@MinecraftDinoKaiju Can we as fans stop this trend of predicting or assuming garbage before we ever see the film? What's a bad idea? Having ACTORS in the film? Having the Kong vs Godzilla match up? What are you even talking about?
I feel like this might be a bad idea, and it might actually make the movie be as disappointing as Batman v Superman was, essentially making it a kaiju-sized version of Batman v Superman. Hope that's not the case, but this is just my opinion. MDK, signing out.
G. H. (Gman) Or how non-canon or contradicted it actually is.
My opinion: (In a sarcastic Jim Carrey impersonation) Wow. So canon and so not going to be ignored. I wonder how much of an impression it will leave. B-e-a-utiful.
Lol :)
I wonder how inconsistent this one will be.
I gonna get this comic.
Hey, everyone. Something I need to say about this comment. I was intending on sending it yesterday, but then my wifi went down, and now I'm back. So just pretend I sent it yesterday. Thanks. MDK, signing out.
Original intended upload: "G. H. (Gman) You're sure doing that, alright. I got 23%, but at least I know now that I have to "study" more. So many things I didn't know until this. It's awesome.
To everyone else: Hope everyone learns from their first results, and learns things they didn't know before this test. Good luck, everyone."
Nice chapter, and nice cliffhanger. Can't wait for the next one. Sucks that these are taking longer to make than before. Hope it works out man.
The female parasitoid having freshly laid her clutch of eggs begins to slowly strut away from the legendary godzilla carcass. She turned her gaze towards her dying mate. She approached the crippled male, nudging him to stand. The male struggled to support himself on his remaining limbs, he squawk-growled at his mate before his legs gave out. The female nudged at him again before the pair heard an all too familiar roar calling out in the distance; it was another Vindexgodzillasaurus. The female was forced to abandoned her mate as she desperately buries the godzilla carcass to hide her progeny. The male squawked his last breathe before being blasted apart by a young subadult Vindexgodzillasaurus, his spines slowly cool down from unleashing his atomic breath; LegendaryGoji was his name or Legend for short. The female parasitoid rears up on her hind legs before stomping her large claws into the ground, she squawks and flare her smaller limbs to make herself look bigger. Legend roars defiantly as he approaches her, the female charges towards the subadult godzilla. Legend was picked up by the nape of the titanic parasitoid and was being tossed around violently, her beaked jaws were slicing into the godzilla's tough skin. Legend began to charge up his atomic spines, he fired at the kaiju's hind leg. The female parasitoid squawked as she releases the young godzilla from her jaws. Legend now free, pulled back his head then unleashed the rest of his neon blue atomic napalm on to the female. In defiance, the kaiju parasitoid made one last strike against the legendary godzilla. She struck Legend so hard that he was sent flying back into the coastal waters, the pressure however snapped the parasitoid's front limb in half.
Legend came too, whizzing as the impact of her strike has cracked some of his ribs. He open his eyes to the sight of very tiny furry creatures, the Homo habilis. These early humans stared at the mighty Godzilla with both awe and fear. Legend stared them curiously before finding the strength to stand on his feet. The day was almost over as the sun was beginning to set. Legend turned his attention back to the female parasitoid and noticed she was prone. Legend approached her carefully, the great beast had succumbed to her injuries. Legend slowly bent down to sniff the godzilla carcass, it was his mother. Unbeknownst to him, the parasitoid's progeny were buried deep inside Legend's mother's spine. Legend roared one last goodbye to his fallen mother before returning to the oceans.
Thousands of years later...
Late Pleistocene, Ice Age
Homo habilis have sense went extinct and replaced by his decedents Homo erectus among several other archaic human species before they too faded out of memory and were replaced by Homo neanderthalensis (Neanderthals), and Homo sapiens (Modern Humans). There on the frozen plains of Siberia, a hunting party of homo sapiens stalks the Woolly Mammoth and the Woolly Rhinoceros. Tark was monitoring the large animals, waiting for an opening to strike at these magnificent beasts. He raised his spear but before he could toss it into the massive creature's wholly hide. A loud thunder crackled in the heavens, the Mammoths and the Rhinos were spooked. Tark ignored the thunder, he signaled his hunters to press the ambush. Again the thunder crackled and again Tark payed no heed to it, what he failed to realize there was no lightning coming from the thunder.
Gman,
No worries! I just figured if it interested people, great! If not, then I'll have fun doing this in the process.
