Not really a Zilla fan TBH - too many kaiju running around is asking a bit too much of my suspension of disbelief, especially with the 2014 Zilla dwarfing most of the largest Dinosaurs.

Considering its size and likely lifespan It wouldn't surprise me if Zilla was asexual, giving birth to a sole live offspring (no eggs) - making Zilla neither mammal nor reptile, fitting in with its depiction as a 'Titan.'

Would be nice to see a Gappa rip off where Godzilla married Ma ma Gorgo as long as they don't kill off any Zillas. Any of the Godzillas could be female.

Fantastic work Ben! Nice job. I too am looking forward to the rest of your interviews! :)

I can promise you that the interview I hhad with Alan Maxson will be the interview everyone will eat alive. We covered pretty much everything about the movie for next year, but unfortunately, I can not publish the article until after the movie releases next year.

Another great chapter, SFK.

This (and the previous topics) should be placed on the website in a fasihion similar to how KaijuWorld's How to include Toho Monsters into the Monsterverse forum series is placed so that people can know what the story is about from beginning to end. Other than tht, it's a nice chapter, so keep up the good work.

By the way, have you read Xenotaris' Gojiverse forum yet? It's awesome in my opinion, and it's really interesting. (Plus me and him are the only ones commenting on that forum, so it would be nice to have everyone else [including Chris and yourself] read the forum and leave their opinions [and some helpful criticism] on the forum for Xenotaris.)

Other than that, thanks for reading.

New topic for the last few chapters. Topics can only be so long.

This was awesome. Can't wait for the next three interviews. So exciting.

Nice chapters. Can't wait for the section(s) dedicated to the Pleistocene (the time of the Ice Age and the appearance of man).

Neogene Period: Pliocene

Kaiju Insects and other arthropods began to become more widespread through out the hallow world. However the Mothras are dwindling in number, now having to compete with the Battras for food and shelter. Megalons prowl the ocean floors as well as coastlines where basal godzillasaurids and megaspinosaurids once flourished. Ebirahs becoming ever so bolder to venture on to land to steal carrion from other scavengers. Giant Spiders known as Kumonga and Mother Longlegs as well as giant predatory insects like the Kamacuras, meganulon, meganula, and megaguirus have quickly replaced or drove out most of the surviving theropod dinosaurs out of the tropical regions. Skullcrawlers were steadily becoming bigger and much more agile but were still restricted to deserts.

New animals from the surface began retreating to the hollow world. Most of them are picked off by the occasional theropod dinosaur, predatory arthropod, and sometimes by river dwelling cephalopods like the Mire Squid and Gezora. Among these mammals that survived are the ancestors of the Sker Buffalo, the Kongs, the Icarus Tiger, and the Ceasars.

Vindexgodzillasaurus gareth evolved from Paleovindexgodzillasaurus, more robust than its miocene ancestor. A genus of skull crawlers slowly leave the desolate deserts of the hallow earth, feeding on the eggs of the kaiju arthropods. Garethgoji walks among the kaiju-sized redwood trees of the northern regions, the hallow world's background radiation energizes and nourishes the many kaiju animals and plant species. Paleokong gigas were tyrannosaurus sized gorilla-like ancestors to the Kongs, their natural enemy are the armored tyrannosauriod Vastosauruses. The basal kong and his rival predators were frighten away by Garethgoji's lumbering stroll through the kaiju forest. 

Two Godzillasaurus proteus commence a shouting match between themselves, their shouting matches escalated into the two igniting their atomic fire breath. They keep at it until the loser is knocked backwards. The victor roars triumphantly as the loser retreats back into the forest. 

Super jealous dopepope! But what a phenomenal experience!

Paleogene Period: Oligocene

Much of the world has changed on the surface. Elephant-like creatures began to dominate Africa then spread into Asia while many other interesting mammal groups went extinct due to the spread of grasslands.

The world down below was in turn changed as well, volcanic rivers of molten lava destroyed many of the habitats that dot the many fault-lines of the surface world; many of them existed since the Jurassic. This change lead to the decedents of the Erectogojiras to have split into two new lineages, the strange Anomalogojiras "Strange God Incarnate" which has developed not only a metamorphosis life-cycle akin to amphibians but has also evolved away much of its body density allowing it to grow much bigger when it reaches adult hood and has developed a jaw structure similar to snakes, allowing to grab a whole of larger prey. The other was Teratogojira winstonsis "Stan Winston's Monster God Incarnate"; in appearance it resembled canceled 1994 american godzilla.

