Isn't it _the_ longest running (film) franchise in existence? Edit: Apparently, Guinness World Records recognizes it as the longest _continuously_ running franchise in existence.
Just when the Godzilla community was a bit divided over Monsterverse vs Toho, Skipper comes along and unites the entire fandom against him. Beautiful thing to see
Shin Godzilla wasnt mentioned ONCE despite him talkinf big about how minus one was the first in a while to ve low budget and have a good message. Im actually livid.
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.
This is a prime example of the attitude that's so common in media critique nowadays, which is that the quality of a piece of media is exactly proportional to how deep/complex/philosophical it is, and that anything else is "slop".
@@justfellicitya The bureaucracy was criticized. If you think that’s such a “terrible response,” then I have bad news for you. The vast majority of democratic nations would have a similar, if not worse response if faced with their own nuclear disaster due to bureaucratic interference and red tape. A real terrible response to a nuclear disaster is how the soviet union handled chernobyl. In the end, the Fukushima “disaster” was completely overblown by the west which is shown not only by initial reporting from western news outlets but also by ignorant people like yourself who still regard it as some gargantuan catastrophe to this day.
@@asianbeowulf4276 Dude, chill. I'm literally referencing that Shinzo Abe deliberately meant for Shin to be a satirical criticism of the Japanese government's response to Fukushima. The Days also shows the terrible response. That's not to say other governments aren't also bad about responses to their own disasters, but using that in your argument is a fallacy.
"Not alot of people know Godzilla is form japan" Meanwhile the biggest Godzilla joke. Japanese man appears on screen. Screams "GODZILLA!" in a heavy accent. Runs away
Also, Godzilla movies are where the whole "Asian man mouths a lot of words and then just says 'Godzilla!!! AAAAAHHH!' after his mouth closes" comes from. The dubbing in those early movies was horrible.
> claims to have watched a lot of godzilla movies > appears to understand that godzilla is famously unfazed by confentional weapons > gets confused when the military is unable to harm the radioctive super-dinosaur
He doesn't like it, he LOVES it. He was friends with director of GxK and said it himself that G:MO was inspired by MV movies. He even owns a toy of Evolved Godzilla.
“First Americanized Godzilla” if he did any form of basic research, he’d know that Godzilla, King of the Monsters! came out in 56’, heavily edited for American audiences.
While we're at it: the American Godzilla has always been the Toho Godzilla because of that 1956 adaptation. And yes, it technically counts as an adaptation. Despite being the same general story and the same film footage, it isn't the same movie; sequences were rearranged, the story is told through a flashback instead of events unfolding in real time, and there's the addition of a new character in the form of Raymond Burr's Steve Martin.
@@MrAwsomeness360 Let's not forget that Raymond Burr was the GOAT of western actors in the franchise, who cited his work in G:KotM '56 as his favorite role, and single handedly forced the studio to completely rewrite the scrips for Godzilla 1985.
Godzilla 98: am I a joke to you? Godzilla fans: *YYYYEEEESSSS!!!!* Godzilla 98: *(Breaths fire,continues to exist)* Toasted Surviving Godzilla fans: Okay, so not a joke, still not Godzilla.
Now there is one thing I'll say is that he DID technically acknowledge 1998 but only very briefly saying "Yes, the first Americanized Godzilla. Because 1998 never happened". So I'll give him props that he got ONE thing over on us but it doesn't excuse his dogsh*t video.
Godzilla Minus One was peak but it’s success has brought forth a lot of annoying film bros who act like they’re Godzilla experts when they probably at most only like 3 movies
Yeah. This has become a trend in newer video essay narrations. Not that it never existed before, but voice-overs like this are everywhere now. I'm not sure if it's a nervous tick or a conscious rhetorical trick. Nothing particularly funny or clever is being said, but if the narrator sounds like he's about to crack up, then we're expected to likewise find the subject matter worthy of mockery, or the script witty. It's one thing to crack yourself up in a conversation with your friends, but these video essayists laugh at their own jokes in pre-recorded, scripted material. It's mildly pathetic.
@@GenerateSilence thank you so much for sayin this. Seriously I haven’t been able to put it exactly what you said into words but it’s exACTLY what’s happening. It’s not even JUST in video essayists either. I’ve even noticed it happening in social settings outside of the internet and it’s fuckin ROUGH to witness.
This guy thought “I’ll just make fun of this series since minus one did good, everyone will agree with me!” Not realizing he’s got a 70+ years worth of a fan base ready to tear him a new asshole.
@@Paleowgh I'd take one for the team and wear a Torogoji (not 100% certain if I spelled it right, or if this is even the correct name for '98 Goji, so please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) suit lol
Well to be fair, the movie is a response about the Fukushima nuclear disaster, which is much more internal. Godzilla (1954) and Godzilla: Minus One (2023) were both commentaries on the Atomic Bomb and WW2, so of course they were going to have different perspectives on their own side.
Further Shin Godzilla is a DIRECT analog of the OG Gojira being a horrific manmade horror just modernized. It's literally everything he praises Minus One for, including Godzilla murdering Japanese civilians which he LOVES.
With the exception that Shin Godzilla doesn't do anything without something causing him to react back. He just walks in a straight line. Never mind shooting at him, just clear a wide area in his path and let the idiot walk lol Even better, since he walks in a straight line, set up a trap for him _outside the city_ (which leads into the government incompetence the film is about)
“A lot of people didn’t know Godzilla originated in Japan” Bro, Blue Öyster Cult didn’t make a hit rock song about Godzilla in the 70s with the line “Oh no! There goes Tokyo” for him to say people “didn’t know”. its like saying people don’t know Pokemon or Dragon Ball is from Japan because it’s so popular.
Basically this is like if you said "Did you know that the Transformers are aliens and turn into vehicles. SURPRISING, AIN'T IT.". I don't really hate the video I just find it very ridiculous.
@@DOOMZILLA2-f3b I always imagined a music video where godzillas' back is a guitar with "fret" scales on his tail, and his back plates lighting up in tandem with the lead guitar as he looks in on them.
This floors me because I thought EVERYONE got that Godzilla was a physical manifestation of the horrors the atom bombs WE dropped upon them. It's like the one thing people know and it's not even a stretch like bikini bottom from spongebob being a reference to nuclear testing at the bikini atoll. It's well understood as manifestation of trauma from that nuke
Skipper reminds me of my edgy and pretentious teenager years when The Dark Knight came out, people were praising it to high heavens about how it did the "source material" justice, while shitting on the 60's version and how that one was campy and goofy, yeah no shit Sherlock, it's like they were made in different eras by different people with different ideologies and it's completely useless to directly compare them against each other.
As a kid I grew up knowing batman as this dark and brooding hero so I cringed when seeing the campiness of the 60's batman, but the "batman the brave and the bold" did a really damn good job of paying homage to the campiness of that era while keeping batman the badass detective he is. It's a show I go back to constantly.
@@apeasant8550 BTB&B was pretty special, since it portrayed him less brooding and emphasized more the idealized hero. There was still somewhat brooding but it shows how Batman would be if he had somewhat worked around this aspect of himself, hence why hes more of a role model. Also it's fun seeing how they adapted silver age silliness.
The “Godzilla is a force that we cannot stop and shows how we are powerless against nature are. Now watch him kicks some Ass.” Line is my favorite thing I heard man. Godzilla for life.
