'Pacific Rim: Uprising' - Plot Synopsis and First Look at New Kaiju!
Well looks like we are gearing up for a great New York Comic Con! Ahead of the official trailer release on friday at the Con, Legendary has started up the viral marketing machine and also given us a great plot breakdown. Check it out!
Well looks like we are gearing up for a great New York Comic Con! Ahead of the official trailer release on friday at the Con, Legendary has started up the viral marketing machine and also given us a great plot synopsis. Check it out!
First up let's talk about the plot breakdown! So it turns out they decided to confirm a returning character and also give us a better idea of John Boyega's character. This is the type of synopsis you would see on imdb page so don't worry about spoilers.
The globe-spanning conflict between otherworldly monsters of mass destruction and the human-piloted super-machines built to vanquish them was only a prelude to the all-out assault on humanity in Pacific Rim Uprising.
John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to secure humanity’s victory against the monstrous “Kaiju.” Jake has since abandoned his training only to become caught up in a criminal underworld. But when an even more unstoppable threat is unleashed to tear through our cities and bring the world to its knees, he is given one last chance to live up to his father’s legacy by his estranged sister, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi)—who is leading a brave new generation of pilots that have grown up in the shadow of war. As they seek justice for the fallen, their only hope is to unite together in a global uprising against the forces of extinction.
Jake is joined by gifted rival pilot Lambert (The Fate of the Furious’ Scott Eastwood) and 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara (newcomer Cailee Spaeny), as the heroes of the PPDC become the only family he has left. Rising up to become the most powerful defense force to ever walk the earth, they will set course for a spectacular all-new adventure on a towering scale.
Pacific Rim Uprising is directed by Steven S. DeKnight (Netflix’s Daredevil, STARZ’s Spartacus) and also stars Jing Tian, Burn Gorman, Adria Arjona and Charlie Day.
Mako's back!! Also they really seem to be building up the new Kaiju to be huge and "unstoppable." Speaking of Kaiju...
The viral marketing site gojaeger.com updated earlier today with a keypad asking for a passcode. Intrepid investigators on the web figured out that if you type in the numbers 65*789 it will make sounds that line up with the main theme song of the original film. The locked page reveals itself to be a countdown to the release of the trailer on friday but there are three surprises hidden in the countdown if you wait long enough. Brief glitchy pictures of Kaiju come through and oh boy are they cool!
Also we talked about the posters on the cast but I realized that we never actually posted them for all of you to see (in case you missed them).
What do you guys think about all of this? Look forward to us talking about the new trailer as soon as it available on friday afternoon!
Tokyo Destroyed?!?! - Episode 29 Delayed And Changed!
Hello everyone! Today I bring some sad news, as it seems an unruly Mothra larva chewed on our audio cables and ruined the recently recorded episode of Tokyo Lives. Godzilla seems to be wrangling the insect but that means we are gonna have to change some things around.
Hello everyone! Today I bring some sad news, as it seems an unruly Mothra larva chewed on our audio cables and ruined the recently recorded episode of Tokyo Lives. Godzilla seems to be wrangling the insect but that means we are gonna have to change some things around.
We have figured out the technical issues that plagued our recording and instead of trying to retread the episode we just recorded we are going to push forward and just record the next episode of Tokyo Lives this week! Time for us to talk about 'Gamera 2: Attack of Legion'!
Sorry that we are changing things up like this but we really don't want to try to recapture the magic of that first recording and give you guys a subpar episode. Look forward to us talking about Godzilla and Mothra at a later date but for now it's time to check in on that crazy terrapin kaiju we all love. See you early next week!
Kaiju Incoming Contest!
Help! The Tokyo Lives office is practically overrun with Kaiju and I need your help identifying them all so we can deal with them!
Hello fellow Kaijuologists! It’s me, your favorite internet best friend, Rob.
I need to ask you all a favor. See, it looks like the Tokyo Lives office is practically overrun with Kaiju and I need your help identifying them all so we can deal with them.
Here’s how this is going to play out. Starting this October I’m going to post a silhouette of one of the rampaging Kaiju on our Twitter page every Monday. The following Friday we will remove the silhouette and find out which brave kaijuologists were correct.
