      Gollum crossed the bridge of Khazad Dum before them. He ran when the orcs ran. And he's REALLY good and finding his way around caves, mines, and dungeons. In gamer terms, Gollum has Infravision and Sense Evil. He got ALL the way tf out of Moria as fast as he could.

    So I feel what happened in monsterverse is that They saw the old Showa Era Godzilla films or maybe the Hanna Barbara animated series and came to the conclusion Godzilla = Guardian of earth like Gamera. However, Godzilla didn't become like an actual Hero in the Showa Era until the ending of it. The only films in that era where he is the hero are: Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla, Godzilla vs Gigan, Godzilla vs Megalon, Terror of MechaGodzilla, That's about it in the rest if he's fighting another monster it's usually a territory dispute rather than wanting to save people. In the Heise era he was literally the villain for the first few movies and then only stopped the other monsters in later movies because there were a threat to him and his adopted son. Millennium series is a mess and he's the villain for all of it except Final Wars where again he's only fighting the enemy monsters to re enforce his title of King of the Monsters.

    Speaking of films that scarred you as a child, I had two: The Trollenberg Terror, with a "crawling eye monster" that tore people's heads off (it was the "tore" part that freaked me out, even though you never saw it on screen); but even before that there was a scene at the end of a horror movie very like the finale to The Last Crusade in which a man aged a hundred years in seconds; that one gave me actual nightmares and had me too terrified to turn the lights out; can't remember the title, but it was remade by Hammer some years later although not as well. (And as a grown up, it has to be The Thing; watched it on telly with my brother and when the break came for News at Ten - remember those days? - neither of us would go into the kitchen to fix our usual snacks because it meant going via the darkened dining room to get there.

    Regarding fallout retconning New Vegas: maybe. At the very least, they have changed the timeline because the NCR was the dominant power on the west Coast at the time of the game (about 10 years prior), but the show claims that their capitol was bombed out of existence before that. Furthermore, the West Coast chapter of the brotherhood of steel was greatly diminished by the time of the game with only one bunker out near Vegas left since the NCR had effectively defeated them in a costly war. There are some narrative ways to claim that maybe this is supposed to be a different chapter, but regardless the timeline directly contradicts the game. The end credits scene showing the New Vegas skyline and implicating the setting for season 2 will also force them to either establish a canon ending to the game, or erase it entirely.

      The context in the show was the cadet was chosen for promotion the day before; wake up in the morning to hear them screaming, pulling their foot out of the boot covered in blood; main guy goes to help them with the nurse and poking around the boot he finds a shiny razor embedded in the side.
      The injury itself I could see happening; what's weirder in the show is that everyone seems oddly nonplussed about it. Main guy is suspected of placing the razor in his buddy's boot out of jealousy; and without confirming or denying he admits "I wanted it to happen", and the commander hearing all that decides on the spot to give main guy the promotion instead; after clearly seeing red flags that the guy's untrustworthy and didn't even deny a crime he's suspected of (it later turns out he didn't do it, but still). Everyone's just _fine_ with the whole thing, which I thought was weird.
      And it's not like it's a favoritism thing; the main guy who was suspected AND got the promotion anyway is one of the most underachieving least popular members of the whole class.

    Actually, if memory serves me, the OG Godzilla was a threat to Tokyo, and was dealt with. But, the Japanese folk loved him so much that, afterwards, Godzilla became a defender of, and champion FOR Tokyo, and was kicking the crap out of all the OTHER monsters that were bad guys. He still teamed up with some, like Mothra, but for the most part, he was always on the same side as the people of Tokyo/Japan.

    I watched the whole of the Fallout show and agree with the drinker that it isn't that bad, but I feel it's ok as a standalone show rather than something trying to use the story and lore from the games. Also you have to remember who wrote this, it's the same people behind Westworld. And The Ghoul is almost a copy of the Man in Black, has a very similar arc and the way he is built up using flashbacks to a time when he wasn't "the bad guy". Also in how he induces the change in the female protagonist.
    Lucy is basically the Lisa Joy insert, she is the Dolores character. Maybe there is an arc and she isn't a girlboss, but if it follows the same pattern as Westworld, she is going to get to "boring girlboss" territory in the next season. They have basically recycled the characters from their other show.

      @kityhawk2000 Місяць тому

      Dude you are really reaching here. The Man in Black was nothing like the Ghoul. The Ghoul is still looking for his family, he still wants to be a father. The Ghoul acts the way he does because because he was brutalised by the Wasteland The Man In Black acts the way he does because of choice. Also Lucy is nothing like Dolores, it was only her memory being reset that kept Dolores happy and optimistic as soon as the end season 1 of West World happened she became a brutal merciless killer and instrument for revenge. Lucy does not take revenge on the people who wronged her even when she has the opportunity (eg with the Ghoul and her father), she maintains her values and refuses to let the Wasteland corrupt her, that's the exact opposite of Delorous.

