He was moving fluidly in that flashback shot of him roaring. So he probably still does it was just the shots they showed just wasn't him moving at the moment.

Some ass jockey decided to not crop dust the crowd, dude let off some straight napalm and cleared a 20 ft radius and didn’t flinch, he just moved up closer. I prayed Sandra wouldn’t catch a whiff, talk about Endgame....just gross.

Counting the other forms, Shin is the most un-Godzilla like since Zilla.

TBH, I'm not bothered by either design and/or portrayal. In fact, I like both.
Besides, no-one batted an eye when MireGoji and GMKGoji looked different from Heisei's designs.

If you can't see how Shin and MonPla look significantly different from the standard Godzilla design and think they are comparable to Millennium and GMK Godzilla, then I don't know what to tell you.

Nope, that would be the LP Godzilla. Shin Godzilla looks, acts, and is closer to the 1954 original and other gojis when compared to LP Godzilla.

Sorry, but Shin Godzilla resembles the 1954-55 Godzilla, and MP resembles LP Godzilla. Shingoji looks very similar to the standard Godzilla design, as does MP Goji, with some bizarre twists and additions.
OH NO, IT'S GAWDZILLER!! :D

How exactly does Shin resemble G54 more? The long ass tail, the 5 rows of scutes, the tiny arms, the split jaw, the pear shape, the beady eyes, the extra toe nails growing on his feet.?

Seen some pictures around the web and now I'd really like to see Godzilla's atomic breath be neon green.

Most likely won't be but one can dream. :)

First, what would you consider to be the ''standard Godzilla design?
Second, the look had almost always been different one way or another for decades:

Third, I wasn't comparing the designs themselves, I was comparing people's reactions of such.

So? Neither was it possessed by angry WWII ghosts.
Wait, are we talking about design or backstory? Pick either one and stick to it.

And what does that prove? LP was also an update wouldn't you agree? How does Shin hold more weight to Legendary in that regard? (Please dont tell me because he is a Toho creation) or His baby palm hands shown upward? Saying shin is the most like G54 because of what exactly.......the same roars in the film? Or is it because YOU want it to be. Which is cool but others WILL find that LP is more. Honestly who cares though? ( I know too many).

Just because I like Shin Godzilla doesn't mean I hate Legendary's 2014 reboot. I enjoy both films and both designs, both try to

What kind of question is that? I was merely defending, not make one inferior to the other.

Not just design or roar or whatever, but the reactions from the characters towards said creature are somewhat parallel. Heck it's even similar to the '84 film. I'm not just judging the film by how it's Godzilla looks, but also the story and execution.
Besides, when did I say anything me wanting something to be?
While we're at it, What do you want it to be?
goji89 wrote:Which is cool but others WILL find that LP is more.
To me, Legendary's design is just as cool. It's vaguely resembles a bit of the '89-'95 designs, as well as Stan Winston's '96 maquette.
That and the 2014 film is more on par with Raids Again, vs. Hedorah, vs. Mechagodzilla, Terror of Mechagodzilla, vs. Biollante, 2000, vs. Megaguirus, and even the Rossio/Elliott '94 script and the also-cancelled 3D to the Max.
goji89 wrote:Honestly who cares though? ( I know too many).
I'd say the same. Who the heck cares if either of the three look different from each other and previous incarnations? If anything, we should be glad that none of them look like exact carbon copies.


TLDR, as a G-fan, I can like a bit of everything, it's called an opinion. At least I've some common sense.

THE only standard Godzilla design is 1954.

I think the reason this Godzilla is always smiling is because he's been thinking of joke for 20,000 years.

Rather like the design all told, about what I'd exoect a plant based G to look like. Going plant is weird but its an inreasting idea.

Godzilla is/looks like a giant, featherless dinosaur. Shin wasn't that and it doesn't look like MonPla will be either. Shin was a perversion worse than Zilla, I'm afraid MonPla will be too.

^Thats your opinion, and I will respect that. I for one am happy Godzilla is continuing to exist through actual new ideas.

Different Godzilla appearances are obviously bad, I refuse to see different variations on a 60+ year old franchise. Change frightens and upsets me.

I'll always take a new failure instead of safe and non-confrontational stagnation. Even if the design does nothing for me.

Eh, Godzilla's pretty much a "dinosaur" in name only. AnimeGoji looks reptilian enough even in spite of his plant-based origins, IMO.