I still can't believe he accused 2014 Godzilla of being racist, while also trying to hold back his laughter when talking about Japanese fishermen _dying._
That and the literal parasitic monsters of the movie that want to take over the earth and destroy everything are a representation of Japan. Wow he did not think that through.
Fun fact, the JSDF stopped working with TOHO in the mid-90's due to the scene in Godzilla Vs Mothra 1992 where they attack Mothra as she swims to Tokyo. Because it made them look like they were bad guys and attacking a "good" monster. Even in Japan the armed forces are sensitive to their portrayal in these movies.
Especially Japan, the media's depiction of the military as a whole is even more controversial over there than the US. On the one hand, it couldn't glorify the military too much without raising a few eyebrows in and out of Japan, but on the other hand, it still couldn't completely shit on it.
And if you want an example of "JSDF Fuck Yeah" media on the level of Top Gun, GATE (full title GATE: Thus the JSDF Fought In Their Land) is your piece.
@@scooterdescooter4018 its fun as a "turn off your brain and lets have some fun" anime, but I do remember it having some issues then as being too glorifying and such. Not that its a bad thing but people have said even in japan that at times it feels like a government recruiting op
Okay... We can all clown on him for a distressing lack of knowledge about Godzilla, but the fact his WWII knowledge sounds like it comes from meme reactions honestly makes me more depressed about our education systems.
Man I thought me learning most of what I know about history from TH-cam videos was bad but Doctor Skipper 100% sounds like he has a Degree in World War 2 Studies from Countryballs University 😭
The irony of him accusing Hollywood of being lazy and soulless, stating that people should support real art, while also advertising an AI "art" generator...
@@KaygeeFromNanotrasen One video that was full of errors, lack of research and misinformation made by someone that said he doesn’t even like the franchise.
And who could forget one of Godzilla's most deadly recurring rivals? Monster Zero, The King of Terror, the Golden Wings of Demise himself; *_Some Random Three-Headed Dragon Of No Real Significance!_*
@@simpleviewer1334 and a promoter of traffic safety too like even people who got into the analog horror man in the suit just make comments that dude has found a new purpose in life since then XD (And is happier in life too)
Like even IF the mutos came from japan, they're still a threat to humanity, which INCLUDES Japan. Meaning japan doesn't like those either, it just doesn't work.
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).
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.
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.
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.
hedorah destoroya mothra or godzilla gmk among others, they are a clear example of that even the original king king vs godzilla is an asian satire of capitalism and to companies when they compete with each other
That and the moment he said “Godzilla has no culture impact” Then why else would people compare Tyranitar and Volcarona to Godzilla and Mothra so much for so long?
I just watched all the chaos insew. I had a feeling this would happen when I saw it in my recommended page (I am a huge Godzilla fan). The title of the video was even proven wrong.
“Research the things you watch.” Nah man I’d rather just watch something and have fun. Dude sounds like he speaks in Times New Roman: Size 12 MLA Format Next he’s gonna say we need to take notes during the movie.
Doktor Skipper seems like a guy who's so deeply irony poisoned, they cannot separate memeing and joking around sarcastically from actual delivery of factual information.
@@NayrAnurthe difference is cinema sins does it for humour and laughs. No-one takes it seriously thats why it’s fun. This guy was actually passing it off as legitimate information to be taken seriously.
@ProtocolAbyss that would be a good argument, but cinemasins ALSO passes off info like that as legitimate criticism, for instance, stuff like the intro credits
I hate the type of people that go: "if this movie does not make me thing about life twice and make my heart stop then its utter garbage, and if a movie has the military in it that belongs to my country, its still utter garbage."
He didn't even "apologize" on his youtube video (Pinned comment). He’d rather comment “Here’s the link of my Patreon” lmfao. Did he expect anyone would read his half assed apology on Twitter? Hypocrite at his finest, of course he won’t take down the video
Okay I agree that the video was terrible, but it is NOT worth an apology😭that’s so Twitter brain rot, at the very least, he should publicly acknowledge it was terrible and a small stain on his credibility. It’s funny that the whole Big G fandom tore him a new one tho!
"America started trolling" This is what happens when your main research on World History is Countryballs Edit: Yall kids are so defensive over Countryballs. Just bc you're not Gay like Countryhumans doesn't mean you're anything saner.
@@rickyrackey7930Japan killed exactly 2,043 people, mostly being US military personal. The two nuclear bombs killed roughly 226,000 people and most were Civilian casualties who had nothing to do with the war. Japan found out that America was willing to murder hundreds of thousands of innocent lives as pay back for only two thousand soilders.
I can’t express how much of a sensory overload doctor skippers videos are that it makes it impossible to actually listen to what he’s saying because he throws a new gif on screen every nanosecond
People criticizing things they know nothing about can be so infuriating when you’re part of the fandom they’re misunderstanding. It’s like… just don’t be so lazy…
I think the reason why he said that Godzilla is in the public domain in the west. Is so he can make it seem like the American films have nothing to do with Toho.
Which is ridiculous because we didn’t get Minus One until the Legendary movies were done being made. I just hope Toho and Legendary decides to do a movie each instead of waiting years to take their turn.
honestly the funniest part to me about the "no cultural impact" bit Pokémon from conception was 50% content inspired by or taken from Toho properties. Godzilla quite literally inspired the financially biggest video game franchise of all time lol
Doktor skipper is the type of American who loves to shit on everything american even if factually being incorrect, just to get brownie points with other countries only to also laugh at said other countries tragedies
“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. Tbh thats kinda the beauty of the franchise and why i love godzilla; it legitimately has a mix of everything and i love it all ^v^
nah... LET THEM FIGHT TOHO PURIST and DR. SKIPPER are both walking contradictions and massive hypocrites that is competing against each other to who has the right to decide what GODZILLA IP should be. both sides are garbage.
I'm an artist. I like to draw. But honest to god I fucking cringe hard and roll my eyes to my insides when some pretentious snob goes on about a philosophical question of "but what is art?". Art is basically a physical manifestation created by someone's ideas whose intent and purpose is to express oneself and show it off to people so they can emit whatever emotion they have in mind at said art. It doesn't necessarily needs to have a deep or moral message in your piece. This can be even up to interpretation for both the artist and viewer. Hell, even what you created was for the sole purpose of just "being cool", another person might even see something else you didn't intend. One example of it is Skipper's review. Is art, but a meaningless and shit one at that.
14:50 WTF is he laughing for? Literally nothing he's describing is funny even in the slightest, yet he sounds like he's holding back the biggest wheezer he's ever had. Like, he's not even visualizing it in a funny way.
As a lifelong Godzilla fan, I can confidently say that Godzilla is something alot of people think they know all about when they absolutely do not. This is a perfect example
One of the worst parts about this is that any young Godzilla fan or any young fan of anything will believe someone with a deep voice funny jokes and a quick editing style.
Yeah and when you go against that TH-camr a 15 year old says. "WOMP F*CKING WOMP" over and over again like it means something (the f word is censored because TH-cam is stupid and takes down "negative comments" yes TH-cam does take down comments on videos. And it's stupid. If I'm wrong. I don't care because it's better to be cautious. Just in case
