anyway you should play cassette beasts. it's pokemon with schmoovement. you get to beat the shit out of landlords and the tumblr sexyman embodiment of imperialism. the equivalent of the pokemon league champion is a middle-aged lesbian who can transform into clockwork godzilla. it's technically an au of a shakespeare play. mothman and the flatwoods monster and the daleks are there. you can pet the dog because he's a party member and has his own social link. and oh god there's so many cheese strats

#cassette beasts #i picked it up because of the gdq run and i'm seriously tempted to learn seeded any%

Hello, could I get a godzilla x male reader fluff headcannons, please? please take your time. Thank you

I love doing Fluff Headcannons

When he's not saving the world from giant ass monsters, Godzilla loves spending time with you, his favorite human.

Expects all the kisses. Whether he's coming or going he wants a kiss. A kiss for good luck, a kiss good morning, a kiss goodnight. Just kiss him.

Hope you like the beach, as a mostly aquatic Kaiju, he doesn't really like being on land.

Will teach you how to swim if you don't already know how.

He won't force you into the water if you don't want to be there. He understands what thalassophobia is.

Likes a man that can eat. Godzilla eats a lot to keep his energy up and he'd like it if his fella would eat with him. Eating alone is awkward.

Likes dogs even if dogs don't like him.

Not a Kaiju that's very vocal, he still loves to listen to you talk. Even if it's about mundane things. Your voice soothes him.

Will sit and watch all your favorite shows with you. And I mean binge watch them. Two seasons in one day is no problem for him. Movie marathon? Bring it.

Generally just loves being around you. Your presence soothes him. You're his respite from the chaotic world he usually finds himself in, and he makes sure you know just how thankful he is.

For very grumpy people: Baby the Dog's Thai Honey Glazed Wings

What are you usually cooking after a very long day of packing, sorting, cursing, procrastinating and sulking? Especially when you need to pull out something (relatively) quick and (extremely) comforting?

This evening, Baby the Dog and I whipped up a batch of our not so secret Thai Honey Glazed Wings. You'll find approximations of this very basic Asian recipe all over the Internet, and with a little more time (and fresh ginger) on my hands I would have certainly made Braised Coca-Cola Wings (Kele Jichi), one of the finest Chinese contributions to humanity. But, it is what it is and the reason these are named after Baby the Dog' is this pic. Taken when he was still a Godzilla Terminator Puppy, bribed with some Frosties to let me cook in peace:

For a 10 wings batch you will need:

4 Tablespoons/60 grams thick honey, 2 to 3 Tablespoons/30 to 45 grams Sriracha (mandatory), the juice of 1 lemon (can be replaced by a lime, which is what I always do), 4 Tablespoons/60 gr dark soy sauce, 1 Tablespoon/15 grams น้ำพริกเผา (naam priik pla) which is often translated as chili jam (but it's not really true) and which I always replace by sweet chili sauce (whatever brand does the trick). Optional: sesame seeds, to play it cool.

Preheat your oven at 200 C (approx 400 F/gas mark 6). If you feel fancy or are serving these to people, you can separate the flats and drumettes - it also tastes much better and is easier to maneuver.

In a bowl, add and mix all the ingredients for the marinade in the same order I wrote them down. Only mix with a wooden spoon, until you feel no resistance from the thick honey.

Add in and rub vigorously the wings, cover with saran wrap and leave be for at least 10 to 30 minutes. You can torture yourself and place them in the fridge overnight, but it does nothing for the final taste. So, nope. This is a very satisfying quick fix, let it remain so.

Line with parchment paper a 13x8 baking pan, add the wings one by one, bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown. Halfway through it, pour the rest of the marinade on the wings. Take out, pour all the reduced sauce still in the pan over it and mix (if necessary), sprinkle some sesame seeds on top and pretend it's takeaway. Let cool for five minutes (will it last? nope). Sinfully delicious hot or cold.

