Agree, it still fits the man vs nature theme of the godzilla films.
I am so saving that image.
My first Godzilla movie was Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster. What made me a fan? The long plethora of monsters to indulge in. Whether it be Godzilla or Ghidorah, Battra or Monster X, I've always loved a series with hours upon hours of lore and concepts. They're fun to watch, I mean who wouldn't find a giant lizard crushing cities cool? But I like deep-diving into the lore most of all -- thinking about where Ghidorah came from or which is truly the strongest monster, y'know?
I love Ghidorah, so I'm gonna go with Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster. But I also love Godzilla vs Mothra and Terror of Mechagodzilla.
which i thunk would be an interesting theme for a kaiju movie to explore.
do i even have to say it?
The US Military did all the destruction trying to destroy G98.
Godzilla 1954, Godzilla 2014, Godzilla vs Kong, Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters, King Kong vs Godzilla, Godzilla 1984, Godzilla vs Biollante, Godzilla vs Destoroya, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, Terror of Mechagodzilla, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2, and Godzilla 1998. I need to watch more Godzilla movies to fully make a comprehensible list
Aside from the original 1954 film, my personal favorites would probably include Mothra vs Godzilla, Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster, Godzilla 1984, Godzilla vs Destoroyah, Godzilla 2000, GMK, and Godzilla 2014.
no actually it isn't he did destroy some parts of new York but due to him being the weakest version of Godzilla he was unsuccessful
man it looks like an old Godzilla creature
okay making some minor updates to add more detail to this fanfiction
Update 1: I just added some more detail to the Space Jockey, Vulture-Head, and Engineers in Chapter 1.
Update 2: I add more detail surrounding the Amengi in chapter 1
Update 3: I added more detail concerning the shi'larks
It does have some resemblance to a dragonfly, so it could be a species of meganeura or a related species (like meganeuropsis) .
I do like some of the lore fluff in Fireteam its just I wish they would have spent more time developing the story and characters because you can't just cut and paste gorman's marine's personalities to every colonial marine squad out there.
What I am trying to say, not every colonial marine squad/fireteam would be a band of misfits because if that were the case, the United America would have a very hard time maintaining their sector of space especially against their friend and rival, the Three World Empire or their enemies, the Union of Progressive People.

Fireteams is basically Left4Dead in an Aliens skin. My friend and I cleared the campaign on Stanford difficulty. Not much to do now aside from bumping the difficulty up and maxing out classes. And a new class arrives about a week before Alien day. No new missions sadly.

