No i agree with you. Ive never seen the english dub mind you, so i wouldnt know about it.
But the movie isnt bad, but its not good
Honestly (and this might be an unpopular opinion) I always felt that Godzilla Raids Again was one of the lesser films in the series. I feel like it tried too hard to be like the original but didn't really capture the spirit of it. Technically the best thing in it was the fight with Anguirus, but even then it's not one of Godzilla's most memorable battles. It's not bad, just kind of forgettable. The English dub for it is hilariously bad though.
Fireteam's story was very lackluster, between the dropship pilot threatening to blow you up/abandoning you if you miss the ETA and the mission control lady being very panicky and the NARM lore tidbits the REQ Officer spouts about how cartoonishly evil the Weyland Yutani Corporation is.
Olivia Shipp's marines lacked discipline and were little more than space pirates at this point. Say what you will comparing Gorman's troops but at least Gorman had the excuse of being an inexperienced Lieutenant manipulated by a corporate agent
YAY!!!!! (Sarcastic)
Yeah that is why in my Gojiverse and Rise of the Kaiju I made Anguirus a basal archosaur instead of being a mutant ankylosaurus
See with Fireteams ignoring Arcturians is what I mean about Alien canon being spotty and inconsistent. It feels like most people that get assigned a project don't always take everything seriously much like the Marvel comics where he openly admits to retconning Alien 3 and Resurrection. I wish someone had stopped him from doing that. No one did.
Fireteams was average to me. Better than Colonial Marines but ultimately unremarkable. Just another generic horde shooter. I do appreciate the lore, it shows the developers care more about a consistent universe than Marvel does. Marvel feels like glorified fan fiction
I agree, not too mention that Miranda and Jacob Keyes don't even look like themselves from the games
i am so frickin ready for this
I was saying reviving Billie and Wilks as characters, not adaptate the Earth War but hey it that might end up being a bad idea.
Do we have a list of what all Andrew Gaska considers canon?
ninXeno426 - Andrew Gaska is the person who has been keeping the Alien canon bible. I don't know to what extent he has been working with Disney so far, but I believe he has been consulted on recent novels and games, and he has written much of the RPG.
I finally bought Fireteam Elite. I hesitated for a long time because I don't care for co-op games and because the reviews were pretty mixed. I am playing it solo, which is challenging but not as much as I thought it would be. I have found it to be a much, much better experience than I expected. It is drawing from the first three movies, Prometheus, Alien Echo, the tie in novel Infiltrator, and the RPG (quite a lot actually, particularly with reference to the Frontier War), and generally does a GREAT job with the "new" cannon. The lore aspect is probably the best part, in fact. Parts of the game take place in Engineer ruins, and its great to see the introduction of these aspects into the Alien gaming universe. My only complaint, lore-wise, so far, has been the repeated statement that humans have not encountered intelligent beings in the alien universe. Both the movies and the RPG have mentioned the Arcturians, the RPG going further in the development of this aspect. I feel like they missed a little bit there. Otherwise, its pretty great.
I think I like 98 now, but the series is much better than the movie
that png is now mine thanks
"It's different from the originals and is experimental, which, according to Reiwa series fans, automatically makes it good!"
I feel targeted lol
Im not backing down on my stance of S.P tho
i feel as if this was meant to summon me
@Nicozilla

hmmmm....
I was trying to find a post that you made a while ago, that came to mind but it seems to have been deleted, or it was never real and something my brain made up
After failing to invade the Earth in 2002, the Vortaak return to Earth two years later with all of the monsters under their control, with their ultimate weapon, SpaceGodzilla. The player assumes the role of a monster who has broken free of the control, regardless of what monster is picked. If the player completes the game on hard mode with Godzilla 2000, a cutscene will be shown where Godzilla creates a black hole by blowing off SpaceGodzilla's shoulder crystals, which sucks him in, thus saving the world.
The original story during development was much more elaborate, involving the Vortaak infiltrating human society to steal G-cells.
or hell.

That was my point, in my eyes the Goji anime got away with that giant scale, without the building s to contrast
It would work, of course. But placing dinosaurs in every shot Godzilla is in wouldn't work out so well. I'm sure with the right camerawork and VFX tricks they can convey that scale, but I think it will be hard to be as impactful as Godzilla stomping around in a city.
I don't think the size of Godzilla would matter that much, what matters is the sense of scale. I'm sure Godzilla Earth would have felt even bigger in a city, towering above the skyline. Recall that the film is set in the future.
The Best Godzilla Game! (At least in my opinion).
To teleport as Gigan hold L2 and R2 (for the PS2 version).
Toho Kingdom has a full list of the monsters and their attacks (both PS2 and XBox):
"I think that he's totally wrong about Hicks and Newt being killed off"
I already mentioned that Miss Weaver wanted to be KILLED OFF, and i had Mentioned before that you could NOT go and Continue with NEWT unless you either had the STORY set say 7 Years after ALIENS or you Re-Cast some other 10 Year Old to PLAY NEWT.
However i cant see WHY they had to KILL OFF the Character Hicks... but whats DONE is DONE and i dont think any of these Characters should be BROUGHT BACK!
But saying that.... with Novels and Comics it allows for them to Bring Back Characters or Expand the Franchise that may Conflict the Movies, and with these Comics/Novels if these Stories do-not Interest you then Fans can Choose to IGNORE them..... while others can Choose to Enjoy them....