This is a very, very easy and effective ego fix for grumpy days. Mark me. You're welcome.

Kaiju Weeks in Review (April 14-27, 2024)

Kazuhiro Nakagawa has directed a new Godzilla short, although you'll have to travel to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building to see it properly, as it's projected on the surface of the building! Failing that, here's the best-looking video I could find on YouTube. Godzilla: Attack on Tokyo runs about seven minutes and pits Godzilla (Naoya Matsumoto) against an upgraded Super X2.

youtube

Chibi Minilla has made her (yes, her) debut in Chibi Godzilla Raids Again. It's an interesting situation where the character isn't specifically gendered in Japanese but is definitely female in the English translation; Wikizilla has the details. Also, the episode itself has serious Godzilland vibes.

youtube

I forgot to mention that Godziban (which is still releasing specials; unknown when they'll get to Season 5) introduced Gojita and Zillala, based on the Final Wars Godzilla and Zilla, respectively. 2024 is truly the year of pink Godzillas. This week's episode brought Varan to the fore.

IDW solicitations included the 14th Godzilla Rivals issue, Godzilla vs. Manda. Nice to see a C-lister like Manda in the spotlight, as Rivals has mostly stuck to higher-profile creatures. Jake Lawrence is writing and illustrating. The logline:

Late into the night, the crew of a small fishing trawler off the coast of Australia is keeping busy by telling stories of the sea. Little do they know, they’re moments away from happening upon a mysterious shipwreck… and the fearsome sea dragon Manda going toe to toe with Godzilla in the middle of the most brutal ocean brawl any sailor has ever seen. Can this small crew make it back to shore safely in the midst of this all-out kaiju battle? Join Jake Lawrence (Teen Dog, A Nice Long Walk) on a thrilling adventure on the high seas to find out!

Practice 1

assignment 4, concept art - light and shadow

. Blog post 01

For this Light and Shadow assignment, my aim was to illustrate how the identical elements of a scene can evoke diverse atmospheric changes based on the lighting:

Initially, variations in light prompt shifts in the color of objects within the scene. Additionally, alterations in color can exert a substantial influence on the audience's mood (e.g., vivid daylight, serene night, somber foggy day). These differences in the way light interacts with the scene contribute to the overall visual impact and emotional resonance.

The basic elements in this painting scene include:

Seaside; lighthouse; bench; hiker; dog; streetlamp; grass; stones; shrubs; pathway; distant mountains;clouds; ocean waves; seagulls.

Picture foreground and background relationships:

Black and white composition design - depicts the spatial relationships of objects in the scene through changes in layers and tonal gradation.

The following image illustrates the fundamental black-and-white relationships, as well as the foreground-background layering and depth of field that I have depicted.

This is all for now~

Reference:

Godzilla 8/5 (2014) Directed by Gareth Edwards [Monster movie]. American : Warner Bros. Pictures.

Every time I remember an Autobot or Decepticon bitch about being stuck on Earth, Animated and Prime are the most frequent, it makes me laugh thinking how easy they got it. Imagine any iteration ending up on a version that is much more chaotic than the norm. Especially if the dangers are hidden or completely normal to humans.

We got JoJo's Bizarre Adventure where you literally can't trust even a simple POWER OUTLET. From stone masks that could turn people into eldritch vampire, pieces of Jesus Christ could give people powers, and martial arts which either turn the circulatory system into a sunlight generator (Hamon) or using the Golden Ratio to shred even dimensions (Spin).

I'm not forgetting about Stand Users either. Every sentient creature could become a Stand User, someone who can project a psychic manifestation of their fighting spirits that could look like anything with abilities that range from giving positive encouragement to stopping time. That weird individual on the street could dissect Megatron into pieces with fucking zippers through their Stand.

