I think it would be interesting not to see Godzilla the first time he makes an appearance. Like we know he's there, and we get a few tease shots of maybe a foot or a tail, but we don't see Godzilla in full at all. I think we should experience the horror of going through a Godzilla attack before we actually watch Godzilla destroying a city. I'd like to see several shots of people running through crowded streets, pushing and shoving each other to save their own skins, people abandoning their loved ones to save their own sorry asses (maybe a father leaves his crippled kid, or a woman shoves an elderly person on the ground while running). Maybe there's a news helicopter around, and while we don't get to see Godzilla directly, we maybe see a reflection in the pilot's visor. I'd really love to see what happens during an attack, so it's easier to comprehend what's really going on when we see Godzilla destroying a city in later segments of the movie.

Huh? We can't even confirm if the trailer confirmation is even accurate (although it's more than likely going to be in front of the hobbit, but the guy was probably just looking for a bit of publicity). So to take this person's word on how long the trailer is, is a bit too much to ask from me. Even then, I don't really care how long the trailer is.. as long as it isn't less than a minute and a half, and not too long (about 3 minutes).

xxsaber, although you're right about the fact that Hedorah will not be making an appearance in this movie, there has yet to be any confirmation on the number of monsters in the movie. While three monsters is the generally accepted guess, there could be anywhere up from 2 monsters in total.  While I believe that there will be no more than three main monsters (Godzilla, eight legged muto, and winged muto), I also believe that there will be many "smaller" offspring mutos that will definitely help put the heroes in peril.

Cool! 2 minutes and 13 seconds long, wow I wonder what will be in it? Thank you very much for bringing our attention to this exciting news.

@DURP004: I remember Titanosaurus, mainly through the game he/she is in. That air blast trick is a neat one. While the visual aspect of it isn't hard, the trickier part was capturing this and the rest of its abilities.

Classic Toho Monster #13: Titanosaurus

Species: Aquatic Dinosaur

Height: 60 Meters

Abilities: Cyclone tail; extraordinary jumper; adept swimmer; releases a sonic wave from mouth


My Legendary Pictures Counterpart: Gargantuosaurus

Species: Mutated Hybrid of Crocodile/Sailfish/Squid/Blue Whale/

Height: 10 meters taller than 2014 American Godzilla

Abilities: Powerful bite; Pressurized air blast from tail; same system for air blast can be used for underwater swimming; sonic scream; powerful wind/cyclone blast

Reason for Species Choices: The Toho Titanosaurus resembled an aquatic Spinosaur with some neat traits. The only thing close enough to a Spinosaur now adays are crocodiles. A mutated version to stand upright is a good starting point. Blue whales are the loudest animals, so a mutated echolocation could be used as a stunning weapon (or at least an earfull of loud noise). Squids are like mini-rockets, the draw water in and thrust it out a funnel to propell themselve. This trait could not only allow Gargantuosaurus to swim a little better, but use a mutated form as a weapon. On land it could draw in air, pressurize it, and release it as a ppowerful wind/cyclone blast.

ANANA the trailer is going too be a new one the second trailer was just a teaser not a trailer but it,s going too be 2 mins long that,s awesome :D

OK I have cut the second leaked trailer so that there is not the speaker at the beginning. And the second leaked trailer was 2:15 long! So I think its the same trailer. But real nice! :D

The trailer for the hobbit might tell us what the second monster will look like or maybe it might be the same monster from the teaser trailer

Im guessing that the second monster might be in the teaser or the muto but who no,s i just hope lengendary gives us a trailer for the internet

The 2nd leaked trailer, I believe, was less than 2 minutes and was massively unfinished. If this is the same than it'll have a lot more footage and will be massively more impressive.

The second leaked trailer was about the same duration, 2:30ish.  I hope its not the same one, I'll be extremely disapointed.

...or some people just take the heart thing too literally and have no concept of thematic symbolism. But hey, I guess everyone feels like they need an explaination for everything.

