Because they're cheap? Sony was on the ball for their Showa and Millennium releases, but that was after they finally realized there's a market for those who want the Japanese versions and decent quality releases. I'm still crossing my fingers we'll get a better re-release of these films this year backing the new movie.
why hasn't tristar released a better version of the movie, and when i mean better i mean better quality and on a stand alone dvd, and could a blu ray version be nice, the dubbing isn't that bad though.
I am curious, Jesse420, are you going to contribute anything else to the forum other than trolling hatred for the new Godzilla?
Oh, right... There's some sort of montage with it or something of that nature isn't there? It's been ages since I've seen the movie. My copy of the Japanese version got screwed up and I refuse to watch the english dub, so... there we are...
the first city he attacked was kyushu, then the futrianians mention to order ghidorah to destroy hokkaido, he then on screen attacks hiroshima then before he goes for godzilla he must have attacked any other city but isn't mentioned what cities.
To be fair, I only remember one city being attacked by King Ghidorah. It's been awhile since I've seen that film, does he attack other cities? Do we see it or is it just one of those things they state?
godzilla king of the monster
or any godzilla but not the new godzilla
should have a place in the game
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpdZwuyEmRk this video sums up pretty much everyone on this forum.
they should have a really bad earthqik
and all of the history of godzilla come fight
while the other monster try to fight off the godzillas
I cant take this serious. That song is ruining what little is left inside of my head.
Totally not official, I memorized the face, side neck, and gills and it doesnt match from what it looked like from the trailer. Even the dorsal fins dont match. But I do like the sculpt
there have been more than 10 of these threads since the trailer, you want answers, WAIT TILL THE MOVIE COMES OUT! or it might be on the prequel comic.
oh just to point out, out of all the heisei monsters, king ghidorah destoryed/attacked the most cities, where's the movies after had mostly one city attacked.
So... How many useless threads about Godzilla's height do we have now?
This Chart looks pretty good. I have it saved on my computer, but I don't know how to attach images yet.
And hopefully he wont SHIT HIM SELF either wile fighting the mutos. :O
LMAO as funny as that would be hopefully we wont see GODZILLA pissing on anything(transformers bumblebee spilling coolant) i mean this is suppose to be a dark and gritty movie.
Perhaps rivalry is the wrong word for either King Ghidorah or Destroyah-- "foils" might be a better noun in the sense of creatures trying to outdo another. (In that case I still believe King Ghidorah is the better represenative since he keeps coming back for more against Godzilla both within a single movie and amongst several.)
The problem is the ideas you described are there, but there's nothing onscreen to show this battle was any different from other Heisei battles. Changing the color of Godzilla's beam and look and "saying" Destroyah was birthed from the Oxygen Destroyah isn't enough. The stakes were never raised from previous battles: Just a lot of bumping into one another and beam spitting, like always. The backstory just wasn't enough to make up for a bulky, stagnant creature. That said, for a Heisei battle, it was more entertaining than the previous three films.
Was he as great of a threat as Godzilla in the movie? We'll never know, they don't bother to show or explain that. What would he have happened to a city had he attacked it? Would it had been any different from previous monsters? We won't know that either, he simply wen't into battle. But it would've been a great opportunity to show how dangerous he was and set him apart from other Heisei beasts from the audience.
There's an old adage in film that cites, "show don't tell." Destroyah is a case of "tell" relying on same'ole, same'ole to "show". Characters tell us he was awoken from the Oxygen Destroyer. He's a dangerous beast...etc...etc... But none of that really comes off the screen. At least no more than, say, SpaceGodzilla. Great ideas are one thing, but execution is the other half.
Now is Destroyah popular amongst the fanbase? Absolutely. I like the creature despite its flaws and enjoy seeing it in comics and video games. But so are a lot of other monsters. That doesn't make them iconic. I imagine he's popular due to the film's popularity which, in truth, was very gimmicky looking back on it. This is a movie I love, mind you, but that doesn't keep it from being near-fatally flawed.
still a very good sculpture.
The hilarious Ms. America pagent example not withstanding, that does make more sense. Still I would argue that these monsters aren't being "forced" on the fanbase if there was a generational cry for them from the beginning. You said yourself King Ghidorah and Mothra are used the most-- quite frankly the generational between them isn't large enough to simply be passed on from one curious fan to another, they tend to be cross generational with the amount they're used-- the exception maybe being the jump from Showa to Heisei.
It's an interesting argument for other monsters; the idea that if some were used today it might be different. Still, using the argument "fans make these monsters popular", I can't say I've seen a massive, collective cry for something like Megalon or most of the original Heisei monsters. I have for Gigan and (at least in America) Anguirus, but those two at least got some limelight in Godzila Final Wars after an annoyingly long wait.
But at this point we're debating the symantics on how popularity exists. I don't see how anything's been forced on the audience if there's a demand for it or if it's embraced. King Ghidorah has stood the test of time in the same sense Godzilla has. The unfortunate thing is both Godzilla and King Ghidorah's popularity are also part of a right-place-right-time scenerio that other monsters people have brought up were not privy to. Would something like Captain America had worked if it were released today a opposed to the early 1940s? Of course not, but it's endured all the way to today because of that initial success.
Can you please send me an HD file of this copy?? I'd love to print out a poster-sized copy and hang it on my wall!
We'll it not destroyah it kiezar ghidirah because he almost manage to kill him and he fought godzilla at his best which is final war godzilla. Yea destroyah is very tough but still he wasn't close to killing godzilla and eventually he would of won. Now if that was final war godzilla the fight would of been done a whole lot early because his atomic ray alone was able to kill the other monster with one shot because of how much power he had n that why his red spiral was so strong to kill Kiezar ghidorah with one shot and would have done the same to destroyah.
