Had not heard this. Cool! But also dang it, we were so close...

Same! Felt this way for many years. Also woolly mammoths.

Shin Gojira. It could keep mutating in creative ways, and genuinely seemed unbeatable (it could be slowed but not defeated). Godzilla Minus One works as a complete story, a sequel might cheapen some of the character development and resolution that helped make it a standout in the first place.

Power play. Devil on my shoulder wants to point out nicknames like North America, New Zealand, etc.

Please! Bug type that becomes bug/fairy in final evolution

Rodan = flying type starter
(becomes flying/fire)

Godzilla = water type starter
(becomes water/dragon)

Anguirus = ground type starter
(becomes ground/fighting)

Beautiful and refreshing. We need more of this kind of content in the hell of cyberspace. Thank you for the pointer.
