'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' Final Trailer - Oh My God...Zilla

What are you sitting around reading this for? The Final trailer for ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ has just dropped and it is the best one yet. Check it out below!

Luckily there isn’t much brand new footage for you spoilerphobic people out there. Most of this stuff is from the TV Spots with sprinklings of new footage. I will definitely be posting the full breakdown later today when I find a higher res trailer.

'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' TV Spots "Ghidorah", "Monster," and "Balance" - Highest Quality and Breakdowns

Another day, another bunch of TV Spots. This time there isn’t a ton of new footage but the stuff here is amazing and one of them just might give us a better clue on some story elements for the human characters. Check them all out!

Alright so as per usual I’m gonna breakdown the new stuff that we got from these 30 second trailers. Let’s star off with the one titled Ghidorah.

Godzilla and Ghidorah are all sorts of tangled up during this quick glimpse of one of their fights. These are the battle scenes I am most excited for since it looks like they are going to pull off some choreography that people in suits are unable to do. I do want to address the gonorrhea joke really quick. Is it dumb? Yes. Is it going to ruin the movie? No.

Godzilla roaring in the antarctic. I think this might be right as the first Godzilla Vs Ghidorah fight begins in the Antarctic.

Rodan and Mothra having a dogfight. This shot was actually in trailer two but with Rodan removed. Sneaky sneaky.

Okay so it seems like they really aren’t trying to hide Burning/Fire Godzilla any more. We have no context for why Godzilla gets powered up in this movie but between this shot, the brief glimpse in trailer two, and the final shot of the IMAX preview in front of ‘Shazam!’we know it’s going to happen.

By far the best scene to come out of all three of the TV Spots we got today. Man Godzilla’s breath really does seem like it’s gotten one hell of an upgrade. I love it!

Onward onto “Monster”:

Starts off with another part of Vera’s speech. Millie Bobby Brown’s character Madison does not seem to agree with what s being said.

“This isn’t the way! You said you were gonna be careful, that you’d restore balance.” Madison is yelling at her mom. This leads me to believe that Vera’s character may have tricked Madison into going along with waking up all of the Titans. Madison probably realized how stupid of an idea this was after Ghidorah has been awakened and is on the way to destroying the world.

Nice shot of Charles Dance looking smug and evil. Vera working for or with him?

Pulled straight from the IMAX sneak peek. Rodan is really channeling his inner Giant Claw in this shot.

Not much in the TV spot “Balance” but let’s take a quick look anyway:

Rodan comes out of his barrel roll. I just screenshot this because he looks awesome.

Brief new glimpse of Ghidorah which I really didn’t think anything of at first. Then I noticed that Ghidorah is missing his left head!

Finally we get a quick shot that definitely takes place during whatever the Mothra Larva shot in the last TV spot was. Note the red lighting.

Well that’s it for these new spots! What did you think about them?

'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' TV Spots 'Run' and 'Beautiful v2' - Highest Quality and Breakdowns

You know who it is! Last night there were a couple of surprise new TV Spots that aired and they actually gave quite a few more quick looks at the film. This is not an April Fools joke I promise.

This one is titled ‘Run’:

And this one is a shortened ‘Beautiful’ TV Spot with a few new shots:

Man Legendary is doing a bang up job showing the scale of this conflict. Unlike the last breakdown where I went through every minute detail of the TV Spot, this time I will be focusing only on the brand new content.

Let’s start off with ‘Run’:

This is the lead up shot to Godzilla firing off his call to arms beam. I love having a Godzilla with personality again.

This is the first shot that was actually part of the exclusive footage shown at Wondercon. Vera Farmiga’s character sets off a series of bombs in the antarctic to awaken Ghidorah. Now why would she want to go and do that?

Madison is running towards the Mothra Larva who doesn’t seem as peaceful as in the other trailers. Looks like something may have upset her (notice that the lighting is very different from every other shot of the Larva).

This is probably one of the best Rodan silhouette shots we have gotten from these trailers and it goes by super fast (hence the image being a bit blurry). We have talked about our love for this design to death but there is no denying how perfect he looks.

