Holy shit!!! that is BAD ASS!!!!!!! want that!!!

you can put spoilers up you just have to have a warning in the title

But he does get along with some of the other monsters. While Godzilla may argue with Anguirus, Rodan, Mothra and King Caesar, he still gets along with them fine. Except for when the agruements reach a point of conflict. Like the daikaiju, we humans have a basic nature that demands us to compete for dominance. But if we can put that basic instict aside, we can all get along easier. All we have to do is try.

This thread should be closed simply for the awful grammar.

Listen Linkzilla. If you don't like getting responses you don't like, maybe you shouldn't start threads here. To enlighten your mind, Godzilla is based on carnivore design, got that? 

Maybe its too hard for you to understand, but in the real world, no one with any self-respect call animals with imaginary names like "daikaju". You could name it after fictional creatures but you cannot define it as a fictional creature. Smarten up will you.

MAJOR UPDATE: For those who have an aversion to mice, haven't played Counterstrike or have onset arthritis, I have listed every product and their pictures in the original post so you don't have to go through the daunting task of clicking through pages. If you guys find new stuff, InstictiveGigan or some other mod will update the original post at the top with it. If I've missed something, let me know. More to come.

@Akagi

I don't disagree that needless topics tend to go downt he crapshoot pretty quickly here. (Like this one typically would.) But the fact is the movie is coming and people need to understand there's going to be more consolidating once its released: I'm sorry, but we're not going to have a new thread for everyone's review on the movie. If anything we're gently preparing members and ourselves to organize things better as the movie comes-- regardless of how futile an attempt you believe that to be or not.

I and others have proposed some cosmetic changes that might readily prevent repeat posts and keep stickied topics immediately visible upon clicking the forums, but it's not happened yet. In the meantime we've been very lennient with things that still need to be shut down. (Case and point with this thread.)

If you like I can consolidate all the merchandise pictures to the original post so it's easily seen when you click on the merch thread and a new post in it will be updated any time a new shirt or toy is added.

The King of the Monsters one is my favorite, if only for its satirical symbolism. 

@linkman and Gman

While I'll agree slimming crap down is nice, there is a bit of 'fun policing' going on. Trying to calm a massive wave of hyper fans sharing their news and thoughts is like trying to explain religion to a squirrel.

Its a practice in futility and self righteousness at best. Sure, its nice to to knack down the damn near identical threads, but I have to agree with Linkman on the t-shirt thing. I can't see the general benefit of having every item posted on the merchandising thread because it doesn't warrant the spectacle of a title like "NEW GODZILLA SHIRT DISCOVERED".

Instead, the only inkling I have to whether or not a new product has been discovered is reading the user comment notifications on said item as I rally through all the discussions.

And useless threads tend to die out pretty quick here, regardless of being closed. I can come back here after two days of inactivity and see the same discussion raging between fans that was going the day before. If it isn't that interesting, or at lleast doesn't butthurt someone enough to warrant an argument, it seems to get thrown in the garbage rather quick, without the policing. 

You know... I had a decent response to this that I posted yesterday... but it escapes me. Good recap  of what you had though...

I'll recap as best as I can I suppose.

Indeed Kaneko is a fantastic, well-rounded director. Summer 1999 is one of his best films and I highly recommend it. He also does some great comedy and horror. I don't hold it against him for doing the romano-porn since most Japanese filmmakers, post-1980s, got their start with those which I'm pretty sure became popular during an economic depression of sorts. I'll double-check my history on that.

I had a decent Biollante reply too, but... I'm lost.

@Linkman

There are sticky threads that are easily accesable when you click on different sections of the forum. We'll ease up if you can stop posting the same stuff over and over. And make sub topics, of sub-topics, of sub-topics, of sub-topics, of sub-topics. The MUTO threads are out of control. Everytime someone has a single, minute theory there's a new thread. Merchandise/t-shirts/toys can be be isolated in one thread that's easily found and stickied in the Godzilla 2014 section. Same goes for posters.

There's still plenty of freedom and threads we let slip by that deserve to be closed. If anything, we're still being extremely lennient in places we shouldn't. If you want easily found topics and sources, the solution is simple: Stop making so many repeat topics and sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-topics of every minor thought that springs to mind and added to the clutter. (Not unlike this thread, but I can't do anything about it because, quite frankly, the OP hasn't done anything wrong. He simply doesn't understand it's not worth making anew topic over.)

Sorry clicking a couple of buttons is a vast inconvenience, but the mods have lives as well and it's easier to moderate discussion when it's consolidated and organized. Chris is hard at work to make things easier to navigate so less repeat topics happen. In the meantime the most solice I can offer is: Deal with it.

Oh wow what do ya know a thread that hasn't been closed yet...! 

Moderators, seriously... I understand you're trying to cut down on repeat threads but now all you're doing is leaving a long string of threads on the main page that no one can comment on! The thread with the possible movie leak I understand MAYBE... But the t-shirt one and some of the other ones!? Are you kidding!? We DON'T know for sure how many MUTOs or their exact specs are in the film, many of us dont have time to go digging through months of topics to see if there already exists one for a topic... We have LIVES and often many of us just look at the forum topics on the main page to see what's being talked about. So really... I rarely have this term bit STOP BEING FORUM NAZIS AND START BEING FORUM MODERATORS!!! There has been so many times when I wanted to comment on something that was closed and it's making it so I don't even look at the forums on this site anymore... Just the official news stories Chris does a wonderful job of posting. So again... cut it out. Let us talk. Direct people towards the right page but don't close off something because you want it talked about somewhere else. Moderate for negative content and that's it... Please!

