Its well made and all, but...Why an egg? And what does the black represent?

@ZILLAHATER Don't worry, I understand what you meant. It would be cool if it was based off the original but just with Gareth's new graphic design.

@SHAZOTHEHEDGEHOG I simply answered his question about how to add in Ghidorah realisticly, in a discriptive way.

How about we do one of those things where you hire a plane to carry around a "happy birthday, godzilla" sign behind it in Hollywood or something? I don't live there, but it'd be cool.

I don't think I like what this implies. xD It looks pretty good though.

Man,if only we could get mini Godzillas for prizes. No,not toys,but actual living mini Godzillas! It would be a dream come true! You nuclear scientists,GET TO IT ALREADY!!!!

Well,probably not Mecha-Godzilla. Maybe possibly a Jaeger-like version of Jet Jaguar AT MOST,and even that is stretching it. Also,Kyero,THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one who knew of that intuitive article!

Like you, no idea on what Godzilla is going to be mutated from (to me, nor what geneder. I\'ve read that in the deep sea it\'s the females who\'s bigger). I do have a realistic monster to threaten Godzilla. 1: Kaiju-fied Deep Sea Crab. With their tough shell, this fella could take a beating. Particularly if it lived near a Hydrothermal Vent before mutation so as it can withstand high heat!

I hadn\\\'t gotten that far yet, but I\\\'m thinking on it. We could make up \\\'downloadable\\\' prizes. Prizes such as... 1: Top prize, a cool wallpaper of the size comparison of each of the Godzillas (and Zilla) that came before 2014 plus an animated gif that shows the head + year of that Godzilla (to be along side the size relation wallpaper). 2: For those that answered the 29 questions but failed to get the bonus right, it would be just the wallpaper. 3: Not sure on the other prizes for those that didn\\\'t do as well, but hopefully the above will give you some ideas.

"This coming from the guy who keeps moaning that the realism factor will take away elements like Mechagodzilla. Becides, better they use a famous foe like Mechagodzilla or King Ghidorah rather then a kaiju no one cares about, like Baran." Yes, i said it'd take away all the mechs, and any potential new ones; was mechagodzilla the only mech, no..... I the only reason peoples don't care about other kaiju is because toho has a thing for, despite having a wide variety of potential foes, putting the same 3(King Ghidorah, Mothra, and MechaG) in every other movie. This is finally a chance to see the lesser known enemies and you want to go back to the same thing? don't see why.

"That and mechaGodzilla is an already overused enemy if they bring some1 back from the old series it needs to be a less used foe." This coming from the guy who keeps moaning that the realism factor will take away elements like Mechagodzilla. Becides, better they use a famous foe like Mechagodzilla or King Ghidorah rather then a kaiju no one cares about, like Baran. And that isn't even true. The realism factor will only go as far as peoples reaction to Godzilla and the other monsters and given that the idea of harnessing nuclear energy is in itself unrealistic then who's to say that mankind won't build Mechagodzilla as a counter measure? But given that the sequel will be based on Monster Island, it's hard to imagine how Mechagodzilla will fit in.

Not to sound overly negative, but Mechagodzilla most certainly does NOT fit the whole "realistic" thing that Edwards and Legendary Pictures are going for. Remember that this is Legendary Picture's interpretation of Godzilla, and taking more monsters from the Toho universe would be nothing short of contrived and irresponsible. Creating their own monsters and creating a fresh and new legacy for the Big-G in America takes precedence over pleasing fans who want to see new versions of Toho monsters, including Mecha-G. I know that Mechagodzilla has a lot of die hard fans who want to see a modern interpretation of him (not counting the millennium Kiryu incarnation), but the sad fact is that Mechagodzilla is not a "realistic" image. A crossover between Pacific Rim and Godzilla would be about as realistic as a giant robot vs Godzilla could get in a modern movie. To put a final nail in the coffin on this subject, there would be no logical reason to model a robot after Godzilla himself just because he happens to be the strongest of the Kaiju they've faced. Godzilla is bulky, slow moving, and has a power source as a Kaiju which human beings cannot possibly understand. Read the following information and you'll understand why: http://www.angelfire.com/ego/g_saga/kaijubiologyarticle.html A Mecha-Godzilla in the Legendary Pictures line up would be an obviously forced effort on the part of Gareth Edwards and LP to reproduce Toho's success, and as one of the most successful movie making companies in America today there is no reason at all for them to force themselves to turn to Toho's creatures for help. Mecha-G is an awesome monster, no arguments or complaints, but it doesn't belong in Legendary Pictures Godzilla franchise anymore than any other Toho monster does besides Godzilla himself.

Maybe it could work, because Germans have been making Giant Mechs for a while now.

It is a very decent idea, if you plan on being a script writer or author, you should make some touches to the plan or the main idea so you can grab the reader's attention. I made a FanFiction a couple days ago for a competition, the winner will be announced soon, and I had to make sure it grabbed the judges attention. I'm not saying that this a bad idea, but you should make some final touches. Overall, a very decent idea for a start. Keep up the good work.

