sonictigerGodzilla ForumGodzilla Vs. Kong novelization shows we needed at least another hour of runtime!

What I think could be incorporated in Godzilla 3 is the ramifications of the Titans being forced into hibernation and Madison's PTSD since that was (reportedly) in an extended version of MechaGodzilla Vs. Skullcrawler 10

The design for Ghidorah sucks, and the Godzilla design is just ok.  Earth and Legendary are still the best designs...

I think that’s probably true. I mean now all the titans were shoved into the Hollow earth by goji after KOTM

It kinda ruins his design and contrasts with the rest of his traits.

European dragons have beaks. Ghidorah’s design is more eastern, which almost never had beaks.

if thats the case and some dragons do have beaks, why cant ghidorah have one?

BigDaveAlien: Covenant Forumprometheus opening scene

Going back to this SCENE/TOPIC then it is NO-WAY to indicate as i have said before that this Scene is on EARTH, it is just to show HOW the Engineers go about Sacrificing themselves to ALLOW for their DNA to Create Life.

It is UNLIKELY that the Earth is the ONLY place they have Visited and Seeded Life and Evolved Life, and in CONTEXT to the PLOT then we cant be 100% Sure that Mankind had Originated from some other PLACE and we had been taken to Earth in the Distant Past.

Ridley Scott had indicate that the Earth had LIFE before Mankind and the Engineers would go around and RE-SET their Worlds when they become Displeased or Concerned about their Creations.

Could the Engineers had played a ROLL in the Destruction of the Dinosaurs... i think YES in Context to the Plot/Franchise, could the Earth have had a Intelligent Civilization before Mankind that the Engineers also had taken CARE of so that they can USE the Earth to Seed/Take Humans too?  Again i think thats POSSIBLE.

I think also we cant RULE-OUT that some Engineers Decide to USE their Creation Tool to Create and Evolve Life on some Worlds and Experiments that are something that THEY have NOT been Authorized to do so. They likely have a Ritual Culture some kind of Religion/Cult and WAYS/RULES to Follow, but this does-not mean that ALL of the Engineers would FOLLOW these WAYS and so some could want to go and DO their OWN thing, to Create their Own Society or Sub-Species.

I have said this quite a BIT (Not Thousands of Times) it seems the Engineers are into Creation of Life in a BIG WAY, and that to them its seen as a HONOR and Privilege to DONATE their Body/Soul into Creating something so that they are Immortalized to a Degree in that their Donation means that the LIFE that comes from their Sacrifice is THEM/THEIRS.

The Engineers Plot is BOLD and Potentially has MANY ways it could be Explored or Interpreted and THINGS are NOT set in STONE and so they can CHANGE the Back Ground for the PLOT as they wish or EVEN just leave it AMBIGUOUS.

I think the BASIC way to look at the OPENING SCENE is that YES it could be Earth, it could be Planet 4 and it could be ANY Number of other Worlds, it is just to SHOW us HOW the Engineers begin their Seeding/Evolution of Worlds and this RITUAL has likely been Carried out on Countless Worlds across the Galaxy and BEYOND.

I think I might know why it looks off. The beaked dragon does not seem to exist in eastern dragons. So that might explain that. Ghidorah also shares qualities with the slavic dragon Zmiy Gorynych, which was also three headed, and some art shows beaks.

BigDaveAlien: Covenant ForumShaw's cargo return

Nice to Revisit some OLD TOPICS...

And as the Replies on here were BEFORE we got Alien Covenant, what we see is that INDEED we have David bringing and Raining HELL on those Engineers.

This made LOGICAL Sense for David as he had become FREE i am sure he would NOT want to be sent Back to Earth to be Harvested for Information then FACTORY RESET.  And he has some NO-SO Fond Memories of the LAST TIME he had met a ENGINEER, he would want some kind of BACK UP PLAN and Protection and so its likely he had Mentioned to Dr Shaw they would be BETTER OFF to take the SHIP with its PAYLOAD as a Insurance Policy.

For David he is a Survivor, he is FREE and would WANT to remain this way and LIVE! and so he LIKELY saw the ONLY GUARANTEED way that HE and Dr Shaw could Survive would be to NUKE! those Engineers with their OWN WEAPON.

Then BANKING on the Engineers having some kind of Repository of Knowledge and History that he could then go through and maybe GET some Answers for Dr Shaw.

Those Engineers seemed to NOT even Suspect what was going to Happen to them, YET they are AWARE of those Ships and so its a Question of are these Engineers Welcoming Back their WAR HEROES... and are so Naive to think there is NO-WAY anyone else could Obtain those Ships or that the Engineers do-not NEVER bring Ships to their Civilized Worlds Carrying any PAYLOADS.

Or do the SHIPS have another more Ritual Use for those Engineers?

