A lot of people post speculation about the skeleton in the trailers, but I have a definitive answer for everyone regarding the fact that it's not Godzilla.

Look at the spine and the way the ribs are configured, and it's obvious it's not Godzilla. For Godzilla's shape, the skeleton doesn't fit. The ribs run too long down the spine and are far too small to hold internal organs for a creature with Godzilla's girth.

I know it's going to dampen a lot of spirits and hurt a few speculation theories, but it's not Godzilla's skeleton. Of that, I'm 100% certain. All you have to do is look at a picture of the skeleton with increased brightness and a bit of extra contrast and you'll see that the skeleton doesn't fit Godzilla's body shape. It's a skeleton of a creature with a longer, and much thinner body than Godzilla's. Given it's relatively small size compared to the humans standing in front of it, it's only about 100-150 feet long or so. And no, it's not a juvenile Godzilla skeleton either for those who still cling to that false rumor.

An IGN interview said "standing in Godzilla's bones." But nowhere in the article does it confirm it for those who read it. The title of the article was in reference to the fact that they were on the skeleton set for the Godzilla movie, not a direct reference to it being Godzilla's skeleton.

Just wanted to clear all that up for everyone.

The title of this post is highly misleading. This in no way solves anything revolving around that skeleton.

Yes, I agree with you and that it doesn't look like something that would fit with Godzilla's anatomical strucutre, but for all we know, it could be, as Godzilla is a far larger creature than any known animal, and could, therefor, have a skeleton with this kind of structure.

This is a reboot, so taking Kiryu into account is likely not a good, or accurate, argument.

Deviation is not shameful. Conforming is.

TW-G, Well again you do say "You" have the definite answer and not that you got it from an official studio source, so this IS basically specualtion. You could be right, but it definitely isn't officially solved.

Again though with the overhyped thread names and then content just being speculation or lackluster at best, cmon now.

it might be a sub adult godzilla from the past if you think the body is too thin

I've seen lots of people say that it's not Godzilla's and they have details that sounded a lot similar to yours. Do you guys want to know if it's his skeleton or not? Wait for the movie to come out...

I agree. That skeleton is far too slender and the ribs are far too small and numerous to be Godzilla. It looks much more like a snake than a large mutant theropod creature (dinosaurs had a big ribcage that was not at all slender; it supported their chests). And even looking at Godzilla's skeleton it does not look even close... I don't know why they made Godzilla's skeleton look like THAT if they are telling the truth about it

There's a great deal those bones could be. Yet, I've a feeling we won't have defining proof until we've seen the film once it hits theatres. regardless, this girl's fairly certain we'll all be pleased with the answer! :)

Im not sure if anyone has thought of this at all, but since its so slender could it be a tail?

LILGOJIRA911 - It's...possible. That being said, I've never seen, with the exception of serpents, rib-like structures in a creature's tail. an interesting point you've made, nevertheless. :)

oh my gosh, never thought of that, they seemed to be going towards the larger section of the tail in the trailers which means that they might be looking into the belly of the beast and is it possible that young Mutos are crawling around in there?