How about Resident Evil where the constant threat is viral infections? I'm not talking about the standard zombie virus either. We got mutant undead creating ones, parasitic worms/insects, to fucking hivemind mold. All guaranteed to least spawn mutants like giant man eating salamanders, evolving fanged blobs and even an eldritch dinosaur.

They have to constantly decontaminate base than just troops as a simple small strain could turn a rat into a dog sized menace. Plus all those zombies guts and blood they have to clean up if an infected did get inside. I'm pretty damn sure humans are no longer the gross squishies compared to that.

Last best addition to add is the 'Kaiju Series' i.e Kaiju No. 8, Godzilla/King Kong Monsterverse, and Pacific Rim. Normal Earth fauna doesn't cause much compared to this as kaiju practically made themselves home here. The bots aren't exactly prepared for megafauna being a constant presence and frequent threat.

Kaiju are territorial so their respective ships will get attacked if spotted too close to the creatures' home. Some may also feed on metal and think either faction are potential food. The humans here could potentially kick their afts like Kaiju No 8's Defense Force or Pacific Rim's Jaeger Pilots.

Never take what you have for granted. In the Autobots and Decepticons cases, that is a normal simple Earth. The other possibilities could be much worse.

• PAIRING — hunter x female reader (uses her and she a lot but you can always ignore/change that)

• GENRE — friends to lovers, kissing in the rain (is that a genre??).. that's all I can think of

• WORD COUNT — 1.78k (a long one)

• AUTHORS NOTE — heavily influenced by hunters (apparently) favorite song, paris in the rain by lauv (in their recent live) I do recommend putting it on loop when listening to it because the feels. god.. hunters birthday note at the end :)

MASTERLIST!

"Are you sure about this?" You ask nervously, your grip on your suitcase tightens as hunter turns around. "Of course, we cant fly back now can we?"

"But.. I still dont get it.." you shake your head, "why me?"

"Because anywhere with you feels right." He smiles, reaching for your hand. "Now come on," he squeezes your hand. "I promise, they dont bite."

You let out a chuckle at his cheesy statement, nodding as hunter slowly turns the doorknob to his house, in thailand. It was his birthday and he kept insisting that you come with him, to meet his family and learn more about him.

But you already knew everything about him from the long years you spent together, and you were more of the shy type. But still, he wanted to bring you and after a few pleads you agreed, which resulting in you being crushed because of his big hug.

He already told his family that he was coming in advance so as he turned the knob, his dog ran to the door, violently barking. "Godzilla!!" Hunter gasps, immediately dropping your hand and hugging the dog tightly.

You could hear some heavy steps as more and more of his family came out of their rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, wherever to greet the boy they missed dearly. And so you stood awkwardly behind hunter, watching him hug relative after relative until their eyes finally reached you.

Hunter could tell how shy you were just by your gaze, as he grabbed your hand again. "This is my family." He says with a proud smile, pointing to a member and saying their name, in which they wave at you happily.

"And this is-"

"Oh my god, she is so much more beautiful than you described hunter, I can see why you talk about her so much." His mom steps out of the kitchen and towards you, her apron dirty from cooking as she cups your cheeks and hugs you tightly.

"Mom.." hunter says annoyingly but you were too hot to notice. "Welcome to the family." His mom smiles at you, breaking the hug and resting her hands on your shoulders.

"T-thank you.." you muster out, bowing at the older lady. "And shes polite too," she whispers to hunter, winking as she heads back to the kitchen. Hunter could only smile as he sends you a glance, asking with his eyes if you're alright.

You nod until you jump from a sudden shout. "OH MY GOD IS THAT HERR?!"

A girl ran past hunter and towards you, like his mother, engulfing you into a hug. "That's my sister." Hunter annoyed voice comes back, rolling his eyes as she begins to blubber about how much shes been wanting to meet you.

The girl was much more talkative than hunter and he could sense that you were getting a little uncomfortable, if not shy. "Say it dont spray it!!!" Hunter remarks before grabbing your hand and leading you to the kitchen. "Come on.." he mumbles so only you could hear as his sister makes a teasing noise at him for holding your hand, in which hunter sends a glare.

