I can't be the only person to realize that San Francisco has about a thousand feet difference in elevation extremes.  Even in close proximity the elevation can change drastically. If everyone is so sure that the building is like 800 ft tall, it's more than probably that Godzilla is on a more elevated part of San Francisco. Even if that's not the building, it's possible that the building is maybe 350 ft approximately. Also, if you notice, Godzilla is not right next to the building, maybe a few hundred feet away, which only further increases the chance that Godzilla could be standing on a more elevated area. San Francisco is not a flat city. It doesn't stay have that consistent elevation, it's extremely varied. It's one of those cities that you can drive for about ten seconds and be about five hundred feet lower than when you started.

I'm very surprised no one had mentioned that to further discredit Godzilla's height being something way above what was said "just a bit bigger, like putting an antenna on a building to make it bigger". Because two hundred to eight hundred feet more is just  "a bit bigger".

I was contacted by a very talented artist... doing a special feature for his latest project this afternoon on the site to help get his name out there and to show off his truly awesome creation. You'll see 15+ pics of this in the article, but it's just too much fun to tease it. hahaha Although I will say it's NOT Muto... as some people on our FB page have suggested. Many of you have already guessed it. I didn't think it would be very difficult to figure out. ;)

The problem with this theory of yours, VALKORIN, is that while it conforms to modern day specifics for a HALO jump and the precautions that real soldiers take during its execution, you have to remember that this is a movie. They're going for a realistic feel for Godzilla and a realistic take on the human reaction. However, even in a movie like this, they can open the soldier's chutes at whatever height they want and have them come out okay because movie physics are seldom accurate to real life. They might be going for realism in the tone of the movie, but they never said that they'd be exact to every tiny eetail about what their characters go through as far as physical activity.

Again, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand why Godzilla will not break 400 feet.

The facts that prove contrary to your theory are as follows:

* Gareth Edwards interview with IGN confirms that Godzilla will be minimally taller than the tallest incarnation on film which is the Heisei version standing at 100 meters or 328 feet.

* If Godzilla were the same height as teh 555 building (779') he would have been visible during the opening wide shot of the city when the soldiers are falling. At such a height, there is no way for him to not be visible from anywhere in the city due to it's small size at 49 square miles, or 7x7 miles (roughly).

* It was expalined multiple times during early development that he'd be bigger than ever, but still small enough to 'hide' within the skyscrapers.

* The Godzilla encounter footage didn't show the final creature design from a physical appearance standpoint, but it did show his final height at 35 stories tall.

* 35 stories is, by modern American architectural design specifications, around a height of around 355 feet.

Coincidence?

* Geographically, the 555 building rests at the base of an elevational rise and is only 36 ft above sea level.

* I can now confirm, after critically examining the trailer and comparing it to both street maps and geographical maps of San Francisco, that Godzilla was on a rise/steep by comparing the orientation of the 555 building itself to Godzilla and other larger buildings in the walking shot during the trailer. By analyzing and comparing the locations, shapes, and relative heights of these structures surrounding both Godzilla and the 555 building, I can say with relative confidence that Godzilla's walking path in the trailer was roughly through the general areas of Powell St., Mason St., and Taylor St.

* Powell St. is the closest to the 555 building, and is about 1000 feet away which means that Godzilla is much farther away than he appears at first glance thanks to lighting and camera angle. Also, Godzilla is walking on a rise/steep given that geographical distance and difference of those streets relative to the 555 building's location which makes him stand taller than normal against the 555 building itself which is why he almost appears to stand even with it. He's farther above sea level than the 555 building.

Those are the facts.

How tall is that particular steep area I mentioned? I honestly don't know because I can't find any information on the different elevations throughout the city which can accurately measure the changes from street to street across the city. I tried checking different geo maps, but they didn't give me readings either that were accurately measurable which is why I'm not posting claims about the difference. If you can track down that specific information, then do so because as much as I want to, I've been unable to. If you find the elevation of these streets as they get closer to California Street, you'll be able to tell just how much higher above sea level Godzilla is standing versus the 555 building.

