bending tight af

sonic quail
#

Yea

#

Lava bending is dope

#

So many good ideas

sage sleet
#

what element do you guys think is the lamest

#

personally I think it's fire

sonic quail
#

They can even do an alternate universe tbh

sage sleet
#

korra however made every single element cool af

sonic quail
#

So they dont have to retcon shit

sage sleet
#

when iroh was fire bending and flying? gas bro

regal root
#

Gravity bending please BBZehahaha

sonic quail
sage sleet
#

I'm open to alternate universes

#

experimenting is fine by me as long as they learn

sonic quail
#

Yea

#

Some ideas will stick

#

Some wont

sage sleet
#

and pls for the love of god show us what happened after book 3 of atla through adulthood

#

and give us a kyoshi series

sonic quail
#

Execution is all that matters

regal root
#

If they can get lightning bending from fire bending then you 100% can get gravity bending from earth bending

sonic quail
#

Yea choc

sage sleet
#

interesting

sonic quail
#

Also people can just fly?

#

Zahir

sage sleet
#

he lost his hoe then that mf started soaring

#

bitches be weighing us down fellas

sonic quail
#

So theres room for more abilities tied to spiritual shit

#

Lmao

sage sleet
#

I've always wanted to see more sand bending as weird as that may seem

regal root
#

As to answer your question about lamest element, honestly I’d probably have to save air bending

sonic quail
#

Forgot about sand bending

#

Air bending can be dope

sage sleet
#

no avatar has done it I think

regal root
#

If for no other reason than that you can do the least with it

sage sleet
#

if I had to rank them it would be Water/Earth, air, fire

#

After korra I have a really hard time ranking earth and water

#

both god tier imo

sonic quail
#

Yea

#

They went all out

sage sleet
#

like the shit I saw from korra alone made me think damn i'm tryna be a water bender no an earth bender fuck water no earth

#

also people might hate me for saying this but tenzin made air bending cool not aang

#

not knocking aang bc he was a kid

#

and tenzin is like 56

sonic quail
#

Air needs some other ability connecting like with fire and lightning

sage sleet
#

so he had years and years to learn

regal root
#

The 2 strongest at any given time really should be earth and water, if for no other reason than that they are the most abundant

sage sleet
#

but in korra when he air bended I was like ok damn

sonic quail
#

Yea buc

sage sleet
#

well air kinda has spirits in a sense?

sonic quail
#

Tenzin was amazing for sure

#

Oh shit yea

#

I forgot about that

#

Wasnt she bending spirit energy?

#

Witth air?

sage sleet
#

imagine your ass broke n you can't afford a plane ticket so your ass water bend across the ocean lmao

#

I think they only ever gave jinora time to shine with both spirits and air bending

regal root
#

And voiced by that bad man J.K. Simmons KizaruPog

sonic quail
#

I wanna see more guys earth bend similar to how terra from teen titans did

#

Where she would use rocks to fly around and shit

sage sleet
#

yeah they never really fucked with that sadly

#

like lin did it once for 2 seconds

sonic quail
#

I can understand why tbh

sage sleet
#

also lin was quality

regal root
#

I’ve honestly been making up a story in my head where the MC’s main hero/idol is someone who is a badass with earth powers

sage sleet
#

kyoshi cough cough

sonic quail
#

Lol

sage sleet
#

I like her story

regal root
#

Ngl, some of the fights coming to my head with that in that are pretty badass

sage sleet
#

didn't realize she was the avatar until she was 16

#

absolute amazon of a woman

#

murder is okay

sonic quail
#

Yea buc atla has so much potential when it comes to fight choreography

copper phoenix
sage sleet
#

the fights in korra were honest to god 11/10

sonic quail
#

Yep

#

Best part

sage sleet
#

if people take anything at all from korra

#

it's the gorgeous fights

regal root
#

Just like imagine being a human and fighting something like a monster the size of a small mountain and all you got is earth power.

sage sleet
#

hate what you want bout the series but the fights were stunning

sonic quail
sage sleet
#

I always liked earth bending then they showed metal bending, sand bending, and lava? I was almost sold

regal root
#

A pity the overall stories in Korra couldn’t match up to the quality of the fights

sage sleet
#

then I saw the water bending in korra and i'm like fuck dude that'

#

sick af

regal root
#

Blood bending BBZehahaha

sage sleet
#

ok the absolute worst part of both avatar series is the foul sound of blood bending

#

actually makes me feel my blood lmaoo

sonic quail
#

Being able to control the water in plants

copper phoenix
#

being able to get water from air and stay hydrated anywhere 👌

sonic quail
#

Using your own sweat is like the most badass shit

mighty mist
#

What about Korra?

