The BLOOD VOMITING Science Of Shin Godzilla Mutations Explained

- Опубликовано: 17 авг 2023
- To say Shin Godzilla was having a good time when he emerged on land, is like saying its a good time to get third degree burns all over your body and go roll around in broken glass. In a constant state of agony, this creature would emerge and immediately begin wrecking Japan. Not understanding that his body was essentially one giant tumor, adapations to human counter measures would pop up amazing quickly to defend himself as he could not meet his end. But how exactly does this biological change work? lets discus that in todays episode!

@RoanokeGaming I’m Already subbed :) and you should do a video on the movie “shin ultraman” that came out this year
Soo, the reason there is SOOOO many meetings is BECAUSE that is literal commentary on the way Japan governmental system works. Yes, there are that many meetings for (most times) pointless meaning.
One thing that I personally recommend to you, one RUclips "scientist" to another. Now I kind of got the idea for this from a commenter. Now there was a concept thing for shin Godzilla or rather deleted scene where the pieces blown off grew teeth and eyes. This reminded me of cancer. And then I realized that if Shin Godzilla started out as a single-celled organism, or threat statistically impossible process more or less all of the cells in its body basically became cancerous at the same time. This would allow the thing to keep functioning, because the cancer rather than spreading into surrounding tissues and killing off what's closest. They would all become cancerous, and cancer works together with other cancer. And cancer is very resilient, it can kind of handle being its own single cell and then dividing back into what it was, and for things like shin Godzilla or zombies that can only be dealt with by head trauma. This might be something to consider, because the cancer can basically survive any damage to the body that a Survivor would throw at it - but a shot to the head or removing the head would destroy the neurology or just Severance Communications with the body. If this was the case it can't really interact with the body, kind of like if you removed your cerebellum. So maybe Shin Godzilla is an extremophile that went cancerous from a single-celled organism, and the zombie viruses that are incurable and make the host basically indestructible. Those are just cancer victims, where the cancer worms its way into the brain, assimilates rather than destroying the body so that it can kind of handle all damage, and the cancer cells get there by breaking the skin, entering through the saliva, and then taking over the brain by replacing neurons or something.
I've already left a detailed version explaining why, but if you're dealing with near indestructible things like a zombie where everything does zero damage unless you damage or remove the brain. Or Shin Godzilla being able to survive no matter how much of him is blown off, that's because all of the cells are now cancerous. You've already discussed how resilient cancer is, we both know that cancer can basically be on its own. Perhaps those viruses are actually just cancer that figured out it can go through the bloodstream, get to the brain, then assimilate the rest.
I enjoyed this. Want part 2
Fun fact: that many meetings by a government during an emergency officially makes this movie more accurate than some documentaries.
I personally really like them for making the film feel much more real. It highlights the issues bureaucracy can have in situations of crisis, it shows the handicapped Japanese government post WW2, and much more. It may seem unnecessary if you’re here just for the monster, but the movie was meant to be more as you mention
@@spectre4165 I believe it's supposed to be something of a satire on the endless bureaucracy and inflexibility of the entrenched old men in the Japanese (and to some extent ALL) governments. The situation is only resolved when they are sidestepped entirely.
@@giantbonsai8950 exactly, believe in the case specifics of Japan this was to critique the poor handling of the Fukushima incident
My brother literally describes this movie as a fictional documentary and I totally agree with it 😂
Fun fact: It's a replication of U.S. government and supposed mirror it after World War 2. Most of its government structure was created by U.S. government to replace their old system government to avoid repeat of "emperor" or "religious authority". So if you think Japanese government is bad, U.S. is it's ugly twin.
You've got to give the creature designers credit, that thing just screams "In constant agony" with every look and move.
Yes, I remember a lot of people's reactions to it was "Well this really looks like something that should not be."
That's more or less how OG Godzilla was supposed to be more or less- just with more "lost, grieving, vengeful sorrow" to him. But rubber suits could only convey so much back then, it was the first Tokusatsu film after all. He is in constant suffering and blames humanity for it. That much is translated *very* well into Shin Godzilla's design.
Only thing is missing are the screams from mutant-bear in "Annihilation". Oh man, still gives me the creeps...
