What is with Godzilla 2014's obsession with the military? It was embarrassing. I was laughing my ass off at the skydive scene - why was that such a focus in a Godzilla film? Felt like a Michael Baby military-worship film.
What is with Godzilla 2014's obsession with the military? It was embarrassing...
gotta support our troops. unlike say avengers, where they dont exist for some weird reason
Many big budget action films from the time had a ton of not so subtle military worship in them.
Any Hollywood production that wants the cooperation of the military has to have its screenplay read by the Department of Defense, which has an office in L.A.
If the DOD rejects the screenplay, the producers have to get military equipment elsewhere or they have to change the script to suit the DOD's wishes.
Apparently an early version of the G14 screenplay had Godzilla fighting the US military and defeating them in a battle sequence. The script was changed so that the military wouldn't be portrayed in a negative light.
>from the time
This movie was barely 5 years ago.
Noticed it a lot more distinctly during the Obama years for some reason
2014 unironically told one of the best human stories of the series. I can't imagine how much better it would've been if they didn't kill Breaking Bad early on.
>2019
>not liking the military
do you think the military would not be involved with a big monster attack?
alot o fthe original godzillas had the japanese military.
youre just a faggot
If it were a military worship film the military would have won you fucking dunce.
Probably because he re-legalized overt propoganda
>2014 unironically told one of the best human stories of the series
You must be autistic or something. They might've been the most boring tryhard "dramatic" stock characters I've seen in this kind of movie.
Yeah? Of course they're gonna be in the film, fighting fucking Godzilla.
Skydive sequence was so fucking tangential and stupid. A complete waste of time away from the actual plot.
>not liking the most aesthetic sequence of the film
Godzilla 2014 was beautiful because it had scenes like the halo jump
The human bits minus the daughter were much better done than in 2014 all i can remember is how bland the military dude was in it like Sam Worthington or Jai Kourtney levels of bland.
>Godzilla 2014
>"beautiful"
Possibly the best scene in the movie. Sorry you couldn't appreciate it OP. Maybe try anime.
>2014 did well in the box office while KOTM bombed
>2014 is Certified Fresh on RT while KOTM is sitting at 40%
>Everything KOTM tried to improve on was actually done better in 2014
>2014 even had better monster scenes
Why is it that 2014 is just so much better than KOTM?
They do for a little bit in the first Iron Man, for Tony to sell missiles too. That's about it though.
You probably like the cinematics in video games too
It's an actual monster movie and not capeshit.
>critics savage first movie for having not enough godzilla and too much human
>critics savage second film for not havong enough humans and too much godzilla except now its even lower rated
>audience score for first film is 60 something percent
>audience score for second film is 90%+
critics are massive retards and so are you
It's been a while, but I think the armed forces stopped being in Marvel movies after a debacle involving Shield in The Avengers. Turns out they didn't like having an Shield be above them in the military hierarchy or something like that.
Audiences are capeshit-eating retards and you have no taste.
...
That scene was great. Also, why wouldn't the military be involved in the human fight against huge monsters? Who else is going to fight them?
KOTM was kaijukino. If anything 2014 ia more capeshit because the humans do more its a Godzilla film more godzilla is better unless youre a hack critic who cant keep their opinion straight between 2 films.
Easy way to have a proactive human protagonist in the movie. Military guy had an excuse to be able to easily be all up in Godzilla's business.
Iirc Military involvement in movies has to be cleared by the Military, they refused to be involved with Avengers because they thought SHIELD was fucking dumb and made no sense.
However they exist in Iron Man 2, 3, and Captain Carol.
If anything there were too many fucking humans in 2.
>they thought SHIELD was fucking dumb
Based military
>critics savage second film for not havong enough humans and too much godzilla except now its even lower rated
this is a cope. there still wasn't a strong enough focus on the monsters and the human shit was way worse which pulled more focus than a forgettable cranston. don't lie to shill
>If anything 2014 ia more capeshit because the humans do more
The actual logic of KOTM capeshitters lmao
>If anything there were too many fucking humans in 2.
It still takes like 30 mins or so to see Godzilla in KOTM and aside fron Larva Mothra most of the prologue is setting up the human elements the critcs hack opinions rung very hollow once again its as if theyre just trying to invent reasons to shit on kaiju without even keeping their opinions consistent between two films of the same franchise.
>If anything 2014 ia more capeshit because the humans do more its a Godzilla film more godzilla is better unless youre a hack critic who cant keep their opinion straight between 2 films.