And just to be clear Godzilla's powers are not the same across the board. Regenerator G-1 was what his G-Cells were called in Godzilla 2000 and that concept is heavily borrowed from the G-Cells in the Heisei series.

Godzilla was never known to have super regenerative abilities in the Showa series, he was simply tough. (Which I like better anyway.) It might be safe to assume that the Godzilla in the Kiryu movies also does not have the same super regenerative abilities. He returned in the second movie with an ugly scar on his chest. Even the GMK Godzilla didn't heal from the wound on his shoulder caused by King Ghidorah-- which was the only reason General Tachibana was able to drill out of his body.

Super regenerative powers are more of an exception than a rule with Godzilla. I wouldn't apply it to every incarnation.

@BOBBYBOY68 - Hedorah is NOT in this film. It has been confirmed numerous times that Banno is working on a Godzilla vs. Hedorah sequel, but that idea did not make it into this 2014 film. That idea is its own project under Banno's watch, and this film is directed by Gareth Edwards, not Banno.

Hedorah is not in this film, nor did Banno ever say he was at any time. Misinterpretation of information is a waste of time and creates false rumors which circulate among fans and cause unecessary debates.

The chances that the monster shown in the SDCC 2012 proof of concept trailer was one of the main antagonists is next to nil.

That footage was "proof of concept" footage, meaning that it was for nothing more than a demonstration that Edwards was on the right track with Godzilla's design and the mood of the film. Again, the chances of one of the real antagonists making it into that teaser are next to nil. The chances we've seen anything regarding his main enemy in this movie is also pretty much nil.

There are no reasons at all, either professional or personal, for Edwards or Legendary to release anything regarding the main antagonist(s) of the movie.

I'd love to be able to see something, but until a real trailer makes its way around we'll all just have to wait.

Speculation on "proof of concept" footage is absolutely useless to everyone.

Interesting take on some of the monsters. I'd say do Titanosaurus, but he's not exactly a difficult concept to visualize a basic fish, reptile, amphibian mix.

Still always have had a soft spot for him. 

If they honestly showed the boss monster dead in an opening trailer a year before the movies was even released I'm sure I wouldn't be the only 1 SEVERLY disappointed therefore i find it extremely unlikely, if not impossible, that is the end monster.

Since EVERY Godzilla in has shown they will use their ray without moderation it's fair to say any wound to the shoulder would end of killing them eventually.

A heart beating doesnt really mean much. That Godzilla wasn't the same as the others, different backstory and everything so to assume he had regenerator G1 is a stretch, but even so it would take months, maybe years to regenerate a whole body around the heart, since the brain which I would guess was telling the body to heal was gone, so while the heart may still function doesn't mean Godzilla could come back.

Great job as always, True American Godzilla, keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing more of these, although I can't think of any more specific monsters I want to see converted, so I guess I'll have to wait for someone else to ask for one.

@DURP004 Um, are you kidding? GMK is the one best movie to support the whole idea of Godzilla being nearly unkillable, and you say he dies from getting a little hole drilled in his shoulder? Don't you remember his heart still beating on the ocean floor after he exploded? Speaking of which, even if he didn't actually survive and the heart stopped beating right after it cut to black, or it just never regenerated into a new body (in which case, that whole scene would have been pointless), it wouldn't be the hole that killed him ( he seemed unaffected by it other than feeling some pain), but the fact that he tried to unleash the power of a hydrogen bomb from his mouth when he had a hole in his throat, which... didn't exactly go well for him.

EDIT:Sorry if I came off as a little hostile, I didn't mean to :)

Drilling a hole into his shoulder kills Godzilla according to GMK. Antinuclear Bacteria got pretty close, making him go into hibernation for yearsbelieve.

Then there's always the debatable topic of a nuke.

It,s possible that the centipede in the teaser could be the main enemy but im not going too go too a movie theater just too see the trailer.

The centipede was shown dead, and I doubt they'd show the main enemy at all in a teaser. 

