Talk:Japanese Godzilla Reboot (2016)/@comment-27208130-20141228054555/@comment-25285745-20150410191531

Just because iCGIlooks better in Hollywood films does not mean that it needs to totally replace Tokusatsu in Japan. CGI in Japan isn't as refined and far ahead as that of Hollywood, and Shinji Higuchi's work in the past shows that suits can still look convincing, especially when CGI is used as a supplement rather than a complete replacement.

Toho doesn't really have a reason to make a full CGI film. They have no hope of competing with Hollywood CGI and a full CGI film with Toho's budget, timetable, and resources would not look nearly as good as one using predominantly suits. Plus, suits are the defining characteristic of Japanese Godzilla films (and by extension all kaiju films). Taking that away and just mimicking Hollywood because of the idea that CGI simply "looks better" would be a major disservice to the entire genre.
