I'll let the release of the trailer surprise me as well. Otherwise it's just beating a dead horse.
Not gonna lie, but I think Godzilla 1998's design was R A D. But I don't view him as Godzilla, rather, I call him GINO. Zilla Junior was definetely worthy of the name Godzilla, but I prefer calling him Toon-zilla.
Well, I mean, disasters have always had a way of affecting the whole country, like Pearl Harbor or 9/11. I mean, no disrespect to either disaster, they were tragedies of immense proportions, but imagine what a disaster, like, the destruction of one of the most populated and well known cities of America and it being uninhabitable for thousands of years, as well as most of the population dying from an illness brought from the disaster. Especially when the military was POWERLESS to stop it. Remember the panic that gripped the country after 9/11? Imagine that, except multiplied by at least 5. I mean, what would you feel if a giant creature destroyed New York, killed almost all of its residents, left it uninhabitable, the military couldn't stop it, and no one knows where it is?
That was one hecc of a comment.
I do agree there, but I liked the movie the way it was, it was fine. I don't know if the disaster would effect ALL of America, though. Maybe just near NY.
I don't really know what I'm saying here oof
Perhaps if Godzilla 1998 didn't have Roland Emmerick as its director and maybe lets say Steven Spielberg it would have touched on those classic Godzilla themes
Honestly, I agree with you Xenotaris. It was ALMOST worthy of the Godzilla name. Zilla Junior was more worthy of it, because it was an anti-hero, a smart, but animalistic creature, and incredibly durable, taking super weapons to kill him. It's why Godzilla was so horrible in the original, he couldn't be killed by conventional weaponry, bringing up everything with the oxygen destroyer (the fear of what came next). Honestly, I LOVE Zilla's design, but her movie... no. Not a Godzilla. This is coming from someone who would treat Shin Form 2 as an actual Godzilla if it was the only form for the whole movie. Zilla's movie, however, was awful if you treat her as Godzilla, in my opinion. It doesn't really follow the original theme, because A. It really downplayed the radiation deal. Maybe if they show the effects of her radiation on New York, it would be a good movie, enough to consider her a Godzilla. It would really give some added horror to Zilla, and make her a GODzilla. However, there is no side affect to her radiation, so a lot of the added horror is already gone. Can't be killed unless by a super weapon that may possibly bring about an even worse era of warfare? Nope. I mean, it wasn't necessary to have something like the oxygen destroyer. They can just have her get away and go into hibernation, or wreak havoc in the world, or do a poison or chemical thing like in Shin Godzilla. However, missiles? Missiles? 2 friggin missiles killed her... Not only did she not release radiation... not only did she not cause any irreversible damage to New York... she wasn't even all that hard to kill? Seriously? Though, to give some credit, the asexual reproduction thing was probably the "big danger," but all that did was provide excuses to create scenes "inspired by" (copies of) scenes from Jurassic Park. And even with that replacement of it, it still didn't really cause any real harm to New York, nothing that could have made you really fear for New York. Just to reiterate what would have happened if they made it so Zilla was constantly releasing radiation like in 1954, the damage to AT LEAST the areas she went through would be IRREVERSIBLE. Imagine what happened to Tokyo into 1954, but in New York, and worse because the creature was fast and could cover more ground, and it can burrow and make the radiation seep into the very earth beneath the city. New York would be effectively destroyed, many would slowly die from radiation poisoning, the survivors would be bankrupt and have to leave New York forever, one of the most populated and well known cities in America would be destroyed. If they went that route, they could have had Zilla destroy the Statue Of Liberty to foreshadow what will happen to New York and how America will react. They could have gone a step further and shown how this has affected the rest of America, and the rest of the world. I mean, it could have gotten to the point of, and maybe even worse than all the emotions we felt as a nation after 9/11 (not to disrespect what happened there at all). This