HinikunaGoji,
Agreed. Shin Godzilla's ending never felt like the set up for a sequel. Before the "Cinematic Universe" thing became so popular, plenty of movies had "cliffhangers" that were merely meant to be contained to a theme or motif.
Singular Point actually has unresolved arcs and longstanding, unanswered questions, unlike Shin Godzilla. Of which seem to be purposefully unresolved for a second season.
And again, this wouldn't be Toho leaving it be. It would Orange and Bones studios--Which operates differently and independently of Toho.
The post credit scene of Singular Point seems like the set up for a second season, though I would argue that the endings for both GMK and Shin Godzilla also seemed like they were set ups for sequels as well. Obviously I can't say for sure if Singular Point season 2 will happen or not, but given Toho's track record with the Millennium and Reiwa series constantly resetting the timeline and moving on to the next project, it wouldn't surprise me if Singular Point continued that trend.
Honestly i would be more confused. Ive never thought of shins ending as a cliffhanger, but SP definitely has one, and the credit scene.
Spider-Man is my favorite.
Well, I kinda only watched GVK for Godzilla Vs. Kong.
True, though it still makes me wonder if Singular Point is going to end up like Shin Godzilla, where despite the cliffhanger that sets up a sequel, Toho just leaves it a one and done thing.
SasquaDash,
Thing is Toho doesn't have to lift a finger for it, much like the Legendary flicks. It's just another case of cashing the check for another studio's use of their property and said studio producing it.
Japanese companies play things absurdly close to the vest, as has been seen since 2013, technically. I'm sure this type of secrecy in the American blockbuster cinema industry would drive people nuts.
Honestly, with the lack of updates and the rumor of a new movie, I'm wondering if Toho's moving on to their next project and potentially leaving Singular Point as a one-off.
(I could be wrong, though)
Here's the Production Weekly excerpt being referred to:
i mean I do like Batman and Ironman
Same. I like some superhero media, but I've never really followed DC or Marvel that much. I'm way more interested in media focused on monsters or other types of creatures.
Scarlet Witch is actually my favorite now, because of Multiverse
Eh, I mostly watch creature movies for the creatures. I am not much of a people person. Its the reason why I have trouble writing human characters
I am not a really a superhero fan, I prefer empowered creatures than humans
Interesting, I never knew that.
What did you think about the human characters by the way?
Dang, the MCU fatigue got to you huh?
The show is overall really good, aside from the finale.
Cool, I hope its scarier than the original
I had given up on Marvel before reaching WandaVision, not a huge fan of Scarlet Witch nor Vision
The problem I have with the Alpha Role, was not because of the Deific Idea but rather the alpha animal social structure is an outdated scientific concept. Since the concept was made observing captive wolves instead of wild ones.
That would be cool
If it happens, it likely won't be announced officially until close to the release. Singular Point was being worked on for two years before a leak revealed its existence and 2.5 years before the official announcement.
The one with Grant and the Dimetrodons is definitely my favorite. I'm really excited to see that scene.
And also, Biollante would tie into the themes of G'14 and KOTM well. Which is why I set that specific Titan up.
I did like WandaVision, so hopefully we can get some interesting and more fleshed out humans...
How about in my versions of both KOTM and GVK, the Titans believe Godzilla is THE alpha when he really is a balancer. So we compromise.
Also, thanks for the support of the casting of Sam!
Unfortunately there has not been an official announcement for Spider Man: Singular Point by netflix.
So it could be possible that it may not happen.
Maybe we are getting the kaiju attenborough documentary,
Prehistoric Planet and Origins.
I actually really like that casting.
I honestly like the Deific idea they went for in KOTM, but they half abandoned it in GVK whoch just makes the whole situation weird.
I think my second Godzilla movie was Godzilla 1998 before getting the entire Japanese Godzilla set on VHS via my Uncle
this one is an improvement but I would have drastically changed the MonsterVerse starting with KOTM. I personally would have kept Godzilla having a Balancer Role from 2014 rather than an Alpha Role from KOTM
Oh, okie dokie then. What's your favorite movie out of these?
sonictiger,
There are plans for an international release. Details have yet to be announced.
Sonic should be ahead of The Bad Guys tbh. Also, is Shin Ultraman playing in the US?
UPDATE 5/20/2022:
Minor update, but it's worth noting that Shin Ultraman was the #4 top grossing movie in the world last weekend. Just another stat to notch onto Tsuburaya/Toho's belt going into a hopefully lucrative weekend #2.
Before going into the weekend, I want to address something I've been seeing a lot of lately.
English box office outlets are reporting that Shin Ultraman opened bigger than Shin Godzilla and this isn't exactly correct. They're specifically claiming that Shin Ultraman's opening 3-day total, which is $7.7 million, is bigger than Shin Godzilla's 3-day opening total. The problem is outlets like Crunchyroll aren't using Shin Godzilla's 3-day total, they continue to use its 2-day total of $6.1 million.
Once again, the confusion stems from the fact that the Japanese box office doesn't include Friday when reporting opening and following weekends. A "weekend total" means Saturday and Sunday no matter what. It's being lost in translation that Shin Godzilla's "weekend opening" is the Sat/Sun total of $6.1 million. But it's 3-day opening total is $8.2 million.
Now that doesn't mean Shin Ultraman didn't beat Shin Godzilla in something already. The three day opening attendance for Shin Godzilla was 564,332, whereas the three day opening attendance for Shin Ultraman was 641,802.
Seems that Ultraman is a movie that has lower ticket prices or the exchange rate has fluctuated to reflect something different. Either way, it's not unheard of for movies in Japan to make less money, but have higher attendance due to fluctuating ticket prices from movie to movie.
The point of this post, however, is to highlight that Shin Ultraman did not outgross Shin Godzilla's opening weekend. Attendance is another story.
Wait season 2?
Thank you!
That was my goal. And I took your advice on the Madison and Ren interaction. Also, I'd choose Noah Schnapp to play Sam if I'm being honest.
