The reboot...?

[ He thinks about that a while. Really thinks. Somewhere, in the back of his mind... ]

...The one from a couple years ago. That's the one with the motorcycle chase through the city, right?

[hanamane]

[Do you see that thousand yard stare? That is the stare of a boy having to reckon with the unearthing of something he had tried SO VERY HARD to bury in his mind over the past few years.]

... technically, yes. But we don't talk about that particular entry in the series.

[Because, seriously, who thought it was a good idea to put a motorcycle chase in a kaiju film?? People were watching it for the giant monsters smashing up cities, not the cool car stunts!!]

[considergun]

Oh.

[ HE VISIBLY DEFLATES... ]

I thought it was kind of cool.

[hanamane]

I-I'm not... saying it wasn't or anything, but-- it felt more suited for one of those superhero films instead of a kaiju one? There's nothing really wrong with liking it on it's own if you haven't watched the others.

[Even if it was a blasphemy to the name of Teki-Terra films, but hey, people had to start from somewhere!! And maybe this guy would see the light after watching the original films, hopefully.]

[considergun]

...I can't say I really get it. But tell me which you recommend, then. I'll just start there.

[HO BOY... you do not know what you just unleashed here, Ei!!]

Well, you gotta start with the Showa trilogy, obviously. [He pats the poster for the screenings for emphasis, before continuing:] Even if they rebooted the series, it's always good to know where it started from, and the story arc across the first three films is more solid, in my opinion.

Then you can move on to the Heisei films, but I think the first two are the stronger ones of the bunch. They kind of just go so-so after that.
