Godzilla vs King Ghidorah

I have to say, I've been a godzilla fan for all of my life.  But I hate his theme.  

I do love the original music representing Godzilla in the original Gojira.  That music was dark and creepy.  However, the theme that he uses now is not, and it actually originally represented the army.  They have since added an intro, and I'm sorry, but I HATE that intro.  (sorry for the strong opinion)

Legendary and Gareth seem to really enjoy the atonal music from 2001: a space odyssey.  I hope the score reflects this, because that was terrifying.  

That being said, I am sure that Alexander Desplat is going to do everyone a solid and quote the theme in his score.  He won't use it, but he might leave hints of it here and there.  That would be really cool if he does it right.

So YOU are the painter of this image!  I remember being annoyed by it because I wanted the official design, not some stupid artist crap  =).  In all honesty, this is an awesome painting, and I have always liked it.  I would LOVE to see your revision with the real design.  That's gonna be awesome!

Interesting to note, in Gojira, they usually say that nuclear weapons "awoke" him, not necessarilly created him.  Maybe Legendary will do the same.  For me, I still want him to be mutated by nuclear radiation.  So maybe Godzilla was an ancient beast mutated and awoken in 1954 by nuclear radiation?  

As far as the Mutos go, I have nothing.

Iff Godzilla dies, then maybe we could have a very small scene where a lizard-sized "baby" runs around.  Like a 3 second clip.  Just to let us know that Godzilla cannot die.

 I agree that baby G doesn't fit the atmosphere of the movie.  However, if, and only if, Godzilla is killed (which might happen considering Serizawa is in this movie), I think their needs to be something that shows the audience that it isn't over.  If hummanity continues their "scientific arrogance," than Godzilla will be back. 

And yes, lizard sized.  No Jurassic Park Raptors in this movie!

As much as I agree with all of you, I don't think it would hurt to crunch some numbers and make a prediction.  It would be no closer to truth than any of the other crackpot theories out there, but i think it's worth a shot.  

For the length of the depression, I found that 6 people fit within that length.  If my reference was a guy, I have 34ft.  If a girl, then 32.  I would try and fit that as the maximum width of his tail (on the ground), and then the maximum length (or width) of his foot.

Again, I agree that this scene doesn't mean Godzilla's foot crushed the train, but I don't see why we can't try to work with what we have.

I've totally got the answer!  The raptors from Jurassic Park.  

You bring up another point that I don't think people notice.  The view we get of Godzilla isn't just cloudy, it's angled.  The skydivers head is tilted when looking at him, which means the image of Godzilla is skewed.  If you watch the skydive scene untill the very last moment, you'll see that Godzilla is fairly upright.  The Godzilla 2000 reference was actually a very good comparison, but I think that's the extreme.

This video brightens and clears the scene I'm talking about.  This guy also slows the framerate.  Check it out.

Kyero, not to mention that they wouldn't send ill equipped paratroopers in to the city. They aren't even wearing anything that would keep overdosing on radiation.

Right? There's too many unknowns in this scenario to take this as evidence.

I don't get how they came up with 779'.

Gareth says "just a bit bigger"

them: "just a bit bigger= doubling Godzilla's current largest size".

Yeah, that's not much bigger at all.

It might be his foot, but it could just as easily be is tail that trails behind him.

But even then, there was still that other giant creature in the concept trailer, laying there.. dead. For all we know, that thing had made the imprint on the train.

You also have to remember that they did edit the train scene a bit. I just checked, there are a few minuscule differences.

But really, the train scene evidence is "circumstantial" at best when deducing Godzilla's size.

I haven't seen or read anything that claimed Godzilla was a crocidile. I've heard people making the claim that the scales look a bit crocidilian, but that's about it. That's something I agree on, just look at the bumps and the overall "roughness" of the scales that we're able to see on some of the official pictures of Godzilla (like the licensing expo).

The closest thing I can think of that's sort of like a lizard/fish are salamanders, though those are amphibians and not reptiles, which lizards are. They have gills that are not vestigial, and they can breathe above water as well. Also, snakeheads come to mind, though they are fish that can breathe above water for extended periods of time, as well as utilize their gills.