If i remenber the interview correctly, his skin is supposed to look like the skin of someone burned by radiation, and with a bit of research i think they really succeded at showing this horrific injury.
@@Darkflo23 The funny thing is the OG Godzilla had a similar "burnt charred" look but to my understanding it was kind of unintended- but after it was noticed they leaned into it over the years, resulting in bumpy spikey black scales. Shin Godzilla just cut the middle man and went straight up "He looks like he was freshly burned alive and is really pissed about it" with his design instead of trying to be subtle with it like usual.
The reason Shin feels so much pain constantly is because he evolves WAY too fast. He keeps changing so fast and often that his body rips itself apart in doing so, which is why his body is so fleshy and grotesque, he evolves faster than he heals and it’s unbalanced, it helps him overcome anything, but he can’t bear the pain it causes him.
His body can't keep up with itself. It keeps adapting way faster than it can adapt to the adaptations.
Skin is the best example as it looks like is constantly ripping from form changes stretching it faster than it can grow.
That's such scary concept
Makes me wonder if it would become more docile should it be left alone long enough to gain a stable land form with no immediate threat to need to adapt to
Not evolution, since it's not taking place over a long period of time, its rapid mutation, but I don't think evolution fits
His skin looks like a thick layer of scab and scars, while it's horrifying to look at, imagine what this creature feels and thinks while it's flesh and bones been continuously being torn and reformed.
@@johnP0908it is best not to imagine any animal that will have the same pain as him
They made Godzilla, in this film, genuinely terrifying. He felt more like an eldritch monster in this film than in any other installment I've seen. The fact his jaw unhinged and breaks apart to form the beam was terrifying. Every version of Godzilla in this movie is so uncanny, it's difficult to describe how uncomfortable the monster designs make me in this film. Really top-notch design, especially the eyes
Thats because the people behind this one are big hitters behind Neon Genesis Evangelion. Godzilla wouldve, in concept, become a human like eldritch monster.
Every other Godzilla was designed like an agile, intelligent creature that some may think is just a ''normal'' form of life (if you considered atomic breath normal), with a mind of it's own and clear thought process, that depending on the movie is to destroy humankind out of hatred and a revenge desire or keep certain order, almost favouring humans, by fighting other kaijus.
But Shin Godzilla is jus...Unsettling.
Disturbing.
In a way, he looks inherently ''wrong''.
An almost demonic creature in constant agony, that has no reason to be alive, and looks like it doesn't have any other thought than ''this hurts even more, I have to evolve to avoid it'', without another clear goal.
He was originally supposed to turn into a omnipresent being but that was scrapped.
it was actually gonna be even more terrifying, as Godzilla would progressively evolve more and more into a being that transcends physical law
he was actually suppose to turn into a eldritch monster, but they had to remind the director it was just a godzilla film
Fun fact: there are 2 interesting deleted scenes, in one of them godzilla's 3rd form vomits an ungodly amount of boiling blood before fleeing back to the ocean, the other showed that the pieces of flesh that fell off of godzilla had started to grow eyes and teeth
I looked it up, and there is a shin godzilla zipline that also references the clumps of flesh with eyeballs and teeth
@@brandonanguiano2121yeah, the original idea for Shin wasn't the "and now I will become the humans themselves" thing, but that Shin would become kind of an eldritch being, a gigantic infection that would eventually swallow the entirety of Japan
@@hasturthekinginyellow5003 That line of dialogue towards the end of the film, where the Yaguchi team is about to crack the meaning of Maki's origami array, "Godzilla could even be capable of growing wings" was alluding to the original plan of evolving into the lovecraftian god incarnate.
The "boiling blood" scene is very good, even though it's unfinished. It almost indicates Godzilla changing his internal biology to gain the ability to blast his beams from his mouth. The blood spills out, melting the tires of partially submerged cars, indicating both intense heat as well as corrosive qualities to Godzilla's blood.
@@gabrielboorom2683that sounds like a really cool detail that they should’ve kept in. It always kinda bothered me how he gained his fire breathing abilities so abruptly.
The meeting scenes were meant to criticize how the Japanese government handled several disasters that the damage Godzilla causes throughout the movie is meant to replicate. From a foreign perspective, it's not obvious, but from the perspective of Japanese who lived through those events and kept up with the government's response, it's pretty clear and also kind of based.
