GODZILLA: King of the Monsters (5-31-19 -NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

[jellydonut25]

Also, "Godzilla Tracker Back Online: Specimen Headed to San Diego, CA"


EDIT: AND I just noticed...Mothra is at site 61 and Rodan is at site 56.

King Ghidorah is at outpost 32...possible reference to The Thing(?) since it was at outpost 31(?). Might be a stretch, but it seems like they put at least a little bit of fun thought into those number designations and I'm struggling to think of what 32 might signify otherwise, when it could have been 64, for KG's first appearance, or maybe 00 for Monster Zero, or something.

Monarch just tweeted another new thing.

It's basically just some sounds...possible teases of the kaiju roars...and also, if you pay close attention, the dial will pause on a few different numbers for a second or so. Take those numbers, put them in the Monarch Sciences site, and upgrade your security clearance to Crimson.

That sounds like a distorted Ghidorah screech to me!

[gyaos]

Just keep the monsters original roars/sounds.

One of the failings of the Heisei King Ghidorah was it's new roar

[Benjamin Haines]

Give me new roars! One of the best things about such a long-running series is how the monsters are reinterpreted over time. New designs and new sounds are the reason for the season.

Plus, between Shin Godzilla and the anime movies, Toho is already making sure Godzilla's old sound bytes get reused.

I was on my lunch break today, when I heard O'Shea Jackson Jr. on the radio, and yes, talking about "Godzilla: King of the Monsters". He and other cast members will be headed to SDCC. He also indicated that his character works for Monarch (a captain in their military branch as opposed to just being in the regular armed forces). And he enthusiastically brought up King Ghirdah, indicating that "he is a beast!"

I am currently split. Part of me wants to see Ghidrah in tomorrow's trailer, while the other half wants to wait until the movie!

[lhb412]

Okay, have to work tomorrow. Do I stay glued to my phone for all the goodness or save the trailer and whatever else for home where I can appreciate it on a big screen?

I also agree we should have updated roars. Although I didnt like G14s roar.

[Ultra T-Rex]

I'd prefer the original roars, perhaps modified a bit, or a combination of old and new. But I could accept all-new roars that sound close enough to the old ones too, if that's what we get.

[Henry88]

so the trailer drops today?

[Benjamin Haines]

^ The Warner Bros. film panel at SDCC will take place from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM pacific time, so it starts in less than an hour. We that they've prepared a trailer for Godzilla: King of the Monsters that runs 2 minutes and 23 seconds so it's presumed that they will debut that during their film panel. Hopefully, like the first trailer for Kong: Skull Island, WB will release it on YouTube on the same day they debut it at Comic-Con but we'll see.

Yeah "new but very clearly recognisable" is what we'll be getting I'm sure, and I'm fine with that (so long as they don't just sound like crap of course ).

EDIT: I found of the panel that's going on now, if anyone wants to follow along too (and if it gives you the "subscribe or disable ad blocker" prompt you can just google "SDCC live blog" and use the cached link to it instead).

[Kailem]

Here we go....

Potential semi-spoiler from the live blog:



Bear McCreary confirmed as the composer, and we'll apparently hear the classic Godzilla theme.

And here it is!!

[Jorzilla]

As with Godzilla 2014, Godzilla reprises his role as Gamera as humanity depletes the Earth of mana.

[Gentleman]

All the goosebumps. I have them.

[TerranigmaFreak]

Is that a turtle kaiju in the trailer!?!? That can't be Rodan in 1:10.