That being said, it's definitely from a Judeo-Christian framework, but I've seen a lot already, between GMK and even Mothra vs. Godzilla. The idea of self-sacrifice/atonement, forgiveness, theodicy (the problem of evil)... I figure going through each movie, I'll pick up some common themes and then go from there.
And I've noticed what you're mentioning here in Facebook groups, although I did whittle it down to one. There has been some decent conversations here and there; although I did manage to frustrate a lot of people when I called out the hypocrisy of hating G14 for certain things, while giving the Showa/Heisei/Millennium movies a free pass. :)
It's pretty difficult I admit--But not created to dupe people. The hope is that many see the answers and are encouraged to dive deeper into the background of the series and its connections with other films & filmmakers.
I missed this somehow.
To answer the original question you're going to be hard pressed to find many intelligent Facebook groups out there with these discussions. Toku Legion is probably the only one I can recommend. The others are typically too large and have a surplus of casual fans only interested in viewing the series as guilty pleasures. While others are too small and dedicate themselves to a younger crowd more interested in theorizing over fantasy monster battles.
Forum-wise I would recommend Monster Zero on ScifiJapan.com, but it's been a lot slower these days. It's a little too elitist for some, but I get called out for that too--Whatever.
The ideas you're tossing around are certainly fascinating. What kind of theological perspective are you looking for?

A little delayed on the posts, but thought I'd share.
Even more hyped with this and the possibility of Rodan’s old roar.
Oh cool. I did saw Alien Covenant but not The Nun but that's cool. I'm going to see it always because of Millie Bobby Brown. She's my favorite actress and whatever movie she's in, I'll watch.
This reaffirms what Dougherty said in an earlier interview. He mentioned that they gave King Ghidorah his classic cackling roar. Good to see that's still the case, especially since Anime Ghidorah is getting the recycled Rodan roar instead.
Iconic sound effects. What I hoped for. Maybe Godzilla's roar will be updated to mix the classical roar from either the Showa, Heisei and/or Millennium eras we all know and love with Legendary's too?
OK... that is really cool. Kind of a Batman vs Superman feel where two icons work together to defeat a powerful foe. KK vs G should be similar to that concept in my opinion.
I hope that Godzilla has a more diversified roar that incorporates the iconic 54 roar... as in the low growling and most certainly the sound that when he looks down at Emiko and scares the crap out of her. That roar is ominous and I hope they use that at some point in the movie. As for Ghidorah's sound... a dragonesque roar combined with the traditional (but slightly updated) high pitched sounds that he is known for... that would be cool.
It sounds to me like TOHO has more or less given it's blessing on this film. Does this mean possibly more future films for this franchise with TOHO giving a green light to other iconic kaijus ? Time will tell.
53% Wooooo!
Just continues to prove that I am horrible with names.
I'm hoping it's appropriately updated, like Legendary Godzilla's roars, using the old effects as a baseline.
Good to know, I hope all the monsters have their iconics roars, or close homages.
Ok, I didn't know that, and I'll give you that. Just because of that, I've changed my mind. Now we just wait for the film to see if it was worth it.
The Heisei roar is just Rodan's roar. Why would they use that when Rodan's in the movie?
The Showa roar is an iconic cackle that was used and hear more often. A variant of it was used in GMK to great success.
Wait. Does that mean he has his roar from the Showa era, and not the one from the Heisei era? Because if so, then that sucks because (for me, at least) the Heisei roar always stuck in my head more than the Showa roar did, with the Showa roar sounding like something meant for something silly, and the Heisei roar sounding like what a dragon should sound like. Oh well. Hope it sounds cool.
G. H. (Gman) Ok, then. That's cool. To each his own, right?
And does that still apply to my question as well, G. H. (Gman)?
Justanothercrow123,
Solid work on the new uploads. I intended to take the Heisei series through Shin Godzilla, but I wasn't going to bother with Showa. More power to you.
Oh, Justanothercrow123, I meant to ask my question to G. H. (Gman), but you know, that's cool too. Sorry for the confusion.
MinecraftDinoKaiju I'm working on doing the entire series. Showa is up next, though I might need to switch up my template a bit to accommodate the dense posters.
Sounds awesome. Can't wait for the film to come out.
G. H. (Gman) Ok, yes, but you see my point, right?
Looks like an actual comic, I like it!
As much as I want to see them fight, I want to see them work together as well.
The hype is increasing. I am very pleased to hear that not only is Dougherty being faithful but that Toho has approved as well. I can't wait for this!