KOTM is capeshit because of the lame quips and hamfisted ensemble cast writing. 2014 is much more serious and focused on a few characters instead of a whole team of monarch scientists
Im not sure if youre agreeing with me or not but i also found the critics bitching about the lack of humans in KOTM when there very well may be more. I do think ot was a tad more interesting in some parts, i liked alcoholic chad dad and Tywin Lannister more than bland military dude and his dad who dies in half an hour from 2014 but the daughter in KOTM was shit and really dragged the human element down.
>Godzilla kills MUTO by firing an atomic blast down its mouth
>Godzilla kills KG by firing an atomic blast up its mouth
How is he going to top it in the next six movies?
Except in KOTM the kaijukino is given much more screentime and the capeshit elements arent given as much focus as the capeshit in 2014 which makes up the bulk of the film until the climax.
This.
Also, the 2014 movie was KINO because the humans scenes weren't junk
>2014 - kino human scenes with minimal Godzilla scenes, good MUTO stuff though
>2019 - utterly irredeemable dogshit human scenes with 15 minutes of 10/10 kaiju kino
2014 wins, ultimately.
you don't need to include quotes in your greentext, friend. the greentext already means that you are quoting. welcome to Yea Forums! we are happy to have you here!
>Jai Courtney
which is funny because I think it's because most directors and writers just don't try
he was anything but bland and boring in Spartacus
hopefully rapes biollante
And 2 years ago men had penises and women had vaginas, a lot can change pretty fast
KOTM is totally ruined by the family bullshit, the action scenes too weren't consistent, they always cut back during the monster fight scenes to show the humans, it sucked balls and fuck it
i think you're trying to sneak in a compliment sandwhich because you have to. critics are retarded and the human element was forgettable in 2014, but kotm apparently thought it needed epic quips and a focus group writing it. 2014 was easier to stomach.
i dunno why people bother with non toho godzilla though
>totally ruined
i agree they werent the best but they didnt ruin the film by any means and were just the same as bland military man being bland i dont know where you get all this high drama from 2014 because after Cranston died it was just bland militaryfag
>action scenes not consistent
a fair criticism as well but we get a lot more kaiju action than in 2014 where its a 10-15 minute fight at the end meanwhile KOTM has nearly double that and it wasnt as if 2014 flashed to the humans too
Idk man i thought seeing the kaiju for a lot longer, having them more involved in the story and having the other big 3 come in was worth a couple shite jokes. Did you miss the part where alcoholix chad dad kept telling the quipsters to shut the fuck up every time they cracked a little pun the main character of the movie even acknowledges theyre annoying and i ended up liking him more for it.
Who do you think would be on the ground nearby giant monster attacks? Reporters?
it'd have been better if they just nixed all the quips. if you keep them in, you honestly believe you need them. adding a character to point them out is an extra layer of meta shit meant to hedge your bets. real lazy. movies are real, real lazy now. i don't even watch them anymore.
>All the quips
Just get rid of Glasses guy, all the worst lines were his and he doesn't add anything to the movie
>I drank alot because I wanted to channel Rick Sanchez for the character
Disgusting
They didnt add the dad for the sole purpose of shooting down quips he was the main character and telling the quipsters to shut up was just a side job to most of his screentime which was stopping the kaiju menace. I agree that most films would be better without the stupid MCU quips however KOTM uses them much more spareingly than marvel and the movie certainly isnt ruined over a couple of shite jokes.
The military is basically a religion in America.
im going to level with you i didn't even watch the movie. i just paid attention to the back and forth shilling and spat out a script cause im bored and housesitting. i haven't paid for a ticket since kingdom of the crystal skull.
Its really not any better onscreen. You aren't missing much.
Well i thank you for your honesty its rather refreshing. Kudos to you for such tenacity I only go to the theater maybe 1-2 a year but youre on a whole other level of "fuck you hollywood." If you have time to kill id reccommend KOTM its not a capeshit quipfest like these shills are saying theres no way one can call KOTM capeshit in earnest its kaijukino and if you kike kaiju youll like KOTM.
And it takes over an hour to see Godzilla in 2014
It’s called showing the scene and getting it over with not milking it for no reason lmao you redditor
Yet when its reversed and we see godzilla more often the critics just use that as a reason to give it a lower ranking - completely forgetting how it contridicts the not enough godzilla complaints from the first one.
Military givs gibs to studios that portray them favorably.
What a bunch of babies. Godzilla is *supposed* to wreck the military.
US military gives a lot of (tax) dollars to Hollywood
