Who cares, he’s done it in ToMG, Zone Fighter, and GxMegaguirus, what’s the big deal now?
Yeah, Godzilla wins... sometimes. I mean, he was killed by Dr. Serizawa's patented bubble-bath formula, heartburn, missiles, and poor box office returns, got his ass kicked by a drunken, circus-escaped gorilla, then he was beaten by two newborn worms, yeah some “king”.

Imagine Christopher Nolan doing Batman begins with the same script, using the same characters and actors. Now swap Christian Bale out for Adam West in all his full 60's glory... costume and everything. That's my take of how the running scene fits in with the Legendary Godzilla.

He may have done weird and hokey stuff back then, but he shouldn't be doing it now. It's one of the reasons Pacific Rim 2 was just a lame Power Ranger show with unimaginative robots and crappy monsters.

Wasn't there also a scene in Final Wars with Godzilla moving at a fairly fast pace?

Was it during the 3 on 1 fight against Anguirus, King Caesar & Rodan?

To be honest I haven't watched Final Wars in a couple of years...

Jogging at a slightly faster speed is "weird and hokey"?

Like someone earlier in thread stated...

If Elephants, Hippos & Rhinos can have short bursts of increased movement speed...
then why not Godzilla?

I remember a brief shot of him charging Monster X, before they then leaped at one another. Don't know if that's what you're referring to, though.

Oh yeah...there is that scene as well.

Not the one I was thinking of...but that example is even better.

It's both the camera movement and an obvious short cut in the CGI department. It definitely looks dumb.
I don't think they'll fix it when the movie comes out, but it's not that big of a deal, there are movies in this franchise where you can see wires and the monsters being cut or semi-transparent due to the green screen.

Wait, is this debate still going on? I thought it was already settled that the shot in the trailer is sped up :lol:

Seriously, it's just one scene. It's not going to break the entire movie lol, especially if it's not as fast as shown in the trailer. And once again, Godzilla ran/charged plenty of times before that. Big and heavybuilt=/=slow, just look at Hippos and Elephants.

Everyone play the YT trailer at 0.75 speed and see magic happens.

The reason he runs in the trailer is because he’s being fat shamed....

Really though, Showa or GFW references is a stretch because they are different philosophies. The reality is that he should be capable of short bursts of speed especially engaging an enemy.

IMO most complaints are sponsored by those that complained about Millenium Goji acting like a statue in so many shots.

This happened, and we are still talking bout running?

I mean, it does look a bit silly but im confident it wont be as bad as in the trailer.

And again...

I'm between 'improve' and 'looks good.' I don't mind him running as long as it is in burst plus that trailer looks sped up

I thought it was a good ending for the trailer i didnt get too caught up on the CGI of it because ill reserve that judgement til i see the finished product but i had no real qualms with the scene of Ghidorah and Godzilla facing off and running at one another

This, way too much nitpicking

I can't believe that Godzilla running has actually created some controversy. I've seen some stupid ass posts on social media of people bitching about this. "WWHHHHY?! He didn't run in the Heisei series!!!" First off, that's because most of Heisei is garbage. Secondly, then you have a bulky ass, heavy, suit that big... It ain't happening. Dude could barely walk.

I think it looks fine

Maybe I’m just used to it because I played way too much Godzilla Unleashed and abused the sprint
