Serenes Forest's Teehee Thread

For a franchise as old as Godzilla, it sounds quite surprising to think that this never happened before. MechaGodzilla aside, you'd think they would've invented and toss a dozen different Godzillas into a much earlier iteration of the series. You could rake in some easy yen doing this.

I think it's because Toho wanted to keep Godzilla as the king, so there was just one. Not that we haven't had multiple Godzillas before, he's has had two separate children (Minilla and Godzilla Jr) and the MonsterVerse has shown the remains of an ancient Godzilla ancestor named Dagon. Oh and since most of the movies share continuity with the original 1954, they have made it a point that the OG Godzilla is a different being than the other ones. Even in the Showa-era, the Godzilla that shows up in Godzilla Raids Again all the way to Terror of MechaGodzilla is not the same Godzilla as the original.

But as far as actually different Godzillas, we haven't had anything like that until now (unless you really want to count SpaceGodzilla). But it actually does fall in line with the current Godzilla era, Reiwa Godzilla has so far all been about vastly different takes on the character. You have Shin Godzilla's different forms, Godzilla Earth literally taking over the planet, and now the different Godzillas of SP.

It's nice seeing familiar faces but the last "real" new monster introduced in a Japanese movie was Monster X, who was introduced 17 years ago.

And Monster X transformed into Kaiser Ghidorah, which is literally just King Ghidorah but with an altered name. So even then, Monster X just gets half points for being a new monster.

I still remember the backlash when Heroes was announced. How ironic, considering where it is now.

Nah it's not Attack on Titan. Attack on Titan, is, all things considered, only 139 chapters. Can only be compared to one long game, at most.

I am talking about a series of games that went from my all time fav. to something i wanna erase from my mind

Sure the Manster Arc is, like, one of my most fav. things ever in FE, but dear god are chapters 1 to 3 sleep inducing

Did they keep inventing new knockoff 'chus after Gen 5? We got baby Pikachu, Magnet Mice, Blue Squirrel, and Flying Squirrel. After that I stopped with the franchise.

Technically we already have Plant Godzilla and Alien Crystal Godzilla, but those are different enough to be considered separate characters.

I think I remember Armagon posting an image of that thing, Biollante was its name?

Good idea to make them wholly separate, it frees them to be their own beings, instead of overusing the central figure.

 

19 minutes ago, Lightchao42 said:

There was also supposed to be a movie where Godzilla fought Ghost Godzilla, but Ghost Godzilla was replaced with a new monster.

Sounds like a better idea than a Zombie G'. Zombies are overdone. Something spectral could be cooler; the Chozo Ghosts of Metroid Prime are entering my mind. 

I'm sure it's already been done at some point in the kaiju world, but invisibility and intangibility sound as though they could make for a fun clash. Sure you can beat what you can't see, but how can you win against something that doesn't stick to your plane of existence? -Only issue is a kaiju who keeps their attacks to the spectral realm may not be able to wreck buildings as is tradition.

That, and Ghost Godzilla makes me think "the embodiment of the lives that Godzilla has in one way or another destroyed or negatively impacted, they as a collective entity have taken the form of that which hate, so as to kill it with poetic justice"- Revenge of the Skyscrapers & Automobiles and all.

-No, I mean that seriously, thank you. "Window shopping" into worlds you don't actually want to dive into can be entertaining in a way. Because while you don't want to commit to that world, learning about it secondhand does expand one's understanding of... stuff. And regardless of what it is, I do think that many humans like learning, even if the topics they choose to learn about aren't "important".

I just like the flowery speech. It's super pleasant to read. The development Marth gets as a character, too. It's subtle, but it's pretty nice. There's also the occassional jokes, and I really do feel that the few bits the characters get are great. Horace, for example. His whole gaiden is so well written, it makes him out to be such a tragic character, and Nyna benefits from it too. She gets the most badass moment in that chapter. Most characters have little conversations with Marth after recruitment (if they aren't recruited by Marth himself, of course), and from them you can glean the essentials about their characters. It's not much, for sure, but I do enjoy what we do get. Really, it's only the Wolfguard, the armor twins and Tomas that are entirely nondescript.

Honestly, when it comes to SD I believe that what's there is wonderful. It's just, well... There isn't much. I wish there was more. Unfortunately, "more" came at the price of Kris in the sequel. Which had its perks (Arran's whole expanded character) and its cons (Cain's death quote in SD alone gave him so much, but in New Mystery he got utterly butchered). Still, I've said it a million times and I'll say it again: I play FE for the gameplay, and I suppose that may be why SD's story doesn't irk me as much. It's just pleasant to watch unfold.

Also, Marth is sassy and aggressive and I love it. I wish there was more of that in his other appearances, rather than his usual "milquetoast boy" depiction.

We got Fairy 'chu, Squirrelchu the Hedgehog and Angery 'chu since.

You probably made the right call considering what Pokemon was like.

[Acacia Sgt]

SD!Marth was certainly an interesting localization decision. He's not like that even in Japanese Shadow Dragon, from what I've heard.

Really? The early game is usually my favorite part because of the limited resources.

I mean I’ve never played Thracia, so I hope it doesn’t mess up too badly when I get to it...

Invisibility wasn't a part of it but the anime trilogy incarnation of King Ghidorah was an interdimensional being that twisted the laws of time and space and was intangible, even Godzilla couldn't hurt him.

In one scene, King Ghidorah kills a whole spaceship full of people but the people on board don't realize they're dead until minutes later.

The only way this incarnation of Ghidorah could be defeated was by killing the one who summoned him, which made Ghidorah tangible and easily defeated by Godzilla.

We kinda did get something like that but not exactly. The Godzilla in GMK is a genuinely evil (the one and only time Godzilla was like this) supernatural being formed from the regrets of Japanese WW2 soldiers and their anger at being forgotten. A commentary on Japan trying to forget their imperial past, perhaps.

Ghost Godzilla himself was going to be the ghost of the original Godzilla FYI but while those plans never happened, elements of it did make it's way into Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla, where Kiryu (the MechaGodzilla) temporarily gets taken over by the spirit of the original Godzilla, whose remains were used to build the machine.

It's true. My favorite SD Marth quote is "as a friend, you are replaceable", which he says every time he publicly executes one of his soldiers in order to access a Gaiden chapter.

Jokes aside, Marth in SD does feel different.

Everyone knows the quip at Malledus's exposition dump, but my personal favorite is the shoulder line.

Quote

Nyna:
“That hunger for danger worries me, Marth. Humanity’s hopes rest on your shoulders. I would sooner not see them crushed.”

Marth:
“Which? Humanity’s hopes, or my shoulders?

Glorious.

On a more serious note, the prologue does a better job at showcasing Marth's hardships than most FEs, and after that his anger is quite justified. I love SD's prologue. Thank goodness for the patch that enables it in the harder difficulties, because it's a fuckin' crime that it is only available on normal mode in the vanilla game.
