IGN Rodan theory

(And once again) it is not Rodan.  We now have pictures of the enemy kaiju, if that isn't enough to disprove the Rodan theory...

Or maybe they aren't revealing the secret since it's, idk a twist? If you knew everything about a movie why go see it? I'm sure the sixth sense marketed Bruce Willis as a ghost the entire time right ?

But maybe you wrote and directed the movie so maybe you know.

@Anthony.1432, no, Rodan would be kinda stupid to add into a movie that's supposed to be reintroducing the character to a new audience.  We fans would be the only ones to understand who Rodan is, maybe have an easter-egg about him, but save a Toho Kaiju for the sequels.

people don't need to see the origin story of it to enjoy the character, it could be a nod to fans to know it's him, and plus IGN basically came out and said that's what the secret was, I'm not pulling this out of thin air.

I think that confirms there is one godzilla.

Its either that the skeleton was for 1954 Gojira OR rodan is in the movie, or both :)

^or neither. I'm gonna go with that answer.

Looking at the other foes there's no way Rodan would fit in with them. If they were reptilian, and looked like dinosaurs then I could see a nod at Rodan to go with the other pair, but they have no similarities so unless Rodan comes completely out of left field I don't see it happening

@G2k Yea I was actually going to mention the skeleton but it's not the godzilla shape or anatomy looks like a muto, but I could be wrong, but good idea! I like where your heads at

I don't think Rodan needs to fit in with the Mutos, with the writers they have he could come from a number of different angles.

Gareth said that the origami in the beginning of the trailer has meaning to the "Big Spoiler" after the HALO jump.  I'm placing a bet that Godzilla flies like in Godzilla vs Hedorah O___O 

Or the origami is shaped like Rodan?

First off we don't know for sure that it WONT be Rodan so people need to stop saying that. Second there are several other monsters in the movie so knowing that one kaiju isn't Rodan doesn't mean that Rodan isn't in the film. The toy that's been revealed doesn't exactly look like a flyer. Finally introducing Rodan is far from a bad idea. Having new and old monsters alike is always a great idea for a film like this. We'll have to wait and see though 

^Exactly

I agree with Linkman89.  While I don't personally care one way or another as far as classic Toho monsters showing up in this film is concerned (I'd be perfectly satisfied with just Godzilla and the Mutos), I've been confused at the number of people stating as indisputable fact that no classic monsters would appear.  The most I've heard from official sources actually linked with the film is that the Mutos in particular would be creatures completely original to this new film.

just wow.

Actually in an empire interview with Gareth Edwards, he was describing some of the key points in the main trailer, and he confirmed that none of the old toho monsters are in this film.

Oops

Ofcourse he would say there is no other Toho monsters, that's why they call it a secret... people are so gullible. 

there is another classic monster in the new film. godzilla always call for help if there's more than two monsters against godzilla. there'll be a lot of mutos, they're like ants crawling everywhere and coming out of giant holes. also the director says he'll like to do destory all monsters in the sequel so we will see another classic monsters in the film leading up to the sequel.

ANTHONY.1432 - You are doing the same thing that a few other people have done.

You are projecting your own desires and hopes for the movie into a jumble of information that never once even mentioned your own theory.

That doesn't work ANTHONY.1432.

Rodan is not in this movie. He never was, and he never will be. It has been confirmed by Gareth Edwards himself that all the monsters aside from Godzilla are original and brand new because he wanted to bring something new to the table.

By continuing to support the false rumor that Rodan is in this film, I translate that as you being a troll. Nobody likes a troll ANTHONY.1432. Please don't try and argue or spread this false rumor any further.

It's been 100% confirmed by Gareth Edwards directly, as well as Legendary as a whole, that there are no Toho Kaiju in this film aside from Godzilla himself. Please do not continue to troll with this false rumor about Rodan. It's not funny, it doesn't help anyone, it starts arguments and unnecessarily heated debates, and it's entirely untrue.

Thank you.

Oh yea Im sorry, I forgot to explain, me and IGN got together and decided to prank the world by releasing videos on their page. You guys are all so gullible, unless you wrote the movie stop telling me that you know for a fact that it's not true. In speculating based on evidence provided, and I'm not claiming it to be fact. 

You people are taking the word of a directer who denies the claims because he's PROTECTING THE TWIST.

if you are going to tell me it's not true, you better have some proof you've either:

A. Seen the movie.

B. Wrote the movie. 

If you don't meet any of the qualifications listed above, your the Troll. 

Guys, this is schewing a little too close to a flamewar. Lets try not taking the information personally. If you disagree, explain why then move on. Flame baiting users or calling each other trolls ends here.

If anyone does it again they will be immediately reported and the topic will be closed. Play nice.

Im glad I got to stir up such a passionate debate though, atleast people care about it enough to want to waterboard me for presenting a theory.

I love you Rodan lover's who are in denial, Rodan isn't in the movie. It's ok to cry , just learn to let it go and understand there will be no Rodan. You keep putting out "facts" but it's the denial talking. Here's how to solve that problem

Step 1: Admitting

Step 2: Moving On

Let's all move on Rodan lovers and accept the fate of the movie.

