In This Work, Godzilla, Which Continued To Grow On The Earth For 20,000 Years, Appears, Its Scale Will

In this work, Godzilla, which continued to grow on the earth for 20,000 years, appears, its scale will be ‘the largest successive size’ beyond 'Shin · Godzilla’ individuals.

Google Translation of the Cinema Today article on Godzilla: Monster Planet (x)

You know, at some point boasting that your movie contains the tallest Godzilla ever stops being impressive.

(via astoundingbeyondbelief)

They should try the opposite for once.  “At just 37 meters tall, the new Godzilla is the smallest Godzilla yet.”

No, that’s Coronosaurus.  Coriolanus is a species of Mixosaur found in the Besano Formation.

coriolanus? isn’t that a type of parsley?

Why was this so common in early kaiju dubs?

Tyrannosaurus eclipsing Allosaurus in popularity was one of the greatest disasters in palaeofiction.  In the 1925 Lost World Allosaurus was the main theropod threat and Tyrannosaurus was the cool obscure one that comes in and wrecks everything. Now T. rex is inescapable and there's no way to really escalate from here since Tyrannosaurids were the top tier theropods in terms of size/power/sensory perception and every single proposed "bigger" theropod has a million asterisks on that qualifier.  Jurassic Park managed to get around this by going for a more personal threat with the Raptors, but now they’ve been relegated to Chris Pratt’s godawful harem and they won't touch Spinosaurus with a ten foot pole anymore because Ibrahim et Al. happened and they ignited a neverending flame war the first time they tried.  This is why the only option the writers see left to escalate the threat is genemodded superdinos (which no-one likes anyway).  Sadly this viewpoint seems to be vindicated by the indifferent reaction towards the big non-T. rex theropods in Fallen Kingdom, which seems to universally be “it’s just T. rex but smaller”, though a lot of the blame still lies on the production for completely failing to distinguish the newcomers from T. rex in terms of behavior or even appearance, either drawing from the real world or making something up (I’m still waiting for my invisible Carnotaurus in a movie).  For a while while seemed like giving T. rex feathers might have been a chance to reinvent itself in pop culture more along the lines of it’s actual status, as that weird large theropod with more in common with birds than it’s peers, but as a result with a lot more “advanced” features than previous super predators.  Unfortunately the visual media dragged their feet long enough for the evidence to flip back to a more classical look and we’re back to square one.

we gotta hurry up and find out what color all the carnosaurs were and how feathery cause there are so many of them that nobody cares about just because Tyrannosaurus is bigger. What if Tyrannosaurus is the worst colored one and Allosaurus is like just fuckin fabulous????

Finally...

After years of nigh-unwatchable “public domain” releases by the likes of Alpha Video and Retromedia, Gappa the Triphibian Monster is coming to Blu-ray and DVD via Tokyo Shock on February 25. The company previously issued it on DVD in 2000, but it was non-anamorphic and is long since out of print. Knowing how Tokyo Shock’s recent kaiju releases have gone, however, best to snap this one up fast before it suffers the same fate.
