Just in case it flew under the radar for some of you, a legit leak of Ghidorah from G2 surfaced the other day, but was covered up by a fake leak meant to deter attention from the real one that was floating around for a short time
Stay tuned for more information.
Nice topic. For myself, it's a godzilla design I've created using elements of my personal favorites. I think you'll find out what they are by viewing these drawings. And no, I'm not entirely done with them. Been busy with work.

I wonder why some of these scenes were removed, especially the fourth form crawling around and when the military had to get around the falling bridge.
(I also want to see the scenes of Godzilla jumping around and kind of flying fully rendered.)
I would have a Godzilla closer to the original or Heisei Godzilla- a force of nature. It could destroy a city trying to defeat an enemy or get to a nuclear reactor to feed. For design, I like the look of Stan Winston's scrapped design, but with a few aspects of previous designs and less reptilian. I think a turquoise atomic breath would be cool. The nuclear pulse would be another power it would use.
Shin Godzilla flying with its tail? Dafuq?
This design is better than what we got, although Edwards' Godzilla is pretty cool
I'd use this fan design of '14 Godzilla:
He'd be massive, intimidating, and powerful, a benevolent force of nature. His atomic breath could obliterate a legion with one blast, and he also can emit nuclear pulses. My Godzilla would have RIDICULOUS endurance
I have always felt a kind of kinship to Godzilla. Throughout most of his movies, it seems that the whole world is against him. But no matter what, he doesn't give in. He doesn't change who he his. Godzilla is just Godzilla, even if no one likes him for who he is. I guess I just idolized Godzilla when I was young because I felt almost the same way. Lonely, but not willing to change who I am for the world's sake.
I think I relate to Moguera because of the creativity used in his design and abilities. Also, who wouldn't want hands that fire missiles?
I believe many of the soundtracks are officially available through iTunes these days. As for compilation albums, these are some nice starters:
The Best of Godzilla: 1954-1975
The Best of Godzilla: 1984-1995
Unfortunately there is no "Best of" for the Millennium series. You could also just PM me for specifics... *cough*
Anguirus, cause he tries his best but always gets beat up in the end. Also because he is a loyal friend and one who is not too quick to trust just anybody.
Thank you very much, glad to be here! Go Godzilla!

I like the "Bromance" between Glen and Fuji.
1. Biollante
2. Gigan
3. Gamera
in no particular order- Manda, Baragon, Varan, Ebirah, Titanosaurus, Destoroyah, MechaG, Orga, Anguirus, Jet Jaguar, The Kraken, Leviathan and Behemoth, Monster X (design wise, not related to GHidorah) and Godzilla Jr.
Ah Yoshimura is a good one. Perhaps my favorite Takarada role in the series. I loved how different the part was compared to so many other characters played by him.
I've long regarded Akira Nakao's G-Force Commander Takaki Aso as one of my favorite characters in the Godzilla series. Aso starts out as a stereotypical authoritative military figure who seems to have a short temper, but undergoes very subtle character development throughout the films, quite remarkable for a side character. Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla hints at Aso's JSDF past, with Akira Yuki mocking how much he has changed since he was Yuki's commanding officer, saying that "too many stupid meetings can change a man's destiny." Despite his stern and cold demeanor, he is the first G-Force member to visibly express concern about Yuki's fate after the film's final battle. In Godzilla vs. Destoroyah he has a larger story role, and while he doesn't really do much in the film he has become a much more empathetic and relatable character. By the end of the film, he's just as somber and stoic as all the other characters following Godzilla's death, even though two films prior he was completely fixated on Godzilla's destruction. Aso may not be the most prominent or developed character in the franchise, but I appreciate how he is a little more than the simple stern military leader, thanks in large part to Akira Nakao's performance, which ranges from very powerful and unrestrained to quiet and nuanced.
The Showa series has a lot of memorable human characters, and it would be too difficult for me to mention every standout that comes to mind. I'll give special mention to Akira Takarada as charismatic thief Yoshimura from Ebirah, Horror of the Deep, Nick Adams as Glenn from Invasion of Astro-Monster, Akihiko Hirata as Daisuke Serizawa from the original film, and Goro Mutsumi as the Black Hole Alien Leader Kuronuma in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla.
