It’s sorta like adding a Golden age style Batman movie to the Matt Reeves series (not saying that the Monsterverse has to be serious, just consistent with the semi realism that they’ve set up). At the end of the day though, I just hope GxK isn’t as bad as the first trailer makes it look. Drastically changing something that isn’t broke instead of fixing what is, isn’t necessarily going to slide well with many people who hold the Monsterverse near and dear to them, and saying that “oh, you loved Minus One yet you don’t like what they’re doing to the Monsterverse?

Unfortunately, it isn't a serious movie.

Oh for God's sake. Godzilla is a versatile character, he can be scary and serious or goofy and fun. Just because Minus One is the most globally successful recent Godzilla film shouldn't make it the end all be all of what the character should be. He could be a defender of nature fighting a menagerie of monsters in one movie and be an allegorical mutant monstrosity in another. There shouldn't be an either-or at all with this conversation, even just looking at his film history shows that he's been flexible in his role for decades, yet people are ignoring everything else but the first film, the monsterverse, the recent Toho films, and the 1998 film. What about the rest of the Showa era, which sure can get goofy but still has a swathe of iconic moments and can occasionally have compelling human stories? Or how about the Heisei era which by comparison is far more serious and grounded despite the ridiculous things thar happen in it? Or the Millennium era which had a wide variety of tones? How about acknowledge that 99% of the films in those eras were made by Japanese filmmakers and it isn't necessarily an American idea for Godzilla to be action orientated? Hell even actual Godzilla fans don't care if he's portrayed as a villain or a hero. Because unlike other fictional characters like say Superman... *he's not a person.* When Superman kills someone or turns evil it's fundamentally wrong, but if Godzilla does that the fandom doesn't give a sh*t. They won't even if he's written as friend of humanity either... It's Godzilla, he's cool, _The End._ *Godzilla can be whatever, just accept that.* I hate going on rants but when a bad take is a REALLY bad take I can't hold it in...

Wasn’t expecting this channel to hate on the awesome Monsterverse. This channel just went down a peg in my book.

Personally, I’ve always been a fan of both the Toho and American Godzilla films (yes even the 98 film), but I can’t help but feel that the divide between what people want and what the films showcase is caused by expectations, biases, and differences in terms of how people perceive the character of Godzilla. The Reiwa era has been more experimental with their approach on Godzilla, focusing more on exploring different facets of the character in new ways that still feels familiar, while the MV in America is an up-to-date depiction of Godzilla as he’s culturally seen. Both of these approaches are valid in reinterpreting Godzilla, but the subjectivity of which one people like more is influenced by personal tastes.

Saw minus one the day it came out and again with my partner. Americans took the god out of Godzilla. The 2014 Zilla film is trash. It took the best actor Bryan Cranston and killed him almost immediately taking all of the emotional weight out of it. Then you have the "protagonist" pretending like he's going to do anything then just cowers anytime Godzilla is on screen, lame. The original 1954 Godzilla film was horrifying at the time because it was an allegory for nuclear war and a sobering reminder of the Hiroshima bombing, that America did. I have no time or care for America's bastardization of an important part of Japanese culture.

That’s not good for people like Nerdstalgic apparently :/

Top Gun Mavrick isn't really saying anything deep and yet I don't see anyone trashing on that film.

While I certainly elevate films like Minus One and Shin over the Monsterverse films, you will never catch me going as far as saying that the Monsterverse is bad because it tries to blend the camp that the series has been known for with a sense of realism. Would we all like a more thematically impactful Monsterverse film in GxK or further installments? Sure, but if anything, Legendary and Toho are giving Godzilla fans the two sides of the characters that we love; the serious allegory, and the goofy triumphant hero.

‘The Monsterverse is the equivalent of Michael Bay’s Transformers’ That’s a low blow.

Or that there's a clear delineation between "smart" and "dumb" Godzilla movie and pretend that many of them don't tread a middle ground.