time, there was no possible way we could defeat the creature, and we had no idea where it is. We would just have to live with the ever-looming threat of Godzilla for years and years, waiting for her to arise yet again... Perfect sequel material! Next time maybe put her in San Francisco, or Houston, or just anywhere in the world! Maybe have her have some offspring (maybe not 40,000, probably more like 2-10) in between and have them cause more havoc. Maybe we attack with experimental weapons and kill them, BUT THEN WE CREATE MORE KAIJU!!!! It would be like we dug our own grave more! And then the original Godzilla comes and kills them, basically being an anti-hero. I mean, it could have been the American version of Godzilla, but they messed it up horribly with one main fault. They downplayed the whole threat of radiation and nuclear warfare. The radiation itself was the scary thing, not the creature. It kept the origin similar, but it got wrong what made Godzilla great. The fact that even without the creature, a similar result can be reached by our own hands. It was a cautionary tale not of creating a giant monster, but of becoming the monsters ourselves and causing irreparable damage to others with nuclear power. But here the main threat was just impossibly big iguana, not the all to real ramifications of nuclear power. Seriously, that little bit would have saved them money on CGI, and made the movie MUCH better. Just make the creature release radiation. That's it. It'll be a horror of astronomical proportions with that little bit. Especially since that actually CAN happen in real life. It's what made the original Godzilla so great. The scary part wasn't what was imaginary. It was what was real.
Sorry if that sounded like a ramble, but that's basically why I don't consider Zilla a Godzilla. It's not her appearance, not her odd abilities or lack there of. It's the fact that A. the movie itself was pretty bad and B. it lacked the fundamental aspect of Godzilla. Hell, it didn't even say or do anything meaningful to anywhere the extent that most Godzilla movies do, like GMK or Shin Godzilla. I mean, the radiation was very much downplayed in GMK, and in Shin Godzilla it was an incredible threat until they realized in the end it had a very short half-life (Yay! people can go back in a couple years instead of thousands! Happy(er) ending!), but at least they had stuff of SOME importance to say and made it clear what they wanted to say. I mean, at least in the Monsterverse, despite possibly being pro-nuclear and mainly being action flicks, had environmental messages, and showed the devastation the radiation had on San Francisco and Vegas and the such. Especially in 2014 with the MUTOs. 1998... it failed that, and had they done it right, it would have saved them money on CGI, and it would have made it the definitive first American Godzilla movie. Hell, it would be one of my favorites if they had simply just shown the devastation radiation had on New York, and hopefully the effects of the whole disaster on the rest of America.
I meant he copied Burning Godzilla.
Actually Monsterverse Godzilla shares more traits with the Showa Godzilla than Heisei with its design closely resembling early millennium godzilla.
The vastness of plots set by movies and of course the monsters, especially the ever changing design of the King of the Monsters.
Xenotaris,
No,it goes like this:
Showa:Doofy giant Aquatic Creature
Heisei:Popular Godzillasaurus which has a son (Godzilla Jr.)
Tristar:A Mutated and hated Iguana
Monsterverse:Copy of Heisei Godzlla (If you don't get it then i'll tell you why)
Reiwa:Kamata-Kun (Shin Godzilla),mutated Piranha Plant (Anime)
okay,then.
Godzilla's origins change with each series.
Showa = A mutated intermediate aquatic dinosaur
Heisei = A mutated Godzillasaurus (possibly a type of tyrannosauroid if not a tyrannosaurid)
Tristar = A mutated Marine Iguana
Millennium = A mutated dinosaur in most, a ghost of dead WWII sailors/victims in GMK
Monsterverse = A naturally evolved radioactive dinosauromorph
Reiwa = A mutated unknown aquatic lifeform (Shin Godzilla) and a naturally evolved plantanimal god (Anime Godzilla)
Iguanas are cool I think
He's a giant iguana!
I love Godzilla 1998's design. Sure she is not a traditional Godzilla. As I get older I also come to love all of the Godzilla's designs. Each series has its own rendition of the character, too bad Tristar Godzilla never got to shine in its own movie series but I guess that is why we have the animated series.
