Godzilla is losing but i think it can go back like godzilla did vs dawn of the planet of the apes if you keep on voting Godzilla
^This is closer to what I expect. Maybe a bit darker and with less of a melody, but yes. Dihgow has it right!
SpaceGodzilla.
Duatok, pretty much hit the nail on the head. The Heisei series always had a problem with over explaining origins and technical specs, but SpaceGodzilla's origin was a whole different level stupid. Not only was the explaination for his exisistance overdone, but they offered two different explainations for how G-Cells made it into space.
I miss the Showa era where monsters' origins were vague and their exsistence was more mysterious.
I dont think itll be Godzilla that made Ford Brody jump, I bet its a Muto monster, and it was even on a railroad track and we found out that it was a Muto ripping the train apart, so its probably near that scene
The vampire franchise has one of the most rabid fanbases of female, brazilian teenagers I've ever seen in the last couple of decades. It's really impressive. I've also never heard of the movie X-Men is losing to.
Because its based of a friggin book, also I just searched up the movie already and reading the plot and whats it about, I would agree how the hell is Godzilla losing?? People are gonna regret it when Godzilla comes out
titanosaurus has potential, he would just have to be renamed to prevent confusion with the actual dinosaur that has that name
gabbara is your worst goji nightmare you say? well i suppose that is kind of what gabbaras supposed to do...
i saw both trailers and right now im just wondering HOW THE HECK IS GODZILLA LOSING TO THAT!?
I want to see some like this in the end credits:
These are cool
At # 1 for the dumbest Godzilla movie is chough*Godzilla's Revenge*cough.
And at #1 for dumbest godzilla consept design is (drum roll please) Gabara yea me and all my friends hate him for 1 reason. He has an anoying sound and look. He's my worst Goji Nightmare
YOU DARE THREATEN MECHA-GODZILLA LIKE THAT! I SHALL BRING YOU TO YOUR DEMISE......with candy....and rainbows.....and cookies...... and Godzilla jr.
Space Godzilla and Battra for me. "Godzilla and Biollante DNA turned into pixie dust and floated into space, where it crashed with a big crystal, fell into a black hole, something something something, SPACE GODZILLA".
Battra is pretty silly too, "It's like Mothra, but EVIL!"
Get your votes in before the 20th when the next round starts!!! Godzilla needs a lot of votes right now!
I'm guessing my Linkzilla you mean me lol. I do get your points and I understand all of that. However, as I said before when you have car and beer companies doing 1+ minute to even two minute ads during the Superbowl just to promote their brand, not even to promote a new car or beverage, and these are often the highest rated ads in each Super Bowl (look back and you will see that every award show for commercials during the SB has the Chrysler and Budweiser ads near the top) a movie, especially a big name one like this, can do the same. Yes it would be costly. As for the rate of return, however, Pacific Rim made I believe it was over $300 million abroad after it's release. International markets have become just as big as the US market for movies in recent years, and classic names like Godzilla tend to even better nationally. That's not to say Godzilla won't do well here, in fact, I think it will do better than most of the recent blockbusters. As long as we're talking about budgets though let's consider this- they JUST came out with the first teaser for Godzilla. Most of the "marketting" has occured through leaks that cost the studio absolutely nothing as far as advertising goes. They haven't spent much on it so far and I can't see that increasing anytime soon. Truth be told, in a market where not as many people are going to movies because of the economy, you have to reach as many people as possible in other ways, and considering we only have one teaser so far for Godzilla, it would make sense to market on TV in the ways that would reach the most possible people- the Super Bowl is that. Millions of people watching? Check. A commercial longer than 30 seconds (which is easy to miss) that will draw people in as it goes on? Possible. It's no guarantee for success but it's no guarantee for failure either. I just think it's a smart decision, one most other studios won't try. High risk high reward.
Seeing as how Legendary/Gareth Edwards had close ties with Toho during the devlopment of this movie, and they're the ones distrubuting the film in Japan, I don't think hearing the main theme is entirely out of the question.
Hey everyone! Godzilla WON the first round of voting BUT Godzilla's currently LOSING to Vampire Academy in the second round... COME ON GODZILLA FANS!!! GET YOUR ACTS TOGETHER AND GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!
@Linkzilla
The problem is, however, most people don't go revisit movie trailers after the Super Bowl. They revisit the commercials they like most-- Remember, there are awards shows for commercials now and Super Bowl Ads typically head that line-up. Movie trailers are kept at 30 seconds because studios A) Don't want to blow a lot of their promotional money on Super Bowl ads, B) Have a budget to consider for promotion and C) Also have other movies throughout the year to consider promoting.
Also a two minute spot for a movie? That's promotional suicide in this day and age. You might as well ask Legendary's Super Bowl spot to be their last trailer because a two minute spot is close to $10 million for the Super Bowl. That would put Godzilla deeper in the financial hole and there's no guarantee that money will be made back from audiences watching.
This is the problem with Super Bowl trailers I was mentioning. The rate of return has not been proven by Super Bowl ads. Blockbusters like Star Trek into Darkness are proof that it doesn't always work.
