Godzilla sizes up Ghidorah in new Japanese King of the Monsters movie poster!

AMAZING

Something's off about Godzilla's angle, but I like it in concept.

At this point, the hype is just going to murder me.

I NEED THIS MOVIE SO FUCKING BADLY!!!!

G. H. (Gman) You're worried about Godzilla's angle? King Ghidorah looks like he got shrunk down to Godzilla's size, or close to it. (And no, I know he's supposed to be far away, but even if it was that, he still looks smaller than what was shown to us.) It's so weird.

Visual perspective can confuse people. Everyone see's things from different angles and gets a different perspective. That's all this is in this very cool poster that is making me drool.

TOHO should not end this franchise with WB/Legendary... it's going to make a lot of money and in my opinion... this film will be regarded as one of the all time greatest renderings in movie history of TOHO's best and most classic kaiju. I think Japanese fans will fall in love with this and demand more.

RR44 Well, American audiences are different from Japanese audiences when it comes to these movies. I mean, look at the reception G14 had with both types of audiences. (Especially the way Godzilla's design looked. [Remember when the Japanese fans called that Godzilla design fat?]) So it's not really guaranteed that "Japanese fans will fall in love with this and demand more." It's all dependent on the reception it gets from those audiences. But I could be wrong. We'll just have to wait and see. You're welcome.

MDK 2 ... Fat... skinny... the newest rendering of Godzilla certainly looks more appealing than the 2014 version and Japanese fans (I know a few) say that this Godzilla is a big improvement over the last one. Besides... there is the other kaiju to consider in this movie that may win them over. Ghidorah and Rodan and Mothra definitely got the Hollywood treatment and as a whole... that may well in effect be just what the doctor ordered for the Japanese fan base to say... wow... great... ect ect. We will indeed have to wait and see.  Either way... this movie is going to be epic... in my opinion.

RR44,
Japanese audiences traditionally don't receive western interpretations of their material very well. G'14 did well all things considered, but wasn't a massive blowout in Japan.

Right now both trailers to the new movie have received very average exposure and reception in Japan. A very trustworthy source, who has typically nailed how well movies do in Japan over the last 8 years, expects it to do no better than G'14 5 years ago. It won't get anywhere close to Shin Godzilla.

Another fine example is Detective Pikachu. It's not tracking particularly high in Japan and it's confused a lot of audience members who only recall the game Detective Pikachu borderline flopping. On the other hand, the Mewtwo Strikes Back remake is likely to blow the doors off of Detective Pikachu.

They simply enjoy their interpretations more. It's just how it is.

And on the subject of the poster... I miss Ohrai...

G. H. (Gman) Well said with the clarification. I couldn't have said it better myself?

Also, who is Ohrai?

MDK 2 (MinecraftDinoKaiju),
Noriyoshi Ohrai was a Japanese artist that painted all of the Heisei Godzilla posters, as well as the Godzilla x Megagurius, GMK and Godzilla: Final Wars posters. He died in 2015.

Imagine if he were still alive to do one for this movie. He'd blow this bad photoshop out of the water.
