Godzilla's Entrance in GvsMG

[Mincecraft]

I think I heard it in the youtube fan film Godzilla X The Kaiju Killer (an excellent film). The secondary villain Mugal (isnt that a villain in GvsMG?) resembles them and he is called Simian. Also, wikipedia calls them that (but thats just wiki).

[Tyler]

Aren't they called Simians in comics?

[wrongnote85]

that is my favorite moment in the entire franchise.

Its a name Ive heard for the Black Hole Aliens, MechaGs makers.

Better put down the G-Fan, my friend. That name isn't official in any way. I have no idea why people keep using it.

What's the biggg deal? The name is pretty fitting, since they are uhh... simian

Yes, and the Wiki entry for King Ghidorah calls the aliens in MONSTER ZERO the "Xians," which is another unofficial name that was adopted by G-Fan and other publications in the 90s but fell out of use when Toho made GFW.

They're "Black Hole Aliens," or if you prefer a longer name, "Aliens from the Third Planet of the Black Hole, Outer Space." It's a lot easier to type "Simians," but that doesn't mean it's what they really are.

Because that's the same thing as calling King Caesar, "Big Dog-Looking Thing" or "Azumi Guardian Monster." Both are fitting names, but they're not the correct ones.

Well then. This is interesting. I suggest we stop where we are right now.

Well in the first Mechagodzilla film at least. In the second they have melted faces.

I thought it was odd how they're shapeshifting mutants in Godzilla Legends #3 yet called Simians.

There's nothing wrong about custom nicknames. As long as they're considered as such.

Maybe in TOM Toho just didn't want to spend as much on props. If they are shapeshifters, it doesn't look like they are very good at it just looking at them in GvMG & TOM

I doubt that was the issue. It probably had something to do with Honda, or Nakako not being satisfied with the look of the Black Hole Aliens in 1974, and wanted to try something different.

There isn't anything to suggest that they are "shape shifters". There is simpy no in-universe explanation for why they look different in both films.

[Mincecraft]

Oh man, were still going on about that? Im amazed I caused this debate. (Not that that's bad. )

Maybe that's how they should have looked in the first place. My initial thought with the ape look was due to all of the Planet of the Apes movies that had been made recently before that.... Assuming Toho wanted to capitalize on their popularity at the time, and hoping it would spill over for their movie