What are you one about? Everything is goofy and highly simplistic and has been so for decades. We are desperately starved of meaningful art to the point we've forgotten that there is value in this stuff beyond profit.
Why does he complain that Godzilla lacks meaning when pretty much ever film has the message of “history shows again and again how nature points up the folly of men”
My man cooked this one to perfection. I only wish guys like Skipper and Nerdstaglic had bothered to cook their videos at all. There’s a severe pandemic going around of video essayists who have ONLY seen the MV and Minus One (or maybe only Minus One) who now suddenly consider themselves experts on the source material.
Not to mention some annoying fans "Only Japan gets Godzilla" "American Godzilla is an insult to Japanese Godzilla" dawg if Toho approved and loves Legendary Godzilla you have no right to say such stuff 😂
Indeed gojira in my idea in order to be called a “expert” you need to at least watch every Godzilla movie being a Godzilla fan for a very long time I watch Godzilla religiously.
I only saw mv and minus one, but I decided to go digging to go through the history and lore of Godzilla. If I didn't do this, then how would I know what bagan is.
46:17 Skipper, THIS IS NOT A FAN FILM, This is Thousands People's job, their Life Support & source of Income, The studios NEED to make money because otherwise they cannot pay their workers, heck, The past year WE HAVE A MASSIVE STRIKE PRECISELY FOR THAT If you want to see someones passion becoming a prohect that's totally fine & Respectable, But HOLLYWOOD IS NOT THE PLACE TO SEARCH IT, that's like wanting to find healthy food& going to McDonald's to find it 😑🙄
And the real problem with Hollywood these days is not even that they only make movie for money but that they not even do it the right way like a fast foods will make a money as long as the foods at least taste good same with the movie if it at least entertain to watch it will made money but now the movie are so bad that you can't even watch it as popcorn movie.
This dude probably isn't even aware about zilla (Americas first iteration of godzilla) wich also portays godzilla as the villain. Which gives his "America trying to make godzilla a hero" point no solid base to stand on, not like it had any in the first place
He really threw shade at showa era gojira so casually it really just shows how he made this for content, godzilla can both be a serious drama on the suffering caused to japan from the dropping of the atomic bomb as well as a light hearted kaiju brawl, and honestly i feel if it was only one or the other godzilla would not have lasted nearly as long as it has.
Also completely skips over the fact that at least in showa era, godzilla was created from the very test that he is mad about being changed to have been used on him around 18:41
he didn't edit the video, he probably gave it to a video editor (which is what most big youtobers do) I guarantee he didn't even bother to check the final product before uploading
The one negative of Minus One, an otherwise excellent film: smug tryhards crawling out of the woodwork thinking they can shit on a 70-year long franchise because of one movie. Also, most of said tryhards put Minus One on this pedestal as the only legitimate Godzilla film after the original, and ignore Shin Godzilla, which was also a very serious, artistic, and thought-provoking film, even if it told a very different story from Minus One. It makes me wonder how many movies these people actually watch for how much they demand higher standards in film.
That was a legit scary movie. Straight up from nightmare for some, for me it was the most beautiful representation of how a being that can evolve after taking damage is the best piece of villain type i ever dreamed of
@tarzantabi7845 Godzilla vs King Ghidorah is my favorite of the Heisei Era. That movie is drugs and I love it. GvMG2 does have some of Ifukube's all-time best music, tho.
1) Godzilla is in public domain in US - Toho laughing while counting their millions 2) Jurrasic Park effect - Spielberg was literally inspired by Godzilla to make Jurrasic Park 3) No cultural impact????? - Every Japanese person will fight you. I will be fighting with them 4) HE DID NOT JUST INSULT GMK!!!!!!!! 5) Wow nuclear bombs are so funny. And no research again 🤦🏻♀️ 6) I almost threw my phone at the wall when he said the MUTOs represent Japan and Godzilla is USA. Like where did this guy even come from 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ 7) Also, Dr. Serizawa literally calls him "Gojira" in the Monsterverse. Further proof that he has no idea what he is talking about.
On the subject of Gojira in Monsterverse, I recall that his official name (Latin term or similar) in the second film was shown as Titanus Gojira. Again, it got translated. Skipper is giving me the impression of half trolling, half willfully ignorant, but idk.
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.
I think that Japan is a lot more culturally open than you think. The views we in the west get of other countries and cultures are often little more than a cartoon. Agree totally though that we should just enjoy things like Godzilla and not over-analyse them.
I literally got introduced to Godzilla with the Monsterverse movies! I wasn't even interested in the franchise and thought it wouldn't cater to me, but i fell in love with it and in all seriousness, it got me so much into it that i also started watching the Toho movies. One of the things I love about stories that include Godzilla/Kaijus in general is how different each movie is directed, while showing the faults of humankind (Shin Godzilla my beloved)
This has been a persistent issue for skipper, if you watch his disturbing games iceberg video he clearly gives up halfway through and starts giving wildly incorrect summaries for games and wholesale skipping most of the entries
The funniest part about this video is that you can just go to Skipper's comment section, pick out 3 comments, and have an effective argument for about 90% of what he says. 1. Commenter "Did man just skip the ENTIRE fucking Heisei and Millennium eras to try and make his point? What an utterly awful video." 2. 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 😭😭😭"
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. I don’t like Shin, just because he looks like a raisin, but it was a decent movie. I even enjoy the uniqueness of Singular Point and all of the lesser depictions like Marvel and Hannah Barbera. We don’t talk about the Earth trilogy.
I somehow enjoyed Godzilla 1998. However, I am more of a Jurassic Park fan although I love Godzilla, so that probably explains why. Never watched the earth trilogy, but did research. I respect every single version of Godzilla.
What makes Skipper’s video so much more frustrating is that there’s a plethora of easily accessible, comprehensive resources for learning about godzilla history, lore, etc. (Wikizilla, Big Action Bill, and Toho Kingdom come to mind). It literally could not be easier to research a topic and yet he still fails miserably
I gotta admire the devotion and love Godzilla fans have. Besides Sonic fans, I rarely ever see fans stand up for something they love to nearly this extent. It's really quite inspirational, and I mean that unironically.
@@rubinmaballs9055✨🗿👍 if you know what is it? that’s mean you are gigaChad brother. BERSERK FOR EVER and rest in peace Kentaro Miura he will be always in my heart forever ♾️
The joke about Wolverine being the only survivor of the nuke doesn't even make sense. That clip he is showing is him saving a Japanese man from the bomb, it's a major plot point in the film.
Fun Fact: when he talks about how Toho will take down a video if it's even five seconds of un-edited godzilla footage, then the background video changes to minus one (Time Stamp 3:05) it's exactly five seconds long.
The whole tangent about Minus One not talking about the fumbling of Pearl Harbor and it’s consequences vividly reminds me of Mr. Enter’s “why doesn’t Turning Red talk about 9/11” rant
My favorite monsterverse film is King of the Monsters because of the way they mirror the human characters with the monster characters (see Filmento’s video on it) and how they incorporate the main theme of making peace with your demons. The characters, while simple, are well made and Mark especially was pretty sympathetic and likable. It annoys me how people look at all of that and say, “Oh it’s just big dumb fun with no substance. Godzilla beat up giant dragon and giant dragon go bdibdibdibdiiiii” Every movie in the monsterverse has been really good and a lot of fun. They’re not perfect, but like one TH-camr said, “it’s like rooting for your home team. They don’t always do the best, but you love them because they’re yours” or something like that, I forget exactly how he put it.
