I hate to say it but for the price I paid for this set I am not to impressed with the video quality at all. I don't know if these were supposed to be remastered or restored or whatever the case, it looks to be just old untouched versions just on bluray. The color is a tad to strong and looks grainy. My classic media dvd set looks WAY better.

GojiFanPatGodzilla ForumThe change of Legendary Godzilla after Godzilla(2014) in Godzilla KOTM

 

2019 is bigger, his dorsal plates are different (MUTO Prime battle), he's faster, stronger, and intelligent, and even emotional. During the Boston fight, you can clearly see and hear Godzilla in pain, mostly through his high-pitched screeches after Ghidorah used his Gravity Beam Scattershot (Wing Attack), and when Ghidorah tried to absorb Mothra's energy from Godzilla. Side note, when Mothra was about to sacrifice herself, he seemed to look at her, knowing what she was about to do. After Mothra's death, he seemed to mourn her death, with him roaring twice, with the duration being short for each one, almost as if he was saying, "Moth-ra"

XenotarisGodzilla ForumGojiverse Phase II

Chapter 41: Mappo Part III

Gezora tighten its grasping tentacles around Bojangles, causing the intricate hydraulics to cease function. "Damage Critical!" the on-board computers blare its message to its pilots. Kamoebas slowly rises its head out of the water, the snapping turtle titan snarls as it inches closer to the bojangles. Gezora chirp-growls at his rival, dragging the jaeger with it, Kamoebas roars angrily as it lunges forward. Gezora smacks Kamoebas across the face with its tentacle; Kamoebas snaps its jaws at the tentacle, dragging it backwards. Gezora screams as its tentacle is bitten off; Kamoebas snaps its jaws finishing up the delicious tentacle before lunging towards Gezora for some more. Gezora releases the Bojangles, it then shoots its ink at Kamoebas before retreating underwater. The ink splatted on Kamoebas head, barely missing its eyes, Kamoebas roars in frustration before turning its gaze towards the Bojangles. It nudges the motionless hunk of metal, it turns around to make its way to the axe-headed kaiju carcass. Kamoebas sniffs the carcass, it recoils in disgust before biting off the beasts head then tossing the severed head towards the land.

Meanwhile... the Quake Danger slowly patrolled through the coastal waters. Manda exposes its back fins before submerging beneath the waves, Daisy reads a blip briefly appearing on her minimap interface. "Its here, look alive Lincoln" Daisy smiles at her partner as they both assume an attack pose. Manda bursts out of the water, its jaws snap close around the Quake Danger's neck-joint before coiling the rest of its body around the Jaeger like a boa constrictor. "Warning: Chest Damage! Left Leg Damage! Right Leg Damage! Right Arm Damage! Left Arm Damage!"

The Patriot Avenger bolts up to the Quake Danger, it deploys its sword then slices downwards. The sword clashes against Manda's thick hide, doing little more then chipped a few of top layer scales. Manda constricts itself tighter around the Quake Danger, the Patriot Avenger attempts to hit the creature again with their sword but to no effect. "Listen we are going to try something else" Patriot Avenger's pilot Jeff Rogers reassured.

"Make it quick, the Quake Danger is about to be an empty soda can in a moment!" Daisy shouted through the radio.

The Patriot Avenger retracted their blade, the right hand rearranges itself into a pulse cannon. Jeff and his copilot motion their Jaeger forward, Jeff and his co-pilot both raise their right hand then plunge the pulse cannon point blank into Manda then fired. Manda hissed as its scales and flesh were being burned away from each consecutive shot fired. Manda uncoiled itself from the Quake Danger before retreating back into the water. The Quake Danger slowly begins stand as the redundant systems kick on, "Thanks for saving us" said Lincoln.

"Yeah, you two own us one" said Jeff's co-pilot, Christina Ikari, "You are lucky that wasn't Godzilla...." a loud roar could be heard calling from the distance, "Jeff, its a Spinotitanosaurus"

"I was waiting for this bastard to show up, hey Quake Danger, whats your status?" Jeff asked.