I guess this is only a critique at the beggining when they dismissed the snomalies, undermined godzilla's potential danger and were more concerned with apeasing the population, but they really got on tracks and the meetings became important to make a plan and deal with the thing
@@italucenaz You can see Gaijin Goomba's video about the movie, he tells you about how he interprets this Godzilla with what he knows about Japanese culture.
Many say the original Godzilla movie was an allusion to the atom bomb, and this Godzilla is more of an allusion to a natural disaster, especially making reference to the Fukushima Nuclear disaster
@@EkoBahamut I know, the beggining of the movie clearely criticize the slow process of action that made the problem bigger, but later when qualified people come up with the ideas and plans it was ultimatelly what solved the godzilla problem, a problem humanity created but managed to triumph against it too
Classic Godzilla stuff
yes it is and they purposely shot footage that looked similar to the aftermath of the tsunami
There’s a reason why I believe shin and ‘54 goji are the same but very different, both are in constant agony but the way they express that agony is very different. ‘54 goji is full of rage and anger “you disgusting INSECTS you are why I am like this now, suffer as I am suffering” but shin is a scared child lashing out, “why does it hurt? how do i make it stop hurting? why can’t I make it stop hurting? PLEASE MAKE IT STOP HURTING!”
A lot of ShinGoji's early reactions seem to be 'flight'. Like ShinGoji's hoping that it can get away from the pain if it just runs fast enough and far enough. It's not going after anything in particular when it first arrives on land, it's basically just running...which of course at its size ends badly for everyone involved.
And as with any injured animal, any stimulus that gets too close is a potential threat. You're already in pain. You have no idea what humans or cars or planes or buildings are but there are a lot of noises and vibrations and lights and any one of those things could try to use your weakness as a means to attack you and finish you off.
And even when directly attacking the military it seems very selective about what it goes for. It recognizes military vehicles as being a dangerous thing that can cause it more pain but seems to ignore others as it has no experience being hurt by them and thus doesn't consider them important to deal with.
Didn't think I could feel sad for Godzilla, yet here I am wanting to give him a hug now.
@@JB-bm1toSadly you couldn't give Shin a hug, you'd melt and he'd cry even more. Check Rrubesz comics with Shin Godzilla
I think Shin eventually morphs into a complete being of invasive evil. By the third form at least, once its confident it's worked most of its kinks out.
Does that mean that the reason it stopped in Tokyo is because it realized it couldn’t escape the pain and just seized, waiting for whatever is happening to it to stop?
So to my knowledge the Godzilla films base themselves (most of the time) around specific events, that said "Shin Godzilla" is a commentary on how the Japanese people felt about the lack of immediate action taking by the Japanese Government surrounding the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami. Hence why there is a comedic level of meetings by various Government officials through most of the film and by the time they finally acted it was already too late.
As well as the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
The Fukushima disaster was caused by the Tohoku Earthquake & Tsunami
Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the... Reactor?
Now you're thinking with nukes!
@@RoanokeGamingSo oppenhaimer with monsters?
@@zamasuanimations1628Oppenmonster
@@zamasuanimations1628 This... maybe, just that gojira isnt concious of it
This is a crazy collab right here
I remember watching a review of this movie SOMEWHERE that all the meetings actually have a narrative purpose. Part of it is that the humans are so tied up with bureaucracy, while Godzilla is not. As the movie goes on, theres more and more meeting, so more and more bureaucracy causing them to be tied up more and more while Godzilla is only adapting and moving faster.
Good point. Never thought of it like that.
It's the political satire of the film, and alluding to the incompetent response to the Fukushima quake and disaster fallout.
This film is a criticism of the Japanese government's handling of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Slow bureaucracy was a major reason why the disaster was as bad as it was. They could have solved the major issues immediately, but instead tried less effective solutions that only served to make things worse long term.
100% this! From what I can recall, it's absolutely an intentional critique of the excess beaucracy Japan has been dealing with
Gaijin goombah?
the meetings are all genius satire, they actually are some of my favorite scenes in the film. mostly played for satire, the header "abbreviated" is entirely played for comedy, as is the scene where they check for approval across like 20 bureaucrats before pressing a button to attack Godzilla.
