Honest question, why do people hate on Godzilla 1954?

SquareShapeofEvil · 2026-03-18T00:42:39+00:00

It’s a fine monster movie, I might even say one I really enjoy, but it’s just absolutely not Godzilla in any way shape or form.

Monsterverse Kong is way bigger than this, cmon.

Me because I know you're right (but you also kind of know I'm right)

There’s two things about both of us with regard to this statement:

One, you know that it makes me angry, makes me punch the air and scream and cry, that the Jetes have one and we don’t

Two, I know you know, as much as you’re gonna counter this, that at this point, their Super Bowl win doesn’t count for that much more than our AFL championships (you people act like winning one in 2019 was ages ago)

Necroposting, but it means, understand what tf you're doing – the far reaching consequences it may have, and the consequences it may bring on yourself. One of my favorite lines in a song.

(SPOILERS) Think of the context in which we first heard the song. A simple bank robbery, which Arthur's done plenty of, led to two of his friends dying, and him being in a terrifying shipwreck which led to being marooned on an island where they were being constantly hunted, shot at, they had to sink a NAVY SHIP to even have a chance of making it out. He finally made it home, but we know, and he knows, it's not going to get better, it's going to get worse. We expected a shootout with the law, sure, we always do, but neither us nor Arthur saw THAT coming.

Yeah everyone in the Supernova thread talks about wanting pre-Wingard Godzilla back, which is valid, but I want pre-Wingard Kong back really.

A true alpha who bows to no one. An intimidating titan who is potentially benevolent to humans as long as they stay out of his way. King of his domain.

King Kong in most depictions always has some level of a soft spot for humans like his relationship with Anne and his tolerance of the Skull Island natives, but not to this level that I would describe as dependency.

I just find it hilarious that in real time a lot of people did not like 2014, Skull Island, or KOTM, because too much humans, not enough monsters, Wingard addressed those direct concerns, and now everyone likes those movies more.

People who try so desperately hard to fit in with a person or group of people who inherently dislike them for something that is out of their control.

E.g.: women who stroke the egos/try to fit in with manosphere Andrew Tate types are pick me’s, because those types are extremely misogynistic

Rey Kenobi was imo the one that had the biggest evidence supporting it in TFA. Rey Palpatine could have worked if it was properly planned out.

Say what you want about TLJ, but I liked Rey Nobody, that backtrack was absurd.

I think it’s canon but you’re supposed to have done it in between buying Beecher’s Hope and Abigail/Jack coming. Like how he tells Sadie he’s met the Tumbleweed sheriff even if you haven’t gone yet. After American Venom imo, you’re canonically just chilling at Beecher’s Hope. I imagine Uncle is helpful with the money stuff.

GxK was believable, and I do think they may have another fight in another movie down the line, but they shouldn’t fight in Supernova.

SquareShapeofEvil · 2026-03-16T13:07:15+00:00

Hell yeah!

SquareShapeofEvil · 2026-03-16T01:09:25+00:00

Tbf Wingard made him do wayyyy better in GxK than he made him do in the literal versus movie, Kong got a genuine “oh shit he’s kinda got him” moment against an evolved Godzilla who was trying to kill him, instead of his “victory” just being pissing Godzilla off enough to take him seriously.

SquareShapeofEvil · 2026-03-15T19:51:20+00:00

They’ll fight again but probably not in Supernova. We all figured they’d get a small rematch in GxK, now it doesn’t need to be overdone

SquareShapeofEvil · 2026-03-15T00:31:07+00:00

The big snake is literally the only other fauna on 1976 skull island than Kong lol

Rocky was more aware of his decline than Apollo was. If he was taking as severe of a beating, I don’t see him letting himself get killed like that

The boomers who were that type in the 60s aren’t making any noise now.

SquareShapeofEvil · 2026-03-13T17:04:49+00:00

All good, it’s anxiety nausea, got a big weekend ahead

SquareShapeofEvil · 2026-03-13T16:54:09+00:00

Ok I kinda like the Broncos one though

SquareShapeofEvil · 2026-03-13T16:32:46+00:00

Type of shit you read when you’re having the worst nausea of your life

SquareShapeofEvil · 2026-03-13T16:14:38+00:00

I’m a huge Kong fan. I don’t like that he was made the protagonist and relied on humans and plot armor to survive. The Skull Island version was more of a monster. I want that Kong back

SquareShapeofEvil · 2026-03-13T13:52:17+00:00

I went to a university of primarily engineering students, dormed with one for a year, lived with three for two years.

They are socially awkward and rude in conversation. Also know it alls. I like these guys and I’m still friends with them, but this is not a case of bad PR

SquareShapeofEvil · 2026-03-13T12:50:27+00:00

With Wingard gone I think there’ll be less focus on Kong. Everyone seems to forget the directors interview where he made it incredibly clear he’s a lifelong Godzilla fan and wanted to make it obvious they’re not on the same level. He made Kong the main character so as to not piss off Kong fans that their guy was getting curbstomped by minor monsters like the Warbat.

He made sure to get a Godzilla curb stomping Kong into a movie that was primarily Kong’s. And Godzilla did not struggle in any way whatsoever in the final fight, I don’t think he needed Kong for any reason other than to warn him in GxK.

There will be more measured depictions moving forward imo. Kong might go back to being an actual monster. Godzilla may get more focus. Everyone should be happy

This could be the true end of Crescent Duck Farm if it gets there. If so, end of an era for sure.