Once you reach the dining room, hunter pulls out a chair for you to sit. He makes sure you're sitting comfortably before pushing the chair in and opening the seat beside you. He was going to sit until his sister pushed him over and claimed the spot as hers. "How are you? What's your name? You know hunter likes you a lot. What's your favorite.."

Hunter huffs as he finds a chair on the other side of the table. He really wanted to sit with you but the only thing he could do was put his head down, angrily kicking his feet under the table as he tries to calm himself down.

"Dinners ready!" His mom calls out from the kitchen, some of hunters cousins setting the table.

"..so then hunter started running but tripped over the tiniest pebble in the world." His sister slaps her knee, cackling as she tells another super embarrassing story of hunter. You were starting to enjoy being around his family, as you begin laughing too.

Hunter gave up on trying to defend himself, his head resting on his closed fist as he lazily ate. There was a warm feeling in his stomach though, as he watched you laugh along with his sister. He was happy that you broke out of your shell, that his family was starting to enjoy you as much as he enjoyed you.

"..but do you know how much hunter talks about you?? Like you are the only thing that runs through his mind." His sister remarks as the rest of the family silently nods.

"W-what that's not tru-"

"8:26 pm yesterday, 'I'm so happy shes coming with me, I would have missed her if she didnt.' 9:00 pm yesterday, 'do you think she likes m-'"

"Yah!!" Hunter jumps out of his seat and slaps the phone that was in his sisters hands. "You get the point.." she whispers as she takes a bite out of her food, hunters face burning red as he quickly runs to the bathroom.

You excuse yourself with a chuckle, knocking on the bathroom door. "You okay in there hunter?" You ask as he pops his head out of the door. "Forget everything she just said and I'll give you my dessert."

"BET!!"

Dinner was over and you were sitting on his couch playing around with his dog as his sister continued talking to you. You could see out of the corner of your eye on how hunter would constantly glance at his phone for the time, impatiently tapping his foot before he bolts up and grabs your hand.

"..then I- wow hunter how many time are you going to grab her hand??" She laughs.

"We gotta go."

"Go? I wanna talk to her some more."

"But-"

"Please.." she cuts him off as hunter shakes his head no, dragging you to the front door. "YOU TWO WOULD BE A GREAT COUPLE!!" She shouts as hunter quickly closes the door.

"Let's go.."

"Where are we going?"

Hunter stops for a second, before shrugging. "Anywhere," he smiles at you, which you return.

"Its been so long since I've been back in thailand," hunter remarks, stuffing his hands into his pocket as the light breeze floes through his hair. You only hum in response, hunter turning his head slightly to glance at you.

"Has anything changed since you were last here?" You ask with all curiosity, watching hunter think to himself, a finger tapping his chin. "I dont think so.." his voice trails off as he thinks some more, before ending it with a smile and shrug.

You return the smile before looking around your surroundings. "What about here?" You nod to the empty street. Something used to be there, you could tell from looking at the old buildings, the only thing lighting up the street was a dim streetlight.

"I cant remember.." he felt like something used to be there, but he couldnt put his finger on it. You were distracted by a puddle near the sidewalk, eagerly running towards it and jumping.

"What are you doing?" Hunter laughs as the puddle splashes through your shoes. The same warm feeling in his stomach that appeared at dinner appeared again as he laughs at your cuteness.

That's what his body language was expressing, but his eyes showed something different. There was so much longing in his gaze, as if his eyes formed into small hearts.

I look at you now and I want this forever

He eyes seemed to convey as you stop in your tracks, the dirty water sinking in your shoes as you step out of the puddle. You opened your mouth to say something, but nothing came out. You wanted to call his name, but instead your feet dragged you to him.

