i was talking about the design, and was being a word in my username
ack reminds me what happened like last weekend
it was...not good
that is all the information you're getting lol
yes he's flawless besides that
1962 Kong has a lot of issues (not just his design)…
For example, he kind of has a drinking problem...
the kong suit is flawless what are you talking about?!!
Most of the effects in the 1954 film hold up incredibly well Today, the rest of the Showa series is sort of a mixed bag with some effects looking amazing and others not so much...*cough* *cough* 1962 Kong suit...
That really just shows why Practical effects are so important. Whilst CGI will always evolve over the years causing older stuff to look outdated easily, there's something about practical effects like suitmation which makes it timeless. Even after 65 years those effects still hold up!
Still working on the next chapter, but what would you like to see in it?
People talk about the early godzilla films spfx and compare them to monsterverse, but When I saw 1954 i didn’t expect it to look as amazing as it did
This isn’t a godzilla moment, but that train with the muto being lit up is amazing
The towers were apparently made of painted wax and the film crew supposedly shined a heat lamp on it causing the effect of the metal turning white hot and melting.
I like it too, I like how the metal turns bright before folding, kinda like how you’d expect.
Even the Monsterverse Rodan can easily slaughter the entire Pacific Rim universe.
I'll say the Honolulu Incident as well.
That scene has one of my favorite effects shot in the series when Godzilla uses his atomic breath to melt the towers.
The kiss of death in G14
i thought that too.
You just made me notice the wires thing that song. I feel like the train scene is also Iconic
I LOVED THE BUILDUP OF THE AIRPORT SCENE FROM THE TSUNAMI TO EVERYONE GOING QUITE WHEN GODZILLA STEPS. THAT GUY UNDER THE PLANE WING WHEN WATER CAME WAS LIKE, “what the fu-“
Him pulling the electrical wires down in the original. It's the first line in the Blue Oyster Cult song, which was one of my first introductions to the character, so seeing him do it in the movie was pretty iconic for me.
"Queen B****" was just a nickname given to the insectoid queen in the script (possibly as a reference to Aliens?), I'm not sure if they would have actually called her that in the movie.
I ALWAYS FORGET THAT PART AND ITS LIKE ONE OF MY FAVORITES
same with the ending
Also like the atomic breath power up in G 14
oh yeah i really need to watch the original again
1954 - Godzilla Comes Ashore. Barely disturbs the water, it’s kind of unsettling
Very disappointing when compared to Legendary Godzilla
yeah everyone's just like
AAAAH WEIRD GIANT BUG GUYS BACK
then suddenly
BADOOOM
big lizard guy
Thank you all haha, I'm honestly excited too!
@SarcasticGoji ZBrush has more to offer in terms of sculpting tools than Blender. Blender does have some great tools for a free program so its also worth the effort. HOWEVER, there is a ZBrush to Blender workflow available. Sculpt in ZBrush, polypaint and rig the model in Blender :).
Oooo, that’s also a great one!!! That Airport entrance still gives me chills to this day. For me it’s that silence after Godzilla foot touches down which makes that moment feel so epic to me
like, sonictiger would agree with me on this probably, MV Goji's first EPIC roar
basically, anytime he roars for the first time in a movie
or anytime, really
wouldn't make some sorta sense for Queen B to be...y'know...a dog? Because...female dogs are called- i'll see myself out
JEEZ GOJI YOUR REALLY GOOD AT ART
also yes Gojiverse and ROTK are both really good, you procrastinate much less than me at stuff TwT
Certainly i have to try and DIG some up.
Dane Hallet (AC Concept Artist) had some some Interesting works.
Very Cool like Transparent kind of Xenomorph.
These were Interesting too, giving us like a Look into a Hybrid of Human and Xenomorph/Neomorph DNA.
I think it would have been Interesting to see WHAT it is that David would have Created on Origae-6. So below i Modified a Engineer Concept/Work for Davids Notes from AC (Engineer too the Left) by turning it into a Taller, Slender Hybrid that i thought maybe could be WHAT it is that David would Create Next ;)
My TWO CENTS on the Prequels....
What we have to look at is the ALIEN Franchise was about the XENOMORPH you could not have said had a Sequel to ALIEN R that had No Xenomorphs or had NOTHING you could relate to it with. You then also had RIPLEY and she was the Continuation, the Anchor Point/Proxy for us, the Character that we EXPERIENCE the Horrors through her Experiences.
There were Under-layers such as Company Agenda, Androids etc. But it seems they RAN OUT of ideas as to HOW to Continue with the Franchise if you dont have Ripley and Xenomorphs (we in the same Boat Now).
And so the PREQUEL route was the Option and when you are doing a Prequel you are going to be EXPECTED to get Answers to the Xenomorph and LV-426.
But the other PART of the Mystery was the SPACE JOCKEY as to WHO WAS HE? and WHERE WAS HE GOING? and WHY did he have that Cargo... these in addition to HOW/WHERE the Xenomorphs came from are WHAT the Basis of the Prequels were.
During the Production of the Prequels they had Expanded a Plot/Background to the SPACE JOCKEY that could OPEN UP the Franchise to a Expanded Universe, and we got to a POINT when they was like "you know what that Engineers, Creation Plot and Connection to Ancient Mankinds Origins is a Interesting Plot" It was like ONCE you showed the Xenomorph and Origins and then WHERE do you go NEXT! More Xenomorph Movies?
And so they felt the other PLOT Points are where you could GO NEXT and then it was like "actually we dont have to give the Answers to LV-426 and the Xenomorph we could KEEP them a Mystery" The Problem was the Clues to WHAT happened on LV-426 and WHY was toned down too much and the Xenomorph did not get a Satisfactory Replacement! with Mutant Fifield doing MOST the Killing in ONE ATTACK and then the Angry Engineer in another Single Attacking Spree.
