Just my blurb here. Even though I did think this was the best Millenium G movie, I too wish that Ghidorah and Mothra hadn't been shoehorned into this film. But instead of Varan and Anguirus, I think it should have been Rodan and Manda (sky and water respectively). Mothra worked much better in G: Tokyo S.O.S (my fav Millenium G film).

Angurius should have had some kind of role during GXMG (not a cameo though). Would've been a nice homage G Raids Again. And Varan should have been in a role (not a flashback) at the beginning of G: Final Wars. But all this is for a different post. And there it is.

[quote="PkmatrixAs for the fairies... there's one quick bit when Mothra is flying over the city and the camera focuses on two girls - I think the movie was trying to imply that they were the fairies, based on their expressions. I know it's a stretch, but that's what I got out of it...[/quote]

HUGE stretch. It was nothing more than an in-joke.

The appeal is a momentary "Ah, I remember! They were supposed to be the original Yamato Guardians for GMK." and, if it's your thing, the art style. It's not really a matter of moving on. If that were the case we'd have to berate anyone for doing anything Showa related.

Though I don't quite get how unused concepts celebrate the finished film's anniversary, but whatevs!

I was being nostalgic and saw the bootleg tape I first watched GMK on many years ago. So I wondered, what happened to the kid which clung to that film so desperately and held it as one of the most amazing things ever? I think it's exactly what I've complained about concerning another film.

Gamera 3 appealed to me because of its nonsensical mysticism, and GMK probably appealed to me in the same way. (I saw the two only two years apart) GMK undoubtedly is a decent G-film, but I think this sort of storytelling has lost its appeal with me. I liked the way Shusuke used it in things like GOTU or G2, where it's either a lot smaller, or spelled out in a better way. My problem is that it's not a subtle sort of mythology, it's clearly more complicated than we're privy to in the film's run time. I mean, yeah I've pieced it together, and it's not like it's brain surgery, but I feel like the film could have benefited with something much simpler. And it will always be the case that the film was tripped out of the gate by the addition of Ghidorah and Mothra.

I'm not sure how coherent or legitimate those claims are, but there they are.
