Why don't American audiences care about real Godzilla movies?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills? Who wants to watch some bullshit CG monster movie that looks like a cutscene from a video game when there's real Godzilla movies being made by a studio that's been perfecting this craft for 62 years.
>>
The Toho Godzilla movies have a large cult following in the US and 1998 and 2014 didn't do as well as you think they did.
>>
Because they all fucking suck.
Americans would rather watch the one that's an intelligible trope movie rather than some other tropey nonsense screaming cliche-fest where people power up and change hair color and can't script a single character, much less a female character, in any way that resembles anything that has ever walked this earth. Goddammit I fucking hate anime so goddamn much you motherfuckers
>>
Japs can't make movies for shit
>>
>>69987195
because the new Godzilla design looks like shit with those tiny arms. Although to be fair I thought the Godzilla 2014 design was shit too with that tiny head. Heisei Godzilla is best Godzilla and that time is over thus I don't care anymore.

new design is great, you're wrong

all kaiju movies are fucking terrible and only appeal to children and manchildren. they're the japanese version of capeshit.

Oh yeah, Kurosawa, Miyazaki, everyone agrees their work is shit

You know, there are many varieties of decaf that are every bit as delicious as the real thing.

>>69987394
Goddammit, why didn't we get the Heisei movies in the 90s, when I was the prime market for them? I would have lost my goddamn mind watching them as a kid. I watch them now, and I just find them kind of hokey and boring.

That's bullshit. It's like arguing over who the best James Bond was or what the best version of Batman is. Campy 60's Batman is just as good as Edgelord Chris Nolan Batman, they're just different. They represent different times. Point is James Bond is a guy in a suit. Batman is a guy in a suit. Godzilla is a guy in a suit, not some wannabe video game crap that you can't even play.
>>
For one they have a foreign film stigma that makes general audience stay the fuck away, unless it was filmed in English. They also lack the big blockbuster marketing campaign that both American Godzilla movies had. With proper marketing you can turn damn near anything into a success.

I was excited when I first heard about a new Godzilla movie. But then I saw the design. What the fuck did they do to Godzilla? Is this yet another direct sequel to the first Godzilla, and this is just what happened to Godzilla after the oxygen destroyer?

And that's what I really want to know, why don't they market good movies? They spend all this money trying to make bad movies look good instead of simply informing people about the existence of all these great movies. Is it the illuminati jew world order trying to break people down into compliant drones? Are they sucking the joy out of life intentionally? I KNOW THEY ARE DAMN IT!

Marketing expensive. Movies like Avengers, Batman and the American Godzilla have marketing budgets that can equal half or more than the budget of the film itself. Japanese and most other foreign studios usually don't have enough cash to do that in foreign countries.

You act like there's a problem liking both, which there isn't. Deal with it

Americans can't into foreign shit because:

A.) they won't read subs
B.) they laugh at dubs

Just hope that that godzilla series that legendary is working on is a hit (which I honestly have more faith in than annos thing) and that it takes advantage of the alleged tiring of capeshit

Just stop embarrassing us because you're posting like a 12 year old

>Why don't American audiences care about real Godzilla movies?

Because normal people see a trailer for godzilla and go and see it at the local mall with friends before going to Spencer gifts and joking about cartoon socks. They don't care about godzilla, they're not going to go online and search for and then download a movie in a foreign language and watch it on their desktop with mountain dew next to their keyboard, you smelly fag.
>>
>>69988657
>they laugh at dubs

That hasn't been an issue since the fucking 70's. Modern dubs don't sound silly anymore they just sound like normal people talking and don't detract from the movie whatsoever.

haha of course it's mine!
>>
>>69987394
Well accrding to the leaked script He looks like that because a parasite monster is controlling him. After a scene where he fights the military with napalm his back splits open and the monster named Judas comes out like a man from a suit and leaves Godzilla's remains. Godzilla eventually recovers and looks more normal with white spies and a mix of 54 and heisei Goji.

because americans despite camp, but love classless shit
it is really a weird dichotomy, which seems to rely on the audience willfully suspending their cognitive functions by focusing on SFX or tits

Red was both done right and I wish it happened more often

Red? The fucking Bruce Willis about elderly spies? I mean that movie was okay. I didn't feel like I wasted my time watching it once but I wouldn't watch it again.
>>
>>69990601
it was campy and filled with ludicrous actions scenes with perfect timing and great shots

if you didn't like it we couldn't be friends IRL
another piece of bait is, how good was Miller's Crossing?

Haven't seen that one yet though I'm sure it's perfect because it's a Cohen brothers movie.

Seriously bad dubbing was part of the charm of the old godzilla movies.
>>
>>69989711
Hah. Wow. Here I was thinking this anno faggot was making a legitimate godzilla that respects the seriousness of the original. I thought that just maybe this one time we could get a modern reconstruction of godzilla as it's meant to be, a horrific and tragic reminder of how badly the prideful human race has raped nature. A monster that fucking destroys as much as it can until it's killed in some way that sacrifices even more than what has already been reduced to ash, like how the oxygen destroyer sterilized tokyo bay.

Nope, it's godzilla vs the bad monster!! Come on kids, let's get our tickets and popcorn!!!

What an utter fucking disappointment.

I don't know why I'm taking the bait but Ukiyo-e had a massive influence on impressionism in the west. You're also a fucking idiot comparing a print to a painting.

Not that bad of a deal unless you want a physical copy of the movie.
>>
>>69993372
Fuck fansubs though. The distribution rights are all fuckey in the us because of legendary.

All im saying is don't get too excited because your not going to be able to watch the movie for a while.

If they were having even an extremely limited us release that would be one thing. But its not gonna happen.

Godzilla in general has become more liked in America lately, and I think it was almost from a retro craze. I was always made fun of by everyone growing up for loving Godzilla and Gamera, yet now people that saw a clip of one movie go "oh yeah I love those movies!"

I showed my gf Monster Zero, Gojira, and Smog Monster, and oddly enough she loved them so much she wanted her own copies.

Eh who cares? Does anyone watch Godzilla movies for the plot? No. We watch them for monster action. I summarize all the dialog in the film for you right now without even seeing it. "blah blah blah, psuedo-scietific-techno-babble, blah blah blah, we gotta stop godzilla." There ya go. No need for dubbing/subtitles.