Showa's Godzilla was initially a tragic monster that suffered a mutation caused by atomic bomb testings and had to be put down by a WMD that was worse than the atomic bomb. Then latter became a guardian of the planet Earth in the second and third decade of the showa series.
Heisei's Godzilla returned to its villian roots its in debut film and gradually transformed into an anti-hero of sorts.
Tristar's Godzilla returns to its roots as a tragic monster mutated by atomic testing. Rather than being a dinosaur mutated by american nuclear bombs out in the pacific, it was a Marine Iguana mutated by french nuclear bomb testings out in the Atlantic. This Godzilla was going for a more naturalistic depiction of Godzilla.
Millenium's Godzilla stuck with the anti-hero with its first two movies only to have him swap roles with King Ghidorah in GMK. The next two millenium movies pit him up against mechagodzilla before returning him to his role as antihero in Godzilla Final Wars.
Monsterverse's Godzilla return to Godzilla's later showa roots as a guardian and a fan-service to the Japanese Godzilla with top notch American special effects.
Reiwa's Godzilla went back to its tragic monster roots but amplified its powers considerably and again in the anime trilogy.
Phase 4 is already here.
IDW comics Godzilla can probably survive Thanos's snap
I'm so sorry, but you gotta watch it. I can't help myself.
Sonic the Hedgehog, Trailer
www.youtube.com › watch
oh,well.
I kinda think of him as Zilla, but I don't really care. I think he's cool.
Gino refers to "Godzilla in name only"
They took the "God' out of "Godzilla"
I view 98 Godzilla as GINO, not Zilla.
What he said, or typed since we can't hear each other's voices.
Eh, whatever...
I have my opinion, you have yours.
If you don't watch it, then you're not a true godzilla fan. Also, the 1998 Godzilla movie SUCKED. One of the people that worked on it said that they took a jewel and turned into dust. They took him as they thought he really was, an animal acting on instinct.
Too far to- neutral doesn't seem like goody two shoes to me, but difference of opinion I guess.
Play this every minute*
Scified won't let me edit for some reason, so putting this here.
Man, if I were a gambler, I'd play this lol. But I get addicted to stuff easily, especially video games so... for my own financial well being, I probably won't play it lol
Then it just takes itself too far to Godzilla being a good guy again. And then we'll have another incident like the later Showa Era in which Godzilla isn't cool anymore because they made him look like something meant for little kids again.
The 2020 wasn't in E3, so I would take that with a grain of salt.
These kinds of topics and discussions really show how us fans might be fans of the same franchise but for different reasons. Some might consider the human plot, the action or the amount of kaiju screen time more in their overall view of the movie.
For me, the reason why I love KOTM is because of its portrayal of the Kaiju (which is also one of the main reasons I love this genre in general) and how they were reimagined for a new audience. Both the beauty and the terror of these creatures which might as well be gods. Whilst I agree with the problems people might have about the human plot, they were as well developed as most secondary characters because, in my eyes, the kaiju are the main characters and they were impressively characterized in this movie.
I don´t think any marvel charecter can beat Godzilla.He´s to strong.
I grew up playing Destroy all monsters and Save the Earth so those are my favorite and I think objectively pretty close to the top in terms of quality for the time of their release.
If you want to just turn your brain off and enjoy the spectacle sure.
While I do respect your Opinion The Hooded Figure, I must respectfully disagree, as I believed that KOTM was a good movie. Sure, there were parts that we all could've done differently, but overall, i feel like Mike Dougherty did a good job and provided the fans with enough monster action for ONE movie. I'd honestly prefer KOTM to be split into two movies, since there were so many kaiju to fit into one movie
Interesting.... I honestly don't have as much knowledge of the MCU other than what the movies give us, but I'd honestly have to dive deeper into the MCU to find out, since Phase 4 is rapidly approaching. Id have to say that Thanos might be able to take him on, but with his armor and infinity gauntlet on, since Im pretty sure Thanos' armor protects him from cosmic threats
Chapter 40: Mappo Part II
Copenhagen, Denmark. November 6th 2019.
