I mean, isn't he listed as bio-electric? He's probably easier to get a readout on than others. Even the Showa King Ghidorah was shown multiple times producing extreme amounts of heat from its body.

Yeah, he has been frozen....... but his vitals are clearly still intact.

As an animal, his thermal signature will remain different than that of his surroundings, even if he were cold-blooded; there's no reason to believe he would be, ESPECIALLY since he'll awakening in Antarctica.

As for the weather patterns, predictions based on his extrapolated biological features can be drawn up.

What’s I want to understand is How they got a thermal image  and weather readout of An awake Ghidorah but claim he’s been frozen.

Jaysus firetrucking Mr. Christie, he's somehow EVEN MORE OF A MONSTER THAN GODZILLA.

^you make a point. Plus the official synopsis says that the war moves to a higher dimension. I'm also finding websites referring to Ghidorah as the God of the Void in the anime. Like I said, I'm willing to give it a chance. It'll hold me over until G:KotM

The poster is only showing Ghidorah's necks peeking through what look like wormholes or portals. He's so massive that just his necks poking through portals dwarf Godzilla Earth. He most likely inhabits a higher dimension, and those portals are how he enters our plane and fights Godzilla. A short brochure for the film distributed in theaters in Japan shows a silhouette of what looks like Ghidorah's full body, and it appears to have wings and two tails. It's entirely possible this Ghidorah still has the character's classic body shape, we're just only seeing his necks and heads.

I expected it for this. Not surprising if this is the same rating used for Godzilla vs. Kong in 2020.

As long as they push the PG-13 rating like they did with the last two films, I think we're in for some monster goodness. Seriously, look at some of the violent scenes in those films; they're actually quite brutal upon further inspection.

In the first movie, the female MUTO gets DECAPITATED; you can even see a bit of her spinal cord and spurting blood from the stump if you brighten the scene up.

In the second movie, we of course have the Mother Longlegs killing that one soldier pretty brutally, along with Kong RIPPING THE GUTS outta the Big One.

Nice. I think PG-13 is an appropriate rating for any Godzilla movie

Was kind of expecting that

Great topic, these live tweet watch-a-alongs are great. We should organize more of these and see how many more fans we can get involved!

I don't know, does this Ghidorah even have a body? Is it even one being? It seems to be three separate kaiju. 

I am no fan of the Godzilla design, but it didn't break me. I thought the Severum (or whatever the hell they were called) could be interesting but then they showed up, what once? Twice? Now this? I agree with the many people who've already said it, it looks like three glowing Manda, not a King Ghidorah. Unless the actual design is far from this (though if it is, what is the point of this poster?!) I'm done with this trilogy. The only good thing that's come out of them were the novels, and we don't even have a translation for them!

But there's a problem when the character is a barely recognizable bastard. I was intrigued (And somewhat annoyed, but I swallowed my pride) by the designs and concepts presented in the anime, but they've done nothing interesting with them. They're not integrated into the characters at all. If you can even call them anything other than set pieces at that size and level of inactivity and ineffectiveness. The opposite is true of fanboys. If you just think that everything that comes out is good: you lose. Look at the alien and predator fandoms, of which I am die hard member. Quantity over quality.

I'm not sure how to respond to the design. You expect King Ghidorah to shoot Gravity Beams, not become them. It looks like Godzilla is fighting multiple Manda rather than Ghidorah. Whatever, It's anime. I've seen worse anime. I'll give it a shot. It'll at least pass the time until Godzilla King of the Monsters

Glad to see my forum post made the news so quickly! ^-^

Anyways, like many parts of the anime trilogy, this is looking to be a radical new take on an old character.

I'm conflicted about the design of Ghidorah, it looks strange to me. But new isn't automatically bad. I look forward to seeing him in action vs Godzilla.

Maybe they summon him to fight Godzilla

A mi pues porq me gustan los monstruos y porq siempre fui fanatico  espero aver godzilla king of the monsters

Have you checked out my Gojiverse?

1. Can’t quite say about Ghidorah; but Rodan’s definitely seems legit to me

2. Refered as Monster Zero up until the Mexico scene where his name is revealed via mythological texts. 

New chapter. SpaceGodzilla does some stuff.

I hope the novel keeps a nice balance. Giving us some new info to be hyped on, but not revealing everything as to destroy our interest.

I just hope they clearly connect the prequel graphic novel to the movie.

I've had enough of getting "not objectively canon" thrown in my face.

Yes. Can't wait. Nothing like a little prequel comic to get us hyped up.

I was really hoping they would do this seeing that they hooked us up with a Godzilla graphic novel last film. Hope they continue the tradition with Godzilla vs Kong! 

Honestly I kind of hope these issues will focus on the various monsters that appear in the film like the story of how King Ghidorah got into its icy prison

While it sounds cool, I have a bad feeling this will be doing the same thing Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom did, in that while we may know what happened thanks to the website and novel (and other promotional material), the general audience will not know what happened before the film, leaving them lost, confused, disappointed, and maybe even angry at the film for leaving "plot holes" in it. I'm sorry, but I feel that I may be right about this.

Both look so cool. Nice job to Jackson.

I think I had similar sentiments when I wrote a review for this a few years ago. I know it has faults and definitely isn't one of the best, but I put it in the upper middle.

ah okay

I don't think any mention of a prior film would have improved the overall story. In fact most connections the Heisei films make to prior movies don't really effect the overall story. Most could be left out.

