Here's what confuses me, and I too think that spilkey does say "modified Godzilla" more than GINO, but it's a bit to Todd McFarlane-esque for me. I'm waiting for him to fight Spawn.
HOWEVER, let's look at GMK (Which I've grown to like more and more) We have a design that during it's production was the center of a heated debate...White eyes, big teef, big feet, pot belly and turkey neck. That was pretty much overcome by how he was portrayed on screen but it still was controversial.
Not to rehash, but how much has changed over the years, Biogoji which is my favorite, looks as different from 54 as it does from millenium BUT, in general they are the same...GINO was not, Spikey here is in general Godzilla and if a layperson were to see him they would maybe think some sort of villianous clone of godzilla...WAIT, THIS IS WHAT SPACEGODZILLA SHOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE!!!! Anyway, I think Spike could indeed be used as a jump off point and perhaps a future villian similar to Venom, see where I'm going, it's the same, but different....but can be confused for the original depending on the person who views it.
I like how long this is taking to roll out, they could make a steaming pile of GINO, and drop it into any blockbuster weekend next year or 2013 and have it fail, but no, they are apparently doing exactly what people have cried, bitched and threw "OH GODZILLA! WHAT TERRIBLE LANGUAGE!" fits all these years...."Imagine if they took their time and spent the money to do this right, how awesome Godzilla would be..." You're getting your wish, now stop "OH GODZILLA! WHAT TERRIBLE LANGUAGE!" complaining!!!
GO GODZILLA!!!
You must show no mercy, nor have any belief whatsoever in how others judge you... for your greatness will silence them all!