"Are you alright?" You finally ask, lifting your head to make eye level with the tall boy. He only nods, as if he was snapped out of his trance. "I'm okay.."

"You dont look so okay.."

"I just.." he says, collecting his thoughts, "I'm just so happy you got along with my family." He tries to hide his smile by looking down, your heart skipping a beat.

"I really like th-" you stopped, you felt something wet on your shoulder.

"'Really liked..'" hunter tries to finish your sentence, until he felt something wet hit his shoulder too.

And another.

Until it was raining.

It wasn't the type of heavy rain you get sick from, but it wasn't just a light shower. Your hair was soaking wet but you didnt seem to care as you laugh loudly, grabbing the tall boy's hand and moving it around. He laughs along with you as you suddenly ran from his presence, him running after you in this sudden game of tag.

To your dismay, the boy grabs your hand with his long arms, spinning you around as he grabs your waist, you hands still intertwined as he moves you back and forth in a familiar dance.

"Hunter~!!" You laugh and he does too, spinning you around again as you dance in the rain. You accidentally step on his foot and he leans forward a bit, your foreheads touching as his hot breath fans your face.

His arms still around your waist as he looks down at you, your arms connecting around his neck as you look up.

You could see the same gaze he gave you from earlier in his eyes as his eyes flicker to your lips, the sudden urge to close the gap forming.

You let out a gasp when he finally does, your body curving into his as you hands reach up to tug his hair, pulling him down more to savor the taste of his lips. They were so much more softer than you imagined — not that you were imagining. Your eyes open slightly to find hunters eyebrows furrowing, a hand leaving your waist to hold your cheek in place.

You stood there for a moment, feeling each others warmth in the cold rain. He breaks the kiss, heavily breathing for air as you do the same. You were unable to open your eyes as you bask in the after glow, until he presses his forehead back onto yours, the hand on your cheek tracing your plump lips. You open your eyes again to find him staring at you.

You looked absolutely stunning in the mixture of the moonlight and streetlight, the rain not making it any better as he smiles. "Feels like paris in the rain."

A/n: Hunter, hunty, huntbutt, Papungkorn Lertkiatdamrong.. I actually dont know what to say in your note bc i just love you sm 😭

Without you though, I wouldn't be stanning xikers 😭 yes, I'll admit it, I would have been those atinys that hate xikers because they are in the same company as ateez (not exactly I'd HATE them but like after seeing the treatment from other companies I was a bit worried for ateez) but when I saw you, literally first glance, I knew I would enjoy xikers so much.

One minute they’re moving, the next they’ve been set upon by ninjas.

That’s the only way Curt Evans can think of to describe the sudden assault; armed men, terrifyingly agile, falling on them before anybody had any idea they were even there.

It’s over embarrassingly quickly.

No one’s dead, though they’re all bruised. Jesus Christ. He’s on his knees, badly winded and yeah, that’s a cracked rib, and all he can think right now is, what just happened? A quick glance around at his squadmates says they’re thinking the same thing.

The ninjas are wearing black and red, with stark white full-face masks and blood-red goggles. Several of them have swords–swords, what the fuck?--but all of them have guns. One of them, smaller than the others, steps forward. They tilt their head, goggles boring into Evans’ eyes, before their hand snaps out and tears his dog tags from his neck.

“Hey-!”

“Shut up,” somebody else–a man’s voice–snaps. “We didn’t ask you to talk.” Then, “We takin’ ‘em back to base, sir?”

The man holding his dog tags doesn’t answer. He just looks at Evans (or, well, that’s what it looks like he’s doing) for a long moment before his arm flies out, swinging the dog tags like a flail. They hit him in teeth (that’s a chip, ow) before the man flips over him (what the fuck?) and–hurk!

Air-air-air-air–

His vision’s just starting to go when the chain loosens from around his neck. He’s still gasping when a boot between his shoulder blades puts him flat on his face and then he’s kicked over, onto his back. A boot’s planted on his chest and a massive sniper rifle that looks leagues beyond anything he’s ever worked with levels itself at his face.