@@davidostapenko2578 why you talking about yourself

I really really disagree with what should be done with the Monsterverse films. AS a Godzilla fan and i can see why you would as a film fan but here's why. The first two did try to take things seriously but it was all still serviceable. They weren't perfect. KoM gets lambasted because of that but people dont ever realize how much of the movie is a love letter to the franchise. There is a lot of call backs to Godzillas history. But also all of the monsters they show are treated with respect and are true to their original counter parts. They could have easily dismissed Ghidorah being an alien but they didnt. I love the movie because of the love it has for Godzilla. As a movie? Sure its not the best but I adore it because of the respect and adoration it has. Every Godzilla movie before it always had eh human stories. Thats not an excuse but rather doesn't make it less than the others. EVERY Godzilla movie (yes including 98) at least brings something of value to the table. I dont think the legendary films should be serious in any capacity. I think they need to double down on it being stupid, silly and bashing monsters together. The Toho films are filling the void of telling a compelling story with Godzilla. We don't need to sets of films doing the same thing. Godzilla X Kong seems to me to harken back to the showa era. When Godzilla was aimed at kids and did stupid shit like drop kick a giant bug with a robot man. Those movies are so fun because of how absurd they are and how much personality there is to them as a result. And the legendary films should be a modern version of that. Ditch the human drama and focus on the monsters. With seeing Godzilla run with Kong, it feels like that will hopefully be the plan. So i don't think Godzilla has a problem. Rather how people perceive Godzilla is. Godzilla is versatile. He can be a metaphor, a hero for kids, a movie monster like that of Michael Myers or a back drop for a drama. He doesnt need to be pigeon hold into one specific thing.

Toho likes to make Godzilla a villain while the Monsterverse like to make Godzilla a hero or anti-hero. I like all Godzilla movies, I don't pay attention to dumb stuff or I just don't see it, I like seeing monster action and fights.

NOBODY understands that even the sillier movies, yes, even the Monsterverse, had just as much to say as the serious films and understands EXACTLY who and what Godzilla is and was. NOBODY understands that Godzilla can and has made both sides work well (I.E King Kong vs Godzilla (1962) for silly, and Godzilla Mothra And King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack (2001) for serious), and poorly (Godzilla's Revenge (1970) for silly, and The Godzilla Polygon Trilogy (2017-2018) for serious).

without the Monsterverse you wouldn't really have Shin or Minus One. Both in the way it revitalized Godzilla in pop culture and since Toho didn't want to be redundant they chose to go with more prerstige standalone movies. There were even some minor homages to MV Godzilla in Minus One

KZreadr D Man1954 just put out a great video today that sort of highlights this topic and the lessons people have been taking away from Godzilla Minus One. In short, not every Godzilla movie needs to be as serious as G-1.0. It's a versatile series with 70 years of putting out serious think pieces and fun campy movies. It's why the character is as beloved worldwide as he is. The Monsterverse is fine doing what it's doing. I love myself a deep, meaningful metaphorical movie that stays in my head for a long time... and I also like monsters punching the crap out of each other. Both can work, and the Monsterverse stays true to respecting the character and legacy of Godzilla.

@@ogfortify7674 a few movies getting praised and actually being good doesn't mean most people accept godzilla now as being something that entails nuance like any good movie. Plenty of people still see monster movies as being films made more for spectacle with at best having some cool themes at times, not as actual movies with interesting, memorable characters, and good writing. Most american audiences, even audiences in Japan still don't see monster movies as being something that can have a lot of nuance in them. I used Jurassic Park as an example because it's something that is inherently made to be something a bit serious due to its themes about man's hubris, just like what godzilla started out as. What I'm saying is, godzilla is suppose to have nuance and be a bit serious as opposed to silly and hokey. Many people have basically misinterpreted what godzilla was for decades now, and still do.

King Kong vs. Godzilla was a satire about the state of Japanese television in the early 1960's. Godzilla vs. Hedorah had a straight-forward message about Japan's pollution problems in the 1970's. Even one of the most maligned films, All Monsters Attack/Godzilla's Revenge centered around a latchkey kid and the bullies he dealt with (something that was common at the time). A lot of films in this franchise have more to say than just being "action figures" bashed against each other like you imply most Toho films to be. Even if they don't, some are well written and enjoyable on their own merits. This video is a bad take if I ever saw one based on that factoid alone.

You messed up this time Nerdstalgic. That's what happens when you think you can have big opinions on any topic that you so please

The argument of having a grounded family drama and goofy monsters fighting can't co-exist in a franchise, yet praises marvel, kind negates the argument, marvel is dumb fun but also serious.

