ASK ME ABOUT BEING ALLERGIC TO POSITIVITY

It's an original Legendary Titan called Shimo. There's lot's of pictures out there of them already so I've no idea why they hid it for the trailer.

They are who originally encased Ghidorah in ice too.

More exciting but unrelated to the above is that Mothra is back.

There’s toys / promotional images of it out there if you know what to look for. (Obvious spoilers ahead) It’s name is Shimo and it’s a more of a 4-legged Godzilla variation and way bigger than Godzilla. Also cleverly hidden in the trailer is Mothra

Yeah that’s the cardinal sin of the movie: you made Godzilla feel small. The only time you should ever attempt that is to highlight the sheer amount of destruction he’s caused (Shin did this to great effect). But, now, you have kaiju-sized amphitheaters with 200 foot-tall monkeys that, yes, looks like a normal thing for normal people to do.

The cast, the plot, etc., can be overlooked as schlock but don’t rob Big G of the “big” part.

This is why Gamera: Guardian of The Universe was like a bomb going off to the kaiju community back when it came out. Godzilla films were losing a sense of scale really and so when Gyaos and Gamera come along and we see them from the human point of view it really gave a greater sense of scale and danger.

"How do we make it look like the ship is pulling out of the harbour when we can't move the set?"

"Have you tried moving the camera instead?"

It's so simple it should be obvious and yet its so brilliant at the same time.

Godzilla has three lines of plates down his back, that guy only has one. So he's a completely unique original character.

Cruise would insist on creating Godzilla in real life for the added authenticity.

Looks cool. Hopefully it's a proper restoration and not some of those really bad upscale jobs.

There already is a 4K UHD of Godzilla 1954 in Japan, and it’s only a couple years old. I’m assuming that this is just a theatrical release.

I'd be interested if it is.

Saw the original Godzilla in a library where they'd set up a projector and a small screen, complete with a little talk about the historical context (either before or after, it's been a few years). Wouldn't mind seeing it again with a larger crowd.

Also, that VFX doc is really neat. Lower budgets tend to make for more interesting behind the scenes.

Imagine being the guy at Fort Knox who has to fill out the paperwork to requisition a portion of the strategic gold reserve to make a gold tooth for a giant gorilla, just shaking your head at how goddamn stupid the whole world has become ever since those giant robot-bugs almost nuked San Francisco.

...well now this is just making me wish for a heist movie centered around trying to steal the giant gold tooth out of King Kong's mouth.

It's been a while since we had a full-on heist plot in a kaiju movie, Dogora was back in the 60s. I guess the Heisei Godzilla vs Mothra movie had some Indiana Jones poo poo, but that's different

They should do an adaptation of that Kaiju Heist comic about a team trying to pull off a heist under the cover of a Kaiju attack.

Why would you say that? The previous movies all did well, and the trailers have lots of engagement, and the dumb horrible Monarch show is still near the top of the AppleTV charts. What evidence do you have? That you personally don't like it?

The general mass public are not the same kind of Godzilla fans that we insane people are. I may think it looks really dumb and bad but fun but if I was 10 years old now like when I saw Godzilla vs. Megalon in the theater I would be making GBS threads my pants at how loving awesome it looks and want to see G & KK team up to beat the poo poo out of evil monkey.