@ZILLAHATER There is another Discussion that was talking about Godzilla's realistic traits, you should read up on that if you haven't yet. I like these comments, I have made lots of mistakes on it, as I said before this is my first discussion so it's not a good first impression. I will make a better, simplified one overtime.

You wanna know how to fit Ghidorah into a sequel? Here is the trick; Just make him a giant three headed dragon from outer space. Why change that? The entire realism thing is annoying me. If this was supposed to be realistic, Godzilla wouldnt be in the movie. Atleast, that depends on what kind of realism youre going for. When you make a kaiju films, there are two forms of realism; Technical realism (Shitzilla 98) and Political realism (Gojira, Godzilla 2014). Whats the difference? Technical realism is about making realistic looking stuff. Everything has too be realistic to a degree, for the creatures origin, the cgi, effects, sounds etc. Political realism comes, not from the monster, but by the people at his feet. Thats what made Gojira epic, the monster doesnt need to be all that realistic, its about how these characters react and what they do. The monster can be as fantastic and far fetched as they please. But there is nothing wrong with technical realism, and there will be a bit of it in Godzilla 2014 from what i can see. You may disagree with me, but thats just how i see it. Og god i made this comment far too long havent i? XD

Nope, not a good idea. Hummanity "all of a sudden" getting the technology and ressources to build a robot made sense in movies like Pacific Rim where so much time went on. Here, it wouldnt go. Besides, id rather see something more interesting like Gabara (Yeah, i said that!" or Baragon.

Working on one right now.

I say go for it.

I say go for it.

THEN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET THOSE POINTS? A prize perhaps? But how would we obtain and keep the prize? Or how about a BIG godzilla party here in this thread? But how would we start the party?

Oh I didn't know that BCRockett, thanks for that slice of info. and i think a megalodon might be a challenge for Godzilla ,because of Megalodon's sheer natural size and rows and rows of ridiculously large and sharp teeth. but if we wanna discuss realistic sea monsters for him to box, why not Godzilla take on something like a giant squid or another sea based Dinosaur like him(or what ever he will be in this one) or have him fight another Godzilla, like fighting for territory or a natrual food source, . that would be some thing to think about.

To clarify, Edwards said he wanted to explore the "Monster Island" concept used in the original Destroy All Monsters movie. He never, at any time nor place, said anything about making a sequel based on Destroy All Monsters as a film or story. The concept of using Monster Island and the concept of basing an entire movie sequel on Destroy All Monsters are two very different things, and it is a topic which has been mistakenly reported and debated for a long time now. So I will say it once more: Edwards never said anything about making a "Destroy All Monsters" sequel. He said he'd like to explore the concept of "Monster Island." Period.

Okay, here are my own ideas for the second monster to face the New American Godzilla: 1: A monster that employs the bio-luminescent lure trick used by real deep sea fish to draw in prey. 2: A monster sized 'Bobbit Worm', aka deep sea predatory worm that (in our real life/know counterpats) are big and tough enough to eat fish! 3: Some kind of parasitic creature (to do damage from the inside to defeat Godzilla). 4: A deep sea version of a megalodon.

In case the trailer doesn\\\'t come out.... well how about a \\\'Godzilla Movie Quiz\\\'? Here\\\'s my idea for it: 1: It would have 29 normal questions, each question is about a movie (the trick is figuring out which movie it is, yes even the 1998 Zilla film). 2: At the end will be a bonus question that could be from any movie(s) so it\\\'s the hardest of all. (So 29 regular questions and 1 Bonus = 30 questions in all) 3: Each normal question is worth 35 points and the bonus 999 points ([29 x 35 = 1,015] 1015 + 999 = 2014, the year of the American Godzilla).

Mecha G needs a break. He's had like, 5 movies dedicated to him? I'd rather see more new monsters. I mean, otherwise it'd be the Millennium series all over again. "HAY YOO LIKED MOTHRA AND MEKKA GUDZILLA RITE? HERE HAVE SOM MORE"

Yep,do just that. I've always liked those sort of "connections."

Wouldn't fit into the realism at all as we wouldn't be able to develop that type of machine unless the sequel went about 20 years into the future. That and mechaGodzilla is an already overused enemy if they bring some1 back from the old series it needs to be a less used foe.

Eh, maybe. I don't think it will happen, but yeah, it might work.

Like five seconds before posting this idea came to mind. It wasn't necessarily serious, just something that I thought about, and figured I might as well just post it here, see if it was even a decent idea.