@ZillaHater The progressiveness of Godzilla's size, and inadvertently the size of the franchise itself, seems fitting for each new major facet of Godzilla generation.
Here. I dont think im correct, but it should be close
godzilla sos
and
all mechagodzilla ones
Nose is too rounded. The official design is more boxed off.
Lol, My turn:
xD
It's been said before that there will be scenes in 1954. It's also been said that Dr. Serizawa will in fact make an appearance, but as a modern day iteration. The leaked script from 2012 that is still higly questionable basically had a scenario where it appeared to be an alternate Godzilla universe where the 1954 attack never happened. If we take all these into account (please take note that this is pure speculation based on tidbits of info not proven official):
Perhaps, if this is indeed a complete reboot and not another sequel to the original film, the characters from the original could possibly still exist canonically, including Dr. Serizawa, who's descendant, the modern Dr. Serizawa, would exist because the 1954 one never had to take his own life to stop the original Godzilla. The majority of them wouldn't know about the existance of Godzilla, and could be a pivotal plot point for those who do know. It's been stated before that this Godzilla could be considered the same as the original spiritually, but perhaps it runs deeper than that.
Again, all of this is pure speculation and should only be thought of as something lof interest, not taken as fact or official.
i wonder if perhaps the second movie in the trilogy could introduce some of the old monters who need a new movie going for them like hedorah he was cool but the movie.....blech. im not sure if its for kids, adults, or godzilla fans. He deserves some justice after only being in final wars for about 30 seconds. and he got his butt handed to him on a silver platter there. im just saying monsters like him have a ton of potential. at least Kiryu got a second movie. but what about Varan, Angirus, Baragon and them. those guys were cool too.
i also believe the third movie could be another movie like final wars or destroy all monsters THAT would be an epic finale rather than waiting for japan to take back the big g-man and make more movies.
:P #rant :P
god, would u look at that
I would love to see a game based on the movie in the way of like Godzilla Generations on the Sega Dreamcast. I still play that game to this day and it's only in Japanese. I would be ok with it being based off the movie, or just in the Godzilla Universe like somone else had said above, comparing the Batman games. They say superheroes have crappy games and don't get justice, but Big G is higher on that list in my opinion. Godzilla generations is the only one I ever really enjoyed.

Bet I can top your last one
There are literally about 10 posts of this with every 1 consisting of almost the same argument. Can't we just give it are rest at this point till concrete evidence comes up to put a number besides it?
I feel you missed the point I was trying to make. I'm well aware the millenium didn't do well hence why I used it's box office as a conparison to the lower stature the movies had from past generations. I was simply using mothra as an example of how a younger audience could see any godzilla movie, mothra being my example because as a fan and rewatching it changed my perception of the character something the average person wouldn't do if they disliked a movie. Mothra in that example could be changed with any old toho monster, Megalon, Gabara, Ebirah, ect could all fill his role for the setting of some1 watching the movie, thinking the storyline or movie itself was weak, and dismissing the character altogether, thus older enemies are left out in favor of the more popular ones creating the endless cycle of those monsters gaining popularity while the others aren't used and never get a chance.
Yes people are aware of Ghidorah, but are they aware of all the Godzilla monsters that have been used? Chances are during their lifetime at some point a Ghidorah movie has come out so if you're interested in the character from there they explore the other movies he's in promoting the characters popularity. This isn't the case with other monsters though who haven't been used recently. If you never see Megalon(just an example monster any old underrated Godzilla friend or foe could be put in this situation) in a new movie would you be interested? No of course not as there's nothing putting him in the spotlight to give an interest to him. This brings me back to my point of while Megalon's original movie didn't do well that came out roughly 40 years ago and tastes of movie crowds change. He could be brought back and be received very well, but that will never get the chance as that idea would almost 100% be thrown out in favor of bringing back a monster like Ghidorah and Mothra aaaand the cycle would continue.
Main point being back to what I said originally those monsters are popular because they're forced on you. No point being a fan of titanosaurus, or jet jaguar as chances are you'll never see that monster again, but if you can at least make yourself get behind Ghidorah or Mothra your monster will always be returned to at 1 point or another. True the fans make these monster popular and thus toho keeps returning to them, but when you give 3 monsters an appearance in over half the movie entries you're basically cornering out the competition. It's like if there was a Ms America pageant and 5 contestants got to participate in every round while others just came in for 1 of 2 of course those 5 would win, and of course they'd be the favorites as the others have no real way to compete with that.Probably a bad example but you get my drift.
@valkorin, finally! someone else remembers the marvel godzilla!
any way, i would definietly agree that he may be 5-600 feet in height. it depends of course, on if gareth edwards actually took that goji into consideration, if he did than godzill would have to be somewhere above 500 feet, if not then 5-600 feet might be a bit big. also, you may notice that the whole 350 feet thing wasn't in any quotes, it was just something in the article used to describe godzilla. and 350 sounds like a very rounded number, especially if you are rounding up from the heisi godzilla height. in the end of course, we really can only speculate about godzillas heigt at this point in time, even the trailer, because of the angle and distance, can't really be used as an accurate way to tell godzillas true heigt.
This is a reboot, not a remake so while I can see bringing the character back for nostalgia I really disagree with the decision.
It seems like scientist role has been given to Bryan Cranston's character so I have no idea what Serizawa will do. Perhaps the 2 will work together to come up with the missile you see being loaded in the preview or some type of anti Godzilla weapon.
lmao nevermind, someone just before I commented had mentioned the elevation differences.
