Wow! Great news for theater-lovers! We had many awful examples when movies were shot after plays and vise versa. Hope this will be an exception and I am definitely going to view it. Any volunteers to make my thesis on theater art?
^The Showa Godzilla also has a form of gills though.
So that's how he could sleep underwater. That makes sense now.
I don't remember if Planet X has some sort of low-oxygen atmosphere, but probably since it clearly has gravity. And Rodan would need it to take flight. I'll have to look in to that. But the scientific accuracy of that at the time was likely lost on the filmmakers.
However, this book explained that Showa Godzilla's lungs can retain enough oxygen to where he doesn't need an oxygenated atmosphere to survive--At least for an unspecified amount of time. That's how he survived on Planet X. Here's a rough translation:
"While the exact function of Godzilla's lungs remain a mystery to an extent, his lungs can withhold massive intakes of oxygen, allowing him to survive without the need of respiration."
Gman- Didn't Planet X have it's own atmosphere?
^He survived on Planet X though. While Toho released material on how Godzilla was able to survive, I don't think they touched on Rodan--Though it's likely the same explanation.
Maybe it's because Rodan needs to take in oxygen like us as well? Considering he is an Earth-Bound kaiju
I'm coming up short on this one. There is absolutely no official release with subtitles, though Toho did release them on Region 2 DVD without subs.
As for boots, we don't advertise such here, but I suppose it's okay to say I can't find much in the way of fansubs--Though admittedly I wasn't looking too hard in that area. Zone Fighter's largely the same way.
I would probably say that Sokogeki was Chaotic Evil instead of lawful evil.
I'm not sure if I posted in here already, but I can't seem to find any post so I'll go ahead.
As a little kid, I loved dinosaurs. I had lots of them and I'd spend hours on end playing with them. And some of these dinosaur toys I had were actually Godzilla figures, but I hadn't recognized that. I had two figures of Burning Godzilla (one big and one really small), but when I played with them I pretended they were Bowser from Super Mario Bros., which I also loved as a kid. I faintly remember having a Mecha King Ghidorah toy when I was little also, but I think I gave it away because the middle head had snapped off. Later, on one rainy afternoon, my mom put on a Godzilla movie for me to watch, and I loved it. I really liked Godzilla, and I felt sorry for him because I felt like he was just misunderstood.
In third grade, I started drawing Godzilla comic books, where I made Godzilla a super hero that fought other monsters. Also, for my birthday I remember getting a few Godzilla toys which I still actually have today.
Then my mom bought me a box set of Godzilla VHS tapes from a nearby thrift store. They were the classic, Showa era ones.
There was also this channel on TV that played re-runs of the classic Godzilla films, so I had some fun watching and recording those. When I was sick or something I remember watching them. Then I went to a video store at the mall, and I found a 3-in-one DVD of Godzilla VS Mothra, GMK and another one that I can't quite remember. I used to watch those all the time.
And since then, I have been a faithful Godzilla fan.
This is very cool! Superb list, by the way.
Personally, I'd say that most of the time Godzilla is Chaotic Good/Neutral, with some exceptions. Shin, GMK and 1954 I'd say are Chaotic Evil for sure, because they were actually trying to destroy as much as they could and went out of their way to do so.
I did something similar a while back. It doesn't have all the monsters, because I only used the ones I felt like worked best with each alignment:
GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS - Hahaha! This is extremely compelling! I am a very large fan of Dungeons and Dragons, and the use of the Alignment System from that game with regards to Godzilla is exceptionally fun! Thank you ever so much for sharing this with us! :)
It was my love for dinosaurs and the simple fact that he destroyed buildings and breathed atomic breath and I love that as a kid and I still do.
Don't know how much credence this has but pretty sure in the dub of Ghidorah the three-headed Monster during the monster "conversation" Rodan implies he can just leave earth if Ghidorah destroys it.
