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!
K-Pg Extinction
Its been a year since the meteor storm. The skies had since dark with dust chocking out the last bit of sunlight. Plants withered and died, herbivores slowly starved to death. Carnivores desperately cling on to survive but the world has been growing ever colder. Eogoji and her pack huddled around a deep river, a school coelacanth is spotted, Eogoji swoops the fish out of the water. It slaps around on the ground before Eogoji ate it. Her mate swoops another coelacanth out of the water; a long head bursts out of the water. Its conical teeth stab into the Eogodzillasaurus'es forearm, the head jerks back to pull its prey closer. Eogoji leaped into the water, then left a gash on the spinosaurid's face. The Palatinotyrannus released the Eogodzillasaurus from its jaws as it yelps in pain, then its sail bursts out of the water as the creature arose from the river. It bellowed like an angry crocodile as it approaches the pack. Another distant roar could be heard, a Fukuityrannus could heard stomping through the dead forest. Then came another roar, Paleogorosaurus, a carcharodontosaurid; it too was drawn to the commotion.
Eogoji barked at her pack to take formation, each of them turned to face the hungry predators. Then a bright light blazed across the sky, but it was unlike any light the theropods have ever saw. It was burning like a meteor but it wasn't a meteor, it was much worse. The flames took the shape of a three headed dragon, it was King Ghidorah. His ancestors originated from this planet but somewhere around the early cretaceous, a race of aliens captured several of his kind and genetically engineered them into something more. King Ghidorah with all three of his heads stared down at the puny theropods, they were no more than fleas to him, Ghidorah breathed out a chain of lightning towards the earth. Eogoji quickly hissed at her pack to retreat, the Paleogorosaurus attempted to attack one of the godzillasaurids but ended up in the jaws of the Palatinotyrannus. The Fukuityrannus, desperately hungry ignored the fleeing Eogodzillasauruses and charged towards the spinosaurid and carcharodontosaurid.
Eogoji turned her head back and saw the mighty theropods destroyed by Ghirdoah's attack. King Ghidorah giggled at the chard theropods' remains. He turned his attention to the Godzillasaurids, he folds his wings to accelerate. King Ghidorah opened his wings, he stretched his large talons on to the frozen floor. The Eogodzillasauruses were all gone; All of ghirdoah's heads lowered, sniffing and prodding their snouts into the frost covered floor. Then came a familiar cry, ghirdoah's middle head glances up at the dust filled sky and their he saw his nemesis... Ghirdorah retreated to the skies. Feeling the threat passed, Eogoji unburied herself, she turned to her pack to signal them to follow. Its been more than a week since Ghidorah's attack and the eogodzillasauruses were growing ever so hungry, the pack were occasionally attacking each other but Eogoji kept them in line for as long as she could; until the next time.
Two eogodzillasaurus began to start up another attack, they first started out with nipping which then escalated into biting and scratching. The two hurdled themselves down a hill slope, one was on top of the other ready to slice his claws into the other's belly, Eogoji snapped her jaws at the fighting two as she made her away down the slope with the others. That is when they saw it, the fighting pair turned their gazes over to a massive cavern, a scent permeated the cavern's edge. It smelled like fresh pines, where there are pines there are trees, and where there are trees.... there are herbivores. Eogoji lead her pack deep down into the hallow earth, the entrance began to close behind, sealing the pack in for good. Eogoji and her pack don't seem to notice as they are drawn further down into the cavern by the planty scent. They stumbled in a chamber so vast it almost looked like it could be outside, a thick fog blanketed the ceiling infested with light producing bacteria. A Nipponosaurus herd were seen grazing on the ferns next to a great lake, Eogoji cooed, however it seemed several other their natural nemesis have also found this "paradise"; Paleogorosaurus, Palatinotyrannus, and Fukuityrannus were also seen at the lake, but so was another pack of Eogodzillasauruses; insuring the survival of the godzillasaurids family.
Yes Godzillasaurids are going to be feature during the K-T (now called the K-Pg extinction since the tertiary was broken into the Paleogene and Neogene) extinction and how they survived it.