So it seems the official number of known titans is seventeen. This matches pretty closely with the amount of locked Monarch sites on the viral marketing website. Wonder how many we will get glimpses of in the film?

The next two shots are from the exclusive Wondercon footage and this one is of Ghidorah awakening. You really get a good look at how long his necks really are in this shot.

Ok so apparently Ghidorah is gonna get all of the amazing wallpaper worthy scenes in the film. Ghidorah seems to be pulling in the electrical energy from all around him and shooting it out of his wing tips. You can spot Godzilla get blasted away by this attack as well. Last thing to note about this is that is definitely Boston so this is from the climax.

So there are a couple of things to notice here. The first and most obvious is the map with all of the Monarch sites flashing on the left. Are all of the Titans waking up? On the right you can see the amazing scene of Ghidorah roaring on the top of the volcano. Little bit of trailer trickery here shows that Rodan is flying around Ghidorah in this trailer. They may be pulling a Marvel and slightly editing some shots to keep us guessing. The trailer implies that this is where Charles Dance’s character says his “Long Live the King!” line. If you recall I called that he was talking about Ghidorah way back in the Trailer 1 breakdown.

Man I love when they show off giant monsters roaring in environments where there are particulates flying around. Really shows the power of the air coming from mouths.

It’s interesting that this shot is flipped from when it showed up back in trailer two. Wonder which one will be in the finished film.

Ladies and gentlemen the Devil with Three Heads. Enough said.

First real scene of the physical battle between Godzilla and Ghidorah. This is the kind of stuff I am most interested to see in this film since there is no longer the motion limitation of suits.

Godzilla seems to really show off his beam in this film after only using it twice in the previous film. Maybe he’s powered up somehow? Or did he not use it in the last film cause he was still a sleepy boy?

A very good freeze frame of the new beam. Gone is the wispy fire from 2014. Now we have a very traditional Millennium/Heisei beam. I kinda liked the more realistic touch of 2014’s breath but just like in the Toho movies as he fights more powerful adversaries, he needs a more powerful attack to stand a chance.

The ‘Beautiful v2’ TV Spot only had three new things :

Another version of the destruction of DC. Ghidorah’s silhouette is way more noticeable in the sky.

We know each head’s facial expression is performed by a different motion capture artist but this is the first really good look at that. Each head has a very distinct expression. The right head looks like it may be maliciously evil, the left seems to be scheming, and the middle of course is the leader of the three. There’s a scary look of intelligence on the middle heads face that is extremely creepy and off putting.

Close up shot of Godzilla marching towards Ghidorah in the climax of the film.

What did you all think of the TV spots? Is there something that I missed in my breakdown?

'Godzilla King of the Monsters' Beautiful TV Spot - Highest Quality and Breakdown

Normally we reserve breakdowns for full length trailers but this TV Spot is a special case. Coming in at a full minute long this is almost a miniature trailer 3 and gives so much new footage that it will make your eyes pop out of your head. Check it out!

So much to unpack in this trailer so let’s just get started:

Rodan! This shot was in the previous TV spot but I didn’t post about that one so let me just say how stunning this is here. Rodan is after that Super X jet thing.

Ghidorah! This shot is from the second trailer and is of Ghidorah awakening in the Antarctic. I still really love the lightning charge effect as it goes up his necks.

Mothra! Of course this is a reused shot from the very first trailer. The CG is definitely more complete this time around and it looks beautiful. This isn’t the last shot from the first trailer used in this TV spot either. I’m actually really digging how they are only really giving brief before and after add ons to scenes we sw in the other trailers. Really keeps the rest of the movie hidden.

Oh my! It took me way longer than I’d like to admit to realize they were making a “Lions, Tigers and Bears! Oh My!” Wizard of Oz reference and that is why ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ is the song in the TV spot. This is Bradley Whitford who is playing a scientist who was described in the set reports as a Rick from ‘Rick and Morty’ type character. not sure how I’ll feel about that by the end but…

Here is that mountain Titan from the second trailer and other TV spot. This is the Titan in Germany as you can see in the bottom left corner. Also there are some rumors that this one is called Methuselah who in biblical history supposedly lived to the age of 969. Very interesting.

