Did you mistaken SNL with this site?

It’s funny and a bit sad that you think anyone is working on this show anymore, let alone watching it. They replaced both the audience and Lorne Michaels with ChatGPT long ago.

Clearly it’s like a bootleg MacGuffin. While a MacGuffin is what everyone chases to get the plot started but it doesn’t really matter what it is, a McMuffin sure sounds like it should be important but then nobody cares about it and it does nothing.

... small towns are hotbeds of resentment and bigotry. To give this story a true small down feeling, they should have trucks rolling coal and Trump flags and signs hanging outside half the houses.

A variation of that theme: I saw a post online once saying that in American fiction radiation creates superheroes and in Japanese fiction it creates monsters, to which someone replied, “It’s almost as if the two countries have very different associations with nuclear radiation.”

They have federal jurisdiction. That's like the whole world!

I thought it was a fun commentary on the classic TV trope of stunt casting or a special guest of the week.

I'd say that Minus One Godzilla looks more like Heisei Godzilla than any other one. But I can see the comparison to Monsterverse Godzilla

That shot in Godzilla vs Kong where Godzilla kicks Kong’s ass and they go to a close-up shot of Godzilla’s face where there’s a slight smile crossing his mug...it kills me every time I catch it on TV.  Godzilla feeling satisfaction for a job well done...too cool.

I never understood the giant hand complaint. Like why in any of the subsequent movies would it have come up?

In Japan especially, Godzilla has always functioned as a political metaphor over what’s contemporarily relevant, be it the bomb, American military bases, fighting off invasive giant moths, etc.

I can vouch for its wonderfulness!

There’s literally a DC vs. Godzilla/King Kong event going on in DC comics right now. I’ve been waiting for some sort of trade paperback so I can down the ridiculousness in one shot.

Just an FYI, the free streaming channel Pluto TV has a 24/7 Godzilla channel and its pretty wonderful.

You see, Japanese kaiju rampage through a city line this . . . “SKREEK SKRONK SMASH!” But American kaiju, they rampage through a city like this . . . “SKROAR SKRAGE CRUSH!” Am I right!? This guy knows what I’m talking about!

Well, there are a limited number of permutations possible:

I think the differences of opinion stem from the original opinion of the nuclear bomb. One nation built it, and learned to love it’s destructive power, while  another nation was destroyed by it.

The Minus One and Legendary Godzillas look very, very similar, with just the size of the dorsal spikes being biggest difference.

Baker vagina is a well-known folk cure for PTSD, going back to 1600s Switzerland, where it was called “Bäckervagina das Heilmittel gegen die Nostalgie eines Soldaten” by Dr Johanes Hofer. In WW1 England they called it “Shellshock Meat Curtain from the village breadwife.” which even the Cockneys couldn’t improve.

Heh, heh. Heh, heh. That was cool.