Regardless, the fact remains that we have confirmation (and have had for some time now) that Godzilla is minimally taller than the Heisei incarnation from Director Gareth Edwards himself, but we also have the proof in the trailer itself that Godzilla is walking along one of the rises/steeps in San Francisco's constantly changing geographical elevation. Again, it's a small city, but it's got a HUGE number of elevational changes if you've never been there to see them or haven't checked a geographical map of it. Driving throuh it is quite the trip.

We can argue the logic of the HALO jump and (for lack of a nicer phrase) b*tch and moan about the whole 'standing level with the 555 building in the trailer', but the facts remain the same.

The trailer was meant to showcase Godzilla and tease both him and the tone and scope of the movie, which is what a trailer is meant to do. Was Godzilla's size accurately depicted for us with absolute precision? Not at all. Forced perspective and clever camera angles and lighting (as well as San Fran's wonderful geography) made sure of that. Anyone and everyone who says he's level with the 555 building I can confirm is wrong with absolute confidence, and when the movie comes out I guarantee they won't have anything to say to those who ask them "what happened to your 779' estimation?" In fact, many of them might try to deny having made such an estimation, but the posts they've made don't lie (so long as they don't delete them of course).

When making examinations and making speculation based on real facts and data such as I have done, it helps to do the research and think logically rather than rely solely on what your eyes tell you. Taking fats and real data into account first and then trusting your eyes makes for much more accurate and reliable speculatoin and expectations.

The human eye is very easily fooled, as is proven by the 779' theory even existing in the first place, as well as any and all optical illusions you may be familiar with. We can argue about it, or we can accept the reality that Gareth Edwards has made a Godzilla that is only minimally taller than the 328 ft. mark as he openly admitted to on live television. He even exclaimed that he's a size for a certain reason and that making him too big *cough* 779' *cough* would take away the story telling and the ability of the movie crew and animation team to really have fun with him and make him believable within the scope of suspending out disbelief that such a creature could even exist.

I'll say it one final time, I can say with confidence that I trust the 350 ft. even though I'll give or take 20-40 feet for however much Godzilla leans forward or straightens when walking or standing for balance/attacking purposes. But again, given the real data such as San Frans elevation in combination with modern American architecture design rules and floor plans, I can say with confidence that 350 is just about right for Godzilla's size.

Acctualy the tallest Godzilla before this movie would have been the marvel Godzilla who was around 475'to 500' so yes iv already heard hes gonna be a bit taller so 550' or 600' is acctyualy accurate to everything that has been released up till this point.

The rivalry in my eyes stems from his origin. He was born from the only real thing to kill Godzilla, and while this wasn't the same Godzilla it was a stronger one thus he didn't kneel over and die after just 1 shot. To see the strongest form of Godzilla take on a personified version of the thing that killed him made the fight for me. True it was never established as a rivaly, but as I said with Ghidorah no movie except maybe Spacegodzilla coming to earth simply to kill Godzilla ever established a rivalry it's mostly been up to the fans.

I don't know why you don't think Destroyah is iconic. True he may not hold the same stature Ghidorah or Mothra do, but he is definitely among the upper level of monsters popular from the series as evident by the fact he's been returned in almost every game released after his movie showing the monster has a following and popularity larger than a lot of the monster's who's place he took. There's also the fact heisei movies were't released initially in the US unless you special imported them before DVDs. That alone could also explain a lot of the villains from heisei not having the iconic role they may deserve over showa monsters whos movie was realeased in the US, in movie theaters in most cases.

Ill just say that he will most likely between 350-450 feet. Until we get an official statement which I doubt they will until movie release date to keep us fans guessing all we have to go back on is Edward's statement of Godzilla being tallest and slightly above the height of Godzilla at his peak of power which was Final Wars I believe.

Since this is a modern Serizawa id imagine he will play a pivotal role in solving the Godzilla crisis along with the other monsters. Based on the footage shown and photos of him in hazmat gear id say he discovers the foes Godzilla will face in the movie which are later experimented on and break loose. Since Legendary has plans for Godzilla after this reboot if it does well i'd imagine he will attempt to come up with a weapon capable of matching Godzilla but in the end doesnt work.

Its probably just a well crafted fan sculpture made by a fan. It looks amazing or its a low chance but maybe Godzillas feet will look somewhat different from what we've been shown. THe model above that is the 10 inch one was subject to change and isnt final but then again theres the model with Biollante. If Legendary decided to reimagine Biollante for a sequel to Godzilla then id imagine it would look like that.

