Absolutely amazing. I wish I could see his drawing interpretation of Rodan.

You can also see a bit of her legs. Check the super high HD version of the trailer and you'll be able to see it.

The tracker and where Godzilla is located doesn't really have any significance yet. He will probably swim by Outpost 61 and that's it.

Just checked it, I think they teased us.

On monarchs website when you go to the Godzilla tracker, Godzilla is only about 10 latitude away from the ghidorah outpost. 

Where?

1950's: Godzilla '54

1960's: Mothra Vs Godzilla

1970's: N/A Not a fan of this decade at all.

1980's: The Return of Godzilla (Not much to choose from, but I've got to go with this)

1990's: Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla II

2000's: Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla/Godzilla Tokyo SOS

2010's: N/A Not a fan of Godzilla 2014 or Shin Godzilla. There's still hope...

^yup

New chapter. Giant moth battle and an introduction to the final act.

UPDATE:

My interview on Kaijuvision Radio is now live!  This was an absolute blast to do, and I couldn't be more grateful to hosts Brian and Nate for their support of/interest in the project.

Check out the episode here, and happy listening!

Holding out for Criterion.

I got them both on vudu. They are all right looking, I just don't like that they are the dubbed versions. But I am a firm believer in a little something is better than a whole lot of nothing. I got REALLY lucky a few years back and won the now oop dvds on a ebay auction. Oh man it's cheaper to do coke than to get some of these disks!!

I'm gonna go with Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monsters, but other anniversary movies are very solid as well. Final Wars seems the be the ultimate tribute, but there are many things in it that caused my "love & hate" approach towards this movie.
Favourite decade? The 60th, because I am happy to see Kaiju Resurgence in the mainstream. The hype of the 50th was basically non-existent in Poland, so I was unaware of it.

UPDATE:

A new chapter of Godzilla vs. Megalon has been completed and published!

Check it out here!

well on to the main subject, the 1 monster i would add to the monsterverse is.....

Battra

Well considering every military faction that has built a MechaGodzilla is fictional...

Mechagodzilla kind of goes against the US Military design aesthetics, the US Military have make it powerful but cheaper and much smaller mentality.

Even though it is not a monster, I would like to see a Godzilla v Marvel universe like they did in the Marvel comics #1-24 in 2006. The avengers, spiderman, agents of shield... 

Jet Jaguar, just so we can have the remix of his song.

Xenotaris I am perfectly fine with Mechagodzilla being an alien construct or being made by Monarch just not the US Military.

Remember how those huge humane riot control lasers worked out back in 2004ish? Yes, that was military. I could easily imagine the general military experimenting on things like that. Add some DARPA to the mix and there are lots of interesting things being developed.

The whole point of mechagodzilla is just absurd.

Oh come on. It is no more absurd than Mothra in space. It is cool and fun! Besides, there is more actual and applicable science to Mecha Godzilla than most other creatures:

Tiamatzilla,
Sounds like you completely missed the narrative point of the oxygen destroyer.

@kaijuworld 

Godzilla is not a lizard damn it! That was Zilla!

I am perfectly fine with Mechagodzilla being an alien construct or being made by Monarch just not the US Military.

I was kinda hoping for some new footage but oh well. Still though, this is going to be great in IMAX.

The oxygen destroyer is one of the main problems I have had with the Godzilla franchise in the past. I don't believe it could harm Godzilla. I hope they hit the monsters with the oxygen destroyer and megaton nukes and everything fails to harm the titans, they survive without a scratch. A great part of the Godzilla formula is watching fake and real weapons proven futile against him as he destroys buildings. I have written off any Godzilla Ghidorah and Rodan past deaths or wounds in my book and I hope the oxygen destroyer doesn't do shit but make Destroyah for Godzilla and King Kong to team up and fight. Seeing those two Kaiju kings kill Destroyah would be the best ending ever in 2020. Imagine Ghidorah down to battle Destroyah if in KOTM Ghidorah submitted to Godzilla to later return to help Godzilla and King Kong's team and kick Destroyah's ass!

As much as I'd personally want Mechagodzilla myself, the idea sounds a bit too much for the Monsterverse right now.

We didn't start with the absurdity for absurdity's sake, so we can't just be putting it in there without careful thought and planning.

That's why I think King Ghidorah's addition is so important: he's the first to test the waters of a different kind of absurdity. Make no mistake, giant monsters, Hollow Earth Theory, etc., are all absurd as a rule, but the presentation of certain elements has normalized certain facets of the absurdity to suspend disbelief.

So, with the golden emperor, he has a bit of the Monsterverse's current execution mixed with some extra absurdity; once he's been properly ingrained, things can be branched out. For this reason, I think it'd be best to introduce something like Hedorah or Destroyah as swarming creatures that form larger collectives; the former can even come from space like his original incarnation, to play up the weirdness of space like King Ghidorah.

