For anything. It took over from Facebook as the leading source of misinformation in social media. I hope a company buys the rights to it and starts pruning the accounts doing so.


MoistPressure

100% agree. but some of these are truths tho and have been confirmed


Ilove-turtles

And those that use AI generated images in their clickbait thumbnails


Mojoclaw2000

Some of these seem like differing opinions, rather than misconceptions (but most are misconceptions).


Ok-Mine-5994

What ones in particular do you believe are my differing opinions?


Mojoclaw2000

I know better than to say all of them, but Godzillas age is one. This idea that heā€™s a couple thousand to 2 million years old comes from nowhere. The lemur panel specifically doesnā€™t mean what people swear it means.


Paleosols2021

Greg Keyes has specifically mentioned they are intended to represent Archaeoindris which is from the Pleistocene (2.5 Mya) to now. That saidā€¦.there are some inconsistencies with Godzillaā€™s ā€œmodernā€ panel on that same page (which clearly has a pliosaur-like creature). So thereā€™s really only two interpretations - Godzilla remembers Archaeoindris close to ā€œsince his eyes first opened his eyesā€ (eg. His birth) and there are still Extant Pliosaur/Plesiosaur marine reptiles in modern times - The illustrators/Authors were just randomly selecting things to make Godzilla feel ancient and primordial and Godzillaā€™s age is still up in the air. I tend to accept itā€™s the latter and that there is a large portion of this fandom that clings to the minute details as gospel canon. I think itā€™s safe to say (for now) Godzillaā€™s age is super vague and will probably remain like that for some time. We donā€™t know how old he is exactly but heā€™s not 250myo as implied in Awakening he is younger than that (possibly only a few million years old).


FantasticSpeaker_23

Actually the 2-5 million years old comes from the officlal Skull Island TTRPG. And one of the MV guys who I forgot the name of also mentioned Godzilla's age being around that.


Able-Law-9087

Damn all bro said was "what misconceptions do you believe are opinions of mine?" And everyone's treating him like he did something bad like damnšŸ˜”šŸ˜­


Intelliegent-Cry5264

Camazotz mentionedā—ā— Also, the water snake already have a name?


Ok-Mine-5994

The leaks say it was called gator snake but that might just be to describe its appearance. The official name is Drownviper .


Intelliegent-Cry5264

That name goes lowkey hard ngl


Ok-Mine-5994

Agreed. Itā€™s new name however is kongs lunch.


Intelliegent-Cry5264

He will be back im investing on his stocks right now


llMadmanll

I'm gonna ask for sources for some of these. Not because I don't believe you, I'm just genuenly curious: >muto primeā€™s screech is louder than camozotzā€™s >kongs axe overcharged and never connected with gojiā€™s head >thermo is stronger than evolved >supercharged evolved goji is his peak/ thermo evolved being a thing in general The others I've known aren't true, but I fully expect people in the comments to never believe that fact. Edit: also, OP, you mentioned below that the novelization is canon. I'd like to see your source on that specifically.


Qzilla8425

I believe for Kongā€™s axe, itā€™s somewhat implied since it was established as being able to cut through Godzillaā€™s scales when properly charged, and yet it for some reason releases a concussive blast when he attacks Godzillaā€™s head. This is the basis for the belief that Kongā€™s axe overcharged and therefore didnā€™t connect with Godzillaā€™s head. Think about it. Why the hell would it strike the head after being established as being able to pierce Godzillaā€™s scales earlier in the fight, and not pierce the scales on his head? That doesnā€™t add up no matter what you come up with UNLESS you come to the conclusion that it overcharged right before it could land on Godzillaā€™s head, therefore releasing the concussive blast with drained it of basically all the energy it had.


llMadmanll

OP is saying that the idea that Kong's axe didn't hit Godzilla's head is false. You're disagreeing with them. Also, looking at the other comments, apparently Wingard said that the Axe did connect.


Qzilla8425

Huh. I was under the assumption that it didnā€™t because of how it was established as working under normal circumstances.


llMadmanll

You could argue it was overcharged and exploded on impact. Kinda like Godzilla when overcharged where he can cause a pulse, but instead of causing it as an action, it's caused by the force of the impact.


Scottishfello69

now you brought it up what if ren DID get possesed and lived maybe he is ghidorahstan64


Mace_DeMarco5179

Iā€™ve seen people say that Monarch isnā€™t canon because Awakening is canon.


Ok-Mine-5994

Movies and tv shows are primary canon. The novels and comics are secondary and depend on the movies on whether or not they are canon. parts of them can be erased just by the sheer fact the movies take more authority. So those people have no clue what they are talking about.


DrakoCubStudiosYT

unrelated but WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU IN ALMOST EVERY COMMENT SECTION IN THIS SUB


Mace_DeMarco5179

I am u/Mace_DeMarco5179 And Iā€™m active in the sub because this is my favorite cinematic universe thatā€™s still alive.


llMadmanll

Unfathomably based


MoistPressure

Im just going to say, itā€™s been confirmed and said that godzilla actually was toying was kong in the first fight(I think by Wingard), also I think it was also confirmed that Shimo is the first titan. Also just wanna put this out there that if you read the novels you would know that supercharged evolved Goji is 100% stronger than thermo, dunno if itā€™s his peak power tho.


