So, I'm working on a write-up for the front page of Godzilla-Movies.com, analysing and breaking down every scene of the trailer in hopes to hopefully explain what the hell is going on. I spent the majority of this afternoon taking screenshots of every scene, and I've listed most of them below for you to inspect. 

I mentioned in this news article, that I would like input from more fans to help create a well-rounded analysis - complete with opinions, facts and speculation. So, if you want to help me break down every scene to its core, have at it! You can use the screenshots to help make your points. I'll be dropping in and out to see what you all say and to contribute my own thoughts as well.

Let's hear your thoughts!

On the last train wreck picture, you can clearly see that the monster that is attacking is muto......

It does look almost like they put Godzilla in a diet for this trailer, doesn't it? Haha The snout seems longer, like Godzilla 2000 and his neck looks thinner. But okay - on to analysis.

I do agree, the subway attack is MUTO.

It's hard to see, but in this screencap (below) it looks like you can see membrane, as if from a mouth part, coming down into the car:

See? Also it has that white-grey color which was described as MUTO's color.

ITS NOT A SUBWAY! >.<
Its a bridge, you can see buildings far away and the bridge being torn appart by the creature

MemberMothra LarvaeDec-10-2013 7:44 PM

I do see the Muto but i don,t really see so much white colour on it and i really cant see the mouth

XXSABERBLACKCROW have you seen the kaiju in the aircraft carrier in Pacific Rim?
His head is just like that. Its very similar to that kaiju

I get that something is biting / ripping through the train and i do agree that NOT Godzilla. However, i dont see at all where there is an eye or a mouth.  Can anybody point these out in the pic for me?

 

On a side note I dont think they are called MUTO's anymore.  I have a strong feeling that M.U.T.O. is only the name of this agency that is investigating the sinkholes and not the creatures themselves.

Ok. lookslike a city on the US west coast Maybe SF, From the way the paratroops are landing they have NO idea of what going on.The sky looks like it's. For lack of a better term ON FIRE.I'm thinking that Godzilla came ashore no one And I MEAN NO ONE knew what the hell was happening

Everyone is only looking at the train scene has anyone bothered to look at this picture.

Thair gonna fire a nuke at Godzilla which tells me that there gonna know nothing about him and are pretty much screwing themselves over but that means they never explain his origins to the charicters.

Godzilla+What-made-him-angry-at-humans/messed-up-his-life(The Atom Bomb)= An even more angry, more powerful enemy. Remember what happened to the Heisei Godzilla after a nuclear sub crashed into it? It got larger, and angrier.

And its redundent to talk about it here because chris just started a new thread all about what i was talking about.

your missing the spot wher it shows the soldier jumping off what looks like a dam? also when they are sky diving you see flashs of "lighting". but i think this is godzilla's spikes lighting up, and then him breathing his fire (second blue flash).

also there seems to be two different reactors under attack.

In what I believe is the 11th frame, it almost appears as if one of the soldiers is about to land on Godzilla's head. Or is that just a flare? In the 24th frame, I wonder if the woman's frightened reaction is in response to one of the mutos on the loose trying to break into whatever facility their in. I do see a bunch of guys in lab coats which could mean that their scientists working in the MUTO facility.

Watch the train scene VERY CAREFULLYand while your doing it think about that being mouth parts and you can see the head.

I am wondering if many are assuming Godzilla is the complete "bad guy" in all this. When I look at the footage of the wrecked train (scattered off the tracks) I don't see any footprints that would be from Godzilla tearing the train apart.  

It is possible to pay homage to the "badass nature" of Godzilla - and not have Godzilla destroy everyone and everything in sight. Maybe it's not Godzilla the Nuclear Bomb is being aimed at? Could it be the nuclear bomb is aimed at a MUTOS and the radiation from that blast is what brings Godzilla? 

I think this is gonna be interesting either way.

This isn't only my opinion, but those of others as well I've noticed, but the insect-monsters (referred to as mutos just to make it easy) could be modern retelling of Destroyah/Destroyer. M.U.T.O., the group, could be a shadow group that has been monitoring strange things related to kaiju, as the mutoresearch.net site hints at (for example, the Turkmenistan fire hiding a membrane.) They could have come across a "living fossil" of sorts, a creature thought to be extinct but still being alive. Except, it's actually a group of eggs. Maybe they got out of control and formed colonies all over the planet.

For those of you having trouble seeing the Mutos in the train scene, here is another screen shot. 

This particular one has pale grey skin, which is mottled with specs of brown. From what I can guess, this is a head biting into the train that then pulls upwards out of the frame. This mutos seem to have a head that is similar to those depicted in the early "eye-witness" sketches, and its mouth opens with a set of several triangular jaws. It even looks like there is a dark green tongue between the two supposed jaws shown in this particular frame.

Imagine both the upper and lower halves of a bird's beak being split down the middle, leaving four pointed beaks that converge at a point when closed (and fan out when opened).

Watch the train scene carefully, and I'm certain you'll see what I'm talking about. The mouth opens up towards the audience (hence the flesh-coloured mouth membrane in Chris' screenshot).

Going by your "history", I'm going to bet that you're 100% accurate in your "assumptions". hahaha Thanks for adding a lot more detail to this "MUTO Mystery". The sketch helps too. I figured it would be somewhat bird-like with it's face. 

I'm really, REALLY curious to see what these things originated from. The anticipation for more info is killing me.

MemberMothra LarvaeDec-11-2013 12:37 AM

Keep in mind that's a very simplified (and angular!) sketch, nothing more than an attempt to convey the orientation of the jaws in this scene. Personally, I wouldn't pay any mind to their size relative to the rest of the head or the curvature at each jaw's tip (I would also ignore the sad excuse for an "eye" that I drew).

MemberMothra LarvaeDec-11-2013 12:43 AM

I went back to the trailer and looked at it frame by frame. What I don't get is the 3rd frame.. That does not look like a bird to me. I copied 4 frames 2 leading up to the 3rd then the 4th showing whatever it is pulling away. The face looks rounded to me... 

I could be wrong.. Hope these upload correct. :)

The scene where you see Godzilla through the goggles, amid all the smoke etc., does it look as if Godzilla could go from being bipedal to a quadruped?  Just the way he is leaning over in an extreme way makes me ponder that question.

This is a bit far fetched, but could one of these possibly "man-made" creatures wind-up actually turning into Godzilla?

Just adding to my last post.  The idea of him having the ability to be a quadruped only comes to thought because in that scene, leaning over he had a slight Stegosaurus look to him.  After all, they had those plates on their backs for Thermoregulation.

I'm not suggesting in anyway he is one, is related to one etc., just it struck me how he looked like one leaning over like that

I thought this might be helpful in the trailer discussion. This was just sent to me.

Holy crap! The Japanese trailer has extra footage of Watanabe and a cut-scene from the Comic-Con trailer! Is this on YouTube yet?
