Shin Godzilla is infinitely adaptable, and it was like "Oh poo poo, I thought I was awesome being one big thing, but a lot of little things are giving me a hard time. Guess I better become a bunch of (relatively) little things."

Doesn’t the art book basically spell out that if left unchecked Godzilla would have just continue evolving until it consumed the universe?

Yeah, that's where I heard it. And they're obviously being absorbed, there's a shot where you see his tail start to open.

You and I have very different definitions of "human" clearly. 20 foot tall monstrosities with a hundred teeth and godzilla spines and super long claws and exoskeletons look human to you because they're vaguely humanoid shaped. Good to know.

Sorry, didn't notice the absence of "not" in my post. To be clear, there's a shot while G's still frozen before the final battle where you see his tail notch open, it's ominous as hell but kinda forgettable until the final shot.

If I remember correctly there is also a mouth coming out of the tail? I almost want to say it looks like an Eva or angel mouth, at least more humanoid than Godzilla's. I remember a mouth at the end of the tail (maybe that was the jaw opening when the tail notch opens?) and in that final shot the tail almost resembles a peduncle on an agave or something similar with the humanoids coming out.

You can see it in the second picture Vinter posted above yeah. I think it's suggested Shin grew the mouth so it could fire the atomic breath from the tail.

I don't think absorption had anything to do with it? It was evolution and adaptation.

Yeah, y'all are adding too many steps to it. Remember the scene with Godzilla's genome and how fuckin' big it was? The point of that is that Godzilla can adapt to literally anything.

The absortion thing comes from a decent theory. No one knows for sure in the end. https://www.inverse.com/article/35139-shin-godzilla-tail-skeletons-ending-scene-goro-maki quote:Early on in the film, they discuss a professor named Goro Maki, who was run out of Japan after his wife died of radiation sickness. While working in America, he began research on a pre-historic monster at the bottom of the sea that was powered by nuclear waste; he was the godfather of Godzilla, but was presumed to have committed suicide because no one would believe him.

I had a weird dream I think was a repeat that King Kong had to fight a tiny (to him) but extraordinarily deadly vaguely humanoid jellyfish creature that floated in the air and danced a lot. Has there been a jellyfish monster? They're already alien as hell. Or a siphonophore.

Finally got to see Shin Godzilla (dubbed, unfortunately) last night and I really enjoyed it. It was a very different take on Godzilla and I hope that they do a sequel. I liked the different stages of metamorphosis that Godzilla went through and the designs were very good. The path of destruction was filmed really well, it felt very real. Most impressive was that it only cost $15 million.

I rewatched Mothra for the first time in a few years and it's still my favorite Showa era film aside from the 54 Godzilla. It's just so rich in color and scope. My only gripe is that the bad guy gets served mob justice rather than divine justice. I'd love Mothra to have inadvertently killed in by presence alone, but I understand why they did it the way they did.

I think I'm fine with that. Shin Godzilla stands well on it's own, and I don't think it'd benefit much from a direct sequel. Besides, "Godzilla cinematic universe" isn't much different from what it's always been. Schwarzwald fucked around with this message at 23:16 on May 20, 2018 |

It's just weird that they describe it like it was a new concept in the vein of the MCU, and not the exact thing they were doing almost 60 years earlier.

It's way older than that, but money people THINK it's a new thing. Also the Heisei series is mostly OK so I'm on board with a second one.

I understand what you're getting at, but it's not like you need to have watched "Mothra" to understand "Destroy All Monsters" (in fact, it might just be unnecessarily confusing)

The next Godzilla movie was planned to be King of the Monsters anyway with Mothra, Rodan, and the flying gold hydra dude, and following from American Godzilla instead, so this is more confirming what we already knew.

Honestly I think it's the right choice too, Shin Godzilla is stone cold in a lot of ways and it'd be kind of silly to do a sequel to that particular take with more monsters in it and stuff. Great standalone movie. I'm just glad this next one is still happening, did Skull Island flop or something? Not a lot was said about a Godzilla 2/King of the Monsters kind of thing since not long after Godzilla 2014 came out.

It didn't flop (and I think it might have done slightly better overall than G'14 did), but the unfortunate reality is that giant monster movies don't really get much attention in the current blockbuster zeitgeist. They're just weirder and more awkward superhero movies.
