Norman does a lot of posting on Facebook that a lot of people can't see. He doesn't really want a lot to do with the fandom these days, despite having very close ties with people working on the movies... and he chooses who can see his posts pretty carefully, so I'm not about to share a bunch of stuff that I shouldn't (which would take quite a bit of digging through old posts anyway). Besides, I don't think anybody should be sharing anyone's private Facebook posts to begin with. He's also very selective about who he friends within the fandom. He's sort of quietly removed himself from the fandom community after having a lot of bad experiences. He's still a fan, he's just not involved in any level beyond a purely personal one.
I WILL say that he's been VERY skeptical about this new film and Higuchi's involvement as a director. (He had no kind words about Attack on Titan I'll leave it at that.).
But like with GFW, people just kinda seem to be throwing his pretty valid experiences and concerns (all based on his relationships win the film makers) to the wayside cuz "ZOMG A NEW GODZILLA MOVIE"
Hearing how troubled this production has been, I share the skepticism. I never want a Godzilla movie to be bad, so I'll be hopeful. But between the BTS stories and what I found to be a very underwhelming trailer, I'm not jumping up and down with glee like a lot of people seem to be.
