Years ago, probably the 90s, I saw a movie (or maybe an episode of a tv show like Ultra Q or something) where a brown ape-like kaiju starts showing up, and there are flashbacks to scientists studying a friendly normal-sized apelike creature which I guess eventually escaped, and they think it's the same creature all grown up. I think maybe it turns out the kaiju is causing destruction because it's confused or something. Then a second kaiju identical except for its greenish color, shows up and starts causing destruction malevolently, and in the end the brown creature fights it to protect the humans, and they both end up dying. I believe it was an English-dubbed version of a Japanese show/movie with practical effects.
Been making art using only origami paper, decided to make a version of the Godzilla Criterion Collection of the Showa Era. Would do a couple things differently if I made another, but what do you think?
Most of you have likely heard of this debate, maybe you've even weighed in on it. I'll make my stance clear, I think Bunyan is a kaiju. At the very least, Babe the Blue Ox definitely is. I think what really qualifies him as one is that he was made to represent the balance and power of nature, which is what the heavy hitters like Kong and Goji are all about. One thing I don't like about this debate is that he's usually portrayed as a big meat head, looking to slay some monsters. I don't like that, instead I think he should represent the gentler and awesome functions of nature. Like would it be too much to ask to see Paul clearing away some debris after a Zilla attack?
I notice there isn’t any Kaiju discord servers so I decided to make my own, if you want to join, no NSFW, that’s all, it is brand new and link expires in 7 days, feel free to help kickstart this server