"Systems are functional, we are ready for action" Daisy replied.

"Good to hear," Jeff replied as the two jaegers position themselves to face the incoming titan, the water surface bulges as a fleshy red sail accompanied by a pair of red fins sticks out of the water like a shark. The bulge then suddenly stops, the jaegers pilots watch intently as its long red reptilian tail rises out of the water. The fleshy fin then begins to rise up in the air as the water bulge reveals more and more of the creature's body, the creature stood on two large powerful legs, its long forelimbs were tucked under its torso as the creature stretched its long neck out. The beasts head resembled a crocodiles but its eyes were deep with in its skull and to the sides rather on top and sticking out like true crocodilians; its scalp was adorn with a large fin-like structure that goes down the creatures neck, sailback, and tail. Spinotitanosaurus or more common known as Titanosaurus.

Titanosaurus sniffs the jaeger units, Quake Danger took the initiative to attack first. "Quake Reverberators, activate!" Daisy shouted, the Quake Danger's gauntlets turn on; emitting a low hum. Daisy and Lincoln throw their right fist forward, the gauntlets then begin to bombard the red titan with sonic waves. Titanosaurus open its jaws to below a crocodilian-like hiss, Daisy smirks before her and her co-pilot intensifies the Quake Danger's sonic weapon's potency. Titanosaurus is thrown back beneath the waves, then the creature smacks its tail violently against the water before flaring up its fins as it sharply inhales, its chest inflates from the additional air it sucked in. Then the Titanosaurus bursts out of the water with its jaws gaped open as it releases a powerful sonic beam from its jaws. The water parted as the wave forced both jaegers to stumble backwards, the sonic wave continued past the mechs as it eventually made landfall; causing a landslide.

"What the hell..." Daisy's eyes widen, "Jeff, does that SHIELD of yours do anything?"

"Yes, but I think it would be unwise for us to throw it right now" Jeff replied

"Who says you have to throw it" Daisy replies

"You mean bash it in the face? That's a multibillion dollar weapons platform and you want us to smack a 140 ft tall spinosaurus with it?" Christina asked rhetorically.

"These jaegers are a multibillion dollar weapons platform, Whats your point!" Daisy retorted.

"Ladies, please were in the middle of a fight!" Lincoln tries to butt in, Daisy darted her gaze at her co-pilot before glancing over at the visual feed. Titanosaurus was approaching fast. Daisy and Lincoln direct their jaeger's arms up to fire a double sonic wave into the red spinosaurid. Titanosaurus slammed one of its claws on to the Quake Danger's sonic gauntlets before snapping its jaws around the other arm. The Patriot Avenger bolts towards the Titanosaurus, raising their sword up to slice into the beast. The beast splashes its tail around in the water, its fins on the apex of its tail starts to generate strong waves to throw the Patriot Avenger off balance. Titanosaurus lifts the Quake Danger up out of the water as the beast now stretches its legs out to their fullest extent. 

The Quake Danger flails around, Daisy and Lincoln use their jaeger's free arm to emit a sonic wave into the base of the Titanosaurus's throat. The Titanosaurus releases the Quake Danger's sonic gauntlet from its jaws, the red beast was belching and chocking. The Patroit Avenger throws their rocket SHIELD at the titan, the SHIELD opens up to fire a barrage of missiles and sabot rounds into the dinosaurian kaiju. Titanosaurus roars in pain before collapsing beneath the waves, the SHIELD flies back to its master, the red sail bursts from the waves in retreat.

Ebirah greats the Quake Danger and the Patriot Avenger, a loud distant howl shrieked across the whole of Earth. Ebirah quickly retreats beneath the waves, "Where do they think he's going?" Lincoln asked.