I respect that you don't like Mechagodzilla, but how is the absurd within the context of the genre? this genre is made around weird and strange ideas (a lizard with atomic breath, a 3 headed dragon from space, a giant moth seen as a god, etc.).

If you think stuff like Mechagodzilla is (in your eyes) absurd, then I think you are just in the wrong genre.

"I'm just not a fan of Mechagodzilla, I think he is absurd with the context of the genre."

But Hollow Earth Theory is just fine. Got it. Check.

I'm just not a fan of Mechagodzilla, I think he is absurd with the context of the genre. I mean if you want a mechagodzila, fine just don't have the US Military make him, because that will break my willingness of suspension of disbelief.

My parents were both Marines.

You're welcome, @Mitesh D.

Probably spacegodzilla as he is Godzilla second greatest enemy and deserves a second chance.

In all seriousness, I do see the story problems with coming up with convincing ways to make a MechaGodzilla--The Heisei version was the most difficult to buy. The Millennium version had to use much of its run time to establish the exposition of bio-clones and the need for using skeletons--But it still worked.

MechaGodzilla is absurd, but the entire genre is absurd. It was built on absurdity and if you can't embrace that, there's an exit for you somewhere. It all comes down to the correct writers. Just because MechaGodzilla is hard to legitimize, doesn't mean it can't or shouldn't be done. If Toho can get away with it, so can Legendary with the right people.

The whole point of mechagodzilla is just absurd.

And the hollow earth theory, a moth God, 3 headed dragon, and volcano Pterosaur, aren't? How about a lost island surrounded by perpetual storms full of strange creatures? If you're in the ride so far and Mechagodzilla takes it over the edge you might need to re-evaluate things

Wow !!! that was quite an informative session you guys, I couldn't have possibly imagined a response like this...thisss was really nice. 

Thanks to @G. H. (Gman) , @MotherStarViras,  @MinecraftDinoKaiju ,@The Legend of Brian , for this amazing discussion.

"The only way that mechagodzilla would work, is if it was an alien construction."

Not necessarily, in my opinion.

"The whole point of mechagodzilla is just absurd."

Which is why it's awesome.

"Why the hell would the Us Military build a robot around freaking bones!"

It was explained why it was crucial to use the bones in the film. Snap to attention.

"If Drones fail, the US Military would probably either develop a MOAB pacifically for Godzilla or build a huge ass laser defense canon to vaporize Godzilla. If all that fails, the US Military would build an underground stronghold."

Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how boring all of that is. Realism = boring.

This is the Godzilla series, not Interstellar. Get over it.

The whole point of mechagodzilla is just absurd. Why the hell would the Us Military build a robot around freaking bones! That is more of a japanese thing because they worship godzilla.

Alright, to build a mechagodzilla you would need an insane amount of metal to construct everything on and inside of it, metal frame, armor plating, gears, hydraulics, the nuclear casing for the reactors, etc. The Bones would only add unnecessary weight. I mean its the reason why we don't use ankylosaurus skeletons to build our M1 Abrams.

Also again I must reiterate the US Military isn't going to spend a shit ton of money on a damn Mechagodzilla, especially if we know mechagodzilla have a terrible track record as being failures. Drones are more efficient, we know Godzilla's weak spot is his gills, so they would target his gills.

If Drones fail, the US Military would probably either develop a MOAB pacifically for Godzilla or build a huge ass laser defense canon to vaporize Godzilla. If all that fails, the US Military would build an underground stronghold.

The only way that mechagodzilla would work, is if it was an alien construction.

Also your bones don't lift you, your muscles do because bone without muscles are brittle, bone on bone tend to shatter without the between softer tissue. Without the cartilage between the joints, your bones will crack and eventually break that is why people with no cartilage or damaged cartilage need knee, elbow, or hips replacements.

Also the US Military if they ever for some reason build a mechagodzilla, it be constructed a fraction of Godzilla's size. Because that is how the US military build their defense platforms. Also the US Military would definitely go for a more humanoid robot design like the Evangelions, Mobile Suits, or the Jeagers. These are far more adaptable weapon platforms than a using a dinosaur design.

True Gman, though it'll still pull in good numbers if Black Panther and Infinity War are anything to go by. 

I agree Aladdin will be the biggest threat, though with the controversy with the casting of Naomi Scott as Jasmin and the apparent "darkening" of extras, I wouldn't be surprised if it brings in less than say Beauty and the Beast. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if it pulls in the same numbers or better. 

I'm going to guess KotM will do better than say PR: Uprising, but unfortunately, I don't think it'll do as well domestically as 2014 did. 

This pic looks awesome, and so does the merchandise. Nice.
