It has been delayed? Huh. Okay.
I am OK with the delay. It seems like the match everybody is waiting for so they need to get it right.
Guys, Godzilla vs. Kong has been delayed to 20th November 2020.
Sorry JurassicKaiju14 I got a little carried away, the reason why I said Marvel-tard is due to Marvel incorrectly thinking humans are the pinnacle of evolution which they are not.
The only thing humans have unique is their arrogance to think their unique. I am a firm believer that sapience is not solely unique to humans, several non-human animals shows levels of sapience which means millions of years later will either become rivals to human kind or if my extinction scenario comes true be our replacement.
Even if you could rewind time back to the dawn of Pliocene then play it forward, humans may or may not evolve a second time.
What? Oh, someone on Toho kingdom.
@Gmkgoji Who said that? Xeno or Hooded?
I do believe this is one of the reasons he called scified a horror show...
Well, what can you do?
@RR44 Kong be like: "You could not live with your own failure back in '62. And where did that bring you? Back to me."
Also, nobody knows for sure if the movie's been delayed. Who knows? Maybe we'll get the teaser at this event. Best case scenario, they're trying to not oversaturate us like they did with KOTM. Worst case, it's been delayed.
That picture of Kong sitting on an aircraft carrier... LOL !
Like that would ever happen... but it looks cool.
I think the movie has been postponed. We should have gotten a teaser by now.
Oh yeah, and speaking of Godzilla v Bowser...

I actually made this thing a while ago.
I have a Switch. I s m a s h.....
SMASH BROS!!!
I really dunno what that was.
@Xenotarsis Ummm yeah no, evolution is a tree not a ladder Marvel-tard.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, let's back up and take a deep breath here. This is a thread for civil discussion and conversation amongst fans, not for mudslinging and name calling and bashing them because we may disagree on certain things, or something petty like if they like the MCU. And do you even know if he does? I think not.
I mean, seriously, things have been going real well here, even if there are disagreements. Don't spoil it all by sinking to the level of an internet troll. Be better than that.
what concerns me is the movie is supposed to come out in March 2020 and its November 25 2019 and ive seen jack crap for legit info
Ummm yeah no, evolution is a tree not a ladder Marvel-tard.
Evolution doesn't have a goal is a series of random mutations that are sorted out by natural selection and speciation, without our large brains the human is a weak and defenseless animal. Humans are an oddity not an end goal, there is no end goal to evolution except extinction. Eventually humans will become extinct, especially with humanities growing reliance of technology.
Microbal life is far more adaptable than a human, can a human grow stronger after being torn apart? No they become a cripple. If you cut a microbes in half they repair themselves into more microbes. you poison a human most of the time a human will die from poison, sure sometimes a human will build up an immunity but that is not passed to the next generation. Microbes on the other hand pass their poison immunities to the next generation.
Can a human adapt to boiling water or acid? No, but microbes can!
You are under the false sense that all life is suppose to evolve into humans, which is absolutely dumb. All life adapts to their own evolutionary paths depending on their environments and sometimes overlaps or even repeats to achieve similar but NOT the same morphs.
Humans are also not that special, humans are essentially primates that have a society similar to ants and bees without becoming eusocial.
In my extinction scenario how are humans going to survive with our current technology? Half of Humanity starves to death due to a eruption super volcano or a meteror strike? With most vaccines and antibotics becoming less and less effective each year it makes you think that maybe we won't be able to fight off these super bugs anymore. Combine that with the cataclysm and the logistics of the cataclysm.... I will make a post about this
Humans the most adaptable species is a laugh, Homo sapiens sapiens have only been around for 200,000 years pretty young compared to most species. Those other animals that went extinct were gradual most through competition, evolution into new species, or like you said unable to adapt to an ever changing environment.
Homo sapiens sapiens barely survived the ice age and we are a young species and not all that great, we have poor genetic diversity and should there be a major change to the environment humans will become extinct. Humans require a lot of food for their large brains, so in case a supervolcano or a meteror would strike.
Bye bye farms and without Farms, human population drops significantly. You can make the argument of in-door farms with nuclear powered plants keeping them up and running but humans would flock to these locations but the population would be bottlenecked then the slow killer happens; fewer and fewer children are born ever year in western countries who have access to these things and third world countries would severely be effect to no point of survival. Are you arguing that humans will be able to adapte and under go photosynthesis? Or evolve the ability to need less food under a short period of time?
