"That monster will never forgive us."

That line, along with the tone of the trailer and bits of his design make me think that Yamazaki is going to play up the tragic nature of Godzilla a bit.

Just look at him

He's pissed. You can tell because his are are more expressive and attentive. He's not just an animal like Shin was, and while we are probably still more like ants to him, we are ants he notices.

It's like he is lashing out for the pain humanity gave him. Physically and (just conjecture on my part) emotionally.

Maybe Godzilla lost his family to the nuclear test, and unfortunately, Japan just happened to be the closest thing near by that he could attribute to the massacre. Some of the teasers even seem to hint that Godzilla is actively going after ships on his way to Japan.

I don't know, maybe I'm wrong but I think it would just be interesting narratively if this was the case. The monster attacking has suffered a similar tragedy to that of the people of Japan. I just think it would be a nice change of pace for Toho to give him some emotion again.

i have finally seen Every Single Godzilla movie ever made. ask me anything

[ganondoodle]

you know, a plothole (kinda, its one to me) i havent even talked about before is .. how is there basically no sonau tech in the past, or isnt shown nor used; the only thing i remember is that weird half assed way to try and make us care about the apparent time zelda had spent there and tell us in a tiny text you have to find scattered above the sky that she "tamed a construct beast" which .... could be anything bc its so vague and non-interesting and .. maybe one or two non-combat constructs in the background in a few of the cutscenes

but given how many constructs there are alive in totks present, and more are broken down that were probably working back in the past, did they even use anything of it against ganondorf? like, i know its called a war but we only see ganondorf charging on that badass horse we never see again and that bit lasts like .. 5 seconds? and he just ... somehow ends up in that cave so far below the earth with the other sages? HOW did he even get there

the constructs you find in the game can be pretty tanky and packing quite a punch, theres auto-targeting mini tanks, lasers and fire/electric/ice throwers, bombs and otherwise explosives, couldnt they have easily fought against some bokblins even if they were miasmafied

or am i supposed to believe ganondorf became THAT strong just through that little magic pebble (isnt that a little insulting too?), while all the other stone having people are so much more inferior AND have gans bossfight not be that hard is kinda ... weird? i know link is special an all, but he doesnt have a stone and the sages dont really add to his powerlevel, the msot they do is distract gans little clones for a bit

doesnt that, and how irrelevant the whole sonau tech actually is to the plot, feel even more like its a thing put in there just to showcase that they could do it (like ... a tech demo) and like its an unfitting sandbox element just for some very dedicated players to build entire war maschines for viral videos out of but the vast majority will not have that kind of patience nor fun with that (i for one do not care to laser explode or otherwise terrorize little enemy camps with otherwise overly ridiculous weapons bc its not fun and really not worth the effort to me)

monsterverse theory: origin of titans(and what sets them apart from superspecies)

part 1:

the monsterverse titans always seemed weird to me. the monsterverse tries to fit them in a realistic evolutionary context, yet nothing about them fits modern taxonomy

you’ve got gojiras, reptiles with fish characteristics, even though amphibians diverged from fish and devolved gills long before reptiles ever evolved

you’ve got behemoths, sloths with elephant tusks, although sloths and elephants aren’t closely related at all

you’ve got scyllas, cephalopods with crustacean characteristics, even though those organisms are nowhere near related enough to share characteristics

and then GxK rolls around. there’s nothing interesting about it by itself. what’s interesting is in the novelisation

listen here: the novelisation suggests that godzilla absorbed some of tiamat’s dna while evolving.

godzilla absorbed dna

nobody’s noticed this which really surprises me. i don’t think anyone here understands the sheer importance of this statement. it explains LITERALLY EVERYTHING about the titans

here’s where the theory gets juicy: this statement on its own is alright, but now let’s make an assumption. every titan can absorb dna

this explains it. notice how every single titan is a chimera of sorts. godzilla is a chimera of lizards and fish, scylla is a chimera of cephalopods and crustaceans, etc

this explains how they are chimeras. the titans are able to absorb dna from other organisms and assimilate it into their physical characteristics, evidenced by godzilla’s evolution. it’s how they evolved. it allows them to have such whacky compositions

to further support this, look at how many mammalian titans there are so far: only behemoth and the kongs

this makes sense, because mammals didn’t diversify until the cenozoic, there was less dna to absorb, less characteristics to assimilate, it explains why there are so few, they’ve only begun to emerge

whereas the more ancient clades like the reptiles, cephalopods, have far more titans resembling them, because they’ve existed for so long, they’ve had more time to collect characteristics over the centuries

hell even the plants have their own titan, amhuluk

this also explains their powers(albeit to a poor degree). their ability to absorb dna would have sped up their evolution, forcing millions of years of evolution into a human lifespan. if you have that many evolutions happening, it’d be bound to happen eventually that some titans would evolve the ability to feed on radiation or emit it, evolve powers like atomic breath or ice breath

Random Godzilla thoughts:

I've been on a Godzilla binge recently, having watched Monarch Legacy, Godzilla X Kong, Minus One, and Chibi Godzilla just this year and I've had some interesting thoughts on all of them that I hope Godzilla fans can answer!

It's funny how in the American movies, Minus One, and some of the classic movies too, Godzilla still has the origin of being a unique standalone prehistoric monster in the modern day that just gets bigger and irradiated from the atomic testing, as opposed to being an ordinary animal that gets mutated into a kaiju (Which was a misconception I had as a little kid). It's interesting how that specific choice adds an extra layer of needing to suspend disbelief- not necessarily in a bad way though!