The two godzillasaurus lived apart from each other in their own separate biomes, only meeting on occasions when crossing the coastline. Anomalogojira was unique for its species among many other strange traits, it was known to hunt other godzillas but more specifically it hunted basal members of the godzillasaurids, driving most of them to extinction; only the genus Parazillasaurus survived its onslaught by migrating further to the polar regions of the hallow world. While the more land based Teratogojiras prowled the land for kaiju herbivores.

Teragoji rose from his slumber when he smelled blood, he slowly climbed down from the hill to the black sand beaches. There was the laid the carcass of basal godzillasaurid Coelogojira "Hollow God Incarnate" it was similar to Zilla but fatter and with webbed claws. Now all that's left of it was its spine and a partially eaten skull. Teragoji sniffed the carcass, it's been freshly killed, a blood trail leads back into the water. Where maple leaf-shaped spines retract underwater...

A school of fish darted away as something big was approaching them. A giant both filled with misshapen and ingrowing teeth charge at the fishes. The swarm of fish began to dart apart but the jaws spread further open and like a pelican it scooped up the fish; the beast closes its jaws closed. The water sends vibrations as Teragoji prowls on the shorebanks, Anomalogoji makes a u-turn back to the beaches. Its maple-leaf spikes stab through the water surface, the rest of the beast bursts out of the water like a crocodile before slowly rising on its hind legs, it resembled shin godzilla's first form but with fully developed front limbs. It hissed before dropping back down on all fours, its spines began to glow simultaneously, its mouth opens then its lower jaw widens before rising its head up to fire its atomic breath at Teragoji. 

Teragoji hissed, forearm bleeding from the burns. The land godzilla began to charge up his spines for a counter-attack, Teragoji unleashes his atomic breath back at the strange water godzilla. Anomalogoji's skin catches on fire, flesh splitted open, the water godzilla attempts to retreat but Teragoji grabs it by the tail and drags the beast out of the water to finish it off with another atomic blast to the face.

Neogene Period: Miocene 

Teratogojiras have out competed the Anomalogojiras on both dryland, coastline, and shallow seas; driving the highly derived godzillasaurid into deeper water. Allowing Teratogojiras's decedents to further diversify; Paleovindexgodzillasaurus evolved from one of these godzillas. However unlike its close relative the Godzillasaurus, it preferred the deep ocean of the hallow world, where it hunted deep ocean kaiju arthropods. Anomalogiras still thrived in the open oceans, they generally ignore the deep sea Vindexgodzillasaurus since they hunt different prey.

There laying at the bottom of the hallow world's oceans was Vindex, an adolescent Paleovindexgodzillasaurus. His kind have taken over the bottom of the oceans since they have re-evolved gills. He hunts for a species of kaiju lobster, called Ebirah. Vindex carefully eyes the Ebirah, any sudden movements would undoubtedly frighten the smaller kaiju away. Vindex slowly opens his jaws before suddenly snapping them closed, the Ebirah quickly darts away as another kaiju darted through the water an attacked Vindex. Vindex was being constricted by an aquatic dracosaur called Eomanda, the ancestor of Manda; they aren't typical a threat to Paleovindexgodzillasauruses but since Vindex is barely a subadult, the manda wants him to be her next meal. The Eomanda targets Vindex's gills, but Vindex manages swipe at her snout before her bites connect.

They struggle for hours before Eomanda releases her constriction then swiftly swims to the surface, Vindex lands softly on the hallow ocean floor before he to must come up for air. Manda's head bursts of the water, she inhaled as much oxygen her lungs could carry. A Paleorodan gigas skims their enormous beak across the hallow ocean, snapping the snake-like Manda in their beak. By the time Vindex came up for air, both Paleorodan and Eomanda were gone.

Yeah i'm still doing this. I've been a little busy too. 

1) Well the godzillasaurids have branched into many new niches. The pack hunter Godzillasaurids are going to eventually lead to Zilla's kind. While most godzillsaurids that are closer to the classic godzillas are going to be solitary predators with the exception of the showa godzilla.

2) Its okay. I'll be geting back into writing a new chapter.

Hey, man. I'm still interested in this. (In fact, I'm beginning to think I'm the only one interested in this.) But two things:

1) Why did you decide to have the Godzillasaurids be pack hunters in the Late Cretaceous when before they were (and after the Late Cretaceous chapter, they became again) lone predators?

2) Are you still working on this? I'm interested to see how this goes. And my interest in this hasn't dwindled at all. I've just been too busy irl. So, sorry about that.

That is all I need to say. Thanks for listening.

I guess now's the time to speculate on why, and I think it's either for 'new' footage of a perspective of that scene in 2014 (aka Godzilla's first appearance) or some sort of new look for Skull Island. But if I'm really honest, I'm wondering how this might affect filming for Jurassic World 3 (if filming for this movie takes until 2019). Other than that, sounds awesome.

