Does most of our fandom have autism/Aspergers? And I am not trying to poke fun at Autism. I think this is a legitimate question. I think a lot of those traits of those conditions describe a lot of kaiju fans.

Do these people not remember what the 90s were like? Having bootlegs be the only way to get Godzilla movies because no one would import them? Treasuring pan and scanned VHS tapes because that was only what was available or having to set up a VCR to record a kaiju film that you had never seen before that was only playing at 3:00am? These fans should be kissing these companies asses. Are there any other fandoms that have to put up with this?

I keep thinking THIS is the new Godzilla...

Wouldn't surprise me... There's a couple things like that sprinkled through the exhibit and they match things on both of the recent posters.

When it comes to Batman, Star Wars, Marvel characters, etc, you expect the characters to act and look like they are "supposed" to act and look, and they almost always do when it comes to any film or product made here in the US.
But there has always been a different standard with Godzilla.
Take a dinosaur like a t-rex, stick some kind of fins on the back, make him green, black, gray, whatever, and that's Godzilla.
Non fans don't seem to see the difference or think that it matters.

The lack of more info or pics from yesterday is probably stirring up memories from that same attitude that producers had with Godzilla 98.

Oh, for sure...I can understand a little panic, but what a lot of the fanboys seem to be doing go way beyond that.

It's sad, that after Legendary put so much money into this even that it would be deemed a failure by most G-Fans apparently. (And I'm not saying that's entirely unjustified....doing all of this and not showing Godzilla seems like a mis-step in marketing....but it's the guys who botched Pac Rim so what do you expect)