"Ummm Lincoln," Daisy was pointing at the monitor, "There are two moons in the sky" the earth's moon and the new moon were hanging in complete opposite sides of the visible late afternoon sky. Daisy stared at the new moon, a brief flashes of images appeared in her mind: Desolation, windy arid valleys, a swarm of lesser ghidorahs flying in dark stormy clouds, Lord X and the Xillien Council, the red glowing eyes of Monster X, and three golden serpents of radiant light flare open their toothy maws. Daisy's nose began to bleed, "What was that?" she asked to herself.

"All Jaeger units are to return immediately, if you can't, use your emergency ejection pod and we will retrieve your Jaegers later" Fury barked his orders through the radio. 

Sometime later...

The jaeger pilots along with the other monarch agents gathered in a room, Nick Fury took a seat, "You may take a seat, its not look good out there. here look at this latest satellite image" An image of Planet X came up on screen. The following images were closeups to the golden planet, Daisy's eyes widen but she remained silent. "This is the Xillien Homeworld, Planet X. My predecessor sent a joint American-Japanese space venture to X back in the mid 1960's, back in those times we were lead to believe the Xilliens were a peaceful race. They said King Ghidorah stripped their planet of life, they asked if they could borrow our strongest titans. The only Godzilla that was active was code-named GZ-03 Showa, the other titan was one of the smaller rodans. Big mistake, the Xilliens after seeing the destructive power of both Godzilla and Rodan decided to graft their mind-controlling devices on to their heads" Fury clicks the clicker as an image of the old Xillien council picture is displayed on the screen, "Funny looking guys, aren't they. They look like us outside those goofy uniforms and water-goggles. We later found an infiltrator and interrogated the xillien spy which provided us the intel on how to disable the xillien's mind controlling devices. We also learned the xilliens have been trying to lay claim to earth for millions of years, they have been collecting and altering themselves ever since but each time they send in a new incarnation of Ghidorah; it was destroyed by the Earth's Titans, almost as if the Earth has its own natural defense system. The Xilliens got impatient and sent a whole swarm of ghidorahs to earth on a meteor, the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs was actually a xillien weapons platform"

The images change to several xillien autopsies images, "Our scientists recovered these xilliens spies a few years later, after we executed them, we dissected them to see what made them tick. I know its hard to swallow but we needed to know what we were dealing with, fears of an alien invasion forced us to take drastic measures. We found out the xilliens weren't so human-like after all, the xilliens wear living-synthetic skin to blend in with humans. Without this suit, the xilliens would stand out: Golden scales, tail, and horns" Fury looked over at Daisy. The image changes to Monster X, "Kaiser Ghidorah, a religious figure in the xillien faith. Fortunately we only encountered a weak incarnation of this being, we believe the xilliens are working hard to make a stronger one" the image changes to a hieroglyphic of three serpents slithering out a dark star while devouring a planet, "This image, I can't make sense of it, some snake things eating a moon I guess"

"Is that a hieroglyphic?" Agent Simmons asked.

"Yes, Atlantean" Fury added.

"WARNING: TITAN Class V. Los Angeles.... GZ13-Shin" the computer announced.

"GZ13?" Daisy asked.

"Onscreen" Fury ordered.

The CCTV camera switch on as they scan the coasts for any signs of titans. One camera locks on to a titanic sized aquatic salamander, swallowing a nuclear submarine whole in a very snake-like fashion. "What the hell is that thing" Mack squints his eyes at the screen while raising his voice.

"Dios mio, no me gusta!" Agent Rodriguez exclaimed

"Its a Godzilla" Coulson comments.

"They sure keep getting uglier" Mack retorts

"I thought Godzilla was a reptile" Lincoln was confused.

"They are, but Shin Godzilla is more of an evolutionary throwback of some sorts to amphibians" Agent Ziggy added.