Meanwhile, you're asking way too much from any movie to release a two minute ad during the Super Bowl. No studio is going to pay that kind of money for a slot that long. It would be the only promotion the movie gets from here until its release.
Would a Super Bowl ad for Godzilla be good? Yes. It would at least have more exposure. If it doesn't have a Super Bowl ad will it hurt box office returns? No. There is no and has never been any proof of that.
I feel like it should be an older monster that hasn't been brought back in a while. Megalon could be an interesting one. Manda or Varan are other good possibilities. Giving Moguera the attention it deserves would be pretty boss too. Personally, if they did a sequel to this movie based off the book Godzilla Invades America I would flip s**t.
Personally I think it's not smart to miss premiering a new trailer during the Super Bowl and here's why. I understand that the Superbowl is extremely expensive. Further, I also get that most movie trailers during it aren't as well remembered (even though those are the ones I tend to re-watch after the game is over). However, there are other factors here. For starters, Legendary only has one other movie coming out between now and Godzilla and that is 300 Rise of an Empire, which comes out barely two months before Godzilla. Most movies get a full real trailer (not a teaser like we have for Godzilla) several months before the premiere (300 had one months before, How to Train Your Dragon 2 has one already, etc.) and I feel like 300 is a little too late to get one out. Second, yes while many people don't remember the trailers from the Superbowl as well, that's also because most of the trailers end up being 30 second spots. If the studio put out more money (and come on, Gareth Edwards did this movie on $40 million less dollars than Pacific Rim was done, they can put out some) and got a minute or even two minute long commercial, like how Chrysler does every year, they would have a longer, more memorable spot that people will remember, again like the Chrysler or Budweiser one each year. Finally, while many people I know are stoked for Godzilla many more people I've met either haven't seen the teaser or know little to nothing about the film. Premiering this during the Super Bowl would ensure a large viewing audience to get the word out to. Showing off, say, the airport scene from CC that's been under wraps or some other amazing footage would be perfect for this opportunity. Again, though, that's my opinion.
i like 54 the best and i wouldnt change it i did like his roar but i like the roar from GVSMGII also. I`m 48 and i remember when i was 7 i saw 54 and whenthey showed the foot prints and
then his head peer over the mountain top it scare you to death lol!
The giant Condor from Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster of course. I'd like to see a revamped version Megalon. He had a lot of potential and looked pretty cool but is associated with a gay couple who built a robot that could somehow fly and grow to Daikaiju sizes.
The song Radioactive doesn't even have anything remotely to do with Godzilla. People only want that song in it because it has the word "Radioactive" in it, but the rest of the lyrics don't even make sense with anything that Godzilla stands for. People around here are literally saying, "Oh, it has the word 'radioactive' so it should be with a Godzilla movie." That's an awful reason and none of the lyrics suggest anything remotely thematic about Godzilla or what we've learned about the movie.
Not to mention the song sounds nothing like anything Desplat has done in the past and it would clash horribly with the mood of the movie.
It's a moot point anyway. I'm about 99% sure there won't be a song in the credits. Just more score from Desplat. I'm willing to put money on it. A lot of money...
#1 Hedorah, #2 Biollante. With modern CGI abilities these two could be done exceptionally well. A kaiju made of sludge with out the constrictions of a rubber suit could make for some pretty amazing scenes. The 'revamping' Hedorah got in 2004 was a joke, he and Biollante deserve another shot

What? A two minute long trailer amongst commercials meant to make you laugh and that's it. You put a dark, realistic and gritty trailer amongst those? It's simple marketing. You don't do that. It's not what people want to see.
Sorry, but who is Vishnu
I fell like I'ma get punched in the face for asking
I agree with Radioactive & Demons.
It's a fan made sculpt, I follow them on DA, but it is a good representation of what we know so far about the MUTOs.
@DylanCojiro, if they had to put a recent song in I would say Radioactive but, I think you're absolutely right about the main theme, but don't get your hopes up...you saw what they did with Man of Steel. I like Alexandre Desplat's music and I think he'll do a good job, but please fit the main theme in there somewhere.
I'd say Kiryu, Biollante(even though I've never seen the movie), Titanosaurus, and Space-G & Megalon.
At #1 drum roll plese dumdumdudum: Mechagodzilla. Ya ya Kiryu is practicaly Mecha-G but I mean the 1 from The Terror Of Mechagodzilla & Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla 1. It's just intresting to me that ALIENS CONTROLLED HIM, plus, Xillians are my favorite. (sorry if im wrong, It's been a couple year since I've seen the movies) :(
What are you talking about? Godzilla makes a tsunami when he comes to shore and I doubt before he goes into the water he looks down at his reflection on his free time LOL. I'm talking about a perfectly mirrored reflection from windows. It's definitely a cool idea.
Please no. How about no song of any kind, no current radio jam or anything like that. I think that would be ridiculous and would completely undo the tone of the film. If anything, during the end credits play the original Godzilla theme.
He'll look like Godzilla.
To be honest the only thing I likes about Radioactive was the beat, but ever scence "Demons" I have wanted nothing to do with Imagine Dragons.
@GOJIRA2K wow (._.)
Everything but "Radioactive"...Oh god i hate that song. And the only reason people link it to Godzilla is because its called radioactive.
