Talk:Mothra vs. Godzilla

message: But this was actually a deleted scene in Japan (and not made exclusively for AIP, contrary to legend), and included only in prints outside Japan for international marketing. It was seen briefly in the original Japanese trailer. The reason for its deletion was that Japanese viewers, who were still sensitive after WWII, were supposedly offended by seeing American missiles hit Japanese ground.

message: The American version of the movie calls Infant Island "Mothra Island" for whatever reason.  Bad translation, I guess. 207.216.197.154 (talk) 00:01, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Added a reference to the fact that the 1964 AIP release included Canada as well as the U.S. (source: myself, since I saw it that year...) 猫に小判  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 猫に小判 (talk • contribs) 15:12, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Canadian Release

message: * OPPOSED: I think it's absolutely unnecessary to add the writers and producers in the lead when readers can easily find them in the infobox but User:MatthewHoobin argues that it is necessary. The lead is suppose to be a brief summary covering key points of the article. Adding the writers/producers credit just bloats the lead further. Not that the lead is completely bloated but where will it end? I found an edit from Matthew Hoobin where he even added the music composers credit to the lead, check here. I understand that these credits were instrumental to the fruition of these films. I get it, but as editors, we need to have a level of consistency and organization in the lead based notability and what's already easily covered in the infobox.

replies: text: Comment: I do concede, in retrospect, that mentioning Akira Ifukube as the composer in the lead for Terror of Mechagodzilla was unnecessary. I did feel that it was somewhat relevant to mention him returning to compose for the final film of the Shōwa era, but I now see that mentioning him in the article's lead was not needed. I say this per WP:FILMLEAD, and since, heck, there's no mention of Bernard Herrmann in the lead of Psycho, nor is there mention of John Williams in the lead of Jaws, etc. –Matthew - (talk) 22:18, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Producer/Writer credits in lead 

message: Please note this is not a review of the articles GA nomination but rather an editor's observation of the titled production section.
Looking over the production section of this article, I do find this section a bit underdeveloped in terms of the sub-section son the film's development and writing. There is a lot more information out there that once can place and cite in this article that tells of these aspects of the film's production, so much more work is needed here to expand those. Also there is not a lot of information on the principle photography, just the film's special effects. I suggest taking a good look around and add/expand a "Filming" sub-section. Again this is all observations that I have that will help the eventual GA review move along more smoothly. I also suggest taking a good look at the other sections and see if there is anything you need to fine tune or expand. Anyways hope this helps.--Paleface Jack (talk) 17:17, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately, the information on the development and writing sub-sections were the only pieces available for those categories. I own an extensive collection of books and English audio commentaries on the topic of the making behind Godzilla films, and this was the best I could find. I could only find extensive information on the effects, and it makes sense to give that sub-section priority given that it is an effects driven, or rather, a tokusatsu film.

replies: text: After doing a little digging I have got some books you can look at on Google Books. I will keep looking into stuff when I have the time but here is a list of book titles:

*The Psychotronic Video Guide To Film By Michael Weldon (review)
*Keep Watching the Skies!: American Science Fiction Movies of the Fifties ... By Bill Warren

replies: text: Appreciate it. I've culled some info from Ryfle's "Japan's Favorite Mon-star" and Ryfle's audio commentary, which culls info from the same book too. A chunk of the source I used was Ryfle and Godziszewski's 2017 biography on Ishiro Honda and his works, but I'll take a look at the rest, just in case. Thanks a bunch!

text: That would be so great! Thanks again! Armegon (talk) 19:39, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

text: Well, the whole purpose of that opening is Honda's quote regarding Toho's intention's with the target audience. We can probably rewrite it as, "Prior to production, Honda discussed Toho's intentions with the cast due to the then rising success of television, stating..." and then we segues into the quote.

thread_title:  Production section review 

message: Per my previous edit on another Godzilla page.  I'm applying the rules Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not which states " does not aim to contain all data or expression found elsewhere.". In short, these extra cast members lack context and WP:FILMPRODUCTION, which states that we attempt "to maintain a production standpoint, referring to public announcements only when these were particularly noteworthy or revealing about the production process." What information is being gleamed here from these extra details in crew? They have no Wikipedia articles, and it doesn't encourage an understanding of what they are doing and comes off as trivial.

replies: text: Is it truly necessary to bring this dispute to every single Godzilla article talk page? You've already brought up the dispute at the talk page for Ghidorah. We should establish a general consensus there for all Godzilla articles retaining crew lists. Armegon (talk) 17:29, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I feel weird discussing it on only one film article when it should probably be discussed at WP:FILM's talk page instead, but either way. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:16, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
