I had thought to myself a couple of days ago that something like this might happen, but then I dismissed it as too #^&^#*@! stupid for anyone to even attempt.
Boy, was I wrong. I should have listened to the lessons learned from Sharknado!
Get a load of this, you won’t believe it. My brain still hurts.
Interview with the director:
Your version of Godzilla seems to be more rooted in current events, and centers on mankind’s tenuous relationship with nature, and the environment.
Yeah. Man vs. Nature is the predominant theme of the film, and I always tried to go back to that imagery. At the beginning when they find the fossils, it was important to me that they didn’t just find them—it was caused by our abuse of the planet. We deserved it, in a way. So there’s this rainforest with a big scar in the landscape with this quarry, slave labor, and a Western company. You have to ask yourself, “What does Godzilla represent?” The thing we kept coming up with is that he’s a force of nature, and if nature had a mascot, it would be Godzilla. So what do the other creatures represent? They represent man’s abuse of nature, and the idea is that Godzilla is coming to restore balance to something mankind has disrupted.

Yeah, natural balance, like stomping cities to pieces much like a Cat5 hurricane.

MUTO: Mann Under Testifying Oath?
Will have to wait a long time for that monster to emerge from the slimy depths.
No, these guys don’t hate civilization and humanity, why do you ask?

And if PT Barnum were alive today, he would have a climate change act under the big top. The show must go on—-to make a buck.
Godzilla, the real life mascot of climate alarm-ism. What a fitting character! And about as real!
Mann vs. Nature
How about a 3 ft. Godzilla as Mike Mann, ankle biting and knee capping everyone in sight

And wasn’t it PT Barnum who said there was a sucker born every minute?
Ok, it is seriously time to give these people some rank and file cultural pushback. They are using the draw of “Godzilla” to bring in kids for a “global warming” indoctrination. No. My kids will never see this movie and that is a shame but the real shame is on the idiots producing it.
all of the early japanese monster et al flics were thinly veiled slams at the US nuclear bomb usage, both during and after WW2. Pre-greenie stuff really.
You bad American, see what you did?
Average Climastrologist: Well, yeah, like doesn’t everybody believe that? I put this little bobblehead god on my dash. Never had an accident since. The correlation is undeniable.
After, therefore, because of! #(:))
If you haven’t seen the original 1954 Gojira in Japanese, you should. The original was a very dark, very bleak, movie with a little hidden anti-nuke message. Transworld imported it in 1956, spliced in scenes with Raymond Burr and re-released it as Godzilla. Later versions had the actor in the rubber suit fighting other actors in their rubber suits with decreasing levels of seriousness. As I remember, at least one was an anti-pollution flick.
Appears the Big Guy has been social messages for over 60 years. Sadly, this is nothing new. Cheers –
I’ll just say that he’s a little confused, and 60+ years too late. It’s been done already – the original “The Day the Earth Stood Still” with Michael Rennie and Patricia Neal. And Gort was a lot shorter.
So to sum it up this yuppy flew himself and crew, as well as film equipment and material, in private jets from California to Vancouver and then to Hawaii so that he could make $millions on a piece of entertainment that symbolizes how we are destroying the planet and he’s a hero for it but industry providing the energy to partake in such frivolous activities is evil. Glad to see they are consistent in their illogic.
Again, let me reiterate the importance of just turning these people OFF. Don’t buy their “products”. Don’t link to their websites. Tell everyone you know how much you despise them and their politicization of the weather/climate. And especially, let us hold the climate fear mongers in science, politics, and the media accountable for their flat out lying to people about the climate.
Most of all, for all of us U.S. citizens, remember in November. The left-wing, eco-progressives are literally destroying our country, and together we can stop them…
I bet no one would be worrying about a potential 2 foot rise in sea level over the next 100 years when Godzilla is destroying cities like a nuclear weapon. So, my Godzilla would represent “perspective”. You think sea level rise threatens your survival? Well put on your high water boots and start running, because I’m gonna give you a REAL threat to your survival!
Ironically, as kenw points out, the Godzilla movies beginning in the 1950s were warnings about Mankind playing around with nuclear devices such as low emissions atomic power. Then again, liberals managed to turn their original Klanbake and Jim Crow policies into a myth about conservative racism too.
I usually wait to buy these types of flicks on DVD – on sale. Now that I know the tone of the flick I won’t bother at all.
The director should have kept his mouth shut.
Well he just blew a chance at any Oscars. Even Hollywood isn’t this stupid!

Why do so many of the celebrity climate alarmist have Godzilla-sized carbon footprints?

Janice Moore,
Are you sure that’s not a fertility goddess?
