#Godzilla Minus One
gleaming mural
I don't know if there are even that many spoiler things for the movie to be discussed but just in case
hollow oar
paper basalt
So glad we got a thread for my religion
sacred crow
Finally
fallen mango
This was my first foreign film I've seen in theatres and what a first one it was
Also my first Godzilla in theatres also actually
sacred crow
Okay now we need to group together and spam until Hiya toys makes a MO figure
fallen mango
I haven't seen a lot of Godzilla but from what I have seen, the way that atomic breath was handled here goddamn
All the other ones I've seen it's just LASER BEAM
hollow oar
the way it’s literally like. another nuke
sacred crow
This was a cool new take on the atomic breath
fallen mango
Here you actually felt the atomic part
hollow oar
like the way he blasts it and like five city blocks just fucking evaporate
sacred crow
It’s like it shoots an atom and then the atom breaks
hollow oar
and on top of that. mushroom cloud!
all the shots of him against the smoke
my god
goddamn renaissance paintings
also can we talk about that first scene when hes chasing them on the boat
the pacing of that shit was fucking horrifying
the way they barely start to move and then godzilla just slowly turns
fallen mango
All that ocean stuff gave huge Jaws vibes which is not a bad thing
hollow oar
and theyre just inching forward while he creeps behind them but theres still a massive sense of urgency
dusty lake
i do really hope we get something on whatever the fuck happened with noriko. cause like she got off way too light aftering being hit by the blast of a nuke. and there was also the shit on her neck
hollow oar
im so curious about whatever that is
maybe she’ll turn into a shin godzilla humanoid mutant 
dusty lake
i kinda assume she got hit by a piece of godzilla. since they mentioned there were pieces of it all over ginza
sacred crow
All that ocean stuff gave huge Jaws vibes which is not a bad thing
This movie definitely had Jurassic park inspirations. More dinosaur behavior
hollow oar
i liked mini godzilla just chomping down on ppl and yeeting them lmao
fallen mango
This movie definitely had Jurassic park inspirations. More dinosaur behavior
Yeah definitely felt JP inpirations also
hollow oar
also the music in this was so good
besides the obvious classic themes returning
whenever those bells and fucking hellish choir came in u knew some shit was ab to go down
fallen mango
Idk what it is but this was the first Godzilla film where the theme really stuck w me
Like I genuinely forgor how the theme went but I don't think that will be the case after this film
gleaming ledge
Godzilla kinda cute
gleaming ledge
when it first kicks in in ginza i had the biggest grin
Same. I’m not even like some crazy Godzilla fan but the theme is so good and fun
hollow oar
Godzilla kinda cute
gleaming mural
SOMEONE WAS SLEEPING HALF THE MOVIE IN MY THEATER
SNORING ASS MOTHERFUCKER
Luckily they left halfway through
Very good movie
sacred crow
Should’ve killed that guy
gleaming mural
Got close
dusty lake
I had a crying baby in my theater
Was quite during all the loud ass godzilla scene, cried basically every other scene
sacred crow
dusty lake
It was literally
hollow oar
someone in my theater had fucking infinite soda can glitch
i counted 4-5 different soda cans opening
sacred crow
Cans??
hollow oar
yeah 😭😭😭
sacred crow
Where did he get cans?!
hollow oar
mustve smuggled them in or something
sacred crow
That’s risky af. They could explode
hollow oar
babe can you grab my 6 pack from the fridge its crucial for godzilla
sacred crow
At least sneak in bottles. Better format
hollow oar
That’s risky af. They could explode
yeah they could explode when i fucking throw a bomb at him for opening 5 fucking cans during a movie
the sad part is it was just me and my friend before that couple appeared
sacred crow
And they didn’t even share
grand gorge
Before this film, the only Godzilla movies I’d seen were form the Monsterverse, and I felt there were mixed results there. Didn’t care for 2014, King of the Monsters seemed good, GvK was fine, but overall giant monster movies haven’t really been my forte. This new movie, Godzilla Subtracting One, might be my favorite film of the year. (Either that or GOTG3). It made me wanna go back and watch more Godzilla movies. So far I’ve seen the original (Japanese version of course) which was more serious than I expected and really good. Shin Godzilla I thought was fine overall, kind of a goofy look for Godzilla at first and weird editing, but the effects later in the film were really good. And Godzilla v Hedorah is bonkers but I kinda like that.
hollow oar
oh yeah a lot of the classic japanese ones get crazy
grand gorge
By the 1970s Japan considers Godzilla a superhero lol
sacred crow
Sometimes fun crazy, sometimes stupid crazy
hollow oar
son of godzilla noises
sacred crow
The dancing was worse imo
sacred crow
You hate his spawn!