Such a horrible trend

It's almost like they're talking out of their rears.

What video essayists aren’t understanding is that Godzilla is extremely versatile. He can be a malicious God, a stand in for a metaphor, or fight with King Kong for a hot minute to cool off. There are more Godzilla films than the Original 1954, Shin, and Minus One. There’s also a great many Godzilla vs. movies that have something to say! Mothra vs. Godzilla, Godzilla vs. Biollante, GMK, Godzilla vs. Hedorah, etc. At the end of the day it depends on what the filmmaker and their team to make it all work. G’14 did a fantastic job rebooting the character and making him a force of nature, the only issue is the characters (outside of Bryan Cranston) weren’t fleshed out enough. The only good thing about these video essays is that they’re bringing the Godzilla Community together, lol.

Critics keep wanting every Godzilla movie to be like the original or Shin, when the big guy has RANGE. He can be an unstoppable force of nature OR an unlikely ally against a bigger bad. That's the beauty of Godzilla; it doesn't always have to be so deep.

There is a Godzilla movie for everyone and that’s why the franchise is so popular, if every movie was like g54 and m1 then the franchise would be long dead

The same argument goes for G '14. I like that movie, but if every installment in the MonsterVerse was just like that film, it'd get boring and stale. Why do you think the Snyderverse fell apart? If anything, the Heisei Godzilla series really hit the right balance of having really out there plots that were surprisingly played completely straight.

I gotta say, I usually like your videos but this one is missing the mark. I don’t think you truly understand Godzilla. And I think if you ask most Godzilla fans what their fav of the legendary movie is they wouldn’t say Godzilla 2014

Showa Era lasted almost 20+ years and it wasn’t till 1985 that Godzilla got serious again if Monsterverse wants to be goofy let it we Godzilla fans love it, in time Hollywood will make another version of Godzilla that can be serious and we will love it, that’s the beauty of Godzilla it’s so versatile it can be whatever tone it wants. That’s “The big green beauty of Godzilla”

Rapid succession? Motherfu- It took us three years to get Kong: Skull Island, five years to get Godzilla: King of the Monsters, seven years to get Godzilla vs. Kong, nine years to get Skull Island and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, and TEN years to get Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

I really liked the first Godzilla movie with Bryan Cranston in the beginning of it. I haven't seen any of the others. Next: Talk about why Pacific Rim 1 was so good but part 2 wasn't. I have my opinion. I think it's mostly because of the cinematography. Pacific Rim has grounded camera views and the kiju looked massive because they moved slowly and we saw them from ground level. Part 2 had magic cameras that could fly around anywhere. So, the kiju sense of scale was completely destroyed.

There’s a few bad takes in this. 1) the “dumb fun” Japanese Godzilla movies overwhelmingly still had political themes (which are usually so heavy handed that it makes it feel like the makers of this video didn’t watch any of them). 2) Godzilla holds a place of respect for its contributes to the history of Japanese cinema, but that’s not the case in the US, which is why Americans are far less likely to take a political message in a cartoon kaiju movie seriously. 3) Of all the current franchise timelines currently on film, the Monsterverse is easily in the top 2 or 3 in regards to consistent plot/characters/continuity. 4) the tonal shift from the gritty (almost black white) seriousness of the 2014 movie (and Monarch tv series) to the campy (almost technicolor) fun of the later movies is a clear reference to the shift found in the original Toho Godzilla run from the 50’s thru 70’s.

Many flawed points In this video 🤦🏻

The only problem with the monsterverse is that pretentious film bros like you have to act like you're too mature to enjoy a fun movie about giant monsters fighting.

But that's the beauty of Godzilla and kaiju films in general, the versatility of it all. If you prefer serious and thoughtful films over dumb fun ones, fine but that doesn't mean ones a problem or better than the other

2019s King of the Monsters really straddles the line between goofy monster fights and serious tone better than every Monster verse movie. The Kaiju are framed as forces of nature and natural disasters, but with a mythological and spiritual edge. The main characters while arc is overcoming the trauma of losing his son to Godzilla, but having to later rely on him, much like we rely on the natural world but are simultaneously at its mercy.
