Re: GODZILLA RESURGENCE - Toho Studios To Return to Godzilla in 2016!
I can see it as a variation on the '54 now, and I do see it as a more terrifying rendition and I'm eager to see him in action now.
I've been thinking a lot about how I could take such a 180 with this and I was thinking about my reaction to the first look at Legendary's Godzilla and I realized it all came down to expectation.
With Legendary, I had the bar low since there was no reason to assume they'd go right where Sony went so wrong, so when it came out, and I instantly could see the influences of the '84 Godzilla, I was shocked and excited and blown away.
With this Godzilla, my expectation was an effort to be more scary, but would not look too different from classic suits, something along the lines of this.
So far, this is one of the most unique designs among all Godzillas, and because of that, my first reaction was this doesn't look like Godzilla and my mind focused on why.
After taking a day away from looking at it, I came back to it with the mindset that, it is Godzilla, and once I accepted it as that, I started to see the Godzilla qualities and not looking at him in a ridiculous light.
I still see flaws in the image, I think they were foolish to go with such a perfect profile show, I think this angle hurts getting a feel for his cheeks and nose and the overall shape to the face
