I've taken to calling them Femuto and Hokmuto, though the Hok- doesn't really make sense if he comes from Janjira.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Apparently they deliberately didn't give the MUTOs individual names because they should be thought of as a pair. That's what I've heard as well. They were conceived of as a single kaiju and threat that happens to consist of two separate creatures.

Which is a downright solid gold idea; it sums up their role, motives and mannerisms, and suits the naturalistic approach with the Legendary Kaiju as animals leftover from a goddamn insane ancient ecosystem. But also means that you could probably drop them into a remake or into future Godzilla slugfests or whatever and they'd have a clear role and niche unique to them. (Maybe they'd be like the Ice Climbers in a game)

Got a little bit of a way into Godzilla '84 last night. Can't say I was digging it all that much - it's almost as goofy as the 70s films but without the charming campiness, and the general Cold War greyness was a bit of a drag. Maybe it'll get better in the last third or so though

Watch Godzilla 85 instead so they keep cutting back to Raymond Burr doing his best Orson Welles impression and endless dr pepper advertisements. If Toho ever wanted to use the Mutos again I hope they give them a bit of a redesign, maybe some yellow lightning stripes down their body instead of just the charcoal skin and red eyes. Something to make them stand out in dark battle scenes.

Speaking of Mutos, this nasty is kind of interesting for a book only kaiju.  quote:MUTO Prime shares its basic body shape and appearance with its offspring. However, it is considerably larger and possesses a hardened outer shell along with razor-sharp back spines. MUTO Prime's legs are gigantic and muscular, as are its forelimbs which it uses to knuckle-walk. MUTO Prime's skin is primarily smooth and black, save for its forelimbs which are mostly covered in orange scales. MUTO Prime is genetically programmed to seek out a Titan host for its offspring. After defeating an opponent in battle, MUTO Prime's ovipositors which are guided by detecting uranium in a Titan's blood will stab its foe like a scorpion's tail, implanting parasitic eggs into the Titan's stomach lining. The eggs incubate by breaking down the hemoglobin in the host's blood to feed on the nuclear material, eventually rendering the host unable to replenish its atomic energy until it finally dies. The embryos then continue to develop within the host's carcass for centuries before finally hatching and breaking through its ribcage. The result of this parasitic infection is two subspecies of MUTO Prime, a male and a female which will subsequently mate and reproduce, creating countless offspring which could threaten to overrun the world. Monarch simply designates MUTO Prime's offspring as "MUTOs," an acronym for "Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism."

Having a parasite whose maturity was hastened by the hosts death would also be a neat setup- they kill the big monster, only for a poo poo load of parasites to sprout out of it and rapidly grow. Like those disgusting worms that slither out of drowned insects.

Wizchine posted:Maybe the military attempts to backstab Godzilla at the end of the movie because they decide we don't want to be his pets and he causes too much damage bumbling around, and an angry Godzilla has declared jihad on mankind setting up Godzilla vs Kong. That's a negative on Kong. There's got to be more to it, or else I don't know how they expect it to excite people more than this one.

Kong gets food poisoning from eating too many Ghidora eggs and grows 1.5x bigger and keeps barfing lightning. The battle ends when Godzilla pile drivers Kong into a Grove of trees that turn out to be the antitode.

the zip line ends at the truck, but the ride doesnt end at the truck. from there Ghidorah is driven to the set of Godzilla: King of the Monsters were they must fight Rodan, Mothra, and Godzilla, all whom have been given permission to use wrestling moves on the kaiju

Hype-level: Off the charts. My 10-year old self wanted to see this 25 years ago but I'll be content with seeing it at all. Bonus points: my 12 year-old son will get to experience this as a child. He's already beyond excited. Unlike, say Pacific Rim, I don't feel like we've seen the tip of the iceberg yet. I will save myself from a lot more of the tv spots but the spectacle is really hitting the right notes. I have no idea how GvK is going to remotely top this.

Beef Jerky Robot posted:Was there any confirmation on what those spidery claw things coming out of the ground are? You may want to take this with a grain of salt, but there was a Godzilla '14 teaser that showed footage of a centipede-like kaiju. This kaiju was scrapped for the MUTOs instead. However, some speculate this is the kaiju coming out of the ground in these new trailers. I don't find this unreasonable since they have the CGI model of the kaiju, why not use it