Love this movie from beginning to end. Thanks for sharing it with more people.
I really liked the naming part to. The prime minister saying "Gojira? What's that?" is so ironic. One of the most famous pieces of Japanese media, and no one knows what Godzilla is lol.
Just cause the meetings have a point, does not mean they are genius or even good for the film. This movie could have been an email.
THANK YOU, I'm glad somebody gets it too
@@fenixchief7The film is a satire of the Japanese government. Just because you want big monster doesn’t mean the film will just focus on big monster
The entire movie is a satire of tge sluggish reaction to the Fukushima Daichi nuclear disaster. The changing nature of the disaster (a tsunami flooded a nuclear reactor causing meltdown, and there might've been an earthquake too) and the slow response inspired Shin's evolution and the nested meetings and insane levels of beureaucracy do deal with him.
I was totally captivated by this depiction of Godzilla as soon as I saw the unblinking eyes. The detail by itself could honestly go either way as a creative choice landing or not, but as a reflection of the catastrophic and accelerated mutation of an aquatic life form, it’s genuinely upsetting. The agonizing evolution forces it from one painful state to the next. It never stops. Every moment is a frantic reaction as it dissolves and forms on top of its own unstable body, both nuclear and natural forces ravaging it and subjecting it to demands it has no chance to even comprehend. What a brilliant, brilliant take on Godzilla.
Pretty sure the director of Shin Godzilla, stated every time Godzilla roars, its because he's in pain. That would make sense too, pay attention to every time he roars, Godzilla looks like he's in complete agony.
I also noticed several times whenever Godzilla mutated and grew, his skin did not. Just looked like his skin was warping and tearing unable to adapt. My partner even told me to imagine it as "a spider trying to molt, but it can't get rid of its skin"
That and when he used his Atomic Breath, it looked a lot more like his inner lining couldn't withstand the heat and he was burning alive from the inside, cause he screeched out his breath until it was empty and passed out
Yeah and the lyrics of the song that plays during his final rampage also imply the pain he is in.
@@Ahhhhh638 "If I die in this world.."
This version of Godzilla was legitimately scary. The meetings was a nice contrast against Godzilla, it showed how useless human plans are against an unstoppable force of nature. Also best energy blast of any Godzilla.
Except Godzilla earth
Specifically the one from the future
it was also a critique on government red tape and slowness to react to emergencies
@@Biollante000 I'm actually watching that trilogy right now, thanks to Roanoke I'm going to watch Shin again afterwards. It's a slog to sit through but I will give the anime credit for its "science." Especially how it interprets Time Dilation: 20 years of wandering in space coming back to Earth to find they were gone 22,000 years.
As for Godzilla himself, it's an interesting concept that an Apex species goes uncontested, grows to the point where it forces the environment to evolve and adapt to it, rather than how Shin adapts to its environment, and could likely surpass it. Moreover Godzilla evolved to the point where its body became a perfect conductor for atomic energy even by roaring or swinging its tail.
@@_GeneralMechanics_ I would say that given 22k years and having shin know the goal of surpassing earth Godzilla, he could probably do it
My friend’s argument was that earth Godzilla would also continue to gain strength for another 22k years, but shin’s rate of rapid evolution is far superior to earth Godzilla’s
The Shin Godzilla Theme is sung in Godzillas perspective, if you look at the lyrics, it goes over what he's feeling and thinking! It's really awesome that they incorporated that in!
Yep! The female vocals are his consciousness, saying how he wants to die and wondering what will happen afterwards, and the male vocals are his survival instincts, pushing him to keep moving forward and live.
Deleted scenes show his blood melting everything it touches. In the movie, they figure out Godzilla is a walking nuclear reactor, and his blood doubles as coolant, travelling through the back fins to radiate away waste heat. This blood gets hot, and by the looks of the deleted scenes, it's safe to say it's as effective, if not more, at cooling than molten sodium. It's liquid at room temperature, and its boiling point exceeds at least 660 Celsius, melting aluminum, bursting tires, and buckling rail tracks.