This entire trilogy is even as epic as the dark knight trilogy and the Gamera trilogy We had criticizing the three Elsagate Godzilla channels, Congar and now Doktor Skipper
Now get ready for the Godzilla controversy Trilogy. Godzilla Controversy: 1998 Godzilla Controversy 2: Bryan Cranston Dies Godzilla Controversy 3: Doktor Skipper’s Electric Boogaloo
"America doesn't have the same history of catastrophe as Japan did with the atomic bomb" Ohhhh boy, oh boy, oh boy, there are people in New Mexico who would like to have a word with you, Doktor.
This is what I say to people who defend the nukes and bring up and try to blame civilians for Japanese war crimes. I send them this whole list of US war crimes, specifically I highlight WW2 and Vietnam for modern crimes, but there's also slavery and Native American stuff. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Native_American_genocid en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_war_crimes#World_War_II en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Internments_in_the_United_States en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Vietnam_War_crimes_committed_by_the_United_States So not only are war apologists dismissing and hating Japanese civilians, but they also are hating Native American and Latino people who were kicked out of their homes so Big War Criminal Who Isn't Officially One Truman can build his Blow-People-Upinator 3000 machines. Also I love how he acknowledges the civilians and the act that they were innocent as a whole and were just trying to live, but harps on about the "EVIL JAPS AND PEaRL HARBOR OR WHERE'S NANKINGGGGG???". As a Canadian who knows her own country was evil towards Japanese,German, and Italian civilians as well I can say. FUCK PEARL HARBOR. PH was mostly soliders, people who signed up knowing they were gambling with their lives, who I really don't feel sorry for as a whole as they were just bigots who would come out hating German, Italian, and Japanese people and dwelling on the past anyway. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were mainly civilians compared to soldiers, and that's ignoring the firebombing of Tokyo, Dresden, Frankfurt, etc which puts the number of "axis" civilians (BTW it'ss in quotes because I don't believe in labelling entire cultures and groups as axis because that's a xenophobic war propaganda tactic meant to demonize cultures and justify the allies atrocities towards them as "fighting tyranny") EXTREMELY high
@@finland4ever55 I am just going to focus on the Hiroshima and Nagasaki segment of your tangent because it is the actual and sole topic of the original poster: In June and August of 1945, the Americans dropped millions of leaflets warning Japanese civilians to evacuate major cities, INCLUDING Hiroshima and Nagasaki days before the atomic bombings. And here is what the LeMay leaflet, which were dropped on those cities days prior to the Hiroshima bombing, directly says when translated into English from the original Japanese: "Read this carefully as it may save your life or the life of a relative or friend. In the next few days, some or all of the cities named on the reverse side will be destroyed by American bombs. These cities contain military installations and workshops or factories which produce military goods. We are determined to destroy all of the tools of the military clique which they are using to prolong this useless war. But, unfortunately, bombs have no eyes. So, in accordance with America’s humanitarian policies, the American Air Force, which does not wish to injure innocent people, now gives you warning to evacuate the cities named and save your lives. America is not fighting the Japanese people but is fighting the military clique which has enslaved the Japanese people. The peace which America will bring will free the people from the oppression of the military clique and mean the emergence of a new and better Japan. You can restore peace by demanding new and good leaders who will end the war. We cannot promise that only these cities will be among those attacked but some or all of them will be, so heed this warning and evacuate these cities immediately." And here is what the Hiroshima leaflet, which was dropped days before Nagasaki's bombing, says when translated into English from the original Japanese: "TO THE JAPANESE PEOPLE: America asks that you take immediate heed of what we say on this leaflet. We are in possession of the most destructive explosive ever devised by man. A single one of our newly developed atomic bombs is actually the equivalent in explosive power to what 2000 of our giant B-29s can carry on a single mission. This awful fact is one for you to ponder and we solemnly assure you it is grimly accurate. We have just begun to use this weapon against your homeland. If you still have any doubt, make inquiry as to what happened to Hiroshima when just one atomic bomb fell on that city. Before using this bomb to destroy every resource of the military by which they are prolonging this useless war, we ask that you now petition the Emperor to end the war. Our president has outlined for you the thirteen consequences of an honorable surrender. We urge that you accept these consequences and begin the work of building a new, better and peace-loving Japan. You should take steps now to cease military resistance. Otherwise, we shall resolutely employ this bomb and all our other superior weapons to promptly and forcefully end the war. EVACUATE YOUR CITIES. ATTENTION JAPANESE PEOPLE. EVACUATE YOUR CITIES. Because your military leaders have rejected the thirteen part surrender declaration, two momentous events have occurred in the last few days. The Soviet Union, because of this rejection on the part of the military has notified your Ambassador Sato that it has declared war on your nation. Thus, all powerful countries of the world are now at war with you. Also, because of your leaders’ refusal to accept the surrender declaration that would enable Japan to honorably end this useless war, we have employed our atomic bomb. A single one of our newly developed atomic bombs is actually the equivalent in explosive power to what 2000 of our giant B-29s could have carried on a single mission. Radio Tokyo has told you that with the first use of this weapon of total destruction, Hiroshima was virtually destroyed. Before we use this bomb again and again to destroy every resource of the military by which they are prolonging this useless war, petition the emperor now to end the war. Our president has outlined for you the thirteen consequences of an honorable surrender. We urge that you accept these consequences and begin the work of building a new, better, and peace-loving Japan. Act at once or we shall resolutely employ this bomb and all our other superior weapons to promptly and forcefully end the war. EVACUATE YOUR CITIES." In short, the Americans WARNED the Japanese people before the bombings, and indeed many Japanese civilians DID leave the cities, including 120,000 people who evacuated Hiroshima. Also, your claim of Hiroshima and Nagasaki being mainly civilian targets is blatantly and downright false: Hiroshima was targeted because of the following: -The Second General Army headquarters which commanded the defense of all of southern Japan. -The headquarters of the 59th Army, the 5th Division and the 224th Division -Five batteries of 70 mm and 80 mm (2.8 and 3.1 inch) anti-aircraft guns of the 3rd Anti-Aircraft Division, including units from the 121st and 122nd Anti-Aircraft Regiments and the 22nd and 45th Separate Anti-Aircraft Battalions. -A major communications center for the Japanese military. -A key port for shipping, especially for warships. -A major assembly area for troops. - Supported a large war industry, including manufacturing parts for planes and boats, for bombs, rifles, and handguns. Nagasaki was targeted because of the following: -It was a massive seaport in southern Japan. -A wide-ranging industrial activity which can be easily help in major production of ordnance, ships, military equipment, and etc. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not targeted solely to kill civilians, they were chosen because of their major military and indusial elements. And to repeat myself: They. Were. Warned.