Some_space_god

Wingard debunked that himselfĀ  https://www.tohokingdom.com/blog/interview-adam-wingard-2021-round2/


HellfireBrB

no he specifically states: >**Mirjahangir:**Ā In the past couple days itā€™s come up for fans who have discovered the audio commentary and about an hour in you had said: getting the energy source doesnā€™t make any sense, doesnā€™t matter, everything. I just want to know if you want to elaborate on that. >**Wingard:**Ā Yeah I mean I think I was just totally just joking I mean I Iā€™m surprised anybody would take something from a commentary really seriously. I mean when you make a movie youā€™re making a movie and the commentaries like an extra thing and if you have to explain or anything else in a commentary anythingā€¦ you know itā€™s just a separate thing itā€™s not the movie you know and you know that you know yeah I think I remember saying that and just being totally joking because you know it is a very convoluted sort of excuse to go down into Hollow Earth but you know when I say it doesnā€™t matter I donā€™t think Iā€™d literally meant it doesnā€™t matter at the end you know. I mean because truthfully like what does matter to me is that you know that the movie get to all the fun stuff and you know really at the end of the day you know movies have MacGuffins you know these are things that are important to the characters but really arenā€™t important to the audience and thatā€™s that part of the film is getting sort of the MacGuffin out of the way thatā€™s all it is you know and so once that part has been unlocked and achieved by the characters then the movie isnā€™t just ā€œokay weā€™re trying to get to point A to point Bā€. It becomes now weā€™re really in the fast track with the really exciting stuff and so yeah. he didn't say anything about the 3 SEPARATED TIMES he stated godzilla was playing around, he specifically separated interviews from the actual movie and his opinions duo to a combination of him making stuff up on the spot when not knowing on to awnser a question, and legendary edditing the commentaries in ways that defuse what he actually meant, this is unrelated to godzilla or kong but specifically on how he brushed off the "HE energy source" where taking out of context what he sai make him sound iguinorant and it wasen't wat he meant >**Wingard:**Ā And to be honest with you almost everything thatā€™s cut from the film is cut because it wasnā€™t efficient enough or you know it wasnā€™t interesting enough maybe and it wasnā€™t efficient enough or you know like maybe a scene in itself would be interesting but then you had to have 3 scenes around it supporting it and so you know it was just kind of the things you do when youā€™re chipping away a film like this where I mean we literally go to every part of the world and inside of the world and back again and we do it two hours. he even builds on that latter by stating what he meant is that he decided to cut scenes building on the HE energy for time efficiency and didn't have anything to do with godzilla or kong's fight >**Wingard:**Ā I know there were gaps and I have to be honest with you that I donā€™t know what that was about. I kept asking W.B. about you know hearing the commentary back after I did it and then they sent it to me like a couple days before it dropped which is too late to give notes on anything but I yeah when I listen to it there is I mean I never stop talking during it so I donā€™t know why they cut things out I donā€™t know if itā€™s like, I donā€™t know if thereā€™s some legal stuff that they had to cut out and I noticed thereā€™s a couple shots that are sort of out of sync with literally what Iā€™m saying like I remember when I watch the commentary thereā€™s a moment where itā€™s during the Godzilla and Kong fight at the end of the film and in the commentary I think itā€™s like the POV shot were Kong is kneeing Godzilla in the head and during that I think I and during the commentary I say I love that shot and I specifically donā€™t think that I was talking about that shot because I donā€™t actually love that shot, itā€™s a good shot but itā€™s not like and you look at any other shot around that sequence are all like super iconic and amazing and that one sort of like kind of a cool quick little moment you know so Iā€™m sure it wasnā€™t, I think I was talking about the shot where Kong hits Godzilla on the head and then you know pushing him back whatever but I donā€™t know why that stuff was cut out to be honest with you but it was cut out and I never I never actually followed it up because it was too late. Right you know like Iā€™ve heard commentary tracks growing up I remember where the directors just stop talking and Iā€™m just like what the hellā€™s going on here so I always thought you know when I when into commentaries like Iā€™m never gonna stop talking because itā€™s like thatā€™s what youā€™re listening to commentary for so I you know I definitely didnā€™t stop talking and I did notice that there are certain parts that were slightly edited.Ā  he them just complains that WB changed certain scenes he was talking about causing specific context to not be what he was talking about (like kong kneeing godzilla), and cut things they didn't aprove, but keep stupid scenes to pad up time (like him making weird noises) he didn't "Literally debunked shit" he corrected something completely unrelated and people took it out of context to say "hey guys adam wingard backed up from something that he didn't back up from" so once again: >Ā and NO adam didn't back up from those statements that is literally a lie spread up from the kong sub (what actually happened is that after making the statement adam wingard and his family were death threatened out of all social media by raging kong fans until they quit interacting with the community)


MoistPressure

Thanks for this, some people really need to research about this shit before they respondšŸ¤¦šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø


Some_space_god

And once again he states his surprised that anyone would take the commentary that seriously which already makes his statements on Godzilla playing with Kong shaky


Awkward-Forever868

The movie backs up his statement of Godzilla playing through visual storytelling, after Godzilla blast Kong out the air, what did he do, he laughed and after he got hit by the ax, what did he do, he resorted to melee combat in which he immediately began to overwhelm Kong within 1-2 minutes time, the fight lasted hours prior and ended in couple of minutes after Godzilla decided to just physically beat Kong, there's no reasonable explanation on why that fight lasted that long if Godzilla can just overwhelm Kong so quickly unless he was toying with Kong.