The expected death doesn’t come. After two minutes of staring into those red goggles, his assailant scoffs and steps off him, snaps his fingers and jerks his head. The man from before nods.

“Yessir. Get up, assholes, we’re goin’ for a ride.”

* * *

The ride is twenty minutes. It’s a quiet twenty minutes, but it ends when they pull up to a massive military compound. High walls ringed with razor wire, security guards, and cameras. Big gates that look like something out of Jurassic Park. And an entire army’s worth of men inside, from the looks of it; trucks, tanks, the whole thing.

What the hell?

The little man from before hops out before the car comes to a stop. Striding across the compound is a giant that looks like he could snap Godzilla in half. He stops, though, when the littler guy whistles, puts his index fingers against the side of his head, and salutes*.

“Think he and Antoine had a TC,” the giant says. “They should be done soon. Why?”

A thumb jerks back towards the jeep.

“Shiiit,” the giant says appreciatively. “He’s not gonna like that.”

Who’s not gonna like that?

The small man laughs. Not totally mute, then, and clearly not deaf. Impediment? Just an asshole?

“I don’t think it was supposed to take–there he is.”

Oh.

Oh, good God.

Evans’ first, crazy thought, is that Gotham’s Bat has gone off the rails and set this up. Then the…thing…gets closer and he can see that it’s not quite the same. No cape, for one. And the full-faced helmet. It looks more like a cyborg than anything, but it’s coming this way.

“Riley brought ya a present,” the giant calls. The cyborg stops, looks at the blond man trotting behind it, and shrugs.

“Something tells me it’s not Reese’s.”

The voice is heavily filtered, sounding more demonic than human. The smaller man–Riley (huh, he knew a Riley once)--nods and erupts in a flurry of gesticulations. The cyborg tilts its head, sun reflecting off that blue visor, and remains quiet until Riley stops moving.

“Good call,” it says, and then it’s stalking towards them. Up close, it’s big. Well-armed. The insignia on the armor is unfamiliar and the armor itself is hard and sharp, almost medieval. “Well, gentlemen. What brings you out this far?”

Nobody answers. Then, quick as a snake, the cyborg lunges and pulls Evans away from the rest of his squadmates.

“Curt Evans,” the demonic voice growls. “You’re in charge of…well, that’s interesting. Operation Pleasure Time? Thought that was a soda.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he says immediately. “Who the hell are you?”

The cyborg chuckles.

“The Arkham Knight.” What the hell? Some freak escaped from Gotham? Evans has never set foot there, but one of his old squadmates had been a local. That guy was fucked up. “Don’t play coy with me–well, well, this is interesting.”

It plucks the small body camera from his vest and kicks Evans’ legs out from under him, lets him fall to the dirt in a heap.

“Drouot.”

“Yessir.”

“Tell Rogers to get into their camera frequency and run a cover-up.” It–he?--pauses. “Not that ridiculous jungle monster cryptid, something practical. Crocodiles.”

“Aw, you’re gonna break his heart, boss,” the blond says. The Arkham Knight scoffs.

“He’ll live.”

“Yeah, but he’ll be annoying about it.”

The Knight tosses the camera over and the blond disappears. Evans swallows.

“That’s recording already,” he says, willing his voice to be steady. “It doesn’t matter what you do now, it’s been viewed.”

“Nah.” The Knight sounds incredibly entertained. “We have a scrambler. All that’s been viewed is static.”

“We’re not telling you shit.”

“I really don’t care what you’re doing out here. I just care that you keep your mouths shut, and you know what they say about dead men.”

“What the fuck–”

“Get rid of them.”

“What, you won’t even do the job yourself?” Rodreguez shouts. “Fuckin’--”

BLAM!

