Gojira, aka Godzilla, is a radioactive monster that was accidentally created by man. He's been around since 1954 and has appeared in 29 films and 20 video games.
I think you should stop making threads called forums about random stuff and read the site rules first, there are specific forums for all the games that you need, so look in those first and then add and contribute in the right places.
@Imsorrymsjackson: well this is only my second one and im just trying to start my own stuff to talk about.
I know but these threads will probably just get locked unless you start them in the right places, also you need to put more content in your posts otherwise they are considered spam and will be deleted. Also, posting about movies won't go overly far either as this is a website about video games mostly.
@geirr: I watched alittle bit of Gamera and think hes pretty cool, isn't job to protect children or something? My favorite bad monster would have to be King Ghidorah from the godzilla movies.
I remember catching one on late night TV when I was a kid and it scared me. The rubber suit looked so real to me that I couldn't figure out how they did such magic. Sadly my knowledge of it beyond that and another one off movie I saw later on that I found equally amazing is pretty much zero. That said I still love me some Gore-zilla! movies. I even like the CG remake they did in the early 2000's. Not as much as the originals, but it was a fun watch despite all the hate it gets.
I was getting ready to jump in here and lock this, but it looks like some actual Godzilla-based conversation has developed out of nothing, so I'll let this stand for the time being. Just remember: We already have forums for everything that has a wiki page on Giant Bomb, including games, characters, franchises, and concepts. Therefore, the onus is on you to actually create the discussion.
@MikeGosot: Yeah the guy who made Monsters is making the new Godzilla film, can't say it'll be good.. but he has made one of the more interesting Monster movies of late, I really dug it, but it's as far from Original Godzilla as you could probably get..
@L44: Well, Jet Jaguar was only a guest character in Godzilla vs Megalon (and maybe another godzilla movie, dont remember and need to research that) and was popular around the time Toho was making the movie so they added him in. Jet Jaguar had his own series of movies before crossing into the Godzilla universe.
@Vammo: I always heard growing up that it was the other way around. He was supposed to be the anchoring monster of the film to capitalize on giant mech bullshit but Toho realized halfway through that no one would give two shits about a rainbow-themed metal ice cream cone so they made him a side-character in a film Godzilla could better carry.
Wasn't Jet Jaguar created in a kids contest? Or i'm making that up? I swear to God i heard something like that.
I'll verify that:
Jet Jaguar was the result of a contest Toho had in mid-to-late 1972 for fans to come up with a new hero for them to use (to capitalize on the many tokusatsu and animesuperhero and super robot shows that were all the rage at the time). The winner of the contest submitted the drawing of a robot called Red Alone. The robot resembledUltraman, Spectreman, and Mazinger Z (all of which were very popular at the time).
If you don't know who this is, you aren't a Godzilla fan.
PUNCH! PUNCH! PUNCH!
So I bringing this back due to all of the recent news surrounding the new American Godzilla. How do you all feel about Frank Darabont re-writing the script? I'm really hoping the movie turns out good. From the way they were talking about it at comic con it sounds like they are aiming for a darker and horror feel and I think Godzilla could really use that.
I've never seen a Godzilla movie (not counting that american one) but I've recently gained an appreciation for bugs and bug themed designs so I think Mothra looks pretty cool.