I don't think we got a good look at Orga from G2000 till tthe movie so going off that i don't think much, if anything, about the main boss monster will be shown.

@LINKZILLA: I'm glad you liked Kamacuras and Kumonga. You're right, Megalon was trickier than Gigan (my previous champ at toughest to convert into a realistic counterpart). I hope you're happy with my LP version of Megalon...

Classic Toho Monster #12: Megalon

Species: Insectoid Seatopian

Height: 55 Meters

Abilities: Flight at mach 3; able to fire Napalm Bombs from mouth; can combine hands to form a drill; able to shoot electrical bolts from the top of its horn; can burrow underground at mach 2; extraordinary jumper, capable of leaping at a rate of 10 kilometers per hour; able to travel underwater at mach 4



My Legendary Pictures Counterpart: [No Name Yet]

Species: Genetically created cyborg-monster from Cockroach/Rhinoceras Beetle/Whirligig beetle/Bombardier beetle/Electric Eel

Height: Same as 2014 American Godzilla

Abilities: Spits extremely hot fire from mouth; Able to shift from humanoid stance to crawling stance; 4 mini drills (on each of its 4 hands) extend around its hand; Electricity is shor from the horn (which also fires a laser to guide the electricity); Emits heat around legs/arms to allow fast burrowing; Great Jumper; Very fast swimmer

Reason for Species choices: Please note that Toho called Megalon a "god". To be realistic, it can't have this term. However, I think I have achieved a realistic version more powerful than its classic counterpart. The original look was a Cockroach/Rhinoceras Beetle mix. This is good, but to have drills, burrowing, and reat swimming it needed more. The electric ability is, again, the same idea from Ghidorah/Orga to allow a guided lightning shot. The fastestswimming bug is the Whirligig Beetle, so it's needed to achieve great underwater speed. The Bombardier Beetle is a real life "fire breathing" animal, only the fire is at the other end. Genetics would allow a more intense version and one shot from the mouth. Cyborgnetics would allow the drill bit to be real, though instead of drilling they're sole use is for attack. Instead intense heat is emitted from the hands to help 'melt'/'soften' the ground to aid in burrowing.

BobbyBoy, THERE ARE NO ORIGINAL TOHO MONSTERS! IT HAS BEEN STATED MANY TIMES NOW.

i wouldnt mind seeing gorosaurus. he hasnt really been in a godzilla fighting as to my knowledge and i think its about time that he got a new design as well

thanks. you have some very interesting choices for animals

they were basically blood suckers that you would find on any animal. they didnt really affect him much. some fell of him when he attacked a ship and they attacked some members if i remember correctly. and bobbyboy68 i really think thats just a rumor. the real enemies are basically mutants nicknamed the mutos

Are you dumb Boddy???? Hedorah is not going too be in the movie lengendary didn,t say anything about Hedorah being in the movie there will only be 2 monsters in the movie the one in the teaser should be the main monster or the winged muto that i was talking about and bobby you should really look at the news more carefully

Thank you for doing Kamacuras and Kumonga for me! These are all very interesting. Now, how about a really challenging one: Megalon!

I'm not sure anything can kill Godzilla (except the oxygen destroyer which desintedgrated him. And Destoroyah basicly IS the oxygen destroyer so there's that too). Even in in GMK when his heart was completly separated from his body and sitting at the bottom of Tokyo bay, it started pumping again. So the list of ways to kill the monster king is very small. 

I hadn't remembered Godzilla being infected before (then again I haven't seen all of the Gojira movies). What did the mutated sea louse do to Godzilla? Maybe we can modify/make realistic the concept for our creature here.

godzilla has been infected by parasites before. he had mutated sea louse in godzilla 1984. i do agree that this is a cool concept

@DINOBOY22: I had forgotten about that kaiju. *Looks up Gabara* I think I have an idea.

