I think the Hollow Earth stuff was definitely setting things up for the MonsterVerse. And I'm fairly confident there will be some references to Skull Island--Maybe even more than the 2014 Godzilla since the MonsterVerse didn't consciously begin until Skull Island.
^And to add, "In 1954 we awakened something," is a very, very difficult line in the film to get around. It sort of supports Durp's comparison.
I think it's exactly like legends. Multiple times Legends brought in places characters and ideas that were brought into the movies afterwards. However it was writtin largely before Disney made the mandate that all material had to be canon, just as Awakening was made before they monsterverse was a real thing and had very little to do with the movie.
Now that those things have to be canon and they're playing with bigger ideas they would go back to the novels/comics and taking the pieces they want that will fit into their story and leaving the rest. The fact that as I said they are going out of their way to not acknowledge big parts of that comic says everything.
The Thrawn Trilogy is legends is what introduced Coruscant as a capital planet, that was later included when the prequels were made, but the Thrawn trilogy is not canon right now despite that.
Awakening introduced Douglas McArthur that the movies now acknowledge, but they're going out of their way to ignore the big story point of that book Shinomura, pointing to the exact same treatment Disney gave Legends.
Nah, Legends is taking it a bit far. It's referenced directly, just like Skull Island: Birth of Kong, and its interpretation of things has been made "official" on numerous accounts.
I'd say we shouldn't preclude one without precluding the other, just to be safe. Keep the timeline nice and clean, thus not having to deal with potential "pick-and-choose" scenarios, because those get REALLY annoying for me.
I would say a more likely comparison is Star Wars Legends material.
They might canonize certain aspects and characters they can use, but otherwise noncanon side works that have been retconned.
I waited for the VHS way back and enjoyed it for what it was. I had no expectations- I just wanted a newer monster movie flick and it worked just fine. Would I watch it again? No, because I have a huge backlog of scifi movies to watch.
Yeah yeah yeah, have fun with that Fanzilla.
So anyways, back on topic. I do agree with you there, morgoth9899, that Pacific Rim: Uprising will probably be the main focus in terms of marketing in the next few months or so.
However, with the leak of the temple set photos, I'm confident we'll be getting a decent trickle of tidbits.
You're acting like your guess that there would be practical effects is something big, when in reality it was just another very safe bet you had 50/50 or greater odds on. As has been pointed out, someone who is known for practical effects was listed before your so called reveal of this, and even without that it still would be an obvious inference. Fans have been asking, no clamoring, for practical effects to make a return in this series, and the trend in Hollywood overall lately has been to eschew all CGI effects in favor of some practical as well. Once again you act like the "psychic" guest on some lame third rate talk show pretending to speak to the dead with vague statements about obvious guesses.
Guys, I can't say I work for 7 11, but maybe if you go there you just may find a flavor or two of slurpee. Shhhh, it's top secret. ;^)
It's nice that this movie is actually finally happening and not something in the distant future.
^How did I not see this?! I browse Insta a lot!
^Gman is this from Instagram? Also congrats on being promoted to Admin. :)

Is this from Instagram?
That is awesome.
MOTHRA IS COMING! THE END IS NIGH! D:
Is this the last story in the Godzilla Wars series?
Just to bump this thread, I'd also like to request of deletion of my Alien: Covenant review (because I wrote a better, revised version afterwards.)
You guys think we'll see more variants of the Servum?
"Doesn't mean the creature is a straight up mutation of the original."
You mean like how spacegodzilla is a mutation of the original? Cool.
While that does hold some truth to it, we don't know what Toho and Polygon pictures have in store for this Godzilla. Were the radioactive leeches sub-species of Godzilla? Of course not. Just mutations caused by his radioactive properties.
I really like the idea of new monsters being spawned from Godzilla.
Well, kind of. In nature many creatures have subspecies but it doesn't necessarily mean that the creature is a straight up mutation of the original.
Not bad, SFK.
Sooo totally up mai alley! I can't wait for this Masterpiece to come out!
New chapter with more Ultraman monsters.
I suspect 90% of legendary's time will focus on Pacific Rim: Uprising. As far as Godzilla 2 goes, you might get a teaser poster or an update on how filming is going, that's it.
I wonder what could be shown at SDCC. Proof of concept teaser, most likely, given the early production schedule and the success of the original 2012 teaser.
Since everyone knows Godzilla now, focusing on teasing what Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah will be like could be plausible. Since this is the Mothra thread, I imagine that focusing on quotes that play up Mothra's mysticism would do nicely.
Any good quotes from history that could do the trick?
TheTruthIsOutThere,
No one here may be attending SDCC. However, those who have Twitter accounts will be. If you are correct about SDCC, you can bet that people who are attending have Twitter accounts and will spill the beans there.
I just mean anywhere but here, no one here's attending
Ignoring the above, what other forum is this you're talking about, TheTruthIsOutThere?
Is it Reddit? Toho Kingdom? 4Chan? Spacebattles? Something even more obscure and meme-y?
Hmm...I remember comments made by people that said "Shin Godzilla could be creating monsters with his reproduction."
Seeing how this "Servum" is a sub-species, kinda brings that "creating monsters" thing to a whole new meaning.
"Nobody is saying that we believe every word of what TheTruthIsOutThere is saying. Nobody is saying that we believe this person is an inside source."
I find that statement hilarious. You and a few others jumped head over hills when this individual appeared saying a few things that other forums long said before they showed up.
In any case, this individual has yet to prove anything. Saying things like Mothra has a type of poison? You do realize this is nothing new right? Mothra has always had a poisonous attack from her wings ever since the Showa era. "Yes, we G-fans know this" was your comment to me on our last debate. Well, act like it.
TheTruthIsOutThere,
You keep insisting on SDCC. Have you or others stopped to think that maybe, just maybe, nothing will happen? I mean, if it doesn't, then what will you bring to us next? If it does, cool beans! I honestly don't see anything happening because the film will only be into 4 weeks of filming when G14 was a few months into filming before anything happened with SDCC.
Just wait till comicon, then maybe you guy's might find out something... on another forum that is.
We JUST went over this a week ago or so. Nobody is saying that we believe every word of what TheTruthIsOutThere is saying. Nobody is saying that we believe this person is absolutely an inside source.
What we ARE saying is that what this person has to say is interesting, and we want to speculate on it because it's INTERESTING to do so, and there's no harm in doing so. If the person turns out to be right, great! If not, no harm done, nobody was actually lapping it up like a bunch of sheeple like some people exaggerate the situation to be.
Anyone who doesn't want to be a part of these discussions, I ask you to kindly leave the rest of us who DO want to be a part of these discussions be.
By all means have fun speculating, I'm not saying that is a bad thing.
What I am saying is to not speculate about what this guy says because he has no evidence to back it up and yet he still tells us to believe him.
Anybody can make discussions on the forums, Just go create a discussion called "Mothra Speculation" or "Rodan Speculation" and read some very interesting ideas instead of eating up all the falseness this guy says.
