Re: Godzilla x Evangelion - Collaboration
It's always so surreal to see Shin Godzilla interact with other monsters. It makes me wish we just got a proper length animation, or something, involving Shin Godzilla fighting other creatures. Ghidorah as an angel makes sense, and it's weird we technically have a "new Ghidorah".
At this point just release a full 90 minute animated film!

Re: Godzilla x Evangelion - Collaboration
I think there’s a difference between seeing a figure of it, and then briefly seeing it in action. There’s also now “lore” to the character, and it’s not just a nameless idea. It’s an evolved Unit 01, mutated by Shin Godzilla’s energy. Freaky!

Wild how the MV continues to influence Japanese Godzilla stuff. That segment was straight out of Godzilla vs Kong.

I much prefer the Shin Ghidorah design from the Universal ride, it’s more unique. Weird how we now have 2 Shin Ghidorah designs. It’s redundant.GigaBowserG wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 6:04 pmUnfortunately, that 100% is not, it's just the Heisei design with an Angel core slapped on his chest. Super lame, but the animation itself is pretty wonderful.OGMechaMothra wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 5:42 pm Still really awesome. I think that is the Shin Ghidorah design.

Re: Godzilla x Evangelion - Collaboration
It's not an obstacle, I'm pointing out that they're two completely different projects. One was for USJ, the other is made for Pachinko. It's possible that this collaboration overall is bottom up, and not bottom down. IE, there's a high likelihood whoever made it wasn't aware of Shin Ghidorah and just chose to slap an angel core on Ghidorah. It's also possible that it was easier to use a model of Ghidorah, which I THINK might be ripped from the Godzilla Ps4 game, then get the Shin Ghidorah model and change it to be more "realistic".LegendZilla wrote: ↑Tue Oct 18, 2022 12:45 amWhy would they let that be an obstacle?LSD Jellyfish wrote: ↑Mon Oct 17, 2022 8:49 pmBecause that's for the ride, and this is for pachinko.

There's also a chance they didn't want to reuse Shin Ghidorah's design, because it's not as immediately recognizable to non-Godzilla fans. Keep in mind LEGALLY, only the lucky few who went to the USJ crossover and/or bought the figure would have any idea what Shin Ghidorah looks like. Meanwhile, the people playing Pachinko probably do have a better chance of recognizing Heisei Ghidorah.

Since Toho only cares about making money, not about preserving these movies, they might as well just go and make a movie about this. Just give us a movie already and make the boomers angry please. I'd love that.

The best thing about these crossovers is teasing my Eva friends telling them Anno himself thinks Shin Godzilla would wreck the Eva verse lol.

Everytime they cross over Shin beats up the three Evas, then they team up when they realize Shin is there to stop the real threat.ShinGojira14 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 19, 2022 12:47 pmDid Anno actually say that?miguelnuva wrote: ↑Wed Oct 19, 2022 10:18 am The best thing about these crossovers is teasing my Eva friends telling them Anno himself thinks Shin Godzilla would wreck the Eva verse lol.

Re: Godzilla x Evangelion - Collaboration
I don't think the idea of Shin Godzilla, or other incarnations, being "stronger" than the individual eva units should be surprising or controversial. Typically the Eva Units are complete underdogs, and require heavy planning, assistance, and team work to defeat angels. I think there's very few moments in any Evangelion series where Shinji and/or the others, defeat an angel one on one with ease.
The obvious exceptions are when the Unit goes berserk, or when it enters an god-like state.
Ignoring the latter completely, the berserk evas may be strong but are still complete glass cannons. I assume that the "Eva-Unit-Godzilla" is much stronger than the berserk unit; being able to utilize the Eva's immense strength, agility+Godzilla's beams (?) and durability.
The biggest thing from that trailer, is that we know that's a transformation of Unit-01. Before, when they had the figure, I don't think there was any lore or story behind it.

Re: Godzilla x Evangelion - Collaboration
I was just watching the pachinko video and I don’t know about you guys, but it definitely looks like that while Unit 01 transformed into Eva Godzilla, Shinji totally died.
