Guys, this isn't fantasy matches, please quit whining about Baragon being able to beat Maguma. This thread is about Maguma, not Baragon.

Varan is more so then the basically a giant walrus monster Maguma. Varan is more creative anyway.

Maguma is a giant walrus, but you could also say that Varan is a giant flying dragon, a kind of lizard that glides.

Yeah but he isn't as basic and simple looking as Maguma.

JVM, your not a mod, please quit trying to be. This forum had other people that can do that, not you

I made the thread. Generally, you're allowed to make rules for a thread if you started it. Per example, if I ask for a thread to be locked, it can be locked.

On that note, will a mod please lock this?

Yeah but he isn't as basic and simple looking as Maguma.

Every monster is rather basic and simple looking.

Varan has a much better design than Maguma. I would like to see the overgrown walrus come back in a later film though.
Wasnt he supposed to be in DAM?

JVM... why do you always trash the Kaiju universe... you really dont deserve to be labeled a fan...

hell.. you even said in the "stupid things ive done" thread that you regret coming back to the fandom...

seriously... your a fan... or your not :roll:

From what I understand, Tanaka squeezed in Maguma at the last second because he thought adding a kaiju would rake in more $$$. A similar thing happened in Atragon with Manda. The movie would more of less play the same without the inclusion of a monster.

@GodzillaDude: Creative creshmative. Creativity =/= Potential.

King Kong is just a giant skreeonk gorilla. So why is HE a bigger icon than any of Toho's monsters?

And for skreeonk's sake, I never said Maguma was more creative than Varan - just that Varan isn't special. So quit trying to make SUCH a case Varan is SO superior to Maguma.

@zilla: I'm a fan of Godzilla and many of his films. Not a fan of his minor one-off co-stars who Toho gives not a shit about anyway, nor of his later film outings. But I love the Showa series and Toho's Big Seven, and yes, a few others.

Pretty much everything. I have a lot of regrets going back to before I can technically remember. It'd be easier to list smart things I've done.

The glaring examples:
- My entire existence.
- Getting a PlayStation.
- Breaking off a friendship due to my parents' suspicions it was more.
- Breaking off a different friendship due to thoughts I was being used, though that's been rectified.
- Getting back into Godzilla and various specific Godzilla-related examples I'll spare you for this post.
-Staying in special education after I knew I could function in society.
- Getting into a fight in eighth grade


not what you said there... you always seem to change your story when your called out...

I didn't change the story. I never said I didn't regret rejoining the community. That doesn't mean I'm not a fan. There's no rule in the book saying in order to be a fan you have to be out loud and proud. You have a girlfriend who respects you love Godzilla. Lucky you. Nearly everyone my age I've met thinks Godzilla, Star Wars and everything I love is gay. As for still being in the community? It's just a terrible habit of mine that I prefer to waste my free time on the internet. Not to mention as douchey as 90% of the Godzilla fandom is, it's still far more tolerable than discussing South Park with slash fangirls who don't even watch the show, Star Wars with people convinced anything besides the first two movies is unwatchable, Star Trek fans who anything after Gene Roddenberry's death doesn't count, or Zoo Tycoon fans who overdramatize every little thing.

Yes, this post is mostly a self-serving rant. It was required to answer the question.

You shouldn't be here if it is a "terrible" habit of yours then others won't want you here either.

No you don't have to be loud and proud all the time I've critized G films before but I still show my love for the franchise and topic as a whole more often then not unlike yourself.

What do you want me to do, draw up a list of every positive thing I've said about Godzilla? And really, it doesn't matter if I leave or not, lol, most members don't even notice each other's presence at this point. You're one of only I'd say roughly five people out of I'd say around sixty active users who've called me out.

Life ain't a box of chocolates. I'm not being positive because life ain't positive and I'm not going to be a positive person to make other people feel better.

Thanks.

Anyway... Maguma. Can't say too much, since I've never actually seen this movie.