This is kickass! I even love the thing under its neck. Reptilian Godzilla all the way. :D
Gormaru Island is reporting Skull Island for a possible $559-560 million by the end of the weekend, which sounds about right.
The movie is coming to a slow and any significant bump will be due to dollar theater sales. It should put the final around $570-$580 world wide--Which is excellent news.
Meanwhile, in Japan Skull Island was last seen with $16.2 million and an attendance of 1.21 million. It's expected to fall out of the top 10 this week and will probably finish around $20 million with an attendance around 1.5 million.
$20 million would put the sales around some of the more successful Heisei Godzilla movies, but the attendance would be less than most of the Millennium Godzilla movies. It would also put it $10 million behind Godzilla '14 in Japan and roughly $56 million behind Shin Godzilla.
A lot of these monsters have weird properties that excuse the whole "flying into space" thing, like being from space, being a god, etc.
In my own writing, at least, the giant monsters CAN fly into space if they wanted to, they just don't generally do so because it's usually not part of their natural behaviour.
1. 3 of those monsters are space monsters. That means they can survive in space.
2. Mogera is a robot
3. Mothra, as guardian of the Earth with a life cycle resembling that of a phoenix, is very close to being a deity. Therefore, to protect the earth, she can but doesn't often unless necessary. (of course, you have to take "suspension of disbelieve" into account)
4. At this point in the game, it would look weird for Rodan to fly into space. He's an earth monster. There is no point for him to be in space (except for Invasion of the Astro-Monster, but he didn't fly to planet X. He did fly on that planet, but that doesn't count. I think).
At least, that is what I think. I just don't see Rodan going into space. Unless he's dive bombing an enemy from orbit or something.
GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS - I have always believed Rodan is incapable of traveling into space because his strength is rooted in the Earth's magnetic field - which is what allows him to move with such incredible speed. :)
Interesting. I actually like the drawing more than the digital model version (though I like his work as well). I like the larger head to body size of the drawings and the thicker / meatier neck of the drawings
Very measured response there, G. Not bad.
That was actually just comedy on my part. Don't wanna take things TOO seriously moddin' message boards.
Really? You interviewed one person and wrote an article on it? This term paper writing service never publishes unreliable data.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters,
To be fair, most of the S.H. MonsterArts Heisei Godzilla's have specifically been 1994 and 1995 and re-releases of those two. There's also one figure for the 1989 Godzilla. So it's not simply a generalized Heisei Godzilla, but specific suits that feature subtle differences from one another. (Or in the case of the 1995 suit, large differences.)
Nah, if he wants a rebuttal he can just scroll up or go back a page. I have no interest in repeating myself.
You're welcome to not read it and partake in another conversation or create your own. Otherwise my best suggestion is to move along from a conversation you don't like.
I know that G.H. (Gman). I have a few of them. What I want is a skin color accurate Heisei Godzilla with blue spines. Like the spitfire release of Godzilla 2014. That would be cool. But I'm happy with this too.
KingKaijuGojira,
They've already released that exact figure with the proper coloring. Multiple times actually.
Suck suck suck. The sound of all the JOY being drained from this topic. God, it's worse than a Barry Manilow concert around here! Excuse me, I gotta go do something cheerful, like slit my wrists or something . . .
Numbers numbers numbers. What is this, math class? You're sucking the joy out of a bunch of freakin' monster movies for cryin' out loud!
"Somebody release the Kraken already!"
Bracing for that last post to incite a page and a half of exposition in response from GMan . . .
So, it's all about those man-eating Homogoji's after all?
"Release the Kraken!"
That would be awesome.
What if they made "Poster Versions" for all the monsters?
I understand that this is the poster version. I am just saying that maybe in the future we can get something like this but with proper skin color. They did it with 2014 Godzilla, it is possible they could do it again with several other Godzilla's. I am not sure about Rodan though. It is a possibility. I saw a picture of a Roman figure before he became Fire Rodan, but I'm not sure if that was real or not? But hey, you never know.