Doctor “Skipper” suits the guy very, very well. Skips the truth, eras (like you said, he skipped the heisei era & millenium era just to show legendary and others), and legit didn’t even try to analyse anything. It’s crazy how the person even only stumbled upon godzilla in 2014 and never heard about him, meanwhile me as a 6 years old, 2 years before the first legendary godzilla movie came out, knew about the existence of King Kong and Godzilla through old movies and was interested since then, learning about godzilla from the original movies until modernity. Doctor Skipper should really change his name to “Doctor Doomed” because the community is about to give him doomsday….. or already did, lmao.
Hell, I was really young when Godzilla 2014 came out and even I knew who he was. It was why I wanted to watch it in the first place, despite it looking a lot scarier than the stuff I usually watched. it's quite the simple thing. If you have a movie about a giant monster fighting other giant monsters, kids everywhere are gonna wanna see it
By this dude's logic, shin godzilla is abysmal because it isn't a representation of America's nuclear attack... It's commentary about the Japanese government and natural disasters within recent calamities that affected the country.
Pretty ironic that the guy saying America took Godzilla and bastardized it as a cash grab admits that he took a popular franchise he hates and made a video with a bastardized view of Godzilla in an attempt to capitalize on the success of Minus One.
non godzilla people don't like godzilla films and series, especially some people from the military that gives a low rating by movies that went too much unrealistic.
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. Matt Frank quote source: th-cam.com/video/__bU0lr5jgo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=j248Gxig6nk2cpSM&t=588
I recall my first exposure to Godzilla was from PowerPuff Girls (OG, not reboot). In the episode. A Godzilla-like monster showed up to Townsville and started causing a mess. Usual fare for the show, but the fact none of the girls could beat it was fairly unique since they usually shown to win regardless of the odds. At the end, it took Bubbles talking to it to convince it to leave (likely from a lack of any real challenge) before scolding her sisters. And I call this monster Godzilla-like due to being a toweringly large reptile that only ever roars and the fact that it rose from beneath the ocean, much like Godzilla. It's also known that the show writers did have some inspiration from Godzilla films when designing monsters and the fights for them. That was my earliest exposure to anything Godzilla.
Even the 1998 film keeps to some of the original message with the hardest intro for a Godzilla movie ever, being a literal nuclear test which we didnt see in a Toho film since Rodans solo movie

