Bring back Megalon and Titanosarous, just cause I like that movie a lot.

DLC Inc posted:Not gonna lie, I'd love to see Gigan's hosed-up rear end return in a future movie if only because he is SO WEIRD. He was part of some truly awful movies but at least Final Wars acknowledged how terrifying he was and stuck him in as the midboss of the finale. He had a decent showing in the old NES game as a higher level boss but that's even more forever-ago.

He's just got so many cool elements and a cool name. I remember getting really excited when G14 trailers were dropped because I thought the Mutos' weird hook arm might have been Gigan's claw. Anguirus toy was my second favorite and Biollante third (because he couldn't really move).

Does make me wonder how the Legendaryverse will take on the weirder Kaiju, if at all. Pacific Rim had its own handwave with interdimensional alien biotech, but the Legendary films are focusing more on the ancient superspecies angle, which I have to admit I really like, because obscure and weird evolutionary dead ends are awesome. They might go for magical realism at the very least with Mothra, Hedorah has been hinted at, and Ghidorah... I get the feeling they might throw a curveball and have him be an outright alien organism when everyone assumes another ancient superspecies, but we'll hafta see. Aliens would be a big genre intrusion on the more nature-horror themed films. (Though I also like the idea of Ghidorah being mutant conjoined triplets, too horrible to die)

If they keep up the prehistoric leftovers angle, there's stuff like Megalodon and giant squid. They could MUTO up a few of those and be good for a while. I agree that adding clear-cut aliens would likely be a mistake - very easy to mishandle.

Also about the first clear cut case of one Kaiju preying on another for the purpose of food.

Gigan and Megalon are definitely no-shows. we'd sooner see Gigan in a Japanese movie instead, more likely. they could update the mechagodzilla take on it by trying to create a bio-mech Godzilla but it gets hosed up royal and need hand amputations and prosthetics, which leads to it looking like Gigan, but that wouldn't happen in Legendary pictures either

Both the ending of Kong and the official synopsis for King of the Monsters seem to imply Ghidorah is from Earth. But I think it'd be cool if they made Ghidorah the thing that killed the dinosaurs in prehistoric times, like in the later Mothra movies.

Watching Shin with the dub AND the subtitles really shows you how much punch was taken out of the dub. It doesn't feel nearly as biting. It's not necessarily bad, it just feels more conventional.

Now that it's out, how did they end up dubbing American Girl? They just leave her dialog intact for all the hilarity that would entail or did they drop that part of Her character? remusclaw fucked around with this message at 05:46 on Aug 15, 2017 |

Mechagodzilla is pretty much the original Jaeger, right? Wouldn't be surprised if that's the natural escalation of humanity having to deal with monsters, creating their own monster to try and fight them. Possibly a bio-mechanical being made out of Kaiju remains, since they're the only materials strong and versatile enough to make a giant robot work. Oh hey, if they're hinting the Oxygen Destroyer, that's a different way of escalating.

PriorMarcus posted:Don't the Muto's eat and lay eggs in Godzillas and the Skullcrawlers eat Kongs? Or do you mean specifically shown on screen? The latter, not just implied or stated. (also, it's apparently called the Mire Squid, and is a squid/octopus hybrid, or at least an evolutionary offshoot with aspects of both) The Kaiju must be made of incredibly strong and exotic materials just to beat the square cube law, Pacific Rim even played on how Kaiju bodies are gold mines for scavengers. Wouldn't be surprised if both the Pacific Rim and Godzilla sequels played on humans finding uses for Kaiju body parts. Apparently one version of Mechagodzilla was already basically an EVA.

They basically just dropped that part of her character. All her lines are dubbed over, even the parts where she spoke English. Which kinda makes it weirder when she says those lines.

Mechgodzilla is a pretty iconic Godzilla kaiju though, right up there with Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah. If they don't have MechaG outright, they'll tease it or reference it. Re: Gigan chat Gigan would make an interesting example of a "modern" kaiju: one humanity accidentally creates. Big G in the new Monsterverse is ancient and not particularly tied to the atom bomb in this iteration so Gigan being the result of rogue genetic modification/nanotech would be apropos for today's audience. Ancient evolutionary alpha predator vs modern engineered experiment gone wrong. It's a pretty good dichotomy if the setup is remotely believable.

Honestly, I would prefer it if the alien monsters were still aliens. There's this screenwriting 101 thing in modern Hollywood where every fantastical element has to come from the same source, or the characters have to be related in some way, and its kind of crap. e: So you can't have "ancient monsters are awakening on Earth" and "aliens are invading" as two different plot devices because that's too many disparate elements or whatever.

Would be interesting if they assume Ghidorah must be another ancient, mutated superspecies, then with considerable difficulty they get a sample from him and realise it's not remotely like any terrestrial creature, including Godzilla.

That weirdly gives me Nier: Automata vibes. Earth being rendered effectively uninhabitable to humans and the survivors fleeing to space does sound like the logical endpoint of having Kaiju around, Pacific Rim specifically demonstrated the concept is a slow apocalypse. Also reminded of Half-Century War; 'Half the world was in ruins and the other half was waiting its turn'.

Not too sure about the CGI yet, but hopefully it'll all work out. The studio has done some good budget work before, and hopefully this will have a slightly higher budget
