It censors C. Roach lol

uuuhh...what the heck is this book even

Godzilla becomes the Senate with his roach gf. Yes. Very nice.

wait i got one, some sort of gorgonopsid (haven't decided, maybe multiple), Dunkleosteus, Mosasaurus, Postosuchus, and to stay true to the dinosaur label, Alberto and Carnotaurus. Maybe some Dakotaraptor who knows?

ok i seriously have to draw this sucker.

I just kinda combined a bunch'a prehistoric animals i really like lol

edit:

WAIT WAIT! and AXOLOTL!! WITH A BIT'A SNAKE TOO!

I AM GOING OFF TODAY!

oh god not those mario movie things they haunt me

...my dog kinda looks like a non-mammalian synapsid

HE HAS A THEORY!

@SquashaDash, that theory is weirdly similar to what I am writing and I didn’t even know what shinomura is. Also, we found another spam bot. 

I'll try. My head's just...weird.

Another big staple of Cosmodore's channel was that he reviewed every season of SpongeBob SquarePants (one of my favorite cartoons of all time). When the information of his actions surfaced, I was of course pretty disgusted. However, it didn't change the fact that I still loved SpongeBob, it was a huge part of my childhood and was extremely influential to me, and that will never change. He may have reviewed it, but he wasn't officially part of its production.

If a member of a show/movie/game's production does something horrible or has an extremely terrible attitude (there's one in particular that I plan on addressing in my upcoming paleo rant) then I understand not supporting the project. However, a reviewer has no say in the production of a certain product, they are only giving their opinion on it. It would be like if a critic reviewed Jaws, and then it was revealed that this critic had actually murdered someone. His/her actions wouldn't affect the quality of Jaws as a film just because they gave a review for it.

I do understand your concerns, but like I said, art shouldn't be judged by actions of a reviewer, it should be judged on its own merits.    

They really shouldn't. But, my silly little brain decides to associate everything with everything and I can't get it out of my head

Kattozilla

Oh, Okay. Yeah, I know about the Cosmodore situation and how bad it is, which sucks because I used to really enjoy his videos...

That being said I think it's a little unfair to hate on the Good Dinosaur because of the fact that he reviewed it. What Cosmo did was completely unforgivable, but I don't think that the movie should suffer because of one reviewer's actions. 

".... NOT to Create a Weapon,"

Yeah, that works. Using the xeno as a weapon is just plain nutty. Military has better far better tools. But if the Engineers were experimenting on immortality? This is the direction I'd choose.

 " Unleashed some Horror from the other Dimensions "

This is probably my most desired storyline. Event Horizon meets the Alien verse!

"If they made a sentient computer and transferred his consciousness to the hardware would he still own the company?"

I think they would. Knowing they could always unplug or hack the sentient 'computer'. 

Ok so the ytber was Cosmodore and the information.....uh....let's just say hopefully he's not allowed near a school

To look at Immortality from the Engineers POV.

Jon Spaights had the idea that the Space Jockey/Engineer Race were ONCE very similar to HOW we are, they had Genetically Evolved themselves over a Great Time Period so that they would LIVE for Thousands of Years, they had Abandoned the Notion of Natural Procreation, and Eventually had LOST the Ability to do so.

Spaights then implied the Engineers were on the VERGE of a Great Discovery to ATTEMPT to Transcend from their Physical Bodies to beings of Energy who Live on in the Multiverse.

We have to ASSUME that they NEVER Managed to Achieve this.... NOW this kind of Plot is something that has gone though Changes and so from Alien Engineers to Alien Covenant the Engineers Agenda/History and Purpose likely have Changed.

But you would think that such a ADVANCED and ANCIENT Race like the Engineers who are Would-be-Gods, you would THINK they would have also WANTED to try and Gain some Eternal Life like Weyland wanted.