Kyle Chandler definitely seems to be shaping up to be the main character of the film. He gets several really good one liners in this TV Spot.

An extension of a shot from the earlier trailers. Ghidorah is looking for something after landing in the Fenway Park stadium in Boston.

Trailer 1 shot with finished CG again. This time it’s much easier to tell that this is in Fenway Park. Looks like he found who he was looking for.

This is the “Oh Shit” shot from the previous trailer but now with context. Madison see’s that Ghidorah has found her and is absolutely not okay with that. I think that this is followed by the shot from the first trailer when Madison is running away from the gravity bolts.

Same shot from trailer two of the scorpion/spider Titan rising in the desert somewhere. I never noticed the Monarch logo on the truck until now.

And now for probably my two favorite shots from the TV Spot. Ghidorah cackles from atop the volcano Rodan popped up from. This shot and the next are so beautiful/wallpaper worthy it is ridiculous. I don’t think I ever in my lifetime would find Ghidorah legitimately terrifying but this movie is proving me wrong.

Love the imagery and symbolism here. Where is your Godzilla now?

Trailer one shot again but now we get to see this from the ground level.

As we say all the time on the cast this is wonderful boots on the ground sequence with the G-Team trying to save some kids from being blown away from Rodan’s passing. Very scary imagery.

Horrified by the destructive power of Rodan.

Our first really good look at Rodan’s face as the military tries to shoot him in it. I’m a huge fan of how they designed his jawline to make it always look like he has an evil grin going on. The ancient civilizations seeing this would have definitely added some demonic lore to his legend just on this fact alone.

Well folks Idon’t think Mothra is getting out of this film alive. Not really surprising since she usually dies in any movie she is in but this pretty much confirms it. We get a really good look at her colors in this shot and she is definitely beautiful.

“Mr. Godzilla, I don’t feel so good…”

Shot of Ghidorah awakening for the first time in the Antarctic. You can see the bits of ice on his tail still and of course the snowstorm kind of givens it away too.

“This time we join him!” Very cool line and it lines up with the very heroic Godzilla the MonsterVerse is going for. I wonder how they are going to explain why Kong and Goji are going to fight since they are pretty much both the good guys in this universe.

Mothra Larva shot from trailer one. Madison really seems like she is going to have a connection to a lot of the Titans.

Mid-air collision of Ghidorah and Rodan incoming. I’m pretty sure this takes place right after the flashing Ghidorah shot and the Rodan jet chase.

While I don’t think Rodan is going to die here I do believe that Ghidorah is going to win this fight very easily.

Actually the next shot shows Rodan having the upper hand. Maybe it won’t be so easy after all.

Godzilla says hello to the tiny humans on the sub. I love the rain pouring off of Godzilla in this shot.

“Excuse me can you point me in the direction of the three-headed dragon?”

Godzilla descends back into the water and we get an amazing look at his new dorsal plates. I liked the 2014 spikes but these just scream Godzilla to me.

Quick look at the rounded tail slapping back into the water as he swims away. This is one of the design changes I am not really a fan of. Godzilla had a rounded tail throughout most of the films but honestly I like the aesthetic of the pointed tail a lot more.

Serizawa gets up close and personal with a presumably injured Godzilla. This is an extention of the Godzilla lair shots from the other trailers.

Is that a practical Godzilla snout? if not that’s some really impressive CG.

Let me tell you about my best friend! The military charges with Godzilla towards the final confrontation with Ghidorah in Boston.

Madison seems to be standing in the destroyed Fenway Park watching Godzilla approach. Did she call him here somehow and accidentally get Ghidorah first? Hmmmm…

This looks like it would be the perfect place for the new Godzilla theme to play.

Surprisingly this is the first shot we have of Godzilla and Ghidorah actually fighting one another. This is Boston again and I love that Mike is continuing Gareth’s trend of showing the monster fights from the human perspective. I’m sure we will still get the big sweeping battle shots but these really ground the film and make the Titans seem huge.

During these last few shots we get the coolest line in the trailer, “This is Godzilla’s world. We just live in it.” That pretty much sums up the theme of this movie that Mike seems to be going for. Humans are no longer the dominant species of planet earth.

