Plus, this would require him adding the "click (insert sponsor)'s link in the description for (insert deal said sponsor is giving at that time)" bits, as some are part of the skit/storyline. As most of these offers will have expired by the time the video is posted (not to mention the fact the offers will be complete defunct with a year at the very least), it'll confuse some people and may even angry some (terribly stupid) idiots.

      That's easy. If you want a weapon for the hero, just take the world's most generic sword and make it shoot lightning or something as soon as the going gets tough and it looks like the hero would have needed to actually work for their victory otherwise. As for the supporting cast, all the good guys use swords, bows are reserved for dainty little elves and ladies (it's not like it takes great arm-strength to fire one or anything /s) and only evil generic henchmen use polestars and crossbows. Mages only ever use staffs that are useless in close combat, and you'd think adding a blade to it and make a staff that doubles as a polearm would be nifty, but nope, remember the bit where only lowly henchmen use pole-arms.
      As for comedy relief characters, you don't need to give them a weapon at all, just have them wack the baddies with a frying pan, I'm sure that's totally fresh and not done to death.

      Funny part is, for most the kaiju genre it's been a hassle to get the start of the shows (the giant stompy death monsters) to leave their trailer until the final act. It's taken stuff like Pacific Rim and more recent Godzilla films to cut the bullshit and go for the good stuff.

      @@Superkid33 the script is written, and I've been pitching it around. Nobody has picked it up yet for development. They keep using the words "contrived" and "you're not a writer are you..."
      It may have to do a rewrite. I'm thinking 2029 at the earliest.

    You forgot about the 'mega badass'. An emotionless, gritty or irreverant character that saves the say by killing the monster with a weapon that would just be a mere toothpick to it in reality(Beowulf, LOTR, pretty much any video game featuring giant monsters(Dark Souls, Monster Hunter, Dragon's Dogma).

    • @eddiefernandez5052
      @eddiefernandez5052 3 года назад +5

      At least in dark souls and(to a lesser extent)monster hunter, it takes like 147 hits with the weapon to kill it, and the big boi monster can kill you in 4 hits.

    7:00 actually, the "we were bored" thing could be turned into an interesting reflection on human behaviour when not given an outlet for mental stimulation outside of their job, but that might be more about an alien movie rather than a monster movie. Most people are just here for Godzilla, which is understandable.