    :P I would argue that GxK isnt shit. A movie I would call shit, is something like Transformers 2. Obviously Im a Godzilla fan so Im probably a little bit bias, but I dont think GxK is even close to as bad as Transformers 2. GxK is dumb for sure, and it has a lot of silly stuff going on, but it could be a lot worse. Now could it be better? Maybe. But it would take a monumental effort. G14 is the closest we will get to that. By its nature, a giant monster movie is goofy. Unless its trying to be a horror, or a drama like Minus One, it will always come off as goofy. Because it is a movie version of you smashing your monster toys together. If the move is a human drama, and you want it to be taken seriously, you cant have giant monsters fighting in a big brawl. Those two things cant really co-exist.
    You might say, "But Minus One had good human characters" and your right. But Godzilla wasnt the main focus of the movie now was he? The focus of that movie was to tell a human drama, and it just used Godzilla as plot device for that story. The move wasnt about Godzilla fighting another monster, it wasnt about a monster brawl. As soon as the main focus of the movie becomes the monsters, it can no longer have a deep and complex human element. Because if it did, that would pull focus away from the purpose of the movie, which was the monster fights. You can have decent humans, that service the plot and arent a nuisance to deal with, but thats about the best you can do.
    It comes down to what is the movies goal/purpose/tone? Lets look at Alien and Aliens. Both are great movies, but they are very different from each other with different goals. Would you call Aliens a horror movie? No, its an action movie. It does have some horror elements, but at its core its an action movie. Would you call GxK a drama? No, its a giant monster brawl movie. Now if you took Aliens and amped up the horror element in an attempt to make it more of a horror movie, then it would cease being an action movie. Its the same for Godzilla. As soon as you amp up the human element, it will cease being a monster brawl movie. So in essence, the humans have to be a little bit shallow in a monster brawl movie, because they are not the movies main concern. Once the humans do become the main concern, ie: extremely good human plot, it ceases to be a monster brawl movie. What you guys are asking for, is a good human drama AND a monster brawl, and they just cant happen in the same movie. They are water and oil. Try to imagine Minus One, but with Godzilla fighting a giant ice breathing dragon, and a giant monkey with a power fist glove. The human drama part of it starts to fall away once you add in those things. It just doenst work. It probably can be made to work, but it would require a masterclass of a script.
    If youve managed to read this far, thank you. I do enjoy your content. I just felt like I needed to explain why its a bit unreasonable to call GxK shit, when its really objectively not. Dumb yes, shit not. You have to take into account what the movie is trying to do. And in the case of GxK, its just trying to be a fun monster brawl movie, which it succeeds at.
    ---------
    Also you guys keep mentioning Pacific Rim as an example of a movie that has good monster fun, and good humans. You should watch it again. I saw Pacific Rim in theaters, and I quite enjoyed it. Then I watched it again fairly recently, and almost hated it. The humans were not great and cliche, those two scientists were so obnoxious they almost ruined the movie, and it was a lot dumber then I remembered. The point is that most if not all giant monster movies, where the main focus is the monsters fighting, are silly in nature and have a less then stellar human element.

      Godzilla essentially have 2 branches: The original type and the Showa shows type. Minus one is pretty much a remake of original (with the MC surviving instead of killing himself), but it was the Showa monster-fight serie that really made Godzilla a household name.
      The human drama was used to pan out the run time since monster fight is expansive to film and they simply don't have the budget to do it for the whole movie, and Japanese was used to it as its how Ultraman series works too. The human characters are intentionally made ignore-able so the audience won't care about them being dead or not.

    • @ZillaTheTegu
      @ZillaTheTegu Місяць тому

      @@hinugundamB There can be a merging of the two branches, I feel like G14 is good example of that. However you are correct, what made Godzilla King of the Monsters, was him fighting other giant monsters.
      At its nature, a monster brawl movie has to be more in the "not super serious" leaning. You cant have giant monsters fighting in a city, destroying buildings and blasting each other with lasers, and be serious. Because if it was serious then it stops being fun, because realistically a million people just died. Death on that scale is just not fun, but thats what the movie is trying to be, fun. So the movie has to be a bit goofy, or else it would be tragic.
      What I feel like gets lost to a lot of critics, is that fans can enjoy both types of branches.

    There's actually some truth to the claim that fallout fans (broadly) can't be appeased: hardcore purists of the original, pre-Bethesda games pretty much reject everything from Fallout 3 onwards. New Vegas is itself a polarizing subject due to the fact it was actually made by Obsidian rather than Bethesda, and by most metrics is the best of the "modern" entries, which is something that Todd Howard and Emile-something (the writer) have been salty about forever. I also recall Fallout 4 pissing off a bunch of Fallout 3 fans mainly due to the evolution of the brotherhood of steel. Fallout 76 is also largely rejected by a huge swath of previous title players for a wide range of reasons.

I would have been more concerned about Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn in the new Joker movie than Lady Gaga, because Margot Robbie would have brought exactly the wrong vibe to a film noir version of the DC Comics. I think a Star is Born was a good example of her acting, but American Horror Story: Hotel would be a better comparable to what she would bring to the Joker.
