Godzilla did have a "natural" enemy in the second movie, he was an ankylosaur called Anguirus. How is this significantly different? 

Regarding there being more than one Godzilla, again, that was suggested at the end of the 1st film and confirmed with Godzilla Raids Again. Sounds to me like the director is sticking very close to the original films. 

As far as what sets him apart... he did have nukes dropped on him, and his species feeds on radiation. 

"Really looking like that script is real.

Also, I guess I wasn't too nutty with my precambrian theory, but its looking like Godzilla's species is even older than precambrian."

That's not possible: The Precambrian dates from the formation of the Earth 4.6 billion years ago to 540 million years ago. Only simple animals similar to sponges, jellyfish and worms had evolved prior to the end of the Precambrian. Godzilla has gills, so he is either a reptile that secondarily evolved gills after they were lost in his reptilian acestors, or he is a highly derived reptilomorph amphibian of some sort. Zoologically speaking, he would be placed in an entirely serperate class apart from amniotes (reptiles and mammals) and his connective tissues would be extremely different (and much stronger) than anything found in real animals. His bones would have to be as strong as some of the strongest metals on Earth, and his connective tissues would need to consist of polymers 100s of times stronger than regular proteins. Interesingly, if he were a real creature, the adaptations that allow his species to support their weight would render him nearly industructible. The fact that he lives off ionizing radiation also makes him a radiotroph; basically an organism that produces organic compounds from CO2 and some pigment that reacts with ionizing radation such as gamma rays. 

Regarding the Mutos, all I can say is virtually every organism has parasites of some kind, so why should Godzilla not have natural enemies? 

i as well, hate the idea that godzilla is the hunted, or that he is actually "forced" to do something, hes the freaking king for crying out loud!while i dont mind the idea of a species of godzillas, i kind of hope that there will be something that sets Gojira apart from the rest, something that we dont completely understand which makes him far more deadly

It doesnt work!! :(

Is it the plot point that you dont like, the technical stuff, or you just dont like the idea of insects hurting our favorite monster Godzilla?

Because honestly, imo, that isn't a good reason. Not bashing you or anything.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. 

Oh my!

To be sincere, I found this a little disapointing, because I didn't liked the idea that some giant bugs "hunted" the Godzilla species to put they eggs on it and see it die slowly, just like some giant wasps do to species of giant spiders (tarantulas?).

That is like to say that a tiger or lion is directly and particularly killed by a smaller foe. :o(

Well, that is what the suposed "leaked" script said. I realy hope this is NOT true.

That IS good... Damn!

I'm usually a harsh critic when it comes to artwork, but this is really impressive. Nice work!

@ JUNKERDE - I am not aware of any newer, skinnier Godzilla. The Godzilla on the cover of Empire Magazine is the final version you know. Just look at the one in the trailer and compare it to the magazine. It's the same creature. Just a different angle. But that is the final Godzilla.

The "Concept Godzillas" have long since been revealed to be the Brazil shot, the 2012 teaser, the Godzilla encounter in 2013, the 2013 teaser shown in Hall H, and the teaser trailer we got before the official trailer release.

But the one on Empire Magazine is the final Godzilla. That's been confirmed.

Anyway, I like this Godzilla's face. I don't see anything rat-like about it. Gareth Edwards said they used dogs, bears, and eagles in the designing of Godzilla's face, so it's only natural that it's going to have a slightly mammalian feel to it at certain angles. If they modeled his face off of mammals, then it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that he's going to have mammalian characteristics.

But yeah, the ultimate point is that I like it. I don't see anything weird about it or wrong with it. But that's just me.

I have tried to avoid reading leaked scripts due to the fact that most of them are faked or first drafts that sometimes don't resemble the final film in almost any way, shape or form.  Though I haven't read this one I can see from what many have pointed out after the most recent trailer that the leaked script is as close to spot on as it can be.  What I would have wanted even more is to be one of those invitees for the 20 min. screening they showed.  Saw a trailer review from IGN British crew and they were blown away by what they saw.

Good job not putting any spoilers out there other than to confirm what was in the script and what was on the screen in the trailer.

I remember getting so much hate for believing in the script...Oh well, i dont hold a grudge.

Anyway, i think all of this is good. And the things i read in the leak script(I still have a few of the pages, but its nothing important) where pretty cool.

Good guesses!  I guess I'm making a few stops on my way to work tomorrow... just in case! :)

Naestved Cinema, Naestved.