I also have to recognize Toru Minegishi as Colonel Goro Gondo from Godzilla vs. Biollante. While that film had some issues balancing its cast of characters, I enjoyed every moment Gondo was on screen and was legitimately upset at his death.
^Yeah. So it would seem like other classic monster movies. Then, Clover would be right up there with King Kong, Godzilla, Gamera, The Giant Claw and others.
This sounds weird, but when portraying Clover, something like this is what I'm taking about (Warning: Semi-NSFW content)
To explain my Cloverfield idea a bit more - I don't know what it would be called, but it would be styled after the original Godzilla/King Kong movies to capture that essence of being a classic giant monster horror movie. This means the film would be black and white, and instead of CGI, Clover would be a stop motion-based puppet (like the original King Kong). In fact, Clover would look quite like that Hasbro toy of it, just more articulated and detailed. Oh yeah, and in this, it would an adult Clover so it would be MASSIVE!
I Just Love/In Some Cases (That Greedy Man From MvsG) Love To Hate All Godzilla Characters :)
I mean, you could probably pick any character from Monster Zero and that would be good enough for me. Gleen and Fuji in particular are outstanding, but Tetsuo is also very underrated.
Katsura from Terror of MechaGodzilla is also one of my favorites. She's quite conflicted.
And, of course, Dr. Serizawa from the original movie as multiple layers to his wonderful character that are probably overlooked now simply because everybody assumes him as a default favorite.
I think my favorite character would be Dr. Serizawa (1954).
My Favorites By Era Are: Showa:Dr. Serizawa, Heisei: Every Character Of Biollante And Koji Shinjo, Millenium:Hosono, Legendary:San Lin, Shin:Kayoko Ann Patterson.
Frak Yeah He Counts Man :)
I don't know if he counts as a Godzilla character per se, but I really liked Bill Randa in Skull Island. He seemed to be a very interesting character who knew a lot more than the rest of the cast.
I don't put much stock into the connection with Godzilla: Awakening since I don't consider it canon, but it's an interesting assumption for those who enjoy it I suppose.
And rumor had it Legendary had already grabbed the rights to other monsters when they made the deal with Toho. That's not confirmed, but completely plausible.
Welcome to the forum HorsemensKaiju,
Quite the story and I'm glad to see someone become such a big fan in the wake of the 2014 film's announcement. Enjoy fraternizing with other fans and I hope you learn lots more being here.
What if the Ghidorah in the cave paintings is a different one? I mean, if Ghidorah is going to be an Earth kaiju, it would only make sense that there would be other members of his species, and if Ghidorah is an alien creature/organism/parasite, there may be other kinds out there as well. Just an idea perhaps?
Wouldn't be surprised if they decided to put that in on the off-chance they would get the rights to the monsters.
Wait....... would Legendary have gotten the rights to use them by that point in production, back when the Godzilla (2014) was being made?
@G.H. (Gman)
I actually found a possible location. In the Awakening comic (it's canonicity is questionable but this still applies), Serizawa is showing Dr Zamalek Godzilla's historical appearances, he mentions one which is supposedly a cave painting in Chauvet Cave (an actual real cave in France). Funnily enough, one of the Paleolithic drawings it has appear to show "images that have a vaguely butterfly or avian shape to them". Mothra and Rodan?
A heaping load of green backs for sure.. 300 million to do it right. I believe they will triple that and then some.. with the kind of monster mayhem necessary. The way i see it.. if TOHO can make miniature sets that for the time.. were pretty good.. then hollywood should be able to do better... and money well spent.. will bring bring in good profits and the key will be mass marketing with a lot of teasers ahead of time.. and let's hope.. a more stimulating story line.. and less boring actors (Ford). Heck.. there was more monster action in Pacific Rim than in Edwards version of G. And Kong got way more screen time than G 14. G - K.O.T.M.. ought to be a big budget 3 hour film.. with over an hour and a half of that being monsters on parade. IMO.
That's a good question. I'm pretty sure we can rule out Skull Island--I also doubt we'll really get an answer to this question.
But for the sake of speculation, the different shades to each painting/rock makes it seem like they were in different caves, but that seems highly convenient that there were many caves each with a painting of a monster. It was probably the same place, just in different chambers.
