"No I'm sorry"

A violent fight erupts over whose day was nicer!

"Godzilla... Will return!"

In CASINO ROYALE!

I know people are skeptical about using one monster to defeat another, but saving Japan by playing high-stakes Pokemon feels right to me.

Once again, we turn to the islands of bonin'

"I thought... The army killed Godzilla, right?"

NO

THEY DIDN'T

THAT WAS KIND OF A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE MOVIE IN FACT

>:(

Aaaaaalbatross. AAAAAALBATROSS

You think he comes with wafers?

"Stones can record history like a CD"

...What? No they can't. What???

Yeah, and maybe he made a light soul reduction to drizzle over the soul flank steaks he prepared earlier!

"The government has issued a Godzilla Warning for all prefectures, please keep an eye on the weather during the day, and keep your Godzilla radio with you at all times."

So, a Godzilla has been sighted, or conditions are right for a Godzilla to occur?

Wow, so they're actually acknowledging that non-Japanese people died in WWII. Maybe this film isn't *that* nationalistic after all.

"Also Raymond Burr was there, it was horrifying!"

Small arms fire. That's adorable.

Look, just pick up Shinji and activate Unit 01, get a move on.

Here he is, the man himself!

I appreciate how vindictive Godzilla is in this movie. Like, he's a real heel here.

This scene with the mushroom cloud is really far more effective than the rest of the film it's in.

Like, that's not a scene that should be in a movie that spends *this much time* trying to convince people that monsters are being led to battle by vengeful souls trapped in rocks.

Ooooh, that's a callback to Godzilla's first appearance in the first movie :D

I like being able to catch stuff like this now :D

(though honestly I think it was more effective in the first film)

Godzilla like, "God damn it, I *hate* moles."

"I thought you said your dog doesn't bite."

"That is not my dog."

*Looney Tunes closing music plays*

"Hey miss, will we die?"

Well, I'm over twenty five, so *I* should be fine. You're a kid, tho, so you're probably boned.

Alright, who dropped the giant styrofoam packing peanut in the ocean -_-

I do love the bargain basement of the airwaves <3 Let's hear it for the losers :D

"I taught my men to be proud of what they did!"

They didn't do anything. A scientist who didn't trust your fucking military took Godzilla out with a superweapon *that he took to his grave to keep out of your hands*

Man, fuck being a reporter, Yuri should join the Tour de France. Woman's keeping up with Godzilla on a *bike*

SARGEANT SHOUTY!!

SPECIAL DEFENSE SQUAD!!!!

REPORTING FOR DUTY!!!!!!

"It's the first time I've seen action."

...I thought you had a daughter, sir?

Hold on, I'm just gonna remember that one time Godzilla got got by a pair of Mothra grubs :D

They literally String Shot him to death and kicked his ass into the ocean :D

Oh yeah, that's a fun memory :D

So, Tackle, Poison Needle... You think Mothra's got Fairy Wind, or is this more of a Gen 1 situation?

Godzilla's pretty crunchy in this one.

Mm, Ghidora's full of red tempera paint.

Godzilla like, "What part of 'Embodiment of Human Technological Hubris' did you not understand?"

Cactuar Joe

Mothra like, "I'm a support Pokemon, I do know Sacrifice."

Ghidora's gonna drown Godzilla like a New Jersey mafia don.

"Why does the commander have to go himself!?"

Because I'm a man's man, kid. I'm a man's man's man.

"Promise you'll come back alive."

Sure, kid. I mean, I haven't got a quarter of the cojones on that pacifist scientist from the first movie, so I'm sure I'll be fine.

Yes folks, the military's out there fighting Godzilla for our freedom! How Godzilla got our freedom, I'll never know.

Ghidora like, "Oh shit, you found my missing temporal lobe! Thanks guys, I should be okay from here."

Ghidora learned Draco Meteor!

...So if the Guardian Monsters are specifically empowered by the souls of people who died in WWII, *precisely which souls* are, at this moment, frying Godzilla with a bug zapper? Is this a Manchuria thing or more of a gift from the Phillipenes?

Though I suppose in retrospect the whole resurrection thing makes sense. Probably the answer to the question of how you kill a monster made of the souls of the dead is NOT, "durrrr maybe try murder."

Yup, that sure is a Godzilla sphincter right there.

Turns out the real solution to the problem of nuclear vengeance was just "give him a stomach ulcer."

So how long you figure it takes before dad's skin starts sloughing off from radiation poisoning?

Well done, General Schwartzkopf.

Yes, thank the entire military for protecting us from the threat of nuclear annihilation! Don't stop to ask where that threat actually comes from, just salute like a good girl!

All-Out Attack does have one of the better plots for a Godzilla flick -- it's far more coherent, for a start -- but the pro-military bits really do irritate the shit out of me >_>

Oh well. At least it's not Godzilla vs. King Ghidora (1991) with the blatant nationalism and the time travel and the incest.

@CactuarJoe I thought Godzilla was sometimes the good guy. Is it always that they want to kill him? I thought he saved Japan from some of these monsters in the past. I was confused that they were happy to see him die.
#monsterdon

@paco @CactuarJoe For whatever reason, Godzilla seemed much more hostile and destructive this time around, so I understand the hostility towards him. Also, those glassy/milky eyes! #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Yeah, this one had some American-level military propaganda.
