I hope the novel keeps a nice balance. Giving us some new info to be hyped on, but not revealing everything as to destroy our interest.

I just hope they clearly connect the prequel graphic novel to the movie.

I've had enough of getting "not objectively canon" thrown in my face.

Yes. Can't wait. Nothing like a little prequel comic to get us hyped up.

I was really hoping they would do this seeing that they hooked us up with a Godzilla graphic novel last film. Hope they continue the tradition with Godzilla vs Kong! 

Honestly I kind of hope these issues will focus on the various monsters that appear in the film like the story of how King Ghidorah got into its icy prison

While it sounds cool, I have a bad feeling this will be doing the same thing Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom did, in that while we may know what happened thanks to the website and novel (and other promotional material), the general audience will not know what happened before the film, leaving them lost, confused, disappointed, and maybe even angry at the film for leaving "plot holes" in it. I'm sorry, but I feel that I may be right about this.

Both look so cool. Nice job to Jackson.

I think I had similar sentiments when I wrote a review for this a few years ago. I know it has faults and definitely isn't one of the best, but I put it in the upper middle.

ah okay

I don't think any mention of a prior film would have improved the overall story. In fact most connections the Heisei films make to prior movies don't really effect the overall story. Most could be left out.

What sucked about this film for me was that it made no mention to the movie prior to this one (Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah), so when I watched it, I thought it wasn't canon to the Heisei Era. If they made at least one mention of what happened in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah instead of saving it for the following film, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, it would have probably been more note-worthy and would have made more sense than that one cameo in Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla. But other than that and Battra's quick introduction transformation, and death, this movie was okay, but it felt like filler. Sorry, but that's just me.

I recall seeing the movie and I overall enjoyed it, mostly the music. I loved the moment when Mothra emerged from her cocoon. But I disliked that Battra transformed so abruptly and didn't have a unique sound effect. Nice job with the commentary!

That is just how I would interpret Manda. The kaiju could be changed slightly to fit a separate story, or the story to fit the kaiju. Just depends how you want to portray Mothra, Manda, etc.

Chapter 3: Dawn of the Cenozoic

Paleogene Period, Paleocene

The surface world has since recovered from the meteor storms, mighty skeletons dotted the landscape. They weren't dinosaurs, at least not anymore... Ghidorahs; however the great King Ghidorah wasn't among them. The swamps of the paleocene were slowing claiming the Ghidorah's remains. A giant shadow soared over the ghidorah's remains. It then perched its self on the moss infested rib cage, a giant white moth with vibrant colored wings overlooked the recovering surface world. In modern times, her kind will be called Monsura or Mothra. Her kind evolved during the Early Cretaceous period down below in the hollow world, feeding on specialized radioactive plant matter that allowed her kind to grow to enormous sizes. 

A familiar roar bellowed from the swampy coastline, a large yellow godzillasaurid bursts out of the water. Its spines were maple leaf-shaped, it had short powerful legs and appears to have developed a pair of gills. Its head retain the Zilla look of past Godzillasauroids. Its eyes stared down coldly into the water, a giant fish that escaped from the hollow world swims past the yellow godzillasaurid. Its spines begin to light up from the tip of his tail and like dominoes the other spines begin to light up until the last spine lights up at the back of its head, Paleocenogojiras "Ancient Recent God Incarnate" spits out a jet of atomic energy on to the Megafish. The fish bolted away after getting hit, unfortunately for it, it soon floated upside down. Palegoji growled triumphantly, he soon took a large bite out of the fish and unlike his ancestors, he gets to enjoy the whole thing to himself. The Ancient Mothra cried disapprovingly of the recklessness of the Paleocenogojiras. The yellow godzillasaurid looked back at the kaiju moth, snorted, then retreated back into the ocean. Paleogoji swam down deep into the dark recesses of the ocean, its eyes spotted an eerie glowing light; the hollow world's entrance. It passes through the thick bioluminescent cloud, navigated through the maze of sharp rock and tight spaces until it reached the under-oceans of the hollow world. There a school of megafishes fleed from the godzillasaurid, Paleogoji bolted to the surface. Water shoots out from his nose like a whale.