Godzilla forgot to wipe
hollow oar
basketball commercial
grand gorge
Amazing
The ejector seat manuever is what I’ve been saying I wish they’d done with Finn on Crait in TLJ
dusty lake
I love that you can barely see Shikishima eject. Like bro is barely on screen for a frame
But, it was kinda obvious that they installed a ejector seat
sacred crow
Yeah I saw it coming
dusty lake
Alternative ending where he ejects a second later and slams into the roof of godzilla mouth
gleaming mural
The ejector was obvious, but the girl being alive surprised me
dusty lake
Tbh I wasn't really surprised she was alive, more so that she basically only had minor injuries
Then I saw the last scene and was like, ah she got hit by a piece of godzilla
gleaming mural
I like that the archetypes were really simple but very earnest and well performed
hollow oar
great cast
gleaming mural
Basically the whole movie, very simple in premise and messaging but extremely earnest and well done
hollow oar
i love when tachibana shows up and just whacks him over the head with a metal rod
sacred crow
She was yeeted too
dusty lake
I still think its funny that Minami Hamabe within a year went from being the female lead in shin kamen rider, to being the female lead in a godzilla movie.
hollow oar
so this is basically guaranteed a sequel thanks to its success right
i really hope so
dusty lake
I think it would get a sequel anyway. Worse godzilla films have gotten them
sacred crow
Can’t imagine this American popularity wouldn’t convince them of a sequel
hollow oar
it would be crazy seeing this godzilla fighting another monster
gleaming mural
I just hope he regens far enough in the future that this family can get some rest
hollow oar
idk ab that chief
gleaming mural
I will be upset if they have to fuck up a new Godzilla immediately
sacred crow
Mechagodzilla please 🙏
dusty lake
Tbh I get the vibe the next film will have mothra
gleaming mural
Just give them a few years please 😭
hollow oar
noriko’s wound mutates her into a monster to fight godzilla
hollow oar
i honestly am really curious what that was
sacred crow
Godzilla cucks him and steals their daughter
hollow oar
like obv shes infected w some godzilla radiation shit. but the implications are so ambiguous
sacred crow
I didn’t catch that
gleaming mural
I'm glad it wasn't a post credit thing it was just the ending
dusty lake
Yeah the mark on her neck was moving, and they stated after the ginza attack that pieces of godzilla were found all over the area. So I think its pretty clear she got a piece if it stuck in her during the blast
sacred crow
Would make sense if she got cancer
hollow oar
we need to phase out post credits until they’re special again
hollow oar
Would make sense if she got cancer
honestly would be funny(😦) if there are all these theories ab her having some sort of mutation or something and it turns out she just has like godzilla cancer
im honestly surprised theyve never gone that direction before
sacred crow
Or regular cancer. Either one would be a final fuck you from goji
Yeah I’d like a cancer metaphor Godzilla
dusty lake
I mean, I saw people saying she probably had radiation poisonings. But im also pretty sure radiation poisoning doesn't like, actively advance across your body like a parasite
hollow oar
shikishima cant have shit 💀
sacred crow
Maybe this one does
hollow oar
I mean, I saw people saying she probably had radiation poisonings. But im also p...
could just be a visualization to get the point across with the excuse being that its a special godzilla induced tumor or something
that feels the most likely
with this tone i dont see anything much crazier happening
sacred crow
Or maybe fast forward. Akira is the star
gleaming mural
She turns into one of those Mothra fairies or whatever
hollow oar
do u mean akiko
hollow oar
She turns into one of those Mothra fairies or whatever
would be based
dusty lake
I think it would be shitty though if they actually gave noriko cancer or some shit though. Considering the actual themes and shit of the movie is on how valuable life is and giving Shikishima hope
hollow oar
mothra in this continuity would be kinda sick
gleaming mural
Maybe she can like talk to Godzilla somehow now
sacred crow
Maybe she could be telepathic in general
gleaming mural
Then she's able to find a way to bring him peace so he retreats on his own
I'm really trying to find a way for this to end without more death 😭
dusty lake
If this was any other continuity. I'd say she'd be a pilot for mecha godzilla. Considering some of the more notable ones in the past have had some kind of connection to godzilla
hollow oar
she sits godzilla down and shows him godzilla vs megalon, turning him good and based
sacred crow
godzilla please stop this isnt you 🥺
hollow oar

