Research Can Be A Great Thing

The pinnacle of all overly long responses to a video that alot of us didn't like.
This video will see as I go through a rather prominent yet bogus video by one Doktor Skipper stating, & trying to make the claim that, "Godzilla Can't Work In America", where I will go through each of his points and claims to explain what exactly is wrong with the video and why it, in short, ain't that great.
This video was alot of work to put together, and it was really my first attempt at a long-form type of content, so creating this was quite an experience. I hope you all enjoy, & I thank you for stopping by.
Other notes
-Cannot believe I didn't mention the fact he said Hong Kong is part of China when it aint exactly. I still referred to it as "China" in response to what he said since he thought China was the place being destroyed.
-I do not mean this video to convey my own views of the necessity and ethics of the atomic bomb attack, the controversy I mentioned is not necessarily one I agree or go along with. It exists out there, so it's mentioned.
-When I say "Nuclear Power" is bad, I'm referring to negative examples, such as weapons being used , power plant collapses, etc. I do not meant to potentially convey a sense of ALL nuclear power being bad, because its not.
Also, unfortunately, as you may or may not notice, the audio may sound odd for brief moments, or the video resolution will not appear to be so high. I'm assuming these were all results of my editing software exporting such an unusually massive video. Apologies for this, currently trying to find ways to resolve this issue for next time.
And finally, a disclaimer:
This video is not a call to go harass Doktor Skipper. You should CRITICISE him, just not harrass him. There is a difference. Criticizing his content allows you to make point on why somethings should be changed, but harassing him makes you look vile, and not worth paying attention to.
Anyway that's all.

I mean I can kind of see where it's coming from if Godzilla is meant to represent the Nukes that America dropped on Japan. Just having Godzilla or the Nukes without the context can make for a disingenuous interpretation of the event. The interpretation is, that Japan did nothing and America devastated them with nukes (Large Monster in this case). Even if you disagree with the nuking of Japan it is still important to get further context of the situation at the time. it'd be like making a movie right after the start American War of Independence and not bringing up the Taxation without Representation, or the Shot heard around the world. In this version you just see a bunch of people fighting for no reason. It's also different for Turning Red as the movie has nothing to do with 9/11 or politics and just so happens to take place around the same period. It is also in a completely different country. Pearl Harbour has a direct link to the Nukes which I assume Godzilla is meant to represent.

I've noticed a trend in filmmaking, particularly among the big budget franchises like superhero films, where anytime someone makes a movie that's more avant-garde, people immediately hop on the bandwagon and proclaim that all the other films are childish worthless tripe because they're not serious and real, or don't have a message. This has been the latest entry in the trend, but by Godzilla if it wasn't one of the stupidest. Godzilla has been one of the most fluid and adaptable franchises in film history, especially since I'm pretty sure it's the longest running film franchise of all time. I see people way too soon to dismiss the more pulp-action sci-fi elements in favor of a grounded film about a beast attacking a city, and acting like nothing creative or intelligent can be made in a movie about two or more monsters fighting each other. You can easily turn each monster into an allegory for a specific thing (something Godzilla movies do frequently).

[@ElvenRaptor]

Well said. This is a lot like the shitshow that was the summer of 2008 when "Iron Man" and "The Dark Knight" both came out. Fans of the latter flamed the former to a crisp for not being as serious, even though "Iron Man" wasn't trying to be as serious as "The Dark Knight" to begin with.

[@leithaziz2716]

Godzilla Minus One is suffering from the "Andor" reception where something so good warps new fans into treating everything that came before as childish because it's not as mature, and therefore deeming it as less worthwhile. And that is *not* how art works. A movie like Pacific Rim isn't gonna change how you view the world, but that doesn't mean the people who made that film put any less of their heart and soul into it. The result is a love letter to Mecha and Kaiju that's respected by many fans of those genres. You can fit a similar argument into a comedy film.

[@user-gw3bs2in5i]

Yeah, people who say stuff like that honestly annoy the heck out of me. Like, I enjoy odd abstract takes on superheroes, but I still love stuff like the mcu for what it is. Sometimes I can appreciate when a movie fully embraces its more goofy mainstream elements.