If any mythical ultraheavy stable super elements exist shin probably has them to function so weird
Stands to reason it would constantly evolve the nuclear reactions going on inside it; could explain why he's able to exist.
I really do love that hinted next form that's shown at the end. With all the constant evolution going on, Godzilla's whole survival mechanism kicked into high gear and decided that surviving as a single entity wasn't an option and so the only logical path was to mirror what beat it, people - a cooperative collective. So it basically went, "I got beat by cooperation? Bet. Imma be cooperation"
I saw a video about his transformations where, if undefeated, he basically becomes a planet, then a galaxy. Like the most incredible Lovecraftian god.
Godzilla became god
@@lunarvisiondo you understand how evolution works?
Watch him getting defeated by a giant alien, his own robot replica and a masked karate bugman in the next movie.
@@wiktorious1627do you understand how fiction works?
Fun fact: Goro Maki is the one who released Godzilla. He was studying a prehistoric lifeform that emerged when investigating the nuclear waste dump site, studied it in a lab, and when he saw what it was going to become, ultimately set it loose. That's why his boat was abandoned in the harbor. "Do as you please, I did."
So.. Shin basically said "You're cool bro, I ain't gonna bother with you"?
No. Goro Maki killed himself by drowning when he jumped into the water from the boat. He even took off his shoes before jumping in. Popular theory is that Godzilla contains some of Maki within his genes when he jumped in to where Godzilla is, and Godzilla just kinda... absorbed his corpse.@@thewood-yl8zy
@@TamaTheKaiju
That's the interpretation I got as well. Maki dropped the creature in the bay and then jumped in to fuse with it. He knew he could gain a new life within the creature rather than die of old age or sitting in a cell facing human punishment for his actions, which likely be labeled biological terrorism given the damage Godzilla would go on to cause.
@@gabrielboorom2683 so what you are saying is that his meddling and fusing with the creature is what caused it to start mutating, forced onto land where it was then mutating to live on land? that is... some wild shit to think about. Also could say there was an ego bit there where he may have thought he could fuse with and control the beast, becoming like a god himself... that didn't turn out too well, now did it?
@@jesseallen3109it's possible he had a god complex motivation for wanting to fuse with the organism that would become Godzilla but I think the general idea was it was going to evolve into a world ending threat no matter what if not contained. Sure, giving it the biomatter of his corpse probably sped things along, but as they say, there's plenty of fish in the sea. He decidedly sealed humanity's fate the moment he dumped it back into the ocean instead of freezing it to death or something. What he does right after tossing it back in is largely inconsequential.
A creature lashing out in pain, punished for evolving and trying to survive. A sad existence, truly.
The shot of Shin Godzilla standing in front of the flaming wall that was Tokyo is really unsettling to me. It's a combination of the heat distorting it's already warped body combined with the really small eyes just glaring forward full of malice. Stuff of nightmares to me.
Godzilla's appearance in this movie is one of the most creative, visceral and unnerving pieces of body horror I've ever seen in a movie. It's a shambling, tumorous mass boiling alive from the inside, the living corpse of a forgotten god. It really is a creature affected by radiation.
Yeah IMO that is one of the creepiest and most disturbing Kaiju I’ve seen 😵💫
It makes me think of Junji Ito’s work.
I love his armless land fish form. It conveys his pain and confusion astonishingly well, and it’s just generally unsettling to look at. Gives me the same unease that liminal space photos have.
I think it's THE best Godzilla film honestly.
I mentioned in another comment thread the idea of Godzilla's final design was inspired by the victims of the nuclear bomb blasts, but one additional interesting detail I recall reading from the first unveiling of the design was the shape of its head was to invoke the image of a mushroom cloud.
His flesh looks exactly like the “elephant foot” in Chernobyl.
I think it’s fascinating how the director used this film to criticize the slow , antiquated and meeting filled response of the government to the nuclear plant disaster at the time in the same fashion as the first Godzilla movie criticized the dropping of the atom bomb during the war.
Keeps it in line with the original film and criticizing America and the use of nuclear weapons.
dont forget it was also a freaking TSUNAMI that caused the damn meltdown, Godzilla is literally perfect for this lol.
Like the Blue Oyster Cult classic says "history shows again and again how nature points up the folly of man."
