Monster Discussion: Kiryu

Postby KiryuFreak » Fri Sep 03, 2010 7:55 pm

Let's use this topic to discuss the Millennium Mechagodzilla, Kiryu (aka Mechagodzilla 3) from Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S..

So, to get the ball rolling, is Kiryu a cool, okay, or lame monster? In my opinion, he's awesome.

Kiryu is a pretty cool guy.

he goes on rampages and doesnt afraid of anything.



But srsly, yeah, he's awesome. Anyone who disagree's (especially regarding his refueling gimmick) deserves a mountain goat to the cooch....or balls. Whichever you have.

Kiryu was awesome. I just wished that the pilots were good so that he wouldn't have to be knocked out everytime he hits the ground

The pilots have nothing to do with that, dude. Its the force of a 40,000 ton robot hitting the ground doing that.

Kiryu was a pretty awesome character. His desgin, and origin was awesome. He remind me a little bit of the Eva Units, and my personal favorite MechaGodzilla next to the Showa MecaGodzilla.

I like him. When I was little I always thought "how cool would it be to have a MechaGodzilla that is cyborg" and here he is. Better yet it's the 1954 one turned into a cyborg.

Doesn't afraid of anything indeed. :D

I really like Kiryu. His design is sleek... I prefer his look over both previous Mechagodzilla designs. While it's strange, I like the idea that Kiryu is the original Godzilla.

Kiryu is ok. I'm not sure we needed another Mechagodzilla, but he had a good design. He was less stiff than the other incarnations and that made combat scenes much better.

Kiryu is cool. Unfortunately, he still has a dopey expression. But, they finally got a Mechagodzilla with a tail.

Lame. Mechagodzilla should never need refueling or any kaiju mech for that matter. Plus he seems weak compared to the other two.

I like him. I just wish Mechagodzilla would be evil again.

Kiryu's cool. A very interesting version of Mechagodzilla.

Why the hell do people let a monster's power dictate whether they like them or not? That's ridiculous.

I say he's cool.

The concept of Kiryu is awesome. The idea of the bones of the original Godzilla gives him more personality and the design is great as well. He's just a pathetic fighter who runs on batteries than can only last up to 2 hours. That's a major negative, especially for a MechaGodzilla incarnation. I think he's cool, he just doesn't compare to the awesomeness of previous MGs.

He works for the role he is meant for. But I don't think he has any more personality then the other MGs. He is still a big robot.

At least in Tokyo SOS they fixed that 2 hour problem.

Kiryu is awesome because he's more than a robotic Godzilla...

He IS Godzilla.