To show our appreciation for the help, the kaijuologists who correctly identify these kaiju will get a private message on Twitter to vote on one of three films for us to review during our upcoming FAN MONTH!!! (And, of course, a personal thanks from me on the cast)
What's Fan Month you ask? Well, we will be letting you all decide one of the movies we will be covering coming up in January! The other film will be decided on by our beloved patrons over at Our Patreon!
Incoming Natural Disaster - Tokyo Lives Episode 27 Delayed!
Hey everyone! In case you haven't noticed Texas is about to be invaded by a real life Kaiju! His name is Harvey and he is a catagory 4. Summon the Jaegers!
Hey everyone! In case you haven't noticed Texas is about to be invaded by a real life Kaiju! His name is Harvey and he is a catagory 4! Summon the Jaegers!
So the largest hurricane in the last 40 years is about to make landafall in Texas and even though we do not live on the coast this massive storm is going to cause major flooding in our area as well. Due to this we had to postpone our recording session for G84 Vs G85 one whole week. What does that mean for you guys? Well you lucky dogs are gonna get 3 episodes in September! Isn't that swell!
Wish us luck!

Man there is a ton of new footage to dissect in this trailer! Lot's of cool shots of the new Godzilla design in motion. I'm still not 100% sold on the movement of the characters and Goji's design in general but these are definitely still small complaints that may change when watching the film as a whole. We also got a new poster!
I really like the earthy colors Godzilla has in the back. It makes him look like a literal walking mountain which fits the plot description we got a while back.
What do you guys think of the trailer?
SDCC '17 News Round Up: Godzilla, Kong, and Pacific Rim!
Hello everyone! San Diego Comic-Con 2017 got started yesterday and while we haven't gotten our big Hall H panel which may reveal some Monsterverse goodies (keep an eye on the site on Saturday) we have been given quite a few cool Giant Monster things from the show floor and beyond. This includes several toy/collectible announcements, a "Kong: Skull Island experience", and of course a bunch of Pacific Rim: Uprising details including a short teaser trailer.

'Pacific Rim: Uprising' Teaser Trailer and Viral Site launched!
It was announced via the director's twitter account a couple days ago that we would not be getting a full trailer for 'Pacific Rim: Uprising' at Comic-Con due to the film not being in a state that it is ready to show off footage but what he didn't say is that we would be getting a lot of new info. First gift we received is a recruitment style video for the Jaeger program that shows off some of the new Jaegers and our first footage of John Boyega as Pentecost's son Jake.
The viral marketing site gojaeger.com was launched alongside the trailer and it includes some intriguing details on all of the new Jaegers. Check each of them out below.
GIPSY AVENGER
Gipsy Avenger honors the heroic legacy of her namesake as the flagship leader of the Mark VI fleet. More than just a Jaeger, she is a symbol of hope to millions.
BRACER PHOENIX
A Mark V brute that can still run with the VI’s, Bracer Phoenix shoots from the chest, with a centrifugal vortex cannon that is as spectacular as it is deadly.
SABER ATHENA
The sleekest and most elegant Jaeger ever created, Saber Athena is the fastest in the fleet, wielding twin blades in hyper-acrobatic combat.
TITAN REDEEMER
Built for brute force and armed with a seismic morningstar, Titan Redeemer is the walking wrecking ball of the new fleet.
GUARDIAN BRAVO
Designed for combat at range, Guardian Bravo wields the Elec-16 Arc Whip: a proto-metallic successor to the chainsword, and brings a new sophistication to the chainsword’s whiplash move.
'Kong: Skull Island' Experience
There is a really interesting walk through experience happening with Kong at the convention as well. Now there aren't many details about this as of yet but it does seem like it is similar to the Godzilla experience back at 2013's Comic-Con (maybe not on the same scale but still). No footage of this exists as of yet but it looks like Legendary has hidden Monarch crates and stuff within the experience and if enough photos get uploaded a "classified" photo will be released to the public. Now this photo could be anything from hints to Godzilla 2 or just some nifty Skull Island goodies but it is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
'Godzilla Vs Kong' Director Talks!
Adam Wingard, the director of Godzilla Vs Kong, gave a few details about the upcoming film in a couple of recent interviews for Death Note. IGN and Birth Movies Death have the scoops, but here are some notable quotes:
"It's been a pleasure already in the first stages of it, having an excuse to go back and watch 30 Godzilla movies and justifying it to yourself. For me, it's about taking the series to the next level."