Also glad to see the charging effect is back again from 2014. Also something to note is that this shot does not link up with the next as the TV spot would like you to think. This shot is definitely from the Antarctic battle hinted at in the last trailer. Note the snow.

And of course we end on the call to arms shot from trailer one.

And that’s about it folks! We are still expecting one more full trailer to drop before the movie releases so keep an eye out for at least one more breakdown to be on the way. What did you guys think of the new TV spot?

'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' Set Visit Reports -Putting The God Back In Godzilla

So today is a huge day for ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters.’ The embargo has lifted on the set visits and so we are getting articles from all of the big movie sites. We of course were not invited to the set but I figured everyone would like a place to find all of the links to the other sites that were super lucky. Check them out!

Collider interview with Mike Dougherty

Collider set visit report

Toho Kingdom interviews and set report

Comingsoon.net set visit report

JoBlo Set visit report youtube video

IGN Set Visit Report

IGN Inside the Monarch Base video

Bloody Disgusting set visit report

That’s all of them that I have found so far but keep checking back as I will just keep adding links to this article as I find them. There’s so much good information in all of these but keep in mind there are some tiny spoilers involved. Nothing that will ruin the movie for you but if you want to go in blind I would avoid these until after the film releases.

'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' Trailer 2 Breakdown

Yes I know this isn’t from the trailer but man is it cool!

Hello everyone! So one of our new patrons requested that I actually do the breakdown for Trailer 2 even though it is now one month since the release. I of course was thrilled to take another deep look through the trailer and find all of it’s hidden secrets. Let’s dive in!

One of the first shots in the trailer is a bunch of dead fish floating on the surface of the ocean. Since we the know the Oxygen Destroyer is playing some sort of role in the film that would be my guess for the context of this scene.

Crowd running from the giant Rodan after he awakens from the volcano in Mexico. This looks to be one of the more thrilling titan-human interaction sequences in the film. You can really tell Michael Dougherty’s love for our favorite big firey Pteranodon.

This shot is extremely similar to a shot in the first trailer and this is definitely Washington DC being wiped out. The first trailer showed Rodan flying around but in this trailer you can clearly see Ghidorah up in the clouds. Could they be teaming up in some way or are they fighting eachother and wrecking DC in the process? Also this shot seems to be from inside of some sort of aircraft (maybe the big bomber looking super X plane).

Very cool shot of Rodan emerging from the volcano! I’m guessing this scene takes place right after the explosion from the first trailer.

Here we have the Antarctic base where Ghidorah is sleeping. Keep this shot and this plane in mind for a couple of interesting edits later in the trailer.

Ah yes this is the first big surprise of the trailer, some sort of scorpion/spider Titan popping up out of the ground. Mike Dougherty has spoken several times about there being a few other creatures in the film but I really didn’t think we’d get a good look at any of them in the trailers. Lot’s of people have speculated that this might be a cameo of the Toho kaiju Kumonga but I really doubt that. Weider things have happened I suppose but fans shouldn’t get there hopes up.

Thomas Middleditch, who has been described as the liason between Monarch and the US government is giving a speech to the supreme court about the new Titan’s being discovered and the threat they pose. You can see the back of the heads of a couple of returning characters here as well but we’ll talk about them in a second.

Rodan taking flight for the first time after waking up. You get a really good look at his face within the smoke here but the most interesting thing here is the big super X bomber plane flying away. Is this Monarch’s plane or somebody else’s?

Mountains move in the Monsterverse! All kidding aside this is the second monster in the trailer that we had absolutely no idea about until now. Fans are screaming that it’s Anguirus or Baragon but I’m sticking to my theory that this is another original Titan. Mike Dougherty mentioned designing some new monsters in an interview back in the day.

Another look at the underwater city from the first trailer. There seems to be some sort of lava flow at the bottom.

Godzilla stares back from the ocean depths while his dorsal plates light up. We have seen this scene before but you cannot deny the beauty of this scene. This movie has already won me over with it’s cinematography but it’s great that I keep getting little treats like this shot.

Mothra Larvae full body shot! I love the look of the larval form and how it has color similarities to the adult form we see later in the trailer. The color blue is being used for every shot of the '“good” monsters and I love it.