Having Godzilla be a mutated dinosaur would very much pull away from the realistic approach. So, I don't think they went that route. I believe that they've left out Godzilla's origins for the most part, though I could be wrong.

I believe that Godzilla should be intelligent. Not extremely intelligent, but where Godzilla is able to problem solve to a degree. It'd be interesting if Godzilla had a trial and error approach to combat. "I'll try grabbing it and putting it in my mouth. Maybe that will work.... nope, it's too fast. Maybe if I try smacking it with my tail? Would that work?" that sort of intelligence seems likely (not with the actual words appearing in Godzilla's mind, but showing it in his behavior). Unlike Akio, I think it'd be very believable if Godzilla was able to recognize some humans, especially reoccuring humans. I'm not saying he gets a flash back scene (cough cough Godzilla vs King Ghidorah cough cough), though I'm sure not many people will live long enough for Godzilla to become familiar with them.

But still, Godzilla should be intelligent, but not like he's a rocket scientist or anything.

Considering this train scene is also in the concept trailer before all this mutos stuff I believe that big smashed part of the train is still Godzilla's foot. Although we don't know what part of his foot and so on I still believe this just gives a little sneek peak at his size.

^Doggiezilla, that's just the signature thing. lol that's not what the console said.

I've already posted my ideas on what I thought Monarch was, and what I believed this character's goals were. You can read it if you want. lol I don't feel like typing out ten paragraphs again.

Yes, toy rights have been announced.. I believe.. Neca, bandia, bandai creations, SH monster arts (I believe), and maybe x-plus. I'm not exactly one hundred percent sure.

1. the monster in the 2012 concept trailer was replaced by the insectoid mutos in the 2013 version of that same trailer. This second mutos thing was also shown in the 2013 trailer (the "actual" trailer, if you will). I highly doubt that BOTH monsters will be making an appearance, but HEY you never know.

That aside, a monster in the likeness of J. Carpenter's The Thing would probably be pushing itself into the R rating. lol I like it. I don't think they're going to be putting a shapeshifter into the 2014 movie, maybe a sequel, but again.. I could be wrong. Again, would be bad ass.

2. Edwards only referred to Godzilla as an antihero once. People just reference that interview a lot, making it seem as though Edwards has said it thousands of times.

3. To be honest, I could care less how Godzilla came into play. Though I do believe it involves nuclear elements still. I just don't think everything needs to be explained, especially if Legendary plans on doing anything more with the character.

4. Godzilla hunting the mutos? that actually sounds like an interesting concept.

For the most part, I really liked your ideas.

I've thought of this already. xD It wasn't on this site, but on google+ with my youtube friends. We figured this wasn't really any sort of evidence.

There's several problems with using this image to estimate Godzilla's size however. The main thing being is that we don't know what crushed that train underfoot. The second thing being our lack of knowing what part of the foot crushed the train. Was it just the heel, or was it at the wider part of the foot, probably near the metatarsels? There's just not enough to really deduce Godzilla's size here. It's more than likely one of the "mutos".

Notice the hole in the left one? It looks like something was trying to get in there, and that hole is much too small for Godzilla. Basing this guess off the "beak" thing I've read on Chris Picard's trailer analysis, that makes more sense than Godzilla breaking in to it.

I firmly believe that this scene is a "day after the mutos have dinner" sort of thing.

If anything of Godzilla compressed that car, it might be a toe. Not an entire width of the foot. way to small...could be a MUTO as well. But i'm inclined to agree with the above statement...just some random destruction. Remember..that snipit of footage comes from the original teaser from 2012...nothing was even being filmed yet so we may get something entirely different as far as the train goes.

The image is kind of irrelevant as it does not really give us a clear image of his size & a foot size will not determine his length, width or height IMO. This image is just a classic destruction scene left by the King of Monsters.

realistically,why would legendary make something look like hedorah?, when you can have it be like destroyah? no offense to hedorah fans, but hedorah looked like a slimy, steaming, giant, living turd. while making something cool out of hedorah is possible, matt frank did it with g-neo, it would be pretty difficult compared to making something like destroyah look cool.

*he

considering that there is no indication of another footprint, he has a very large stride.