When asked about the similarities in the way both the monster films as well as Death Note deal in shades of grey, Wingard continued, "I think they're very similar in a lot of ways. It's easy to demonize Godzilla on one hand, but I have a lot of emotional attachment to both monsters." In regards to the size difference between the two beasts, Wingard added, "They gave us a good out in Kong when they mentioned that Kong is still growing, but that'll be a challenge we have to deal with, and we're very aware of that issue." - IGN
“It’s funny—the day I had my first meeting scheduled with Terry Rossio, the writer on Godzilla vs. Kong, was the day it was announced that Lord and Miller got fired, so that was kind of an eye-opening moment,” Wingard says. “I mean, you hear—especially within the industry—a lot of rumors about directors who have silently been replaced, or the movies have been reshot by other directors because the producers were unhappy with them, and things like that. But firing them was a completely different situation.
“Ultimately, I don’t think it affects me that much,” he continues. “The most important thing when you’re making this type of film is that it’s not about pushing against authority; it’s about everybody getting on the same page. When you’re doing anything that involves a lot of money, it should not be an ‘us vs. them’ kind of thing, and as soon as you start treating it that way, it becomes that way. But as long as you’re open to ideas when they come—and sometimes they’re good and sometimes you have to push back—it’s just about being able to communicate.”
On Death Note, which had many producers and a lot of oversight on it, I felt like I was 100 percent able to make the movie I wanted to make,” he states. “The reason for that was because I was able to communicate with everybody involved, and we were all making the same film, you know? That’s the most important factor.”
He also sheds some light on the Godzilla vs. Kong scripting process, which involved a “writers’ room” consisting of Patrick McKay, J.D. Payne, Lindsey Beer, Cat Vasko, T.S. Nowlin, Jack Paglen and J. Michael Straczynski. “Terry ran the writers’ room,” Wingard explains, “so he’s the personification of it, and everything we’re working on is first and foremost based on the outline they created there. We’re going in very great detail through all the characters, the arcs they have, how they relate to one another, and most importantly how they relate to the monsters, and how the monsters relate to them or reflect them. We’re also going beat by beat on the outline, because I have things that I want to add.
“So once again, it’s a discussion, and about feeling out how to make it as strong as possible, so that when Terry goes to write the screenplay, he has a definitive breakdown of what to include. He’s not the type of guy who wants to be handed a bunch of problems to solve, you know? He wants to be able to have a good creative flow based on an outline that works.” - BirthMoviesDeath
New Company Providing Godzilla and Kong Collectibles!
Chronicle collectibles has gotten the license to produce high quality statues of the Monsterverse! This company does really good work but their items are a little pricey. Check out the T-rex and Indominus Rex they are releasing!
Look how cool they look! I expect great things from their Monsterverse line when they reveal them!
This is a crazy time for us giant monster fans and I hope to see a lot more goodies on Saturday during the Warner Bros./Legendary Hall H presentation!
'Godzilla: Monster Planet' Teaser Trailer Released!
Man what a great day to wake up to the highly anticipated teaser trailer for the Godzilla Anime! I knew we were getting one soon-ish but I never expected that it would come out of nowhere like this. Well what are you waiting for? Check it out below!

Wow! So I am not a huge fan of the fully CG anime style but it looks like the animation will look great when dealing with the monsters and such. Maybe it will be a bit jittery when it comes down to the human stuff but what see here in this 30 second teaser shows some promise. Also there is this guy:
Who also has a name!
Servum looks like he is going to be the smaller Kaiju that our space faring humans are going to deal with. He's pretty much just a wyvern but he does have multiple eyes which may suggest an alien origin.
UPDATE 8:53 am - Looks like Servum is actually a subspecies of Godzilla himself! Check out the official press release!
World first! Breaking news! Godzilla himself finally revealed!
A roar that shakes the Earth still, 20,000 years in the future!
2016 saw the release of the no. 1 box office smash hit live action film, Shin Godzilla (directed by Hideaki Anno). This grounded portrayal captured the hearts of audiences, and has been honored with seven prizes at the 40th Japan Academy Awards, including Picture of the Year.