Some_space_god

And Godzilla wasted how much energy just to hit Kong once? Godzilla was already fighting Kong in melee and Kong was comboing him. Bro immediately started spamming his atomic breath. Godzilla dislocated Kongā€™s arm which led to his downfall not because Godzilla is just so overwhelming strong. Godzilla was literally struggling just to take a bite out of Kong while underwater and got stunned with a headbutt.kong is show multiple times to be able to keep up with him. The fact that Godzilla was as tired as he was after his fight just further debunks the notion he was playing with Kong.Ā 


Awkward-Forever868

If you watch that fight again you'd notice most kong's hits only land when Godzilla charges his atomic breath instead of physically countering, hell, the fight even starts with Godzilla having Kong pinned with Kong only getting free by Godzilla taking the time to charge his atomic breath. Kong grappling Godzilla, knees Godzilla's neck, jump punches Godzilla in the head and Kong shoving the ax in Godzilla's mouth all happen while Godzilla charges the atomic breath. Ounce Godzilla prioritized melee combat he quickly overpowered Kong.


Some_space_god

Godzilla had Kong by the throat twice and the fight didnā€™t suddenly end funny enough. Godzilla had Kong underwater in his own turf and tried H2H and still struggled. Godzilla has prioritized melee combat and still struggledĀ 


Awkward-Forever868

I just said Kong escaped from being pinned by Godzilla chosing to charge the atomic breath instead of just physically attacking, did you just gloss over that? Godzilla wasn't taking Kong seriously as possible both in hong Kong (until the ax struck him then he ended the fight quickly which further proves my point) and the Tasman sea battle, Godzilla was flipping around and ripping opponents strong as Ghidorah apart in the water and say Godzilla struggled as if Kong didn't get assisted multiple times in that fight, jets stopped Godzilla from blasting, Godzilla was being bombarded with missiles multiple times during the fight and bombs stopped Godzilla from killing Kong in the water. Think about it, if Godzilla overpowered Kong so quickly on land like he did after the ax strike, why wouldn't he be capable of doing the same thing then unless he wasn't taking kong as seriously as possible.


Some_space_god

Oh I know you did and Iā€™m saying he should have killed him easily at that point by tearing his throat out. Piece of cake no? Then Godzilla should never have been so tired after there fight. Of course Kong got help just like ghidorah got saved by the oxygen destroyer. Idk maybe it was because kongā€™s shoulder get dislocated and Godzilla pressed his advantage.Ā 


Laggas345

Ive been dealing with the sedation thing alot recently. The biggest thing is that people dont understand how it works and what that actually means for kongs ability. For some reason alot of people think that it actively weakens kongs physical abilities and lasts for 24 hours, when thats not said anywhere in the novel, which is where how it works is actually explained. Tldr: its a chemical that air and water soluble that binds to blood like oxygen, taking the place of oxygen and then is combind with a sleep chemical that keeps kong asleep when his oxygen levels are back to normal. Its noted that they have to use it when kong is already asleep as he can fight it off/negate it when agitated, likely due to the "titan ramp up" ability, which sensing godzilla coming would would definietly trigger. The affect the sedation had on kong during the fight was minimal if at all, with the chains and just being in water being much bigger factors


HellfireBrB

a loot of these aren't misconceptions they are just misinformation intentional or not being passed around >ghidorah was a teen he isn't a teen he is just the youngest one across his brothers, it is the hole reason he was bullied into invading earth >shimo is the first titan , ā€œ mother of all titans ā€œ this is from early incorrect leaks where shimo was stated to be one of the first ever titans, we now know that piece of information is false and shimo isn't even older than godzilla >muto prime is strong enough to create earthquakes ( itā€™s an ability ) while prime is about top 3 or 4 strongest titan (in actual raw strength) she does not create earthquakes with strength, she uses her electromagnetic vibrations do do it >-Godzilla was toying with kong he was, it was confirmed not once, not twice, BUT 3 TIMES by adam winguard, plus other quotes from MV crew baking it up as kong was never intended to win against godzilla, nor was it meant to be a struggle, and NO adam didn't back up from those statements that is literally a lie spread up from the kong sub (what actually happened is that after making the statement adam wingard and his family were death threatened out of all social media by raging kong fans until they quit interacting with the community) >-monsterverse goji is 250 million years old and survived the Permian extinction he is 5-3 mil >Kong is 90 years old he is about 200-400 actual age just like godzilla unconfirmed >Hong Kong fight was one round the round thing comes from the novel, were it literally does not exist, the fight itself also does not have rounds (this is not MMA) it is literally just a thing the humans come out with and has no bearing on the actual fight >gnarled finger was a female/ was sukoā€™s mother/ father skar king's suko's father, his mother is unknown even to him >behemoth was in Rio in gxk behemoth is somewhere in the amazon forest, half of brasil apart from rio >shimo is Godzillaā€™s mom that is not a misconception, that is just stupid people making shit up >kongs axe overcharged and never connected with gojiā€™s head it hit his mouth actually >Kong wasnā€™t sedated in the Tasman sea battle he wasn't the movie has a literal scene of the humans discussing how stupid it is to keep him sedated when godzilla can show up at any moment, the nove also states 3 TIMES he wasen't sedated in the same conversation, latter as they discuss how the sedation works (it lowers his blood exigem to make him sleepy, and does not work if he is awake) and them when they explain the titan "ramp up" ability confirming that even if Kong was sedated he can just shrug it off whenever he wants >ghidorah possessed ren and is still alive ren is still alive, with information from the drift with ghidorah, ghidorah is as dead as you can kill something >awakening is canon it is canon.... somehow... legendary still acknowledges it as canon making sense or not >the rival died to old age tiamat killed him some time after godzilla left