Just asking. Is there going to be a whole chapter dedicated to what the godzillasaurids do during the K-T extinction, or is it going to be brushed over in the same way Walking with Dinosaurs did?
Late Cretaceous
Eogodzillasaurus, the first member of the godzillasauridae family evolves from the successful Spinogojiri tribe of godzillasauroids. Eogodzillasaurus looks very much like later godzillasaurid Zilla save for a slender lower jaw and its overall body size matches the size of Tyrannosaurus rex. Eogodzillasaurus as well as other basal godzillasaurids were the dominate predators of what will become Japan. Very few Megaraptorans and Spinosaurids were left on the japanese peninsula. All that remains of these old kings are the Palatinotyrannus titanus "Titanic Imperial Tyrant", the largest and greatest spinosaurid that ever lived and Fukuityrannus toho "Toho's Tyrant of Fuku" a large tyrannosaurid that was mistakenly believed to be the ancestor of Godzilla.
Eogoji was hiding behind a lone large rock standing erect on a hill top. A herd of Nipponosauruses were grazing on the many ferns that dotted the ground. Eogoji turned her gaze, another Eogodzillasaurus was hiding behind a large tree just down the hill slope. She grunted at the other Eogodzillasaurus, he moved over from behind the tree with some others. Eogoji turned her head back to the Nipponosaurs as her pack were preparing for an ambush. The Eogodzillasauruses bolted towards the hadrosaurids, driving the nipponosaurses away from the forest then corralling them back towards the wooded hills. The frighten hadrosaurids stampeded up the hill slope towards the lone rock, like a wave departing around a small island, the herd splinted into two herds. Eogoji tore into a passing -by nipponosauruses, its cries were drowned out from the fleeing herd as they stomped away. The other Eogodzillasauruses catch up to their pack leader, Eogoji growled at her companions; to remind them of their place in the hierarchy. She ate her fill before laying down to rest under a tree, her pack ate well this night.
The next morning, all that was left of the nipponosaurus was blood drenched bones and scant remains of flesh that the eogodzillasauruses couldn't either reach or cared to finish. A loud roar was heard from below the hill, a Fukuityrannus was spotted by the godzillasaurids, it was drawn by the smell of fresh carrion. The Eogodzillasauruses abandoned the nipponosaur carcass knowing full well not to tangle with a hungry tyrannosaurid. As they traverse down the opposite of the hill, Eogoji turned her gaze back to the carcass; the Fukuityrannus's jaws crushed the thick rib bones of the dead hadrosaurid to get to the bone marrow.
Later that night as the eogodzillasauruses were fast a sleep, the stars in the night sky glistened against the black background. Eogoji awakened for a moment to check on her pack's well being. She saw they were all breathing, feeling reassured she laid her head down. The night sky seemed so tranquil, then some of the stars began to fall. Many shooted across the night sky, until one landed close, lighting up the night sky. Then came a thunderous roar, as the ground shook.
also doesn't the mothman terrorize people?
Wait wouldn't manda be a lake monster from japan?
They took Godzilla ps3/4 downloads off the PlayStation store. Why would that do that? Ps4 Godzilla game rules! 2015 Namco did one of the best Godzilla products ever! At least the disc is easy to find and they did a sequel called "Godzilla vs. " Namco needs to go back to the P4 and just give us the planet to raid with no boundaries.
Nice idea. Some may need to be altered to fit the kaiju, but it's still a cool concept none the less.
^None. But around a certain May date next year would be pretty ideal.
Any idea when Criterion will release the Godzilla movies on Blu-ray?
I became a Godzilla fan when I first watched Godzilla Power Hour, then about months or maybe a year later I rented Godzilla vs Monster Zero. I think I was 6 or 7 around this time, then came 1998 and I became a huge fan of Zilla, because I'm a huge Jurassic Park fan. Then around 2004-2005 my uncle sent us his Godzilla movie collection so me and my brother started watching them, we got all the way up to Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters.