The next step in the Godzilla franchise will be the release this November of Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters. This landmark year in which Japan celebrates the 100th anniversary of the release of its first animated film will also finally herald the first time in history that the challenge has been undertaken to adapt Godzilla into an animated feature.
An advance teaser trailer is now available on the web, ahead of being also shown in cinemas starting from Saturday, July 8.
Starting with the words "1 year on from Shin Godzilla..", the trailer shows the protagonist, Haruo (Mamoru Miyano), as he gazes down intensely at the beautiful blue Earth below from the returned emigration ship, a number of landing craft descending toward the surface itself, crew members preparing themselves for battle, as well as what seems to be a flashback to a fierce fight between armed humans and a previously unknown monster—the Servum, which has now proliferated over the surface of the planet.
Then, in the final shot, what appears to be the colossal form of Godzilla himself, with his signature roar! In the face of this fearsome presence, to which the response can only rightly be "despair", can humanity truly prevail?
Watch it here: https://youtu.be/1dF83zsTIMQ
Bestiary
Servum
A sub-species of Godzilla discovered by the Earth landing party, given the name "Servum".
Cellular analysis shows a 97% similarity to Godzilla, when compared to data collected during a nuclear attack on that beast in 2032, before the escape from Earth.
Like Godzilla, it has extremely metal-like body tissue, but despite this can generate a strong electromagnetic charge.
Two varieties of Servum have been observed, the flying type, and another worm-like kind which burrows in the ground. The flying type prey on the worm type, and the worm type preys on further smaller types, creating a food chain.
Introduction
Ever since it was first released as a feature film in 1954, Godzilla has come to be a colossal cultural icon loved by millions around the world. 2016 saw the release of Shin Godzilla, directed by Hideaki Anno. This grounded depiction of the iconic monster story captured audiences and became a huge hit. Now in 2017, Godzilla continues to surprise with this evolution into a feature-length animated film.
This animated movie takes the franchise into uncharted territory; mankind's fateful confrontation to retake their planet in a distant future where Godzilla has dominated the Earth for 20,000 years.
Directing is Kobun Shizuno, whose theatrical release of Detective Conan: The Darkest Nightmare last year achieved the highest box office success yet for that famed franchise. He is joined by another proven talent on the cutting edge of computer graphics, Hiroyuki Seshita, director and supervising director of Knights of Sidonia: Battle for Planet Nine and Ajin:Demi-Human. Penning both the story and screenplay is Gen Urobuchi of Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Psycho-Pass, a writer known to his large and loyal fan base as a master of meticulous and unpredictable storytelling laced with powerful ideas. Finally, handling the production is 3-consecutive Emmy award winning Japanese 3DCG animation studio, Polygon Pictures, which produced Knights of Sidonia, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars for U.S. television and earning Outstanding Special Class Animated Program at the 40th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards. Prepare for the earth-shattering roar of a brand new Godzilla, unlike anything heard or seen before!
Story
The final summer of the 20th century… when mankind learns it is no longer the sole ruler of planet Earth.
The planet is beset by the emergence of colossal creatures that roam the Earth, and king among them is "Godzilla". For a half a century, these beasts engage in ferocious battle with each other and mankind. Ultimately humanity, unable to compete, prepares for exile from its home planet. In the year 2048, a select few humans are chosen by the central government's artificial intelligence to set out on an interstellar emigration vessel, the Aratrum, on an 11.9-light-year journey for the planet Tau Ceti e. But when they arrive after 20 years of space travel, the remnants of mankind find the environmental conditions on Tau-e to be much worse than expected, and uninhabitable by humans.
On board the vessel is a young man, Haruo. When he was four years old, he saw his parents killed by Godzilla before his eyes, and in the 20 years since he has thought about nothing but returning to Earth and defeating Godzilla. With their chance for escape to another world closed, and living conditions on the ship deteriorating, Haruo spearheads a movement to return to Earth despite the dangers of such a long return trip.
Somehow, the Aratrum makes the return journey in one piece, but the home they return to has become an alien planet. 20,000 years have elapsed, and a new ecosystem has emerged with Godzilla at its apex. Can mankind take back its native planet? Will Haruo get his revenge?
Well are you excited? I know I am!