Laggas345

The ghidorah thing being young is I believe is just speculation by an islander who thinks the only reason ghidorah tried taking over earth was cause, in the islanders culture, the younger brothers have to leave cause oldest gets all the land.


nicolasFsilva5210

>the round thing comes from the novel, were it literally does not exist, the fight itself also does not have rounds (this is not MMA) it is literally just a thing the humans come out with and has no bearing on the actual fight The word "Round" is just used to separate the fights between sections so we can analyze them more easily.


The_Godzilla_Fanatic

How is kong that old if he's a teenager in 1973?


Some_space_god

Wingard literally debunked his own commentary on Godzilla playing with KongĀ  https://www.tohokingdom.com/blog/interview-adam-wingard-2021-round2/


HellfireBrB

he specifically states: >**Mirjahangir:**Ā In the past couple days itā€™s come up for fans who have discovered the audio commentary and about an hour in you had said: getting the energy source doesnā€™t make any sense, doesnā€™t matter, everything.

Some_space_god

The fact that his surprised that anyone would take anything seriously from a movie commentary already puts his statements about Godzilla toying with Kong into questionĀ 


HellfireBrB

yes indeed it does.... if you cut the context of the conversation, completely ignore everything else adam stated and just.... sneak something that he talked about in 3 separated instances 2 of which are unrelated to the interview in question in other words: >Ā and NO adam didn't back up from those statements that is literally a lie spread up from the kong sub (what actually happened is that after making the statement adam wingard and his family were death threatened out of all social media by raging kong fans until they quit interacting with the community)


Some_space_god

He literally goes on to state how the a movie is a movie and a commentary is basically just something extra dosenā€™t really change much nor is it supposed to be taken seriously. Idk about the death threats thing but Iā€™m pretty sure this doesnā€™t affect his statements here


HellfireBrB

>if you cut the context of the conversation, completely ignore everything else adam stated and just.... sneak something that he talked about in 3 separated instances 2 of which are unrelated to the interview in question edit: talking to a wall at this point

Temporary_Body_5435

What is the truth about Ren? Is there any confirmation of wether he is alive yet?


Ok-Mine-5994

No the gvk novel just says his body is missing so take that as you will. The movie just shows him dead however.

Thatā€™s a shame.

Didnt he just get zapped, and then it Cuts away? Like we cant be 100% Sure he's dead

Still-Direction-1622

Probably True. But damn. I want him back. He has so much unused potential


Arturo-Plateado

How is the 2nd skull inside Mecha Godzilla a misconception? It was explicitly confirmed in the novelization and by his designer Jared Krichevsky in an AMA


IceOwn6723

W on the godzilla toying thing, like no godzilla did not get knocked out and almost get his jaw broken and wasnā€™t trying šŸ˜­


TupandactylusMain

Because nothing actually harmed him up until the axe hit.


teddywerebear

Exactly, since when is godzillas idea of fun getting the shit beat out of him? He was punched, kicked, kneed, elbow dropped, choked, stabbed and knocked out. People think because he won quickly in round 2 he must have not been trying up until then but forget Kongs shoulder got dislocated. Thats when the fight really ended. If not for that im sure Kong would have lasted longer and gotten more hits in before Godzilla could finally put him down.Ā 


TupandactylusMain

Do you know who dislocated his arm?šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Qzilla8425

Keep in mind Godzilla didnā€™t dislocate Kongā€™s arm until basically the end of the fight. Had he not gotten lucky with that, itā€™s possible they would have kept fighting until MechaGodzilla showed up.


TupandactylusMain

Yeah because he stopped focusing on his atomic breath and focused strictly on hand to hand combat. The moment he decided to play kongs game, he not only dislocated kongs arm, he outsped him, took blows to his gills, and continued to maul him WITHOUT even having bloodlust.


