They were once marketed as being from Tangier, a city in Morocco where a few are grown. They've more recently been called Mandarins, because they're in fact native to China.

Gamera could totally take both of them.

The most “scientifically feasable” of all Godzillas, in my opinion, was from the 1998 film.

One single individual, born out of the radion from nuclear tests. This implies it took decades to fully grow and mature.

Although gigantic, one animal would be sustainable by the ocean.

The film ends with the animal being killed, so, for a change, humans eliminated a bigger global ecological threat.

I thought it ended with at least one egg intact?

qyron,

It does, so it hints the cycle will restart.

I wonder what a tan^-1^gerine would look like.

The peel would be on the inside and the flesh outside. Much easier to eat.

sin(x)/cos(x) = tan(x)

cashsky,

I guess I needed to put /s on my shit post.

Aurenkin,

This is a bit of a tangent

MrSpArkle, in I am so connected to the earth rn.

Have a good rest of your day go fuck yourself bye.

amda,

Why such agressivity?

Squiddles,

It's a reference to the way that a certain youtuber ends their videos. "Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't". Highly recommend checking out that channel--dude just loves botany and running his mouth.

amda,

Will do, thanks!

Bees be like : ama swim in that, eat it, mix it with my saliva and regurgitate it, baby

Human : that’s some tasty gourmet shit you got there, buddy . From now on we’ll gas your entire home from time to time to steal that shit.

Isn’t it splendid when everybody gets what they want?

DroneRights,

This is fake news. It’s not gassing, it’s stoning. Smoke is weed for bees. We trading drugs for honey. They can leave if they want, cause they can fly.

TWeaK,

Have you ever tried to give a bee honey?

I found a bee near death outside once, and I picked him up with an envelope then dropped him in some manuka honey. He landed upside down, but I flipped him over, then he started drinking the honey. The next morning I saw a smudge on the floor and thought a housemate had squished him, but then I opened the door to the front room and he did a little dance in front of my face before I let him outside.

Suffice it to say, bees love honey just as much as we do.

DroneRights,

BTW that bee you saved was probably a female. Women do all the outdoor work in bee society, the males’ primary job is to fuck the queen. They’re little stay at home sluts.

nothacking,

steal that shit

That’s just how the bees pay rent.

My move was a Five Guys frequent customer card with all the holes punched out. Who would pass up a free burger?

dope, in Seriously???

Godzilla is nuclear powered. Fusion in special cells.

Kong is powered by plot magic.

CuttingBoard, in Oopsie!

He must use Arch.

puchaczyk, in help

The other day I saw a video of a cuckoo chick being eaten by a snake and everyone in the comments were cheering. Nobody likes those bastards lol.

SuperJetShoes, in Seriously???

I hate that this is even a thing.

  • Godzilla is a metaphor (either intended or simply ingrained in the Japanese psyche) for Hiroshima and Nagasaki
  • King Kong is a “Beauty and the Beast” love story

They are from different eras and are important films in their own way.

But we end up getting this shite because monsters must fight monsters, apparently.

It’s all a load of fucking shit and devalues the importance of each movies. It should never have been made.

Anyway, I haven’t seen the movie but Godzilla would win. Atomic breath. Come on guys, the monkey’s dead meat that you can’t touch for a hundred thousand years.

TrousersMcPants,

Shin Godzilla was great for following the original idea behind the first movie. Also that version of Godzilla would kick King Kongs monkey ass every day of the week.

  • Godzilla is a metaphor (either intended or simply ingrained in the Japanese psyche) for Hiroshima and Nagasaki

From what I’ve gathered, not quite. The film showed up around the time of the Castle Bravo tests at the Bikini Atoll. The bomb tested there turned out to be dirtier than predicted, and fallout made it to some Japanese fishing vessels. It became a bit of an international incident.

And then the original Gojira film launched. And one early scene showed a fishing boat, which went under in a bright flash of light.

Gojira, or Godzilla as he was westernised, was not just the personification of the bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it was the personification of the fact that this could happen again.

One take on it that I’m copying

SuperJetShoes,

Yes, you’re absolutely right, I’d forgotten about that.

I think my main point is still valid though - Godzilla is a physical manifestation of the destruction that nuclear activity can cause.

As I read on another post somewhere: “Ask a Japanese, and radiation creates monsters. Ask an American, and radiation creates superheros.”

Iron_Lynx,

And that part still holds. As Godzilla moved (surprisingly quickly) from existential horror to pulp action, the radiation theme endured.

DroneRights,

Do you still like Pacific Rim though?
