Godzilla: King of the Monsters May 2019.Trailer out!

SoVi3t · February 24, 2014, 1:49am

That rumour better be somewhat false. Everybody knows he always shows up as a meteor first. But yeah, they do need to slowly setup a fight with him. Get some Anguirus shit going on too. And Mothra. Dem TWINS!

any idea on how to actually do this on an iPhone? I’ve wanted a Godzilla roar for a text sound (or any new text sounds, stupid fucking iPhone) for ages.

anywho:

How Big Will Godzilla Be in the 2025 Movie?
Instead of re-estimating the Godzilla sizes, let me just start with the values posted in the io9 graph. From that, get the following plot.

These are mostly guesses for the years. I could have looked up the actual movie dates, but I’m too lazy. So, this is just an approximation of Godzilla’s size not the size of the actual and REAL Godzilla.

Actually, I plotted the natural log of height as a function of time. Why? Well, this is a more generic plot that I can then add a linear function to. Otherwise, I am assuming that Godzilla grows linearly with time. Why would anyone think that? And yes, I cheated. You can’t take the natural log of “50 meters”. Really this is the natural log of the height per meter (so that the stuff inside has no units).

Now, when I fit a linear function to this data I get the following (where a and b are the fit parameters from plotly).

That’s it. I have a, I have b so I get use this function to get the Godzilla height for any year. Now, let’s just plug in the year of t = 2025 (yes, t is in years). This gives:

That is 121.6 meters but I left off the meters because of my mathematical cheat above. Yes, that’s not so big. The reason is that although the 2014 Godzilla is 140 meters, this is bigger than the other trend. Really, it’s too big. A better value would be around 100 meters (this is based on the fit that includes the 140 m height though).

What about the year 2050? In this year, Godzilla would be 170 meters tall. Also, in this year Godzilla 2050 will be in 3D and include the much anticipated smell-o-vision (we have been promised this since the 1960s).

Godzilla’s roar has been my text sound for ages now.

I really Hope Ghidorah or Mothra is in this movie.

apparently I might have to jailbreak my iPhone in order to let it do that. Not that I have much of a problem with that

KG? Only in the first movie. Then after that he just shows up.

SoVi3t · February 24, 2014, 3:13am

he did it more than once, if I recall. He was also created when three genetically created beings were nuked. Big chunk of time he just got summoned by whatever random alien was threatening Earth again.

He also came down as a meteor again in the last Godzilla movie. He slowly evolved into KG in that one.

I forgot I posted in this thread 4 years ago (an old mind is a terrible thing to waste) but when I saw the trailer, it just confirmed to me the power and greatness of the Lord. I’m actually hyped to see this movie. The poster reminds me of the Cloverfield poster.

Edit: We better get the flying dropkick in this movie!!!

Geese_Pants · February 25, 2014, 11:10pm

New trailer…roar.

Amazing_Funbags · February 25, 2014, 11:22pm

IIRC:
Monster Zero: Shows up
GvsKG:Is the result of three Dorats being nuked. Shows up again.
GMK:Is summoned.

The GFW thing is iffy

Welp…only one thing left to say…

My avatar is exactly what im doing after I just saw that new trailer.

GreyFoxx · February 26, 2014, 12:01am

Buckets and buckets…of mayo.

SoVi3t · February 26, 2014, 12:07am

holy shit. I need to freeze frame to see what kaiju is falling in the ocean in that one scene with all the jets falling into the ocean.

Joshkaz · February 26, 2014, 12:17am

Oh shit…
That might be Mothra or Battra, possibly even Rodan.

SoVi3t · February 26, 2014, 12:18am

lol better be fucking Gigan.

Joshkaz · February 26, 2014, 12:23am

Doesn’t look like Gigan to me, but theres not a real good shot of the Kaiju.

SoVi3t · February 26, 2014, 12:29am

I just worry that we’ll get like 5 or whatever generic new Kaiju in this movie, rather than traditional Big G foes.

Amazing_Funbags · February 26, 2014, 12:46am

It’s probably the rumored Muto monster

voodazz · February 26, 2014, 12:53am

HOLY SHIT… they actually have an Asian in this trailer with a SPEAKING part!

Progress…

regulate · February 26, 2014, 1:19am

Mad hype for this now, is it me or right before the crying in the city (its all red), theres an alien spaceship or spines descending from the sky?

Amazing_Funbags · February 26, 2014, 2:00am

Pretty:

Interesting; the nuclear tests in the 50s didn’t create Godzilla, their purpose was to try to kill him. So there’s two points to be made here:

Godzilla isn't accidentally created by man, but was awakened by him. So he's more of a force of nature.

Nukes don't kill Godzilla, so everyone is screwed.