That was really off topic...
"It would be Interesting to see what the RPG says about them."
They are featured in the Alien RPG: Colonial Marine Operations Manual and are broken down into two distinct species.
The Arcturians proper are what were described in ALIENS being humanoid and all, possibly an engineer seed species.
And the Arctura, an anthropodal simian that inhabits the same world as the humanoids. A blue monkey with a horn in the center of its forehead.
@Kapkhronic
I agree its Unfortunate that RS had NEVER got to Explore his Plans, which had been Changed Quite a LOT from Prequel to Prequel by the POWERS THAT BE!
Ridley Scott had seen more Potential in the Engineers and WHAT ELSE they have Created and Been up to.... rather than just to Concentrate on them having those EGGS and WHY. He seemed to FEEL that ONCE you had Explained as to WHERE/HOW/WHEN those Eggs got on the Derelict.... its WHAT THEN?
It seems that after doing this (Earlier Prequel Drafts) then what do you do then? More Eggs, Face Huggers, Chest Bursters etc? And so their Involvement with HOW we have Eggs was just ONE THING.... there is more to Mankind than Gunpowder and its Various uses in WAR/WEAPONRY... there is MORE to Mankind than that...... where the Reasons for WHY we have CONFLICTS is more Important than WHAT we USE to Deal with them.
Prometheus had GIVEN us enough Clues but it was NOT SPOON FED and you had to USE your Brain a bit... but also it was Ambiguous to was STILL a Mystery Box.
Prometheus wanted to MOVE AWAY from ALIEN... but it could NOT do so Because it NEVER GAVE enough Answers and NEVER had any Monsters on Screen Long Enough to Relate to ALIEN.... and so the Sequel had became SHACKLED to ALIEN and the Xenomorph.
I dont think we will see the Completion of what RS may have wanted to SHOW....
But ONCE the Xenomorph has been MILKED too DEATH.... i think we will see more Variations of other Monsters from the Black Goo and maybe even MORE kinds of Species in the GALAXY as the PROMETHEUS PLOT had HUGE SCOPE!
At the Moment the Xenomorph is Synonymous with the Franchise, its what is Recognized as the Franchise, and its WHAT SELLS..... but i agree there is so MUCH more that can be Explored within Context to ALIEN via Virtue of the Engineers Plot.
"My only complaint, lore-wise, so far, has been the repeated statement that humans have not encountered intelligent beings in the alien universe.
Both the movies and the RPG have mentioned the Arcturians"
I think it Depends on the TIME-LINE... now we had Encountered Engineers before 2100 but maybe any Information about them was KEPT like TOP SECRET.
By the TIME we get to ALIENS then Humans have had Contact it would seem Quite a Lot with the Arcturians. But nothing much was given about them in the Movie, i would always had wanted to see them Explored, i had Read they was Explored in a Game before? And Described as Insect like..... thats a COP OUT if you ask me.
It would be Interesting to see what the RPG says about them.
While on this Subject (ALIENS) we learn that they have NEVER encountered anything like the Xenomorph before in all their Surveyed Worlds... but i GUESS this could be PUT DOWN to a COVER UP.... but the more that Canon is Changed so we have MANY MORE ENCOUNTERS... it Really begins to CONFLICT that NOTION from ALIENS.
By the TIME we get to 2150-2200 its likely that we would have Encountered Various Species.... both Intelligent and Monstrous.
The Prometheus Plot opens up a GALAXY of Many Races and Horrors which we have YET to Scratch the Surface with.
I hope its like the Predator event for Battlefield, worthwhile
ifox
I mean Aliens versus Predator 2 and Alien Isolation have phenomenal story telling that pays respects to the prosperities they are based on, so just because its a video game that doesn't give the developers an excuse to be half-assed with their stories.
I hold AVP2 in high regards because its what reignited my interest in both the ALIEN and PREDATOR series since 2003
*snicker* oily bananas batman! *double snicker followed by mainiacal laughter*
yes robin! very oily bananas!
Honestly you said it better then I ever will.
all I know is if I do t get to see riddley Scott’s ending to Prometheus I’m gonna end up extremely heart broken. I found myself looking him up earlier today…. My man’s 84 yikes I really want him to be giving free rain to make as much alien stuff as possible before you know what happens. Let him go out like 2pac
Fireteam Elite is very video-gamey. It almost feels like a retro arcade game in the way it forces you to start over if you die in a particular way. Insert coin, start again. The number of aliens is ridiculous.
All of that said, I guess I just consider a video game a video game. I've played AVP, AVP 2, AVP 2010, Colonial Marines, Isolation, Blackout, and Fireteam. I don't think Fireteam is particularly amazing as a video game, though it beats Colonial Marines. But I do like that it brings in some elements from other parts of the canon. I liked moving through the Prometheus inspired bits. And, generally, I thought it was fun. Not ground breaking by any means, but fun. I'm still about 4 missions from the end and still enjoying. But its going to be different mileage for everyone. I always wait until things are patched and on sale before I buy, and by then I've seen the reviews and have my expectations lowered adequately.
I've also read all of the novels, and this too has lead me to temper expectations. Some of them are fantastic, some of them are awful. In general, I have enjoyed them all in their own way.
An annoying thing in the japanese cut, its just long, and cant decide its plot points, and retracks on them.
i liked the characters but they do nothing. LITERALLY NOTHING
Also why banana oil... I'd never seen that before
I dont play COD, so......
Time to waste my money on a gane that i will only play for a month for this event
oh yes George Takei and the dude that voices Yogi Bear lended their voices for that dub
Yeah, the English dub for Raids Again is really bad. The dub keeps calling Godzilla "Gigantis" because apparently they didn't want audiences to confuse him with Godzilla (yes, really). They keep confusing the monsters' names. It has a narrator that describes things that the audience can clearly see (like telling the audience that jets are flying over the city, while the film shows jets flying over the city). The characters are given overly cartoony voices (one of them sounds like Yogi Bear) and half the time they just say random nonsense that isn't even trying to translate the original Japanese lines, such as the infamous "Banana Oil" line:

They really didn't care while making it...
Also can we note Dr. Yamane just looking like his soul was destroyed in the pciture though?
One detail Ive just grown to accept is that anguirus walks on its kneee
well at least Rodan looks like an early reconstruction of a Pteranodon or at the very least getting the retro-pterosaur/pterodactyl look down. Aside from being an armored reptile, Anguirus is nothing like an ankylosaurus
well Pteranodon became Radon/Rodan even though Anguirus and Rodan looked about as much like an Ankylosaurs and a Pteranodon as much as a Pelican looks like an Eagle or a Armadillo looks like a Pangolin
i really love to watch this movie