“There. I killed one of you.” The Knight reholsters his gun. “Happy? Now. Get rid of them. Unless…” He turns to look at Riley, who shakes his head. “Never mind. Just get rid of them. I want to see your squadron in two hours; see what you’ve learned, huh?”

*Riley actually has two ways to refer to Jason: one is the shorthand symbol for crazy (index finger spiraled near your head) followed by ASL for knight. Crazy Knight=Arkham Knight. The other is this one–Evans may not know the Family Politics here, but Riley respects, and thus salutes, very few people. So this is the more affectionate one he uses to Jason or with the Squad.

So @milk-powrit asked me to draft why I didn't like GxK, to which I decide to oblige.

DISCLAIMER: Those are my personal opinions; of a fan of Monsterverse since 2014 and a nobody with any competence in analyzing media, save some common sense and maybe rudimentals??

Also I already hugely disliked Godzilla vs Kong so my discontent had a part in how I enjoyed the movie.

To conclude English is not my first langauge and even in my langauge, debate is not one of my strenght.

Spoilers alert; so skip or I kindly suggest to block the tag: Godzilla x Kong spoiler.

Let's start with the first thing: I don't enjoy how the tone of the movie shifted so drastically from Kotm to GvsK.

In this post, a youtube user explained better than me why the shifting tone felt like a downgrade. If in Godzilla (2014) Godzilla was introduced by hearing his foot stomping on the ground. It was heavy, massive, it reverbered on the glass of the airport. It felt natural, realistic. How a creature that BIG would move in the real world.

As the user said Realistic =/= Seriousness. Godzilla can be goofy. But Monsterverse!Goji was estabilished in a setting, that was the real world.

In both GvsK and in GxK Godzilla does not feels natural. Was necessary for Godzilla to evolve, to be more nimble, when already in GvsK was already moving in a way unnatural?

Or pulling the 0 gravity fight? What purpose had the evolution, if in the end it was not even necessary. Had really improved his fighting skills? They were the same, on earth and in the hollow earth.

2 reason: I've seen around posts about how media litteracy has gone bad; in some ways about people can no longer sospend their belief and calls anything a plot-hole.

But I think that one thing is suspending the belief but another is the director of the movie making the plot moving from point A to point B without telling the audience how.

For example: Suspension of belief: They had the Beast Glove ready to use, because Monarch was already working on it ✅

But why Jia is the chosen one of the day? How the Iwi in hollow earth knew of Skull island? How the shard to control Shimo works? Why Godzilla would respond to the distress call of the people who fought against him? Why Mothra has a connection to the iwi, in particular. Since in Kong: skull island there's no reference to her? How Jia flew back on Earth with Mothra, without dying for the gravitational pull?.

Not everything has to be the viewer's guess that's what I'm saying.

3 point: Shimo and Skar King are as much wasted potential as it was MechaGodzilla was in GvsK.

Skar is menacing yes, has the ability and dexterity of a formidable foe. He's vile and disgusting, oppressing his clan (let's call it that) and he's even an abusive father. All of these things: but as a villain he's really that dangerous?

He was introduced as this terrible tyrant, a danger to the world. And he wasn't even trying to go on Earth; he went up by accident basically. Because the Iwi had to play with gravity. Or should I believe him, forcing his subordinate moving rocks was to build a staircase to the upside?

And Shimo, sweet girl. She looks so horrible. Her white scales don't blend in for anything. Like she was photoshopped last minute. Her powers do damage I see. But her being presented as one or The first Titan do actually mean something to the plot, to the character? Or a simple red-herring to made her more interesting than she actually is?

Because at the end of the day SHE IS A PET!!

"Oh Kong now has found a mate, so cute". My brothers on earth, she goes on four, is used as a mount the all time and she kept panting the whole time. That's a pet, the old dog you have to force inside when it snows.

It was pretty disappointing.

Last but not least the reason I personally dislike Wingard take on the Monsterverse, which is the point you could probably throw away all my arguments, compelling or not because it's really a ME issue, who don't think no one'd agree and I don't blame anybody for it.

