Theory: Does Godzilla actually make landfall in New York City in Godzilla: Minus Zero?

God I’m really hoping it does, but something about that scene feels off. Based on the warm color grading of Godzilla and the composition, plus that scene’s use of a distinctly Minus One style big G (missing angular dorsal spikes jutting from it’s shoulders per the “new” design) leads me to believe that scene may be a dream, another nightmare (?) representing the threat of a new Godzilla not unlike Koichi’s other ptsd dream sequences in Minus One.

I’d be happy to be wrong here, Godzilla destroying mid-20th century NYC sounds like a lot of fun but I’m parsing my expectations. Still, I’m looking to see what Yamazaki cooks up

Godzilla Minus Zero Trailer Thoughts

First off, DAMN!!!

Godzilla has been bulking up and hitting some radiation juice.

But also, you can hear an English-Speaker, possibly an American, say:

"If their operation fails, maybe we'll finally get to use it."

That has some scary implications.

Do they plan on nuking Godzilla? Do they have something even worse like the oxygen-destroyer, or possibly an American-sponsored Kaiju or a bio weapon?

Hedorah????

Would Hedorah be mutated nuclear waste that got turned into a bio-weapon but got sentience?

Director Takashi Yamazak did say he's interested in featuring Hedorah in a sequel for Minus One. Would this be the case?

[papas-majadas]

Can't wait fer it.

[vanishing-point-1971]

the concept of koichi at his most stressed aging like tachibana down to making similar facial expressions. GMZ makeup artists you've outdone yourselves this time

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

[bear-of-varley]

Venezuelans feeling relief and celebrating that a cruel and tyrannical dictator has been removed out of their country but also feeling utterly terrified that the ones who deposed him don't have the best of intentions and can easily make this much worse are two statements that can coexist.

Maduro and Trump are on opposing ends here but both of them have a soul as black as night. Make no mistake about that.

THEY LIBERATED THE PEOPLE TRAPPED IN THE HELICOIDE!!!

Yesterday in the helicoide located in caracas, the BIGGEST torture facility in Latin America, where maduro's regime traps anyone that's not on their side whether they are minors, have jobs and family, or are old people, happened the whole reason why us venezuelans are celebrating the past January 3rd. They liberated a significant amount of the people trapped there

They are not criminals, they didn't steal, they didn't kill, some didn't even know they were being transported there.

But you know what they did? They had posts that were anti maduro in their accounts, they went to pacific protests against the regime, and once again, THERE ARE MINORS THERE, 14 YEARS OLD ARE IN THAT BUILDING.

This is NOT over and it doesn't mean that we are safe, people are leaving their phones at home to prevent any policemen from checking their phones and being imprisoned (because yes, even if not in the helicoide people are still being imprisoned just for not being a maduro/chavez bootlicker) but this is a MASSIVE WIN for the people, and wether you like it or not, this is what's important for us, not the oil, not whatever trump does, it's the venezuelan people being freed.

[venezuelalibre]

I'm Venezuelan, tumblr has never been a place for us, most people on here are tankies (people who claim to be leftists but defend authoritarian dictatorships) or simply people who ignore us, except for a few countries that have lived things similar to us and have shown solidarity, to them, thank you.

The Venezuela tag is filled with non venezuelans speaking about the u.s or dictatorship propaganda though. It's also even harder to find Venezuelans speaking about Venezuela cause the government imprisons you for any sign of government dissent on your phones or social media. I am autistic and Venezuela has been one of my "hyperfixations" since i was roughly 7 years old, i have tried to report what's happening on my social medias most of my life and on here many times and gotten hate or felt ignored or eventually abandoned it and went back to posting about my interests, i'm guessing most venezuelans on this app feel the same.

The thing is though, that i barely have other interests at the moment, my biggest wish is to see my country free before i die. So here i am again, there's nothing you can tell me that i haven't heard before and i don't care what anyone thinks or says, now more than ever is important to raise your voice against injustice even if that freedom is politicized by the world into evil imperialistic geopolitical interests or thought of as a "far right or fascist cause"

Seeing our iranian brothers and sisters get massively murdered at the hands of their state and the world claim that their freedom is a "CIA and mossad operation" therefore the lost lives don't matter or are propaganda lets me know that we are not the only country in a similar situation and that many are suffering. I'm not and will never be right wing, i have leftist ideals i am pro palestine i also of course condemn the u.s and u.s and israel's imperialism but my country has also been destroyed and abused by a regime that claimed to be leftist for 27 years so i'm also wary of leftists as well, especially when so many of them have denied our experiences. Seems to me that our voices and experience matter now more than ever, to anyone that is from a country in dictatorship, genocide, conflict or suffering because of imperialism (not only the u.s one but the chinese and russian as well etc) i'm so sorry, i see you, you matter, you will always be welcomed and listened to here.

