a friend of mine on Tumblr who is really good at doing Kaiju and other monster art recently started up a series of drawings with the intention of eventually drawing more or less every Toho monster(and stuff from licensed Godzilla stuff too)*, so far he's done about 50 of them(with the most recent batch being dropped only a couple hours ago) and according to him he's nowhere even remotely close to being finished; https://tyrantisterrorart.tumblr.com/tagged/TT-Draws-the-Godzilla-Gang *there is one little "cheat" with what he's doing, for certain characters with multiple versions he's only doing one version and/or folding elements from multiple versions together(for example he's only doing one of the various "Son of Godzilla" monsters with his being based primarily on the Heisei "Jr" as he's not the biggest fan of either Minya or Godzooky from my recollection)

If Singular Point gets continued(that little post credits scene in Episode 13 seems to make it clear they want to) I think it will definitely benefit from having done most of the science stuff in this first season(overall I feel like I had a decent enough understanding of most of it since a lot of it I've encountered in other Sci-Fi works before, but it still felt kinda muddy about how some of it worked) Also kinda weird how the Megalons just sort of vanish after they get away on the boat even though at least some of them were definitely still alive

Splint Chesthair posted:Godzilla's initial form is mostly Titanosaurus, so much so that I got confused when the show played the Godzilla trumpets on his first appearance. There's some of that monster from the second Rebirth of Mothra film too in that form as well, especially in the overall shape

Sobatchja Morda posted:Loved SP, but was slightly disappointed when the mass of moths/butterflies didn't result in Mothra appearing. I mean, you already have a sixties-era ditty summoning kaiju, so you'd think she'd be contractually obligated to come out, right? Gotta save something for a sequel after all

I still love Final Wars but the older I get the less and less I like specifically it's version of Godzilla, with how quickly and effortlessly it chumps most of the other monsters in the movie being a huge part of that as it doesn't really elevate Godzilla as a monster it just makes everyone else look worse

Desumaytah posted:Showa Ghidorah beat Zone Fighter, once. Gigan's one victory is soloing Jet Jaguar offscreen in vs Megalon, and while I love Jet Jaguar as much as the next guy, Zone Fighter he is not. Half Century War had him and Gigan murder all the other Kaiju besides Godzilla(and maybe Mothra I'd have to double check) offscreen

Also Wayforward teased that they're doing something Godzilla related on their Twitter, since they were the developers for Godzilla: Domination on the GBA(one of the hidden gems on that system) that probably means one of the following; 1) an HD Remaster/Remake of Domination, 2) a new Godzilla game in the style of Domination

For something less silly here's a neat reinterpretation of Godzilla(with his take on Jet Jaguar for scale) from an artist I follow on Twitter; https://twitter.com/Yotakuboi/status/1536715036852355074?t=eF3jy_8Y1zvpYdvNeNgKFA&s=19 He's also done takes on Mothra, Rodan, Gprosaurus, Titanosaurus, and is working on a take on Moguera right now

It's such a weird case of convergent evolution looking back at the old Fleischer Superman short "The Arctic Giant" and how closely it resembles Godzilla despite being made almost 15 years earlier, all that's missing is that the titular Arctic Giant doesn't have a breath weapon(which in retrospect is probably one of the more important things Godzilla brought to the genre)

Starting a rewatch of Singular Point and like a minute or two in just noticed a Hedorah cameo in a mural, will definitely have to keep my eyes open for any other little cameos of that nature I likely missed the first time around Also in retrospect it's pretty obvious Singular Point is basically a more serial Godzilla themed version of Ultra Q, which is only appropriate considering Ultra Q's own connections to Godzilla

Just finished a rewatch of the original Godzilla and an idle thought came into my head, where would things go if Serizawa wasn't able to use the Oxygen Destroyer on Godzilla(like say during Godzilla's second rampage through Tokyo had gone in a different direction and Serizawa and his lab had ended up getting destroyed), if it's the Showa timeline I'd imagine either Mothra gets involved earlier or maybe King Seesar gets awoken earlier to try and deal with him, if it's the GMK timeline then the same applies to the Guardian Monsters, in either case they might actually succeed since we don't really know how capable the 54 Godzilla is in a fight against other Kaiju compared to the 2nd Showa Godzilla, nor is he being magically empowered by a bunch of angry ghosts like the GMK Godzilla

And of course as the TV cartoon showed it's very easy to shift Zilla over to a more sympathetic and even heroic role by leaning into her more animalistic nature in different way than how they work for her as an antagonist Heck now I'm picturing a version of the 98 film in the Showa timeline where it's after Monster Island is established* and rather than trying to exterminate her or her offspring the crux of the plot is to capture them all while also minimizing casualties and property damage *it is fascinating that the Showa timeline officially wraps up with humanity finding a way to live peacefully with the Kaiju

Also original movie Mothra is stupid huge compared to pretty much every other Showa Toho Kaiju, bit of a shame they had to shrink her down for her Godzilla appearances

Admiral Joeslop posted:The Mortal Kombat Armageddon version of Godzilla fighting games, featuring every single character in existence to that point. Make them size accurate too, so anime Godzilla is huge and OG is a lil' baby. The better comparison would be with Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 if we're talking fighting games with absurdly huge rosters of weird obscure goobers Though honestly Unleashed got pretty close, Hedorah is basically the only notable* Showa omission(aside from maybe Gigan's Showa design) that isn't wrapped up in licensing issues(Kong, Mechani-Kong, arguably Frankenstein), as well as Battra for Heisei, and Zilla and Monster X/Kaiser Ghidorah for Millennium *like yeah it would be nice to have Manda, Ebirah, Kumonga, Kamacuras, the Gargantuas, and maybe even the Yog trio but with Toho's silly "each monster is their own separate paid license" policy that's reaching into the point of diminishing returns(and that's not even going into the real bottom tier guys like Giant Condor, Giant Octopus, Maguma, or Gabara)

Watched Godzilla vs Gigan last night on Pluto TV, first time I've seen that one in full in probably at least a decade and first time I've watched it in full in Japanese, and man Godzilla and Anguirus just get the piss beaten out of them for most of the movie till they manage to turn things around at the end

Finally saw Minus One last night and yeah it's as good as everyone has been saying funny to think that what's probably the most vicious version of Godzilla we've ever gotten is also probably the smallest one, also I think this is the first time we've gotten a Godzilla with a proper atomic breath that never really fired it in the more traditional beam style, he's always just firing single shots, lastly this is probably the most gruesome death any version of Godzilla has ever had at least in terms of onscreen detail

I mean pre-nuke Godzilla is only marginally implausible so him being something that evolved naturally isn't that hard to believe, it's only after he gets nuked that he exhibits outright impossible physiology Also could we please get a new thread name cause this one has been here for ages and it is loving terrible

Gripweed posted:Raids Again has an interesting idea I'd really like to see a new movie revisit; a monster fight where you aren't rooting for either monster. Where the fight is just a disaster and you don't want one to win you just want it to end. Isn't that basically just most of the Heisei and Millennium era films though?
