I had a thought. Eco lady says that humanity is entering an extinction event. I'm wondering if this movie will go the route that the great extinction events in earth's history are actually caused by massive Kaiju battles. Like Ghidorah and Godzilla had a fight so destructive it caused the Permian Triassic extinction or the KP boundary and the "meteor" crater in the Gulf of Mexico is actually the battleground for Kaiju.

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:My guess is that the angle is global warming melted the ice keeping Ghidorah contained, therefore she doesn't feel bad about freeing Rodan and Mothra and them running loose on humanity in the process. The character's reactions are because jesus christ lady these things are gonna kill us all. Yeah the Farmiga character, like the scientists in the first one, is obviously full of poo poo. Her speech doesn’t even make sense (they’re a fever, we’re an infection, but we need them to save us? Nonsense) and she doesn’t care

Great trailer. G14 really set the stage that the monsters in the film really couldn't give a drat about humanity because we were beneath their notice. Godzilla was a force of nature (more like an ageless, invincible avatar of the Earth) meant to restore balance. In this film, it appears he's in the same role though where Rodan and Mothra fit in, I don't know. Obviously Ghidorah is the "bad guy" but he seems to be something truly malicious. If the snippets from the Monarch Sciences website are literal, Ghidorah can literally destroy mankind just by flying around. We'll fight back, sure, but the army never can stop the monsters. Godzilla was only briefly shown in the trailer, and I think for good reason. Rodan and Mothra, even Ghidorah, will probably be showcased more than Big G in the final cut because the mystique of Godzilla in these films is that he's transcendent in some fashion. Ghidorah, though bigger and more catastrophic, is a usurper and false king. I love the poster because it makes Godzilla look like a gnat. When Godzilla is the perceived underdog, that's a hell of a thing. (I keep fearing that this movie will completely nuke my hope for Godzilla vs. Kong. If Godzilla can stop something on the scale of Ghidorah, what the hell is Kong going to do, or at least, how ham-fisted and arbitrary will the plot be that Godzilla is challenged by him?)

Yeah the scale of destruction shown on this means I have no loving idea what they’re going for for GvK unless it’s a continuaron god whatever this movie sets up with Kong (now fully grown) leaves Skull Island to help balance the Earth.

One of the most important implications from the monarch website is the red part about Ghidorah. Godzilla and friends are obviously intelligent. This version of Ghidorah may be sentient.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Crazy twist: the girl from Stranger Things are the twins and we’ve seen them both in the trailer just never together. Also you see the same ship from Ghidora’s scene on Rodan while he’s on top of the volcano. Ghidorah is frigging massive. Honestly, I'd have to go back and watch but in the picture of the family on the iPad I think I remember seeing two kids about the same age, and not just the one kid. So honestly, a pretty safe bet. edit: there are two kids, but they're not the same age, though both look like girls with brown hair, sooo... maybe?

Ideal surprise scenario, Godzilla CAN'T stop something on the scale of Ghidorah alone and her entire speech happens halfway through the movie and is in reference to awakening King Kong.

It turns out that the Legendary Goji movies are just a big budget adaptation of the flashback sequence of Planet of the Monsters and these movies are going to end with a shot of some rear end in a top hat kid named Sazaki.

Oh, there'd be zero tension if Godzilla could stop Ghidorah on his own. I think Godzilla will get a crack at Ghidorah and lose in the second act (setting up the third) but at the end of the day, he's going to be one landing the coup de grace. Kong making an appearance could happen, as could half a dozen of the other monsters alluded to in the Monarch ARG. This film could be more of a mash-up of Ghidorah The Three-Headed Monster and Destroy All Monsters. I would be down for a Destroy All Monsters beatdown.

I don't think that's Mothra emerging and unfolding her wings from beneath the sea, I think that's her emerging in the middle of Ghidorah's hurricane that the ARG says Ghidorah generates when he flies. I'm guessing it will roughly go: Ecoterrorist wakes up Rodan, Rodan wreaks havoc -> Monarch wakes up Godzilla, Godzilla beats down Rodan -> Ghidorah arrives and beats down Godzilla -> Mothra wakes up and fights Ghidorah -> Godzilla gets his second wind and teams up with Mothra to kill Ghidorah -> post-credits teaser shows Kong has learned to swim Cythereal fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Jul 21, 2018 |

I think a suit of powered armor might be more in order, given that he'd be facing a Godzilla who's prevailed over this apocalyptic clusterfuck, even if he needs Mothra's and humanity's help to do it. On the other hand, if the supposed leak's post-credit bit is true, Destoroyah waking up would be a more than suitable bad guy for Godzilla and Kong to team up against after an inconclusive battle between themselves.

Also interesting, the actress playing the ecoterrorist lady noted in an interview that her character has invented a device that lets her speak with the kaiju - and, she believes, control them. I'll take "Jesus Christ That's A Bad Idea" for 500.

It could be that she's right, the Titans ARE part of maintaining Earth's natural balance - but Ghidorah is an invasive species. From, uh, space.

The comic half century war has a Kaiju attracting plot thingy that wouldn't be too dumb for a movie. Film looks awesome and the Godzilla + jets scene sent me straight back to being a little kid cheering for Godzilla to save the earth. He's so grumpy now too!

I was thinking that Ghidorah is like a natural function of the Earth. When things are messed up enough to melt the polar ice caps, Ghidorah comes out, and unleashes a thousand years of terror until the Earth starts cooling again. The other monsters are probably the only reason that there is still life on Earth.

Like Bigfoot, there isn’t a single Kong. There may only be one *King* Kong, but they are legion. And they are here to conquer the broken remnants of humanity left tattered after the great Titan war. This truly is a Planet of the Kongs. Or there could be one Kong, I don’t remember what Skull Island said.