If we say they had been trying to Mess-About with Multiple Dimensions and the like then MAYBE they could have Unleashed some Horror from the other Dimensions like say in the PLOT to the HP Lovecraft Story.... FROM BEYOND

If this Organism can Resurrect Itself via its Life-Cycle especially if we APPLY the Original Idea from Dan O'Bannons Star Beast (EGG MORPH) then if this Ancient Organism can LIVE-ON in a Reincarnation.  And so it Genetically Transfers its SOUL onto the Egg Morph then this would be a kind of IMMORTALITY and you can Imagine the Engineers would be Interested in this and MAYBE this gives us a BETTER REASON for the Engineers to be playing with the Xeno-Ancetors Genetics.... NOT to Create a Weapon, but to PERFECT themselves and Attempt to gain the SAME kind of Reincarnation that the Starbeast has.

The ONLY kind of Success like this we actually had seen is via RIPLEY 8 but this Shows that the Xenomorph DNA maybe HOLDS THE KEY to what Peter Weyland was after ;)

I think there is Quite a lot of Ambiguity with Prometheus and also in WHAT we hear Ridley Scott say.

When he said part of the Questions are WHAT is a Soul, then its Really open for Interpretation and Debate.

What we see from the Perspective of Dr Shaw is that BELIEF in a Spiritual Soul that Exists inside of us that will go on to LIVE for Eternity if we Worship and have Faith in our GOD provided we Live a Life that does-not Displease this GOD.  However what we Discover is our Creators are FAR from the Benevolent God that she may have Faith in, after Discovering she could be WRONG she Returns to her Faith to ask "Who made them" and so Despite the Revelations she had Discovered her FAITH gave her the WILL to Carry on.

The ONLY time we hear about the SOUL in the Movie was when Peter Weyland said that it is SOMETHING that David could NEVER have.  Which is him saying  that only Humans have this Spiritual Soul that Dr Shaws Faith/Religion would suggest can Live on after Death.  However Weyland is NOT really a Believer as if he 100% Thought his SOUL would Live on in a After-Life he would NOT want to be trying to Track Down our Creators.

So if we are looking at our SOUL as being the Inner Spirit that will LIVE ON when we Die, be that in Heaven, or Tortured in Hell or Wander the World as a Ghost.  Then i do Suspect that we would NOT have Concluded as such in the Prequels.

The Emphasis of this Question seemed to Reflect back to David and his Reaction as "he is just a F-ing Robot after all"

But when your looking at what is SOUL then apart from a Genre of Music, and the Spiritual Essence of us. Then you can say having SOUL can also imply.

1) Putting all your Effort into something (Heart and Soul).

2) Determine how Good a Person you are as David said to Dr Shaw "your very kind of Heart" meaning she has a Good Soul.

3) The Experiences we have that Mold our Personality, that Determine what kind of a Person we Are, Kind, Cruel but also our Memories and Ambition.

Those (3) are what you would Expect would Live On once our Physical Body would Die.... it is those that are Transferred to the Clones in the Movie The 6th Day it is that which is Transferred to a A.I in the Movie Transcendence.

And so IF (and we are talking Sci-Fi) you had a way to UPLOAD Number (3) of a Human to some A.I/Storage and Transfer that to another Clone Body or even a Machine/Robot.  Then you would have a KIND OF like Afterlife...

But ALAS it seems Mankind had NOT been able to Accomplish that and the Engineers too.

But with David we see he has Very Human Emotions he has Ambition, Aspirations and as he is A.I and his A.I Memory can be Backed Up and Stored and likely Transferred then its kind of IRONIC that what Peter Weyland says that David has NO SOUL.... when actually he is the ONLY being who has a SOUL and can have a After-Life.

The ONLY other Person we see who could FIT with having a After-Life/Resurrection was RIPLEY via Ripley 8 has she retained some of Ripleys Memories/Emotions etc.

The Xenomorph DNA had provided some kind of Storage of her SOUL.

I think that IF the Ancestral Roots of the Xeno-DNA etc is Traced to a Organism that does this (Genetic Memory Transfer) then the ENGINEERS would Certainly be Interested in UNLOCKING as to WHY/HOW this Happens so that THEY can Gain some kind of IMMORTALITY too.

By the way though Black-Ant some Very Interesting Comments ;)

Disney gives a semi-creationist vibe which I don't like

I definitely think it's pushing for the "fixed loop" theory of time, hence the message Yun is getting from the future. Kaiju definitely seem to be 4th dimensional beings in this continuity which explains their ability to see time and/or manipulate it.