FREE VENEZUELA, FUCK CHAVISMO and free every other opressed country.

[princethecurlyart]

Venezuela needs to be free from Maduro. The US should not invade Venezuela.

Two things can be true at the same time.

90s movies: Psychopharmacology is as good as a lobotomy. If you take pills to treat your mental illness it will literally murder your imaginary friends and you will become a boring, lotus-eating conformist drone.

Me after taking my meds: drives the scenic route home to see if there are any geese on the pond and does a little dance in line at the grocery store and comes home to throw everything​ in my fridge into a stew pot because I can finally taste food again while singing songs at my birds in which I replace all the instances of "she" with "Cheese" and doing a Dolly Parton impression on the phone to my sister

[draconym]

"What were you like before taking the meds tho"

Two weeks ago I was posting about eating cake frosting for dinner.

[comradesepsis]

I feel like it's worth mentioning that being on The Wrong Meds can indeed do the 90s movie thing to you.

Like, if you go on meds and that happens, it's not because whatever's going on with you is jut Too Severe or that you're doomed or only people with Other Illnesses get to have meds that make them feel actually good and you have to settle for "miserable but somehow so hollow I no longer care about the misery" and be grateful you're no longer actively suicidal or whatever.

If that shit happens to you, tell your fucking doctor. And if your doctor doesn't take you seriously, or acts like That's Just How Being On Meds Is, ditch them! Find a new doctor!! Because that is NOT how being on meds is supposed to work! That means the meds are not working correctly!!

[draconym]

Reblogging to agree and say that what was happening to me was (and to an extent still is) severe and was the result of manifold health problems and has taken the better part of a year to effectively treat. I did not expect medication to be this effective. But it is. So if you think that you are untreatable, get a second opinion.

[roach-works]

there is a single pill i can take to immediately live a day as the best version of myself-- not a superhero, not a perfect genius, but a good dude who can read and write and do the dishes. im optimistic and coherent and can plan for the future. i write novels and walk the dog and remember to shower and brush my teeth.

if i don't take this pill i spend the day as a dirty, inept husk, a sad sack of well-meaning but futile intentions just sapient enough to be dimly aware of everything im unable to be.

this pill is incredibly difficult to obtain a steady monthly supply of because when normal people take it they have a little more fun at parties.

[postapocalypticcottagecore]

Counterpoint: At least if I spend the remainder of my natural life as a dirty, inept husk, a sad sack of well-meaning but futile intentions just sapient enough to be dimly aware of everything I'm unable to be... at least I'll know I'm me, not a fake version of myself created by medication. Nor do I have to worry about regressing if I run out, the repeat prescription doesn't come in time etc.

Not dissing OP's choice to take advantage of the meds, but they're not for me.

[draconym]

Hey, so, this is kind of the attitude that made me afraid to take meds that I really benefit from: the idea that who you are on medication is somehow "not really you."

The person I was when I was very depressed did not feel like the real me. That was a version of me that was very ill. The "real me" is the me that is able to dance at stoplights and make art and enjoy food and laugh at jokes. And for now, I need pharmaceutical help to get back there.

The assistance that medication provides doesn't make me any less The Real Me than wearing glasses or taking painkillers. Depression is a physical illness. If you try medication and you don't like the way it makes you feel, then it's not a good medication for you. But you do get to choose, and I'm glad I have the opportunity to choose to actually be myself again.

[ashlgcostumes]

Kill the idea that suffering is somehow authentic and worthy, and take the fucking drugs. I lost years of my life to this kind of thinking and I have nothing to show for it other than a handful of embarrassing memories and a house full of clutter I don’t want or need. There’s at least five regularly used different classes of antidepressants! And about four more specifically for anxiety! They’re all acting on your brain in different ways and you will have different reactions to each of them! Don’t give up and accept misery because you’ve mistakenly believed the misery is your real personality!

[draconym]

It's been a year since I went on medication for PTSD and major depressive disorder. I can sleep again. I can taste food and I can cook. I can go back to work. My blood work is no longer dangerously abnormal. I've gained back the 16% of my body weight that I lost. I'm gonna be in a play this spring.

Look at all the things I did in 2025 and that I plan to do in 2026. Never kill yourself.