A large shadow blanketed the sandy seafloor of the baltic sea, a creature resembling a triops stood over the buried remains of reptilicus. It uses its front claws to unbury the severed leg, the leg of reptilicus floated up, released from its sandy prison. The creature stared at it intensively before bestowing it with atomic "G-Energy". The clawed toes began to twitch, gradually it began to rebuild its body after 58 years of inactivity, soon Reptilicus will reign terror over the people of Denmark once again.
English Channel, England.
Orga and Gorgo return from the hollow earth to the surface world, drawn by the sounds of their new Alpha, Thanatos.
Western Norway
A pack of subterranean trolls were feasting on a group of unfortunate campers, a lone bridge troll cries could be heard in the distance. The round, fat, hairy, and long nosed subterranean trolls ignore it as they continue their feast, the lower ranking members of the pack growl at each other as they fought over the scraps. Then came a loud roar, this drew the attention of the subterranean trolls. It was the roar of Mountain Troll, among trolls subterranean trolls were the smallest being round 9 to 10 ft tall or 3 meters in height. Bridge Trolls or Forest Trolls are roughly 15 ft tall or 4.5 meters tall. A Mountain Troll 60 meters tall or a 150 ft tall and this particular individual was encroaching on the subterranean troll's territory; having just snacked on a bridge troll. It ignores the subterranean trolls as it was being drawn closer to civilization, the mountain troll has heard the calls of its alpha, Thanatos.
Alaska
A pack of Rhedosaurus claw their way out of a freshly melted permafrost that once buried the arctic's hollow-earth entrance, the rhedosauruses were drawn by the call of their alpha, the collectively roar back before embarking on their long journey to the south of the arctic circle.
Earth Orbit, various.
The xillien flagship the Kunsanagi deploys six additional space-pods to the blue planet below, while Cykor and Yonggary's pods land in South Korea. The pod that struck New York City began to hiss as its sides crack open revealing its occupant, giant feathery wings spring out of the pod before the creature rose its long featherless neck; La Carcagne, a vulture-like alien creature from a distant planet. The alien bird sings a song to its alpha, Super Godzilla.
A space-pod splashes down off the coast of Los Angeles, it quickly sinks to the bottom. a green light emits from the cold waters. Kraa's head breaks through the water surface, CROAK! the frog alien titan obeys the command of his alpha, Super Godzilla before making its way to the Santa Monica beach to begins its attack.
The midnight sky lights up as a space-pod crash lands out in the middle of the Mojave desert in Arizona. Out of the pod emerged a black spiky reptilian alien titan, Zarkorr. Graaaaaahhhhluuunnnhhh, it roared its battle readiness to its alpha, Space Godzilla.
Two space-pods soar like a falling star across the mid-noon skies of South Korea, the pods exploded releasing two reptilian titans of great power: Cykor, an armored multi-limped alien reptile and Yonggary, an alien genetically engineered dinosaur. Both titans roar to acknowledged the call of their alpha Super Godzilla and soon begin their rampage and desolation of Seoul.
Several space-pods crash lands in various regions of Europe, Gyaos crawl out from their pods screaming as their lungs adapt to the earth's oxygen rich atmosphere. Then a final set of space-pods crash lands on the outskirts of Moscow, Russia, giant bat-like wings flare out of the pod as the rest of it climbs out. Gryphon and his eagle-winged griffions ignore Super Godzilla's calls as they spread their wings to take flight.
Israel, Arabian Peninsula
The giant Ape titan Chaos approaches the jewish state, intent on destroying it for funthees. A roar called its warning to the great and terrible ape, the Israel Airforce flew into formation around their newly awakened guardian, Golem, a crab titan. Chaos pounded his chest as he growls at the massive crab titan, Golem snaps his pincers in turn. Chaos grabs a boulder before leaping towards the upper carapace of Golem, Golem extend his pincers out and clamps down on chaos leg whilst the primate was still in midair. Chaos screams hysterically as his body mass collides with the ground, Golem drags sideways before extending his other pincer to clamp down on Chaos's arm. Golem lifted the primate up with all of his might before tossing Chaos into Palestine's west bank. Golem begins to charge up his antennae, Chaos slowly recovers from his fall; mud building debris covering his brown fur as well as remains of the people who lived in them. Chaos stood up to face his opponent only to feel a coursing electrostatic induced pain through his body, he was hit by Golem's static beam; his fur smoked as he recoiled and twitched from the pain. Golem slowly made his way down to the west bank, snapping his pincers, the Israel Airforce broke-away as before treading into Palestinian airspace.
