and give him extra eyes, it would make him more menacing and more alien like(since the Space origin is very likely to happen base on Mike's retweets about space related stuff).
Hypothesis: They use it on Ghidorah, then in Godzilla vs Kong the Kaiju unite to fight Destoroyah, born from the Oxygen Destroyer. Of course this seems unlikely but it could happen.
It was and has been a purposeful weapon in the original movie and the destroyer film.. but in the Showa era.. it was never mentioned.. that I'm aware of. If the monster verse is going to exist as Godzilla being the cornerstone on which they build it with.. it would make no sense to kill Godzilla off with a oxygen destroyer weapon.. or any other monster for that matter.
Besides.. the theme is nature has a balance.. not nature must be balanced by mankind for survivals sake.
They really need to leave the doors open on Godzilla for future movies.. and Toho should allow it to grow.. after all.. THIS Godzilla was far better than that crappy iguana version. Toho could make money big time.. instead of relying on shin gojira.. to carry the franchise along.. imo.
I have a feeling they'll save it for an After Credit scene.
It's just some fancy word dressing, Gowhaletours.
I think it's going to just be a neat little Easter egg for the fans when the movie comes out.
"Im sure Godzilla 2000 was edited and it was English dubbed."
Sony's cut of Godzilla 2000 does in fact have a few differences compared to the Japanese cut, the most notable being different music during key scenes.
How is that an anomaly? It’s not specified when that is used or even if it’s a major plot point in the film. Mike never implied any date, let alone conflict with the current set timeline...
I was wondering if they would bring the Oxygen Destroyer into the MonsterVerse.
I'm guessing that King Ghidorah will be too powerful for Godzilla and Mothra so they will use it.
Yeah, I brought this up in other threads, and first saw it on the Spacebattles forums.
From some comments I read, it's apparently a replica of the original prop. Of course, that could be a misinterpretation. If it is, and this is a specifically-made prop for the upcoming movie.......
It'd certainly have interesting implications for the MonsterVerse at large. Thus far, no modern weapon has proven capable of really doing anything besides pissing off these M.U.T.O.s and/or potentially feeding them. But the Oxygen Destroyer? That's a completely out-of-context weapon.
Not to mention that its sci-fi undertones mean that other, more overt sci-fi elements and concepts could potentially be threaded into the MonsterVerse.
Damn, Godzilla looks awesome here. His dorsal fins look like leaves off of a tree. That's cool with me, I love the fall time.
My girlfriend and I had to drive 60 miles to see Shin Gojira in theaters. It was the closest theater showing it on the last day it was in theaters. We missed the first 3 mins. That was it. Through out my life I have only seen a number a Godzilla movies on the big screen. I have seen Godzilla(1998) like 3 times with its original release and then Rifftrax did a live event featuring that movie so I saw it again, ,Godzilla 2000 once in theaters and once at a drive in. Godzilla(2014) in 3D, and now Shin Gojira. Shin Gojira was the only original Japanese version of a Godzilla film that I saw in theaters. Im sure Godzilla 2000 was edited and it was English dubbed.
Is the director trying to bring back The Oxygen Destroyer? Is it Dr. Serizawa's design, from G14? Is that why they chose that name for his character?
I don't know how I feel about that. Is there any answers to this?
I'm sure they will beef those legs up. We don't know but maybe Ghidorah will be soo much bigger than Godzilla, but if Ghidorah is an alien(and so far evidence is supporting that from the director) maybe Ghidorahs physical capabilities are lost on Earth bound physics. Maybe he does have slim legs. That would set him more apart from his Earthling Foes.
So, where do you guys think this thing falls in the timeline?
Because I'm pretty sure this thing is kind of an anomaly in the current timeline.
So........ who wants to take a gander at what THIS Tweeted image could mean? >:)
@WillNotBeNamed
They're probably going to slimmed down the legs.
I don't know, chubby stubby feet kind of makes sense for such a massive creature. This universe's Godzilla has them, and whilst some people didn't take to them, they do go along with the overall look.
If King Ghidorah maintains the same massive kind of bulkiness that Godzilla has in the MonsterVerse, then tree-trunk legs would probably be the most plausible option.

Its probably going to be a new monster.
I just wonder when whatever is in Siberia will be revealed to the general public.
I wonder if Doughtry will for the classical bipedal approach or a quadrupedal wyvern approach for Ghidorah. I personally would like to see the bipedal design, but I really dislike Ghidorah's classical legs. They are just too obese and fake looking in my taste. I would prefer to see some more muscular and slender legs for the King of Monsters Ghidorah design.
Not entirely sure, but I'd stay away from Desplat and Gregson-Williams. They seem to understand the sound, but can't weave memorable melodies to them.
I used to want Michael Giacchino to do it, but he's been very hit or miss lately. Neither his Dr. Strange or Spider-Man scores were up to par with his previous stuff and I wasn't really feeling his Apes score either. The last score of his I loved was Star Trek Beyond. But based on what he did for Cloverfield, I'd like him to have a crack at it--Though he's so popular and in-demand these days that he's probably too expensive for Legendary.
Theme-wise I'd love to hear what Brian Tyler might come up with. If given the freedom he'd probably do something fairly memorable with great percussion and use his motifs a whole lot, ala, Ifukube.
What will probably end up happening is we'll get one of Zimmer's many proteges. I enjoy Zimmer and most of his clones, but I don't think they fit the genre.

