Ian_Choi 20261121 Natrix The Monster You’re both wrong. Legendary never confirmed Godzilla to be a “lizard”. They said “reptilian superspecies”. They never specified what kind of reptile Godzilla is. Plus the “theropod dinosaur” origin wouldn’t make the most sense, because what kind of theropod has gills and stands with their tail dragging on the ground?

[@DragnBoi65]

You know, it probably would be quite easy to bring Zilla to the Monsterverse. They could say he's a subspecies of Godzilla. He looks natural enough to be a legit Titan.

[@millround7126]

They just make him be able to take a bomb and boom zillas a titan

[@ashurad_fox5991]

That is quite true, we have already seen it in the anime (though not canon) They could easily say that it is a newer subspecies dormant (or newer species that became a titan due to modern day nuclear usage from the past decades, and is only nearing maturity), that would have probably been moving between the hollow earth and the crust, only feeding fish when needed (since Zilla has still yet to adapt to being a Titan). Though comparing on the other titan, Zilla is most likely lgihtweight and prey to other dangerous titans.

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

How Zilla can be reimagined and fit in the MonsterVerse: Instead of being a mutated iguana, it's a type of dinosaur-like lizard native to the French Polynesia (one of the islands have a connecting tunnel to Hollow Earth). It can burrow underground, blast out a fire breath, and swim very fast in the water, and in addition to radiation, it also feeds on fish (especially tuna). It is a hermaphrodite that is able to reproduce asexually via self-fertilization, but by doing so, this comes off at one of its offspring being sterile. In the kaiju food chain, it serves as being a lower part of the chain (cue Godzilla killing and eating one in a flashback scene), but it is also the predator of gigantic bugs on the islands where it lives (referencing the Queen Bitch from the unmade sequel and the Queen Bee from Godzilla: The Series).

[@Nzosaba_Matenge]

That's pretty cool. I would have had that particular dinosaur go extinct and perhaps a group combines its DNA with Godzilla's to make it alot more powerful. That way it could stand more of a chance. Maybe have the group use it as a type of weapon

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

Also, this hypothetical version of Zilla can also camouflage itself (think Indominus rex).

I think Toho has done a pretty good job with fixing Zilla over the years. He's never been Godzilla, he's always been more of a subspecies, which is what they should incorporate into the monsterverse. If Titanous Gojira is Godzilla's species then it could introduce a Titanous Jira species that is a less powerful descendent of the Titanous Gojira species.

[@nexusshark]

As long as it's not presented as Godzilla, I'm fine with seeing Zilla appear in future Kaiju movies. In fact I hope he does.

In fact, I would love it if there was a solo Zila movie. Think about it! The first act of the movie can be what appears to be the star monster rampaging and then the military takes it out. They do find a nest of eggs at the beginning of the second act, but being cocky, they believe if they just leave them all alone, they’d able to kill them easily. Not realizing that they can breed at an alarming pace.

[@blessingpick9destoroyah24]

Hi

[@Jaded_Infidel]

I think the overall feeling is the same for the monster itself. Zilla isn’t a terrible monster design, or terrible monster at all. It’s the fact it was introduced to everybody as the American Godzilla. If it wasn’t called Godzilla at all, given a different name from the start, or even was introduced as Zilla, we wouldn’t care. I’m actually upset that Zilla has no major video game appearances.

[@synk0412]

This incarnation of Godzilla is one of my favourite Kaiju. Just because it's not the proper Godzilla, it's still one of the incarnations. If Zilla mutated again, he would probably look a little like Godzilla. The design of Zilla was very cool with his dorsal fins curved forward, raptor like animation, long arms and its mouth. I would be overjoyed to see this Kaiju again, even in the monsterverse. (Although Zilla is not one of the monsters)

[@Xenosaurian]

You may be confusing Godzilla '98 and Zilla here though.

[@supersmashbro596]

@@Xenosaurian the big problem with 98 godzilla is that if they wanted to strip away the giant monster battles, they could have looked to the original 54 godzilla. that film wasn't a traditional monster movie, but a warning of the horrors of nuclear war, and what it might produce. in my opinion, i think shin godzilla is what the 98 version should have been: not a mutated dinosaur, but an amphibian or lizard horribly mutated to the point of becoming a walking disaster area. maybe it doesnt need to be as gorey as shin godzilla, but as a statement on our sin of nuclear weaponry, 98 godzilla really could have done with some kind of breath ability. maybe leaving trace amounts of radiation in its wake. just.. something to make it more like a godzilla incarnation barring being a giant reptile.