Adult Mothra showing off her “God Rays” to a human. I think this may be Kyle Chandler’s character but that’s just a hunch.

Rodan flying over Mexico and his shock wave causes the poor humans to go flying in his wake. I love how his silhouette here is quintessential Rodan. Like If you showed me this image with no context I would assume this was a screenshot straight from a Toho film. Beautiful design work!

NOT THE DUNKIN’ DONUTS! GHIDORAH DO YOU HAVE NO SHAME!? Seriously though what is with these movies and their donut partnerships. First Krispy Kreme in Power Rangers and now…

Ghidorah’s big old spikey tail comes swinging by the camera. I love this shot because it mirrors the Godzilla reveal shot from the first trailer for Godzilla (2014). Very cool. This definitely takes place in Boston at Fenway Park which is important to know because the location changes in the next shot.

And now we are back in the Antarctic to get our first full body shot of the king of terror himself! Remember how I told you to pay attention to the Plane landing at the base? Well here it is on the ground in front of Ghidorah. Also there is one heck of a snowstorm going on!

CCH Pounder is in this movie?! She voiced Amanda Waller back in the old DC shows and is a great actress.

Tom’s character looks super nervous here after CCH Pounder made her little pet remark. I’m guessing it’s because his boss is sitting right behind him.

Admiral William Stenz is back baby! It’s really great to see a few characters from 2014 returning to keep continuity.

Ken Watanabe always gets the greatest lines!

Godzilla isn’t looking so good here. I’m guessing this is in the underwater temple due to the lava flow and clearly the man in the suit is Dr. Serizawa. In the first trailer we saw him walking dramatically up some steps with lava all around him. Looks like he was going to visit a not so healthy Godzilla.

Oh look another human/Godzilla connection scene. I wasn’t super sold on the scene in 2014 with Ford but this looks to be between Godzilla and Serizawa which actually is pretty poignant. I’m not sure of the exact context but this could be an interesting twist on the Godzilla/Serizawa relationship from 1954 Godzilla.

I don’t think Madison saying “Do you think he’ll be ok?” is referencing Godzilla here. Maybe her dad? The person she is speaking to might be her mom.

Man when Godzilla wants to move he can move! He seems to have gotten tired of the humans looking at him from the sub.

Madison and some scientists looking over a railing in the Temple of the Moth. How do we know where they are you ask? Well in the background there is a very familiar mural…

The devil has three heads indeed! Jesus this Ghidorah can pull off some nightmare fuel expressions.

Something falls from the upper atmosphere with the telltale golden lightning and storm that say Ghidorah is nearby. Is he falling though?

Wait is that a single tail? Oh my god I think that may be Godzilla!

Rodan shows off his speed by catching up to a jet.

Wow look at her! Unlike the S.h. Monsterarts figure we really get a good look at her bright vibrant colors. Also she’s definitely got some fighting arms as Michael Dougherty talked about. I like it!

So it looks like she may be having an aerial battle with Rodan in this sequence. Look at the fire in the background behind her.

So this is clearly right after the sequence where Ghidorah wakes up. Godzilla must show up right away since the plane that was in front of Ghidorah earlier is still there. Also geeze the size difference is amazing to see. A lot of fans have also noticed that this also may be Dougherty playing a little fan service since it almost exactly mirrors a shot from the Heisei Godzilla Vs King Ghidorah.

Man this really shows off how amazing the CGI is in this film. On the top right you can see Godzilla has a large chunk of skin missing over his left eye. I’m pretty sure this is from the very end of the film after the big battle since he didn’t have this battle damage in the shot with Serizawa.

While Ghidorah is charging up his Gravity beams you get a good glance at the level of facial expressiveness we should expect from him.

GRAVITY BEAM!

So here we have the aftermath of the big explosion from the last trailer. There looks like there is a ton debris including some ship remains getting blasted away.

Look at those fuzzy Moth antenna!

The face of Legendary Mothra might be slimmed down from her Toho counterparts but she still looks extremely recognizable. Her wings look like they glow blue when she is on the attack.

Ok well it looks like the Super X bomber plane crashes hard at some point. This looks like the antarctic but I’m not actually sure since we see the ship flying towards Ghidorah while he’s flying.