I seriously doubt that the filmmakers actually took into account the minimum height at which people can open their parachutes OR the actual heights of specific buildings in San Fran when making Godzilla's scenes. People seem to forget that, even in the original film, where the sets were painstakingly recreated from real Tokyo locations, there were some mistakes and inconsistencies in Godzilla's size compared to the buildings, and the makers of this film almost certainly don't care that much about accurately representing his size. There is no "proof" that he is around 600', nor is there any reason to believe he will be such a ridiculous size. The director flat-out stated that he will only be the largest by a bit, so he will only be the largest by a bit, period. Can we please stop making discussions about Godzilla's height now?

well its not about perspective its about the logic of the HALO jump itself if Godzilla were say 350' to 450' most of those jumpers are dead and the others would suffer serious injury from the impact so perspective has nothing to do with it.

if it's fan-man then it is good.

Hm, I see your point. Then again, the angle, and perspective really take part in our assumptions. The thing is, we may not know how tall Godzilla is until May(Considering there will be a book). Maybe even sooner, but at the moment, I believe it is hard to say so. As fans waiting for the movie we have no direct info or proof. The closest we have to "proof" is that article, and even then it wasn't an official statement.

Personally, I find it hard to believe that this Godzilla is 350 feet tall. Hell, I could be wrong. Until I hear or read a statement either from Legendary/Warner Bros or Gareth Edwards himself, I won't take any assumptions about his size into consideration. I say this respectfully. Plus, I mean...it's not even like the article said, "351, 356" or whatever. It was DEAD CENTER 350'. EXACT. Lol. I only take that with a grain of salt. Then again, to believe Godzilla is over 400ft is rather sketchy because Gareth said he'd be the tallest by only a little. I guess we'll have to wait.

It took some time, but honestly after a good amount of thought..it really does not matter how tall Godzilla is. You know? So many people want his height to be absurd and or compete with the height of the monsters from Pacific Rim. The thing is, this is NOT Pacific Rim. It's Godzilla. They're different stories in different universes. We should except each as its own. No matter what, Godzilla is still the character that has been around for 60 years. He's still one of the original cinema behemoths. He's still the unbeatable King of the Monsters. Of course I'd love a 800 ft Godzilla over a 180 ft one anyday. However, as long as I get a Godzilla remeniscent to the original, I'll be happy. 

I was thinking about it, I think that maybe the Mutos are Dr. Serizawa´s  new Bio-Organic Weapons. Maybe he is they "Father"

EDIT: I think he will die, if he is even in part responsible of the Mutos breakout, the Mutos would kill him (That would be more dreamartic). If he don´t help to create the mutos, then Godzilla will kill him, anyway, in both scenarios, he will have chance to scape, but he will stay and get killed by the monsters because some kind of blame scence.

It,s fan made it it,s Still awesome!

It's definitely fan-made, but awesome!

Well, comparing this pic vs those sculpts, boy I don't know. It looks really close, it all depends on the angle.

its the offical but i remember the neck being wider than this this neck looks GMKish

Hey, I saw that here http://tallfastskater.deviantart.com/art/GODZILLA-428655830 but I thought it was another fan model or something.

Here's the pic from the link above (which I must saw, is very well done regardless if it's fan made or the real deal)

UPDATE: I just found another pose from the same sculpter, the feet are visible in the left side, and it DOESN'T match the leaked 10" figure

@Godzilla rim

You need to drop what you're doing, and find a way to watch that movie. Its grrrrrrrrrrreat!

@GODZILLA RIM

 You can watch godzilla vs. boillante on daily motion. it's in two parts but that's not bad. You can go see it now if you would like to.

That would be cool to see. It could make an entertaining sequel.

But also adding Godzilla will be the only Toho monster in this film, so that sucks, but I'm ok with DAT, GODZILLA IS IN THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!

Yah it looked something like Biollante, in the movie Biollante actually used its plant tentacles to strangle Godzilla. I actually haven't seen the movie, but I saw the scene and it was awesome, I raelly want to see it, thats like the only monster that matches the picture. Like what other monster has green, plant-like tentacles. I truly don't know, maybe it is the new monster, probably not. 

@Linkman89

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
