Tking22 Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 It's an entirely new monster, we saw it toy form recently: are you sure you want to see this? absolutely sure? ok... That's the exact figure I posted about above, there was also a set with a flying MUTO. The screen I posted above is from the Wondercon footage, so that's an actual shot of the ground type MUTO. Quote
TangledThorns Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 The hate for the 1998 American Godzilla film is getting old. I liked it when it was first released, saw it three times in the theater. The only bad part was the acting, mainly by Maria Pitillo, but the acting the Japanese Godzilla films we're mostly bad too. LOL Quote
CrazyDude Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Problem with the US-Godzilla was that it was of a monster/Jurassic Park movie than a Godzilla one. Egg laying Tuna munching oversized lizard. Not a bad movie but not Godzilla. Quote

Not a bad movie but not Godzilla. This, as a stand alone giant monster movie, it was okay, passable in my opinion, but as a Godzilla film it was awful, there's a reason many refer to him as Zilla and not Godzilla. The hate for a lot of movies I like is upsetting, but there's no need to get annoyed about it. Quote
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Even as a stand alone monster movie, I found the idea of something that size managing to hide underground in existing tunnels (it didn't did em himself) under NY stretching spatial physics a bit too far. Quote
TangledThorns Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I wonder if it'll breathe radioactive fire? Quote
Kelsain Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 That second pic looks remarkably like a guy in a suit. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 If you shrink the gullet back a few mm and get rid of some of that back scale it starts to look like a Japanese Godzilla again. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 fatzilla. i mean great improvement from 98 but why'd they make him look like he has a fat ass neck or goitre Quote
Golden Arms Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Yeah they totally F@$k#d the design. It looks like an overweight cat. They must've hired Rob Leifeld to design the creature. Edited April 28, 2014 by Golden Arms Quote
azrael Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 They must've hired Rob Leifeld to design the creature. If Liefeld designed that, it would be all upper body muscles and no fat. The feet would look like clown shoes or a diamond (depends on the angle). And the body would be bending at all the wrong angles. Quote
TangledThorns Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Yeah they totally F@$k#d the design. It looks like an overweight cat. They must've hired Rob Leifeld to design the creature. I think the design has to do with physics of the action effects. I'm hoping this Godzilla design looks better in motion than it does in a still photo. I remember folk freaking out when they saw the Transformer designs for the Michael Bay films, especially for Megatron and Optimus Prime. In the end it worked great on screen. Quote

I remember folk freaking out when they saw the Transformer designs for the Michael Bay films, especially for Megatron and Optimus Prime. In the end it worked great on screen. Was there a transformers film I'm not aware of? 'Cause nothing in any of the ones I saw could be said to have "worked great on screen." Quote
Golden Arms Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 None of the stills have warmed over to the design. I get your point about motion, so we will have to wait and see if movement helps the aesthetic. The head looks too small for the body. It reminds me of Badroc from Leifeld's Youngblood Comic. Quote
Tking22 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I love it, it looks how I'd expect an impossibly large 150 meter tall radioactive mutant dinosaur to look. Also, I don't think he looks fat, he definitely looks bulky, but if anything I'd say buff, Godzilla looks like he bench presses meteors and can curl an entire island. Quote
Jefuemon Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 If Liefeld designed that, it would be all upper body muscles and no fat. The feet would look like clown shoes or a diamond (depends on the angle). And the body would be bending at all the wrong angles. And pouches. Lots and lots of belts and pouches. Quote
TangledThorns Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Ugh, on my favorite sites I saw posts for new trailers showing Godzilla fighting other monsters. As much as I want to see these trailers I want to avoid them so my eyes will be fresh for the action on the big screen. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Haha. Apparently 2ch is also bitching about his fat neck. http://kotaku.com/japan-thinks-the-new-godzilla-should-hit-the-treadmill-1569153148/all Did he get fat? His neck looks like an American football athlete's. Is this Sin from Final Fantasy X? Out of shape Godzilla He's gone Supersize Me. That's what happens when all you do is eat and lay around. Did he gain weight? He got beefed up from the radiation at Fukushima Metabozilla... He's pudgy and cute. He looks better than the previous Hollywood Godzilla He's got no neck... He looks like a komodo dragon Quote
Mommar Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I agree the side profile still of Godzilla doesn't look great and the stubby neck has put me off but all of the, admittedly limited, footage I've seen of Godzilla in motion looks really good. This guy is built for a fight. Quote
reddsun1 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 0:37 - Meh, this Godzilla's got little feet... Quote
TangledThorns Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 0:37 - Meh, this Godzilla's got little feet... You know what they say about a monster and the size of their feet Quote
aerocombatpilot Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Godzilla IS finally the hero again! I'M IN!!!! Quote

Holy $hit, that's the funniest thing I've ever read. "It worked great on screen". That satanic clown orgy you call Transformers looked as bad on screen as they did in the stills. Back to Fatzilla.....I have hopes that you're right on this one because I've been looking forward to this one for a while. Quote
DuelGundam2099 Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 The Bayformers is awesome when human mouth spam is not on screen. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Holy $hit, that's the funniest thing I've ever read. "It worked great on screen".

Back to Fatzilla.....I have hopes that you're right on this one because I've been looking forward to this one for a while. "satanic clown orgy" - Now that's the funniest thing I've ever read (not to mention I have a thing where clowns are concerned ). All these fat and fat cat Godzilla comments are hilarious. I keep waiting for someone to Photoshop Garfield into a screen grab or something. -b. Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Anyone who calls this version fat cat zilla obviously hasn't seen much of the heisei era suits. Quote
Golden Arms Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) If he has little feet, that further supports my claim that Leifeld helped design him. I bet his feet will most be obstructed when on screen.The more I look at him, I see more of a resemblance to a skink Edited April 30, 2014 by Golden Arms Quote
TangledThorns Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 If you have a large screen smart TV I highly suggest watching the latest trailer on it. I watched it on my 65in Panasonic 1080p plasma and it looked amazing. Watching the trailer on a smaller PC monitor does not do it justice. Quote

Back to Fatzilla.....I have hopes that you're right on this one because I've been looking forward to this one for a while. I'm kind of liking fat-zilla so far, but will have to see it on screen for final opinion. I DID see the first bay-formers movie, and that was the last one I'll ever see. The designs literally looked like garbage . . . Quote
