Russ Tamblyn is one of the main reasons why I can never put War of the Gargantuas over Frankenstein conquers the world. Nick Adams had such a a strong presence in Frankenstein and whenever him and kumi were together it felt they just wanted to stick each other's tongues down their throats. Those two had such great chemistry together. In Gargantuas Russ is radiating both 'I'm gay' and 'I don't care' vibes all over the place. I swear a wooden board would have been more enthralling to watch. The human characters may seem superficial sometimes but a great cast does help make a good Kaiju film into a great Kaiju film. It's one of the reasons why Godzilla vs Gigan is so loved. That one has one of the best human cast in the series.
Frankly, de-sequelfying it was for the best. There are details that don't add up when they're considered sequels. Kumi Mizuno doesn't play the same character she did in the last one, if you need a red flag for what to expect from an analysis.
@@ZaGorudan Yeah I always thought that was odd but sequel world building wasn't too tight and common back then. Maybe that's one of the reasons Honda wasn't too happy with the film
