Ask Ghidorah and Gigan.

Ghidorah and Gigan are at least on the same weight class as Godzilla, what can guys like the Joker, Dr Octopus or Bizarro can do to him?

Gigan and Ghidorah are basically space mercenaries. They work for whoever is willing to pay. What kind of super villain can’t spot a few bucks for a henchman.

You know I took this at face value as a kid but reading it now... There's a lot of unanswered questions here.

What currency do you use to pay space monsters?
How do you communicate?
Is there some kind of contract (neither monster even has hands...)
Are there more space monsters? A union?

The answer to all of these questions is Mind Control.

I imagine it'd be like if smurfs paid a normal human to smash up other smurfs and then they get stopped by a normal sized alligator. Maybe the smurfs have like gold or something. Maybe like Gigan's society finds the nickel that makes up the moon super valuable.

I want to see this episode.

There's always been a bit of a theme of kaiju being weaponised and commodified. Pacific Rim kinda ran with that.

In my opinion you should try and pay Ghidorah in hopes he doesn't gently caress poo poo up on your planet but I realize even if you could pay him, he'd still probably eat everything alive. He's tough but fair.

I love how in Megalon they just called up Space Hunter Nebula M and were like "uh can we borrow your hosed up chicken lizard" and it was like yeah no prob brah. If we're gonna get some kind of stinger for King of the Monsters or the Kong movie I hope it's a tease towards Gigan because I'd love to see that weird fucker come back in this decade.

Space monsters are just dragons, they’re paid in the most delicious virgins you can find

I finally watched Godzilla anime 2, and, eh...I guess it was more interesting than 1, but most of that is because I found it more interesting to spend a movie trying to reinvent Mecha and teasing Mothra and Ghidorah than fighting tiny metal bird monsters and not showing Godzilla. Not that there's much more Godzilla in this one.

The heartbeat tracker animation is definitely an outline of Showa Ghidorah in flight, right?

Words cannot describe how excited I am about this movie. I loving loved Godzilla 2014, and having Rodan (described by Dougherty as "a winged A-bomb"), Mothra and motherfucking King Ghidorah in one movie ... I'm so there.

Same. I'm a huge fan of the design of this Godzilla -- he's a cranky big boy and I love him -- and I'm excited to see Mothra. I really hope Ghidorah is terrifying and awe-inspiring.

It's going to be interesting to see the designs since they don't have to compensate for shoving a human inside.

I'm really curious what they're going to do with Rodan to make him a threat. G14 is a pretty beefy old dude and Rodan's never had much to him.

Those look less like leaks and more guesses based on the Skull Island credits scene. If they were actual concept art, there'd be a lot more to them than just one drawing in the same angle as the reference. Also, there'd be inking and coloring rather than just pencils.

They're from that 4chan leak. Someone supposedly saw an early version of the film with incomplete sfx.

Back in the good old days (1964), Rodan was basically as big and heavy as Godzilla and went toe to toe with him in a pretty physical brawl before it degenerated into rock-throwing.

For me it's King Ghidorah. A three-headed flying dragon is pretty much the stuff of nightmares.

And Rodan being more than "flying beast that decides to help out Godzilla because reasons" will be so great. I imagine he'll be pictured as more of a giant-sized pterodactyl.

If that above design is true, it's interesting that they worked in arms into the design of Ghidorah's wings

Well, I think designs of CG monsters supposedly based on a version of the film that didn't even have all its CG done are also somewhat shaky grounds.

I'm not sayin' they're bad designs, I'm just saying Legendary has been keeping these particular cards close to their chests for a good while now and I'm not gonna trust anything til I see a trailer.
