I was never really excited about the theme but now I’m feeding off other people’s excitement for it. Just listening to other people’s nostalgia and how fondly they remember watching the old Toho stuff on rainy afternoons has got me excited to see where they go with it.
I think it has a lot of potential in the right hands and I agree with most of you the artwork could be amazing if done right.
Elwin has already done similar theme with JP. I say give it to Eddy. Stranger Things was just him shaking off the cobwebs after 20 years out of the business, that and I think Stern wanted a straight up rip off of AFM with a theme they considered to be a homerun. I’m betting Eddy will smash it on his next effort!
I hope they do it old school, with the poorly dubbed b movies instead of the modern ones because that would be half its charm. If done like Elvira, it could be a great machine and bags of fun!
