Got the new Official Godzilla Coloring Book ((I had pre-ordered as soon as the listing was live last year)) that just came out yesterday and I'm already taking a challenge at one of the best pages in the book, which I estimate me to be roughly 70% done with the page so far 👀
Burning Godzilla vs Perfect Destoroyah 🤩
Obviously, I can't do a 1-to-1 on the colors, but this is a really cool book full of great illustrations ranging all through Showa, Heisei, Millennium, and Reiwa ((Yes, even Shin gets some rep!!)) eras of the Toho continuity.
The only real complaint I have is that Little and Space Godzilla, among a few other lesser seen characters don't have any pages, but to be fair, the book has a lot of designs already and maybe they'll make a second volume of this sells well? Otherwise, this is a nice obtainable piece of merch for the Toho originals without being exponentially jacked in price on the aftermarket if you didn't snipe it early enough

Just came back from the Godzilla and-
I-
God-
that was a literal emotional experience. I walked in expecting just a normal Godzilla movie and came out a changed person. I was straight-up sobbing at the end. I literally don't have any words.

Needless to say, I loved Godzilla Minus One, but…
It has the most pathos of any Godzilla movie I’ve yet seen, an utterly terrifying depiction of the G-man, and superbly written human characters. Godzilla as a symbol of PTSD and the way trauma never really leaves a person (as shown in the final scene) is profound — it’s a delight to see people traumatized by war achieve a redemptive victory and defeat their metaphorical trauma, at least for now, and the message to live for a better future is something just as valuable now as it is for the time period of the film.
However, I can’t forgive this film for the crime of not being Shin Godzilla, my favorite movie ever. This is ultimately subjective, but I find I greatly prefer Shin’s animal lashing out in pain to the angry, vengeful monster of Minus One. MinusGoji is a classic Godzilla (plus regeneration and detonating atomic breath), and that suits the film, but I prefer the risks taken to make ShinGoji weird and distinct. Shin Godzilla is the story of the world’s most difficult euthanasia, not the genuine, personal conflict of Minus One, and while the deeply personal story of Minus One is beautiful and engaging, but it doesn’t hit as close to home for me as Shin’s exploration of how politicians would genuinely react to an unprecedented disaster — Shin is deeply concerned with political power, while Minus One focuses on the actions of postwar civilians and individuals. Minus One is the Godzilla movie we’ve all been waiting for, a proper tribute to the original, but it just can’t beat the deconstruction of Shin for me. Much as I enjoyed it, I left the theater wishing I had rewatched Shin.
Minus One gets a 9/10 from me. It’s my third favorite Godzilla film after the political drama of Shin and the Kaiju-on-kaiju action of KOTM. Of all Godzilla films, Minus One has the best vocalizations for Godzilla, so definitely see it before it leaves IMAX.
