(I guess there are people out there who are disappointed that Godzilla will not be facing an ultimate foe after all but two smaller ones tagged-team against him?)
I know that during the initial stages of discussions when we didn't have much info, many of us had the theory that the MUTOs were created by man to fight Godzilla. As more details trickled out, I noticed that many of us are getting comfortable with the idea that the MUTOs are indeed the natural enemies of Godzilla. With that comes one lingering question I have regarding the MUTOs.
Suppose these MUTOs are indeed natural creatures that existed in the same period as Godzilla, isn't it rather odd that in terms of anatomical structure and characteristics, they do not seem to belong to that era of existence? In Godzilla's case, apart from it's immensity, we could see a relation between the dinosaurs, in terms of physical appearance and characteristics, such that it's convincing enough for us to know that it existed.
In the case of the MUTOs, they don't seem to lump in with the ancient arachnids or other inverterbrates. The other thing is that they appear to possess bioluminiscence which is chracteristic of deep-sea organisms, but yet at the same time, the MUTOs do not look like they are adapted to thrive in the oceans. In fact, with all that lighting effect on the eyes and body, including an unorthodox body structure, they come off as more mechanical and space-like than ancient.
So I was wondering how would these gel with the concept that the MUTOs are indeed natural ancient enemies of Godzilla and how this idea could be demonstrated to convince the audience, when the MUTOs and Godzilla look worlds apart. It's almost like the MUTOs came down from Mars, while Godzilla thrives on Earth. What are your thoughts about that?
