Gonna chime in here & say that Godzilla films should never EVER be debased by turning them into Blood Fetishist Splatter Horror.

As a parent, I'll venture forth the opinion that such a move would chop the series' Box Office take by a large percentage.

Do we want these movies to be Good?
Do we want them Successful?

Then we want them made so everyone who sees them goes "That was Awesome!!"

(And it can be done)




Bottom line, though.. However Godzilla is depicted, be it Cheezy or Serious, these movies should Never be too scary/gory/etc. to show to Children.

Yes! I think at worst a G film should be PG-13. I'm not advocating a blood bath, but if there is a better word to use than put it here..."realistic" monster damage. You can show loss of life and physical damage without excess gore, but enough to not lose the teens and tweens that have seen much worse in their lives than I did at that age. If you show them, oh I don't know, King Kong getting blasted with atomic breath and the only damage is some singed hair...yawn...but if you show even a blackened area, not even blood, but reasonable damage, then you will have more acceptance with the general audience.

Remember, kids are more cynical, critical and savvy than back when we enjoyed 60's and 70's Godzilla fare...and those were by far the "bloodiest" of the entire genere...Godzilla spewing blood from his head, or neck...blood comming out of all the missles stuck in his flesh...Anguirus getting his jaw broken and bloodied...etc.

I am advocating a Godzilla film that is unsuited for children. I would rather have a gore fest of a Godzilla movie than a 60's era laugh fest. I liked G: FW, the only real film since 89 to have some creativity in it, some change. I hate children with a passion, and a part of me dies seeing such a great character being relegated to the land of ABC Family.

FINAL WARS and creativity in the same sentence?

People that truly DO hate children have some very serious psychological problems and I urge them to seek out psychiatric care before they find themselves doing something harmful.


Of note here is my own parenthood and Uncle-hood.. my love for my son, nieces & nephew, my Heavily armedness and my ability & willingness to convert to a bloody, dead mess anyone who I deem as a direct & immediate threat to Me & Mine.

Have a nice Day.