I think as long as discussions are not filled with insults and consist of people just giving their honest feelings then there’s no issue. Telling one side of the Fanbase that they’re not allowed to criticize some thing is a slippery slope. If you love Zilla that’s great but if you hate Zilla I don’t think you should have to walk on eggshells so you don’t hurt someone’s feelings.

I also really like (God) Zilla (1998), because he is just a more realistic Godzilla. The original and the Legendary Godzilla are both set in a Fantasy-World, with "Titans", Magic etc. - The original Godzilla walks upright and pulls his tail behind, just like Theropod-Reconstructions at that time. But Zilla walks like modern Reconstructions of a T-rex. So the original Godzilla is pretty much outdatet. - The original Godzilla is invincible, what is a boring story content, like Superman - the writers had to introduce kryptonite so that there was a threat to him and the stories could build any suspense at all. - The original Godzilla has its atomic breath, which is just over the top unrealistic for a mutant animal. - The original Godzilla also dies in the first movie, also killed by Humans.

Today is the 20th anniversary of the 1998「GODZILLA」film. Happy birthday. *NOTES:* • @3:31 - Here's a page from the 2014 book "All Toho Monsters Pictorial Book" showing the ToraGoji design alongside the other classic Godzilla ones! wikizilla.org/wiki/All_Toho_Monsters_Pictorial_Book#/media/File:All_Toho_Monsters_Pictorial_Book_p_232.jpg • @4:20 - HEIGHT CONFUSION: The book "Godzilla 1954-1999 Super Complete Works" claims that the 1998 Godzilla has a height of 70 meters when standing fully upright. The novelization says that he stands 55 meters when hunching over, and the Japanese theater program for the movie says that he's 60 meters hunched over. • To be completely clear: Toho never "bought the rights" to Godzilla 1998 so they could kill him in _Final Wars._ Toho's contract with Sony allowed it to use the American Godzilla however it wanted once Sony and TriStar's rights to the franchise expired. Toho had full ownership of the TriStar Godzilla when _Final Wars_ was in production, which is why Shogo Tomiyama and Ryuhei Kitamura decided to include it in the film as the new kaiju Zilla.

So the original Godzilla is pretty much outdatet. - The original Godzilla is invincible, what is a boring story content, like Superman - the writers had to introduce kryptonite so that there was a threat to him and the stories could build any suspense at all. - The original Godzilla has its atomic breath, which is just over the top unrealistic for a mutant animal. - The original Godzilla also dies in the first movie, also killed by Humans.

[@Pacificgoji94]

When I was younger I only knew Zilla/98 Godzilla, as the true Godzilla. Later on I was exposed to the Japanese godzilla and my entire world was flipped upside down. I remember I still liked Zilla/98 but I was reluctant to say so to other fans due to the hate stigma he was getting at the time. I eventually got over it and can say that Zilla is my second favorite kaiju (behind Spacegodzilla and in front of Mechagodzilla 1993) and is one of my personal favorite designs for any kaiju. I do hope a game comes out with him in it and the stigma behind him fully leaves because while the movie isn’t amazing (neither are all the Japanese godzilla films lol) the kaiju is something to appreciate and respect in its own right and will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@minatodroger7890]

@Pacificgoji94 I liked his comic book version in rulers of Earth a lot, for similar reasons why I like Anguirus best of all. Generally the less fancy powers a Kaiju has the better (a rule that does not apply to Mothra or the Ghidorah species, but pretty much all the other Kaiju), and them ferociously going after even the the most powerfull high end Kaiju with nothing but claws, spikes and teeth makes them the ultimate badasses of the Toho verse.

I never got the hate for the Zilla design, as long as you go with the mindset that this is a completely different universe then any of the older designs, just like with the new Hollywood films. I honestly liked the idea of doing a more "realistic" interpretation of the design and series concept.