sage sleet
#

imagine somebody talkin smack and you water bend the spit out they mouth

#

lmao I just chuckled to myself

copper phoenix
#

ptoo

#

boom he's dead

#

being able to get water from air and have a portable bidet 👌

sonic quail
#

sonic quail
#

copper phoenix
#

ok I'll stop

#

forget I ever said that OdaWeird

sage sleet
#

all eyes on you

#

did you guys see the theory on monk long name (aang's mentor) basically killing himself

#

while taking out like 20 fire benders

regal root
#

I mean I kinda figured, either they got him directly or he overworked himself to death

sage sleet
#

the theory is he took the air out of the entire room and suffocated himself and the other fire benders

#

bc if you look at his clothes they're not burnt at all

#

how would that happen vs 20 or so fire benders

#

and they don't usually fight so that's an alternative

#

makes senseto me tbh

copper phoenix
mighty mist
#

Yikes.

sage sleet
#

it's around where I time stamped

#

also I love the theory about varrick being sokka's son and varrick was just being extra and lying lmao

regal root
#

Hardcore, I was always thinking the most intense way to use air bending would either to suffocate someone by not letting air leave/enter their lungs or by gathering the oxygen in their blood and shooting it up to their brains as an aneurysm

sage sleet
#

||zaheer would like to have a word with you|| korra book 3

I mean compressed air is no joke

#

you could rip somone to shreds with that kind of power

sonic quail
#

Man took the phrase he “took my breath away” to a whole new level

copper phoenix
#

shockwaves from explosions are known for killing people by destroying their internal organs

#

basically anything that messes with air pressure can fuck you up really bad

Currently rereading. Finished TWoK. On WoR. ||I will never forget how Kaladin jumping into the arena to save Adolin WITH NO FUCKING SUPPORT OR ARMOR right after he drops "Honor is dead. But I'll see what I can do" ||is the first time I ever had my heart BEATING during any scene in a book.

so many epic lines I can't decide which one is my favorite

Yeek

but that kaladin one is top tier

I'm slightly biased towards the self-help quotes tho they kinda hit hard QueenKEKW

|| the most important step a man can take is always the next one ||

I always repeat that one to myself when I'm feeling like crap

That Kaladin scene in Words of Radiance and the Dalinar scene towards the end of Oathbringer are my two favorite moments

#

||You can not have my pain||

#

OB

copper phoenix
#

god

indigo path
#

||Dalinar|| literally God

copper phoenix
#

my favorite book is still the first because I'm a huge kaladin fan but oathbringer is just pure epicness

indigo path
#

Yeah, I'm a Kaladin fan as well. ||Though I think ||WoR ||has the best individual moments and even better Kaladin moments for his character.||

#

||If you want Kaladin being a mental health life line for his Bridge 4 bros? ||The Way of Kings. ||If you want better character development for him as a person?|| Words of Radiance

#

||Kaladin, Dalinar and Adolin vs. Szeth was another highlight. I love how dirty and unrefined it gets. Dalinar stopping a slice from a Shardblade with his bare fucking hands. A literal clap. Then Kaladin takes it into his own hands and tackles this dude with his one available arm off a fucking cliff before fighting in the rain outside by himself.||

I remember thinking "this is the best anime I've ever read" when I experienced the series for the first time. I was convinced Sanderson watched a ton of Shounen before he created ||Surgebinding||

#

Get Studio Bones to animated ||Kaladin vs. Amaram||

#

Stormlight

copper phoenix
#

I had that same thought, it's just perfect

#

but I'd pick ufotable

#

for that extra flashiness

#

btw one of the funniest things to me is all the szeth fan art that's plagued with big anime eyes lmao

#

when it's simply because || he's caucasian and his eyes look big compared with ones with epicanthic fold ||

#

Yeah, his entire race ||is seen as childish looking with big eyes.||

A female doctor really shouldnt even be a problem in 2020 anyway. Like... hes a time traveling space alien that regenerates into any kind of humanoid form. What does the female function not work lmao

I wasnt dw lol

Okay okay

Oh but i can definitely say || the rosa parks episode couldve been better lol ||

brave orbit
#

I cant really say people didnt enjoy it for the different formula (because they already hated it since the first episode) but I think the lack of ||a mystery box was a good move|| although it kinda contributed to it being so unpopular

#

||Rosa parks episode is one of my favourites 😔 ||

#

||Episode 2 is probably the least favourite out of the ones you watched||

barren temple

I can understand that. Guess not much happened. I was kinda just thinking of it as an episode to get more accustomed to the new crew

the S5 ending

oh yeah, kripke wanted it to end at s5 but then got him to tweak it so they can continue without him when he leaves

I didnt watch past that although im curious

yes ends at 13, i skimmed 8-12 because why not

I still like some of the Supernatural episodes in the newest seasons and the characters are always fun to follow even after all these years. The problem, imho, is that each season is too long for the story it tells, so it becomes repetitive.

