#Godzilla singular point spoilers

[whatdoesthevixensay]

Godzilla Singular Point: After 5 episodes there's still been no Godzilla and I don't care enough about the human characters to continue. Monsters are all CGI. Most of the plot feels like an advanced science lecture that has left me behind, unable to catch up. Elements of horror with the way the monster attacks are staged that leave me not having a good time, even if there's minimal violence and no gore. I read ahead to see what Godzilla's entrance will add to the show and was disappointed that he does not seem to be an ally character. That's the only angle of Godzilla series I enjoy, which I haven't seen done properly since the cartoon series. 1/5

my personal rating scale 0/5 ran away 1/5 didn't like 2/5 didn't care 3/5 liked an average amount 4/5 liked a lot 5/5 loved

hi jess! as someone who has never seen a godzilla film, where would you suggest i start to get into the franchise? sorry if this question has been asked a lot, if so then feel free to use this as an excuse to gush about the franchise :3

I think there are some very good places to start with Godzilla. I’m gonna give met recommended starting points here, and then I’ll elaborate under the “view more”

So, my list of Godzilla starting points in no particular order.

Godzilla (2014) - this is a reboot and it’s the beginning of the monsterverse series

Godzilla (1984) - this is a reboot and it’s the beginning of the Hesei era Godzilla series that runs until 1995

Shin Godzilla - a stand alone movie. No sequels to prequels

Godzilla (1954) - it’s the original Godzilla story and it’s good, but I also understand that older movies can be intimidating for newer viewers

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla - Not to be confused with Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla, this millennium era Godzilla movie is part of a self contained duology that I personally really enjoy

Now, I’ll explain why I recommend these as staring points bellow:

Godzilla 2014 and Monsterverse

Godzilla (2014) is probably my favorite place to start new fans of Godzilla, even if it’s not my favorite Godzilla movie.

G2014 is the first movie in the Monsterverse series, and there are still Monsterverse projects coming out today. Godzilla X Kong the New Empire is coming soon, and Monarch season 1 is releasing right now. It’s fun to watch something and be a part of something while it’s new and coming out.

I think you will probably enjoy all of the Monsterverse movies, but pay attention to which one you like the most, because it will act as a good indicator of which Godzilla movies to watch next because the Monsterverse movies do a really good job of capturing the tone and feel of different eras of Godzilla movies. It’s like watching through a sampler platter of the entire franchise. G2014 is a beautifully shot cinematic movie that holds its own when compared to the best Godzilla films, while Godzilla King of the Monsters is an action packed monster melee reminiscent of the Hesei era films. Godzilla vs Kong is a campy monster movie that feels like the Showa era films, and Monarch is shaping up to be an introspective look at society that feels in line with the more recent Godzilla projects (shin Godzilla, Singular point, Minus 1).

The monsterverse franchise feels like a love letter to the entire Godzilla franchise, and it makes it the perfect starting point.

Godzilla 1984, and the Heisei continuity

My favorite Godzilla movies are the ones from the Heisei era. Godzilla 1984 was made as a reboot of the franchise, and it’s the start of a solid continuity that lasts until 1995s Godzilla vs Destoroyah. These movies have incredible practical effects and have aged very very well. There are tons of cool monsters and they are just fun. To me this era of Godzilla movies will always be the best, but I also understand that it’s not for everyone.

Shin Godzilla and the Reiwa era

I like Shin Godzilla a lot. It feels like a new philosophical direction for Godzilla as a franchise, while still being respectful of the series roots, but it’s also a hard movie to talk about without spoiling the film. (Don’t worry no spoilers here). Shin Godzilla and its success opened the door for some very interesting projects (like Godzilla singular point, G vs G, Godzilla Minus One and Godzilla earth). I have mixed feelings about some of the Reiwa era Godzilla projects, but I appreciate that they are taking risks with the franchise.

Godzilla 1954 the original

Obviously the original movie was going to be on this list. I think it’s a movie that everyone should see, but I actually don’t think it needs to be the first movie you see. It’s an excellent starting point but I also understand not being in the mood to watch a 70 year old movie. That being said, when you are in the mood for an older movie, you should watch it.

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and the millennium era.

After the Heisei Godzilla movies ended they rebooted the franchise again, but instead of starting a new continuity they created a series of stand alone movies that were each in their own continuities. The only exception to this is the two part story of Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, and Godzilla Tokyo SOS.

You could watch any of the movies from this era without having seen any other Godzilla films, I just happen to like Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla the best. (Godzilla 2000 is a close second).

These are in my opinion the best places to start, but In actuality you can start anywhere. Even the movies with the most continuity around them are pretty stand alone and self contained, so if none of these movies appeal to you then just find one that looks fun and start there

#ask pirateprincessjess #godzilla #I know I haven’t talked about Godzilla Minus one yet #and that’s because I have some thoughts that I need to get organized #because it was a great movie #but there’s also a big problem with it that I haven’t seen people talking about

Poetry referenced in Episode 6

Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies.

Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire?

What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart?

And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain, In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp, Dare its deadly terrors clasp!