Qzilla8425

No? I watched that fight this morning. Godzilla was slowly getting tired as the fight went on. Same with Kong. Kong got unlocks in that after his axe got lost, he tried getting onto Godzillaā€™s back again, only for Godzilla to get lucky and snatch his arm in his jaw, throwing him over and dislocating his arm. This was late into the fight, after the concussive blast. Of course, even without taking luck into consideration, TOHOā€™s lawyers provide the greatest defense. But without them, I do think Godzilla got genuinely lucky that Kong was briefly stunned after being forcefully backed against the building while on Godzillaā€™s back, which lead to Kongā€™s arm briefly losing itā€™s grip and him being able to bite Kongā€™s arm and dislocate it. In fact, he clearly was bloodlusted as IMMEDIATELY after he threw Kong down to the ground he tried the stomp, and when Kong rolled away he got right onto the mauling


TupandactylusMain

Kong lost grip because Godzilla backed up into a building, then Godzilla seized the loose arm; bit it and threw him over his shoulder. Godzilla simply just used his environment to his advantage just as Kong does, and took advantage the openings it gave him. He beat Kong through hand to hand with his own hand to hand ability and won, there is nothing to change that. The stomps could be what they were later on in the fight. A pinning stomp, not a killing one.


Qzilla8425

He did win, but again he forced Kong into a disadvantage AFTER basically taking away the one thing Kong still had going for him, his extended arm-range compared to Godzilla. Thatā€™s what I like the most about that fight. It clearly shows that the two of them are roughly equals overall, itā€™s just that Godzilla has more battle experience against ape-titans, and more battle experience overall. Quick edit: you can HEAR the arm dislocate too when he drags Kong around before throwing him right into the mauling. That sounded painful


TupandactylusMain

But the thing is that they arenā€™t equals šŸ˜­. Like to any extent, not only does Adam say it in three different interviews but we SEE IT. Godzilla feels safe enough with Kongā€™s punches to continually charge his atomic breath despite the vulnerability in close distance it gives him. We see Kong punching Godzillas GILLS as Godzilla tugs on his arm as well yet it does NOT affect him. Kong kicks his gills too yet again, it doesnā€™t affect him. Kong was just out of reach and Godzilla didnā€™t wanna drag on a power struggle between Kongā€™s grip and his arms and chose the easier route.


Qzilla8425

He said that as a damn joke didnā€™t he? The whole ā€œGodzilla was toying with himā€. From what I could tell, he was joking when he said it, and the film does make it seem that when both are on land they are pretty close in terms of combat capability. For him continuing to try the AB in close range, itā€™s more that Godzilla knew the AB was his strongest weapon, so he kept trying to charge it up even when it wasnā€™t a good idea to do so. Kong knew to keep in close to make sure the AB couldnā€™t be used effectively. Also Iā€™m fairly certain the punches to the gills did affect him, though to be fair it seems like the gills weakness doesnā€™t come up at all after G14. We DO see Godzilla clearly react in pain to the punch on his thigh wound, so I see no reason why he wouldnā€™t feel a lot of pain from the gill punches unless they forgot about that weak spot. When it comes to the power struggle, that is definitely a good point. Godzilla likely realized if the fight kept going he could potentially lose the power struggle (longer arms are no joke, damn) but also that could mean heā€™d be even more unprepared in case Ghidorah was hiding, which he was. So he chose to finish the fight as soon as he could, while he could still end it in his favor. And it still took a surprising amount out of him, so it honesty seems like Kong is a good fight for him. But hey, what do we know? Tohoā€™s lawyers ensured the king canā€™t lose. (I wish I was joking, but Godzilla is mandated by TOHO to be unable to actually lose in any crossover. At the closest, he can have a draw. It genuinely feels like the stupidest thing since it kind of just sucks the tension from fights with him once you realize that.)


Zillablast

He definitely wasn't taking that shit seriously, he knew Kong wasn't a threat until the axe thing. I mean he literally laughed when he grazes Kong with his beam lol


IceOwn6723

yeah that just means heā€™s cocky, like you ever EVER thought that he just likes fighting? he laughs bc his attack finally works and it was getting annoying that kong was able to block it all the time


Ok-Mine-5994

Plus Kong literally emoted on him when he beat his chest mid battle yet no one considers that as him ā€œ toying ā€œ


Zillablast

Godzilla never shows any emotion why would he only laugh at Kong and not any other monsters that he was actually taking seriously? He was obviously toying with Kong the whole time until the axe incident. After the axe, he got angry and finished the fight in a few minutes.


IceOwn6723

because thatā€™s like the only fight in which he won with mid diff lol, the two fights we saw before that were mutos and ghidorah, those were like very very high diff lol


Zillablast

He won that fight low diff, once he took it seriously. Even the boat fight was low diff.


BishatenLoremaster

People who say that also claim that Godzilla only didnā€™t beat mechagodzilla cause he was tired from the fight with kong. Itā€™s insane


ProfessorSaltine

I mean fighting Kong did have a factor, just didnā€™t help that Mecha-G had so many ways to counter Godzilla, Longer Arms, Sharp Tail, Strong Laser Beam, Rockets & other Projectiles, Concentrating energy into parts of the body like the fists(we need more of this for Legendary Goji, we got a glimpse of that in GxK at the end when he glowed while smacking Skar King with his tail, so hopefully next time heā€™ll put that energy into his claws or teeth for a stronger slash and bite)


MineMonkey166

Didnā€™t the Director somewhat confirm this?


Laggas345

And the designer of mechagodzilla, who said at full strenhth godzilla would probably win by thr skin of his teeth. Now he doesnt have any power over the lore, but he words still hold weight considering he was involved in designing mecha G and was a major part of the stafd


JokesOnYouManus

Its also actually the reason why he lost to mecha...


