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

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months 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.

[–] zart 9 points 3 months ago

They just need to add gingerbread skyscrapers getting destroyed

[–] x4740N@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Skill level: Asian, for sure.

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 62 points 3 months ago

Figure it out?!

I think they nailed it!

[–] DJKJuicy 51 points 3 months ago

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

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 45 points 3 months ago

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

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 36 points 3 months ago

Looks like they figured it out pretty good.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 32 points 3 months 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.

[–] HootinNHollerin@slrpnk.net 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Will bring a nice holiday smell to the house

Crank that HOG BROTHERRRR

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

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

[–] ours@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

This brings a new meaning to the Hogfather.

[–] emerald@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months 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!

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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

[–] ours@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Kaiju > Jesus.

At least Kaiju are real.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] ours@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

In 2025 I'm celebrating Kaijmass.

[–] eruchitanda@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

Well, I'm pretty sure they won.

[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 20 points 3 months ago

Ngl this is pretty perfect

[–] x4740N@lemm.ee 17 points 3 months ago

No they've got it figured out

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 17 points 3 months ago

this is what dominating Christmas looks like

[–] HexadecimalSky@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months 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

[–] x4740N@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] HexadecimalSky@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months 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.

[–] dogsoahC@lemm.ee 16 points 3 months ago

Maybe we are the one still trying?

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 15 points 3 months ago

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

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

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

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 13 points 3 months 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

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

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

[–] x4740N@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months 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

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

The spirit of destruction.

[–] Jubei_K_08@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

That is 100% my kind of Christmas.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Christmas is about traditions. Godzilla is a Japanese tradition

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 7 points 3 months ago

Missing Christmas mothra on top.

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 6 points 3 months ago

I feel like we have a lot to learn from this

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

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