ALL_AMERICAN_GODZILLA@, WHERE DID YOU GET those sshirts

It was retweeted by Max Borenstein so I'm assuming it's worthy of calling legit

ALL CREDIT GOES TO ALL_AMERICAN_GODZILLA. HE FOUND THESE, SO THANK HIM!!!

Godzilla 2014 T-shirts!!!

Once again, all credit goes to TRUE_AMERICAN_GODZILLA!!!

Old images. Fan-made images. And we already know about their design so there's no real need to have any more threads debating "types" or "appearances". 

Topic Closed

So its confirmed an official depiction of the muscles of Godzilla then?

Absolutely beautiful find! If you can post it in the Merchandising Thread, it would be great! :) That goes for everyone that wanna discuss/post your own shirts. Go to the Merchandising Thread!

Official Godzilla (2014) Merchandising Thread!

Again, trying to minimize as many threads as possible! So terribly sorry for coming off as a fun-spoiler. Once again, fantastic find! :D

A) It's fake. Anyone who actually believes there exist sites who leak entire films before their release is living a lost cause.
B) Whether it's fake or real, I am sincerely disgusted and ashamed that you would share a leak. It completely destroys the hard work and back-breaking labor Gareth and the crew are doing to give us the best Godzilla film ever. Out of all the topics I've locked, this is the first I will take pleasure in locking.

That goes for anyone else, NO LEAKS. It's a giant middle finger to the crew. 

Updated with High-rez version! :)

I'm gonna have to go with the Comic Con 2012 "Mood Piece" teaser.  The images of that trailer, the music, and the narration have been seared into my brain, and that shot of Godzilla emerging from the smoke... good God, it STILL gives me goosebumps!  It was my first glimpse at not only Godzilla, but the tone the film was going for.  I was in shock during the whole first viewing, and when Godzilla turned his head and roared, I literally lost my mind!  I kept the YouTube video minimized on my phone in my glove compartment during work, and by some miracle I was able to watch it HOURS after it had been pulled from YouTube!  I watched it as many times as I could before my phone's outdated YouTube app finally accepted reality and no longer showed the video.  But I had taken screenshots of pretty much every frame and eventually found it again on Vimeo, and even went as far as to film my mom's iPhone playing the trailer with MY iPhone so I could have ANY way of seeing it whenever I wanted!  Now I have a high quality copy saved forever on my computer! :)

So yeah, that one is my favorite!  But the second international trailer and official trailer are just about tied for second place! :D

@Daikaiju_Danielle:

My pleasure!  From the moment I heard about this, I knew I had to help it become a reality in any way I could.  I've pledged some money, and I thought this site would be the perfect place to spread the word.  I want to see this happen in the worst way!  I wish more people had seen this post before it got buried by other posts. :(

@Gman:

Amen!  Like I said before, ANY amount will help!  And there are some sick rewards for serious backers!  As of today, they are officially OVER half way there!  15 days left, and they still need help!  I pray this is funded! :)

It's fake. 

99.9% of all those 'take a survey to watch' sites are all fake. 

Ya it's not working for me either... I wish it were true...

Oh look, guess who was right. Me. 

The link isn't giving me anything.  This is seriously odd though.  Sounds fishy.  Isn't the film still in the final stages of post production?  Maybe an incomplete version leaked out!  I'm not sure I'm buying it.

because my king we are humans our basic goal is to hate eatch other

@GHUNTER,

Thank you sooooo much!!!

i think he means that is godzilla so big you could see him anywhere in a city right

I like the Millenium look of the Big G, particularly in Godzilla 2000, Mechagodzilla and Tokyo SOS. Especially his sharper spikes, gives him more of an menacing look.

Although for my absolute favorite, I will say the Heisei-era design in vs Destroyah, with Godzilla glowing and giving off steam, that looked awesome.

I think Godzilla vs King Kong was the first G film I saw. I think I was around 7, maybe 8 years old then. And it totally blew me away at that age. So that is what got me interested in the Big G. 

There is also something else. I can't really explain it in a rational way, but there is just something about a giant monster stomping on a city that appeals to me. And Godzilla's design was...just cool. Reminded me of a T Rex and Alligator (It didn't hurt that I do kinda like alligators). And when he unleashes his atomic breath, I just love the explosions.

Years later when I finally saw the original G film, I was struck but well the film was, not just as a Kaiju film, but simply as a good film, period. And Honda, while best known for his Kaiju flicks, was also well known as an assitant to Kurosawa and in fact helped to finish some of Kurosawa's films.

I'm having trouble figuring out what you're getting at. So if Godzilla were real, and in my city, would I be able to see him? I would hope so. If he were invisible then we'd have much bigger problems.

The only weapon against hate is love....

i did not mean him but that did make me laugh LOL

There's a pc nd consol game called Earth defense froce: insect armegeddon. It ha giant creatures that you try and kill to defend earth. If someone took the time to mod the pc version I'm certain you could swap out the aliens for godzilla or any other Kaiju. I suggest checking it out,fun game :D

Indeed Chris.

Wallets of the G-fans from around the world will cry out in sadness as their very green internal organs are pulled out of them.

I'm also excited for the reveal of the S.H. Monsterarts. Considering they have made VERY high-quality stuff in the past, I'm most excited for their product.

(even though it will be a big punch in the gut for my wallet)
