Filius is not a baby he's fully grown. Godzilla Earth is just massively bigger and stronger than what he started as die to fusing with Earth.LSD Jellyfish wrote:The point of having the Baby (let’s call it that cause that’s pretty much what it is) is to allow there to be some hope, and have the film focus on Godzilla, yet make sure it doesn’t seem too easy. It was hard killing the baby one that was only 50 m, and yet now there’s a 300m one, the original. It’s actually a great way to hype Godzilla, while at the same time letting characters have victories. Also it’s a good way to allow the humans to still be able to interact with a monster and have an interesting final sequence without just using a big mech.vibramrunner wrote:Not the one that blew up, apparently. It is technically a wrong choice of words, as it's stated in the movie that it's not actually GODZILLA Godzilla, but a similar offshoot. But another monster in its place would've been my preference.
Another monster would’ve completely ruined the point of the film. The baby Godzilla, plants and Servum, all proves that Godzilla is asexually reproducing and that the planet truly is a Godzilla planet.
I’ve seen some people annoyed by there being two Godzilla’s or there being a baby one that’s significantly weaker, but is anyone forgetting Minya/Godzilla junior as well? Would you say Godzilla Junior is GINO? Presumably this baby Godzilla would eventually grow giant like his daddy.

Do we have any confirmation that the baby wouldn’t grow bigger or do the same things over the same timespan? Where do the names even come from? Nothing in the film really refers to him as that

From a magazine or something I guess; I mean even the Servum aren't referred to by their name. Check Wikizilla if you want a definite answer.LSD Jellyfish wrote: do the names even come from? Nothing in the film really refers to him as that

The name "Godzilla Filius" comes from the theater program for the film. "Godzilla Earth" is used by the film's official Twitter and website, and has spread through numerous Japanese sources.

^^^Yeah, kinda hoping Hedorah reappears in the sequels in some format.
I suppose one thing that’s disappointing is how there’s no classic monsters returning as of now, beyond the quick montage. I hope the manga or sequels brings back some of the monsters.

Re: Godzilla: Monster Planet Trilogy SPOILERS Discussion
Since Hedorah is apparently a bio-weapon in this timeline, it would be pretty easy to bring him in. Either they salvage him like Mechagodzilla, or they attempt to create another Hedorah.
I would also be on board for a MonsterVerse Hedorah. Just more Hedorah in general.

I can't believe that Godzilla was the only surviving member of its species, but if we continue conducting nuclear tests, it's possible that another Godzilla might appear somewhere in the world again.

Re: Godzilla: Monster Planet Trilogy SPOILERS Discussion
I think everyone pretty much agrees Hedorah is probably be most underutilized monster in the franchise esp considering he’s basically an alternative take on Godzilla. You’re right about the bioweapon thing. Would be kinda confusing if Rodan appeared, but I could see them trying to recreate the Hedorah weapon.GalacticPetey wrote:Since Hedorah is apparently a bio-weapon in this timeline, it would be pretty easy to bring him in.

Also slightly unrelated:
It’s implied the first Godzilla appears due to mankind being bad and polluting and creating problems, based on some remarks by Meti, but does anyone think there’s a reason why Kamacuras, Dogora, Daghra, and Orga appeared? Might the aliens have summoned them?

Yeah, it's so weird why they are so interested in Godzilla, it's also weird how they have a prophecy about Goji. Those Exif have something up and I'm very curious about it.

Re: Godzilla: Monster Planet Trilogy SPOILERS Discussion
The novel says that Hedorah disappeared after it went out of control following the battle against Anguirus and Rodan. So for all we know it could still be lurking around on the Earth, just waiting to be awakened again. Hedorah could be a compelling threat for this Godzilla: a monster bred by humanity's folly that aims to destroy the planet against a monster that seemingly arose to end humanity's reign over the Earth and has essentially become one with the planet.

I have noticed that for a sci-fi film, it feels like WOW or some other fantasy just in space and with tech instead of magic, the aliens even remind me of elves and dark elves.Destorogoji wrote:Yeah, it's so weird why they are so interested in Godzilla, it's also weird how they have a prophecy about Goji.

As for the prophecy, I don't find that weird, if something like Godzilla actually showed up in real life, religious people would mistake it for something like the beast of revelations in the bible and think it's the end times.

With servum and filius both coming from Latin, I'm wishing Godzilla Earth was called Godzilla Tellus or Terra, but that's just the geeky Latin student in me.

Re: Godzilla: Monster Planet Trilogy SPOILERS Discussion
For me atleast, Haruo was a pretty good character. Of course the next two films can expand let his arc grow more. I thought him saying "The Earth.....it remembered us.." was quite touching- even more since he saw those pink flowers from that necklace thing his parents gave him.
Anyone else think there are more "Filius" out there?

Nice catch, I didn’t notice the flowers thing. Also ina.

In terms of more Filius, I think it’s possible but unlikely. It’s noted that by the drones that there aren’t many life signs, or intriguing things going on, other than them finding the Filius. The big daddy was hiding underground, and while it’s possible there’s more Filius underground I doubt it. I think the series will now want to be solely focused on the original Godzilla. Even though Filius died in the first filmill doubt they’ll reduce smaller Godzilla’s to casual threats, the Servum will continue to have that function.