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.

While we're at it: the American Godzilla has always been the Toho Godzilla because of that 1956 adaptation. And yes, it technically counts as an adaptation. Despite being the same general story and the same film footage, it isn't the same movie; sequences were rearranged, the story is told through a flashback instead of events unfolding in real time, and there's the addition of a new character in the form of Raymond Burr's Steve Martin.

Well to be fair, the movie is a response about the Fukushima nuclear disaster, which is much more internal. Godzilla (1954) and Godzilla: Minus One (2023) were both commentaries on the Atomic Bomb and WW2, so of course they were going to have different perspectives on their own side.
I love shin godzilla, i love seeing the burocracy
Further Shin Godzilla is a DIRECT analog of the OG Gojira being a horrific manmade horror just modernized. It's literally everything he praises Minus One for, including Godzilla murdering Japanese civilians which he LOVES.
With the exception that Shin Godzilla doesn't do anything without something causing him to react back. He just walks in a straight line. Never mind shooting at him, just clear a wide area in his path and let the idiot walk lol

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).
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.
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.
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.

I think the reason why he said that Godzilla is in the public domain in the west. Is so he can make it seem like the American films have nothing to do with Toho.
There is a poster for the original movie that is in the public domain but not the film or the character in general
Which is ridiculous because we didn’t get Minus One until the Legendary movies were done being made.
I just hope Toho and Legendary decides to do a movie each instead of waiting years to take their turn.

“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. Tbh thats kinda the beauty of the franchise and why i love godzilla; it legitimately has a mix of everything and i love it all ^v^

I'm an artist. I like to draw. But honest to god I fucking cringe hard and roll my eyes to my insides when some pretentious snob goes on about a philosophical question of "but what is art?".
Art is basically a physical manifestation created by someone's ideas whose intent and purpose is to express oneself and show it off to people so they can emit whatever emotion they have in mind at said art.
It doesn't necessarily needs to have a deep or moral message in your piece. This can be even up to interpretation for both the artist and viewer. Hell, even what you created was for the sole purpose of just "being cool", another person might even see something else you didn't intend.
One example of it is Skipper's review. Is art, but a meaningless and shit one at that.

98 actually also there is darkhorse comics also marvel godzillala where there tho is sometimes heroic still being a dangerous force
He really threw shade at showa era gojira so casually it really just shows how he made this for content, godzilla can both be a serious drama on the suffering caused to japan from the dropping of the atomic bomb as well as a light hearted kaiju brawl, and honestly i feel if it was only one or the other godzilla would not have lasted nearly as long as it has.
Also completely skips over the fact that at least in showa era, godzilla was created from the very test that he is mad about being changed to have been used on him around 18:41
Yea its a great franchise that shows how flexible it can be for wide range audience
he didn't edit the video, he probably gave it to a video editor (which is what most big youtobers do) I guarantee he didn't even bother to check the final product before uploading
The one negative of Minus One, an otherwise excellent film: smug tryhards crawling out of the woodwork thinking they can shit on a 70-year long franchise because of one movie.
Also, most of said tryhards put Minus One on this pedestal as the only legitimate Godzilla film after the original, and ignore Shin Godzilla, which was also a very serious, artistic, and thought-provoking film, even if it told a very different story from Minus One. It makes me wonder how many movies these people actually watch for how much they demand higher standards in film.

On the subject of Gojira in Monsterverse, I recall that his official name (Latin term or similar) in the second film was shown as Titanus Gojira. Again, it got translated. Skipper is giving me the impression of half trolling, half willfully ignorant, but idk.
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.
Wait a minute you mean I can have my own interpretation/opinion…my god!?
@@supergingerr Its a bloody miracle!?!
I think that Japan is a lot more culturally open than you think. The views we in the west get of other countries and cultures are often little more than a cartoon.
Agree totally though that we should just enjoy things like Godzilla and not over-analyse them.
I love how Doktor Skipper attempts to condemn the demonization of Japanese people while simultaneously justifying it
While he is actively demonizing them himself and laughing at there deaths.