I found a way to legally watch the show soo....

SPOILERS:

I'm actually gonna rant about Archetype and Godzilla being a singular point. 

Archetype is weird. Not only is a strange material that can trap light without converting it to heat, but also refract it through time. THis itself creates a singular point, in which photons from the future and present are indistinguishable. The ability for Archetype to create these points is interesting and probably explains why Godzilla (a singular point) can manipulate it. 

The Series seems to be toying with the idea that the future is fixed, and the ony reason it seems unpredictable is because we have no knowledge of it. 

If time is not fixed the explanation for time prediction, via archetype and anguirus could be the other material that I forget the name of.

The show also offers an interesting view at what 4d life could look like. Because we are 3d beings, we are not ablw to see their fourth demension, Time. But the abilities of Anguirus, Archetype, and that godzilla is a singular point, where time is indistinguishable, suggests that they can be measured in time at all moments.

So I submit, Kaiju are 4d.

MAJOR SPOILERS:

It's now been suggested that Godzilla is a Singular Point. In the latest episode Yun posits that Singular Points do not come from our world. The closer Singular Points get to each other the more likely they are to offset a"prophesied" Catastrophe that leads to the end of the world.

This Catastrophe was seen by the scientist who discovered Archetype, via a "Super Calculator" used to decipher Archetype/Singular Points.

So it seems the kaiju do come from an alternate dimension, but how and why they got to our world is still a mystery.

Are the aliens real

Godzilla Awakening established that the bombings of Hiroshima woke a monster known as Shinomura. Godzilla sensing both the bomb and the Shinomura woke up and began patrolling the Pacific, hunting the Shinomura. Eventually the US government discovered Godzilla and the Shinomura after Godzilla had a run in with the USS Nautilus in 1954. The Government formed the organization of Monarch to study these monsters, believing them to be a threat (at least one of them was). After finding out that both Godzilla and the Shinomura were attracted to radiation, they decided to lure them to Bikini Atoll by using an atomic bomb, believing that the blast would kill both of them. When Godzilla and the Shinomura arrived in Bikini Atoll, the US detonated the bomb. The blast killed the Shinomura, however Godzilla was unharmed. With the threat of the Shinomura destroyed Godzilla returned to hibernation. Believing that they had killed Godzilla and not wanting to alert the general public, the US covered up the incident, stating that it was just another one of the nuclear tests that the government had been conducting for the past decade.

It's also worth mentioning that Japan gauges the success of films off attendance numbers over gross. So how many tickets are sold will be a larger indicator for its success.

7amey,
($25.8 million, but that's splitting hairs.)
The difference is film and television piracy is taken a lot more seriously in Japan. I have no doubt some risk it, but it's much more enforced and doesn't normally effect box office receipts. Take Godzilla (2014) for instance. It was released in Japan two months after the world wide release in May. But it still made $30.5 million.

The main thing I see hurting it is COVID and the capacity theaters are running. I think it'll be lucky if goes over $30 million, but might just barely hit below it.

Of course there's always the unlikely chance of a Demon Slayer effect, where Japanese audiences hungry to go back to theaters blow up the box office numbers. Given how fickle it is, Japan will be an interesting place to see how it does. I'll be following it very closely this July here.

Kattozilla

Which youtuber? And what information are you talking about?

I’m lazy. 

Ohhhh man! God dang it. Well, I’ll be using my theory in my fanfic because Im almost done with the chapter where it matters and I don’t want to restart it. 

G. H. (Gman),

Being a bit pessimistic, King of the Monsters grossed $25,400,000 in Japan. Considering the fact that a lot might have seen Godzilla vs Kong on their phones, I expect the box office numbers to be below $20M.

He was awakened by the USS Nautilus in 1954. This is explained in Godzilla(2014). The Castle Bravo bomb test was an effort to kill him. The mission was codenamed "Lucky Dragon".

I don't hate it, it just makes me 'uncomfortable' because uuhhh...a certain youtuber talked about it and some bad stuff about that youtuber has been revealed and i kinda associate The Good Dinosaur with them and...yeah

Xenotaris

Uh...over dramatic, much?