I never knew that, interesting! I guess it just looked a bit off on the first view for me. Whilst I still don't think it works very well for Ghidorah specifically, I can live with it (Also it's just for a theme part attraction at the end of the day)

BigDaveAlien: Covenant ForumXenomorph Size Comparison clip - FilmCore

Certainly the Gestation Times are all over the Place in the Franchise, does that IMPACT the Size? Who knows?

As the Protomorph had a Rabid Gestation and seem to be Larger than the Xenomorph Warriors.  The Neomorph also had a Quick Gestation.

When it comes down to the Deacon it would appear this took DAYS.... i think we have to take into Account the Deacon we saw was from Dr Shaw's Fetus (Trilobite) which GREW Big Fast..... but this kind of Face Hugger is a HYBRID and has a LOT of Human DNA and maybe this Impacts the Gestation Time, or maybe when a Engineer is Infected  the Gestation Time is SLOWER.

The Pred-Alien Procreation with the Direct Embryo Implantation was also a VERY FAST Gestation Period.  I think what we have is that the GESTATION is just a PLOT Factor, and so each Movie the Producers/Directors come up with DIFFERENT Speeds to SUIT the PLOT/PACE of the Movie.

With the DRONE maybe it was the Way that Kane was taken Care of when he got back to the NOSTROMO and so in MED-BAY in some kind of Cryo-Assisted Rest/Capsule could account for the SLOWER Gestation?

You could Wonder if this is WHY we saw Sgt Lopes Gestation being Longer? Some could Argue that Orams was much Faster but we have to remember the MOVIE is NOT playing in Real Time....  When Lope gets Infected the £"$£% Hits the Fan and they Quickly attempt to make their Escape.  The Time from when Lope meets up with Daniels and they make their RUN FOR IT to get to the Lander to when they get to the SHIP may be Longer Screen Time.. but David could have been ALONE with Oram for Hours.

It would have been Interesting to see Ridley Scott complete his NEXT FEW Movies and see HOW he would have Explored the Procreation of the Protomorph i would GUESS that he MAY have gone for the EGG-MORPH. I think the Egg Morph makes GREAT SENSE if THIS is How you can Create a Queen.

Finally talking about the QUEEN we did have ALIEN 3 and we saw that the Queen had taken a LONGER TIME to Gestate and so maybe XENOMORPHS that have the ability to Procreate/Reproduce are the ONES that take LONGER to Gestate?

In the art of book for King of the Monsters, they bring up the idea that Ghidorah's heads were constantly being torn off by Godzilla and always having to regenerate, it's possible that Alan Jonah found one of these mummified heads that was torn off thousands of years ago and the brain inside was still intact.

Another explanation could be that it was created artificially, using the DNA of the severed head.

Just understand a lot of this stuff wasn't actually in the Godzilla vs. Kong script, but stuff the author of the novelization made up:

"I hear it has a lot of scenes that were never even in the script. Should be cool to see that take, also I hope it expands on the monster's inner thoughts." - Adam Wingard [source]

I just read that same article, and I'm sticking with the paragraph from the differences section that says:

- "The Iwi word for" Godzilla "is" Zo-zla-halawa. "Jia recalls a story her elders told her of Godzilla" [eating] a star "in the Hollow Earth that turned him wicked. The Iwi and Kongs waged war against him for a time, but they were unable to defeat him, resulting in most of the Kongs being killed by Godzilla. Ultimately, they journeyed to the surface and took up residence on Skull Island. "-

 

What kind of star did Godzilla eat to turn evil? The only two explanations I can think of are some stomach disease for which Godzilla was in a very bad mood, and the other is the return of the Xiliens, with devices to control Kaijus.

Cool to have so many new details, but now I have a big BIG question. Where the hell did that 2nd Ghidorah skull come from?! Like seriously that's a very important detail to either leave out or not consider when writing this movie because either way that's a pretty big plothole!

ChrisAlien: Covenant ForumXenomorph Size Comparison clip - FilmCore

 Watching this again got me thinking that perhaps the reason for the '79 Drone (Big Chap) being larger than its Warrior cousins in '86 was due to gestation time. The Drones might gestate longer when a Queen is absent to ensure a more durable physique. When numbers are not on the Xenomorph's side. When a Queen is present however they can take advantage with numbers so the pheromones excreted by the Hive could speed up incubation for new Aliens waiting to burst. This would explain why the Aliens shown in a Queen-present setting are smaller and more slender than those born without the presence of a Queen.

This would also explain why the Deacon grew (in concept) to be as large as it did.

I still wish and pray someday we get to see what became of the Deacon on-screen but I don't think it will happen unfortunately.

Godzilla's design somewhat reminds me of GEMSTONE's design from his Gvs.G short film. It's a beautiful blend of Heisei and Monsterverse! Can't really say the same about this Ghidorah though (why does it look like he has a beak?)