I literally got introduced to Godzilla with the Monsterverse movies! I wasn't even interested in the franchise and thought it wouldn't cater to me, but i fell in love with it and in all seriousness, it got me so much into it that i also started watching the Toho movies. One of the things I love about stories that include Godzilla/Kaijus in general is how different each movie is directed, while showing the faults of humankind (Shin Godzilla my beloved)

1. Commenter
"Did man just skip the ENTIRE fucking Heisei and Millennium eras to try and make his point?

2. 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 😭😭😭"
I can’t think of a more iconic duo than video essayists on TH-cam and bizarre blood-and-soil-adjacent assertions about Asian media.
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. I don’t like Shin, just because he looks like a raisin, but it was a decent movie. I even enjoy the uniqueness of Singular Point and all of the lesser depictions like Marvel and Hannah Barbera.
We don’t talk about the Earth trilogy.
Yeah
I somehow enjoyed Godzilla 1998. However, I am more of a Jurassic Park fan although I love Godzilla, so that probably explains why. Never watched the earth trilogy, but did research. I respect every single version of Godzilla.
The Animated Series of Godzilla 98 is pretty much the only good to come out of that film.
Worth it honestly.
If Godzilla can be anything, why can’t Ghidorah?
Why is G98 any less of a Godzilla film if that was the case?
My Favorite iteration of Godzilla is from 1999 Godzilla 2000 millennium, Mainly the japanese version
What makes Skipper’s video so much more frustrating is that there’s a plethora of easily accessible, comprehensive resources for learning about godzilla history, lore, etc. (Wikizilla, Big Action Bill, and Toho Kingdom come to mind). It literally could not be easier to research a topic and yet he still fails miserably
I gotta admire the devotion and love Godzilla fans have. Besides Sonic fans, I rarely ever see fans stand up for something they love to nearly this extent. It's really quite inspirational, and I mean that unironically.

My favorite monsterverse film is King of the Monsters because of the way they mirror the human characters with the monster characters (see Filmento’s video on it) and how they incorporate the main theme of making peace with your demons.
The characters, while simple, are well made and Mark especially was pretty sympathetic and likable. It annoys me how people look at all of that and say, “Oh it’s just big dumb fun with no substance. Godzilla beat up giant dragon and giant dragon go bdibdibdibdiiiii”
Every movie in the monsterverse has been really good and a lot of fun. They’re not perfect, but like one TH-camr said, “it’s like rooting for your home team. They don’t always do the best, but you love them because they’re yours” or something like that, I forget exactly how he put it.
FINALLY!!! Someone else who recognizes that KOTM has more to it than people say!

Also I love how he acknowledges the civilians and the act that they were innocent as a whole and were just trying to live, but harps on about the "EVIL JAPS AND PEaRL HARBOR OR WHERE'S NANKINGGGGG???".
As a Canadian who knows her own country was evil towards Japanese,German, and Italian civilians as well I can say. FUCK PEARL HARBOR. PH was mostly soliders, people who signed up knowing they were gambling with their lives, who I really don't feel sorry for as a whole as they were just bigots who would come out hating German, Italian, and Japanese people and dwelling on the past anyway. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were mainly civilians compared to soldiers, and that's ignoring the firebombing of Tokyo, Dresden, Frankfurt, etc which puts the number of "axis" civilians (BTW it'ss in quotes because I don't believe in labelling entire cultures and groups as axis because that's a xenophobic war propaganda tactic meant to demonize cultures and justify the allies atrocities towards them as "fighting tyranny") EXTREMELY high
@@finland4ever55 I am just going to focus on the Hiroshima and Nagasaki segment of your tangent because it is the actual and sole topic of the original poster:
In June and August of 1945, the Americans dropped millions of leaflets warning Japanese civilians to evacuate major cities, INCLUDING Hiroshima and Nagasaki days before the atomic bombings.
And here is what the LeMay leaflet, which were dropped on those cities days prior to the Hiroshima bombing, directly says when translated into English from the original Japanese:
"Read this carefully as it may save your life or the life of a relative or friend. In the next few days, some or all of the cities named on the reverse side will be destroyed by American bombs. These cities contain military installations and workshops or factories which produce military goods. We are determined to destroy all of the tools of the military clique which they are using to prolong this useless war. But, unfortunately, bombs have no eyes. So, in accordance with America’s humanitarian policies, the American Air Force, which does not wish to injure innocent people, now gives you warning to evacuate the cities named and save your lives. America is not fighting the Japanese people but is fighting the military clique which has enslaved the Japanese people. The peace which America will bring will free the people from the oppression of the military clique and mean the emergence of a new and better Japan. You can restore peace by demanding new and good leaders who will end the war. We cannot promise that only these cities will be among those attacked but some or all of them will be, so heed this warning and evacuate these cities immediately."
And here is what the Hiroshima leaflet, which was dropped days before Nagasaki's bombing, says when translated into English from the original Japanese:
"TO THE JAPANESE PEOPLE:
America asks that you take immediate heed of what we say on this leaflet.
We are in possession of the most destructive explosive ever devised by man. A single one of our newly developed atomic bombs is actually the equivalent in explosive power to what 2000 of our giant B-29s can carry on a single mission. This awful fact is one for you to ponder and we solemnly assure you it is grimly accurate.
We have just begun to use this weapon against your homeland. If you still have any doubt, make inquiry as to what happened to Hiroshima when just one atomic bomb fell on that city.
Before using this bomb to destroy every resource of the military by which they are prolonging this useless war, we ask that you now petition the Emperor to end the war. Our president has outlined for you the thirteen consequences of an honorable surrender. We urge that you accept these consequences and begin the work of building a new, better and peace-loving Japan.
You should take steps now to cease military resistance. Otherwise, we shall resolutely employ this bomb and all our other superior weapons to promptly and forcefully end the war.
EVACUATE YOUR CITIES.
ATTENTION JAPANESE PEOPLE. EVACUATE YOUR CITIES.
Because your military leaders have rejected the thirteen part surrender declaration, two momentous events have occurred in the last few days.
The Soviet Union, because of this rejection on the part of the military has notified your Ambassador Sato that it has declared war on your nation. Thus, all powerful countries of the world are now at war with you.
Also, because of your leaders’ refusal to accept the surrender declaration that would enable Japan to honorably end this useless war, we have employed our atomic bomb.
A single one of our newly developed atomic bombs is actually the equivalent in explosive power to what 2000 of our giant B-29s could have carried on a single mission. Radio Tokyo has told you that with the first use of this weapon of total destruction, Hiroshima was virtually destroyed.
Before we use this bomb again and again to destroy every resource of the military by which they are prolonging this useless war, petition the emperor now to end the war. Our president has outlined for you the thirteen consequences of an honorable surrender. We urge that you accept these consequences and begin the work of building a new, better, and peace-loving Japan.
Act at once or we shall resolutely employ this bomb and all our other superior weapons to promptly and forcefully end the war.
EVACUATE YOUR CITIES."
In short, the Americans WARNED the Japanese people before the bombings, and indeed many Japanese civilians DID leave the cities, including 120,000 people who evacuated Hiroshima.
Also, your claim of Hiroshima and Nagasaki being mainly civilian targets is blatantly and downright false:
Hiroshima was targeted because of the following:
-The Second General Army headquarters which commanded the defense of all of southern Japan.
-The headquarters of the 59th Army, the 5th Division and the 224th Division
-Five batteries of 70 mm and 80 mm (2.8 and 3.1 inch) anti-aircraft guns of the 3rd Anti-Aircraft Division, including units from the 121st and 122nd Anti-Aircraft Regiments and the 22nd and 45th Separate Anti-Aircraft Battalions.
-A major communications center for the Japanese military.
-A key port for shipping, especially for warships.
-A major assembly area for troops.
- Supported a large war industry, including manufacturing parts for planes and boats, for bombs, rifles, and handguns.
Nagasaki was targeted because of the following:
-It was a massive seaport in southern Japan.
-A wide-ranging industrial activity which can be easily help in major production of ordnance, ships, military equipment, and etc.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not targeted solely to kill civilians, they were chosen because of their major military and indusial elements. And to repeat myself:
They.
Were.
Warned.