the doctor builds wooden mechagodzilla
which reminds me i like that they carved a little wood dinosaur for the plan demonstration
sacred crow
Plan?
dusty lake
But also, I think they've set it up enough that if mecha godzilla does happen. Shikishima will probably be the pilot
hollow oar
did anyone else think they were gonna lift the curtain and reveal the oxygen destroyer 😭
dusty lake
I really do love how creative the plan to kill godzilla was. Like it obviously doesn't work. But I give them credit attempting something unique
sacred crow
You ever seen styrofoam dragged underwater? Horrifying
hollow oar
godzilla being dragged down and then instantly going dark was so freaky
the way he crumbled and the beams of light shot out of him was so cool too
gleaming mural
I loved that effect
sacred crow
If he wasn’t Deadpool powered, he might not have survived
hollow oar
i love when godzilla is just a fucking freak and has super different characteristics
gleaming mural
I also love how he really still kept that force of nature element
grand gorge
I have a #ChillDebate
Saw a post by someone saying people should not compare the different versions of Godzilla
sacred crow
Why not? 
grand gorge
And while I do agree people should stop punching down on the people who like certain versions, I think it’s silly to just not compare at all
hollow oar
i mean in principle i get it, i personally dont feel the need bc they’re all unique. but it kind of begs comparison sometimes lol
grand gorge
Like fandom rivalry is stupid. But comparing and contrasting to explain why you might prefer one over the other, without insulting other fans, should be fine
hollow oar
its weird to just outright say people shouldnt have those kinds of discussions at all
sacred crow
hollow oar
mfs gatekeeping talking ab godzilla now 😭
grand gorge
It has shades of “just love all SW movies/shows and don’t compare”
sacred crow
Do not ask questions, or we put you in the bad opinion jail
dusty lake
I also love how godzilla was originally just a freaky, but largely peaceful dinosaur before getting nuked.
Like bro just wanted to vibe in peace with his island boys
gleaming mural
That first reveal was the scariest part for me
gleaming ledge
Vibe in peace with his island boys.. while eating them
dusty lake
Nah, the novel of the film confirmed he vibed along side the people of odo Island
He was basically a local deity for them
grand gorge
I wasn’t so sure about Godzilla’s overall look at the start, but when he showed up again in the water later, from that point on he looked amazing
dusty lake
The boat chase is legitimately one of the best set pieces in a godzilla films
grand gorge
Also when he died and the beams shot out of his body I couldn’t help thinking of the dragons in Skyrim lol
gleaming mural
It was all very well balanced in terms of stakes and plausibility
hollow oar
you know what i love ab this movie’s depiction of godzilla itself? it really makes you realize just how scary godzilla is conceptually. like there are versions of godzilla that are probably creepier in design like shin, but with this one you really take it all in. like eventually the citizens stop running and are kind of just in awe of this fucking impossible thing. it doesnt make sense why hes so big, so indestructible. unlike say shin who is literally just vomiting out its pain theres no reason he destroys things. his fucking atomic breath is highlighted so well. they kept cutting back to the citizens looking in horror and all i could think was, fucking me too man 😭
hollow oar
The boat chase is legitimately one of the best set pieces in a godzilla films
i love how sluggish it was
so creepy
grand gorge
Yeah this is the first time I actually found Godzilla terrifying
grand gorge
And the aftermath of the bombings hit harder than any post apocalyptic movie I’ve seen
sacred crow
One thing I thought was funny is Godzilla seemed to have a grudge in the first city attack. Like the buildings killed his dog
dusty lake
also the actual atomic breath build up is godly. They knew the alignment and delivered
grand gorge
Just seeing the conditions people lived in and what the ey lost
hollow oar
who the FUCK put this BUILDING HERE AAAAAAA
dusty lake
gleaming mural
I really like that he's almost intelligent feeling
hollow oar
gleaming mural
Like there's something weirdly personal about it all but he also is acting so animalistic
hollow oar
theres so much ambiguity to how he acts and i love that

