It would be awesome, and and I'm with you on it making sense. They said no, though... On the other hand... It REALLY looks like her... on the other hand, they said Godzilla was the only TOHO monster.... On the other hand.......

That REALLY looks like Biollante.  Considering quite a few of the articles I've read seem to indicate an eco message is strong in this film maybe Biollante is present.  It would make sense and be quite epic (not saying she would be the only monster aside from Godzilla either just the biggest)

Slattern is kind of an unusual kaiju.  It's height was technically 180 meters, which is obviously not only massive but much bigger than Godzilla.  However, this measurement is I believe from head to tail, and this is a kaiju that walks on all fours as we saw, so again this is a stranger measurement.  Most of the category 4 kaiju were arond 80 or so meters though which is definitely smaller than Godzilla

I really hope this real. I will finally see the Mutos.

Gypsy be raising her dongers

One burning godzilla is not the strongest recarnation it final wars And destroyah is not his strongest enemy it Keizer ghidirah. yes because he was bout to kill godzilla n it took godzilla at his strongest form to kill him. Now with destroyah yes he tough n took alot of his spiral rays but he wasn't close to killing he hurt him but still godzilla would of end up killing him. And if it was godzilla final war fighting destroyah then it would of end a whole lot quicker because in final war godzilla was killing everyone with one atomic ray n taking more than one monster until keizer ghidirah. But I do think destroyah is cool but not his strongest enemy.

sorry I don't speak computer. Can someone translate?

KYERO Dude, when the fuck did I say Godzilla is 800 feet?  I know that hes 350 feet, and I like that height, but what ur saying is that I was trying to prove that Godzilla was taller than that building.

Wrong, and dont you try to correct me with that interview, I saw that one already, and as big as a G fan you relly think you are, im a huge one too and I bet Ive already seen every Godzilla interview out there.

But what Im trying to say is that I think YOU need to wake up and face reality kid, that ur theory of me trying to prove Godzilla being taller than the building is wrong, did u even see me write something like "Oh yeahh, Godzilla must be taller than the building"?

This picture and topic was just for fun to show that the sizing probably failed, but people sayed it was the angle of the shot. Its time for YOU to wake up and realize that your posts fails to prove anything because you dont ask before you assume something.  

I dont expect this from a G fan, so you should stfu and just accept that ur a Godzilla dick fan and move on to another forum.  You'll be the all happier and more relaxed once you have done so.

i think it might be some sort of octopus or squid muto. makes sence considering the 8 legs thing. 

Lol actually I just thought of the ride just being like the King Kong and Transformers ride, I like this idea better for some reason

I do find it rather odd that Destroyah, despite her strength and heavy armor, was killed by humans. :/

Ya thats exactly what i was thinking but i still doubt TOHO monsters will be involved.  Too me though it looks like the toy that was described as "Damaged Godzilla" from Godzilla Chibi Two Pack - Damaged Godzilla + MUTO (8 Legged)

I know they say no other Toho monsters, but... That looks an aweful lot like a certain plant monster that everyone knows and loves. 

I think the embargo on the toy line has lifted and were gonna get a full shot of Big G in all of his gigantic spikey glory.

I have to agree with Doggiezilla, Destroyah, SpaceGodzilla and Keizer Ghidorah, however, I'm not sure on the order. They are all close.

Godzilla would have won but he was going to die but if was his regular form he would have kicked DESTROYHA'S ASS

SOUND SO DARK TILL THE END OF THE GIRLS SINGING

SOOOOOOO let me get this straight.  Matthew Broderick's last name in the movie is the same as the Godzilla 98's designer..... glad @CHRISPICARD noticed that too.

i think thats a scene From Tokyo S.O.S when Godzilla wakes up i really don't rember

alot of them Godzilla Generations 1 and 2 i have played Save the earth but when it came out i was like 2 or 3 so it was the first game i played of Godzilla i want that game so bad but the price is crazy

My top 3 most powerful   3: Destroyah 2: SpaceGodzilla 1: Keizer Ghidorah

It's your opinion godzillafan1995 and that is fine. I like Destroyah and I think he's a badass.

Would be cool if they also did something that expanded on the Godzilla encounter. Like you could walk through a demolished city and then some areas have screens that show Godzilla stomping through and some screens showing him fight MUTO. Really give you a real world Godzilla experience

First off I think we need to give the other Heisei monsters some serious credit. I feel the biggest issue with Destroyah is how badly he streilizes other monsters. Biollante put Godzilla out of commission until the futurians arrived and nearly wiped his radioactive counter clean. Ghidorah's strength or power wasn't impressive, it was that the creature could be so efficiently controlled by the futurians! Ghidorah wiped the floor with Godzilla until its head controls were taken out. Battra twice took Godzilla with him to the ocean floor, the first time into magma and the second to HIS OWN GRAVE! Mechagodzilla was invulnerable to ANY blue ray, and was staked head to toe in insanely powerful weapons. In fact if Rodan wasn't there, Godzilla would have just died. DIED.