It’s crazy how the person even only stumbled upon godzilla in 2014 and never heard about him, meanwhile me as a 6 years old, 2 years before the first legendary godzilla movie came out, knew about the existence of King Kong and Godzilla through old movies and was interested since then, learning about godzilla from the original movies until modernity.
Doctor Skipper should really change his name to “Doctor Doomed” because the community is about to give him doomsday….. or already did, lmao.
I’m the same age as skipper and I became a Godzilla fan when I was 6
Hell, I was really young when Godzilla 2014 came out and even I knew who he was. It was why I wanted to watch it in the first place, despite it looking a lot scarier than the stuff I usually watched. it's quite the simple thing. If you have a movie about a giant monster fighting other giant monsters, kids everywhere are gonna wanna see it
Damn, beat me to it
70+ years of an existing fandom getting ready to tear Skipper 70 new assholes.
Skipper only calls the MUTOs Japanese because the name MUTO sounds vaguely Japanese and he doesn’t realize MUTO is an acronym
By the way, it stands for Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism.
@@GhidoraTim Although, one of them is airborne, still a MUTO, just pronounce flying as ‘thlying’ and there you go
By this dude's logic, shin godzilla is abysmal because it isn't a representation of America's nuclear attack... It's commentary about the Japanese government and natural disasters within recent calamities that affected the country.
If Skipper thinks that Godzilla 2014 is bad I can't wait to see him review Transformers The Last Knight.
Pretty ironic that the guy saying America took Godzilla and bastardized it as a cash grab admits that he took a popular franchise he hates and made a video with a bastardized view of Godzilla in an attempt to capitalize on the success of Minus One.
The only public domain of godzilla is a picture from the very first og movie that happens to be on a shirt im wearing rn
It's him holding the plane standing over the buildings
And because of a little oversight, a mistake
Remember: You can't argue with stupid people. he won't listen
But we can warn others to avoid them
non godzilla people don't like godzilla films and series, especially some people from the military that gives a low rating by movies that went too much unrealistic.
I love when people make biased videos towards something they hate and intentionally misinterpret it
Reminds me of someone whose name is "James" and whose last name starts with "S"
James somerton? I’m just guessing I haven’t watched that guy in a long long time. I don’t know a lot of TH-cam people.
@@deadmeme7030 yes, they got exposed for stealing shit wholesale into their scripts
@@jinolin9062 I just looked into it a few days ago. Wild shit. Happy I never got into his stuff too much.
@jinolin9062 and then he recently faked his self inflicted passing while posting pictures of his hole on a rebranded alternate account
That video actually reminds me of that one meme where :

Place, Japan ✅
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 recall my first exposure to Godzilla was from PowerPuff Girls (OG, not reboot). In the episode. A Godzilla-like monster showed up to Townsville and started causing a mess. Usual fare for the show, but the fact none of the girls could beat it was fairly unique since they usually shown to win regardless of the odds. At the end, it took Bubbles talking to it to convince it to leave (likely from a lack of any real challenge) before scolding her sisters. And I call this monster Godzilla-like due to being a toweringly large reptile that only ever roars and the fact that it rose from beneath the ocean, much like Godzilla. It's also known that the show writers did have some inspiration from Godzilla films when designing monsters and the fights for them. That was my earliest exposure to anything Godzilla.
“godzilla doesn’t work in america”
godzilla winning an oscar:
Even the 1998 film keeps to some of the original message with the hardest intro for a Godzilla movie ever, being a literal nuclear test which we didnt see in a Toho film since Rodans solo movie
That was the only good thing about that film.
@@randomguy6679 movie was overall pretty great, better than both All Monsters Attack and Son of Godzilla
@@thegamingzilla6269 Agree to disagree.