Chaos stubbornly climbs back to his feet, breathing very heavily, and parts of his fur was now sporting bald spots; Golem's chirps taunted the great ape, however Chaos had one trick up his furry sleeves. Chaos quickly leaped in the air on to the palms of his hands, Chaos's hand stand confuses Golem to the point of the crab titan halting his advances. Then Chaos quickly rips a juicy toxic fart cloud, before leaping back onto his feet to make his escape. The Palestine soon fall to the ground dead as the gas cloud reaches them, Golem snaps its pincers to disperse the toxic cloud. Golem groans as he returns home.
Egypt, Africa
Chaos retreats down the Gaza strip as he sprints across the Egyptian border. The Egyptian Airforce could do little to stop this massive beast from cross into their country once again. Chaos swipes the jet fighters out of the sky as if they were flies, Chaos roars as the Egyptian army rolled out their tanks. Chaos growls as the tanks fire a barrage of sabot rounds into his furry ankles, he kicks one of the tanks into a building while crushing its partner into the road with his foot. The tank convoy begin to retreat but their fates were sealed, Chaos picked up the tanks one by one and threw them into the jet fighters. Chaos turns his attention to the city of Cairo, it was there the source of the jets and tanks come from.
Wakanda, Africa
The Kingdom of Wakanda was an ancient one, it is said its as ancient as Atlantis and Mu. Among their native pantheon gods they also worship Turkana, a panther titan that dwells in the secluded mountains of wakanda. A wakandan fisherman was out fishing in the Lake of Turkana, when all the sudden a great ripple resonated from the lake's watery depths. The fisherman look down from his boat into the dark waters, fish bursts out of the water onto his boat squirming around desperately. A terrible sound roared across the lake as the fisherman suddenly found himself looking towards Mt. Kulal and to his horror the mountain side suddenly collapsed. Soil, trees, and rocks came hurling down into the lake itself. The fisherman brought his old wrinkled hands to his face as his eyes widen in terror, he saw a large snout probing from within the mountain. The fisherman quickly began to row his boat back to his village, the beast caught on to his scent as it pulled the rest of itself out of the mountain. It had a large rectangular head, legs like a chicken, arms like an eagle's talons, the tail of a Nile Monitor Lizard, and had crocodile scales covering its entire body. To an educated man, they would called it a carcharodontosaurus. However it was far to massive to be such, "Goro, no not Goro!" the fisherman cried as the large dinosaur titan took a few steps closer to the edge of the lake. Gorosaurus planted its left foot into the lake then his right leg, the great gorosaurus was soon upon the fisherman's boat and with one mighty chomp; the fisherman and his boat were no more.
Monarch Hawaii Base
The remains of the axe-headed titan drew the attention of others, soon several titans were spotted on MONARCH's titan detection screens and were heading straight towards their base. "Multiple Titans: Ganimes, Kamoebas, Gezora, Manda, Shockirus, Ebirah, and Titanosaurus are approaching" the announcer stated.
Shockirus were the first to crawl upon the western shorelines, the man-sized shrimp-like titans swarmed over the kawaii island's beaches, a convoy of a Humvees with machine gun mounts rolled into to halt the crustacean swarm. Then came Ganimes and Ebirah swimming to the north-side of the island, Gezora and Kamoebas from the south-side, manda and titanosaurus from the east-side. "We are completely surrounded" Mack sat up from his seat, "Coulson, I think its time we get back into action"
Coulson looked at Agent Mack, "Get the others ready, lets show them how dangerous mankind can be"
"Yes sir" Agent Mack smiled as he mades his way to the jaeger hangar.
