Why there might be two Godzillas

From various sources who saw the 20-minute preview. Each quote should link to the relevant review:

First, there's a big secret full of awesome:

"We also learned a plot point that makes the film 400% more awesome, but Gareth swore us all to secrecy"

 

It's about a monster:

"It's noted in the report that Gareth Edwards asked them not to leak specific details about the monsters in the movie"

 

It's in the HALO jump scene in San Francisco:

Theyshowed the “skydiving” scene from the trailer, with something huge added in. Edwards said, “When you want to watch a movie with a kaiju like Godzilla, you don’t just want to see it fighting humans.”

 

We've been led to believe it's Godzilla, but it's not:

Lastly, I got an extended look at the HALO jump from the first trailer. It was every bit as dramatic as the promo would lead you to believe. You’ve seen a good portion of this.... once the jumpers get lower to the surface of a burning San Francisco, they don’t see exactly what the teaser trailer suggests…

 

So, exactly what else looks kind of like Godzilla, but doesn't quite match? Is it this?

 

I think the MUTOs might just be the warmup for the final act: a big Godzilla vs. "Godzilla" fight. Please someone convince me that I'm reading these facts wrong.

Quote: I personally think these early screeners are talking about The Muto monsters. Remember the toy leak came "after" this 20 minute screening. I think that these people were just wowed with the BIG Muto in the 20 minute clip, since they had no idea what it looked like including 99% of us at that time. The key to remember is the 20 min screening was "before" the toy

-Then why were they asked to keep it a secret from Gareth Edwards? The embargo itself will end on the 17th of this month, as the pictures from Sunday were only leaks. It makes no sense to treat such a thing like a spoiler if we already know that Godzilla will be fighting other monsters, let alone when the toy embargo ends in about a week and a half.

Movie title: Godzilla
Not Godzillas.

I think it'd be a really generic idea and it would come off as uncreative to the general public.

Just my silly opinion......I would like to think that something "BIG" is coming, but most of those screeners were not hardcore G-fans like us. I just think that they saw a Muto and creamed there pants. Most of those people came in with the mind set that Godzilla was going to just rampage a city alone.....lol. These guys (screeners) dont hit up these forums like hardcore G fans like us......they got dozens of movies/ shows to review that most dont even deal with Kaiju. I just think they went in open minded and were blown away by the CGI. I may be wrong about that theory but until something concrete comes out and I aint talking about this brilliant PR game of secrecy that Gareth Edwards is playing.......I am staying grounded......Go Godzilla.

Just got home from work and I'd like to respond to a detailed critique (thank you!)

 

@TW_G-FAN2014  With all due respect, I think you are missing the forest for the trees. Yes, we can evaluate each quote separately rather than as a group and determine that they don't say much. THIS IS TO BE EXPECTED because each writer was sworn to secrecy so they are trying to not give away anything.

But they do each give away a slightly different part of the "forest", allowing us to step back and see something larger in their comments (which I never called facts, btw).

For starters, they all agree that there is something big that has not been divulged yet... one calls it a "400% more awesome plot twist". Another calls it "something huge" added to the skydiving scene. Another calls that scene "every bit as dramatic" and "not what you expect".

Ok, if someone wants to look at that and conclude "Godzilla fights a giant bug", then by all means do so.

I don't see it that way at all. I think the writers are hinting at something bigger, more dramatic, and in the HALO jump scene in SF.

What is it? I don't know, but I seriously doubt that it's a MUTO. There were several already hinted at BEFORE the 20-minute preview was given and, like I said, Godzilla already has a long established history of fighting monsters.

Why do I think it might be a "Godzilla-like" kaiju? I don't know. I'm grasping at straws and hoping someone else has a better idea. I did show a screenshot going around showing what appears to be Gojira spines that don't match Godzilla as an example, but I am open to other possibilities.

But that it's just a MUTO/bug? That's not worth the secrecy.

did you guess ever think it could be either a monster with g dna or a really big monster that is a hoamge of an iconic toho monster (from the showa if you think the heisei monsters are iconic). and i find the latter the most sensible

@GodzillaFan1995

There are some really cool Toho monsters and, of course, some really terrible ones too!

However, the director has been adamant that Godzilla is the only Toho monster so I really don't think there will be any others -- are any that are too similar for obvious intellectual property considerations.

So if it's another kaiju, it's probably an original. I have a warm spot for Ghidorah, so I would love to be wrong, lol.

it is highly unlikly they would have mecha's in this as pacific rim already did that, but i'm not going to speculate what the surprise is becuase i want to be surprised, as long as it is either unexpected or scary or awesome then i'm fine. i'm probably going to have to go off this ite till the movie comes out to avoid the toy pics and speculation as well

Edwards said he drew inspiration for the Mutos from Starship Troopers and Alien. Just by observation, I can see the ST influence, but not Alien. Is it possible that the Mutos plant their offspring in a host similar to Alien. Possibly, Godzilla is walking up on a Muto who has just done such in a "2nd" Godzilla in the Honolulu shot, which is now dead. The Halo sequence in San Fran, could be the offspring of the Host and the Muto... A mutated Godzilla... Maybe, far fetched...

Hello, im new to the forums. My name is Jared and im 12 years old.

 

I seriously dont think they are gonna make Godzilla fight tiny little monsters. If that is the case, im not going to watch the movie at all. There has to be something behind the trailers. Possibly rodan maybe? 2 Godzillas is def a thought, or even a tag team where Godzilla and Godzilla.Jr team up against a huge monster or something. Maybe the mutos will form together like Destroyah or something!
