    I think Toho needs to get into CGI. Have you seen there "Japan Sinks" trailer? Toho can easily make a Godzilla or Mothra movie look stunning, and I think the suits mess that up. CGI is the way now.....Even though I love the suits.

    Yeah I love suits too. It will cost Toho a lot of money to start doing their movies in complete CGI, however I would love to see Mothra and Goji in CGI. Isn't Mothra partly that? I could have swore I read it in an interview.

    Dont remember.

    Then all they need to do is get some new ideas from people. Maybe even listen to fans.

    That would be a good idea for them to do. I just hope they don't listen to most of them about Mothra, at least here in America. Many of them have a negative view on her, which is very disheartening.

    Now something that would be stupid is for them to just let fans write to them with ideas.....

    Man, do you think we'll still be on here when the next Godzilla or Mothra movie is made......I'll be in my 20's. Godzilla will always have a place with me but I dont see me on here.

    I see the fanbase going down fast in the next couple of years. The only thing that really keeps us here right now is DVDs and fan fictions. We have a new Daimajin movie coming out in 2008. Thats a long time from now. Then we'll have to wait for something else....

    I doubt we'd go. I will still be here. We still have Godzilla 3d To the Max, and the DVD of the new Gamera to see, and the Daimajin movie.

    I hope so. I've been on the online fandom since 2003 and this year has been the worst. I hope people dont leave because it certainly feels like that.

    Also there is a thing called Ultraman. I like it but nowhere as near as Godzilla.

    I have never seen an ultraman movie, but I really want to. Well, it is our duty to keep the online fandom running, I think we can pull it off.

    Well, I have confidence in all kaiju fans. They wouldn't let the fandom down.

    I just hope that if they do start doing Mothra movies again, they do them right. Seeing an insect glide doesn't seem right somehow. I've seen birds glide, and I can see pterosaurs gliding, but all the insects I've ever seen flap continuously.

    Moths and butterflies glide quite a bit, actually...

    I worry if people think switching between a prop (suit) and CGI on screen is a good idea. It simply akes away from the experiance. You know if something is computer generated and you know when something is being filmmed live. Dosen't matter how good it is, you just know.

    TOHO will never have good CG in their Kaiju films because its to expensive and the movies themselves don't bring in enough profit to cover the cost of the CGI.

    and I think the suits mess that up.

    How do they mess it up? Explain please how a technique that has been used for over 50 years "messes up" the quality of a movie.

    It "messes up" what overall what could be done with a film. I know they do a great job with the suits but having CGI opens the door.....alot.

    No it dosen't. Not at all. CGI looks cheap and generally looks bad. What Toho needs to do is refine and spend more money at what they do good now and not blow a bunch of cash on something their not even all that good at just because its "new".

    Its fine by me if they spend more money for the setup and all that.

    I'm sure though they could make the CGI look good. Especially since the next Godzilla movie will be in 10 years(or whenever) when you can make it look better.

    No. What Iam saying is, in 10 years the quality of Tohos CGI will look like what it does today. While everyone else has CG that makes Tohos CG look like crap.