And so to CONTINUE with a Sequel that would NOT give those Answers and STEER AWAY from ALIEN and Explore more about WHO those Engineers are and WHY they Create Life and then WHY they would Destroy is, well US with Dr Shaw wanting to get those Answers... we also had the Creation/Rebellion Hierarchy which David was the Last Branch of.
After Years of NOT being able to come up with a Story, and FEELING that maybe such a STORY would NOT get a Interest, they FELT that maybe you NEED to give those Answers and to them bring back the Xenomorph and get us to LV-426.
And so the Xenomorph and LV-426 was Brushed Aside with Prometheus while it went to SET-UP another Avenue... and that Avenue was Brushed Aside to actually get us to the Xenomorph and LV-426.... but they FELT that David was the Central Character to the Prometheus Theme and so the EMPHASIS was still on him.... and the Xenomorph would be BROUGHT BACK... but to CONNECT those TWO... in which they did so with having HIM become the Creator.
But so much more about what else the Engineers had Created, other Horrors, other Worlds and Dr Shaw getting those Answers were all THROWN OUT!
What we got was a Wasted Potential of a Prometheus 2 where a Prometheus 2 may NOT have Pleased those who wanted XENOMORPHS and the Answers (LV-426).... to NOW giving those GUYS the Answers (Path to LV-426) but in a way that makes the Xenomorphs Creation NOT be that Special and the EMPHASIS on that Robot David which well is something that does-not PLEASE many.
"Unless they can show me why it was necessary? "
They decided to go and give us the ORIGINS and to make it FIT with the Theme at Play about Sub-Creation that can become Sentient, feel Superior to their Creator and NOT happy with their ROLE. with David he had FELT he was Superior to Mankind and the Engineers and he wanted to see what he could CREATE and so they felt LETS MAKE it that David is the Creator...
They could have had him Create something SIMILAR and it still would have FITTED the THEME/PLOT.... but then some Fans be like so where are the Xenomorphs and WHAT HAPPENED on LV-426 so you would have to give the Xenomorphs the LIGHT again and so they thought LETS MAKE it that David was the Creator (it seemed the Earlier Drafts that WOULD-NOT connect to LV-426 and give us the Xenomorph we would have seen David go and Create a NEW kind of Monster). But this was Changed so that we could FIT the Xenomorph and eventually HOW it got on the Derelict into the Prequels. (while still having David as the Focus).
WHAT A MISTAKE!
"I felt no connection to the main characters"
This has been a Problem since Alien Resurrection really.... if say you have ONLY seen AR (so you never saw ALIEN, ALIENS and ALIEN 3) then the ONLY Character who stood out was CALL....
I think its NOT quite how many you have, but you have to have 3-4 Main Characters who you can Really Connect with..... taking away the ROBOTS. Then with AR, P and AC we never had any Characters who stood out, Certainly as far as Survivors.... it was WORSE with AC as for me only Karine, Faris and Oram stood out.... then that was NOT too Well, Daniels and Tennessee you just had NO CARE for..... they was more like Milburn, Ford and Ravel/Chance from Prometheus than any Main Characters. And so Alien Covenant lacked its Dr Shaw, Janek and Vickers.
"The black goo that David drops from Juggernaut looked more effective and faster than the Aliens as bio-mechanical weapon anyway"
Absolutely ;) I have said a Number of times the Xenommorph is NOT really a Great Weapon, its more like a NUKE OPTION, well its Risky and by NUKE i mean it seems a Weapon you can use to WIPE OUT a Enemy but its NOT a Good One if you want to Reclaim/Occupy that Land/World.
The Black Goo from LV-223 as seen in Prometheus would be likewise, turning a Civilization into Fifield Mutants that will each other, and other LIFE being turned into Aggressive Hybrids like the Hammerpedes and even if we get to Deacons or Similar would ALSO make the Weapon something thats NOT ideal if you want to either TAKE OVER/RECLAIM a Planet.
The Neomorph Spores also would be the same...
But YES what we saw happen to the Engineers where there Genetic Material became like Calcified into Mummies.... then YES as a Bio-Weapon that was QUICK and EFFECTIVE and then Weeks, Months latter you can WALK around the City/World and all that remains of the Target are like Statues of the Fallen.
If the Black Goo can be Programed to cause that EFFECT (what we saw with the Engineers on Planet 4) then YES thats all the Bio-Weapon you NEED ;)
Another Point is that Ridley Scotts says the Engineers are Creators and Space Gardeners and it seems the Bio-Weapon is ONLY something they USE to RESET/RECLAIM the Worlds they SEED and so the Effects in Alien Covenant (not Neomorph Spores) would be PERFECT!
And so in Context to above then the SACRIFICIAL GOO would also be a IDEAL FACTORY RESET, if you had URNS full of that Stuff and so say those Engineers would then just START to become DUST/PARTICLES like in Prometheus Opening Scene then THIS would also be PERFECT.
So the MOTIVE behind the Mural and DNA in the Urns on LV-223 and any attempts to YIELD a Xenomorph/Deacon like Horror must be BEYOND merely to KILL a Enemy and TAKE OVER/BACK their World.... something more Twisted is going on with the Minds of those who WISH to USE the Creation/Reset Tool in this way.
Gojiverse and Rise of the Kaiju
In End of Evangelion, yes, Shinji needed Lilith to do that. However in the second rebuild movie, Shinji initiated Third Impact by himself to save Rei.
Also berserk Evangelion Unit 01 is still quite dangerous opponent for Godzilla. Even more so with an S2 Engine or should Shinji completely syncs with his Eva
Xenotaris your points are invalid,Lilith gave shinji the power to rebuild the world just in the third impact,so he cannot use that ability any time he wants