Also it's interesting how Godzilla gets his name in-universe between versions, seeing as the real origin for it is so lighthearted and campy, being "Gorilla" + "Kujira" (Japanese for whale) because he was meant to be SO much more of a giant monster than that darned American King Kong, haha. In Minus One it's just what the locals of the Pacific island called it, but in the Monsterverse we still don't actually know where the name comes from. In the Monarch Legacy flashbacks it's just referred to as "the creature" or something, and then in a more recent 1950s flashback, Dr Keiko is already calling it Gojira with no explanation on where the name came from. So as the Monsterverse shows and movies continue, I'll be interested to see if they ever want to explain where the name comes from! In GxK, Skar King and Shimo are named in ancient translated Iwi records (Isn't it WILD that the Iwi named Shimo after the Japanese word for frost?) so maybe Godzilla's name exists in some old carving too, elsewhere in the Monsterverse.

My whole life I've thought the beam of energy Godzilla fires from his mouth was officially called the Atomic Breath. But in Godzilla X Kong, Minus One, AND Chibi Godzilla, it's officially called a Heat Ray. So is "Atomic Breath" just a fanon thing? Because actually it would make a lot of sense- in the back of my mind I always wondered how Godzilla movies rarely talked much about how the mere presence of something as radioactive as Godzilla should make even the un-destroyed parts of cities uninhabitable after an attack (The Monsterverse films get away with it by claiming that many Titans eat "bad" radiation and convert it into "good" radiation). But if the beam is just mostly heat energy with very little radiation, that makes more sense. And even moreso for the versions of Godzilla who actively eat radiation to live, because otherwise why would they just spit it back out all over again?

If I got something wrong here, hardcore Godzilla fans are more than welcome to clown me, but I'd love to hear more discussion on small little details like these that are surprisingly consistent across very different Godzilla projects!

1 fucking month left, and I AM EXCITED.

Do you think this scene will lead Jia up to the crystal stairs so she can summon Mothra?

[dappercritter]

"Even as a child running scared with my family as it demolished our neighbourhood, I always wondered, 'Why?' Why does Godzilla exist? Why is he so angry at us?' I don't know if I'll ever find all the answers to these questions in my lifetime, but I want to try! As long as I'm alive and the kaiju are part of our world, I want to know and I want to share. That is my dream." - Audio excerpt from Akira Nakajima's job interview with KAMI's biology lab transcripted.

@iamthekaijuking did this sweet redesign for ChaosGoji a few months back but due to the two of us being preoccupied with less than fun things at the time we never shared it.

Since it's Godzilla Day and I don't have any major updates to share yet, I thought I'd change that and give you all a new look at our very own Godzilla!

(redesign details below)

In short, King just rid of goji’s chest protrusion to make him more hydrodynamic and gave him chest plating. I approved since I felt CG's underside felt a little bare before but I wasn't sure if I was being nitpicky or not.

(and I'm very nitpicky)

Anyways REMEMBER TO LIKE AND FOLLOW KAIJUKING'S TUMBLR AND SUPPORT HIM ON HIS PATREON

REALL

Bruh Kevin is literally Monsterverse's Willian afton. He already die 3 times I guess? also in the novel is sugested he's in Ren's body. like??

Do you think Sauce would have a Rayquaza, yes or no?

i think sauce would have a rayquaza that showed up in his early life as a child like fairy oddparents showing up to miserable children. & he did all the research he could on how to treat it right and feed it and love it and care for it and clean it, and they became inseparable friends. He calls it Ray Ray his worm friend and it calls him [ DISTORTED INCOMPREHENSIBLE DIGITAL SCREAM ]. they have their own signature dap using Ray Ray's tiny trex arms and everything. people keep trying to steal ray ray because he's a legendary, but ray ray always wins because common thieves don't have legendaries. and then sauce ran into Aaron Rodgers with his cryptic Deoxys (u guys don't know how much that name hurts my brain to try and type) (i may Have Something) and love of discovering more about pokemon through battle , and Ray Ray didn't win this time

jeez i knew oppenheimer probably wouldn't be a very balanced image of the dropping of the atomic bomb but I didn't think they'd just straight up not show a single japanese person the entire film

Kiryu sketches for @dappercritter’s chaos theory fic

[floatingcamel23]

minecraft titans?

this theory might be true. lets dive in shall we? ok so hear me out: there might be titans in minecraft. how do i konw this? the fossils. the ribs are too big to be a theropods, nor is the skull small enough for any dinosaur. we already have the giants (if they count as titans) and the wither storm (if minecraft story mode is canon) plus we have magic items, a dragon in outer space and the undead so a titan isnt that far fetched. i would see them as giant reptiles like godzilla but the skull aint matching. could it be the remains of a ancient creatuer or a biome destroying titan? you decide!

[ask-cloverfield]

how many different godzillas have there been, do you know? before starting to run the series, i had the idea that it was all the same creature, but it seems like the godzillas of godzilla and godzilla raids again did both actually die and get replaced by another random godzilla. mothra seems to die and get replaced repeatedly, too!

If my memory serves there are 4 Godzillas who are different members of the species that replace the first after it dies.

There is the second Showa Godzilla, The Heisei Godzilla is established to be the second to appear (Altho we start off following it so this is a tad debatable)

Godzilla Jr. takes over for their old lizard at the end of Heisei and into the Vs. shorts. The Kiryu Duology also has that Godzilla be the second to appear while the original needs its bones returned to the sea.
