One thing that really annoys me about film award shows is you can tell many people have made up their mind as to who they’re going to nominate / give the award before so many of the other films have even been released!

[@user-zw6hv3fu2o]

Godzilla-1.0 was produced with only 35 VFX artists and on a budget of less than $15 million, but the resulting images are as high as Hollywood's. This is a technique that can only be achieved by director Takashi Yamazaki. It deserves the Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Director. What's more, Spielberg gave me the best cheer. The 96th Academy Awards for Visual Effects is no exaggeration to say that this is within director Takashi Yamazaki's reach.

[@stuartellner3172]

I loved this movie. I think it’s the best Godzilla movie after Gojira. With that said I hope there is not a direct sequel. I feel like the story was self contained in a single narrative. So even though it ends with the possibility of Godzilla returning, keep it as a one off and just do another Godzilla movie in an entirely new universe.

I’m excited, and more nervous to see more Godzilla from Japan. absolutely nailed both Shin & Minus 1 imo, There was a ton of older Godzilla movie references right ? I mean I felt like the tons of the movie was a ode to older movies. I hope to see another 30+ Godzilla films from Japanese creators, hopefully maybe being able to make stories across the world too. But I always felt American Godzilla was done poorly, or just not in the actual spirit of Godzilla that Toho created and I grew up with. Nowadays I think that Godzilla is Japans like natural resource, and depending on how well future projects turn out it could be something that pulls in money from everywhere, and helps continue Godzilla’s truest mission…. to bring peace and love. The only movie I don’t own is Biollante but I’ll get it someday. Maybe soon even, it just costs a lot right now. Thanks for making something that is core to my identity. I believe in Godzilla.

I can't wait to see your next upcoming "Godzilla: Minus One" sequel when it finally comes out. I wonder if we'll see another heroic version of Godzilla's main arch rival King Ghidorah show up to save humanity from Godzilla's wrath, like how he did in "Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters all Out Attack" (2001) film. I really really really wanna see King Ghidorah being seen as a more heroic and benevolent Guardian Monster, instead of a rampaging villainous Destroyer of Worlds (like his previous and current counterparts) because King Ghidorah himself has been seen way too often in many films, anime, video games, comics, manga as a Bad Guy in my honest opinion.