On the coastline, a pair of small godzillasaurids were scavenging on megahadrosaurid carcass. Dracosaurs dotted the sky along with the Pterorodanids "Rodan Wing" massive pterosaurs descendants of the late Pteranodon. Large caterpillars stalk the forest, feeding on fallen logs. Megaspinosaurus "Big Spined Reptile" patrol the coastal waters, while Megalodontosaurus "Big Toothed Reptile" hunted solely in the forest alongside Gigatyrannus "Giant Tyrant". 

Paleogene Period, Eocene

Large lepidosaurian reptiles began to take dominance in the more arid parts of the hollow world. Eocalvarepere "Dawn skull crawler", were one of these large lizards; a terrestrial mosasaurid. A foot came down, Erectogojiras "Upright God Incarnate" bared his teeth at the land mosasaurid. The smaller primitive skull crawler turned to squawk, the larger godzillasaurid resembled zilla in terms of body plan but with a more upright torso, its tail now drags on the ground, its head resembles more like  Monsterverse Godzilla but retains the yellow coloration of its ancestor. Eregoji bellows at the small lizards, the primitive skull crawlers hiss in return. A skull crawler propelled itself into the air using its long whip-like tail, its mouth wide open. Eregoji grab the skull crawler by the jaws and wrestles with it to the ground. The other skull crawlers fall suite, Eregoji manages to tail swap one away, but the other lands on eregoji's back. Eregoji begins to charge up his atomic breath weapon, the intense heat of the spines glowing causes the skull crawler on eregoji's back to leap off. Eregoji blasts the fleeing skull crawler away, snaps the skull crawler in his grasps's neck, while the skull crawler that was swapped away had already burrowed away.

Okay the familiar cry were Mothra's species

it was meant to stay as speculation for now. Also I would like to mention the japanese tyrannosaurid, carcharodontosaurid, and spinosaurid are fictional. However there are scant evidence that tyrannosaurids and spinosaurids did exist on japan during the late cretaceous, i just gave them a really cool name.

Question. What was the familiar cry Ghidorah heard, or is it just meant to stay as speculation?

1. Were those "leaked" design images of Rodan and Ghidorah real or fake?

2. Do they ever refer to Ghidorah as "Ghidorah" or just Monster Zero?

Thanks again!

K-Pg Extinction

Its been a year since the meteor storm. The skies had since dark with dust chocking out the last bit of sunlight. Plants withered and died, herbivores slowly starved to death. Carnivores desperately cling on to survive but the world has been growing ever colder. Eogoji and her pack huddled around a deep river, a school coelacanth is spotted, Eogoji swoops the fish out of the water. It slaps around on the ground before Eogoji ate it. Her mate swoops another coelacanth out of the water; a long head bursts out of the water. Its conical teeth stab into the Eogodzillasaurus'es forearm, the head jerks back to pull its prey closer. Eogoji leaped into the water, then left a gash on the spinosaurid's face. The Palatinotyrannus released the Eogodzillasaurus from its jaws as it yelps in pain, then its sail bursts out of the water as the creature arose from the river. It bellowed like an angry crocodile as it approaches the pack. Another distant roar could be heard, a Fukuityrannus could heard stomping through the dead forest. Then came another roar, Paleogorosaurus, a carcharodontosaurid; it too was drawn to the commotion. 

Eogoji barked at her pack to take formation, each of them turned to face the hungry predators. Then a bright light blazed across the sky, but it was unlike any light the theropods have ever saw. It was burning like a meteor but it wasn't a meteor, it was much worse. The flames took the shape of a three headed dragon, it was King Ghidorah. His ancestors originated from this planet but somewhere around the early cretaceous, a race of aliens captured several of his kind and genetically engineered them into something more. King Ghidorah with all three of his heads stared down at the puny theropods, they were no more than fleas to him, Ghidorah breathed out a chain of lightning towards the earth. Eogoji quickly hissed at her pack to retreat, the Paleogorosaurus attempted to attack one of the godzillasaurids but ended up in the jaws of the Palatinotyrannus. The Fukuityrannus, desperately hungry ignored the fleeing Eogodzillasauruses and charged towards the spinosaurid and carcharodontosaurid.

