Well, that sure is one creative rumor. Destroyah would have poorly executed, and he would have sucked, so I am glad they didn't use Destroyah. Plus, he would seem out of place.

I used to think that GFW was a pretty good flick... Then i looked past the flashy lights lol. The plot is a mess... They tried to do too much in a single movie, and the monster "battles" were crazy short, excluding monster X. The human fight scenes were meh. It's a pretty mindless movie.

but go watch "the creeping terror" and you'll see a movie that makes even the weakest godzilla film look like avatar lmao.

He's easily the most important and most powerful kaiju in the franchise. so powerful that Godzilla is helpless against his power, and pleads for mercy, which the gracious Condor grants him. I mean, even the editor wasn't able to show a single shot of the Condor onscreen for more than half a second, because no-one can handle that much sheer power for more than a second.

Is this the thread where anybody can post questions regarding the Final Wars film? If so, here's mine...

Did anybody notice that the jazz music played in the Antarctic base was off of the Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla score?

Yeah. Personally, it's one of my favorite soundtracks of all time, so I immediately knew what I was hearing. Can't really speak for others around here.

It was ages since I've first seen Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla, and I finally got my own copy after 20 years. Seeing it again after so long, I was surprised that I didn't remember the movie's score had a jazz feel to it. Watching Final Wars beforehand, I do remember catching the jazz music played in the Antarctic base, and I didn't think much of it; just thought it was random jazz music. Until, of course, after watching Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla, I finally made the connection; needless to say I was taken aback.

It's a fantastic little number. One of the best in the film! It was a pleasant surprise when I heard it in FINAL WARS. I love that the one guy is jammin' to it as well. :lol:

Godzilla: Final Wars does not directly reference the events of other Toho films. Therefore, it's not connected to any other Toho film.

GFW takes place in its own little universe where no other Godzilla films happened, even the original one.

The only other film to be directly referenced in the first one.

Maybe it's me, but I also enjoyed Final Wars for what it is, hell, it's probably my favorite of the modern day Godzilla movies, I even like it more than GMK. The human story, while not the most original in the series, is very fun, different and very over-the-top, love the set designs; the monster designs especially Gigan looks amazing. I guess it depends on what a person is looking for when watching this film, and I personally expected an fun, over-the-top ride and that's what I got. :)

That's the way I too see FW. It really didn't stick to any of the previous continuities. It just took it for granted that all the fans knew who Godzilla was/is and they went from there.

I read that Megalon and Battra both were ment to be in the film for the same role, but both were replaced by hedorah. Megagirus was also considered but ended up becoming stock footage. And for Destroyah in Monster X's place, make scince because godzilla didn't kill him hin the orignal finale to the series.

Yes, Destoroyah was planned for Final Wars. I am unsure whether or not he was supposed to me the main villain like Keizer Ghidorah, or was just another monster. I was reading Godzilla Wiki last night, and apparently, Bagan was supposed to be in the movie too. The only monsters that Final Wars reused were simply most of the Showa monsters. Nothing more, nothing less.

Godzilla Wiki isn't a very reliable source, from what I've heard.

No, no, and no.