I'm so happy the writing staff took the time out of the busy day to come here and tell us the truth. Thank you for enlightening us @junkerde, you must work for legendary right?

*Sigh* Guys, when Gman commented on here I think he meant for everyone to stop arguing. Anthony, I really like Rodan- I love dinosaurs and he's really pterosaur-like, so he's definitely one of my most favorite Godzilla monsters. But a lot of us have heard everything Gareth has said, and he has pretty much confirmed there won't be ANY of the old monsters in this movie. Like you, it would thrill me, and I would love to see a Toho monster in it, but we have more evidence AGAINST it than PROVING it, or even calling it possible.

In the trailer breakdown video with Gareth, you can clearly tell by what he says about starting from scratch that he actually didn't WANT to put a Toho monster in the film. If he did, why not do it to begin with? Why even make a new monster? Yeah, the idea of designing a new monster AND including an old one is a cool idea, but I think like Junkerde is saying about it being the denial part of us talking, we just like the idea too much and are trying to prove it by putting things together that we're calling 'evidence' that isn't even evidence. Now I'll repeat that I really like Rodan just like you, and I would be happy to find out that I'm wrong, but from what we've all heard and seen so far it's just... too unlikely.

And last, there's no need to be so rude about it. If you believe Rodan will be in the movie that's up to you, but please everyone stop getting on each others case and try to get along. Everyone has a right to their own opinion, and shouldn't be slammed for stating what they believe.

People that don't believe Rodan is in this movie make me sick! (Louis CK)

Everyone has a right to their own opinions. But let's all see the movie before we call our opinions 'facts'. And that goes to everyone, not just Anthony.

@Anthony

according to your logic then ,YOU must be working for legendary, because you absolutely KNOW Rodan is in this movie! GOD just shot down a beam of enlightment on Anthony, now we know the answer to the world's hidden meaning

Also thanks to you, this is why Godzilla-movies has a laughable reputation. Rodan?  are you kidding me? THanks for making a fool of yourself so I didn't have to LOL! I laugh at your displeasure, take your unrequited love for Rodan elsewhere

That last post was a joke, see the parenthesis...this thread is just a theory from IGN that i found, we are all entitled to opinions, i appreciate yours and i think there is a large possibility Rodan isnt in it... But based on my research i think he is. Thank you for presenting a very thoughtful rebuttle though!

yeah and I think your opinion is wrong, when Legendary officially announced no toho monsters, you keep makin a fool of yourself every comment! Please go on, Anthony was chosen by god as our messenger to show us the answer! Clearly he's a higher power then legendary, Im getting teary eyed!

Just a reminder to everyone heckling people who think Rodan is in the film - stop. Everyone is entitled to a theory and an idea here. None of us have seen the film, so nobody can 100% say yes or no to any of these assumptions. Just because it's severely unlikely does not mean it's a stupid discussion. Remember to attack the topic, not the individual. Thank you.

Thank you, Anthony.

I'm sorry that I sounded rude, I just get so tired of people arguing and biting each other's heads off over theories. (Not just talking about you). I'll even edit my last comment.

I really appreciate the fact that you are willing to listen to me, even if you still believe Rodan is in the movie. You're right about opinions, just as I pointed out.

Also, would you mind giving me the link? I personally don't believe that Rodan is in the movie, but I'm open-minded and am willing to hear your reasoning.

Junkerde, stop. Just because you believe Anthony's opinion is wrong doesn't mean you should attack him for it, just as you wouldn't want to be attacked for YOUR opinions.

Chris, thanks for proving the point. We all have our opinions, and everyone gets their own.

Yea definitely I should have posted my proof before anyways....

This is the trailer discussion at about 8:40 they discuss Rodan... Which with this one video means nothing because it's just speculation..

HOWEVER

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8mt8bsiwqPA

This is after they saw 20 minutes of the movie and the "big surprise scene" they talk about how they are not aloud to mention what it is but they say in their rewind theature (first link) they guessed it right. Now there is not many speculations made in the video, except the Rodan Speculation. i just found that interesting.

dinozilla

let's not forget his attitude in his previous posts either, the POSTER does NOT get any special treatment if he acts that way even if this is his thread

/thread

So the answer is in these videos, if anyone has an idea of what it is, post it here and we can discuss!

Well lets just put it like this , if when the film comes out it happens that , well ... there is no Rodan ,  you are gonna be frustrated and probably the movie its going to suck for you and all the people who are trying to convince themselves that Rodan is in it , because you all had all this theorys an hints in your head and hands , and at the end they meant noting ... BUT... if it does happens that Rodan is in the film or was in the film this whole time , and Gareth along with Legendary did a great work hidding the Kaiju, well lets just all be happy that we are gonna get to see  , an updated Rodan , BRAND NEW MONSTERS [Mutos] , AND GODZILLA , and all the theorys of Rodan are gonna be right , lets just leave it like this ok? ... move on.  

I'm sorry I was overly sarcastic to you junkerde .. But watch the videos if you don't think it's right, that's ok just move on. I love a good debate though.