The puke tan godzilla starts to grow in size as its tan skin starts to redden as its gains an upright stance, soon its skin completely darkens as it reaches its maximum size parameters. Its tiny arms extend to their maximum length, it awkwardly squeezes itself between the tall skyscrapers, its googly eyes blankly stare down at the fleeing residents. Shin Godzilla continues to stare at them fleeing to the kaiju bunkers. Shin Godzilla exhales, the background radiation intensifies as he takes more steps into the city. Following behind it was a swarm of Shingodzillans of varying sizes ranging from 140 ft (60m) tall to 7 ft (2.5m) tall. Several helicarriers position themselves above Shin Godzilla, the helicarrier captains hover over their technicians shoulders before issuing the order to fire upon the kaiju. Soon Shin Godzilla was surrounded by black smoke from the helicarriers sabot rounds, quinjets and F-16s take off the helicarrier runways to engage the threat. 

"Okay, looks like its one of them freaks again. God can't humanity catch a break?" Lt. Walter Lawson expresses his disdain for the titans.

"It doesn't help to complain, Lt. Lawson" Lt. Maria Rambeau retorts.

"Okay, knock off the chatter. Let's fry this overgrown lizard" Cpt. Carol Danvers leads her wing forward, their jets soar above the skyline. Their targeting systems lock on to Shin Godzilla, "Eagle 20, Fox 2!" Cpt. Danvers fires her missile into Shin's chest, the massive creature doesn't even flinch as Danvers and her wing fly pass the radioactive monster.

"Eagle 5, Fox 1!" Lt. Rambeau fires her missile into Shin's chin, still no reaction.

"Eagle 7, Fox 2!" Lt. Lawson fires his missile into Shin's spine, Shin Godzilla raises his head up to howl in pain. Its sores begin to illuminate a bright purple, "Looks like I got a reaction out of him" Lawson smirked. Shin Godzilla's eyes were suddenly covered by a third eyelid as it gaped its mouth open, a thick black blanket of smoke poured forth from its toothy maw, the smoke blanketed the streets of Los Angeles. Anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in the smoke would either die from asphyxiation or from its intense heat and the temperature was rising. The smoke suddenly caught fire as shin's lower jaw begins to split in twos before slowly flaring out like a snake; anyone who was on the streets who haven't succumb to the black smoke was soon scorched. The fire slowly shrank into a blue atomic fire before turning into focused purple laser beam. The beam cuts across the sky scrappers, the upper half of the builds slides from the severance point as they slip into the adjacent buildings. "Eagle 7, Fox 8!" Lt. Lawson fires his missile into Shin's eye, "Bullseye!" Shin directed that beam at Lawson, his F-16 was soon destroyed and his body atomized.

"Captain, we lost Lt. Lawson!" Lt. Rambeau eyes widen at the destruction Shin wrought on their comrade.

"Son of a bitch!" Captain Danvers curses, "Lt. Rambeau, we are going hot, lets give it everything we got!"

"Roger, Captain Danvers" Lt. Rambeau fires her missiles and her small rounds into Shin Godzilla, Shin Godzilla raises its tail, the apex fires the same purple laser beam out of its 'mouth'. Lt. Rambeau's wing is slice clean off of her F-16, she quickly ejects before her jet collides into a nearby building; The building is engulf into flames. GYAOOOOOONNNNNN!!! Shin Godzilla roared victoriously.

