Legendary Pictures' GODZILLA - !!SPOILERS!!

[MaulFan]

What's amazing to think of is how great the CGI on Godzilla was in this movie and knowing it's just going to get better in the sequels.

So with Godzilla fighting all these flying monsters in the new film….You think Godzilla will resurrect his flying ability?!

You know you would stand up and cheer if he did that.

You know I would. I'd be as giddy as a Gigan

MF...those captures are amazing. I hope every company making a toy has those...

Love these. He almost looks like he has the infamous ears.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

Four years down the line I can't help but wonder if they will make him look different or not. I kind of hope they do. Not drastically, but maybe they some details will be different. How his spines will look, feet, teeth, eyes. They can definitely play around with those and keep the general body the same but get a whole different expression out of him.

I want a Biollante look for the next movie.

 

[MaulFan]

Love these. He almost looks like he has the infamous ears.

If you look at pics and toys, just past his brow, the spikes running to his back are larger, like 2 or 3 of them an then they go really small again until his back and this is the only row like this, I think they did this on purpose to look like ears and in there whole "real animal that inspired the Toho suits", they decided it would be spikes interpreted as ears.

I'm sure just because of advances in the technology, he'll look a little different each movie but overall I'm sure little will change.

Which still confuses me. So the 1954 film, "Gojira", exists as a blu ray in this new movie's universe?


I doubt much will change either, but as we've always seen with Godzilla, even subtle differences or changes make a big difference.

What?? I missed that.

I guess they're saying Gojira was an adaptation of real life events.

Yeah, Gareth Edwards has stated in interviews that the creature in his film is the real Godzilla that has been around since prehistoric times. But, that, based on the legends and myths, the film designs of the Toho Japanese films were the result of witnesses word of mouth and descriptions, so they are a bit inaccurate.

That may be confusing. So basically he's suggesting it's like that there are so many legends of a Yeti, so they make movies based on it using the description from eye witnesses. But then one day the real thing actually shows up and looks a bit different, but it's truly been there all along.

So I don't know if that means that ATJ could be watching "Godzilla vs. Monster Zero" on a saturday afternoon before the events of the film and then Godzilla actually shows up, but not looking like a man in the suit.

The movie doesn't acknowledge the existence of the Godzilla films, just genric Kaiju like Ford's poster. This comment was just the direction given to all the designers coming up with the new Godzilla design, to keep them faithful to what Godzilla has always been, the idea was to create a realistic looking creature that could easily be considered inspiration for Toho's suits. Edwards said imagine if in 1954, the filmmakers had seen a real creature and ran back to the studio to duplicate it as a costume as best they could from memory.

As unique as Godzilla 2014 looks, I could easily see the '54 suit as an artistic depiction of the design made from memory off a brief encounter.

Now that I've seen the movie, I can safely say, I just see this as a Godzilla movie, I don't think of it as separate from the franchise, it's different but they all are.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

Oh....see GE confuses the **** out of me at times.

 

[MaulFan]

I don't know if it's so much Edwards or the people editing the interviews.

What i'd be interested to know is, did the people who did some of the concept art in Art of Destruction get that directive, cuz if they did, they suck, some of those look nothing like a creature that could inspire the Toho suit.

 

[jye4ever]

Are the Ghidorah and Mothra Heisei movies worth owning, the only 2 that I don't own from that era.

 

[MaulFan]

Ghidorah definitely, ignoring the weird time travel story, the rest is solid, Mothra was probably the last decent Heisei film until Destroyah.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

They both should be for cheap. 5-10 bucks each. They are worth that.
