Talk:Japanese Godzilla Reboot (2016)/@comment-1418880-20141210211829

Can't they just wait for Legendary to finish it's trilogy? It's not that I'm not thrilled. This is great news! It means Godzilla isn't going away anytime soon, and that we'll still have something to look forward to while we wait for Godzilla 2. It's just that it's kind of weird to have two seperate film series being made about Godzilla at the same time. It might confuse some fans. Personally, I hope the.special effects are better than it's predecessors. One thing I liked about the Legendary Godzilla was the fact that you could tell it wasn't a guy in a suit. He looked less human and more like an animal. Plus this body was more detailed, and looked a bit more realistic. I actually found it hilarious that Japanese audiences were complaining that he was too fat? He's a monster, not a person. He was so thin in the old movies because he WAS just a guy in a suit back then. I'll always love the old films (in fact I just finished re-watching the 1954 film), but they were limited in what they could make the monster do and what they could show. I seem to recall multiple instances from the filming of the old kaiju films where the the guy in the monster suit was injured during filming. Plus the suits would deteriorate over the course of the years, and this damage would show in sequels. In this day and age, we can do so much more with the technology we have at our disposal. I hope the new film takes advantage of that. I also hope they don't change his appearance to much. I actually like his look in the Legendary series. Maybe they could incorporate some of the elements of his new look into this film's Godzilla. Whatever they do, I'm sure it will be a great film. It will certainly be something to watch while we wait for Godzilla 2. Thanks to those crappy Star Wars films, we'll have to wait four more years for the next Legendary film. Maybe that's one of the reasons Toho is going ahead with this film.