Eogoji turned her head back and saw the mighty theropods destroyed by Ghirdoah's attack. King Ghidorah giggled at the chard theropods' remains. He turned his attention to the Godzillasaurids, he folds his wings to accelerate. King Ghidorah opened his wings, he stretched his large talons on to the frozen floor. The Eogodzillasauruses were all gone; All of ghirdoah's heads lowered, sniffing and prodding their snouts into the frost covered floor. Then came a familiar cry, ghirdoah's middle head glances up at the dust filled sky and their he saw his nemesis... Ghirdorah retreated to the skies. Feeling the threat passed, Eogoji unburied herself, she turned to her pack to signal them to follow. Its been more than a week since Ghidorah's attack and the eogodzillasauruses were growing ever so hungry, the pack were occasionally attacking each other but Eogoji kept them in line for as long as she could; until the next time.

Two eogodzillasaurus began to start up another attack, they first started out with nipping which then escalated into biting and scratching. The two hurdled themselves down a hill slope, one was on top of the other ready to slice his claws into the other's belly, Eogoji snapped her jaws at the fighting two as she made her away down the slope with the others. That is when they saw it, the fighting pair turned their gazes over to a massive cavern, a scent permeated the cavern's edge. It smelled like fresh pines, where there are pines there are trees, and where there are trees.... there are herbivores. Eogoji lead her pack deep down into the hallow earth, the entrance began to close behind, sealing the pack in for good. Eogoji and her pack don't seem to notice as they are drawn further down into the cavern by the planty scent. They stumbled in a chamber so vast it almost looked like it could be outside, a thick fog blanketed the ceiling infested with light producing bacteria. A Nipponosaurus herd were seen grazing on the ferns next to a great lake, Eogoji cooed, however it seemed several other their natural nemesis have also found this "paradise"; Paleogorosaurus, Palatinotyrannus, and Fukuityrannus were also seen at the lake, but so was another pack of Eogodzillasauruses; insuring the survival of the godzillasaurids family.

Yes Godzillasaurids are going to be feature during the K-T (now called the K-Pg extinction since the tertiary was broken into the Paleogene and Neogene) extinction and how they survived it.

Just asking. Is there going to be a whole chapter dedicated to what the godzillasaurids do during the K-T extinction, or is it going to be brushed over in the same way Walking with Dinosaurs did?

Late Cretaceous

Eogodzillasaurus, the first member of the godzillasauridae family evolves from the successful Spinogojiri tribe of godzillasauroids. Eogodzillasaurus looks very much like later godzillasaurid Zilla save for a slender lower jaw and its overall body size matches the size of Tyrannosaurus rex. Eogodzillasaurus as well as other basal godzillasaurids were the dominate predators of what will become Japan. Very few Megaraptorans and Spinosaurids were left on the japanese peninsula. All that remains of these old kings are the Palatinotyrannus titanus "Titanic Imperial Tyrant", the largest and greatest spinosaurid that ever lived and Fukuityrannus toho "Toho's Tyrant of Fuku" a large tyrannosaurid that was mistakenly believed to be the ancestor of Godzilla.

Eogoji was hiding behind a lone large rock standing erect on a hill top. A herd of Nipponosauruses were grazing on the many ferns that dotted the ground. Eogoji turned her gaze, another Eogodzillasaurus was hiding behind a large tree just down the hill slope. She grunted at the other Eogodzillasaurus, he moved over from behind the tree with some others. Eogoji turned her head back to the Nipponosaurs as her pack were preparing for an ambush. The Eogodzillasauruses bolted towards the hadrosaurids, driving the nipponosaurses away from the forest then corralling them back towards the wooded hills. The frighten hadrosaurids stampeded up the hill slope towards the lone rock, like a wave departing around a small island, the herd splinted into two herds. Eogoji tore into a passing -by nipponosauruses, its cries were drowned out from the fleeing herd as they stomped away. The other Eogodzillasauruses catch up to their pack leader, Eogoji growled at her companions; to remind them of their place in the hierarchy. She ate her fill before laying down to rest under a tree, her pack ate well this night.

The next morning, all that was left of the nipponosaurus was blood drenched bones and scant remains of flesh that the eogodzillasauruses couldn't either reach or cared to finish. A loud roar was heard from below the hill, a Fukuityrannus was spotted by the godzillasaurids, it was drawn by the smell of fresh carrion. The Eogodzillasauruses abandoned the nipponosaur carcass knowing full well not to tangle with a hungry tyrannosaurid. As they traverse down the opposite of the hill, Eogoji turned her gaze back to the carcass; the Fukuityrannus's jaws crushed the thick rib bones of the dead hadrosaurid to get to the bone marrow. 

