MemberMothra LarvaeJun-27-2013 12:08 AMWhat do you want Godzilla to look like in Godzilla 2014? What i want him to look like is to be the Heisei Godzilla. Why? Because i grew up with the Heisei Era and he is the best looking desgins yet, yes ive seen all of the eras but i LOVE the Heisei Godzilla the most, in fact, i would want Godzilla to look like either the 1989 Godzilla from Godzilla vs. Biollante:

MemberMothra LarvaeJul-01-2013 11:22 AMFor me, the suits to imitate overall are '54, '84 or '89. For me what's important in a Godzilla design is a sense of size to feel his destructive force. For me, those 3 films are the only times the suit has really looked and felt like it had a mass. It's also key to have a quality roar too, which I feel each of those films had, plus they used SFX for his footsteps which is also key. I like Godzilla to look massive, nothing sleek. While some of the heads of the Showa era looked really good, the bodies always looked to skin and too man in suit, and some of the things they did after '91 just didn't work. I also like more organic looking spines, not such a fan of what they did from 2000 on, I like the idea that because Godzilla's a mutation, the spines are a bone growth. The crystal looking spines just feel too fake, they look cool, but just don't seem appropriate. I also think a long tail is important, and the 2 dominant fangs.

MemberMothra LarvaeJul-02-2013 2:10 PMi love the older style Godzilla as much as the next fan but i think Big G has looked the same for a bit to long i would like to see something new. i enjoy the newer style of Godzilla like the 2000 Godzilla. i think because the the nuclear radioactive mutation since he can harness the nuclear energy and focus it into a beam he needs some sort of ability to harmoniously control the radiation and therefor needs the crystal structure of the spines to control the immense amounts of radioactive energy. i mean if you remember the movie when Godzilla fights Orga you can remember that they found some samples to test and they discovered that Godzilla had an incredible healing ability, and why not the ability to evolve many times quicker than any other creature to be able to adapt to his new found powers given to him from the Radiation.

MemberMothra LarvaeJul-04-2013 12:05 AMI would like to see a mix of the '54 and "89 versions but FRIGHTENING and huge!!! I pray they keep his iconic "roar". I like both the "54" and "89" versions!! I am hoping to be "wowed" when I see the film! You don't get to see Godzilla on the big screen too often!!! Please don't give the fans anything that looks like an iguana mixed with a T-Rex because it is NOT Godzilla!!! Let's hope WB and Legendary Pictures get this right!!!

MemberMothra LarvaeJul-05-2013 3:17 PMI just dont think the Godzilla in Godzilla 2000 are right, yes because it doesnt look appropiate, even the Dorsal Fins arent right for me, thats why i like the Heisei more better, plus, the 89 and 91 have that "AWSOME ROAR" which makes me stand out.

MemberMothra LarvaeJul-05-2013 5:01 PMI agree. Godzilla's '54 design and sound defined the character. Much like a comic book, there's room for different artist interpretations, but there are some core things to capture. The '54 Godzilla conveys mass and power through his look and sound, and that got lost from '55 to through '75. IN '84, they wanted to reach back to his origins and I think they did so very well and the suit blended the finer attributes of all the suits before it. Wisely, they returned to his original roars. If you see the Japanese cut of Gojira, the main '84 roar actually was created back then, they only used it once, but it's there. The '89 Godzilla was a big revamp of Godzilla's look, but it still had that presence to it, and I really like that they took the '84 main roar, kept it, but also added to it giving the end of it a bit of an animal quality that was lacking in Ifukube's strings roar from '54. For me, '54 Godzilla is the standard, that's what he was envisioned to be when he was created, and I feel you shouldn't deviate far from that. I really hope Godzilla 2014 embodies those qualities and adheres to his origins. It'd be awesome if they used those same roars too. I know it won't happen, but I really wish we could get a movie using Stan Winston's Godzilla, I thought he did a perfect job of Americanizing the design, still has the look and feel of Toho Godzilla but presents it with the American need to give a more realistic look borrowing textures and designs from real lizards.

MemberMothra LarvaeJul-11-2013 12:11 AMi kinda want it to be godzilla jr. from the heisei series after resurrection

MemberMothra LarvaeJul-11-2013 12:22 PMOne thing I liked about G95 was that the suit went back to the '89/'91 look as far as spikes and body proportions, though it's more like that suit on steroids. I just don't like what they did with his look from '92 to '94. G junior's resurrection look is great.

MemberMothra LarvaeJul-14-2013 2:02 PMApparently Akira Takarada has seen the design while working on the film. From what I remember, he told Bob Eggleton that is was "tall, very thin, millenniumish spikes, and extra arm spikes".
A lot of people are comparing this description to the design on the right:
[URL=http://s1341.photobucket.com/user/ErikBCornell/media/godzilla_partner_by_cheungchungtat-d5oekzu_zps9d095017.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o747/ErikBCornell/godzilla_partner_by_cheungchungtat-d5oekzu_zps9d095017.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
Bob Eggleton, after hearing Takarada's description, imagined something like a meaner version of the Tokyo S.O.S. design.
I believe I've heard that Bob Eggleton also mentioned that he had seen some early concept art for Godzilla a while back. From what I've heard, he said it had a burning/fissioning look and a head similar to the fake bust that was floating around the internet a few days ago.
In my head, I'm picturing something similar to this:
[URL=http://s1341.photobucket.com/user/ErikBCornell/media/godzilla_apocalyptic_by_wogzilla-d45t9wa_zps8f7f2db8.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o747/ErikBCornell/godzilla_apocalyptic_by_wogzilla-d45t9wa_zps8f7f2db8.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
But with the dark colors and jagged textures of the first pic I posted. I'd actually be pretty happy with that.
Really hoping we get a good look at Godzilla's final design at Comic Con next weekend.

First official hint at what G will look like, Comic Con 2013 poster released today, I'm getting excited that it at least has a classic Godzilla feel, even if they're millennium style spikes.

MemberMothra LarvaeAug-06-2013 9:47 AMI liked the Heisei looks too but i would like a 1991 mixed with a bit of Godzilla against Mechagodzilla

MemberMothra LarvaeAug-06-2013 11:05 AMThe late 60's and 70's is the best Godzilla. He had attitude and a personality. He would taunt the other monsters and would celebrate his victories. his patented mouth wipe taunt is my favorite.