Can we talk about how stupid it is that the military continues to use TINY RIFLES to attack the CITY SIZED TITANS? No? Is it just me??

Great look at Rodan’s full design! He’s chasing after the Super X bomber and is about to get his big trailer moment. I love the beak that is so razor sharp that it almost forms teeth.

Godzilla continues his roar from the first trailer and begins his charge towards his rival alpha predator Ghidorah. He breaks into a full blown run which some find strange looking but I personally think it shows that Godzilla is taking this seriously now.

There’s a really cool visual cue that I don’t think people have picked up on in the last moments of the trailer. The lightning coming from the sky behind Godzilla is always blue and the lightning behind ghidorah is always yellow.

Ghidorah using his wings to propel himself towards Godzilla. I don’t think he will spend that much time in this position but he still looks super menacing.

There’s that yellow lightning I was talking about. Love that visual flare.

And of course the trailer ends on a big clash in Boston which takes place in the climax of the film.

And there we go! Wait whats that? You say I skipped a part of the trailer? Hmmm oh! You must be talking about how there’s a huge spoiler that was revealed by a toy in the trailer. Fans are being extremely rabid when it comes to possible spoilers for this film, so if you care about that sort of thing then stop reading the article here. But if you don’t care-

Well fans what we see here in these two trailer shots is definitely our first glance at Burning/Fire Legendary Goji. When the trailer first came out some fans misindentified this as being Rodan but if you look clase enough you can Godzilla’s big clawed hand moving behind the building that is melting/burning. I’m pretty sure this form is how Godzilla is going to defeat Ghidorah but what I’m not sure if this is a temporary power-up or something that may come back to haunt Goji in the future. Only time will tell!

And that’s the full breakdown for trailer 2! Sorry it took so long once again but now we have only 4 moths until the film releases. It’s almost here everyone!

Did I miss something in the trailer? How pumped are you for King of the Monsters? Let us know in the comments!

'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' Trailer 2 - A Rival Alpha to Godzilla

Here we go folks! Get ready for some Titan action! Check out the brand new trailer for ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’!

So much to unpack in this trailer! One things for sure, they definitely aren’t hiding the monsters this time around. I will be posting a full trailer breakdown tomorrow as always but for now let’s just enjoy the beautiful shots in this new trailer! What did you guys think of the new trailer?

'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' - Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah Revealed!

Well this was certainly an eventful evening. The big ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ panel just happened at Tokyo Comic Con and we got way more stuff than we ever could have imagined. Check out all of the images!

First up we got a look at the new S.H. Monsterarts figure for the 2019 Godzilla design and you can really spot all the differences! His tail is rounded at the tip and his spines are now heavily inspired by the G’54 spikes.

Next they showed us some concept art of Mothra.

Wow look at the colored callback to the original design! The red dots on her wings were described as an evolutionary advantage, they are meant to camouflage her and look like Goji’s eyes. Very cool stuff!

Next up is a good look at an early concept design of Rodan! They got rid of the feathers in the final design that we’ll see in a second but man is he a beaut.

The cover image and this were the only things shown of Ghidorah so I really thought they were gonna hide his design till the release but these weren’t all the goodies the night had in store for us. S.H. Monsterarts got permission to show off their toys based on the designs for the movie so strap in folks!

Here he is folks and he looks better than my wildest dreams could have imagined him. He looks so demonic and threatening truly the devil has three heads.

A very interesting detail that someone on twitter pointed out is the back of Ghidorah looks alot like this really famous artist rendition of Satan as described in Dante’s Inferno.

Next up we got a look at the Mothra figure.

I’m not a huge fan of this new design in toy form but the concept art from earlier was amazing so I’m going to have to reserve my final judgement until we see this design in motion. The final of the big 4 is very impressive.

I’m gonna say it, I think this is my favorite Rodan design of all time! I love the magma texture on the wings! His armored plate like design is so freaking cool. So There were a few more things that got shown. Just like in 2014, Legendary commissioned a 3 meter tall statue of the king. and this thing really shows off the majesty of 2019 Godzilla.