"Hallelujah" Agent Rodrigeuz said to herself as she joins Mack.
"Sounds like fun" Agent Bobbie smiles
"Let's kick some bloody monsters in their daddy bags" Agent Hunter joins in.
"Are you sure about this, Coulson?" Daisy asked concern, "we could all die like really horribly out there" Daisy nervously chuckled.
"Everthing is at stake here, humanity, earth, everything" Coulson replied.
"Come on Daisy, you aren't afraid of some waterbugs are ya?" Lincoln adds.
"No" Daisy retorted.
Sometime later, the Monarch Agents suit up as they begin to walk down the catwalk to their Jaegers. Mack and Rodriguez, Bobbie and Hunter, Daisy and Lincoln enter their Jaegers units. The hangar door slowly sides open as ocean water rushes in to the jaegers feet, the Quake Danger, Sprint Executioner, and the Bojangles takes their first steps out of the hangar. Mack and Rodriguez take the Sprint Executioner to the north side of the island, while Bobbie and Hunter take the Bojangles to the south, and Daisy and Lincoln take the Quake Danger further east.
The Sprint Executioner is suddenly ambushed by Ganimes, its pincers bury themselves deep into the jeagers legs. Rodriguez fires the Sprint Executioner's pulse cannon into the stone crab titan's face but ganimes pulls its pincer out of the jaegers leg to retreat underwater. "Rodriguez and Mack, you are loosing hydraulic pressure in your left leg" Fitzs radioes in over the radio.
"I know," Mack replied as he redirects the hydraulic fluids to their alternate pressure tubes.
Ganimes crawls along the bottom before bashing its pincers into the Sprint Executioner, the Sprint Excutioner then kicks the stone crab titan several feet backwards. Ganimes's body creates a big splash before it resurfaces again. "Yo-yo, lets boil this crab" Mack smiles at his co-pilot.
"Crab soup sounds wonderful" Rodriguez replies as she fires the pulse cannon at ganimes. Ganimes raises both his pincers up to shield its face against the pulse cannon blast, the stone crab titan is pushed further away; "Damn its not dead yet!" Rodriguez shouted.
"Deploy the sword, let's play Iron Chef" Mack ordered.
"Deploying Sword" Rodriguez replies as she reach for the weapons panel, she taps at the sword icon, the Sprint Executioner wrist compartment opens as a segmented series of blades flop around before straightening into a compact sword. "Time to cut this crab into Sushi" the Sprint Executioner sprint towards the crab kaiju. Ganimes quickly submerges itself underwater as it makes its move, Both Mack and Rodriguez swings their arms around as if swinging a sword, the sprint executioner then swings the wrist sword before plunging it down into the water. Ganime raises its head out of the water, howling in pain as its left pincer was severed from its body. The sprint executioner then swings its sword arm back before plunging the sword deep into Ganime's belly. Ganimes dying screams were cut off when the Sprint Executioner cut the crab upwards, splitting the kaiju in half. "One down" Rodriguez cheers, "five big ones to go" Mack finishes.
"Mack and Rodriguez, rendezvous with the Bojangles they need your immediate assistance" Coulson orders through their radio comm units.
"Affirmative..." Mack was then cutt off as the Sprint Executioner was suddenly knocked off its feet as it sinks deep into the water, "What the in the hell!" The alarms blared, as the Jeager pilots scramble to see what has hit them. The panel depicting their Jaeger units integrity shows they have now lost their left leg. Standing above them was Ebirah, it raises its pincers up before bashing them across the Jaeger's chest before repeating again and again. Rodriguez and Mack swing the sword up wards but Ebira barely dodges it as it swims to the surface.
Bojangles was currently being entangled by Gezora's tentacles, "Hunter do something!" Bobbie screamed at her boyfriend.
"I'm doing all I can love!" Hunter shouted back.
