The manga is still going, there's actually a new chapter coming out tomorrow.

Do continue, it only gets better.

And do consider starting the manga after.

No apologies needed. I'm several months late, haha. I actually typed up a response a long time ago but lost it before I could post it. That said...

Yeah, it was a really nice touch at the end of Gojira, I thought. And yeah, the first atomic breath scene is the most beautiful sequence of the film, though there were plenty of nice shots throughout. I was blown away the first time I saw it. They did a good job of modernizing original problem that Godzilla presented in the present day and played it pretty well. There was indeed a weight to the decisions that were made and good tension throughout. I appreciated that they were able to bring a fresh and serious tone to the film and were allowed to do different things with Godzilla's origin. I too was taken aback with the forms and it had additional surprises.

The political focus was also something that I really liked as we haven't really seen that done seriously before. I can't think of a single giant monster film that does anything with the political and governmental ramifications of an enormous beast showing up on their shores. Usually it's ignored or only relegated to what the military can do. It was really interesting and something I truly enjoyed.

For the 2014 film, I thought it was OK. Indeed, you can see that there's a huge difference in what the filmmakers want to say with Godzilla. Whereas Shin had a message the American film didn't really have much of substance to say (though not every film needs to have an overarching theme or moral). Unfortunately the characters were pretty bland and the main character, soldier #3,058, was a snoresfest. I did like the environment that they tried to create with the giant monsters though. There was a lot of effort into making these creatures seem like actual animals that belonged to the world, if not removed from their proper time. I also liked what they did with nuclear energy (it being a feeding source for Godzilla was something from The Return of Godzilla that came out in 1984) but I don't know if they'll fully utilize such an interesting concept, unfortunately. Here's to hoping in the next film.

Finally, with Kong, they said that he was still young in Skull Island so he'll grow substantially and possibly be ready come Godzilla vs King Kong.

Gonna have to look more into it Not sure how many a miles a day I walk

not at all I've been thinking about joining a gym but there are several things that could get in the way of that
I don't even know what I should start to eat, but I guess I'll figure it out

9 miles does it? Interesting

I forgot we we had one, think I will. A little less than I should be I think, about two meals a day and all

that's good to hear thought that it wouldn't have been enough or it wouldn't be the correct way to go about it

must be some heavy carts 1800 huh, well at least you're in shape though right

the problem is I don't really know how to go about doing it so I've mainly just been lifting weights, pull-ups, and whatever else I hear is good for it

yeah, was a letdown a thousand calories? what did you say you do again?


yeah, I have my eye on a pretty nice suit and I wanna try to fill it out as much as possible, it's two months from now so I'm trying to put in the work

It was more of a throwback kind of thing, but somehow it was made bigger than it was supposed to be, I'll probably make a thread about it and one other thing

Zu tryin to beef up? same, actually

The whole event stuck around for a bit too long and lead to a pretty bad moment for Thor as a character storytelling wise, to me at least, but it's not included in this run (if i remember correctly ) so you don't need to worry about it

ah, school? Or work?

I honestly went into it with only expectations for the villain but was pleasantly suprised the only bad thing about it was its... staying power

which reminds, you ready for some dakka?