Exactly, I don't think alot of people get that or just completely forgot about fukushima nuclear disaster.
@@wither5673yes, but there was an immediate solution that the government refused to implement. Just like in the film, where Godzilla could have been stopped early on if they took the threat seriously, the government irl took slow and less effective actions that ultimately caused far more damage than what would have happened if they simply took the threat seriously.
I love the whole explanation for why animals can't get as big as godzilla just to say "godzilla ignores this and gets big af anyways"
I still remember watching this movie for the first time and being absolutely fascinated by this Godzilla. But the moment I saw it's tail in the last scene it genuinely terrified and shook me.
The meetings are actually interesting to me because it seems to draw a direct parallel to the beast itself. And finally when they work as a group to beat it, it begins to split to becomes its own “collective” as it were
Also it is a satire making fun of how Japan gets things done to slowly because of those meetings
@@she_gagssWe need to do something about it. Lets scheldue meeting and talk it over
@@she_gagssI believe every Godzilla movie is chock full of real world parallels; many of them basically about how humanity can suck and we ought to work together or about Japanese politics.
Godzilla as an idea was birthed from nuclear war after all. He's inherently political.
@@kirbyis4ever and the atomic breath. Don't forget that people like the atomic breath, it's one of a kind.
@@kirbyis4ever The Original Godzilla was inspired by the Lucky Dragon #5 incident. Shin was inspired by the Fukishima nuclear disaster. It's just carrying on the tradition.
Kinda felt to me when I watched it that the reason Shin Godzilla was able to support itself on land was that its bones were regenerating. First, barely not fast enough, hence the blood from the gills as its body was being crushed. Then, barely fast enough. Then, faster. Constantly crushing and reforming its own bones.
That's horrifying and also fits appropriate
Those bones in the 4th form must be ridiculously strong then
Yep
I feel like that all the bullets and bombs also had that affect on it, but once again the flesh under the skin just continued to regenerate.
Can't help but remind me of the Time Prison panel from tails gets trolled.
"Every time I move my body, my bones shatter and heal into my next shape. If I take a single step, every bone in my legs splinters and then reforms. I don't know what pain is because I have been alive for 10 million years."
I like how the movie presents the bureaucracy versus a monster that easily adapts, showing how the slow meetings destroyed the early opportunities to finish an opponent that when allowed to grow would become unstoppable.
I really enjoyed this movie.
And, in the movie they explain that Godzilla developed some sort of radar and that's how it destroyed the drone, it wasn't destroyed just by the radiation in the area.
25:26 for anyone wondering, this is actually a precision laser caused by Godzilla to eliminate what it perceives as a threat, so anyone you send in would melt
7:20 its also possible that he was being crushed under his own weight, but adapting/healing so fast that he didnt die from it
This was always my headcanon as well. Problem is that it doesn't melt into pieces the few times it goes dormant.
@@0333aaahe’s still active when dormant, remember he shoots down drones while he’s dormant. My guess is he shuts down certain parts of his body while keeping others active, possibly at a lesser rate
Shin Godzilla was written to be incredibly similar to the original Godzilla. What I mean is it's both a monster movie and a commentary on Japanese society and politics. Shin comments on Japanese bureaucracy, explaning the comical amounts of meetings for meetings.
If it’s Taiwanese they’d be brawling to the point Godzilla would leave Taiwan because it’s a wonky country
@@kaybevang536 Winnie-the-Pooh would like to know your location
I need to see more Godzilla flicks. I've only seen Shin, then the original, and those parallels are very on point
@@DMKleinArts I can definitely recommend them
They're not nearly as thoughtful, for the most part, but they're great fun
Plus, some of the monsters designs and origin stories are really creative and out there
Stand outs for that are Destroyah and Biollante
I really enjoy your profilepic! :)
love the background music is the one used to show the pain of Godzilla. The ethereal choir is his lamenting pain.
25:26, actually, if you pay close attention to the scene, you can see that Godzilla briefly powers up and fires a single, precise laser into the drone and disables it.
The drones being shut down nearby when it was "comatose" wasn't because of the radiation, but because Godzilla was shooting lasers at them. After the US Bombers attacked it, it started to recognize any aicraft as an enemy.
