Godzilla: The Look/Appearance Speculation

[gatorzilla]

Personally I felt the Comic Con Godzilla design was perfect

but

If you wana go for something different I say...

Take the American Godzilla '94 (Stan Winston) design and mix it with Godzilla 2000 design and there I think you could have a winner right there too

[DinoZillaGod]

How will he look: I would say they should go with the Heisei design (charcoal grey skin, feral look on his face, classic dorsal spines, incredibly long tail, & flaming red/orange eyes WOW),with a bit of an update, but still recognizable.

How will he act: I say Godzilla should go back to his original roots, being a destructive force that cannot be stopped, representing the horrors of nuclear destruction.

Should he be good or bad: Hmmmm, I think he should stay as an anti hero, or be more of an animal like in the Heisei series.

This. Or, go back to the very original, 1954, look, to get things started on the right foot, all over again(love his alligator-like scales). Maybe they should do Godzilla 2000 again since I like his face, and skin too, and I always thought that design should get a thirrd movie, since it got two, already. Or the 1955 design again, love his feral look! The only other one I could think of is the Godzilla's Revenge design, could work again, too. Oh, and the 1985 look could work, again. Totally agree on him being an anti-hero and representation of nuclear destruction, for sure, though.

I agree with you gatorzilla, and you two DinoZillaGod, aside from the Heisei version of Godzilla the original 1954 design would do well, or the rejected Stan Winston design. Though it is a shame Stan Winston is gone now, he knew what he was creating for us fans.

I know, whenever I look at the concept he created I get melancholy at what could have been.

[kaiju115]

Same here I was shocked when I heard that he died, I mean, he pretty much did the effects of just about all of my favorite non-Toho films: Aliens, Predator, The Thing (along with Rob Bottin), Terminator 2, all Jurassic Park films, Monster Squad, & he even directed Pumpkinhead which I also enjoyed watching.

In all but the Heisei series Godzila had one row of teeth. I liked the addition of multiple rows of teeth in the Heisei series myself. Which do you think he should have in the upcoming Legendary Picture's Godzilla movie? Vote and sound off below!

.............

This stupid movie can't get out fast enough.

[XxComablack1937xX]

LOL... if Legendary Pictures could only get there ass on this board an see the topic's forming about this film...

But sure i'll play, More then 1 row on each jaw... I think it would look great an even creepier in CGI if done right, Looked great in the 90's series.

Agreed, imagine him turning in the dark, right at us, his gleaming amber eyes are glowing, the camera at his swerving tail angled towards his awesome face, him uttering a sharp roaring snarl, as strings of saliva flits about and drips down his rows and rows of teeth!

[Living Corpse]

Fine, I'll play along.

More then one row. But only if it looks good on the design they choose. Part of the reason it looks so good on Heisei Godzilla is that it just sort of clicks with that design, ya know? If it doesn't fit the design then no, don't do it.

They'd probably get a good laugh at some of the ridiculous conclusions some of the kids come up with and all the arguing some of the older members get into.

Yes, it does have to click like that. I agree that design clicked with the teeth, and in my opinion, it was due in no small part to his feral look. For instance more than one row would not fit Godzilla in Terror of Mechagodzilla, Son of Godzilla, or Godzilla Vs. Ebirah for that matter (to name but a few). But I'd love to see a design that clicked with multiple rows again.

[DinoZillaGod]

Multiple rows. I've decidid I want Godzilla to be one ugly effin mother skreeonk in this movie

[Tohosaurus]

I thought that -at least earlier on- Heisei Godzilla pulled off two rows well.

[shinmattiathekaiju]

How about a topic about Godzilla's intestinal problems?

It wasn't a Nuclear Pulse that hurt King Ghidorah. It was really bad gas.

Radon farts!

Also...I want Godzilla to have those long, fang-like incisors like the 50s and '84 suits.

I thought GMK pulled that off reasonably well too.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

^Yeah, you're right. I forgot that one. I like the needle-sharp look of the '84 fangs the best, though.

[GodzillaIsCool]

I want Godzilla to only have teeth on his upper jaw. Lick his bottom lip seductively.

[Shadow]

Yes yes yes, we have our answer.
