There is only one thing nowadays that really ticks me off with people in regards of disliking Mothra. Everytime I see a conversation about it, they are always saying, "Oh Mothra has too much screen time, I hope she never appears in a movie again. She is in too many!" That really irks me because nobody ever says it about Godzilla, because Godzilla is in lik 28 or 29 movies, Mothra is in only about 13 or 14. Why do people do this? Am I the only one that finds this unfair in a sense? |

The only time I say this is in a Godzilla moive. The foes of Godzilla are fun and are a vital part of any Godzilla story but ultmitly the story needs to come back into focus around Godzilla since he is designed to be its star. When Mothra's in her own movie I say go at it make 5,7 or 12 moives I'll still watch them and Mothra can have all the screen time Toho desires, but in a Godzilla moive her screen time needs to be cut back so as not to steal the spotlight. |

I don't think people are complaining abot Mothra being in too much solo films, they are complaining that Mothra is being used WAY to much these days in Godzilla films. I'm sure if Mother ever appears in a stand alone flick, people won't comlplain. Does that make you feel any better? |

People don't complain about Godzilla because those 28 movies are Godzilla movies- he's the star, he can have all the screen time he wants. I don't see people whining about the original Mothra or Rebirth films (at least, in regard to Mothra's screentime; complaints in general about the Rebirth films are in abundance), most of this complaining comes from her appearances in a series that is not hers. Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla get the same flack, so it's not some pre-determined Mothra-hate. |

Hit the nail on the head there. EM, do you ever wonder why people don't complain about James Bond being in too many James Bond movies? |

Eh, Mothra has been used too much in Goji films. There are more deserving charecters, such as Angilas, Baragon, or Gorosaurus to be used instead of the Toho Whipping Girl/boy. |

I see what EM means in a sense, and I see what everybody else means. Those movies are Goji movies, meaning that he is the star and therefore should have more screen time. I don't see why people complain about Mothra though, from the looks of the most recent movies she stars in, her screen time is not all that lengthily. Another point is that Toho receives more money when both Godzilla and Mothra star in the same movie, because they are the most popular monsters pretty much. |

I look at it like this. Godzilla is Tohos icon, so he better get the most screentime. In Mothras case I think Mothra gets very good screentime, even in a Godzilla movie. Mothra is probably the second biggest kaiju after Godzilla. Why people complain about Mothra? Most likely because "those" people hate the kaiju, either because it looks stupid, or they are loyal to Godzilla. I think its a case of people honoring the legacy of Godzilla and really cant get into another kaiju like Mothra. Let me just say though, I havent really seen to many complaints about Mothras screentime. |

I have seen a lot of complaints about Mothra's screen time. If it wasn't for Mothra being in Goji movies, Toho would have probably scrapped Goij a long time ago. After the original Godzilla, people really weren't watching the sequels until Mothra vs. Godzilla. (Mothra was pretty popular after her original movie) the world was excited to see two of the most popular monsters duke it out. Come to think of it, if it was any other kaiju, people probably wouldn't complain. Hell, if they made a Minilla movie, it wouldn't even get as much critisism probably. |

Trust me. A Minya movie = A big NO NO. I dont have a problem with Mothras screentime as long as Godzilla is portrayed right. Godzilla is Tohos icon. So Mothra will always be slightly under him. Mothra has her own trilogy for sakes. You might be right about Mothra saving Godzilla but no matter what people say Godzilla will always be Tohos main attraction with Mothra just a big boost. Just like Ghidorah. |

True. But in my mind, Mothra will always be unique, I know nobody will agree with me, but I always have found her equal with Goji. I don't know, it is just that Mothra is more to me than just a monster I guess, she has been a role model I guess since I was little. It is very hard to explain, I don't know if you read my thread about it over on KP, it explains a lot. Don't get me wrong, I adore Godzilla too, if it wasn't for him, there probably wouldn't be a Mothra in the first place.

Mothra is very unique, yes. But you probably shouldnt compare Mothra with Godzilla with the majority of Kaiju fans. They'll be on Godzilla's side, always. |

Agree with everything there. I think that the problem is that people would prefer a giant, cool-looking dinosaur than a giant fuzzy moth. It just seems unlogical to me.

You might not have any problem with it, put there are people out there who probably hate mothra just because it is a "fuzzy moth". |

Well, then they are very closed minded. That is a silly reason to hate something. |

EM, look at the Human race. Seriously, for one second get out of your Optomitic mode and LOOK at the Human Race in general. That right there is why they hate Mothra. Because they're abunch of idiotic meatbags who don't think Moths should be able to fight Dinos. Or Dragons. |

No offense to those people who hate Mothra because of that, but that is a pretty dim attitude, not to mention immature IMO.
