It looks like Battra,i like it.
Camazotz is a badass name.
GmkGoji,you ranked K:SI on 3,you said you liked it...
OH WAIT K:SI?KSI CONFIRMED!
Nah,Zilla jr.,because Biollante is just a human,and the Behemoth is just a Mammoth!
I have to agree with macumbalove here, that design looks dope.
Gotta be honest; That new titan looks pretty damn cool.
1. Kong
2. KotM
3. Godzilla
Argh... Why isn't it working?
Crap.. It ain't workin
Can you do Gigan (Millennium) vs Godzilla 2019 please?
I mean... with my biases,
1. KOTM
2. Skull Island
3. 2014
But arguably, Skull island was a better movie than 2014. The reason I like 2014 more is because of my bias towards Godzilla and my mild dislike for Kong. Not that I don't like him, but... he's always just kinda been a big ol' ape that was into humans to me. I liked him A LOT more in Skull Island, and I loved the little nods to the original. Personally, he felt a lot more fleshed out and a better character than before. Technically, he's a better character than Godzilla... but, Godzilla is Godzilla... and KOTM was at least as good a movie as Skull Island, in my opinion.
I admit your banners are better looking than mine
1. Godzilla: King of the Monsters
2. Kong: Skull Island
3. Godzilla (2014)
Chapter 37: The Giga Effect
Wake Island, Pacific Ocean. June 13th, 2019.
After the Nisshin Maru was refueled the former whaling ship then prepares to leave the Wake Island dock. But something on the far side of the island had awakened, maple-leaf spikes bursts from the shallow lagoon before turning upright to the sky, as the kaiju's back slowly rises from the lagoon, the crew of the Nisshin Maru gasp as the beasts ugly head rears up. Rather than the familiar face of Godzilla, this creature's head was humanoid and eyeless. Then the creature stood up, it was tall and slender unlike the bulky and cumbersome form of its father. Despite not having eyes it stared at the Nisshin Maru, it peels back its thin lips into a snarl. "By the spirits! That thing is bigger than the last one" Takashi stared up at the towering monster. Its mouth gapes open, its spines began to glow purple as a purple light emits from its maw. "Oh no!" Jun stared up at the monster as she held on to the ship's railings, the creature was the same as the beast Takae and the girls killed earlier; a shingodzillan, just a lot bigger.
The mature Shingodzillan plopped down on his forelimbs as its jaws widen to their limits, the energy build up in its throat was then released. Purple beams fly pass the Nisshin Maru, the water evaporates on contact. The Nisshin Maru rocks from the force of the passing beams, Jun slips and falls overboard into the water. The shingodzillan redirects the beam towards the Nisshin Maru, the beam snakes across the water as it encroaches near Jun, the surface water sizzling into vapor. The heat of the beam radiates more intensely as it approaches the former G-Force agent, Jun felt something spark inside of herself as the beam started boiling the water around her. The water surrounding Jun suddenly exploded, the airbourne water violently splashes down around the Nisshin Maru. The purple beam was suddenly deflected away from the whaling ship.
"The beam missed? But how?" the old man shouted.
"Look!" Takae points over yonder, a large turquoise skin giant was now standing near the Nisshin Maru. The new kaiju was humanoid in shape and is distinctly female, a pair of large bat-shaped wings protruding from her shoulders and a pair of bat-wings growing out in place of horns.
"Oh no, another monster!" the captian cried.
The female kaiju turns her head back to the Nisshin Maru, her bright golden eyes shined like burning golden orbs, she smiled knowing the ship wasn't destroyed. The Shingodzillan slowly crawls over Wake Island, its massive hand hovers over the airforce base before pressing down on the docks, demolishing the refueling station once and for all. The Shingodzillan slowly rises back to its feet before leaping forward towards the female kaiju. The turquoise skinned devil lady punches the shingodzillan in the face, it throws back its eyeless head back. Devil-like kaiju then shoulder bashes the creature in the torso, the shingodzillan falls backwards into the coastal water. The blue ocean water started to glow a bright purple as a beam shoots out, burrowing a whole in the turquoise devil's shoulder. She clutches her wound, her brow furls, lips peel back into a snarl; arches of electrical discharges bounce and dance across her titanic form.
"is that what they call the giga effect?
The devil screams a glass shattering howl before plunging both of her fists into the water. She fishes the shingodzillan out of the water via a bear hug. The humanoid godzilla squirmed around the turquoise devil's grasps like a fish, the turquoise devil with murderous glee squeezes and electrocutes the titan with all of her might. The shingodzillan squeals before something inside it bursts, the charring creature involuntarily vomits up its crushed cooked innards. The turquoise devil triumphantly releases the dead shingodzillan back into the water, she turns her attention back to the Nisshin Maru. The crew and passengers stare up in both awe and fear, soon the turquoise devil began to shrink, her skin began to lighten up and in her place was Jun. The Nisshin Maru turned back around to fish the now naked unconscious woman out of the ocean.

Day 7, Hawaii. June 18th, 2019
The Nisshin Maru arrives to Hawaiian coast of Kauai, there they were greeted by a giant blue robot displaying a white star surrounded in a circle red and blue stripes fashioned as wings. The Avenging Patriot, piloted by Jeff Rogers; the grandson of Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter, the founders of SHIELD; approaches the Japanese whaling ship. "Halt, state your business" his voice booms through their radio.
The captain of the Nisshin Maru gestures to Jun to respond, Jun clasped the mic. "We are the crew of the Nisshin Maru, we request asylum"
Jeff was taken aback as the speaker spoke fluent English with an American accent, "The Nisshin Maru, huh? Let me get a hold of my superiors, I'm not promising anything"
They waited for what felt like hours within the next 15 minutes. Then the radio buzzed to life, "Alright, my superiors says you are a whaling ship. Which begs the question, what are you doing way out here?"