Cameron's Top and Bottom 3 Godzilla Suits
So, Kyle said I couldn’t pick Gabara for every slot, but after three rewrites I’ve finally got an article we can all be proud of. These are in no particular order, just a freestyle listicle. Like Jazz! I know you’ve all been worrying about what I think about specific suits from the franchise since you first heard my completely unremarkable voice, so here we go.

Like Jazz! I know you’ve all been worrying about what I think about specific suits from the franchise since you first heard my completely unremarkable voice, so here we go.
The Worst!
1. Final Goji
Look at him. Just a little hint of a goiter.
I actually don’t hate the design so much. He’s not my favorite, but he checks a lot of my boxes. He’s got ears, big exaggerated fins, he’s reasonably fearsome. But the movie was just not nearly as awesome as it should have been and it kinda put a bad taste in my mouth as far as the suit design. This Goji fought almost everyone (sorry Varan) and had the super cool curly-fry atomic beam, but every fight was so blink-and-you’ll-miss-it, and I don’t care about the suit because I’m petty and I want to hurt the directors feelings a little bit. So...take that, Kitamura!
2. Daisenso Goji
Oh dear...
What is that? What happened to him? He was in two films? Alongside the illustrious and legendary Ebirah? Who's responsible for this? Who did this? Why was I not consulted? Did you not get my letters, Toho? Did I not sent you every number with which you could reach me? I didn’t. But I would.
Not now Goji
3. 84 Goji
Old new goji
This, ladies and germs, is what they chose to reboot the franchise. I really like ‘84, it was one of the first Godzilla movies I ever saw, and I love the return to a scary Goji. But his eyes. His eyes! He looks so exasperated. He looks like someone showed him the script to Transformers 16: Back to School, where Optimus Prime has to go undercover as a 16-year-old and falls in love with his math teacher.
The Best!
1. RadoGoji
Yes yes YES!!!
Look at him! Massive! Powerful! Big Boy! He’s a big 80’s wrestler! With a winning smile!
He makes me feel like I can do anything.
2. KinGoji
A true classic. Like Casablanca, or Weekend at Bernies.
He’s got a pointy head and fingers that stick together, and he’s physically incapable of looking forward with his little eyes, but he’s such a charming boy!
He likes hugs!
And Friendship!
3. Sokogeki Goji
War-is-Hell Goji
Scariest Goji. He’s basically a Dark Souls boss. This Goji’s made of tormented souls and hatred because Toho wanted to make anti-Mothra, and if you don't love that I don't know how to make you happy. He also let Ghidorah play the hero! That’s important for all the three-headed kids out there.
Well...he tried.
Honorable Mention:
Love It? Hate It? Love me? Leave your number in the comments and I’ll be in touch.
'Godzilla 2' - Filming Begins Today! Possible Title Change?!
Well fellow Giant Monster fans the day has finally come! 'Godzilla 2' begins filming today out in Atlanta and the production was officially announced via a press release. Not only do we get our first plot description but we also may have some trouble brewing with the title that Michael Dougherty and Legendary have been running with for awhile now.
Well fellow Giant Monster fans the day has finally come! 'Godzilla 2' begins filming today out in Atlanta and the production was officially announced via a press release. Not only do we get our first plot description but we also may have some trouble brewing with the title that Michael Dougherty and Legendary have been running with for awhile now.
Check out the press release in its entirety:
Looks like we've got a reimagining of 'Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster' after all! The plot description doesn't really give too much away but it does 100% confirm that Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah will all be appearing in the Godzilla sequel and none of them will be saved for 'Godzilla vs Kong.' It sounds like we are in for one heck of a monster bash come March 2019.
Several news sites noticed that the press release does not refer to the film by the previously announced title King of the Monsters and one of them reached out to Legendary/Warner Bros. to get some clarification as to what it all means. Jeff Sneider from The Tracking Board sent out the following tweet:
This is very odd since we have had several casting announcements that have used the title King of the Monsters and the director himself has confirmed the title on multiple occasions. In fact his official twitter page still has him listed as the director of 'Godzilla: King of the Monsters.' I'm honestly not sure what to think of all this new title stuff. Hopefully we get some sort of official information sooner rather than later.
What do you think of the plot description? Do you think they really changed the title? What would you like it to be called if they did?
