cg5567Role Playing ForumMultiversal Empire: The Military

Besides actual imagery, I like to write about militaries and ignoring multiversal technology I believe my own multi-galactic empire may rival yours. (without multiverse tech, it will take some time to get there.) I also use some of my own vehicles and ships, and others. Most of mine have been upgraded or reimagined to fit the empire's needs and are all practical and powerful.

I say future, like a post apocalypses one like the anime trilogy but live action with a hollywood budget, preferably a hollywood production so we can have diverse locales.

I hope his swimming gets fixed, he swims upside down.

It's odd that the 2014 model is really good yet the 2019 model needs work. You'd think it would be the other way around.

BBC documentary style?

Godzilla... one of the largest animals ever to walk this planet. This animal....

The Past.

We've seen a lot futuristic Godzilla stories, but we really haven't seen a lot set in the past. I really hope the MonsterVerse does more with that idea, because I think the idea of Godzilla and other giant monsters existing in the past could really be interesting, showing them alongside prehistoric life and possibly playing a role in humanity's past. Imagine a tribe of prehistoric humans attempting to hunt a herd of mammoths, but it suddenly gets interrupted by two titans fighting each other, later the tribe is shown depicting the battle with cave paintings and carvings, viewing the titans as some type of deity or spiritual message.

You're right on a few things. Majority of the population was rooted in China and Korea, but i could be wrong about this, i dont think we 100% know where the ainu come from as DNA tests are contradictory

I've read up on Japanese history via wikipedia and found out that the ancestors to the Ainu people originated in eastern russia while the ancestors of the yamato people originally inhabited korea before the actual koreans inhabited that area. Ancestral Koreans originated in Manchuria China and drove out the ancestral japanese out of the korean peninsula into southern japan.

After rewatching those scenes it doesn't appear so, which makes sense given the time the film was made, and the real world inspiration of Odo.

Thats dissapointing, but it makes sense why no one had talked about it before.

The ainu are the people who are actually indigenous to Hokkaido. The government didnt actually recognise them until 2019...

I'll try and see if i can find something for the museum or anything really helpful thats in english if you are at all interested about the culture.

Odo island Natives definitely thought he was.

 

This has never really come to mind for me but now it has, were the Odo Island Natives supposed to be Ainu?

In a way, you could technically argue that most versions of Godzilla could be considered "dragons".

Pretty much. I really liked how the animated series had a good medium of him going in between the two postures.

I don't mind the theropod posture, although the more upright posture would feel more inline with the classic Godzilla. I think if the posture was somewhere in between the typical Godzilla posture and the theropod posture it would look cool.

One thing i really liked about it was the theropodal posture. In fact I do think that most of my godzilla drawings would be in that stance for a while.

I actually think the design could've worked for Godzilla. If they had made him more upright, a bit bulkier, maybe toned down some of the more iguana-like features, as well as making him stronger and giving him atomic breath (like they did in the animated series), he could have been a good reinterpretation of Godzilla.

I relate to that. While it wasnt mt first movie, i was definitely a fan of Zilla for a while.

The design is great. Thats mainly why.

In all honesty while I am poking fun at Godzilla 98, I have to admit that I do actually enjoy the movie to a certain extent. It completely misses the point of the original Godzilla and is technically a bad adaptation of the character. But at the same time there are moments where it is a somewhat entertaining monster movie. It was actually the first giant monster movie I ever saw as a kid and was one the things that introduced me to the Godzilla series (the others being toys, the animated series, the Blue Oyster Cult song, and various clips of the Toho movies that I would occasionally see on TV), so without it I might not be the Godzilla/Giant monster fan I am Today. So even though it's technically not that good of a movie (though I don't think it's as bad as its reputation), I kind of owe a lot to it.