I never really thought of it as bad before some of the best stuff happened

Sometimes it can fall back into episodes where who tf knows whats happening because the writers would sometimes just do whatever they wanted

But thats kinda just mostly in the "filler" episodes later on imo

But in general when it slaps it slaps lmao

how you liking so far

wot is the only book that gave me the same sense of neverending adventure one piece did

I'm really fond of it

tulip garden
#

I'm really enjoying it so far. Rand's a very compelling protagonist to me, and it was super fun to see him finding out more about the world after leaving Elmon's Field in TEOTW. I enjoy all of the main characters as well, my favorite besides Rand probably being Perrin ||and his entire plotline with Elyas in the first book. For a solid while, that and Rand's travelling with Mat were what kept me hooked. I've seen a lot of complaints about the female characters in the series on boards discussing it, but I don't really have an issue with any of them. The Aes Sedai are secretive and manipulative, but they also have a massive burden on their shoulders, considering that Shai'tan is still lurking about. The concept of gender dynamics being flipped in their heads so-to-say at this point in this world's history because of the male Aes Sedai's fuck up was very interesting to me, and I'm curious to see how Rand's madness will develop, especially after the reveal about the Dragon Reborn.|| @copper phoenix

#

||Also, I'm at the chapter after Egwene and Nya arrived at Tar Valon for the first time, cutting back to Rand's travel with Loial and the Hurrin. Selena's sus man, I don't trust her.||

#

Also, Loial is a bro

copper phoenix
#

wot || oh man rand's journey is fucking epic, you can really feel the struggle of a simple farm boy carrying the whole world on his shoulders. If you're enjoying it now, you're in for a wild ride. Rand is my favorite but mat and perrin have solid arcs too. ||@tulip garden

I have some complaints of my own too but honestly it doesn't bother me as much

#

at some points I admit it I got annoyed by that but it's rare

#

the concept is really interesting and maybe the tv show will portray in a different way that might not be as annoying

#

we'll see

#

also I'd stay away from boards, wikis and etc

#

there is a lot of massive spoilers there

tulip garden
#

Yeah I've been told to never even google anything about the series

#

which was wise advice

#

Because I tried googling how old Nyv was when she ||proposed to Lan|| and one of the "other people also search..." results was ||'WHICH OF THE FORSAKEN DIES AT THE END OF BOOK 1?'||

#

which, granted, wasn't that far away from where I was, but c'mon man

#

bruh QueenKEKW

#

well I'm glad your learned your lesson

#

it's about time I do a reread

#

it's just that I need to clear some time

tulip garden
#

its quite the commitment

#

I'm looking foward to finishing the series before the tv-show comes out

#

so that I can have some insider info while watching it with my friends

copper phoenix
#

I think you'll have enough time, the first season apparently is only books 1-2

#

it's not confirmed yet, people are just speculating from the episode titles

#

but the first 3 books are some of the best in the series

tulip garden
#

I've heard, and I'm not surprised that books 1-2 are enough to supply an entire first season of the show

#

Thankfully the series is already finished so there's no chance of something like GOT happening again

copper phoenix
#

the problem is making a good adaptation

#

but I'm keeping my fingers crossed

@vapid marlin @true yew The Boro Breath reminds me of the recent Shin Godzilla atomic breath, have you guys seen?

true yew
#

show me

vapid marlin
#

Yesss

#

exactly

#

well not exactly, but it's reminiscent

#

I was about to post that exact link LUL

#

But yeah, the intensity is what I mean more there

#

I'd love if it went the same way

The only difference is his starts as more of a fire

God that movie was fantastic

love me some kaiju

I did Okama

#

I have to praise that one again, Shin Godzilla was pretty daring for the genre. It ended up being the Dark Knight of Godzilla movies because it tackled it in such a new and unique way

brave orbit
#

That movie was amazing

#

Hideaki Anno's direction is amazing

#

He always tries new stuff

#

||Having a godzilla movie about bureocracy is genius and pretty daring indeed|| Shin godzilla

