If that's what he was talking about, it's not your fault. It's his for not getting past the title.

Instead of requesting to have the thread locked, you might want to request a title change.

For those of you who understand what the definition of avenger is and that it is in no way exclusive to a comic fantasy series published by Marvel I thank you for your competence, but at this point I won't fight with people any longer on this site over simple matters.

But to clear things up, when I said avenger, I was not in any way referring to Marvel's avengers. I'm referring to Godzillla avenging his own kind. If anyone else finds that idiotic let me know now and I'll request that a moderator have this thread locked for obvious reasons. Thank you.

I'm thinking he didn't get past the title. He probably thought you meant 'Is Godzilla a member of the Avengers, alongside the likes of Iron Man, Captain America, and the Hulk?'.

Reading can be hard for some people.

Wonder what he found idiotic about a perfectly honest question...

imitated cranston perfectly

This is definitely ranks up there with some of the more idiotic things I've come across on this site.

I guess we well never know what the deal is with the G's are

Sweet!!!!!!

awesome drawing. nice job

I like the "gills". The things on front of his neck are overlapping scales. Past versions of Godzilla had those.

@BroJoe

Breathe? Godzilla? That's funny man! Everyone (and by everyone, I mean me of course) knows that they're most likely a nigh-vestigial feature used for rudimentary things like filtering gases from liquid mediums like water for non-essential body processes, and possibly bringing in gases for nuclear ionization into mega-charged plasma as the famed atomic breath.

And why nigh-vestigial? Well, I have a theory for that too! You see, early on in Godzilla's species' line, they did rely on things like food and air, and thus were the only known reptiles to have evolved gills that allowed indefinite travel underwater without limiting ability to breathe on land.

However, as the species grew and became more independent in terms of energy usage and reliance on outside air content, these gills were given new uses, like what I mentioned in the first paragraph. That all make sense?

As a side note, do film folks use actual "reels" anymore?  I thought that those were phased out in favor of digital video?

this is MILES better than that other failure of a movie they tried to make!

i honestly think they are gills. how else would he be able to breathe underwater?

I hope Godzilla 2014 should not die and i hope if she dies there is a another egg and i hope it is a girl because there could be a another father around

This made my day

Gills most not be a problem for Godzilla (if those are gills). Check the example of the Devonian semi-amphibians Acanthostega and Ichthyostega:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acanthostega

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthyostega

They were probably some of the largest predators of they time, they have lungs and gills.

I am not saying that Godzilla have gills, just showing that in the past, animals with this characteristics existed.

You can be right about the subject HOKMUTO and your right we may be told in the movie or maybe not but just one question: whats with all the G's where there should be an H? 

I am sticking to my theory. The second muto we havent even seen yet. It's huge and we know nothing about it. How cool would it be to have a relatively unknown MUTO fight godzilla in the end scene. Someone did bring up to me that maybe the winged MUTO godzilla fights at the airport makes it way to vegas to release it's mate. We have seen a lot of underground scenes. There ISSSS something we dont know about yet. Love it!

All im saying they could be flaps of skin or scales but we wont know until we see the movie and godzilla has always been amphibious and hipos are amphibious and they dont have gills and mannoliss you dont know what they are your just assuming 

Like i said we have to see the movie to know 

First that whats with all the G's when there should be a an H? Second what's the big deal if they are gills or not. I mean really what does this change about godzilla? This goes out to anyone who is against the idea of godzilla having gills give me one good reason why godzilla having gills is a bad thing and don't say they are a weak spot because it can't be proven till the movie comes out.

they made it even better!

IMO they are gills, besides, look at the pictures, it doesn't look like a skin anomaly or paramorphosis to me, they look like... gills. Also i don't think the spines are shrinking, it might be the angle of the camera.....

From what I've been reading from all of you I can say for certain that this thread is by far the best in my opinion. I too believe Godzilla to be both terrifying in concept and execution in most instances. I'm glad we all seem to agree that true fear is fear of the unknowable, something far beyond anything we could ever hope to understand or best for that matter. Godzilla, to me at least, represents a creature with no motivations, no qualms, and no mercy. He is a creature that only exists to cause us suffering and needs no reason for doing so. That isn't to say the he targets us, for we pose no threat to him, but it is his very existance that paints a path of destruction through all that we have wrought - as if we were nothing to him, less than nothing. He doesn't care about us and his actions are so primal, any intent is but instinct to him and so far from any human's understanding. We can't lable him as an animal with but an animal's intellect because everything that the king is becomes so far from that concept that its impossible for it to hold any merit. Godzilla is not just an animal. To us, he is pain, loss, sadness, anger, fear, and envy. We envy him, a superior being that could go on to live a thousand more years without us and not even blink at the idea of it. We could all be killed in his wake and it wouldn't even matter, he would go on with everything else as if we never existed, that is the true meaning of insignificant and that is why Godzilla is terrifying, because in comparrison to the king we are nothing more than grain of sand on the beach, and as insignificant as a fleeting memory.

And if I haven't already said it, I am loving this thread. Good talk everyone! Can't wait till May 16th ;)

yeah, i used to be scared of him when i was a little kid (around 5 or so)

Yeah, we won't know if they're gills or not until the movie comes out.

i didn't get tickets yet, but i know they are available in my location

Where'd all this hullabaloo come from?

Eitherway, I'm pretty sure the atomic breath will be pretty powerful, not as powerful as a nuke but still strong.

@KAIJUKRITIC Excellent rebuttal some people are absolutists in their way of thought and you cannot reason with or expect reasoning from them! this entire thing is fantasy anyway and many times taken way way too seriously! everyone wants to be right and discount anyone elses opinions! ive been a Godzilla fan since 1970 ive seen every movie from 1954 thru final wars! and have an extensive collection of vhs tapes and cds just like many of you have!

All we can all do is quit guessing whats going to be what in the film and simply wait untill it comes out! The way thingsare in this forum many will have to eat their words and many will becorrect!

%MCEPASTEBIN%

Can I just ask what the big deal would be if they were gills? The description on the back of the godzilla toy states that he's an amphibian like creature so one could assume that those are gills. I think they are but who cares. Will it change your oppinion on seeing the movie? 

long live the king!!!

^Lmao

But that grammar tho.

Interesting opinions. Here's my theory:

If the "Atomic Roar" figure has any accuracy to the film at all, Godzilla is going to lean foward, unhinge his jaw (yes, the atomic ray picture in Smash 3 may be accurate) and unleash a concentrated stream of blue fire. As to it's power, again, if the figure is anything to go by, it will be at least on par with what Godzilla could do in the 90s and Millenium series. Valkorin's re-evaluation that G's Atomic Ray will be the most powerful attack seen in the series would be consistent with my model of preparation. Don't know how it will turn out, but the signs are pointing to a strong atomic ray.

However, I may be way wrong. Only time will tell.

not going to lie when i started reading this i was like oh god oh god but then i saw the video and was like thank go dalso the videos epic :)

Holy run on sentance batman.

If i understand you properly, your right nobody knows if there gills and wont until the movie comes out. Even then they may not say it specifically so probably all speculation. 

I personally love the superhero movies (especially those of the Marvel Cinematic Universe) and can remember being super-excited for Avengers when I saw Captain America's post-credits scene. I also remember not being dissapointed by Avengers. However, my excitement for Avengers is a drop in the ocean compared to my excitement for Godzilla. I will be massively happy, and probably talk my family's/friend's ears off, if Godzilla turns out to be good. And all signs are pointing in that direction.
