• What a great job!

    The scale very much reminds me that I miss when Godzilla was building-size. The movies constant expanding of kaiju sizes has, IMHO, rendered them less frightening. They’re scary like a hurricane is scary - frightening to be in, but removing any real agency from humans. They’re not scary like monsters anymore. They’re not things you can run and hide from; characters don’t hope they don’t get noticed, because they wouldn’t be - they only hope they’re not where the kaiju steps. It’s especially noticeable in Kong movies, where the human/kaiju interaction used to be so critical.

    Modern kaiju films are natural disaster films, not monster movies. This rendering really captured that, for me!

      Honestly, you put more thought into this than I did creating it, but I’m glad it spoke to you!

      • Hah! I figured it’d come across as a dissertation. It’s just a thought I keep having whenever I watch a new kaiju movie, and the scale in this reflects that - even if it’s exaggerated.

        It’s well done, though. I wouldn’t have guessed an ML source if it’d been posted elsewhere.