"We are not whaling if that is what your asking? We got attacked by a Daikaiju...err I mean Titan and this was the only available port"
"Whoa whoa, you encountered one of those things out there?"
"Yes, we were lucky enough to escape it with our lives"
"Proceed to pearl harbor, there you'll be processed and placed in temporary quarantine"
The captain looked at Jun concern, Jun sighed, "Allow me to explain it with the crew" Jun turned to the captain, "They want to place us in quarantine," the personnel on the bridge immediately gave Jun soured looks, "What should we do?" she asks.
"Say we refuse their requests, we don't go into quarantine!" the captain responded.
"I had a talk with my superiors and we refuse your requests to be placed in quarantine" Jun clasped on the mic.
"It wasn't a request, its the rules. Anyone exposed to the titans are to be placed in quarantine until its decided that they are safe to be released. Please don't make this difficult for me," Jeff responded.
"Wait a second," Jun turned towards the captain, "Its mandatory...."
A hellicarrier flies over head, a quinjet is soon seen taking off from airship; the aircraft soon hovers above the Nisshin Maru, the bay doors of the quinjet opens as a tall bald African American man with an eye patch soon disembarks onto the Japanese whaling ship. It was Nick Fury, he pulls out his radio "Its alright Jeff, I'll take it from here."
"Yes sir" the Avenging Patriot turns its gaze away from the whaling ship as he continues his patrol.
Fury was then greeted by the captain as well as the bridge personnel. "Konichwa" Fury greeted them but the old man wasn't moved then Jun walked up, "Konichwa" she returned the gesture, "On behalf of the crew of the Nisshin Maru..."
"Okay you can drop the act, we know you are not actually whalers. MONARCH has been keeping on eye on you for sometime, specifically you Ms Fudo" Jun's eyes widen in surprised, Fury walked closer to her, "From my understanding, your old friend Dr. Bates has a similar condition to yours. You want asylum, you'll have it"
"No quarantine?" Jun asked.
"Nope, consider this a VIP treatment" Fury added.
Jun turns to the captain, "No quarantine"
"MONARCH is well aware of your conditions, don't worry unlike G-FORCE we don't think less of you here" Fury then spoke in Japanese. The Nisshin Maru crew glances at each other, "My late associate and close friend Dr. Ishiro Serizawa used the term kaijin to describe special humans."
Yeah G2014 and KOTM is pretty much tied with me but I kind of like Godzilla's design back in 2014 which is why I ranked it higher
Haha, for me the romance with the MonsterVerse never dies down. :P
I really dislike ranking things I enjoy, but I guess if I absolutely had to...
1. KOTM
2. K:SI
3. G'14
Say what you will about KOTM being the most flawed, and I'd probably have to (mostly) agree with you, but for me my love of Kaiju movies has always been intrinsically intertwined with their monster designs. For example: I am very aware that Terror of Mechagodzilla and Vs SpaceGodzilla are not the best the franchise has to offer, but I will gladly opt to watch those two over other options because I love the tar out of Titanosaurus and Moguera's designs. So for all the pacing, editing and character issues KOTM has, it gives me a gorgeous reimagining of Ghidorah, Rodan, Mothra and Godzilla, then makes them fight. And in the end, that's what makes me happy.
I flip-flop between Godzilla '14 and Kong: Skull Island these days. They both have different strengths and weakness that make it difficult for a straight comparison. And I think both movies were specifically targeting different tones, which makes it even harder.
King of the Monsters is definitely the weakest of the three though.
@Mothra squad
Same here, though I'm having an increasingly hard time choosing any Kaiju designs other than the Monsterverse's as favorites. They blend iconic features and imaginative realism in a way Toho's never really tried before, and with the future at least potentially bright I'm looking forward to how they evolve in later installments, particularly seeing how Mothra changes once he/she hatches out of that egg. Will they go the Mothra Leo route, or will she develop those little chicken feet from the original designs?
@Gmkgoji
And yes, Rodan was really cool too. I hope he gets a role in GVK, however small.
1. Godzilla: King of the Monsters
2. Kong: Skull Island
3: Godzilla (2014)
1. Godzilla (2014)
2. Godzilla: King of the Monsters
3. Kong Skull Island
Um..
1. G:kotm
2. Godzilla
3: K:SI
I love K:SI though, don't get me wrong.
Also, @Gmkgoji and @Flyleaf-Rapt0r, what about you guys? How would you rank these movies?
For me, they are all fantastic movies, but they go from best to worst as follows:
1) Godzilla (2014)
2) Kong: Skull Island (2017)*
3) Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)
*Author's Note: I did the asterisk because I only think that Kong: Skull Island (2017) is only slightly below Godzilla (2014), even though it is still a really good movie.
Nice list. For me the list is.
1. Godzilla: King of the monsters
2. Godzilla (2014)
3. Kong: Skull island
Mothra is amazing. But, I gotta stick with mah boi Rodan.
I love all of Mothra's designs
I like her redesign, but I do like her originals a bit better.
Toho Kingdom and Gojipedia
Where did you get this info?
Mothra, partly because she was an underdog, but largely because I was the most impressed with her redesign in KOTM. Rodan, Ghidorah and Godzilla are all great mind you, but Mothra easily had the most drastic changes made and yet still looks and feels like the Queen of the Monsters. They took some major risks with her and I think they paid off incredibly.
I’m Rodan right now because he had the best design. I’ll probably change to Kong in the near future.