Hell even Spacegodzilla and Mothra had the abilities to use their BRAINS. I feel like the only conceptually interesting thing about Destroyah is the fact it is revived from the oxygen destroyer. Visually I can't stand Destroyah's final form, it does nothing for my imagination. I believe Destroyah is popular in the same way Bagan is; a thunder-thighed, sanguid coloured, spiky, batwinged, satanic boss monster catering to 'extreme' 90's sci-fi action. 

Run that by us again?

GU

I wanna say Destroyah, but Keizer Ghidorah put a pretty big whoopin on the guy. 

I will be stomping to there from Monster Island then.

But it's in design and directing where these beasts come alive. The reason Godzilla was beloved is because he birthed the genre, granted, but he was certainly inspired. The reason Rodan was beloved is because he's a beast that takes to the skies and attacks from above. He even had a mate in his debut movie. Baragon, still baffles me, but I assume it's because he was the beast that took on Frankenstien. The burrowing ability was new as well. Plus he's kinda cute... Varan never as beloved, why? One theory is because his execution was based on lumbering back and forth small sets like a smaller Godzilla. They even used stock footage from the Godzilla (1954) to tie together his attack.

I don't see how Destroyah being born of the only weapon to kill Godzilla added any sort of rivalry aspect than other monsters. It's not even the same Godzilla that's fighting Destroyah and there's nothing to suggest a rivalry during the battle. The backstory is almost non-consequential because he acts and moves (well... moves as much as he can) like SpaceGodzilla, Mecha-Godzilla...etc... from previous Heisei outings.

Granted, it is harder to give the audience something new to watch as time goes on, but that didn't stop the Gamera trilogy from giving the title monster a very different creature to fight three movies in a row-- excusing the Hyper Gyaos in the third film anyway.

There's simply more than backstory that makes these monsters. If that were the case, none of them would have caught on.

They essentially are though. Irradiated Dinosaurs with the exception of baragon as I don't think there was ever any backstory from him he just sort of appears in Frankenstein Conquers the World. To be fair to make something new becomes harder as time goes by simply because new isn't as easy. Sure Ghidorah was different but then again besides anguirus he was the second monster created out of a Godzilla movies with all the previous ones coming from their own starts. I feel Destroyah did add something new. While it's true Hedorah also had changing forms Destroyah obviously paid homage but added it's own twist. Born out of the actual thing that killed Godzilla gave him the rival feel, and I was at least excited to see Godzilla fight the monster who had just killed the baby I'd watch grow up throughout the series. Granted during the first watch I had no idea Godzilla was going to die. While the fight was slightly anticlimatic that's mostly due to as you said habit of the heisei movies to have fights featuring about 90% beams and a suit that wasn't easy to manuever in that was by no means the monster's fault as much as design and directing. 

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to argue here, but I'll sort it out and aleve some misconceptions. First the Millennium series is largely not considered a success. Toho was happy with the performance of two movies (guess which two), two others only did servicable business and the other two outright flopped. Hard.

Meanwhile, Mothra is considered one of, if not the, most popular Godzilla adversary in Japan. This is of course why the Mothra Trilogy was done after the Heisei Godzilla movies. Mothra appeals to the female demograph and because women outnumber men in that country, we have see a lot of love for Mothra.

As for how the earlier movies are seen-- Fairly positive actually. Most the Heisei and Millennium movies were made for a niche group. Namely the fans. But the early Showa movies had no problem reaching wide audiences and being remembered for it. This is also due to the fact that the actors in the early films were widely considered some of the best in Japan: A-list superstars that were often in Akira Kurasawa masterpieces and Takashi Shimura made several appearences-- A man who Time magazine felt confident enough to call "The Greatest Actor in the World." Those are factors that don't exactly go away when recalling old movies.

So it's not a forgotten legacy which may be why other monsters don't get the love or popularity from more audiences. There's a reason the 1960s were called the Golden Age of Kaiju Eiga. Even if current generations didn't see Ghidorah 40 years ago, they're well aware of his legacy.

yeah considering rodan was one of the 3 monsters that got connected to one franchise but had a standalone movie i do think that rodan is under appreciated ( his role was good in g vs mg2) but i consider him better than angirus (no offence angirus fans) and rodan and mothra can work in stand alone movies seperate to the godzilla franchise.