Classic Toho Monster #11: Gabara

Species: Dream Ogre

Height: 58 meters

Abilities: Electrical touch (both hands and horn), scaly hide.

My Legendary Pictures Counterpart: [No Name Yet]

Species: Bengal Tiger/Jaguar/Electric Eel/Komodo Dragon

Height: Same as 2014 Godzilla (when upright)

Abilities: Strong scales; genetically modified to stand and move around when upright; poisonous bite; extreme electric shock (from any part of the body); Powerful build; Good speed; retractable claws.

Reason for Species choices: Gabara seemed to be a humanoid, scaled cat from the images I've seen of him. Bengal tigers are the largest of the big cats, but the Jaguar has (supposedly) the better bite force. An enhanced form of Electric Eel ability would be required. The Komodo Dragon, along with the cat body, would make our counterpart Gabara a 'wingless dragon'.

@KAIJUFALL3: A parasite for Kaijus... neat idea! For other monsters I can understand them being infected, but how could Godzilla be infected?

dude that is an awesome idea maybe they can be a parasite on godzilla and be mutated with kinda like cloverfield in a way that would also exsplain why godzilla is bigger than them but it is only a theory 

how about gabera?

I was busy yesterday so sorry for not getting back till now. That said...

@COOLGODZILLA1234:Thank you! I would be greatly honored if Legendary hired to design these monsters! I hope they can be made aware of these designs.

@GOJIRA2K: Your welcome, I was happy to do those monsters. I was suprised to hear about the firestick cactus, but it made a great piece for Biollante. Before I heard of Mononykus, I always thought T-rex was odd for having such tiny arms. After Mononykus, T-rex's arms are nothing by comparison.

@LINKZILLA: Make those two more unique than a dull gigantic Mantis and Spider? No problem! I not only made them unique, but very deadly.

Classic Toho Monster #9: Kamacuras
Species: Praying Mantis
Length: 90 Meters
Height: 40 Meters
Abilities: Mantis claws; Flight; chameleon ability.


My Legendary Pictures Counterpart: [No Name Yet]
Species: Praying Mantis/Flea/Scorpion
Length: 180 Meters
Height: 80 Meters
Abilities: Hybrid Scorpion/Praying Mantis claws; Flight; Poisonous Stinger; and Extremelly good jumper

Reason for Species Choices: A normal Praying Mantis is good, but to Kaiju-fy it our monster needs more to stay alive. The flea is, in the insect world, one of the best jumpers around. When conditions limits the use of wings (bad weather, wing is broken, Godzilla's around) jumping around is the next best thing. Besides, having no armor to speak of means one needs to dodge attacks. The scorpion, especially the deadliest one around, would compliment the Mantis traits. Combine both claw types and few armored monsters could survive its grip. Once an opening was made, cue its deadly toxin located in the stinger!



Classic Toho Monster #10: Kumonga
Species: Giant Spider
Length: 60 Meters
Height: 35 Meters
Abilities: Shoots webbing to capture prey, Poisonous bite


My Legendary Pictures Counterpart: [No Name Yet]
Species: Giant Huntsman Spider/Yeti Crab
Length: 60 Meters
Height: 35 Meters
Abilities: Deadly Toxin, lives in a Colony (300 individuals), light but semi-tough armor, can withstand high heat, and strong claws

Reason for Species Choices: For web spinning spiders, they typically wait around for prey to come to them. Giant Huntsman Spiders, our largest spider species, they don't need webbing to get prey. They hunt for prey, and thanks to living in a large colony, they can work together to take prey down. Yeti Crabs are deep sea crabs, but don't live in cold despite the name. They actually live at hydrothermal vents, so living at such a vent one needs a high heat resiliance.  Since this kaiju species is a hybrid of sea and land creatures, their colony extends from land to deep sea. The colony is cleverly hidden, so few realize thy're in the territory of a dangerous species until it's already to late. With the possible exception of the 2014 American Godzilla, anyone entering this territory and are ever heard from again!

i like the classic atomic breath