Then I rewatched Godzilla 1998, While i'm still a huge fan of Zilla. I didn't really like the overall story of the movie, well anyways.... In 2014, me and my brother restarted our Godzilla marathon in conjuncture to the release of Legendary's Godzilla. We finished the marathon and boy, I love Godzilla 2014. Been a full fledged Godzilla fan ever since.
Thanks for the hospitality, I truly appreciate it.
Welcome to the forums! Thanks for sharing what made you a fan. Also, sweet profile pic!
In about 2008, I remember watching Godzilla Final Wars. The action, the diverse roster of monsters, godzilla himself, all of it was amazing. Ever since then I have read a bunch of books about the history about the making of godzilla, and watched most of the movies. But, the monsters are definitely the reason I love the godzilla franchise so much. Their sheer power and size was captivating, and I can't wait to see what new monsters appear in 2019.
1. Doesn’t really have a role. Just escapes and begins her transformation.
2. The device causes Ghidorah and Rodan to escape. They don’t really control them, it just guides them where to go. For example, in the final battle, Vera uses the device to distract Ghidorah from Godzilla and he starts following her.
What roles does the mothra larva have, or only appears for showing her grow?
Are the monsters being controlled or what role does the new bioacoustics control system, declared in Vera’s interview, plays?
Thanks for the answers!
1. Involved; Vera Farmiga’s character
2. Vera calls Monarch via video message to reveal her real motives. Kyle Chandler is her ex-husband and that’s why he said that.
3. Mothra doesn’t. She has sharp legs and possibly a stinger. I am not entirely sure if Rodan has a beam or not. Only the Redditor told me he has a sort of fire beam/attack, but only him. So I am not sure
4. Bomb detonated on him by Serizawa
5. Sally Hawkins: Eaten by one of Ghidorah’s heads in Antarctica
Serizawa: Sacrifices himself to help Godzilla by manually detonating bomb
Vera Farmiga: Chased by Ghidorah and then injured when he shoots the beam at her; Ghidorah looks at her still (she’s still alive), but then Godzilla releases nuclear pulses. Presumably she got killed.
6. Serizawa’s detonation of the bomb
Thanks for responding! Sorry I have some more questions if you can answer them, thanks for sharing.
1. The woman speaking at the beginning of the new trailer. She is the leader or involved with terrorists that release Ghidorah? If not, who?
2. The quotes in the trailer "You are out of your god damn mind!" and "I'm sorry this is the only way". What is the context?
3. Do Mothra or Rodan have ranged attack? Such as spewing fire or firing energy beams? Or do they solely rely on their claws and such?
4. What causes Godzilla to become super-charged? (His eyes and dorsal spines glowing blue)
5. Which human characters die? How do they die?
6. The trailer shows a MASSIVE explosion (the time stamp is 1:50), what causes it?
JHT, he doesn’t, at least for now. They could change it later in production.
Kaijuoptera, only one Mothra.
1. Rodan isn’t really seen much on the ground other than the volcano and bowing scene (when he bows he does extend his wings though). Ghidorah is iffy. One source (who accurately leaked Justice League and Last Jedi) said he was quadrupedal while my two new sources (one showed me their ticket and the other was the Redditor) said he was bipedal. I suppose they either changed it or he alternates.
2. The plane lures Rodan to fight Ghidorah.
3. Mothra breaks out. Ghidorah was purposely released by the terrorists to destroy humanity
4. Mothra and Ghidorah. Mothra tanks a beam(s) from Ghidorah, turning her to dust. Her death directly affects Godzilla though. Ghidorah gets incapacitated after various nuclear pulses and a stomp that causes a nuclear explosion. Godzilla bites onto his head/neck and blasts it
5. Mothra and Godzilla aid each other and have done so for millions of years. Rodan is always loyal to the alpha no matter who it is. In the recent screening, Rodan fights Ghidorah and easily loses; after a series of events, he sides with Ghidorah. Once Godzilla defeats KG though, he sides with Godzilla. Mothra mainly fights Rodan. Godzilla mainly fights Ghidorah. Ghidorah defeats Godzilla. So, to sum up: Godzilla and Mothra vs King Ghidorah and Rodan
6. Mammoth, Daddy Long Legs/Clover-looking kaiju, one eyed kaiju, Stegosaur-looking thing. Awakened by Ghidorah due to his loud roar/screech after he is victorious in Mexico; they are all now loyal to him at this point.
