So first I am new to these forums so Hi fellow Kaiju fans!!!

I just watched Shin Godzilla for the first time and for the first time find myself oddly dissapointed by a Toho Godzilla film. Story-wise it was great. The quick paced back and forth between events and the government's reaction was exactly how I had hoped the second Cloverfield movie would have been done. Godzilla's arsenal was great. The way his atomic breath charged from fire to beam was really well done and I was pleased by the scales firing off beams. The tail firing was a bit goofy though. Overall it was probably one of the best Godzilla films made except for one thing.

Those tiny hands, the split jaw, and that god awful evolutionary chain. Every iteration of Gojira before has had a great origin story. This one was in my personal opinion the weakest of them all. Even weaker in fact than Zilla's origin. I felt like I was watching a poorly designed pokemon evolve into a artistic but inferior Godzilla. Shin Godzilla? How about Thin Godzilla. What happened to the intimidating mass of muscle. This lean redish thing with a vampiric jaw is not what I grew up on. They went too severe with the redesign. Godzilla is already king of intimidation and might. A little red and a leaner look went too far off the mark in my opinion.
