I love 'em.

It wouldn't even need to be as complicated as that THEGMAN123. I mean, I'm not a supporter of the belief that a kaiju sized creature does/can/will ever exist. 

But I still object to the 'size' argument as a reason why not. Sure, there are size limitations due to how physics would affect a creature with similar properties to most modern mammals or reptiles. 

However, using the same laws of physics we have now, they wouldn't be as crippling to other types of earth creatures, such as certain kinds of extremophiles or even insects. 

Earth is home to creatures which can breath acid, resist extreme temperature ranges, survive in total darkness, and even survive in outer space. Granted, most of these creatures are pretty small, but that's besides the point. 

When people start talking about the practicality of a creature which is as enormous as a kaiju would be, we typically come up with limitations based our undersanding physiology of familiar animals. But there are creatures which do exist with radical metalobisms, incredible bone density, lack of a need for large amounts of oxygen, and many other things. 

Granted, no single creature shares ALL of those traits, but those traits are physically possible on earth. And if you blew them up to Monster sized proportions, such an animal wouldn't have to deal with overheating, structural weakness, or a lack of oxygen or food, even at that size. 

Similar to how scientists have a warped perspective of planets capable of sustaining 'life'. We only consider ones that have things like water, reasonable temperatures, oxygen, sunlight, reasonable atmospheric densities, and reasonable gravitational limits. But here on earth we have lifeforms that DO NOT need any of those things. Just because WE do, doesn't mean that 'life' does. Not all life is restricted by the same parameters.

Anyways, that's enough of my rambling for now. 

Basically my point is A: There are no real giant monsters. 

But B: the reason there are no giant monsters has nothing to do with the size of them. Sure, a Godzilla-sized Crocodile would just insta-die at that size. But there are plenty of organisms with properties that would allow them to survive the journey to gigantism much more gracefully. 

@BIGBADBEN

Yes, in the original movies he was always grey. Either way, I'm not that picky.

Already stoked for a new godzilla movie(finally).

@BIGBADBEN

Agree on that one. The third film was probably best. I mean it's Ghidorah. I also like how they made the different awsome mothra incarnations throughout the movies.

Theoretically, you can make anything almost as large as you want if you do it under the right conditions over time with resources and substituting materials in the process so that it'll work. It's extremely hard to do, but never quite impossible. Though, the chances of such conditions being achieved in nature or artificially created are astronomically low.

I actually did come up with some explanations in an alternate universe I made up that allowed a giant monster/robot to exist even factoring in all those fancy physics laws.

Basically, creating a sort of natural/artificial repulsive field of a strong enough magnitude throughout the body would allow bodily structures to withstand impossibly large stresses, as well as provide a defense/offense rivalling a standard Kaiju's or surpassing it. Additionally, if focused outwards in certain instances, it could support any body structure/proportions and prevent the being from sinking into the ground like mud.

Of course, this is where the natural power plant organ system comes into play, generating such a field and maintaining/concentrating it in specific ways befitting the creatures internal/external structure. This also provides a sort of "shield" that surrounds the monsters skin, and is impervious to nearly all conventional forms of weaponry, excluding excessive use of nukes.

This also plays into kaiju/robot battles, whereby having a similar field could act like how mucous on a clownfish does with sea anemones, allowing whatever, be it missiles or beams or claws or fists or whatever else to bypass the "shield", thus explaining how only similarly sized creatures/mechs are the best weapons against another.

This is all just my personal take with no professional back-up for usage in an alternate universe I created. The concept does use the soul concept a bit too, so take it as you will. It's part of why I have Godzilla in this unviverse being about 2km tall, so shut up! I like my idea, and it shall only be mine! I trademark this, and it will be mine forever!

well to be honest the mothra triology wasnt all that bad however people seem to forget that the heisei godzilla films reigned supreme at the box office in toho. i actually liked the rebirth of mothra 3 the best because of the way king ghidorah is protrayed just plain out evil and badass the way he needs to be :)

@dragonlord tevin

ahh shit happens you know XD

thanks there kaijudinosaurfan12345 and yeah i though about that too on what you just said but really i decided to go with what i said because how do we not know that those are the bones of something that godzilla fought,killed, and then ate it ? but seeing how most people here on this site keep saying that those were the bones of another godzilla (myself included) i really cant say.