7. Don’t know how to exactly describe their different personalities, but they are strategic as they dodge Godzilla’s beam in the first battle. They do bite, roar and snap at each other though.
IN the trailer we see mothra in larva and imago form, but in monarchs website and timeline she is already a cocoon. Are there two Mothras in the movie?
My Questions! Thanks for posting this QnA.
1. Are Ghidorah and Rodan quadrupedal or bipedal? Or do they alternate stances?
2. There was a plane that appeared next to Rodan two or three times in the trailer, and in front of Ghidorah once. What is its significance?
3. Do humans (or a does a particular person) release, ghidorah, and mothra from their respective areas. Why were they released? Or, do they just break out on their own?
4. Do any of the monsters perish? If so, which ones? How do they perish?
5. How do Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah interact with one another? Who sides with who?
6. I know other creatures will be in the film. What exactly are those creatures (giant insects, sea monsters, etc)? How were they awakened?
7. What are the Ghidorah heads' personalities? How are those different personalities conveyed?
I have one theory as to who the Siberian monster could be. The fact that it was conveniently discovered right after the first nuclear weapon was used (and ultimately failed this time) to kill Godzilla in this continuity (1959) in an icy environment, with the directors of the next two movies Tweeting these images (the first of which is common knowledge around the interwebs):
https://twitter.com/Mike_Dougherty/status/897113397539590144
https://youtu.be/0n0f-ysrmsQ?t=196
leads me to believe it very well could be Destoroyah! Maybe it's the inner Dessy fanboy in me, but I find it hard to believe they'd Tweet these images with this "suspicious" choice of time and location for one of the unknown kaiju in the Monarch timeline if they weren't planning on using him unless it was an epic trolljob, in which case, well f'ing played. He sounds like the perfect kaiju to band the two monsters together if they do plan on having Godzilla and Kong team up to stop a greater threat as well.
I am not sure exactly how strong; the powered up Godzilla, as the trailer indicates, seems to be more powerful though.
Can't wait for the next chapters. Nice job.

Chapter 2: The Dawn of a Four Kings
Early Cretaceous
Millions of years have passed since the closing of the Late Jurassic, Gojisaurians were slowly being pushed off the land by the rising tyrannosauroids. Sinotyrannus and Yutyrannus dominated most of ancient china now, replacing the old allosaurian metriacanthosaurids. To escape a similar fate a clade of Gojirasaurians known as the Godzillasauroids have become semi-aquatic. The spines on their back have become increasingly fin-shaped to cut through the water, their jaws elongated while not sacrificing their broad shaped snouts. Among these Godzillasauroids, Spinogojiras was the most numerous and adaptable of their kind while many other Godzillasauroids have become specialized water dwellers. The Dracosaurians were beginning to dwindle as larger pterosaurs became increasingly common.
There on the beach was a Spinogojiras "Spined God Incarnate" feeding on the carcass of a dead hadrosaurid, the blood trickled into the sand as a wave flows on to the blood soaked sand carrying the blood droplets into the river bed. The scent of blood was spreading everywhere, drawing all sorts of hungry mouths to it. From the land a pair of hungry Yutyrannus creep out of the wooded forests, from the air dracosauroid Wyvernosaurus encircled around the carcass like a vulture, and from the water spinosaurid Siamosaurus walk out of the water like bipedal crocodile. Spinogoji arose from the carcass, blood, meat, and sinew still stuck in his teeth as the three hungry predators challenge him for the ownership of the carcass.
