I have no idea if the pronunciation is correct or not, but it's not really a big deal to me.

Depends where you put the emphasis, but you've got the vowel sounds basically right.

We should all pronounce it Megagilas then, to go with Angilas. Bam. Wrap your brain about that.

Bleh. I'm sick of all these one sided polls around here!

I always pronounce the monsters' names how the announcer pronounces them in the Pipeworks Godzilla games.

Yeah, let's get into a thing about the Japanese pronunciation of r/l, and let's do so in a text-based medium, where obviously we can most clearly make the required distinctions.

Good, glad we're on the same page!

^ You're forgetting that Anguirus has the greatest number of different pronunciations out of all the monsters!

As long as you ignore that stupid "u," it's all good.

None of the playfully insulting "u vs. you" jokes work in text. Thanks for ruining all my attempts at humor, jerk.

How often do some of you actually verbally discuss these monsters with other people anyway...?

Between people asking me the names of the figures in my office, people asking me the names of the figures in my home, and showing people (most often the soon-to-be-missus these days) the movies, I probably say a few monster names aloud every week.

Well, I either watch the film or play a game where it's name is said and I have my answer.
Oh I see, Mega Geer rus is how I pronounce it.

She's here, she's gweer, so deal with it.

My brother pronounces it as "Mega-gyrus."

Is it "Meer-juh-hanger?"

That's the most bizzare pronunciation yet. Congratulations.
