“We’ll escape, we’ll escape into the future—into that dimension we’ve never seen… all of you join me, in escape!”Kid’s interest in Godzilla piqued by the latest CG fests afforded me the opportunity to revisit and share my 昭和-era favorites, including the psychedelic Smog Monster with that startling sight of the big guy from a roller coaster and this denouement of the would-be conqueror from Planet X. I’d later learn many of the stark final moments of characters in Japanese film and television (see Star Blazers for more egregious examples) were edited out of our impressionable young minds, but listening to the original audio at last, that doesn’t seem to have been the case, and the meta-dread following me all these years seems justified.