And no one is going to know what that is...

This is cool info, excellent find! I'm happy to hear that the American Godzilla might not be the only one of its kind. Leaves room for all kinds of possibilities for future movies.

Is his tail detachable or rubber because where is his tail in the box?

@Danzilla93

I'm guessing its a retail store of some sort. *Trollface.*

But judging by the blue trim... walmart maybe? Sam's Club? 

Also... this image appears to be taken in a store!  WHERE WAS THIS TAKEN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!  And why am I not there right now! :)

It doesn't matter one whit to me whether the leaked script is real or fake.

I'm confused about your desire to be "right" in discussions about the movie. Big deal, really. Just because you chose read a leaked script and ruin the movie for yourself doesn't make you more knowledgeable than fans who are waiting to see the movie on its own terms.

It's as if you're bragging about winning a game that no one else is playing or even wants to play.

Yes, I am engaging in some pre-film speculation based on tidbits of info from reviewers. It's FUN TO SPECULATE. I'm not claiming that it is what is really going to be in the movie.

So, in conclusion, you are right. Your knowledge of the film is correct and ours is not. But at least I will enjoy the surprises of the movie on May 16th. You won't.

TOYS R US ;)

Gojira2k:

THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW!!!!!!!!  The image in the other thread looks like it was taken in a store!  ARE STORES GETTING THESE THINGS ALREADY?!?!?!?!  And if so, what am I doing here in front of my computer with Godzilla money burning a hole in my pocket?!?! :)

@Gojira2K

Same town as my other best friend.

This is getting craycray.

IMAX theater in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Where are all these toys coming from!?!

malbus theter Alabama :)

You're welcome, man!  Keep up the excelent work! :)

@Godzilla'sWrath

Hah, you live in the same town as my best friend. 

@Danzilla93, hahaha I was just thinking about what he'd be saying with that look haha and thanks for the comments!

Nice

@Danzilla93

Yeah... sadly. 

@RF

Not sure how I need to chillout, but the church of "more than one Godzilla' is a generalization of the group of people that subscribe to the theory you cooked up.

You can receive my criticism of it however you like, I don't really care if you get offended or just laugh it off, whoever is right and wrong in all this-- it doesn't matter. I mean, really, isn't the whole act of being boastfully proud and righteous about how right one person is... pretty pointless? I mean, I've been right about a lot of things, but does it REALLY matter, will I be sitting at my death bed one day thinking "sure am glad I argued with all those people on the internet when I could be spending that time with people I love!". Its a scary line of thought to get into. 

Just making a point that fans are more likely to follow their own theories and ignore the facts. Thus far, there is a far greater chance that the script is real than ever and no matter how much people deny it, its not going to change that fact.

While they continue to deny it-- they fall in troves to theories that have little or no backing. Whether its the multi-Godzilla theory, the Muto Rodan Theory, it honestly doesn't matter. If you came up with the theory, yet don't deny the script's legitimacy, that is fine-- I'm just generalizing those who whole heartedly agree with your theory, despite its vagueness and lack of evidence, and denounce the theory that the script is real-- despite the overwhelming evidence that it is.

If any of that makes sense

WOW!!!!  Dude, this is amazing!  It really does look official!  I love the look on his face in the first picture... "yeah, I'm like SO the King of the Monsters, Maaan..." :)

Amazing work!

WOW! :D Well, thats our Jakks Pacific figure!  I use the term "figure" here lightly.  From the look of that picture with the kid, this thing is big enough to be a sibling!  I'm definitely spending my well earned money on this massive thing!

@Akagi

Alien did have music. It was composed by the late Jerry Goldsmith and is often cited as one of his best scores.

"more than one Godzilla fighting in the film"

@Akagi

Please don't include me in that list just so you can make a rhetorical point. I have not seen the leaked script and have no opinion on whether it is fake or real.

#chillout

LOL I think the script was proven real once the 2nd trailer came out

Also... the box says "possibly" the last of his species... more fuel for the "two Godzilla's" fire?

Holy crap. O_o

Well... there's your back story.  Pretty much.

Sounds an awful lot like the leaked script, doesn't it?  I thought the "ancient radioactive monster" theory disproved that script, but it looks like that't the origin of Godzilla for the movie! 

Just anther reason to own the Jakks Pacific figure!

(and what an appropriate 100th post for me!)