And after the long work days, I got to hang out with one of the best Godzilla artists I know, Lenny Romero. Go check out his 'Lenzational' artwork:

Lenzations Etsy Shop

And if that weren't enough awesome for one show, along came Michael Dougherty, director of Godzilla 2. He's a true fan of the genre, the characters, the monsters, and everything that we all love about it. I was super happy to chat with him. He made my day. 

Here's T J Storm, GODZILLA HIMSELF, mocap actor in both the first and second films. Another amazing person to interact with. He also signed my artwork of Godzilla. 

I mean, isn't he listed as bio-electric? He's probably easier to get a readout on than others. Even the Showa King Ghidorah was shown multiple times producing extreme amounts of heat from its body.

Yeah, he has been frozen....... but his vitals are clearly still intact.

As an animal, his thermal signature will remain different than that of his surroundings, even if he were cold-blooded; there's no reason to believe he would be, ESPECIALLY since he'll awakening in Antarctica.

As for the weather patterns, predictions based on his extrapolated biological features can be drawn up.

What’s I want to understand is How they got a thermal image  and weather readout of An awake Ghidorah but claim he’s been frozen.

Jaysus firetrucking Mr. Christie, he's somehow EVEN MORE OF A MONSTER THAN GODZILLA.

^you make a point. Plus the official synopsis says that the war moves to a higher dimension. I'm also finding websites referring to Ghidorah as the God of the Void in the anime. Like I said, I'm willing to give it a chance. It'll hold me over until G:KotM

The poster is only showing Ghidorah's necks peeking through what look like wormholes or portals. He's so massive that just his necks poking through portals dwarf Godzilla Earth. He most likely inhabits a higher dimension, and those portals are how he enters our plane and fights Godzilla. A short brochure for the film distributed in theaters in Japan shows a silhouette of what looks like Ghidorah's full body, and it appears to have wings and two tails. It's entirely possible this Ghidorah still has the character's classic body shape, we're just only seeing his necks and heads.

I expected it for this. Not surprising if this is the same rating used for Godzilla vs. Kong in 2020.

As long as they push the PG-13 rating like they did with the last two films, I think we're in for some monster goodness. Seriously, look at some of the violent scenes in those films; they're actually quite brutal upon further inspection.

In the first movie, the female MUTO gets DECAPITATED; you can even see a bit of her spinal cord and spurting blood from the stump if you brighten the scene up.

In the second movie, we of course have the Mother Longlegs killing that one soldier pretty brutally, along with Kong RIPPING THE GUTS outta the Big One.

Nice. I think PG-13 is an appropriate rating for any Godzilla movie

Was kind of expecting that

Great topic, these live tweet watch-a-alongs are great. We should organize more of these and see how many more fans we can get involved!

I don't know, does this Ghidorah even have a body? Is it even one being? It seems to be three separate kaiju. 

I am no fan of the Godzilla design, but it didn't break me. I thought the Severum (or whatever the hell they were called) could be interesting but then they showed up, what once? Twice? Now this? I agree with the many people who've already said it, it looks like three glowing Manda, not a King Ghidorah. Unless the actual design is far from this (though if it is, what is the point of this poster?!) I'm done with this trilogy. The only good thing that's come out of them were the novels, and we don't even have a translation for them!

But there's a problem when the character is a barely recognizable bastard. I was intrigued (And somewhat annoyed, but I swallowed my pride) by the designs and concepts presented in the anime, but they've done nothing interesting with them. They're not integrated into the characters at all. If you can even call them anything other than set pieces at that size and level of inactivity and ineffectiveness. The opposite is true of fanboys. If you just think that everything that comes out is good: you lose. Look at the alien and predator fandoms, of which I am die hard member. Quantity over quality.

I'm not sure how to respond to the design. You expect King Ghidorah to shoot Gravity Beams, not become them. It looks like Godzilla is fighting multiple Manda rather than Ghidorah. Whatever, It's anime. I've seen worse anime. I'll give it a shot. It'll at least pass the time until Godzilla King of the Monsters

Glad to see my forum post made the news so quickly! ^-^

Anyways, like many parts of the anime trilogy, this is looking to be a radical new take on an old character.

I'm conflicted about the design of Ghidorah, it looks strange to me. But new isn't automatically bad. I look forward to seeing him in action vs Godzilla.

Maybe they summon him to fight Godzilla

A mi pues porq me gustan los monstruos y porq siempre fui fanatico  espero aver godzilla king of the monsters

Have you checked out my Gojiverse?

1. Can’t quite say about Ghidorah; but Rodan’s definitely seems legit to me

2. Refered as Monster Zero up until the Mexico scene where his name is revealed via mythological texts. 

New chapter. SpaceGodzilla does some stuff.