The remaining human populations would be center in developed world countries while the rest of humanity dies off from starvation. Now can these remaining humans survive? Maybe, if they can hold on to their last remaining vestiges of technology they may slowly evolve to need less food but at the same time humans would slowly loose their sapience if we sacrifice energy for our brains and we slowly become just like any other animal.
If their technology doesn't hold out and the last nuclear power plants shut down to last spent fuel rod, the remaining humans would be doomed to starve to death.
Conclusion and TLDR: Humans demands more from the environment then most animals, sure alot of megafauna would die off along side us but as previous mass extinctions show us it is the smaller generalists that are the survivors, not big specialists and humans are specialists.
PS Roaches, Rodents, and Insects are better survivors than Humans
G. H. (Gman) "The only way to heal our wounds is to make peace with the demons who created them. I didn’t make it up, it was on a fortune cookie!" Writing like that is excellent imo.
I just watched KOTM. I can understand and agree with your points but.........I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Basically, it seemed to have three parts: Monster heavy with little or no character development, more character development and monsters took a back seat, and then a combo of both.
It was an interesting balance. I initially gave no craps about characters at first except for Dr Serizawa and COL Foster, but later on characters developed more and the two major deaths really carried some weight.
The monsters were given full props and shown in all their majesty as deserved, although I thought Mothra should have been more prominent somehow. Maybe it's because I always had a soft spot fr Mothra.
My gripes are typical- it felt very "Hollywood" and sappy at some points. The Military attacks were laughable (as always)- they only were successful in 1998, and the relationship baggage stuff seemed like just a reason to have human characters at all.
All said, it was a fun ride and I thank the forum for the recommendation to give it a shot!
That orga figure looks awsome!
Cute bois.
Well as long as we can disagree in a respectful, understanding manner, then I'm happy.
I really want this too. Finally, I will have a big enough Mothra to go toe to toe with my jakks Rodan!
@The Hooded Figure
"I’d argue that modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens, if you want to be technical) are the most adaptable species. It’s through our methods that we managed to achieve our current status - however beneficial or consequential it may have been to other species (extinct or living)."
Agreed.
Anyway, the purpose of this piece was really just me sharing some thoughts that have been running through my mind as of late. This is all purely from my perspective and thought process. I'm not necessarily saying all this is there, I'm just bringing up parallels that I drew myself.
And of course the MUTOs aren't the best kaiju in the franchise. They satisfied my tastes well enough back in 2014, but given half the chance, I could probably come up with a better antagonist. The whole thing about them being "bred for a modern audience" was really meant as a general statement regarding their design. Their aesthetics are a product of the times. That was what I was trying to say.
Dangit, if this had come with the larva they didn't put in the original I would have already preordered it. It is a somewhat expected but still awesome repaint though, but I'll have to think about getting this one.
*Makes an article about a NECA figure*
*Thumbnail shows an X-Plus Deformed figure*
All kidding aside, while it may not have been the most necessary of repaints, it still looks kinda cool regardless. I liked the aqua-green color Mothra had in the posters, and I wish they had used that in the film as opposed to the blue glow that she had.
Yeah, I would definitely prefer Steam... since I actually HAVE Steam lol
Why the Switch, why not on Steam?
Humans aren't actually adaptable, we merely force the environment to suit us rather than we adapt to the environment. Because if humans were adaptable you would see multiple species of humans rather than just one.
The munkey is cooked.
WHOOP DEE DOO! I BROKE MY ARM AGAIN!
Lol.
@Gmkgoji: Not quite sure if that's supposed to be a redesign or an original kaiju, but it's got the SpaceGodzilla shoulder crystals, so it's cool in my book. :P
@JurassicKaiju14: Huh, neat redesign. Personally I think I would have gone with a shorter snout, something like Ceratosaurus or Carnotaurus, but that's just me. Something about the legs really bugs me, I think either the shin is too long or the femur isn't long enough, it just looks awkward. I do like the idea of the color pattern though, that should be integrated into the movies someday, maybe something like young Godzilla have patterns that fade out with age or something.
Looks like Ghidorah finally found an easy meal on Earth. (Other than humans, of course.)
AWESOME!!!!!! I mean, clear victor hear, but AWESOME!!!!!
Nope, don't want anything spoiled! XD
Well that's a matchup that wouldn't last too terribly long...
Thanks! Do you have any questions?
