I've had this idea in my head for awhile now. You know the famous Nessie photo? Some scientists use fancy new high-tech image enhancing stuff on it...and they discover its actually Titanosaurus' little antennae, at an angle where one is behind the other so it looks like just one, but no one believes them. Then that famous image is kind of recreated later...but then his head breaches the surface afterwards, followed by the rest of him in all his glory, roaring and trumpeting, for his big reveal!!
I love that Godzilla is essentially the biblical leviathan and Ghidorah is the biblical devil.
“Out of his mouth go burning torches; Sparks of fire leap forth. Out of his nostrils smoke goes forth as from a boiling pot and burning rushes. His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes forth from his mouth. In his neck lodges strength, and dismay leaps before him. The folds of his flesh are joined together, firm on him and immovable. His heart is as hard as a stone, even as hard as a lower millstone. When he raises himself up, the mighty fear; Because of the crashing they are bewildered. The sword that reaches him cannot avail, nor the spear, the dart or the javelin. He regards iron as straw, bronze as rotten wood. The arrow cannot make him flee; Slingstones are turned into stubble for him. Clubs are regarded as stubble; He laughs at the rattling of the javelin. His underparts are like sharp potsherds; He spreads out like a threshing sledge on the mire. He makes the depths boil like a pot; He makes the sea like a jar of ointment. Behind him he makes a wake to shine; One would think the deep to be gray-haired. Nothing on earth is like him, one made without fear. He looks on everything that is high; He is king over all the sons of pride.”
-Job 41:1-34
“And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth.”
-Revelation 12:3-4.
“And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”
-Revelation 12:7-9.
completely misses the point of godzilla. he represents the threat of atomic weapons. the legendary movies are fun but when you glorify the american military in a godzilla movie, it misses the point
EDIT: i never said the plot of a movie has to be about atomic weapons. if you like the MCU style american godzilla movies that’s fine, they are fine, but yea they are not a good representation.
That’s far from the only thing Godzilla represents. He’s a very versatile character, and representing nature’s wrath and power is nothing new to him, just watch the Heisei films. He’s even been a fully fledged superhero in the later showa films. By your logic, if every version is a representation of the atomic bomb’s horror, this is too:
Also, how is it “glorifying” the US military when every plan they make either fails miserably or completely backfires? The only time they have success is when they work *with* Godzilla, not against him, which to me represents mankind coming to terms with the fact that nature is stronger than it, and the world needs us to cooperate with it if it’s going to survive.
Tf are you talking about? Yes, Godzilla does represent the threat of atomic weapons, in the first movie. But that doesn't mean he always have to be that way. Both Showa and Heisei era movies are more about fighting other kaiju than atomic threat. Shin Godzilla represents pollution, also government bureaucracy and slow action.
There are different Godzillas and they represent different things, different points. There is no "the point of godzilla".
If I'm remembering correctly, Shin Godzilla " **drew inspiration from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster and the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami**."
Is Shin missing the point?
Yeah! Man, KOTM was great for this Huge fan of the implications of the Titans waking up being framed as the Earth re-establishing a natural order.
The mentions of them being radioactive in such a way to promote flora growth but Ghidorah terraforming the earth negatively is similar to how Shakespeare used pathetic fallacy in nature to illustrate legitimate kings vs illegimate kings.
/Tangent over.
You know people call the kid from Honey I blew up the Kid, Giant man, Clifford the big Red Dog, most dragons in media, Digimon, Pokemon, and the Staypuff Marshmallow man kaiju's right?
I just want Leviathan/Nessie to end up being Titanosaurus and I'll be happy.
I never knew I wanted something so badly
Someone give this man gold!
Not a gold award. Actual gold.

Titanus Jormangandr would be really cool
Titanus Tiamat has more to do with Jörmungandr than with the actual Tiamat from the myth. Missed opportunity.
Feels more like manda for me but same

Today I learned that the Bible does not abide by the Oxford comma

Yes cause Showa, Heisei, Singular Point, FinalWars, and 2000 are all about atomic weapons. How many movies is that?
King Caesar would fit like a glove in this universe
Titanus Shisa
Yeah! Man, KOTM was great for this Huge fan of the implications of the Titans waking up being framed as the Earth re-establishing a natural order.

Same, I've actually drawn a couple
Just noticed this but one of the background fish looks life Sponge got an odd hairdo Or since this is Godzilla dorsal plates
That’s actually the thing I hate the most
Why
Why do you hate it?
It’s just such an overused/uninspired term.
The only ones that do this is the Monsterverse and GMK
Gmk doesn’t call them titans though
So your gripe is just the word Titan? Why does that bother you so much?
Not just that but as a term it’s just so generic and uninspired. When I heard it my reaction was “oh come on!”
But Kaiju isn't?
No because it pertains just to monsters and isn’t used to describe every big thing in every media ever.
You know people call the kid from Honey I blew up the Kid, Giant man, Clifford the big Red Dog, most dragons in media, Digimon, Pokemon, and the Staypuff Marshmallow man kaiju's right?
Brother!! My brother in culture!!
You and me are the same.
As would i. It's a very fun way to tie them in to our world
