[@LKB0]

I thought that was Godzilla getting tired and just dying

[@elementgermanium]

I think that was him collapsing from some unseen injuries

I'm guessing him being bones is a reference to either the original 1954 movie where the oxygen destroyer kills him which destroys his flesh turns him into a skeleton before it destroys his bones as well or the 2002 Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and 2003 Tokyo SOS which retcons the ending of 1954's Godzilla to having his skeleton survive and used to build Kiryu the Millennium era's Mechagodzilla around his skeleton

@@Peusterokos1 You are 100% correct, I definitely just switched the C named Arnold movies there when I commented. Commando has the great one liners like "Blow off some steam, Bennett." and the rocket launcher when he storms that island mansion thing. All I really remember from Collateral Damage is him going, "Collateral damage?! I'll show you f@$%ing collateral damage!"

[@fireblade696]

What do you mean by “wanted a good guy comparable to the likes of Chuck Norris in the original”? Also I loved your part of the vid btw.

[@ColtenSeamans]

@@fireblade696 Thanks and so my section was part of the chorus and I had free reign to animate whatever characters from pop culture that I wanted to because the lyrics weren't specific to anyone. It just needed to relate to good guys, bad guys, and explosions, as the song talks about. The original song/animation had musical artists like Aaron Carter, fictional characters like Batman, and action movie stars like Jackie Chan and Chuck Norris. I wanted my picks for good guys and bad guys to not feel out of place and have that same range as the original. So there's Billie Eilish covering the music section, and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the action movie star. Chuck Norris was a different kind of 80's action guy, but Arnold was definitely in that realm.

It's actually referencing when Godzilla, after fighting the M.U.T.Os (massive unidentified terrestrial organism) walked back to the ocean in 2014, soon to be seen again in Godzilla: King of the Monsters in 2019 when he fought Monster 0. (aka Ghidorah)

[@aburnoutfailurewithsomemem3085]

[@starkillerisbetterthanturt4191]

@@AIephNullity Not really. You'll notice that Godzilla returning to the ocean is not a trope specific to 2014's Godzilla. Dozens of other films end their run with the exact same scene, furthermore Godzilla definitely isn't returning to the ocean as his body language is that of a dying creature. The weak attempts to stay steady, the slump as he begins to fall ,and most telling of all, his inability to charge and fire atomic breath.

Is it the power of love? Course it is, but it's more so that Mr. Rogers had the most of it. Also the fact that the Black Knight can survive being dismembered and still lost is hilarious.