I HATE HOW WINGARD DECIDED TO PORTRAY GODZILLA.

I don't hold nothing over him for having Kong as his favorite. That's personal taste, I respect it.

But when it comes to at the expense of the other protagonist, it rubs me so in the wrong way.

On this point I don't know if I want to discuss it further, but boy I do have to complain on this topic.

To summarize I'm mad Godzilla doesn't get to have the same introspection and grace is allowed to Kong, knowing he can to (if you read the Dominion comic. But since they are only distributed in the US not many does. OR should care about it. Cause I'm first a supporter of the idea that if a media is not capable to give all the informations in like the Movie, you the audience should not have to pay for more. So basically the Novelitation are cool but also a scam)

That's all I had to say about it.

Hoping any of this uphere is comprehensible. If in the end I only sound like a rambling idiot I accept it. This movie is too stupid to be too mad about it.

I'll just ignore it

#the communication ends here #godzilla x kong: the new empire #godzilla #my reviews #I guess #i'm may be too critical but that's what it is #monsterverse #legendary pictures #godzilla 2014 #legendary kong #godzilla x kong spoilers

15 questions for 15 friends:

Hi, @lady-featherquill and @missamyrisa2! I’m honored that two such illustrious writers would think of me.

Were you named after anyone?: Nope! My mom may have gotten the name from a soap opera she was watching, though… but that might just be one of my dad’s lame jokes, lol.

When was the last time you cried?: The ending of Godzilla Minus One. I’m serious.

Do you have kids?: Nada.

What sports do you play/have you played?: I played tennis when I was in junior high and early high school! Was big into it for a while … and then we moved and my new high school didn’t have a team. Had a thriving theatre program, though! I’m ultimately very thankful for that.

Do you use sarcasm?: Me?? Psshhh. Nahhh. 😉

What is the first thing you notice about people?: Tough question. IRL… probably the way they carry themselves? The way they move through space. I also notice how they say things… phrases, reactions. Does that make sense? … Maybe this is too deep. I notice clothing style, too! Not in a critical way, just assessing. As for online, I WILL notice your texting style. Perfect grammar, all lowercase no punctuation, how often you use emojis and how. Just warning y’all.

What's your eye color?: Brown, tending more toward honey/amber than black. (My brother has super dark brown eyes like the latter and I’m only a little envious.)

Scary movies or happy endings?: Happy endings, definitely. I can’t handle scary movies at all, let alone downer endings. … I never did watch that Cyberpunk anime. I should get to that…

Any talents?: Writing. Acting. I’m a fast reader. Projecting my voice. Memorizing lines. ... a lot of these are related to acting, haha.

Where were you born?: Louisiana! And then got moved away before I was even a year old, so I don’t exactly remember it.

What are your hobbies?: Reading, writing, video games, listening to music, TTRPGs (GMing and playing). Typical nerd! I also like walks, casual hikes, and trying new coffeehouses.

Do you have any pets?: Sadly, no… I miss having dogs. And I love cats, but I’m allergic to them… it sucks.

How tall are you?: 5’7”, and a lot more confident about it than I used to be! (I know it’s kind of the stereotypical “bitter guy” height, lol. It’s fine, I probably shouldn’t go into politics anyway. 😆)

Favorite subject in school?: English, hands down.

Dream job?: I wish I knew. It would be fun to be creative for a living – a writer, or one of those streaming D&D Dungeon Masters – but it might also drain me of the creativity I need for my hobbies. I’d like to do something that actually helps people, charity work or something. I know I sound really driftless for a 30-something… I just care more about my life outside of my job, y'know? And I’d like to get out of finance one day, man.

Join in and pass it on if you can. Don't feel obligated!: 15?? That’s a lot. Hi, mutuals! If I haven’t said hi before now, I’d like to get to know you better. 😊