[@theworstcatholic7247]

The issue is that Zilla isn't realistic, it'd still collapse under it's own weight, or suffocate from a lack of oxygen density in the atmosphere to sustain it, or hell the fact that it was created by radiation that would of given it cancer and kill it rather than increase it's size. It's not realistic, not even close. Sure you can say it's slightly 'more' realistic, but you can argue that Super man is slightly more realistic than Goku, both are so ridiculous that being slightly more realistic doesn't really matter much. People hate the design less and hate more that it's literally over 1000 times weaker,(being killed by missiles that are literally 1000 times weaker than the nukes Big G literally has as lunch) missed out the entire point of Godzilla(being an unstoppable force of nature, equivalent to a walking nuclear bomb). It's just a pathetic Godzilla. That being said I still like Zilla, just as a different and much weaker Kaiju than Big G.

When it comes to the American Godzilla, my story with the creature is a bit of a tale. When I was a little kid, I saw the 1998 movie on I think DVD, I'm not sure (sure didn't see it in threater, that's for sure). And I loved it. To this day, looking back, I still have fond memories of it. And I still recall constantly quoting the movie whenever I got the chance. Bear in mind, I was not new to the Godzilla franchise at the time. I owned several DVDs of the character -vs Sea Monster, vs Megalon, vs Mechagodzilla, 1984- and watched several showings of his movies on the then sci-fi channel whenever they would show them. So needless to say, I've been a big G-Fan for years. I did not walk away from the 1998 hating it. As I said, I loved it. I was just happy to see another Godzilla film. Yeah, in hindsight, the way Godzilla was killed was kinda bogus -though I would argue it's more of how he died, rather than him dying at all- but, again, little kid. I wasn't too keen back then on thinking about if the character was accurately portrayed. Flash forward a few years, and I found myself actually starting to hate the creature. However, in hindsight, I was think I was just jumping on a band wagon. A notion spurred by reading one too many message boards about the character, and buying into the hate. Looking back at it, though, I've realized that it was a mistake to give into what I'll call the "Zilla Hate". Hell, to be perfectly honestly, I've actually found myself shaking my head at Toho's attitude towards the creature during the Millennium era in recent years. Like, I get it. They weren't happy with how the Big G was handled in the American movie. But the various pot shots sprinkled into the movies was just eye rolling to me. No, I do not particularly think the fight between the two Godzillas in Final Wars -which in my opinion, is even worst of a Godzilla film than the 1998 movie- was in any way cathartic. In fact, it came across as annoyingly mean spirited. Why do you ask? So, yeah. I've never really hated the the American Godzilla. And I've realized that I always like him. And I'll always consider him a interpretation of Godzilla. Yeah, his not a very good interpretation, but hey. Sometimes, yeah gotta take the bad with the good. I do wish, however, that they had stuck more true to the character in the 98 film. Personality, what I would love to happen is for someone to buy the rights to the character from Toho, and actually give him some justice that I think he deserves. Maybe make him more akin to his offspring from the cartoon. With a resilient hide, and atomic breath, on top of the abilities he already possesses. Now that would be cool. If they could get a competent director to make the film, I think it could clear off some of the hatred that Toho's unneeded abuse towards the character has garnered over the years. Lord knows he probably needs it. So, yeah. There's my story. A bit of a long one, but I wanted to provide some context for y'all.

[@galingtar]

I think the design is bad. It's just a dinosaur but bigger. It is not true to the character at all. If the movie itself wasn't called godzilla it would have been taken better. To use godzillas name for your movie just to make a completely new character and backstory and meaning is just disrespectful. It deserved all the hate.

I will 100% admit now that I like the design of this Godzilla. I don’t know why but when I was a kid he looked cool

[@gurpreetbaidwan7547]

Very best video

I feel if it weren't for the fact that Zilla once had Godzilla's name he wouldn't be nearly as controversial. He has such a cool design and is so sleek and agile compared to the lumbering conventional kaiju that if he were entirely unique I imagine he could have been a fan favorite.

Godzilla'98 and 2014 are my favorite version. The '98 design is cool but Emmerich failed in its powers; poor Godzilla(98), Damn Rolan!

Zilla is just Godzilla's very distant Cousin thrice removed. 😂😂

[@ultragoji6332]

No, Zilla is Godzilla's son in law.

[@thesalamanderking3475]

He’s Godzilla’s European stepson

I think zilla is a subspecies of Godzilla.