#

||All of the new powers, the horrifying and creepy design and his evolution, and the way it ended on a cliffhanger that could've easily turned into a series or a small franchise was great||

brave orbit
#

Yea

vapid marlin
#

I liked shin godzilla, but I still liked the recent "King of the Monsters" better

vapid marlin
#

I'm only in it for the action, and it provided heavily

brave orbit
#

||Yea it marketed itself as a godzilla movie although Godzilla was a pretty background event for the sake of the plot and tackling bureocracy||

fading cedar
#

Yeah, the new King of the Monsters is the best so far for me. Was not disappointed by it, but I did hate ||how they kept off screening a lot of the fights||

vapid marlin
#

King of the Monsters ||I just loved that we had so many monsters. King Ghidorah was fucking awesome in that, the action was all really well done. For these movies I don't give a shit about plot really, but it serviced the movie. Just love the really good CGI for our favorite kaiju||

Godzilla: King of the Monster ||I never got people who went to these and complained about the plot. Honestly it wasn't even that bad of a storyline, it was just an easy one to hit, but it was right in line with Godzilla lore. The action was fucking fantastic, I'm so glad they didn't do the same thing as they did in the first movie and didn't even show the creatures until the end.||

Don't get me wrong, @fading cedar, I love KOTM as much as the next Godzilla fan, but I understand why people have issues with the plot. I don't think it's the most important aspect of that movie in particular, since the reason everyone is there is well, the monsters fighting, obviously, but stuff like ||the villain's motivations making no sense, the main characters being generic and unsympathetic with the exception of those who carried over from the previous movie, stuff like that mostly centered around characterization rather than the actual plot is clearly lacking.||

#

(I'm new to this server so I hope this way of st's where I only did the parts with actual plot details is fine)

#

Going a bit more indepth with my issues here; ||Stuff like the kid's mom big plan being essentially unleashing the Kaiju in the world so that they fix global warming and other environmental issues but then being too spooked when King Ghidorah compels the others to cause massive amounts of destruction instead. I understand that the big deal is that Ghidorah is specifically making them much more agressive and violence than they would be otherwise, but wouldn't the kill count still be in the millions regardless? The only reason 'co-existence' seems to work at the end of the movie, as far as I understood it, was becasue Godzilla showed up and whipped them all into shape, and I don't know if that would have happened in the first place if not for the Ghidorah conflict||

#

||So basically making this character who's responsible for what's potentially the biggest genocide in human history sympathetic and trying to give her a redemption arc by the end of the movie where she reunites with her family and sacrifices herself to stop Ghidorah and help Godzilla feels cheap and unimpactful. Don't get me wrong, as I said the final fight between them is awesome, but there's zero to none actual human connection to it for me because the circumstances behind it are so contrived. I feel like if they were going to do such a surface job on it they should have focused more on the monster fights, like in something like in GMK or final wars.||

#

Sorry if this is a bit rambly, tried making it concise but I just woke up lol

#

Godzilla KotM ||The conflict there wasn't that Ghidorah made them more aggressive and violent, it was that he unleashed everyone at once. Their plan was to awaken the Kaiju one at a time for a slow trickle into things, in order to send humanity back to the dark ages in a big way and let the planet heal itself from their footprint, while being able to control them somewhat with their device. Ghidorah took that and instead unleashed every titan on Earth and had them obey him because he was the Alpha. But also, the whole point of Ghidorah being there and invalidating the otherwise arguably accurate plan is that Ghidorah was an invader, not a Titan/Kaiju himself. He was an alien terraforming and ruining their world even further, which was never their plan there. Ghidorah was a mistake to awaken because they had no idea who it was or what it could do, but the rest of the plan made sense in a sad way.||

#

Godzilla KOTM ||Fair enough, I haven't seen the movie since release so I guess a few details were blurry to me, but my point that even if their plan had worked perfectly it would still cause untold amounts of chaos and destruction still stands, I think. I suppose you could say that this is overthinking a godzilla plot where it's only supposed to serve as a backdrop when I say that just taking them back to the dark ages by itself would probably lead to a lot of people dying because of stuff like medical conditions, the general acclimization to technology we've had, environmental changes, etc, but that mostly plays into my argument that despite monsters having a lot of screentime in KOTM, I wish they had more, and that they hadn't tried to make the dad-dude and his family dynamic the emotional core of the film, because it was a really big miss to me||

fading cedar
#

Godzilla KotM ||Yeh, their whole plan was to cause that untold destruction and chaos. But, to use an analogy, they wanted a controlled burn but got Pompeii instead. They plan was to destroy human civilization and force humanity into smaller clusters that can live side by side with nature, Ghidorah was threatening to wipe out everything and reform the planet entirely to its liking, doing far more damage than humanity ever did. That's why the plan was a concern, that's also why the head terrorist ridicules Farmiga's character for being concerned, since she was complaining about it but as far as he was concerned the plan was still on track.||

Yea I feel you

Still really liked that movie overall, it's a good time to be a godzilla fan

Yeah, I can't wait for Godzilla vs Kong

So hyped