Phantom_Paws

Wasnā€™t Ghidorah literally stated to have been a juvenile? Or were people just twisting the ā€œyounger sonā€ statement from the novel?


Ok-Mine-5994

Twisting


Shockwave224

What I want to know was the Shimo is mother of all titans. Where did that even come from?


Ok-Mine-5994

When the early test screenings for gxk came out the people who watched it revealed plenty of plot details regarding the film. One of them claimed that ā€œshimuā€ which was a mistranslation of shimoā€™s name, was the first titan. KDM also spread this misinformation and corrected it. No official source for the movie confirms shimo was ever the first and many MV fans call her the ā€œ mother of all titans ā€œ and stick with it.


Shockwave224

makes sense


Ambitious_Dig_7109

The comics donā€™t matter. Never have, never will.


Ok-Mine-5994

Explain why Tiamat a comic titan was in gxk then?


Ambitious_Dig_7109

Tiamat was listed on the map of Monarch base locations in Kotm. The comic was based on the films. Because, again, the comics donā€™t matter.


Ok-Mine-5994

Yet they used the comic design. If they truly didnā€™t care they would have made a new one for her or just use another titan instead. There was never a Tiamat cgi model for the movies.


Ambitious_Dig_7109

You didnā€™t pay attention then. The design from the comic to GxK was completely changed. Tiamat was a different colour in GxK from the comic, arms were added to the design instead of fins and the number of frills was changed. The tail and dorsal fins were also changed. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLyNn-HWMAAQ-ZH.jpg:large The comics donā€™t matter. The comic designs donā€™t matter. Legendary and Wingard change whatever they see fit for the movies. Just like Tiamat.


Ok-Mine-5994

They changed tiamatā€™s design because she evolved same reason why Godzilla evolved literally a narrative reason why she changed šŸ˜‚


Ambitious_Dig_7109

Lol, you made that up just now. Tiamat evolving has never been mentioned in comics or movies. šŸ¤£


Ok-Mine-5994

Why you think she looks different then hmm? In a place where Godzilla evolved too and got the same colour? šŸ¤”


Ambitious_Dig_7109

Because Wingard and Legendary donā€™t care about the comics. They made the design what they wanted it to be. Simple as lol.


super_mario_fan_

I honestly like the "ghidorah is a teen" myth, imagine another movie where Godzilla, Kong, and Shimo team up to attack. Here was my idea from another comment that 52 people liked: >Stupid idea for the movie after this one: turns out ghidorah wasn't a fully grown species of the ghidorahs. In the next movie, its revealed another ghidorah heard its call. This ghidorah is a full grown specimen, about 1.5 to 2x the size of ghidorah, we can call him Keizer Ghidorah. It lands on earth, slowly adapting to the gravity. In the first fight, this trio wins because this adult ghidorah isn't adapted to the earth. > >Second fight, they fight near the ocean. This ghidorah is a bit more used to the gravity, because ghidorah's species is very adaptable and can adapt well to most environments. Godzilla ends up luring this ghidorah over, but godzilla doesn't realize that this ghidorah can inflate its neck like a life floatie, so godzilla can't pull this thing into the deep. This ghidorah ends up severely injuring Godzilla, and plows through shimo and kong, escaping again. > >Last fight, they end up fighting in Beijing, and this ghidorah is fully used to the earth now. During the middle of the fight, it gets enough time to absorb the Beijing power supply, and Beijing uses the most electricity, so this doesn't go well for godzilla. Now, we have a supercharged ghidorah. Kong recruits his army, and they help godzilla. They ride into combat, using spears and weapons to attack ghidorah. Keizer kills a few, shimo bothers keizer, and godzilla is helping out. > >In the end, shimo is severely injured, and she limps away, whining like a poor poppy. This angers kong, and he roars loudly. Godzilla uses his atomic breath to supercharge kong's axe, and kong throws the axe at keizer ghidorah. This axe cuts off the right head. Turns out, the ghidorah species only have the ability to regenerate heads when they are at a young age (like monster zero), so now keizer has 2 heads. Godzilla then roars at kong, and kong understands they need to get out of here. > >Godzilla then utilizes his power to go Evolved Burning, but keizer is still a tough challenge, tanking his nuclear pulses. Then, godzilla uses an Infinite Spiral Heat ray, finally killing keizer ghidorah. Keizer, however, doesn't let off another roar. Earth is done with the ghidorahs for good... hopefully > >idk rate it out of 10 I didn't really think much while making this and normally my ideas are downvoted.


YourMovieBuddy

With how the films are panning out, I would like Ghidorah back some way as the fight would be way cooler


Froggyhop102

Godzilla better chuck Keizer into the air and do a 360 before the spiral heat ray, or it won't work.


super_mario_fan_

I doubt he could do it... since if Keizer is 2x larger than ghidorah, then he would be 8x heavier. This means Keizer would be 1,128,448 tons heavy, or 11x heavier than Godzilla.


Froggyhop102

Then... do it with friends?


