Godzilla (2014)

I dunno, I'm not knowledgeable about such things.

Also, maybe they're not after Godzilla.

What the hell ELSE could there by to go after but the giant Death-Lizard?

That is the question, isn't it?

They could be going in to rescue important people.

From the looks of that city, the important people are importantly crispy.

Then wouldn't they light them after they hit the ground around Godzilla?

Then the flare smoke wouldn't go past the smoke cloud over the city.

Given that these are foot soldiers with nothing larger than anti-personnel rifles I'm guessing they are a recon team meant to track Godzilla's movements and direct air support. Or rescue important people in a basement somewhere. Probably Dr Serizawa and whoever is with him.

So I just saw the trailer, and I have to say HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIITTT.

Yeah, they're most likely being sent in to rescue someone(s), or maybe something.

I had a thought, HALO Jump plus 3D Maneuver Gear on Godzilla.

I think Godzilla is a teensy bit big for 3D Maneuver Gear.

Alright, get this: 4D maneuver gear.

So maneuver gear with a Tardis tacked on?

The best visual is the soldiers breaking through the cloud cover into a hellish cityscape, and then the uncomfortable, claustrophobic view of Godzilla through one of the soldier's goggles.

Now THERE'S a crossover that needs to happen: Godzilla, Doctor Who, and Attack on Titan, and I don't even know anything about Attack on Titan!

Its got a pissed off kid who can turn into a 45 foot pissed off murder machine.

I have to admit, I'm worried by the apparent lack of Japanese people in the trailer. I only saw one person who looked important and I could positively identify as Not American.

Apparently, there will be a part of the movie that takes place in 1954 japan, so I won't worry too much about it.

Someone estimated Godzilla's posible size on this forum here.

Over 230 Meters tall if he's correct.

Damn, that's more then twice the size of the next largest versions of godzilla (Heisei Godzilla and Final wars godzilla).

It's set in the US from what I can gather, so the lack of Japanese people is to be expected. More minorities would be nice, though.

Now that is a motherfucking God Monster right there, Emmerich.

Too bad about the American setting, but at least the monster is faithful and looking awesome, so I'm still very excited. Do we have any word about the reaction in Japan?

This counts I guess

IIRC, there's going to be another monster in the movie, with Godzilla being the "good guy". I think the teaser trailer showed the remains of a different monster, too.

It's set in San Francisco which has a decently large Asian minority population so if there aren't more Asian people in the film proper that would be disturbing.

Also San Francisco is starting to have it rough huh? Two monster movies burn it to the ground in two years. And this isn't even the first time Godzilla has wrecked it.

2 other monsters, I think.

One is a centipede-esque lizard monster and we don't know what the other one is.
