How come Anguirus was not in the Heisi series?

Nah, I think Rodan is an EXCELLENT choice for Godzilla's first opponent.

Granted, I'm very biased in this opinion...

They need to forget about sequels and just make the best single film possible - then if it's a success worry about that stuff. I hate it when a movie feels like the trailer for its sequel. They could go all out and use Ghidorah for all I care - the movie just needs to be good.

???

How is it too early to use Rodan? He's one of the few who can be used in the first film since he's origin is simple, the same as Godzilla's in fact, he's not like Mechagodzilla where you have to save him for a future film.

I would love to tell you what I think but I'm afraid that it might lead to a pointless arguement that's completely off topic. :-x

There isn't gonna be some pointless argument, I just wanna know, why do you think it's too early to use Rodan in the first film?

I just don't think toho would give the rights of rodan or mothra to LP until they see what LP does with the reboot. And if it reaches a certain point of success than I think toho will let LP use them if they plan on doing sequels.

^Okay, I think I see what heiseiGfan is trying to say.

....So, heiseiGfan, would you prefer the film be a solo, or have a brand new monster?

It can't be solo. LP announced that Godzilla will fight more than one monster. Maybe the Gryphon might make an appearance. But let's get back to the main topic.

The Gryphon? No way. That would never happen.

That's like Bagan randomly popping up in another Toho made Godzilla film. That ship sailed quite some time ago.

Okay I see what your saying.

Eh, they're probably just gonna go ahead and use King Ghidorah.

by **Rody** » Wed May 16, 2012 6:12 am

I imagine King Ghidorah would cost more than Rodan.

Because Banno is working with LP I was thinking of hedorah but I think someone mentioned that they won't use him.

I don't know why Anguirus wasn't in the Heisi series? I heard it's because he isn't popular in Japan then he is in America.

The one on the far left is not actually an Anguirus design though. This is what somebody who's on "the inside" said on my Facebook about a year ago.

"The caption actually says that the two right sketches are from the proposed GODZILLA VS. GHOST GODZILLA. The sketch on the left is for an evolving creature called "Barubaroi", which has a split-back plate like Angilas (it doesn't identify which film this was designed for)."

Interesting, I have an old book called "Godzilla" published in 1977 by Crestwood House and it has a picture with Anguirus' back armor split down the middle like that. It's actually like a composite shot cause the Godzilla is not the "Gigantis" suit. Of course this book calls Anguirus, quote, "the fire breathing Armadillo". So, who knows, it could have been the suit that was to be used in "The Volcano Monsters".

Actually, that was a (quite silly-looking) pre-production reference model.

Ya know now that I see that picture of Barubaroi and others like it, he gives me a sort of "The Thing" vibe. Ive seen one picture of him that he appears to have parts of several other kaiju in him like The Thing.

EDIT:l Found pics courtesey of ebirahsmeg:

Let's face it, Anguirus was just too awesome for the Heisei series and he would've stole the spotlight from Godzilla, then the audiences would've wanted an Anguirus trilogy and Mothra's trilogy would've been cancelled. Not to mention the sheer amount of popularity that Gigan would get from becoming the main antagonist of Anguirus in said trilogy.

by **Mincecraft** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 5:08 am

Aguirus is apparently more popular in America than Japan. Mothra is more recognizable than him, no way her trilogy is gettin interrupted.

by **antovald20** » Wed Jul 04, 2012 6:36 am

^ That's what I'm saying, he has his own song!! And single comic issue dedicated to him. That's how popular he is over here.
