Re: Original Final Wars Godzilla desgin
That design looks like complete and utter ass. They just stuck a bunch of dumb looking shit all over a standard Godzilla look.
As some grotesque mutant/clone/whatever variation, then I'd be game. But as "THE" Godzilla? Fuck off.

Re: Original Final Wars Godzilla desgin
Why would they even consider doing something like that? I know you have to beef up the character every once in a while, but this? Way too drastic for me.

Re: Original Final Wars Godzilla desgin
Well, if you think about it, this design would have looked better walking around to the heavy metal in some of the fight scenes in Final Wars.Lord Gappa wrote:Because it's EXTREME1therealmccoy wrote:Why would they even consider doing something like that?

Re: Original Final Wars Godzilla desgin
Kitamura mentioned how he wanted Godzilla to eat people from trains in very very early talks for his Godzilla film, I guess maybe he was trying to out evil GMK Godzilla?
That actually does look like a design Rob Liefeld or Todd McFarlene or some other artist from bullshit nineties comics would cook up.Lord Gappa wrote:Because it's EXTREME1

Re: Original Final Wars Godzilla desgin
(Good thing I have no influence on Godzilla stories/designs, cuz fans would probably hate my guts)
I personally love the original concept designs. Especially the crazy-looking demon/gorgo/spiky skele-zilla design. What's not to like?
Of course, thinking realistically, the design we have now is the smart way to go.

Re: Original Final Wars Godzilla desgin
You want me to tell you the truth?
We're celebrating the fiftieth anniversary, so I would've gone with a recreation of the original 1954 design.

I used to be a lot more optimistic and outgoing, believe it or not. I used to actually be passionate about this stuff.

Re: Original Final Wars Godzilla desgin
The "Spacegodzilla School" of design should stay exclusively with Spacegodzilla. Hey, lets glue a bunch of random, barely relevant tacky shit over an already fine and iconic look to make it fresh for the sake of making it fresh! Everything about the design just screams desperate attempt to darken and gritty up Godzilla.Dust_pan wrote:(Good thing I have no influence on Godzilla stories/designs, cuz fans would probably hate my guts)

Just wondering, because I never said anything relating to those entire two sentences. I just said it looked cool, imo.

You asked "What's not to like?"
I explained that it's tacky and excessive is what not to like about it.

Sorry.

To be honest, I'm surprised nearly a third of the votes are in favor of this design for Godzilla instead of FW Godzilla's suit.

To correct what I said earlier, I do like the design, but not for Godzilla. It would make a cool opponent, or whatever, but not Godzilla. I'm glad they didn't decide on it.

Love the design, personally, but not for Godzilla. It's too excessive.

Re: Original Final Wars Godzilla desgin
If you push in the nose a little, it would make an interesting redesign for Gabara. With all the knobs and stuff all over the body, it kind of looks like him anyway.
