True American Godzilla
MemberMothra LarvaeDec-15-2013 4:18 PMAfter my estimated 779' size I, like some of you, have questioned this estimate. Yes, even I question it. I wasn't very happy with it because I didn't have something right NEXT TO Godzilla (at least I could identify) its size to use as a "point of comparison".
Thanks to my good friend Kyero, I was reminded about Edwards comments/hints to Godzilla's size. To quote Kyero who saw the interview concerning the size, "He mentions how certain buildings that were the tallest in the world such as the Empire State Building and then the Chrysler Building were outdone little by little over the years by others around the world, and that's what he's done with his Godzilla."
I said to myself "Okay, let's do that. Let's say the difference between the American Godzilla and the Japanese Gojira, who's 328' tall at best in the movies, is the same ratio as the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building."
The Empire State Building (or ESB) is 1,454' tall. The Chrysler Building (CB) is 1,046' tall. Let's put these into a formula, where AG represents our unknown American Godzilla height.
1,454' {ESB} AG
----------- = ---------
1,046' {CB} 328' {tallest Japanese Gojira in films}
476,912 = 1046AG
456' = AG
So just purely by this calculation, of using the size difference of those two buildings to get the to get the size difference of the American Godzilla to Japanese Gojira, we get a height of 456' tall.
If this is true, then I'm really sorry about that v1 wallpaper showing 779' Godzilla. I was hoping to AVOID putting a size that was way off.
Besides, when Godzilla roars at the end of the trailer, we see taller buildings than Godzilla, and neither one resemble the 2 tallest buildings in San Francisco. This should have been a painfully obvious point that Godzilla can't be in the 700s.
I believe in Jesus Christ, who's my Lord and Savior.
