Rodan's Roar: KING of the Heisei series?

Postby G1 Startruck Jonez » Sat Sep 04, 2010 12:57 pm

I ask this only because when you watch the Heisei movies, Rodan's roar is used from King Ghidorah to Mechagodzilla (although that's because Rodan is in there, but still).
What do you think? Why was Rodan's roar used for the likes of:
King Ghidorah (distorted)
Godzillasaurus
Battra

Hopefully, one of our "in the know" members can shed some light on the reasons why Toho didn't create an original sound.

Also - can someone help me understand why Gamera's cry was used for Godzillasaurus when he was getting shelled by the US Navy?

They couldnt re-use King Ghidorah's cry from the Showa series?

Godzilla vs. Mothra had some lazy sound effects. Godzilla's beam sounded awful.

Oh I agree. I hated that "beam" sound.

I guess they wanted something with a little more balls. They should have just took the hour in the studio and made a unique call.

I dont know. The Showa cry used to scare me as a kid. Theres a certain maniacle cackle Showa King Ghidorah makes that could've worked in the Heisei version.

Does Battra have Rodan's roar, or is it the other way?

Can someone clear this up for me? They seem to have the same roar, and I found it confusing on who is copying who.

You know, i never noticed this aspect...probably just used the roar for one or the other for money reasons

Rodan has had the roar since 1956. Battra has had it since 1992. Do the math.

Heisei Ghidorah has Rodan's roar, then Battra had it, then they just put Rodan in a movie.

Seriously?

Ask yourself this question, was Battra around in the 50's?

:lol: oh that's a good one. 'Or is it the other way?' oh that's rich...





... Wait... this is a serious question?

Dude, Rodan's been with us since 1956.
Today, at the edge of our hope...

At the end of our time, we have chosen to believe in each other.

Today we face the monsters that are at our door.

Uh..oh snap. If only I had paid attention in class, I'd be able to do this!

Seriously though bro, Rodan had it first.

It's amazing how the question can be answered, and yet 7 people afterward decided it was necessary to repeat it, and be as insulting as they could at the same time.

I swore when I saw GvM:TBFE the roars sounded subtly different but I guess I was wrong since this fact seems to be brought up constantly.