Sorry about some of the mistypes there, my windows 8 laptop hates me as much as I hate it. 

If I have anything wrong, tell me.

My childhood drawings of dinosaurs looked alot better than their interpretations. The Land Before Time had better dinosaur designs than a Good Dinosaur, they shouldn't have tried to set it up as a what-if scenario if the asteroid missed.  The movie was made for anti-science people and pro-humanism people

Xenotaris

The Good Dinosaur was a fantasy movie it wasn't trying to be realistic. As for their designs, I don't think they were that bad, they were simple, stylized, almost child-like interpretations of dinosaurs. I see no problem with that...

Another hybrid idea would be a mix between a tyrannosaurus, a bear, a deinosuchus and a utahraptor.

actually as I mentioned they knew Tyrannosaurus had on two digits per hand, It was Walt Disney who added the third finger due to personal preference. 

The Good Dinosaur sucks because the dinosaur designs were just atrocious and the arrogant belief that humans would evolve anyways despite that dinosaurs would prevent mammals from taking any large roles in the ecosystem when you had microraptors and small dromaeosaurs already supplying the niche for primates. 

@BigDave, neat post to be sure...

"Clone their SOUL,"? What do you mean by SOUL?

I like to think of a person as just a person or a sentient machine as just a sentient machine. At some point religion clouds our judgement and morality.

Am I really free to do as I please or am I forever to be judged because what my SOUL retains from the creators higher ideas. Will we all ever be really free in the sense that we may choose our path truly independent of judgement.

This goes without saying of course that to live a free and virtuous life has nothing to do with the SOUL anyway. It just means you live a life that is fulfilling and not harmful to others. We are always taught through religion though that we are born with original sin and so in other words can never be free without being forgiven first for just existing.

For just the act of existing we are all already wrong and not allowed to pursue anything with out prior approval and forgiveness of our "SIN" the sin of just existing without excepting God's approval.

This negates real freedom.....now of course there are people that advocate you can only really have ever lasting real immortality through accepting God.

So this is just part of what RS was putting out there and you can see this most importantly through the cross that Dr. Shaw wears so prominently throughout the movie. Then Peter Weyland says himself in his own words...try harder to get me in contact with those GOD-LIKE aliens so I do not die and can have immortality.

He financed the entire mission because he believed the Engineers to be the progenitors of the seeding of Earth and so he believed they would have naturally invited him to join them because he made the journey to meet with them.

However, he comes to find that the Engineers are not the benevolent Gods he thought they may be and they kill him instead.

My point in all of this and for this discussion is that any way you look at it this entire universe is out to get all of us - and it does in the end. It gets all of us.

So the conclusion me must draw from all of these movies, tales, books, belief systems is that in the very end you and only you must rely on the tools that you truly believe in to sustain and extend yourself. Everything else is in fact a one way dead end street. Cloning and passing your consciousness into another construct is nonsense.

We must look much deeper at the meaning of the underlying operating systems that we are built from in order to understand how complex the problem of sustaining our atomic lattice would be to attain something even remotely close to immortality.

First there is the question of what really is an Atom...and if we have not fully figured out gravity well we don't really know anything about atoms. However, I digress...we know enough about atoms to replace them. So this will do for a very long time....if only there were a machine that worked quickly enough at the sub atomic level to rebuild atoms.....hummmmm I wonder ???? There seems to be another post about quantum computers some where and then sub atomic machines working faster than the speed of light....or some such nonsense like all the nonsense of these machine working right at the speed of light that we are all writing these posts with and such....oh well you can only illuminate the path for others so much before the lights go out for eternity.

@MonsterZero,

"If they cloned (path to immortality ) Peter Weyland, would he retain ownership of Weyland industries? or at least a voice in the company? I don't see the company wanting to deal with this and why he will remain dead."

If they made a sentient computer and transferred his consciousness to the hardware would he still own the company?

7amey,
I expect an over-under of $30M largely due to how expensive tickets for Hollywood movies are in Japan.

mmmmm

t o a s t

I'll see myself out...