When the stars threw down their spears And water'd heaven with their tears: Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger Tyger burning bright, In the forests of the night: What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

by William Blake

...The question of “what type of god would make this?!” works really well with kaiju

Second most relatable thing to happen in Godzilla: Singular Point:

…the doctorate lady dying to save a little girl’s cat in the middle of a kaiju attack and evacuation. Because save the kitty, and because trying to keep a child safe

#godzilla singular point #godzilla singular point spoilers #spoilers #…I watched this anime months ago #I still think about this scene #if she had to die Stupidly #at least it was done in such a relatable way #is a cat’s (or any animal’s) life worth more than a human’s? no #but it’s still Worth Something #and a child’s life is definitely worth something #neither the child nor cat fully understand what is happening other than GIANT SCARY MONSTERS #cat just wants AWAY. child wants her cat SAFE TOO #so this brilliant adult whose research team is desperately trying to solve this crisis best they can #goes out and risks her own life (and fails) #because she trusted her protege and team to handle things in the event if something DID happen to her #but also because while Many Lives Worth More Than One is /true/ …thinking that way is very dangerous. #become callouse to a single life (and/or an animal’s life) and it’s far too easy for No Lives mattering at all #anyway. it was a very Ghibli Moment. (and pretty sure Miazaki designed the Kaiju) #(and I don’t think this guy can work on a project without having his philosophy included) #and well. a major theme is Death Happens. Failure Happens. But Life and Sacrifices Both Matter #(without that theme the (spoiler!!) time paradox simply wouldn’t be a satisfying conclusion) #life has to matter. and with that how someone dies has to matter since they are a life lost

Here you go

I can’t believe my initial hunch about “Titanosaurus” being Godzilla was right.

If you ever wondered what would happen if Gintoki got tired of being a samurai... well, now you know :D “Does basically every kind of job, which also means he is unemployed” and likes sweets. That’s basically him, and look, he even has a new boyfriend! I mean partner. Partner *wink, wink* I think it may be some elaborate tribute to Sorachi, because it’s just too close to real Gintoki xD

Godzilla: Singular Point impressions

Beware! The spoilers in this post are coming from the future~!!

So today was the premier date of the last episode of Godzilla: Singular point. Since there's a lot more content between 13 episodes compared to a movie or two, I'm probably going to need another rewatch to fully decide on my feelings. Luckily, we only need another week before it's added to netflix. Anyways, here's my pros and cons.

Pros:

~This anime loves the Godzilla series. It's just peppered with references to the franchise, and in some surprising ways. Not to mention the ending theme, which is a love letter to everyone who's ever cared about a Godzilla film past it's monster characters.

~The original characters in this series are great. There's a decently diverse cast of characters, which is fairly unique for an anime like this. Their designs are immediately readable and convey a lot of emotion, which is more than I can say for certain other Godzilla anime.

~Overall, the animation is great. I understand the need to split animation between Bones and Orange, but overall the kaiju/mecha CG still blends well with the traditional animation. The anime itself is colorful, and the action scenes have a real weight to them, especially when Jet Jaguar swings the Anguirus Spear around

~I love the new Jet Jaguar. The combination of industrial machinery and Pero 2 as an AI pilot add a great wrinkle to the character's legacy.

Cons:

~Unfortunately I don't want to be that person who complains about Godzilla screen-time but I really think that Godzilla was not well implemented into the story. It's interesting that SP Goji has a similar evolution to Shin Godzilla, but each stage changes so quickly from episode to episode that it doesn't matter to the plot, other than "Godzilla is coming, you better watch out!!"

~While I like the kaiju in this series, I feel like they draw too close to "Realistic" megafauna, compared to the mythical larger-than-life kaiju I generally associate with the Godzilla series. Kaiju like Anguirus and Kumonga have interesting abilities but are largely cut down unceremoniously, they feel like they're there to pad out action scenes before the finale. I would like have liked more time spent with Anguirus, a seemingly docile kaiju who has the most interesting powers but it largely disposed of without a second thought.

~I love sci-fi technobabble but there is a lot of it in Singular Point, and I don't know if it's for the better. There's a lot of hints as to what's happening through them, but I don't think they're thorough enough to really understand the time-travel theoretical physics stuff they're depicting

~The stinger: While I'm so excited for a potential sequel series, I have the feeling that a lot of important plot points were saved for whatever comes next from Singular Point. Hopefully now that the world and the various kaiju are established, the next series can transition smoothly into a more traditional Godzilla story.

Overall I'm tough on this anime because I really like it. Singular Point is not perfect, but I think it's a great entry into the Godzilla Reiwa canon, and hopefully gives us a good idea of where the franchise goes from here. Solid 7.5-8/10.

hey, godzilla singular point? I can forgive the hours of technobabble, but I draw the line at a brilliant scientist throwing her life away to try to save some random cat

#godzilla singular point #godzilla singular point spoilers #ps i think the series as a whole is dense but good #like you just gotta trust that these nonsense words people keep saying actually mean things and youre good #also im p sure that cat couldve taken on the rodan just fine

I see they hired Chaos to play Hedorah

Pay back for all the homages by Sonic series I suppose.

(Background unused robot in Eggman’s secret base in Sonic Adventure that resembles Showa Mechagodzilla, and a Knuckles robot from Sonic Advane that even starts out with a fake flesh covering like Mechagodzilla’s disguise.)

And an obvious pallete swap

Godzilla SP Anguirus being the best boi.

I love how this series has a habit of giving a comical edge to the action sequences without breaking the tension, it gives off a very classic Showa/Heisei feel.

Instantly one of my favorite Godzilla scenes ever. Turns out the best way to bring back Jet Jaguar is to make him and his inventor even more ridiculous.
