Godzilla: The Look/Appearance Speculation

[Shadow]

"Dude, you fugly."

[Tyler]

I'd LOVE to see that design finally shine. Plus Stan Winston designed it, the man who brought us things like the Alien Queen, the Terminator, and the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park. I can see this design (or something like it) being used as the final design.

Winston was in charge but Crash McCreery did the design

I want that as a poster over my bed.

For me all these dinosaurish designs (including the one from Stan Winston) just don't transport the awe and power, which a 100 meter tall giant monster should necessarily show off to actually be recognized as a monster. These designs mentioned before are just screaming "I'm lame and was too big to get a serious role in Jurassic Park" right in your eyes. Neither monstrous nor intmidating and in no way the "unimaginable and unheard of creature"-type that Godzilla should be. Therefore any design like that wouldn't work for me in a film. The most monstrous and best working designs (for me) were the Heisei version(s), G2K and GMK. They transport basic dinosaurian, but at the same time also some mammalian and even human aspects, making them "unusual". They look gigantic (due to their overall mass), super strong, evil and the most important thing: the first thing coming to mind when you see these is "WOW, what a monster", but NOT "yeah, a dinosaur". Many of the newer "dinosaur-only"-designs just don't carry that feeling. Well, that's just my point of view.

God, look at that texture.

That's what she said.

But Godzilla is a giant dinosaur...his form is rather imaginable and heard of.

Don't be "that guy".

Godzilla is far, far more than "just a giant dinosaur" and you obviously know that.

n00b alert.

SS4G is certainly not a noob.

He's a MODERATOR, after all.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure one of the Global Moderators of this Godzilla forum is a noob.

Makes perfect sense.

It's funny, because aside from maybe myself, and GXG he's the oldest still active member here.

You funny.

I joke I joke, I kid I kid, because it pisses me of when people say Godzilla is just a giant dinosaur, regardless of whether they're a mod or not.

But he IS just a giant dinosaur, who spits fire.
Not exactly the most imaginative design that ever spawned out Japan.

Except for what Godzilla represents in all his destructive might.

You should meet Roland Emmerich, I think you two would get along just fine!

No that was a lizard, Godzilla is a dinosaur.

They're two very different type of animal, that happen to both belong to the greater reptile family.
I honestly don't know how you could describe him as anything MORE than that.
Same way Gamera is a turtle, that flies and spits fire.

Or are you gonna hit me with that "He has a personality!" crap.

But Godzilla does.

Please don't ruin my childhood.

Not in any movie I've ever seen, with the possible exception of All Monsters Attack.

Aside from that, he's usually portrayed as reasonably intelligent, but for the most part a blank slate. The beauty of it all is, the audience imposes whatever persona they want on to him.

He's what you want him to be, but he himself is rather undefined.

He was pretty pissy in GMK.

Well, what if you woke up one day and you were possessed by the souls of WWII soldiers? I think you'd be pretty pissed too.
