GODZILLA PROMO HAT - 1998

[misscouchpotatobew]

The classic Virgin vs Chad applies to these guys. They are the same person but one of them is WAY better.

Godzilla Minus One tickets are now on sale for the U.S. and Canada, including for the one-night-only screenings in IMAX/other premium formats on 11/29. I was able to get some pretty good seats, but a surprising number were gone already, so in the words of the renowned scientist Dr. Niko Tatopoulos, GO GO GO

The director that I chose to write about is Roland Emmerich. Roland Emmerich directed and wrote Godzilla (1998). The film is about a nuclear test gone wrong and it mutates a lizard nest. Years later, a giant lizard makes an appearance in New York City. Matthew Boderick who plays the lead protagonist Dr. Niko Tatopoulos is an expert of radiation that affects animals and studies those animals. US government sends Dr. Tatopoulos to study the large beast. Based on the film, it was criticized by websites such as rotten tomatoes. Rotten tomatoes gave the godzilla film an audience score of 28%. One of the critics stated in their film review that the story line was pretty much bloated and slow, along with not having compelling characters. My take on the film is very much different then most takes. This particular godzilla film I have a lot of history with. When I think of godzilla films this is one of the films that I have grown attached to. As a child, I was quite fascinated with the film. But as I watch this film as an adult, I can understand how this film can be criticized. In most Godzilla and Kaiju films, the story has been mostly focused on the monster itself. However, some of the parts of the story include people finding ways to either help the monster with their fight against another monster or help the military stop the monster from terrorizing the city. I think what director Roland Emmerich tried to install in this kaiju film was give the people on the ground a major part in the story. He shows Godzilla terrorizing New York City but I feel like the story revolved around Matthew Boderick’s character along with other supporting characters. There wasn’t much of a kaiju feel to the film. Towards the end of the film, we see Godzilla emerge from a ruined Madison Square Garden to find over 200 children dying from fighter jets. Once Godzilla sees the humans, Godzilla chases them throughout the city until the characters trap Godzilla on the Brooklyn Bridge and thus killing the monster. There was a planned sequel or trilogy with the franchise but it was soon scrapped from the plans. Overall, the best way to make a kaiju film is to showcase the monster more and also balance out the story between people and monster.

There is one other Kaiju I would like to see in the Monsterverse. Even though I feel his debut film honestly deserves a lot of the flack it gets. Especially it's some sort of funny tragedy of what it is.

I honestly would like to see Zilla reimagined in the Monsterverse.

Yes the 1998 version of Godzilla. Or that's what Zilla was supposed to be until everything else happened.

Really I'm not the biggest fan of the 1998 film yet it's just so interesting to just look back at it. But over time the fans have accepted Zilla.

Including it probably be a welcomed come back for the character after years of flack and other stuff. Especially the infamous Final Wars scene between him and Godzilla.

Really again Zilla is a cool Kaiju. But it sucks of how the characters history was and....a lot know this. Again it be a comeback and making Zilla his own titan instead of a Godzilla would be something that might have more people accept the character more.

Yet I do feel the reception the character has is just very negative that no one wants to do that....unless Legendary decides to do the unthinkable and be, "Actually were gonna buy this Kaiju because we think he's perfect for our Monsterverse" with the people at Toho saying, "The fuck?"

I'm just saying what's on my mind. Despite what I think of the 1998 film. Zilla honestly deserves a chance. It be like some sort of redemption thing.

But the funny question would be if Dr. Niko "Nick" Tatopoulos is reimagined, will we hear the, "That's a lot of fish" joke again but this time someone saying, "No shit it's a lot of fish" to him. Especially will we get the most Frenchiest guys as well.

Again I'm not the biggest fan of Honest Trailers or whatever. But I love this video. Especially I got the French joke from this as well.

Dr. Niko Tatopoulus: Ah, that's not true. We fed him.