@bigbadben good theories about the movie but for the fossil scene i believe that the mutos had a cave and godzilla corpses to breed and feed their young just my specualation

godzilla is grey erwingfan91 :) but that doesnt mean that we couldnt see a combination of both colors on him and in the movie :)

it would be cool but i itdid happen you can find me in my zombie apoclaypse fortress

oh my mistake ther titanosaurus42 i forgot all about gareth saying that my bad man and thanks for thinking that my theroies seem legit :) but something tells me that they are probably not :(  i dont know we will have to wait and see though :)

Definitely like the look. On a sidenote: going by the empire cover, trailer and some images. Is his skin grey or brown?. Not sure on that one. I think he is suposed to be grey. No matter the franchise is in good hands.

Those things on the missile aren't eggs. Gareth said so himself, so I'm going to take his word. But otherwise, most of the therios seem legit.

uhh.... no offense to you heavy metal lovers out there but to me the music all sounds the same however i would rather listen to heavy metal over todays country music XD

@gman2887

yeah i seen the topic about it being named hokmuto on another topic that chris picard shared with us i for one like the name if it is official :)

pretty good theory

i think this is gonna be the best godzilla design so far. His skin texture is awesome and i like the size of his dorsal fins. The only thing I had a problem with was the feet but now i really like them.

well the one i ordered on ebay is already on its way to me where i live at and so are some of the bandai figures :) i will be receiving one on friday and the other on saturday :)

duratok

Ik they are, but theyre just explaining it in a more sensible way for us to just let it flow with the fakeness you know, cuz looking at the trailers right now, Godzilla moves slow, he looks like he's super heavy, and idk, just the way hes being portrayed makes it look believable enough to not really complain about the fakeness

Well, I envy you guys. They will probably hit stores in May in my country.

Kinda hard to hear it without a link. :(

I have to ask, is it as awesome as THIS!!!!??? 

@Dragonlord Tevin

The American Godzillas are just as impossible. They're simply too huge to exist.

And now they are gone.

Jeeze hopefully they release them like next week lol, but if the embargo starts lifting at March 17th then I must assume the toys will probably finally be released maybe in late March or somewhere in April, it better be in March though -_-

Holy crap DURATOK thnx for that link man, this totally explains everything I need to correct about the Japaneses' failure perspections of Godzilla.  

I bet Legendary and Gareth read something like this to know and understand how to do Godzilla right haha

I go to Toys R Us every day in hope that the figures will be there. Still no luck yet but I wont stop checking! I'm also still waiting for the Empire magizine to release.

Oops my bad people, lol havent been on my research then haha 

Not saying I'm sold on it, but if you subscribe to the Multi-Verse theory, in a parallel universe, there are Kaiju.

You've only seen two films?

People say he's a mix of Clover and Gigan. I can see that, but people arent really looking at him from a different perspective. Just because a giant monster has long limbs doesn't make him Clover and just because he has giant claws doesn't make him Gigan. I view him as a totally different monster, he looks great to me.

i really like the look of this godzilla he looks really awesome:)

Being a Godzilla fan who only saw 2 godzilla films in my entire life and as a relatively recent member of this site. Im just here to chat with godzilla fans about anything, hell, you and I could make a two hour conversation with that building in the background in Godzilla 2000 (just joking). Im hyped for the new movie.

how about we have a website where all fans of godzilla meet together and have conversations with one another and we help each other out with information we find oh wait a minute.... oh yeah that is this website :)

March 17th is the date the toy embargo lifts, but from what I know some of the Jakks Pacific figures have already leaked into toy stores early.

Godzilla 2014 Rules,

I locked that down for you own good, brother. Don't bring the discussion here. If you have something to say about it, say it private thorugh a personal message.

The lyrics are about a nuclear fallout that didn't happen. What I meant to say that it at least reminds me of godzilla. I just misinterpreted my topic because I didn't think for a second time, I apologize that I said it was fitting for godzilla. It just reminds me of godzilla because of its lyrics about hysteria of what seems to be the end of the world and isn't godzilla suppose to be humanity's end and the symbol of nuclear disaster like in the 1954 film. That film felt dark and is always a masterpiece .

Whoa, that was long wasn't it?

Have to agree. The heavy metal stuff that's put to Godzilla music videos is very clunky and clashes with the images. I don't think there's one "heavy metal" song out there that goes well with Godzilla. The only song remotely near the genre to come the closest was the awful Blue Oyster Cult song which, admittedly, only works in an ironic way.

For my first thread it sure as hell shot out (yeah I reply to others all the time but my first). Madison your explination was fantastic. I actually learned something from all the guys who have replied. 

I feel like a kaiju in reality is bad news bears anyway so the mad scientists who decide to make it a reality better have an off switch on it....

it came from the leaked script. the male is named Hokmuto because of where it was discovered (Hokkaido), and the female is dubbed Femuto.
