Godzilla Minus One Minus Color (2023)

The fact that Godzilla's atomic breath actually scorches him in Godzilla Minus One is a fantastic little detail.

Remember when we all saw this clip and we thought "what the hell did that to him?"

But that was him! His wrath, his fury, his flames burned so hot that it boiled the water around him and burned his flesh away. His roar isn't merely one of absolute victory, but also of indescribable suffering. A hate so powerful that it burns the one holding it is an apt metaphor.

Imagine the kind of pain he must be in, and yet he continues to freely use this terrible weapon, like stabbing a knife into someone while holding the blade. It's as if he couldn't care less.

"I know I will heal." he's probably thinking, "But you won't."

Godzilla Minus One was a movie about survivor’s guilt and found family with some puppy-faced Godzilla and Godzilla Minus One Minus Color was also about those things but set in a horror film where Godzilla was HORRIFYING

Just got back from Godzilla -1.0/C

A.k.a. Godzilla Minus One Minus Color.

The minute the 1940s-1950s era Toho logo popped up on screen, I knew this was going to be special. I saw this in color when it first came out last December and loved it but I think the Minus Color version may even be better. I noticed more little details and it just felt so right to the period it was set in. I cried at the ending again and at THAT scene in the middle and it still hit me so hard. This is such a powerful, well-made film and I don't think I will be over singing it's praises for a very long time, much like I did with Shin Godzilla back in 2016. It's that kind of a movie. I also saw it in 4DX, which was a new experience for me and the motion of the seats plus the added effects made it into something akin to a thrill ride (and a moist one with the mists of water shot at us in certain scenes). My only real complaint was that the 4DX seat was a little tight for someone of my callipygian body type. Still, it was an experience I am glad I paid a little extra for. Though at one point I was wondering how they got something to hit me in the back of the calves and then I realized it was the lace hem of my dress smacking me as the seat rocked violently during one of the action scenes. This is leaving theaters soon after an amazing run and I urge any of you even moderately interested in it to see it on the big screen. Just, if you have sensory issues of any kind, do not see it in 4DX.

Godzilla Minus One Minus Color (2023)

Throughout most of Godzilla: Minus One, the King of Kaiju comes off as inscrutable, wrathful, unstoppable, but during the final battle he appears openly hateful in this shot:

The vibe I get from this is the same as lots of villains in various media. It's that "Who are YOU to judge ME? You call me a monster...and now I will show you one."

Just a vibe, but I love it, and by GOD does he look so creepy as his flesh is falling off and he's prepping the nuclear blast that would make God cry.

We got Godzilla Minus One Minus Color for a week so obviously I had to go and watch it on my day off. But the Icemav brainrot has completely taken me over and I simply can't stop thinking about the Icemav potential with this kind of AU.

Like Ice coming back from war, traumatized and wartorn only to discover that his parents (or siblings or whoever) are gone due to some horrific events. Trying to rebuild his life, trying to move past everything that happened to him in the war and suddenly in barges this short, chaotic, green eyed gremlin of a man and a small child that doesn't belong to the man but is his responsibility per his promise to his two best friends. Ice doesn't want them around at first; Maverick and Bradley are two extra mouths he can't afford to feed not to mention the fact that the reason they first was because Ice was in town and Maverick quite literally slammed into him and shoved Bradley into his arms before running off, cops chasing after him. Not exactly an ideal meeting.

But Ice has never been one to turn his back on children in need, even if it means he has to keep Maverick around because he and Bradley are a package deal. So Ice lets them stay. He finds a job, a pretty well paying one, and they rebuild their lives, bit by bit. Maverick finds a job in a nearby town and there's something budding between them, though neither man is brave enough to put a name to it quite yet. Ice starts to think that maybe, just maybe, he can start to move past everything.

And then disaster strikes. Suddenly, Mav is gone and with it, part of Ice's will to live. He knows he has to take care of Bradley, it's what Mav would've wanted him to do, but how is he supposed to do this without Maverick? How is he supposed to keep living with this gaping hole in his chest, this crippling sadness that hovers over him and suffocates him at every chance?

So he throws himself into helping after the disaster. If he can't bring Maverick back, the least he can do is make sure whatever that thing was pays for taking him from Ice. He leaves early on the day that everything is scheduled to go down, leaves an envelope with money for Bradley and a letter to their neighbor, Viper, explaining what's going on and to use the money for raising Bradley.

And then he doesn't die. He miraculously survives, the monster seemingly defeated, and when he gets back to shore, he finds Viper and Bradley. Viper gives him a stern look, one that definitely means that they're gonna be having a talk later, and shoves a telegram in his hand. He's confused for a split second then reads it.

Mav is alive.

Mav is *alive*.

*Mav is alive*.

He gathers Bradley from Viper and rushes to the hospital as fast as he can, trying desperately not to cry on the way there. Bradley is confused, not quite understanding what's going on but nevertheless willing to follow Ice wherever.

They rush up the stairs to Mav's room, Ice far too impatient to wait for the elevator, and Ice bursts through the door, the handle stopping just shy of slamming into the wall.

Sure enough, there on the bed is his short, chaotic, green eyed gremlin, bandages on his head and arm in a sling. Despite how much pain he's surely in, a soft smile rests on Maverick's lips when he looks up and sees Ice and Bradley.

Ice can't help it; the tears that have been stinging his eyes for the past twenty minutes finally slip out and race down his cheeks as short, hiccuping breaths leave his lungs, shattering them each time they escape.

"Is your war finally over?" Mav asks in a soft, barely there voice.

And Ice buckles. He has enough control over his body to not drop Bradley on the floor, instead placing him on the bed next to Mav's leg, and collapses against Maverick. He nods and buries his face into the meat of Mav's thigh. Hands come up, one carding through his hair and the other one running along his back. The touches are comforting, welcome, even if they make him cry more.

He doesn't care about anything else but this right here: his family, back together again, finally whole once more.

Anyway, I'll probably turn this into a full fic at some point, I just really wanted to get this out there bc it was literally all I could think about as I watched G-1 for the fifth time