Spinogoji barked and chuffed at the predators, the female Yutyrannus snapped her jaws at Spinogoji, while the male assumed an attack pose. Wyvernosaurus slowly descended while the three predators were engaging in a fight, while Siamosaurus bellowed a low hiss at the three theropods. The female Yutyrannus glanced over as the wyvernosaurus was gorging itself on the carcass, she growled but it only angered Spinogoji to snap his jaws at her. The male Yutyrannus leaped at Spinogoji, but was met with a bear hug by the larger theropod. Spinogoji took a bite out of the male's neck, unfortunately spinogoji only nipped his opponent with his conical front teeth, while they kept the yutyrannus from escaping his jaws; they weren't design to tear away flesh. The female Yutyrannus bite on to spinogoji's fin-spike, while clawing away at spinogoji's thigh and ribs. Spinogoji flinches from the pain, he releases his bite from the male, before swipping his claw across its face; sending the tyrannosauroid sliding across the sands. He turned his attention to the female, but her weight toppled spinogoji on to his side. Siamosaurus thinking bolted towards the female Yutyrannus mistakenly interpreting that spinogoji was either dead or incapacitated. Spinogoji watched as the spinosaurid hissed territoriality at the Yutyrannus. The female growled but the Siamosaurus lunged at her face. Spinogoji arose to his feet, glancing over at the spinosaurid and the tyrannosauroid; Spinogoji jerked his head back then tore a chunk out of the Siamosaurus's tail before bolting towards the river. The spinosaurus released his grip from the yutyrannus to howl in pain only for the male yutyrannus to suddenly lunge at the throat of the siamosaur.
Spinogoji swam further and further away from the beach, as far as his legs would carry him. The blood seeping from his wounds would undoubtedly attract predators, but thankfully the wounds weren't deep. Spinogoji found himself washed up on another beach, but the scent of its plants was very alien to the forest he knew since birth. The sand was black, even the air had a slight sulfur smell. A Fukuivenator greeted the Godzillasauroid, Spinogoji didn't know what make of it, it like the Yutyrannus was covered in feathers like a bird but unlike Yutyrannus it was alot smaller and very bird-like. Spinogoji growled at the smaller theropod, causing it to flee into the jungle. As Spinogoji ventured further into the jungle, he found himself staring out on to an open plains. The open fernlands was littered with hadrosaurids called Fukuisaurus. Outside of the herd, he spotted the resident top predator of these lands Fukuiraptor, a megaraptoran. Spinogoji retreated back into the jungle, searching for food that doesn't require fighting another hungry theropod.
Later that day, Spinogoji stares at a passing coelacanths school swimming down a deep stream. He snatches one with his hands, it flapped and squirm as it wanted to return back to the water, Spinogoji tossed the fish high before snapping it out of mid-air. He catches another fish, before tossing it high up, but then a female Spinogojiras snaps that fish out of the air. She stared back him, as if offering the fish before consuming for herself. Spinogoji growled in frustration.
Yes, I was just focusing on Late Jurassic China. Most Allosauruses lived in North America, while some may have lived in Europe and Africa. I'm thinking of changing Gorosaurus from being an allosaurid to a carchardontosaurid
First, great topic - upvoted!
Second, I suspect Kong may discover a means of accelerating his growth rate. Either that or they could just simply explain an accelerated growth rate which happens at X amount of years. Given he's a fictional monster, why can't he hit puberty and have a major growth spurt before 2020?
I'm not too worried about how it's explained, so long as Kong is on par to take on Godzilla in the final film. However that happens, I'm cool with it.
No, I don't think he'll be big. Yes, he might be bigger than his first appearance, but I think he'll only reach about 350 feet, or even be as big as Godzilla was in 2014.
Isn't the late Jurassic also the time for Allosaurus (the ancestors of Gorosaurus)?
A couple millions of years hence....
Middle Jurassic
The Gojirasaurus has finally went extinct after failing to compete with its peers on a size and power level, however it left behind a decedent, Microgojiras "Small God Incarnate" evolved quite different from its peers. Trading size and power for nimbleness, light crocodile-like armored scales covered its back, and thick claws to shovel dirt; allowing it to hunt for small mammals. The Microgojiras ancestors have since migrated away from the north american plate and are currently residing in the now isolated island continent of Indochina.
