Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews: GAMERA VS. JIGER

[@mst3KGf]

I'd say the popularity of the Gamera movies among Japanese kids wasn't so much as giant monsters whaling on each other, but seeing kids just like them knowing everything and bossing all the adults around. Because in these movies, if a giant monster shows up, the closest 12 year old boy apparently declares martial law and takes over Japan.

[@henriquedearruda8902]

Jiger didn’t get Gamera Pregnant Gamera is a boy, Jiger is a Girl she was Pregnant and she layed her egg in Gamera like the tarantula Hawk wasp lay there eggs in Tarantulas

If what you're saying is true, that means the Gamera movies were really, and I mean REALLY, pandering to Japanese kids! Sort of like how the dub team for the first Pokemon movie, left the Alakazam error in to make kids feel smarter.

The reason for all the Expo '70 propaganda is because they co-financed the movie. Daei was in serious financial troubles in the 1970's. So the reason it's such a crisis that Jiger is trying to destroy Expo is because if she does then they won't have the funds to finish making the movie. Just get ready for the next one where Sea World is co-financing the movie.
