    Mothra Leo is my favorite. the male son of Mothra. i loved the rebirth of Mothra trilogy. though i still love Mothra herself. also final wars Mothra survived, she returns to infant island as seen in the credits playing.

      that survival to the end is why I left it a bit ambiguous in the end, haha, wanted to see if anyone saw that.
      I love seeing people comment things like this, always makes me smile how passionate others are with the little details.

      @@MaxisAllosaurus i was wondering have you ever seen Gorgo or mighty Peking man? I think those are pretty interesting Kaiju movies where humans are portrayed in a very antagonistic manner. Aside from some of the human protagonists.

      I haven't actually, my kaiju knowledge is largely Godzilla-related.
      But, could be a good thing to look into

    Mothra is a nice contrast to the other kaiju in the series being a full on protector and being one of the few kaiju to stay mostly heroic throughout her time in film.
    The only other kaiju that has stayed as heroic as mothra is Gamera surprisingly enough.
    Monsterverse mothra is a nice addition and hope she gets more to do in the future. Monsterverse mothra is also cool in that she can use her web even in her imago form.

    • @MaxisAllosaurus

      I do like that she keeps the imago form webs, it makes a lot of sense, and you get some spiderman like clever usages of that power.
      Since in larval form, it's fairly useless and unimpressive in most forms. Though that's something of an effects limitation back in the day. It's also interesting to note, Godzilla, in the MV, actually takes a bit more after Battra in characterization, which I like.

      @MaxisAllosaurus another thing of note about monsterverse Mothra is I appreciate her role in gxk in that she plays support defense by defending the portal from the other apes to come in.
      The battle would be a bit more difficult for Kong and Godzilla if the other apes also went to Brazil so Mothra defending the portals made Kong and Godzilla job a lot easier.
      I also like she doesn't go out of her way to harm the other apes just webbing them up.
      The only kaiju Mothra actively seeks to kill if possible was Ghidorah and was aiming to stab him but was stopped by Rodan.
      The monsterverse does a lot of good visual storytelling with Mothra and the other kaiju.

      Exactly!
      It's beyond depressing to see people say the MVs writing sucks. The human writing sucks, but the monsters, are great.
      I don't know if it's a different writing team, or the VFX people are just that good.

      @MaxisAllosaurus their kaiju writing of the characters if nothing eles has always been on point for their major characters especially for Kong who I will argue has become the heart of the monsterverse and a great character

    • @MaxisAllosaurus
      @MaxisAllosaurus  Місяць тому +2

      Very much agree.
      As much as I want them to go back to the MV being more Godzilla's story, I can't deny the fact Kong's portrayal's gotten me to be more of a Kong Guy than I was before

    I've always liked Mothra as a character, but I never quite liked her design in general. Maybe I'm wrong, but most of her Toho designs look the same to me, none of them stands out and look quite bland. I've always been a firm believer of character designs staying true to their classics when updated, but, of all members of The Big Five that were introduced in the MonsterVerse (and Kong), Mothra was the only exception that desperately needed a massive overhaul. No longer a fluffy, stiff puppet but a mix of moth, wasp, and praying mantis with bioluminescent wings to really stand out as the best and most unique design of them all.
    This was my long, winded way of saying MV Mothra is my fav. 😆

    • @MaxisAllosaurus
      @MaxisAllosaurus  Місяць тому +1

      I can see what you mean on the looking bland, comparatively. To a degree, I can agree, but I also think a part of that is because of the much more fantastical designs of Godzilla's monsters.
      Largely why I love her MV look.
      Long take, but based.

      Agree with that, he's only been mostly glorified cameos from DAM onwards to KOTM, he had some good moments in vs Mechagodzilla 2, but still got beaten up, and was out of focus in KOTM