I think this is a moment where I could tell it’s green screen but I loved the commitment to the performance
hollow oar
although, and this isnt a fault of the film or anything, there was one moment when his head was following the plane that he looked just like yoshi and i was just like awww 😭
dusty lake
Also the people filming godzilla were so fucking dedicated. I fully respect them for standing there while watching it destory everything around them
hollow oar
that was a nice parallel w the original

It was definitely an homage to- yeah that

Finally, representation
gleaming mural
I do like the original version of that more
hollow oar
i think the really just somber drawn out gloom of that scene in the original really helped
but i liked the chaos of this rampage too
dusty lake
YOOOO they just announce a black and white version of the film
hollow oar
sick
grand gorge
Snyderize let’s go
hollow oar
personally i liked the colors a lot tho
sacred crow
Snyderize let’s go
This at least has a reason
hollow oar
can i just talk about how much i love watching movies that are like. well color graded. and well lit. and actually look like movies
esp blockbusters bc thats especially rare for those nowadays
gleaming mural
The lighting on the island at the beginning 🤌

I also love how much damage godzilla takes. Like actually giving a physical reason as to why it cant spam atomic breath
sacred crow
Well he’s gotta hold still to get enough propulsion
dusty lake
People question how godzilla can stand upright in the water. And I think the answer obvious
Its those fucking thighs
Goddamn
sacred crow
I assumed he was padding
hollow oar
I also love how much damage godzilla takes. Like actually giving a physical reas...
and its honestly creepy when he goes limp or sinks and then comes back seconds later
when they first blow off half his face and he’s effectively dead and it just. reforms like nothing
gleaming mural
I love when the plane is getting close to him he has like these brief quick lunges
Like he still has that instinct to move quick but his body isn't as capable anymore
sacred crow
“Shoo”
dusty lake
I honestly love characters who really have kinda low durability. But have a healing factor that basically makes any damage pointless. Let's you do absolutely fucked up shit
gleaming ledge
Nah, the novel of the film confirmed he vibed along side the people of odo Islan...
Interesting. Thanks America for the nukes, Japan would’ve been so boring then

Ahhh it was fucking great
Should I ask the theatre for a poster
Since it’s the last showing
safe nymph
His roars and the theme song shook the fuckin' seats.
I do find it kinda cool that his roars weren't just the original roars
They kinda played around with the sound. It's pretty neat
hollow oar
yeah i love the classic roar but the audio quality is so dated it sticks out like a sore thumb in modern uses
they made it sound good again without just entirely changing it
safe nymph
The only thing I'm somewhat torn about is the ending
hollow oar
godzilla was also a little torn by the end of it
safe nymph
I am glad that Koichi got a happy-ish ending, but... I dunno, a part of me wishes that there was a more bleak ending.
I think it works really well though, so I'm not complaining
sacred crow
You missed our discussions yesterday, about cancer being an element in the possible future
safe nymph
Though, I am not really sure how to feel that they teased that Godzilla isn't dead.
safe nymph
It was hype af seeing him heal up, but... I dunno, I kinda wish that they kept it vague
sacred crow
Well once you introduce the healing factor into the situation, there’s always gonna be that question of “are they really dead?”
safe nymph
Overall though. 2nd best Godzilla movie. Right behind the original
Shin Godzilla is 3rd
I know there were a ton of great moments in the movie, but this might be my favorite moment in the whole movie
hollow oar
cant get over that scene man
safe nymph
I know it's like... the least important bit of dialogue in the movie, but... It's just delivered so well