Commenter "The point of this entire video is destroyed when you realize Japan made Godzilla more of a hero figure than America ever did." 3. Commenter "No way dude really thinks Godzilla is public domain in America 😭😭😭"

[@shakachoarroyo]

I fucking hate how wannabe "critics" like this. Are we (Americans) just not allowed to like Godzilla??? The big guy can mean a lotta things, and what he means to Japan doesn't need to be the same as what he means to America. I like that JP Godzilla movies recently tackle societal issues while US Godzilla mainly tackles humanity's relationship with nature. In a way, it kinda fits, since we in the west tend to view things more in a global lens, while Japan tends to focus on itself generally.

Children were born for years with genetic alterations because of the radiation, such as some being born blind if I recall correctly. He fails to acknowledge the massive impact it had on the Japanese people and the world itself. There's a reason why Americans feared the USSR after WWII, and its because of the nuclear arms race that occurred and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Something truly eerie about the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as well were the shadows. Those who were close to the bomb and were vaporized upon its explosion had their imprints made in the ground of the last thing they were doing before they died.

As a Godzilla fan, I respect every movie for what it is. I love how MV and Heisei depict him as a neutral force of nature. I enjoy the first few and Minus One for their antagonistic depiction. I love the over the top action in the rest of Showa. I can’t say I like GMK because Ghidorah doesn’t work as a hero, but I still do respect the film (the music was amazing). I really like the unique design at the start of Millenium. I love the idea of Kiryu being possessed by the ghost of ‘54 Godzilla (which is why he is my favorite Mechagodzilla). I think FW was a fitting end for an era. I think ‘98 is respectable as long as you consider it its own thing and not Godzilla.

And it’s so weird coming from someone who started off their video by basically saying they don’t give a shit about Godzilla and never have. Like he has no stake in this and is trying to discredit an entire country’s take on the character which, as you’ve pointed out many times in the video, isn’t even a take on Godzilla that’s original to the US. What an odd video. And those last couple minutes of him encouraging people to do their research before giving their take on a topic is peak irony.

“Its also ok to enjoy movies that exist just to be fun” is a take that i wish more people would understand. The legendary godzilla movies can be typical hollywood “slop” that can lack depth in its writing at times but they are FUN and ENJOYABLE. The worst thing a film can do is be boring (in my opinion at least) and american godzilla films (98 included) are the farthest thing from boring. They might not always have deep story telling or the best writing but they are an insanely fun ride that i will continue to enjoy over and over again. Serious beautifully written artistic goji films and fun campy action goji films can and should exist side by side and are both equally enjoyable and valid in their existence.

Contrary to popular belief, Godzilla is super easy to adapt. Why? Well, to quote Godzilla artist Matt Frank: *_"Godzilla is a western monster through a Japanese lens."_* Not only that, but if we define a kaijū's nationality label on the grounds of who adapted it, then Godzilla is Japanese-American because the American Godzilla has always been the Toho Godzilla since 1956, and the current MonsterVerse iteration has all the characteristic of the Toho Godzilla to a tee, so it all comes full circle. In conclusion, Godzilla works exceptionally well in America. The only time it didn't was 1998 due to the film project being handed over to a director who hated the source material to begin with.

I’m glad to see someone calling this guy out on his shit. I’ve been recommended his channel a few times, and every time I’ve had to tell KZbin to stop recommending it to me since he clearly makes videos that are made solely to feed the culture war in nerd culture that can always be summarized as “thing was better when I was a kid, but now that I’m an adult thing doesn’t hit the same :(“

The monsterverse and Shin Godzilla really just made Godzilla popular again. In fact, it's the only other cinematic universe that continues to be successful.

Its really great how the entire fanbase just united against that video, because we all share a love of that big radioactive lizard.

You know its gonna be good when the guy has such a cinematic illiteracy that he can't stop comparring anything to the MCU. You know its gonne be good when the guy put the fucking Syndrom theme from the Incredibles when talking about real historic tragedy. YOU KNOW ITS GONNA BE GOOD WHEN THE GUY TALK ABOUT PEOPLE DYING OF RADIATION POISONNING AND CAN'T FUCKING DO IT WITHOUT A LAUGH IN HIS VOICE