On what basis do you believe [i]Maleficent[/i] and [i]Oz[/i] may equal or outweigh Godzilla's hype then? Sure not very many people know about it, but you could say the same for the prior mentioned movies. I'd argue that, at present, the buzz surrounding Godzilla is still much larger than those two combined. Take a look: [url=http://www.zennie62blog.com/2013/10/10/godzilla-2014-trailer-leak-pushes-godzilla-2014-search-to-highest-levels-to-date-45525/]This Site[/url] shows how the leaked trailer projected Google search interest in Godzilla. If you do the same research for the Oz flick or [i]Maleficent[/i], they're not even close to the spike Godzilla had earlier this month. Meanwhile if you type in "Maleficent" into the [b]Google News[/b] you'll roughly 3 thousand hits. If you type in "Godzilla 2014," over 5 thousand hits. But most people won't be typing that, they'd simply search "Godzilla" in which you get [u]10 thousand hits[/u]. Keep in mind these aren't webpages, their news outlets covering the films. I agree that they're all on vaguely even ground at the moment, but long term that may not be the case. I've already explained my case for [i]Oz[/i] and [i]Maleficent[/i] on various levels and while I concede that [i]Spider-Man[/i] and [i]X-Men[/i] may be a so-called "threat" the idea that they'll completely topple [i]Godzilla[/i] (especially Spider-Man) is currently unfounded.

Thank you! Really! I don't write stories often but this was fun so it's good to hear good feedback. I'm thinking of posting a few more of other's people that witnessed the same event. I think I want the characters to have all had some form of contact with each other. Like the next one would be the guy who delivered the take out for this character etc...

Its okay, I mean, did you think of this right off the bat or were you thinking about this for a while. Its good for a start.

@BCrockett94 I know it does sound like Final Wars, i am with you on that. Although, the monsters were released off of Monster island and all the kaiju attacked. Godzilla attacked New York City, Rodan attacked Moscow, Mothra lays waste to Beijing, Gorosaurus attacks Paris, and Manda attacks London. I know I should have made the discussion specific, I made this right before I left school! If I make another discussion, I will try to make it better and make sure no one has made the same one already. Sorry for the rush.

and even should Gareth/Legendary produce such a movie they definitely need to make at least 1 or 2 sequels before it just so the series can bring about the appearances of a few more monsters and build up the story to the point of a Destroy All Monsters-esk sequel.

This new Godzilla made by the Legendary is confirmed to be the biggest Godzilla at least up to the 2014 movie. So , how BIG will this Godzilla be in this ? What I can see in that trailer is that this new Godzilla will be at least up to ~ well I\\\'m not really sure , but that looks like this New G \\\'s size will be at least over 1000\\\' . And I have a theory that maybe our New G we saw in the trailer has not yet reached his/her full size or maybe he/she is just a preschool age Godzilla , that means our New G will still grow a lot much much more BIGGER.

I don't really feel Godzilla's hype outweighs that of Maleficent, or the OZ movie. Sure it's big here, but a lot of these fans have been following the movie since it was Godzilla 3d to the MAX. To the average person I doubt they know much about the movie if anything at all. The only real people that know are G fans, and comic con attendants. There's been nothing revealed to the public and the teaser that was leaked was taken away in the span of a few days so most people still haven't seen it unless actively looking. In hype alone the only movie that has a teaser out so far is spiderman so they all are on pretty even ground after that.

It might not do as well as everything else on opening weekend, but I feel it's going to do good overall, kind of like Avatar, but probably not as much money (2.7 billion dollars is a pretty tough to beat number), I'd be willing to bet that Godzilla gets at least 400 million opening day, warranting a sequel (as it'd more than double the budget of 150 million dollars), but that's just a prediction. I don't think we're gonna see Godzilla annihilate the box office competition, but we'll get a sequel for sure... Even if the movie is gonna be like Pacific Rim. I don't expect Kaiju films to be the new, big thing in Hollywood until people get bored of Superhero films.

Wraith, it was test footage. They just wanted to get people excited for the movie, but they didn't start filming when they released the test footage at San Diego Comic Con 2012. That footage was edited to display a different looking creature, which people describe as being grey, and looking like one of the bugs from Starship Troopers and the cloverfield monster in one.

Gareth Edward had only implied that he might consider a Monster Island movie. He never said anything about it being a sure thing, or even something that would be truly taken into consideration. This has been a topic discussion several times, and we've already concluded that it was simply something the director would take into consideration. Also, regarding your list... 1. .... 2. This is beginning to sound like Final Wars. 3. Yep, definitely Final Wars. 4. You do mean antagonists... Right? Right? Are humans and Godzilla the bad guys in your ideal movie? It would be impossible to portray the Monster Island movies with any realism. The 2014 movie's goal of being realistic is already going to be hard enough to suspend our beliefs, asking us to turn off our brain that much for a realistic Monster Island movie is asking for way too much. Ghidorah, any of them (King, Keizer, Des) have not been loaned to Legendary, as such, assuming Ghidorah makes an appearance is a extremely hopeful at best, at this current time. If you want to see a more modern version of Destroy All Monsters, just go watch Final Wars. It was a decent enough film that highly resembled what Destroy All Monsters was, besides a few elements. That being said, the next movie (should one be made) will probably involve one of the monsters (maybe the eight legged smaller muto(s)) from the 2014 movie and a maybe one or two new monsters that are Legendary creations. I don't like the idea of them using any of Toho's monsters in a REBOOT. They asked to use Godzilla, fine, but I like some degree of originality from reboots, but doesn't stray TOO far from the source material (picky picky, us Godzilla fans are).