Yes, but as you said a lot of that original popularity has to do with when their movie came out, and the setting for it. Decades don't matter if your original material is thought of as weak, as people won't go back to it to re-evaluate it. Granted we as fans of the series will thus we grow an appreciation for every monster in the series as we notice things no matter how subtle in every rewatch. I used to hate Mothra as a child simply because it baffled me in the original movie how 2 larvae beat the unstoppable Gozilla. Now while Mothra still isn't 1 of my favorite characters I can at least appreciate it. Had I not been a fan I would have probably seen the movie once dismissed it and hated Mothra with a passion since. Thus for the average viewer even in japan i would think as these movies don't hold the same stature they did at 1 point as evident by the success of the millennium series they may not know much about some of the older monsters, but every generation has gotten a chance to see Ghidorah, and this is a 40 year difference. It's not like the same people who went to the movies when Ghidorah the 3 headed monster and when Godzilla vs the Sea monster originally premiered are the major crowd attending movies now. Tastes and preferences change with different generations and the times. monsters that did well before might seem stupid now, and monster who didn't quite catch on may look very good to the current crowd.

Well not just Toho's, but the fans' favorites I think as well... Sometimes I'm baffled that Rodan isn't a part of that group, as he's fairly proven as well. I'd still like to see him in more though. That much I can agree with Durp on.

No, the theory is not what matters. At all. If that were the case, Godzilla, Rodan, Varan and Baragon would be the same monster.

What's presented on screen matters. Any character can say a monster is powerful or spit out a lengthy origin, as often is the case in later Godzilla movies. But to actually execute a monster that is different from past creatures and give the audience something new and exciting is much more impressionable.

In the case of Destroyah we got standard Heisei monster fare. He's kind of like the "status-quo" creature of the 1990s movies.

you have a good point gman, i think king ghidorah and mothra are toho's personal favourites, i considered godzilla mothra and king ghidorah as toho's big 3 monsters and they work so well with each other when you think about it.

here's anouther thing, writers can make any monster more powerful than the other, movie writers could give ghidorah the power equal to galactus (too over the top), make godzilla a living nuke, or they could even give biollante a unlimited amont of forms due to her adapability and immortality( that would be awesome)

The one problem is a lot of these monsters have had decades upon decades to reach popularity. King Ghidorah was hit out of the blocks and that's why he's returned in so many. Ebirah? Not so much. Gigan? Well, enough to reuse immediately, but vs. Megalon kind of killed him for awhile. Most of the original Heisei monsters? Never iconic enough to return. Orga and Megaguirus? No one even cared.

And it's not necessarily about how many movies they've been in. The one that baffles me is Baragon. Apparently, in Japan, Baragon's popularity is astronomical and he's often used in Japanese pop culture. In Japan he's far more popular than Anguirus, who's been in more movies. The monster had one movie and a cameo before GMK. Go figure?

Not that I don't think there are monsters who shouldn't share some spotlight, but if they weren't super popular to begin with the chances of their return is quite low.

I guess my point is that monsters can't just be powerful and given interesting backstories then expected to be popular. They have to do something that shakes the audience in the movie and given something truley different to chew on. There's a wow factor with King Ghidorah and most fans that just doesn't exist with a lot of other monsters. I think it's less about giving other monsters a chance or more about how you present them-- Afterall, what if they're given more chances and the execution sucks? That's not very flattering for anyone.

As for Destroyah, I mostly like his design, but I do think the suitmation effects existed to do him better. But Kawikata was getting pretty lazy at this point in the series anyway. He's never been one to worry about mobility...

Destroyah is one of the most powerfull, I think Kaiser Gidorah is, too. Destroyah is nealry in destructable by anything else, than ice and Kaiser Gidorah is very strong at attacking. I think Spacegodzilla is very strong, too, there were 2 Monsters required to kill him.

In my opinion, one of this three. Destroyah is my favorite, so I would vote for him

Isn't the theory behind the monster what matters? I mean look at kaiser Ghidorah. Looks almost completely different than Ghidorah besides the 3 heads but because of that character trait as soon as you saw those heads you knew it was ghidorah. Point being in terms of looks alone that could easily be changed in any reboot at long as the basic structure or memorable qualities stayed the same. 

Made from weapon that causes serious harm to Godzilla is some way, has different forms, is very powerful and wallah you have destroyah even if he looks almost completely different. I'd be all for updating the look as chances are it could be done better without the constraint of a suit actor needing to use it.