"Lt. Rambeau! No!" Cpt. Danvers watched helplessly as she lost her last wingman. "This is Eagle 20, this is Eagle 20. I am locked in and ready to deliver the pain" Cpt. Danvers turned her F-16 around in a sharp side ways turn. Everything seem to move in slow-motion as she approached the beasts head, she was breathing heavily as she saw its massive eye over her cockpit. She glared deep into Shin Godzilla's eye before looking forward then making another sharp turn towards its spines. She fires all of her missiles into its back, smiling with murderous glee while doing it. "You attack my city! Killed my friends! Now I take your life.... you son of..." Shin Godzilla's spines begin to glow purple, a purple energy aurora surrounds the spines before discharging a purple beam into the sky. Taken by surprise Cpt. Danvers reacted by dodging the first beam, then came the second beam, she dodged. Then a third beam which missed, then a fourth beam which also missed. Danvers navigated behind one of the skyscrappers as the sixth and seventh spines twist and flex to direct their beams into slicing the skyscrappers in two, "Holy shit!" Danvers cursed as the sky-scrappers came crashing down into streets and all around her jet fighter. Captain Danvers looked back and saw the rest of the F-16s and quinjets being shot out of the sky by Shin Godzilla's back beams. The helicarriers all mobilize into shooting Shin Godzilla but Shin Godzilla makes short work of the helicarriers. Captain Danvers flies her F-16 above the next block only for her jet's instruments to suddenly die on her, she quickly ejects out of her fighter before it collides into the streets into a ball of inferno. A massive creature flies past her, making a bizarre chirp roar. Captain Danvers directed her parachute towards an overpass before landing safely, she removes her flight helmet before looking up. A massive head stared down at her, broad reptilian snout on a square head with tiny yellow eyes. the rest of the creature came into view, maple-leaf shaped spines on its back, thick forelimbs and legs. It was Godzilla-Legend.

"I believe the quote above is meant to represent the civilizational aspect of humanity, not the evolutional sense. Kind of like Ancient Rome’s (Western Roman Empire, to be precise) collapse with the people who lived in its domain and continued to exist until their gradual absorption by barbarian kingdoms that rose to dominance."

 

That still implies humans were not wiped out by Godzilla

Just members of the genus of Homo. Chimpanzees, Bonobos, Gorillas, and Orangutans are to be spared. Gibbions are hominoids so they are even further from being related to humans, so they should be spared as well.

Gomi: Ninja MonsterGodzilla ForumIs MV Godzilla a inherently pro-nuclear metaphor?

G.H. (Gman):

Gosh dangit what did I say about deescalating the situation? *sigh*

What I was saying is that comic books and stories, especially science fiction and science fantasy, will latch on to whatever new science comes along, regardless if the extrapolations they make turn out to be wrong later on. For example, Blue Beetle, Hourman and Underdog used pills to gain their powers because vitamins and steroids were the hot new thing. Radiation, at the time, was just another new toy in the toybox for writers. The point was rarely to promote positive views on those things, just to give a serviceable explanation as to why heroes had powers regular people did not so they could get on with the story.

"And like I said before, these aren't just mindless, one-point backlashes with no real reason behind it. These are well-thought, highly intellectual backlashes reasons."

No offense... but that kinda seems like patting yourself on the back lol. They are, but... I wouldn't say "highly intellectual" though. I mean... have any of us actually made "highly intellectual" points? I mean, that last sentence as a whole doesn't make much sense to me, but then again, I am really sleepy so my brain isn't working as well as it should... even when it does, it's not exactly  the best of brains a person could have... Yes Gomi, I am sleepy. I am always incredibly sleepy. I suck at sleeping, which is part of the reason I'm so lazy and sleepy all the time. Also, even when I do get enough sleep... I'm in a perpetual state of sleepiness lol. Think a sloth or koala, but fish. Halibut? Stingray? Angel Shark? I don't know.

 

"Yeah, but the key word is once. And they never mention it in the movies, so that argument is in vain, at best."

 

Why is that in vain? 

 

"First of all, let's not end this because there is still much more needed to be discussed. And second, Godzilla's whole point is to be anti-nuclear, so if course there is going to be some backlash towards him becoming pro-nuclear, and those backlashes have plenty of reasons, so they aren't just mindless, one point arguments, so don't make that excuse."

 

First of all, I think we maybe should end this, because I don't think any of us are going to convince one another on our points, because a lot of it is opinionated. Also, the thing about debating is it makes you entrenched in your own beliefs that you aren't likely to change our beliefs on this matter in a single discussion. Second of all, as we keep saying, he's not really becoming pro-nuclear. That point about "A victim of nuclear power doing good does not make the core message pro-nuclear," is true, but that also means the same applies here. This time, Godzilla isn't really a victim of radiation as much of a byproduct. So if doing something doesn't change his overall theme, and if he was portrayed as completely neutral that just so happened to do "good" by killing the mutos, then he isn't pro-nuclear. He's neutral towards it at best? Worst? I don't know. The same as how being creatures that are inherently neutral/ just wanting to reproduce, but feeding on radiation and accidentally hurting humans in the process wouldn't make Mutos anti-nuclear. So this point essentially helps prove the MV Godzilla still wouldn't really be pro-nuclear. 