There is no doubt that G-fans are devoted, but (as a collective) we can also be very quick to judge (especially with this upcoming reincarnation). Many fans are already worrying about The King's posture after having seen him through the goggles of the HALO jumper in the trailer. It's important to remember that they are also seeing him through a dense blanket of smoke.

All we see in the opening sequence of the trailer is the silohouette of Godzilla.

What most are forgetting, is that Godzilla dorsal plates do not have to perfectly follow the contour of his back. They can increase in size very quickly from where they begin (along his neck) to where they are largest (which is typically below his shoulders). As a result, the outline of his dorsal plates is not necessarily a reliable indication of his posture. 

If you really want to get an idea of Godzilla's posture in this movie, just watch the final scene of the trailer. Our eye's are incredibly good at perceiving depth, and as you are watching Godzilla turn amidst the falling debris, you can clearly see that he is standing upright. In other words, G'14 is not a kaiju-equivalent of Quasimodo.

While the angles of perspective are different in the images below, I hope they provide some solace.

I think he will stand up right when looking around or fighting, but when moving, hunched over. Everything I've seen suggests hes a bit of both.

I don't understand the fan hate for him being 'hunched over'. The fact that a CGI realistic reature would look just awkward and silly standing 'straight up'. We have to remember, this is based on what works well realistically. We can't have Godzilla's head sitting flat on his neck like a humans, that isn't how animal's heads work. Even a Giraffe moves with its head neck hunched. 

Not smart like King Kong, and not a mind-less brute. More so of a Tiger. Or a Crocodile. Very instinctive, yet intelligent in its own way. He is TOO DAMN BIG to recognize a humans face and go into some stupid, "Flash back" or something. Or gain a certain hatred for humans or whatever. Make it beliveable. He represents the force of nature. A hurrican, tornado, things that can't be stopped, yet so destructive. Not because it chooses to harm, or to save, but because that is its nature. Destruction. His intelligence should show when he needs to defend himself against the other monsters lurking in this story. 

Just slightly smarter than your average animal. I like the idea of Godzilla being driven by instinct. It allows counter play and ways to fight against him or drive him away for the humans.

Godzilla should show some signs of intelligence or cunning.  He's definitely more than a simple raging animal, he's a force of nature with a mind.  I want to see him recodnize certain things or maybe even certain people he encounters multiple times.  Of course he should show some emotion as well, but most importantly I don't want to see him be guided by bird calls like the 1985 version.  I always thought that was kind of stupid that birds could lure Godzila away.

Wow, great find! I never thought to type in "storm". I think it is the American Godzilla. After all the American Godzilla has a built-in nuclear reactor to power the Atomic Breath (and who knows what else with this version). Godzilla could easily be causing the distribtion as he/she travels to San Francisco

ME WANT UPRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GODZILLA 1998 MOVIE SHOULD BE RENAMED ZILLA 1998 SO PEOPLE WILL STOP BABBLING ABOUT THE ZILLA NAME CHANGE BEING A MYTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To me, this movie is about a monster being mistaken for Godzilla and the Xiliens took the baby zilla from the ending and other monsters in Godzilla Final Wars.

This is the story I'm stickin' to and you cannot change my mind!!

I like him as Zilla, BUT I HATE HIM AS GODZILLA 1998!!!!!!!!

We call them Mutos because... That's what they're called? All the toy descriptions refer to "Winged Muto" and "8 Legged Muto", Muto is their species, so until we get specific names, that's what we call them. It's not a completely new term from the virals.

I hope not. The only Godzilla offspring worth noting was Godzilla Junior, and he didn't get cool until his third appearance. Besides, there's no need for a baby Godzilla for a sequel, Godzilla SHOULDN'T die. If he does, then they failed. The idea of the Oxygen Destroyer was because Toho didn't expect the movie to be as popular as it was. 

I'm sure he'll be upright, but somewhat hunched over. From that tiny clip we saw in the trailer, and the comic con experience thing, he looked to be somewhat hunched over, but he's not postured like a T-Rex thank god. 

779 would've been too big. You guys are looking too hard into it, the director himself said he'd be bigger than before, but not by much. You're taking it too seriously. At the end of the day, just be happy that he'll at LEAST be as big as he was in the heisei series, but not as big as you estimated. Just wait and see.