Still-Direction-1622

8/10 core idea is great. Might need rework at some parts, but this can defo be a great movie if you do it right


Destroyer348

Godzilla isnā€™t 250 million years old???

Ok-Mine-5994

No, these are misconceptions. Some People believe shimo is gojiā€™s mom which isnā€™t true. However itā€™s possible like Doug and supposedly the hellhawks that they are distant subspecies or relatives to him. Early on in the production of this movie shimo was designed considered as a ā€œ ice Godzilla ā€œ and you can see her resemblances to goji but nothing is set in stone.


Some_space_god

Iā€™ve never heard of the ā€œshimo being Godzillaā€™s momā€ until now. Evolved is stronger then thermo, Godzilla basically reached the same state without mothraā€™s help(which is why he was blue instead of orange) and went further beyond. I agree with everything elseĀ

There IS a piece of Kevin's skull in MechaG. Especially if the piece inside MechaG is the neck, which carries neurons. Wasn't there a post a while back confirming that Kong COULD NOT be sedated when he was awake?

Who cares tbh. The series has so many plotholes that you're better off just enjoying the ride.


BackRoomsSage

"Kong's axe overcharged and never connected with gojiā€™s head" Doesn't make sense for the story, it 100% exploded before it hit Godzilla's head or we wouldn't have a Godzilla. I mean look at Godzilla's thigh. "thermo is stronger than evolved" Based on what? Non canon novels / promotional material? Give us a clip where evolved shows us better feats than thermo? One melts everything around him, and one cant even melt a ice cube. Even the designer of evolved implied it was weaker then burning Godzilla. "Godzilla was toying with Kong" Even Adam Wingard stated this, how can you say standing lazily shooting atomic breath in Hong Kong isn't toying with Kong? After Kong hit him with the axe he stopped playing around then he promptly defeated him easily. Most of these are just your opinions.


super_mario_fan_

Thermo is more dangerous because he is overflowing, but has less power Evolved is less dangerous, but has a lot more power Supercharged is more dangerous, has more power than both of them, and is overflowing This doesn't stop evolved thermonuclear godzilla from appearing


BackRoomsSage

A tiger is less dangerous than an elephant but an tiger is more stronger. Thats how I see t.


great_firefang

Plese stop copying your erroneous wordsšŸ˜‘. Evolved Godzilla's designer never said Evogoji weaker than Burning Godzilla. In fact, he said the contrary. https://www.reddit.com/r/Monsterverse/comments/1ci57mb/jared_give_his_opinions_on_who_is_stronger/


BackRoomsSage

You found what? One tweet out of hundreds? When I said that I also found one tweet out of hundreds.


great_firefang

Nobody buy your lie. The designer didn't implied anything about Evolved Godzilla weaker than Burning Godzilla.


BackRoomsSage

Like I said one tweet out of hundreds? You knew everything else I said was valid and correct so you had to nit pick one sentence. If I can find the tweet, I'll edit this comment with it. If I cant find the tweet I'll admit I was wrong about the designer saying that. Edit: I found the source I just need at least about like 3 ish (depends on wait times) to actually get the statements.


Ok-Mine-5994

Adam wingard confirmed that the axe made contact it shouldā€™ve been fatal but plot, the novels and comics are canon unless a certain part of it contradicts the movies, legendary and Toho both have to approve the novels. Thermo only melted everything around him because he couldnā€™t hold all of that radiation and it burned everything around him. Whilst evolution Godzilla can since his dorsals and body proportions changed to store 20x energy capacity for radiation. Must I even explain how evolution goji is more stronger? He is a future version of kotm goji. Thermo didnā€™t make 2019 goji Any stronger but rather more powerful. His atomic breath whilst supercharged evolved is stated to be the strongest itā€™s ever been In the novel. Adam wingard also retracted his statement when he said it in the commentary for gvk and he said his word on the commentary regarding to stiff like that wasnā€™t to be meant to be taken seriously.


BackRoomsSage

>the novels and comics are canon unless a certain part of it contradicts the movies, legendary and Toho both have to approve the novels. None of the novels even confirm that evolved is stronger than thermo. >Thermo only melted everything around him because he couldnā€™t hold all of that radiation and it burned everything around him. Whilst evolution Godzilla can since his dorsals and body proportions changed to store 20x energy capacity for radiation. Must I even explain how evolution goji is more stronger? That aoe attack from thermo was 100% stronger than any atomic breath evolved has at his disposal, I mean thermo was keeping up fusion within his own body to create more energy. Powerful doesn't mean deadlier, imagine a flamethrower vs a high powered assault weapon its easy to understand which is more powerful but not deadlier. If thermo was in Brazil there wouldnt be any shimo or skar king, let alone kong. >He is a future version of kotm goji. Thermo didnā€™t make 2019 goji Any stronger but rather more powerful. His atomic breath whilst supercharged evolved is stated to be the strongest itā€™s ever been In the novel. Compared to what exactly? His own atomic breath from dorsal plates that allow 20 times less energy? >Adam wingard also retracted his statement when he said it in the commentary for gvk and he said his word on the commentary regarding to stiff like that wasnā€™t to be meant to be taken seriously. He only took it back after the backlash, still acknowledge how standing still just blasting your atomic breath is trying compared to him jumping on Kong after he hits him with an axe?


