Talk:Japanese Godzilla Reboot (2016)/@comment-27208130-20141228054555/@comment-11836-20150411171445

Pretty sure it won't be phased out. Just because YOU think it's outdated doesn't mean all other fans think the same. Super Sentai (and its Americanized version, Power Rangers) is still using the technique and it doesn't appear to be dying anytime soon.

CGI is a great tool, but it costs a lot of money to use and doesn't always look convincing. Toho's movie history has shown some very unconvincing CGI in their films. I don't know how much has changed, but Japanese Godzilla in CGI could be a disaster.
