Monster Discussion #38: Titanosaurus

[Showa Gyaos]

I feel bad for Muruchi though. His death was so damn violent.

The death of that one character was more gruesome. Muruchi got what was coming to him.

Not sure I'm following you? Which character had the more gruesome death? Muruchi, Doragoris or Metron?

Ah, my bad. I thought you were talking about the original Muruchi. Sorry.

It's a shame such a popular actor now makes his living selling used cars.

Titanosaurus may be the final Showa monster, but he's not the least- not at all. The suit looks great, and the monster was a terrific fighter. He gave Godzilla a brutal battle. His musical score is also a nice touch.

[GodzillaXGomoraFight]

Titanosaurus is one of my favorite foes in the Showa Series. Titano was a strong fighter when under mind control. The one problem I had was just how he went down. Godzilla was damn lucky that Titano wasn't in full strength after he got nailed by the JDSF with their sonic waves. Titano should still have gave Godzilla a rougher fight.

[King Caesar]

The movie (had it been done without Titanosaurus) would have been good, but the plot of the movie wove together interesting back stories and good characters in general so well, that the movie may have lost a decent amount of awesomeness without the giant Dino.

Good Kaiju. I would like to see him in another movie soon.

He aint to bad they should make a melliniam

[Tohosaurus]

Very cool monster. Can't help but think he'd have been way cooler in Godzilla vs The Sea Monster instead of Ebirah, but I suppose that's pointless whining at this point.

[therealmccoy]

Definetly one of my favorite. I think it would have been nice to see him solo against Godzilla, and maybe not under control, but the movie he was in was good, and a good way to introduce him into the series.

[Giga Kaiju]

Easily One Of My favorite Monsters in the Showa Series, His Roar Is So different Apperance really close
of Godzilla. I Hope he Reappears In Another Movie.

His skin made me want to have a pepperoni pizza

Thanks. Now I want to have a pepperoni pizza. But I don't have any money.
Seriously though, his color was a very interesting choice.

[Tyler]

He's got really bad acne.

[therealmccoy]

He's got really bad acne.

I think he was just really allergic to Godzilla.

[Showa Gyaos]

They're "freckles" according to my mother.

[HayesAJones]

I like his warts. They give him nice texture.

[Giga Kaiju]

His Skin is Original I Like It,
i think it got form when he got close to Corals, crustaceous
etc.

[therealmccoy]

I've heard a lot of people say they wish he would've been in the Heisei series. I kind of would liked to have seen him, but maybe we should be thankful he wasn't. You know damn well they would have given him a beam weapon which, like Rodan, wouldn't have looked right. The tooth-and-claw monsters should have stayed that way; that's part of their character. Anyway, if they could've avoided the beam-wars concept, he would've been great in that series.

[TokyoVigilante]

Kawakita thought to much physical fighting was unrealistic, hence the reliance on beam wars.

As for Titanosaurus, it's a shame the only chance he had to shine was in a movie as busy as Terror of Mechagodzilla. But he's never left a big impression on me.

[therealmccoy]

I couldn't give a good reason as to why I like him. You could say that "He's a throwback to T&C", but honestly, I think that when I was a kid I just thought he looked and sounded cool as hell.