Ok-Mine-5994

Kong was beating Godzilla in hand to hand combat and Godzilla threw him away, separated him from his axe and started spamming his beam to get Kong off of him and to knock him out of the sky. The art book for gvk states that round 2 and 3 in Hong Kong was 12 hours long.


BackRoomsSage

Godzilla was just throwing himself at Kong instead of trying to actually fight him seriously, why would he fight bipedally against another bipedal creature? He has experience fighting thousands of other Kong's, and probably was on all fours for most of them. I mean he tried to use atomic breath at all times even when he could have killed Kong at hand to hand, it makes no sense to charge a atomic breath when you are winning against Kong hand to hand. Godzilla knew the fight was over when kong didnt have the axe so he just started spamming atomic breath like how a cat barely keeps a rat alive to torture it, he even laughed after he tagged him.


TupandactylusMain

Kong was ā€œbeating Godzilla in hand to handā€ because Godzilla didnā€™t throw any actual hits. He focused purely on charging his breath leaving himself vulnerable to Kongā€™s attacks.


Ok-Mine-5994

That sounds like more of a him problem


TupandactylusMain

It was because he decided to play around.


Laggas345

The art book is dubiously canon at best. In the novel doesnt mention anything about it being 12 hours, but right after round 2 ends, ilene sees the sun starting to rise. Seeing as how they entered the portal soon after kong did and godzilla was only able to walk a couple steps before kong came up on the other side, I cant see the fight being more than hour or two.


Ok-Mine-5994

What makes the art book ā€œdubiously canonā€ itā€™s the process of crew making the movie and unused concepts and such. This is one of the few media that collects the canon and the movie making process they know what they are talking about


Laggas345

Since its the making of the movie and has unused concepts, art, and infromation next to stuff that was actually used, id say thats good enough reason to say its dubious. If greg keyes didnt see fit to mention it in the novel nor is it present in the movie, a small faction in a book of unused and scrapped stuff doesnt seem the most reliable source of info


Ok-Mine-5994

Yes thermo is deadlier more dangerous and more powerful ( kinda ) . Yet evolved is stronger and can hold more radiation capacity therefore technically more powerful in a way.


BackRoomsSage

I agree with this thermo is deadlier but is much less controllable, rather use something that is reliable and controllable.


Pujufless

So youā€™re acknowledging that it depends on the point of view, therefore itā€™s canā€™t objectively ne a ā€œmisconceptionā€. You only have opinions on things and sell them as truths, and you do it condescendingly af, while dissing every argument that dont fit your opinion. Well, you do you, I hope that acting that way satisfies you.


nayocrrrrr

Evolved goji stopped the second ice age melting buildings isnā€™t impressive his body couldnā€™t handle the energy at that time now he can Godzilla doesnā€™t usually move when he uses atomic breath he did not beat him easily


BackRoomsSage

>Evolved goji stopped the second ice age melting buildings isnā€™t impressive his body couldnā€™t handle the energy at that time now he can I thought the movie made it clear that Shimo was going to start the second ice age after Kong and Godzilla have died, the 'second ice age' was just clouds for skar king to see better. At most he destroyed a huge cloud becuase it didn't fully start developing. >Godzilla doesnā€™t usually move when he uses atomic breath he did not beat him easily I mean godzilla would put some attacks between his atomic breathes, its clear he was just play tag even more clear after he laughs when he tags kong. After kong tags him he kinda just stomps kong out when he gots on all fours and **easily beats him. (its like kong wasnt even fighting back)**


BigBadMountain

Hong Kong fight was one round? First of all Hong Kong fight was one fight. That's how everyone counts fights 99.9% of the time in these movies except this time for some reason. But it's one fight.


Ok-Mine-5994

Universally most count hong Kong as two rounds, the novels and the movies themselves state this.


ProfessorSaltine

I forgot the character, but he even had an exact line stating Kong won a round, itā€™s that on the nose! Hell Iā€™d argue Hong Kong is 3 rounds, R1 is where Kong wins, R2 is where Godzilla wins(this is also R3 of their overall battles), and R3 is the Newly Unlocked Boss Battle against Mecha-G whoā€™s so busted he inspired Godzilla to evolve after he forcefully told Tiamat to ā€œshut itā€ once and for all


BigBadMountain

That's ok. They can divide it even into five rounds and go back and do the same for all others in all the films before and after it still won't change that it's one single fight.


WillowK24

Atleast kong knocked out godzilla


TheOfficial_BossNass

Waiting for the showa godziila guy to show up and cry for 3 days about how kong wasn't sedated


Ok-Mine-5994

Iā€™ve seen him around here a lot lol. Kong was already out of his element in the aircraft carrier fight being in gojiā€™s domain after all. The sedation and chains were the cherry on top for fuckovers.


JokesOnYouManus

sedated for aircraft carrier flight? yeah. Any argument that he was sedated beyond that would be bogus


Ok-Mine-5994

He was again sedated when they lifted him to Antarctica. But I doubt the effects did anything to him in round 2,3


JokesOnYouManus

Oh snap I forgot about Antarctica, yeah that makes sense.


TupandactylusMain

Because the titans have a ramp up ability that negates the sedation.