Microgoji, stared up at the moon from his burrow. Insects sang in the primeval darkness of the night, the occasional forest pop sounds, foot steps from large animals, and ever so often a low humming is vocalized by the sauropods. A Yi glided between two trees, Yi were strange dinosaurs, they were covered in feathers but had bat-like wings. The Yi stared at Microgojira for a brief moment before being scared away by another gliding dinosaur. Its talon feet collided with the soil, its neck snakes backwards like a coelophysis, its scales were dark, and its head was slender and bore a set of elaborate crests that looked rather like horns. Eoghidoras "Dawn Ghidorah", its ancestor was a small basal dilophosaurid that took the trees before the dawn of the mid-jurassic. Microgoji burst from his burrow to scare off the dark intruder. Eoghidoras stared back at the lightly armored theropod, Eos reared her torso up to look bigger and bigger she was in comparison to Microgojiras. She was prepaing to snapped her jaws around Microgoji but her attention was refocused elsewhere, she flapped her leathery wings until she gain lift-off. Microgoji overconfident left his burrow to chase the fleeing Eoghirdoras.
A pair of jaws snapped around Microgojiras' tail, he howled but thankfully his hide is thick enough to soften the damage. His attacker was a Monolophosaurus, a clade of theropods that belong to the averostra clade and this particular one was a tetanuran or stiff tailed theropods, their kind has been out competing and driving basal theropods to extinction. Microgojiras bent his tail to shake off his attacker, the monolophosaurus was too powerful, his stiff tail gave him the balance he needs to counteract the struggling gojirasaurid. Microgoji was being dragged backwards as Microgoji was pulling himself foward, a deadly game of tug-of-war with his tail lasted for more than three minutes before microgoji's tail snapped off. Microgoji howled in pain, the tail end of his tail was now being devoured by the monolophosaurus. Microgoji hissed as blood splattered on the dirt floor, filled with rage, he charged at the monolophosaurus; who was still taking bites out of the dismembered tail. His thick head like a blunt shovel, bashed into the monolophosaurus's side, cracking its ribs. Monos bellowed in pain as it raised its three clawed hand to swipe away at Microgoji's neck. Microgoji dodged the attack, after gaining a bit of distances, he inhaled sharply sprayed the monolophosaurus with thick foul-smelling mucus. The Monos roared as the smell repelled it away.
Microgojiras turned away beaten and exhausted from the fight as he retreated to his burrow. A small mammal-like therapsid greeted the injured theropod with a squeak, Microgojira swiftly bit down on its head before swallowing the furry thing whole.
Millions of years hence...
The Late Jurassic
Microgojiras and Eoghidoras are now extinct but their decedents paved away two new clades of theropods: Gojirasauria and Dracosauria. On the northern coastline to South China, a lone Stegojirasaurus "Roofed God Incarnate Reptile" prowled the beach. She is an overall improvement over her ancestor, the scrutes that dotted her light armored hide have enlarged, giving a row of small spikes dotting her neck, back, and tail. Her lower jaw has grown larger and heavier, giving her an impressive bite force to devastate any large crustacean or large fish that enters her jaws. Above her was a flock of small pterosaurus, fleeing from a large dragon-like creature. Dracosaurus "Dragon Reptile", he was more robust than his ancestor, Eoghidoras, his size was impressive and no match for millions of years until the arrival of the azhdarchid pterosaurs in the late cretaceous. He flew pass the small pterosaurs, dunking his jaws into the ocean to catch a surfacing fish.
Stegoji ignored the larger flyer as her nose caught the scent of blood. To her surprise she saw a beached Kronosaurus, a genus of marine reptiles that were related to turtles. Stegoji approached the dying aquatic beast, over exposure to sunlight, dehydration, and suffocation under its own weight. The Kronosaurus barely had enough strength to defend itself as stegoji bit off a huge chunk of flesh. Its whaling sounds would undoubtedly attract more predators, sure enough more Stegojirasaurus crepped out of the forest down to the beach, stopping by for a bite.
How strong was the atomic breath? Compare it to the one in the 2014 movie. Is it a big power up and a tad bit beam-like unlike the more napalm-ish one? Sorry I just wanna see a powerful looking atomic breath so bad.
