Monster Discussion: Megaguirus

[StAiRcAsE KiTtY]

A thread devoted to, IMO, the best insectoid kaiju in existance: Megaguirus. I love this beauty of a kaiju so much. I really wish to see her come back sometime.

[Mr. Xeno]

Now that I think about it, her design kinda reminds me of the Brundlefly from David Cronenberg's The Fly remake.

[UltramanGoji]

I love the design for Megaguirus, especially that reptilian-like head. It's a shame she wasn't in a better movie.

[Spuro]

Well, I actually agree with Staircase Kitty for once. Despite starring in a lackluster film, Megaguirus is easily one of my all-time favorite kaiju.

[GigaBowserG]

Cannot deny Megaguirus is one of the best bug monsters, not only design-wise, but also with her sadistic and crafty personality. Definitely the highlight of her film. If only the film itself wasn't so... not great

[edgaguirus]

Megaguirus is a great kaiju, both design and personality wise. She may not have been strong, bust she was viscious, cunning, and gave the king of the monsters a hard time. I'd like to see her again, too, but I doubt that will happen again.

[Jatahaxe]

Looking at that picture, I somehow all of a sudden realize that Megaguirus looks like the lovechild of Zuul and a giant hornet.
On that note, I've always adored how demonic, yet primordial she looks. A fairly unique Godzilla kaiju.

[Godzilla165]

I absolutely love both the look and overall personality of her, and as everyone else has stated, it's a shame that she wasn't in a better movie.

[Rodan]

I think Megaguirus is a ton of fun -- great design, even if it runs a little close to Battra, and it's just kind of joyous to get such an out-and-out villainous monster in the Millenium series.

That smile before she drops a building on Godzilla? So campy, but so awesome.

Tonally, vs. Megaguirus is the perfect movie for her. I just wish its script weren't such a mess in seemingly unintentional ways.

[Dannybeane]

I love Megaguirus, she is a great kaiju that was just in a terrible film. I will give credit for Tezuka bringing back the Meganulon from Rodan and expanding on them. Now if we could just get another Rodan film featuring Megaguirus then Toho could have all my money. Rodan X Megauirus: Big Battle of the Samurais of the Sky

[GalacticPetey]

A showdown between Rodan and Megaguirus would be incredible and a great way to bring back the character.

[Space Hunter M]

I thought the match up between Godzilla and Megaguirus was interesting at the very least. She has almost no durability, but was still able to hold herself against Godzilla just through agility alone.

[Godzillian]

Interesting idea and design but awful execution

[LamangoKaijura]

I always wondered why Megaguirus never took part in the fight against the Trilopods, especially when they caught her at some point and mimic'd her DNA.

Yeah, I agree. Sets Megaguirus apart from many kaiju, not just Godzilla. Very unique range of abilities.


Great kaiju, don't care for the movie though.

[BlankAccount]

Loved that we got a sadistic personality again. She was the Gigan for the newer generation of G fans. Also a smart villain who didn't rely on just being stronger. And I'm in the minority here, I thought the movie was fun. Not good, but fun.