well who do you think should score Goji 2?
Seeing as we are on the subject of music and King Ghidorah it might be worthwhile to look back on prior King Ghidorah themes and ask ourselves what we want out of it. Honestly, I'm not expecting anything as good as what we got in the past:
1) King Ghidorah's Theme from Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster (1964) - Akira Ifukube
2) King Ghidorah's Theme from Monster Zero (1965) - Akira Ifukube
3) King Ghidorah's Theme (w/Godzilla & Rodan's Themes) from Destroy All Monsters (1968) - Akira Ifukube
4) King Ghidorah's Theme from Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991) - Akira Ifukube
5) King Ghidorah's Theme (w/Opening) from Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla II (1993) - Akira Ifukube
6) King Ghidorah's Theme from Rebirth of Mothra 3 (1998) - Toshiyuki Watanabe
7) King Ghidorah's Theme (w/Godzilla's Theme) from Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001) - Koh Otani
Obviously Ifukube used his same theme for almost 30 years with slightly different variation--It's definitely the most recognizable and iconic. Quite frankly his theme is the King Ghidorah Theme.
But I quite like both Watanbe's and Otani's takes as well. Both fit the King Ghidorahs in those respective films and were used quite liberally in both.
It goes without saying, but whoever is scoring Godzilla 2 has a lot to live up to...
^I think it's good music and works for the scene, but I wouldn't call it memorable.
Render test of a Godzilla model I did as a commission a while back. This is a hybrid of 2000/2014 and then made into an albino Goji. This was a render I did before the albino was added.

What about Back To The Ocean? I find the music quiet memorable.
In regards to the music of the MonsterVerse, I've personally found Jackman's main motif for Kong: Skull Island (which is heard most prominently in the track "Project Monarch" from the opening title sequence and "The Island" from the scene where they finally pierce through the storm cell) to be pretty memorable. I think the score as a whole works very well for the film, but I wouldn't call the rest of it particularly memorable.
I found this cool design for King Ghidroah's head.

Alright you guys win, I'll just sit here and hope KG would have a villainous theme.
TherizinoRex,
I think they're both hinting at something. Saying one does hint at something and the other does not by giving a poorly thought "ehhh" as your reasoning is pretty lacking. Such a thought process completely ignores the fact that Antarctica has already been confirmed as King Ghidorah's location. It also ignores the fact that asteroids come from space and that the other tweet you mentioned has ties to outer space. And, yet again, it ignores the fact that King Ghidorah has traveled via asteroids before. If anything, this is a perfect set up for the character. If not, why else would the director post it and then tag Monarch Sciences to it? Your (lack of) reasoning is baffling.
Both clearly go together.
Freaky multi-headed organism comes from space on an asteroid that ends the Permian era, ends up frozen in the Antarctic. Might've woken up to tussle with Godzilla, only to end up frozen again somehow.
You know, I wonder how King Ghidorah will look frozen, and how AMAZING his emergence from the ice will be in the final film. I'm not sure which would be more likely, though. A popsicle kind of deal where he looks like he's gone through rigor mortis, or a solid clear chunk of ice.

Eeeehhhhhhh no, I don't think so but I do think this tweet could be hinting something.
Desplat's main theme for Godzilla '14 was okay, but nothing special. The motif for the MUTOs and Monarch is hardly recognizable. Not that it matters since he isn't likely to return and as a result the next movie will get all new themes.
Meanwhile, I can't recall a single theme from Harry Gregson-Williams' Skull Island score--And I'm a fan of his. Nothing stands out or can be easily whistled.
In other news, Michael Dougherty just posted this on his Twitter. Seems like he's certainly hinting at something and I hope this is the route he's taking with King Ghidorah: Massive ‘anomaly’ lurks beneath ice in Antarctica.

Forgettable? Eeeehhhhhhhhhh I disagree.
TrapZilla,
King Ghidorah has thrown Godzilla with all three of his heads before--In Godzilla vs. Gigan. I still think the wing walker image looks dumb. If King Ghidorah uses appendages more than his heads to do... well... anything with, then it's a severe misuse of an otherwise iconic design.
TherizinoRex,
King Ghidorah has always had powerful theme music. Ifukube's booming theme played whenever King Ghidorah appeared in the first five films (not TV show) he showed up in. I hope he gets a solid theme in the new movie as well, but given the MonsterVerse's track record for forgettable music so far, I highly doubt it will be anything as powerful or memorable as Ifukube's theme.
I honestly don't care what KG's origin anymore, Legendary could do whatever the heck they want with his orgin.
Earth Monster? Ok cool.
Space Monster? Whatever makes the fans happy.
Honestly tho, I'm more worried about KG's screen time and his build up. I want KG to be a memorable villain, I wan't him to be ruthless and finally I wan't KG to have a villainous music that plays whatever his on screen(Similar to Vulture where his theme plays whatever his on screen).
