Honestly ー can go to hell, it's the only issue I've got with reading tests

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, they did what they always do and elevated something they adopted because they are divorced from the rules that structured it elsewhere.

They just need to add gingerbread skyscrapers getting destroyed

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Or more likely they understood the rules but said fuck it and made it more fun

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

Skill level: Asian, for sure.

Japan ~~is still trying to figure out~~ has figured out Christmas.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Sad to see so many places opting for artificial Godzillas these days

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Oh and I suppose you think everyone should go out and kill their own Godzilla for Christmas like in the old days? Some of us don't have time for that sort of thing you know!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

it's understandable; they are probably being environmentally conscious and trying to avoid giving the ax to >!the population with another nuclear bomb!<

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

I feel like we have a lot to learn from this

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Kaiju > Jesus.

At least Kaiju are real.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Kaiju are responsible for far fewer mass casualties in the last 2000 years.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

In 2025 I'm celebrating Kaijmass.

Figure it out?!

I think they nailed it!

[–] [email protected] 36 points 5 days ago

Looks like they figured it out pretty good.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago

Well, I'm pretty sure they won.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

Figure it out? Looks like a christmas win to me…

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

Maybe we are the one still trying?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago

No they've got it figured out

[–] [email protected] 45 points 5 days ago

Making it look like America is still trying to figure out Christmas.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

Japan is lightyears ahead of us when it comes to Christmas.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I think they are closer to the mark than we are in North America

I'd love to have a Godzilla in my living room than a plain old Christmas tree

I ride motorcycle and I've lobbied my wife for years to just bring in my bike and display it all winter long and even decorate it like a Christmas tree.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Will bring a nice holiday smell to the house

Crank that HOG BROTHERRRR

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

lol .... that's only something you could do in a closed well sealed room once in your life.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

This brings a new meaning to the Hogfather.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago

this is what dominating Christmas looks like

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

That is 100% my kind of Christmas.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I mean Christmas was originally about bringing in forest spirits (believed to live in evergreens) to protect your home from evil spirits (probably bugs), so, godzilla is pretty on point

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Pretty sure christains stole winter solstice from the Pagans and changed it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

what I described was a pagan tradition, which was "adopted" by, iirc, the catholic church so pagans could convert and still celebrate thier traditions. I don't remember all the winter solictice traditions but I am sure other traditions or holidays have been added to the amalgam over the centuries, like, the whole deal with Santa.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

Figuring out how not to be so badass, you mean? I'd take a Christmas tree Godzilla.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It's funny.

If this was a gag scene in a comedy movie, it'd be shunned for being Asiaphobic and racist.

But this is real life Japan

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago

Looks bad ass to me. I would rather have that than a boring old tree shaped tree

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Because it depends on a magical thing called context

Humour is also subjective and you can do it without being an asshole

Understanding the people and the culture can help with that

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 days ago

Ngl this is pretty perfect

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Christmas is about traditions. Godzilla is a Japanese tradition

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Missing Christmas mothra on top.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

The spirit of destruction.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

Funny. Resisting Christmas through opposition is well established now, while twisting its narrative seems way more effective at making it your own.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

But why do the shops have those cookies only at christmas?!