Marisa's Top and Bottom 3 Godzilla Designs
I held off as long as I could, but it is finally time for me to unleash my opinion upon you, the fans. Yes, that’s right. This article is all about my top and bottom 3 Godzilla designs. I am prepared for the backlash, the hate mail, the lost followers! But I’m entitled to my feelings.

Let’s dive right in, starting with the worst.
The Worst
3. GyakshuGoji
If I am being completely honest here, the only thing that I do not like about this suit is the two oversized fins that look so out of place. There’s a third large fin that looks… broken? They just don’t seem ‘natural’ and don’t blend very well with the others on the back. For me it distracts from the entire suit. I can’t seem to retract my gaze from these giant, protruding fins. It forces me, as the audience member, to think of reasons the fins are so large, but the monster itself so thin. How does this work? Why is it like this? I wish I could explain why it bothers me so much. By and far, this is not the worst suit, but it is so visually distracting to me, and that earned it the #3 spot on my worst list.
2. Megalon Goji
What am I looking at? This strange, ape-faced lizard monster is the stuff of childish nightmares. The scaling they tried on this suit looks more like nasty, matted fur. This design is so kid-friendly I don’t even understand why they bother to make him roar in the movies he’s in it’s so hilariously bad.
There is nothing threatening about this monster, other than it’s size. It’s… pathetic. However it does make me smile, albeit in a ‘what am I doing with my life that has me looking at this terrible thing’ kind of way.
1. MusukoGoji
This was a seat of some contention, while I am the type of person that can find something wrong with EVERY Godzilla design. But I had to go with a fan favorite. What can be said about this frog-faced, pebble-skinned monstrosity? It’s just… so… bad. I respect the people who design and build these suits, I really do, but what were they thinking here? This face doesn’t even look like a lizard or a reptile… it’s disturbingly human and yet they eyes are so empty and lifeless.
Just… just go away MusukoGoji! Don’t haunt me anymore!
Now it's time for my favorites!
The Best
3. BatoGoji
I really like this design. There’s this classic Godzilla feel to it, but it’s still menacing. The face is a bit dog-like, with his tiny ears in the back, and the rounded snout, but it flows well into the neck.
The combination of skin and bone on the spines is something I didn’t expect to find so attractive, but it works really well on this design. I love this Godzilla’s hour-glass figure, because representation matters and the chunky looking Gojis tend to be the grossest ones as well. They managed to do the classic pebbling on this suit without it looking like matted fur (see Megalon Goji), and it all just works really well.
2. BioGoji
I only managed to find one design I liked better than this one, and that was tough enough. The head is angular, and actually-finally-thankfully well-proportioned in regards to the body! The spines have that blend of bone and skin, they are sized correctly for their position, and they have this intriguing clumping that none of the other designs had. This Godzilla is also chunky, it’s got large thighs, needed to support its massive weight, and a broad chest
Overall it has a well-balanced look to it that is new and classic combined. The only thing that kept this design from being my number one pick was the sagging. It doesn’t sit very well and in a lot of stills it looks like Godzilla has some ill-fitting pants on.
1. MireGoji
I know how awful this design is in practice, but I cannot deny how awesome it looks. The jagged spines, coupled with the sharp, angular scales, and the angularity of the snout made for a pretty terrifying Godzilla. However even I can point out that, though this is one of my favorite designs, it looks dumb with the mouth closed.
But that doesn’t detract from the overall look and feel of the design itself. Still shots of this design are unique and somewhat breathtaking. The colored tips of the spines make it feel like MireGoji has crystals protruding from his back, and the oversized ones FIT instead of detracting from the feel. There are so many cool things to talk about on this design, it’s hard to find yourself focused on a singular flaw for too long.
Bonus round:
FinalGoji: What is wrong with the neck here? Am I the only one seeing this? There’s just something… wrong about it.
RadoGoji: I’m 100% trying to be body positive by saying this but… he got them leg rolls.
Shoshingeki Goji: So… at some point they just said ‘screw it’ and his face looks like Rocky Balboa after he fights Ivan Drago.
84Goji: I see a lot of things I like here… but the toes. The toes are so strangely sized and designed compared to his hand-claws.
SokogekiGoji: More like Doggo-Goji.
2014 Godzilla: I don’t care what you say, I love how he looks like he can give a good hug and kill your family with a strait face.
And there you have it! So what do you think? Agree, disagree? Have I become your enemy? Let me know it the comments!