I see them as Alternative Realities.
I think that when it comes down to ALIEN... then the Xenomorph was ALIEN but so was the SPACE JOCKEY. With the ADVENT of the Prequels and Especially with PROMETHEUS....
The Xenomorph was ALIEN, we had LV-426 and the Derelict, and so by Extension then LV-223 is ALIEN, the Experiments on LV-223 and Black Goo is ALIEN and the Engineers are ALIEN.
Ridley Scott had taken the Franchise out of the BOX.... and Neil Blomkamp would likely had PLACED it back in the Box (Derelict from LV-426, Alien 3 does-not Exist and Ripley is back some 25 Years latter).
I have said MANY TIMES that we NEED to look beyond that SMALL BOX of what 50LY where ALIEN had taken Place etc...
1)Do we assume that Earth is the ONLY place that had Humans say prior to the year 2000 lets say?
2) Is Earth/Humans the ONLY Species like us the Engineers had Created, Evolved and Visited?
3) Are the Engineers ONLY on Planet 4 and LV-223?
4) Is LV-223 the ONLY Outpost of the Engineers where they Conduct such Experiments?
5) Have the Engineers Tested or USED the Bio-Weapons on other Worlds? if so WHY and WHAT had became of these!
6) Was the Derelict the ONLY Ship to have such a Cargo?
7) WHY cant we have a Spin-Off thats either SET in a FAR FAR AWAY place? Or other Galaxy? Or even in the PAST?
The Last One is Important because we can have Humans in the PAST or FAR FAR AWAY and Connect to the Characters.... do they Speak English?
Well WHY do we have Humans in Star Wars in a Galaxy Far Far Away, who Speak English by Coincidence?
No its because we seem to Connect more with Human Characters and they Speak English for our CONVENIENCE!
And so WHY cant we do the same with ALIEN? take BSG/Caprica... other Human Colonies who are FAR from Earth..... I think its Arrogant to Assume that in Context to Prometheus that Mankind was Created on Earth!
The Engineers could have Brought us to Earth.... maybe without the Knowledge of the REST of their Kind?
Or maybe the Engineers could have TAKEN some of us in the PAST to other Worlds? The Problem comes when we TRY and do such Stories... some Fans will be like... WHERE IS THE XENOMORPH?
You cant have a ALIEN MOVIE without them? But the THING that Ridley Scott was trying to to was OPEN the Franchise to a SPIN OFF Series.
You can have that... but you can also do something NEW... we cant think the Engineers are ONLY INTERESTED in Black Goo Horrors, Xenomorphs and the like!
"Maybe I'll make some disappointed when I say this but here it goes - I've never seen the alien-story being about Ripley having a family and everything being about a happy ending and whatever"
Ripleys Story was our Proxy to the Franchise, she had her Story and i thought with ALIEN 3 she had the Right Conclusion it was a Fitting END and we have to Remember it was Miss Weaver who wanted to be KILLED OFF.
So that CONCLUDED the Franchise at the TIME..... until they wanted to make a ALIEN 4, which when we looked at the Trilogy it seemed the Xenomorph was Encountered on LV-426..... Ripley had Survived but was Floating in Space for 57 Years and she tried to WARN the Company about LV-426 where they then said its OK we have a Colony there for SOME TIME.... its only after the Co-Ordinates are given to Hadleys Hope that we get our 2nd Encounter via the Jordens. We conclude with Hadleys Hope being NUKED and we ASSUME thats the END of the Xenomorph.
We get to ALIEN 3 and they come up with some Plot about EGGS getting on the Sulaco, and then DISCOVERING that Ripley is Impregnated the Company are Contacted.... we CONCLUDE with Ripley Sacrificing herself to STOP the Company getting the Xenomorph and we have to ASSUME this left the Company with NO WAY to Obtain them!
HENCE the Obtain a Specimen via Cloning Ripley some 200 Years latter PLOT... they Felt you NEED the Xenomorph in a ALIEN MOVIE and i would Agree at that TIME, but they also FELT you NEEDED to get Ripley back some how....
WHAT they FAILED to look at after ALIEN 3 was the Following.
1) Was the Derelict on LV-426 the ONLY SHIP like it with the Same/Similar Cargo in the Galaxy?
2) Where was the Xenomorph Obtained by the Space Jockey? A Creation, Experiment on something else, or Obtained as they were from some other WORLD?
But they seemed to NOT have much Ideas, or the Balls to TRY a Movie where you DONT have to bring back RIPLEY!
And so WHEN looking to Explore the Franchise then YES i dont see WHY you have to think you NEED to have Ripley back...... but seems that THOSE who are in Charge and others who COME UP with ideas, seem to think its PLAYING IT SAFE to bring back Ripley (Various Alien V ideas).
With Star Wars you can Explore a Character who had DIED, by looking at their Past...... Sadly you cant do that with RIPLEY if a ALIEN MOVIE does-not have any Xenomorphs or Related.... and i think it would be SILLY to have a STORY thats Set before ALIEN or between ALIEN-ALIENS with Ripley and Xenomorphs.
It will be Interesting to SEE what the MOVIE would be About and WHAT kind of Connections it makes to the Franchise, the same can be said with the TV Series (which i think will CONFLICT the Franchise).