Later that night as the eogodzillasauruses were fast a sleep, the stars in the night sky glistened against the black background. Eogoji awakened for a moment to check on her pack's well being. She saw they were all breathing, feeling reassured she laid her head down. The night sky seemed so tranquil, then some of the stars began to fall. Many shooted across the night sky, until one landed close, lighting up the night sky. Then came a thunderous roar, as the ground shook.

also doesn't the mothman terrorize people?

Wait wouldn't manda be a lake monster from japan?

They took Godzilla ps3/4 downloads off the PlayStation store. Why would that do that? Ps4 Godzilla game rules! 2015 Namco did one of the best Godzilla products ever! At least the disc is easy to find and they did a sequel called "Godzilla vs. " Namco needs to go back to the P4 and just give us the planet to raid with no boundaries.

Nice idea. Some may need to be altered to fit the kaiju, but it's still a cool concept none the less.

^None. But around a certain May date next year would be pretty ideal.

Any idea when Criterion will release the Godzilla movies on Blu-ray? 

I became a Godzilla fan when I first watched Godzilla Power Hour, then about months or maybe a year later I rented Godzilla vs Monster Zero. I think I was 6 or 7 around this time, then came 1998 and I became a huge fan of Zilla, because I'm a huge Jurassic Park fan. Then around 2004-2005 my uncle sent us his Godzilla movie collection so me and my brother started watching them, we got all the way up to Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters.

Then I rewatched Godzilla 1998, While i'm still a huge fan of Zilla. I didn't really like the overall story of the movie, well anyways.... In 2014, me and my brother restarted our Godzilla marathon in conjuncture to the release of Legendary's Godzilla. We finished the marathon and boy, I love Godzilla 2014. Been a full fledged Godzilla fan ever since.

Thanks for the hospitality, I truly appreciate it.

Noice

Welcome to the forums! Thanks for sharing what made you a fan. Also, sweet profile pic!

In about 2008, I remember watching Godzilla Final Wars. The action, the diverse roster of monsters, godzilla himself, all of it was amazing. Ever since then I have read a bunch of books about the history about the making of godzilla, and watched most of the movies. But, the monsters are definitely the reason I love the godzilla franchise so much. Their sheer power and size was captivating, and I can't wait to see what new monsters appear in 2019.

THANKS

1. Doesn’t really have a role. Just escapes and begins her transformation.

2. The device causes Ghidorah and Rodan to escape. They don’t really control them, it just guides them where to go. For example, in the final battle, Vera uses the device to distract Ghidorah from Godzilla and he starts following her.

What roles does the mothra larva have, or only appears for showing her grow? 

Are the monsters being controlled or what role does the new bioacoustics control system, declared in Vera’s interview, plays?

Thanks for the answers!

1. Involved; Vera Farmiga’s character

2. Vera calls Monarch via video message to reveal her real motives. Kyle Chandler is her ex-husband and that’s why he said that.

3. Mothra doesn’t. She has sharp legs and possibly a stinger. I am not entirely sure if Rodan has a beam or not. Only the Redditor told me he has a sort of fire beam/attack, but only him. So I am not sure

4. Bomb detonated on him by Serizawa

5. Sally Hawkins: Eaten by one of Ghidorah’s heads in Antarctica 

    Serizawa: Sacrifices himself to help Godzilla by manually detonating bomb

    Vera Farmiga: Chased by Ghidorah and then injured when he shoots the beam at her; Ghidorah looks at her still (she’s still alive), but then Godzilla releases nuclear pulses. Presumably she got killed. 

6. Serizawa’s detonation of the bomb

Thanks for responding! Sorry I have some more questions if you can answer them, thanks for sharing.

1. The woman speaking at the beginning of the new trailer.  She is the leader or involved with terrorists that release Ghidorah? If not, who?

2. The quotes in the trailer "You are out of your god damn mind!" and "I'm sorry this is the only way". What is the context?

3. Do Mothra or Rodan have ranged attack? Such as spewing fire or firing energy beams? Or do they solely rely on their claws and such?

 4. What causes Godzilla to become super-charged? (His eyes and dorsal spines glowing blue)

5. Which human characters die? How do they die?

6. The trailer shows a MASSIVE explosion (the time stamp is 1:50), what causes it?
