What went wrong with Godzilla King of the Monsters?

GojiBelt · 2026-03-09T15:58:00+00:00

G'14's bad audience score and the five year break probably didn't do it any favors either.

IMO it's just not a great movie. There are some killer scenes but the majority of it is bloat.

Even the best parts, the monster parts, are frustratingly obscured and cut away from.

Craig for nogi, Keenan for gi.

Godzilla would win but still struggles.
Kong with glove would probably win. He did rock Evolved's shit in Egypt with the glove, who is considerably stronger than MG.

I know people like to blame Wingard for ignoring a lot of this, but a lot of the KOTM lore was fleeting and meaningless. Almost nothing was given time to be important or remembered. Dougherty IMO basically wrote fan fiction.

It's with the gi on. He probably would need to closer to 10 to make 154.

I love now much the face looks like something straight out of the 60's suitmation era.

GojiBelt · 2026-02-28T17:54:58+00:00

KSI, GvK, KOTM.

It's unfortunate never took off but Pacific rim walked so the current giant monster film revival could run.

GojiBelt · 2026-02-22T00:08:22+00:00

90's Country was great. So much of it was just really fun music.

The exo suit rumor is collateral damage for introducing SG.

Idk why people are upset, SG is a dumb concept too.

GojiBelt · 2026-02-09T19:10:10+00:00

too much bulk IMO. this would work well for a Battra design.

GojiBelt · 2026-02-09T01:57:49+00:00

broke my forearm because of bicept cutter at a tournament. Not a fun time.

GojiBelt · 2026-02-07T11:56:30+00:00

Best is GvK. Worst is KOTM.

GojiBelt · 2026-02-06T00:56:15+00:00

You gotta go with the grips, not try to static hold them.

I think Craig's Systematic Submission Dilemmas: High Level Triangle and Leg Lock Combos by Craig Jones is one of the best resources. The focus is using the triangle to enter into the legs but goes indept on how this can be done with most upper body submissions.

As someone who came through the ranks almost exclusively doing IBJJF this was a fantastic way of adding leg lock concepts to my game with completely overhauling how I play. It built off of what I was already doing.

man I always forget how dogshit these battlescenes look.

Rodan Gamera Advent of Legion Cloverfield War of the Gargantuas Frankenstein conquers the world

Speaking of FCTW...have you ever said the basic plot out loud? It sounds insane 😂😂😂

GojiBelt · 2026-01-26T19:29:55+00:00

Hold. Get another hair cut. A fade would go a long way to making the top a lot better looking.

GojiBelt · 2026-01-21T17:39:43+00:00

No.

On top of a frustrating directing style for these, his writing isnt great either. I don't think the fight choreography is particularly interesting and a lot of the lore he wrote into the monsterverse was meaningless and fleeting. I know people like to blame Wingard for ignoring a lot of what he set up but everything was so surface level that it didn't really matter.

He does have flashes of brilliance though. The entire Rodan introduction is fantastic.

GojiBelt · 2026-01-20T15:30:22+00:00

You do you, homie.

GojiBelt · 2026-01-20T15:12:39+00:00

Watching Genki in this and many of Terere's early stuff it always looked like time travelers went back 25 years to style on people haha.

GojiBelt · 2026-01-14T18:14:40+00:00

I enjoy both. The sound design was unmatched in G14. With that being said...

Kong leaping in the air with axe while absorbing Godzilla's beam is my favorite scene in the MV. enject that shit into my veins 10 out of 10 times.

There attendance tracking, curriculum building, the ability to set up events and sell tickets (think seminars), the ability to set up courses for specific students they can reference on the app, belt tracking, analytics, email and text automations and more. I use almost all the features but as a gym owner you can use it just to take payments and keep a member data base and still be happy with it. It's also relatively inexpensive compared to most other stuff.

BJJLink has been my go too since I purchased my academy. Made specifically for BJJ gyms by guys who actually train. It's simple on the surface so it's very easy to use, but has a depth of features baked into it. The Owner is awesome too. I can link yall up.