One of the coolest things to note here (other than the better look at his new dorsal spike design) is that they seem to have adjusted his feet design a bit, giving him actual spread out toes unlike the 2014 elephantine feet. Last but not least we also got a quick tease of the updated Godzilla theme.

途中からだけど…。

Bear McCreary really knocked it out of the park! Also the Mothra theme is supposed to be in the film as well! Finally they showed a quick teaser of the full trailer that we are getting NEXT WEEK! Mark your calendars folks!

What do you think of all the big reveals from Tokyo Comic Con?

Special shout out to Gormaru island for wrangling up most of the images you see here!

Godzilla: Aftershock comic - Everything We Know So Far

I leave for one weekend and it happens to be the weekend we get a bunch of details about the prequel comic to ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’. Go figure! Since I’m so late to the party here I decided to collect everything we know about the comic up to this point, including the leaked images from the panel at LA Comic Con on Saturday. Check it all out!

The first info dump of news occured on friday last week with an exclusive article by Nerdist. We got a glance at and ancient painting of our lovely Legendary Godzilla being worshiped by an ancient civilization which is super cool. In the article we also got a much better idea of what the comic will be about:

The brilliant and driven Monarch operative Dr. Emma Russell races to stop the threat as clues emerge to reveal a terrible secret—a tragedy, of apocalyptic proportions from the distant past that changed the course of human history, is returning to threaten it once more. A shadowy figure stalks Emma’s every move as she travels the globe to uncover secrets, while Godzilla clashes in an ancient rivalry as old as the earth itself. The fate of the world lies in the balance in an epic confrontation that no Godzilla fan will want to miss.

Godzilla: Aftershock is written by Arvid Nelson and illustrated by Drew Edward Johnson and takes place after the first film’s cataclysmic events in San Francisco. A new threat is rising, bringing with it devastating earthquakes, and possessing an unstoppable urge to destroy.

“Godzilla: Aftershock is yet another exhilarating entry into the canon of the MonsterVerse, and it is especially exciting to introduce fans to a brand new original monster unique to the comic, but true to the legacy of Godzilla,” said Robert Napton, Senior Vice President of Legendary Comics.

Looks like the primary human character of the comic will be Emma Russel played by Vera Farmiga in the 2019 film. Hopefully along with the new threat we will get some more teases of our big three (Rodan, Mothra, and Ghidorah). If only we could get a glance of this new kaiju…

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!

The Mega-MUTO has arrived! Not quite sure exactly what this creature is but it seems to have a lot in common with the female MUTO from 2014 but there may not be a direct relation. There also is a bit of Orga in the design with the big old slappy hands.

I’m pretty sure the orange on it’s body is some sort of magma which matches the rockiness of the rest of the design and the earthquakes hinted at in the plot description.

Some people have pointed out that appears that they are pulling from some of the unused MUTO concepts from 2014 which is very very cool.

The Art of the Comic

Last but not least let’s take a look at the actual art. Unlike Godzilla: Awakening (don’t worry we’ll cover that monstrosity on the cast at some point) it appear that they will be sticking much closer to the actual film design of Godzilla and the art looks like it’ll be on the same level as the Kong: Skull Island sequel comic, Skull Island: The Birth of Kong.

The level of detail on the Titan and Godzilla are top notch and I can’t wait to get my hands on this comic.

The comic is set for a Spring 2019 release which probably will set it comfortably right before KotM hits theaters. Are you excited to read the new comic?

'Godzilla: The Planet Eater' Trailer 1 - That's a Long Snakey Boy!

Well it’s about time! After a few good glances at the movie via a poster and some quick snippits of footage shown to promote a film festival, we finally have our first full look at the third Godzilla anime film. Check it out!

Ghidorah’s ethereal glow is really visually appealing and the long snake like heads are very visually different from any Ghidorah we’ve seen in the past. He also seems to be able to change his density in some way since we see Ghidorah bite Godzilla but Godzilla’s hand passes right through it.

People worried that Ghidorah and Godzilla aren’t going to fight at all should be put at ease by this trailer. Also we do get a glimpse of Ghidorah having some sort of traditional body.

What do you guys think of the trailer? Are you excited to see the conclusion to the trilogy?