 

"Yeah, but it doesn't mean you can do that if the character is anti-nuclear, like Godzilla"

Um... you can. Not that you should, but by your own logic, they can without too much bad. If it's ok for the "pro-nuclear" to show some anti-nuclear points, it should be ok for anti-nuclear to show some pro-nuclear points. So it'd be ok if this movie is somewhat pro-nuclear. Which it isn't really. 

 

"That's not even his character arc at all. Why are you trying so hard to win a losing battle?"

 

Why are you denying his character arc? That wasn't really the Hulk's character arc, yeah. IT WAS BRUCE BANNER'S!!! You know, the guy most affected by the radiation? The guy who tried so hard to get rid of the hulk, fearing the monster he had become? The guy that, no matter how hard he tried, was stuck as a monster because of how radiation changed him? Did you... pay attention to what Bruce Banner was afraid of in the Avengers of comics?

 

"If that was the case, then you should remember that at the time, the word alien meant something like the Martians from War of the Worlds, not a humanoid from another planet. Again, it goes against your argument."

 

What? How does that go against his argument at all? The design of the alien- No, that doesn't change the overarching theme. He was supposed to be a superhero people can relate to, which is why he looks human, but is an ALIEN so that he can have the powers he does. The sun was just thrown in LATER as an excuse for his powers, not "radiation being an overarching theme."

 

 

The main message in KOTM is environmental, and less about the radiation aspect. Hell, they showed that the creatures that were all born of radiation, the Titans, were destroying almost everything. They showed that places they went through became uninhabitable for people. They showed that soon, the human race will be extinct because of these radioactive, god like creatures. It was only at the end that they calmed down and just... roam and sleep. The reason Godzilla was "good" was A. So that people can relate to him, and perhaps a more subtle theme, B. that really, radioactive power is neutral. It's how it's used. Most of the titans are really indifferent towards humans. They only become aggressive towards us when Ghidorah wakes them up, or when attacked by people, like Rodan. They become calm under a calmer alpha, like Godzilla, and actually can do a little good for the environment, just under the right circumstances. However, they will always be neutral. No matter how much "good" they do, they don't really care at all about it. It's all just a byproduct. Why else did they keep reiterating that Godzilla is a neutral force? That he won't ALWAYS be doing "good" or be on our side? It's a movie showing that radiation can be used for GOOD and BAD, but it's really just neutral. It doesn't do bad unless used for such or someone does something well intended, but stupid with it (Titans woken up by Ghidorah= nuclear warfare and Rodan destroying the fighter jets after being attacked=experimenting with radiation or nuclear power plant disasters). It doesn't do GOOD unless someone specifically uses it for good, or it accidentally does something a little good by being around (Mothra saving people and being fairly non-lethal to humans=nuclear power plants doing some good, like supplying us with a possibly preferable alternative to oil, and the accidental good by being around, but still doing some accidental damage=Godzilla fighting Kaiju and inadvertently helping humans, but also destroying their homes and leaving their cities desolate at the same time). So really, it's not a pro-nuclear Godzilla movie as much as it is a neutral-nuclear Godzilla movie or whatever you want to call it. 

 

"So if that's the case, then where's the horror movie about sticky notes or paper? See why your argument doesn't work here?"

First of all, paper wasn't new when movies were invented. Second of all, WTF? That doesn't disprove the argument at all. Third of all, you are missing the core concept of science fiction, that they're usually showing the future benefits or horrors of new technologies or ideas. That's what I think Gomi was referencing. Fourth of all, it isn't always in HORROR movies, or even movies in general, it's usually in Scifi novels.
