They don’t want you to know this but Jens Stoltenberg is actually a Toho plant whose goal is to increase tensions between NATO and its enemies, bringing back nuclear anxiety and creating a second Godzilla renaissance.

The monsterverse movies have sort of made godzilla and the kaijus a metaphor for climate change. It doesn’t really work as they executed it…but there was an attempt and I do think there’s something you could do with that.

Nostalgia definitely destroys buildings. All over Europe right-wing think tanks get cities to build reactionary Disneyland versions of “traditional architecture”. In Berlin they rebuilt the fucking city castle where the East Germany seat of government sat and in Frankfurt they rebuilt the “Altstadt” on top of a fucking parking garage.

What if Godzilla fought a giant monkey and he gets thrown across an island and then the military comes in with tanks and jets and shoots them with guns and then Godzilla spits a giant laser and the giant monkey shields it with his freaking paw