What sucked about this film for me was that it made no mention to the movie prior to this one (Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah), so when I watched it, I thought it wasn't canon to the Heisei Era. If they made at least one mention of what happened in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah instead of saving it for the following film, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, it would have probably been more note-worthy and would have made more sense than that one cameo in Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla. But other than that and Battra's quick introduction transformation, and death, this movie was okay, but it felt like filler. Sorry, but that's just me.

I recall seeing the movie and I overall enjoyed it, mostly the music. I loved the moment when Mothra emerged from her cocoon. But I disliked that Battra transformed so abruptly and didn't have a unique sound effect. Nice job with the commentary!

That is just how I would interpret Manda. The kaiju could be changed slightly to fit a separate story, or the story to fit the kaiju. Just depends how you want to portray Mothra, Manda, etc.

Chapter 3: Dawn of the Cenozoic

Paleogene Period, Paleocene

The surface world has since recovered from the meteor storms, mighty skeletons dotted the landscape. They weren't dinosaurs, at least not anymore... Ghidorahs; however the great King Ghidorah wasn't among them. The swamps of the paleocene were slowing claiming the Ghidorah's remains. A giant shadow soared over the ghidorah's remains. It then perched its self on the moss infested rib cage, a giant white moth with vibrant colored wings overlooked the recovering surface world. In modern times, her kind will be called Monsura or Mothra. Her kind evolved during the Early Cretaceous period down below in the hollow world, feeding on specialized radioactive plant matter that allowed her kind to grow to enormous sizes. 

A familiar roar bellowed from the swampy coastline, a large yellow godzillasaurid bursts out of the water. Its spines were maple leaf-shaped, it had short powerful legs and appears to have developed a pair of gills. Its head retain the Zilla look of past Godzillasauroids. Its eyes stared down coldly into the water, a giant fish that escaped from the hollow world swims past the yellow godzillasaurid. Its spines begin to light up from the tip of his tail and like dominoes the other spines begin to light up until the last spine lights up at the back of its head, Paleocenogojiras "Ancient Recent God Incarnate" spits out a jet of atomic energy on to the Megafish. The fish bolted away after getting hit, unfortunately for it, it soon floated upside down. Palegoji growled triumphantly, he soon took a large bite out of the fish and unlike his ancestors, he gets to enjoy the whole thing to himself. The Ancient Mothra cried disapprovingly of the recklessness of the Paleocenogojiras. The yellow godzillasaurid looked back at the kaiju moth, snorted, then retreated back into the ocean. Paleogoji swam down deep into the dark recesses of the ocean, its eyes spotted an eerie glowing light; the hollow world's entrance. It passes through the thick bioluminescent cloud, navigated through the maze of sharp rock and tight spaces until it reached the under-oceans of the hollow world. There a school of megafishes fleed from the godzillasaurid, Paleogoji bolted to the surface. Water shoots out from his nose like a whale.

On the coastline, a pair of small godzillasaurids were scavenging on megahadrosaurid carcass. Dracosaurs dotted the sky along with the Pterorodanids "Rodan Wing" massive pterosaurs descendants of the late Pteranodon. Large caterpillars stalk the forest, feeding on fallen logs. Megaspinosaurus "Big Spined Reptile" patrol the coastal waters, while Megalodontosaurus "Big Toothed Reptile" hunted solely in the forest alongside Gigatyrannus "Giant Tyrant". 

Paleogene Period, Eocene

Large lepidosaurian reptiles began to take dominance in the more arid parts of the hollow world. Eocalvarepere "Dawn skull crawler", were one of these large lizards; a terrestrial mosasaurid. A foot came down, Erectogojiras "Upright God Incarnate" bared his teeth at the land mosasaurid. The smaller primitive skull crawler turned to squawk, the larger godzillasaurid resembled zilla in terms of body plan but with a more upright torso, its tail now drags on the ground, its head resembles more like  Monsterverse Godzilla but retains the yellow coloration of its ancestor. Eregoji bellows at the small lizards, the primitive skull crawlers hiss in return. A skull crawler propelled itself into the air using its long whip-like tail, its mouth wide open. Eregoji grab the skull crawler by the jaws and wrestles with it to the ground. The other skull crawlers fall suite, Eregoji manages to tail swap one away, but the other lands on eregoji's back. Eregoji begins to charge up his atomic breath weapon, the intense heat of the spines glowing causes the skull crawler on eregoji's back to leap off. Eregoji blasts the fleeing skull crawler away, snaps the skull crawler in his grasps's neck, while the skull crawler that was swapped away had already burrowed away.

Okay the familiar cry were Mothra's species

it was meant to stay as speculation for now. Also I would like to mention the japanese tyrannosaurid, carcharodontosaurid, and spinosaurid are fictional. However there are scant evidence that tyrannosaurids and spinosaurids did exist on japan during the late cretaceous, i just gave them a really cool name.

Question. What was the familiar cry Ghidorah heard, or is it just meant to stay as speculation?

1. Were those "leaked" design images of Rodan and Ghidorah real or fake?

2. Do they ever refer to Ghidorah as "Ghidorah" or just Monster Zero?

Thanks again!
