Then dont do it.

But MG’s AI was built on King Ghidorah’s neurons.

SarcasticGoji

Mechagodzilla's body and artificial intelligence existed before Ghidorah took over. So Ghidorah's consciousness possessed an already existing titan, like how a ghost can possess a living being.

But aren’t Mechagodzilla and Ghidorah the same characters in monsterverse, just different forms.

So if the teams are dedicated to alpha titans, will there be a team Mechagodzilla?

That makes sense, I have noticed these trends have stopped around the millennium era.

SarcasticGoji,
I think the way Taiwan uses "dinosaur" and Germany uses "Frankenstein" & "King Kong" are the same. In those respective countries, the words stand in for "monster" and are popular selling points. What seems bizarre, misleading and almost like a copyright lawsuit to us, must be more accepted and understood in those countries.

SarcasticGoji,
I think there were some attributes taken from Titanosaurus--The colors, as you pointed out, and the orange fins around the head and snout. It's almost like Eiji Yamamori really wanted Titanosaurus and Varan to be in the show, so he made Godzilla's forms out to be variations on those designs.

Fuyuki Shinada did something similar when he designed King Ghidorah for GMK. He was so disappointed his Varan design wasn't going to make it in the movie, that he used Varan's face for each of King Ghidorah's heads.

Granted, Yamamori is clearly doing something more explicit that he wants to be noticed.

I’ve been doing some research and it seems the Tawainese Titles Include Dinosaur, as a replacement for Godzilla. In fact Godzilla vs Biollante is called Big Dinosaurs

Another title for GMK (2001) in mexico is The Invasion of Godzilla

I never thought the first one looked like Titano other than the coloration.

SasquaDash,
Yes, but the deal is no different than the one Toho has with Legendary. If we wonder why Toho is allowing this in Singular Point, we should also lay blame (or praise) at their feet for Legendary's films too. They may have approved aspects for all three studios, but they're not the creative studio behind the Monsterverse or the anime.

And I think it's becoming more obvious why Bones and Orange have done this. Monster designer Eiji Yamamori and the animators are clearly very much fans of the series, but whereas Titanosaurus and Varan wouldn't fit the story (or rather, they have the self-control not to shove them into the story needlessly) they're using design attributes as an homage for something else entirely.

Normally, I'd pin this as "lazy" but, quite frankly... well look at it. It's not exactly a carbon copy of the Titanosaurus or Varan we've seen before.

G. H. (Gman)

Yes, but Toho is still involved with overseeing the project, so these choices were made with their approval.

I'm just wondering why they made these "new" kaiju so similar to the old ones if their meant to be something different...

SasquaDash,
Orange and Bones. Not Toho.

KaijuFan_6754,
Why? They're Legendary's designs.

SarcasticGoji,
It's an interesting thing Orange and Bones are doing with this series--Using aspects of other monster designs for something else entirely as an homage to past monsters. The main thing is only the hardcore fans will notice it and anyone new will likely miss it.

I don't think I can recall another franchise that has done something like this. If nothing else, it's a roundabout form of fan service that doesn't stop the story in its tracks, so I'm appreciative of that aspect. Oddly, the Titanosaurus >>> Varan >>> Godzilla evolution is something interesting to think about and not entirely off base. It also adds to the commonality between all these monsters the story may or may not be alluding to. (I don't really want to give anything away.)

I'm fascinated by this approach. It also reminds me I need to watch episode 7.

Mechagodzilla is smexy

ok im kidding

On the kaiju male front, King Ghidorah was absolutely beautiful in King of the Monsters

I am a straight male and I think Ken Watanabe was cool looking

correction: most of the kaiju only share certain traits not a whole design for example the varan one

homages, and that’s a weird question. They wouldn’t just rebrand OG Kaiju that have already bet established. An the “Kumacaras and Kumonga” just have the coloration. I can’t say much for Salunga, but but most of the kaiju on have resemblance.

Literally the only normal looking one is Anguirus.

SarcasticGoji

If they're meant to be new original kaiju, then what's the point of making them look (and in some cases sound) nearly identical to the older kaiju? Why not create a new design, instead of copying an older design? If these are meant to be new kaiju, they could've made them look unique, but instead they look like uninspired (and potentially lazy) knock-offs of more famous kaiju.

um cOMEON I ONLY REALLY LIKE FICTIONAL GUYS-

alexander skarsgård was cool ig

Sorry in advance about the advertising admins, I know you're touchy about that stuff...

I'm not saying that Godzilla Ultima is bad either, he has a pretty cool design.

Godzilla Ultima is good for the show, Monsterverse design doesn’t work for everything.

and lost.

I have to admit that I actually thought Godzilla was the bad guy when I saw the trailer. But I would rather have Big G as the bad one rather then the Mechagodzilla disguised as Godzilla rumor that was trending. Thankfully, that wasn't the case.

Honestly, they should've just done a design like this:

But that's what I think. We all have our preferences.

Yes he did

I heard rumors that Godzilla evolves throughout Singular Point, like Shin Godzilla did. If this is true, then Aqualitis and Amphivia are just stages in Ultima's evolution.

THATS NOT VARAN. Rebranding is such a weird term for this. These are new kaiju! Just because they look like old ones doesn’t mean they are. And I see it somewhat, but that’s not Varan, thats Godzilla Amphivia

And now they've rebranded Varan as Godzilla Amphivia...

I really don't get why Toho's doing this...

Kong had his fun

And?

Godzilla went total vicious mode on Kong after the whole deflection....and then this happened.

I'm all legendary Godzilla

G. H. (Gman)

“Godzilla transcends characterization and takes foothold in something almost terrifyingly otherworldly” Can this be considered cosmic horror

Yeah, Big G legit lost his mine after Kong jumped on him from the building.

Considering Godzilla’s weight compared to his size, Godzilla’s flesh was probably as dense and as hard as rock. He weighs 99,000 tons and the mega kaiju from pacific rim is taller and longer but weighs a measly 3,000 tons. That’s how Godzilla was able to shrug off Kong’s axe.

Goji is much more durable, and Kong didn’t choose to not kill him. Goji went berserk.
