Sooo I kinda ended up lying about SSSS.Gridman being next. With the recent announcement of "Godzilla: Singular Point" it reminded me of something I never bothered to check out a couple years back: The
Netflix Godzilla
anime films.
So! I spent all of today checking them out! Alot of people warned me not to(including some of the users on this board), but hey, I'm now the Toku Anime Guy of these parts, so I gotta, right?
And lemme tell ya, it was an almost total waste of my time!
Don't get me wrong, the movies are by no means the worst things I've ever seen or anything like that, but yeah, I can definitely see why these movies don't have many fans.
For me personally though, it's not how every movie is mostly exposition with all the action only being at the very end. It's not that they're slow-paced. Its not even that I'm the type of Godzilla fan who only shows up to see Godzilla blow stuff up. I like a bunch of other movies and shows that are all like that!
No, the main issue I had was the characters. I gave literally not a single damn about any of them! No one is likeable in these movies! They all spend alot of time praising the lead, Haruo, but there's nothing likeable or special about the guy! Like, yeah, he wants to kill Godzilla, but like... so does everyone else in these films? Not exactly a reason to treat him special.
Heck, what little characterization there even is isn't even consistent. Alot of the "reveals" about certain characters being selfish, bad, or corrupt is done solely to create forced drama. Drama which I straight don't care about because I have no one to root for. It's not even like that's the point the movies are trying to make either; We are clearly meant to root for Haruo, but again, we're never given a good reason to do so.
Speaking of that, I got a personal kick(in that I didn't like it) how the entire third movie spent trying really hard to say that the Death Cult is wrong and humans are better than what they claim... only for the last five minutes to come in and say "Actually no, they were totally right. End all of civilization for the greater good." Like, dude, even "Kill-Em-All" Tomino wouldn't go that far. I understand that these movies were written by the same guy who wrote Kamen Rider Gaim. Someone PLEASE tell me that show is atleast a bit better than this?
By the way, if you're a fan of Mothra and/or King Ghidorah, well, let's just say their "involvement" in these films will most likely come across as an insult.
In the end, I give the movies an overall score of
2/6
. They aren't out and out horrible, but why watch them when you could watch... almost any other Godzilla movie? Hopefully Singular Point will end up alot better than these.
The way they animated Godzilla's' Atomic Breath was cool though.
So yeah, I'll start covering SSSS.Gridman either next week or the week after.