Somewhere, he also developed RADARs and a CIWIs
Even years after watching this movie I still love that part it was unexpected
Shin Godzilla wanted to end the pain but its body reject that idea and go on with the mutation. Not to mention that it's tail is like a separate Entity that has a face and probably a brain and that can act independently.
To anyone who hasn't watched the movie yet the way the Japanese government acts, and the nature of how the humans interact with godzilla via the committees and such... Is actually the directors way of spoofing/calling out the Japanese government on how they handled the fukashima nuclear disaster. Its essentially a what if their government would actually handle a situation like godzilla as apposed to how they should have handled it... strange real fiction if you will.
The original Godzilla reshaped the monster movie concept into the man-made disaster movie genre, and this movie turns the tragedy caused by the bureaucratic nightmare and government incompetence into a polotical satire.
correct, it was a good critism of their emergency procedures. getting frustrated by it kinda works as intended.
@sentinel_nightcrawler It's not fanfiction, this is the director's intention with the film. The point is that their inaction in favor of committee and meetings cost hundreds of lives
@@acidcosmos2001 yeah I accidentally read "fanfiction" there.
Watched a series in the disaster and I thought I was watching shin at first. It’s crazy how they shuffled their feet
7:33 HES SO UGLY! I LOVE HIM!
me asf
i dont know if you noticed it but later in the movie it is mentioned that shin godzilla has an automatic sense as to where flying objects are around him. that's how he was able to hit the bombers and even bombs with startling accuracy and also probably why he nailed the PM's helicopter. thats how he was able to take out that surveillance drone instantly. if you look right before the feed cuts, a light shines from his back. if godzilla was just shooting randomly at the bomber and the bombs, theres no way he could have nailed all of them. definitely not the bombs
I actually like the movie more for those meetings, because it's incredibly realistic. Godzilla's redesign is amazing and was the first adaptation of the creature that actually made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. That's a huge win for the good ol' Big G.
Right so many people hate on it but I think it was perfect for perfectly exemplifing everything wrong with our governments
I also like how the meetings turn this monster movie into a catastrophe movie, showing how actual beaurocracy would slow EVERYTHING down in such a situation, it isn't 2 hours of some actor crying about his dead/scared family with a few minutes of monsters. It is a more realistic govenment taking on an unknown catastrophic organism, making the threat a lot more real, as some comments already said, it is also great how the meetings and staff develope under pressure, parallel to Godzillas own developement
TlDr: i agree, meetings gud.
Agreed, while admittedly the meetings are kind of boring they help the movie feel more unique than most Godzilla movies
@@Cs-cp6vo Funny thing is, I have a book from the 90's about the golden age of the Japanese Film Industry called "Giant Monsters are Attacking Tokyo". It's made up of a bunch of interviews, and one the Western Actors said, the Japanese just loved to put meetings to talk about what was going on in their movies compared to US productions.
It's very similar to all of society, bad stuff happening? Well, we need a meeting to discuss it, put everyone to speed, the next meeting will be on how to solve it, next meeting, an update and how it got worse. Beautiful bureaucracy
My favorite part about shin is how perfectly they made the politicians useless. They had meeting about setting up other meeting. And the only time they actually got their shit together to save themselves from Godzilla was when a large number of the leaders were wiped out and they had one lead that set a plan to be followed. Every time you hate how much time they’re wasting on meetings you’re in the position of the citizens that desperately need the governments aid in the movie
Shin's rapid mutation and adaptation/evolution reminds me of Animorphs - Specifically how the morphing is described in such sickening detail. Bones snapping, organs moving, but that morphing doesn't include the PAIN. Shin's "morphing" is pure agony every second of every change.
I had always assumed that the giant monsters were always either built different biologically with something other than just normal calcium and proteins for bones and muscles. Or have some kind of magic depending on the creature.
Space dragon and lava pterodactyl thing are definitely magic
The very end always gives me chills. Something so creepy about it adapting into a horde of human like creatures, which would be 1000% more effective in actually taking us all out than its previous forms. The fact they stopped it JUST in time, without even realizing what was about to happen, gets me every time.
I once saw a video here on RUclips that came up with an interesting match up of The Thing and Shin Godzilla. What happens when a hostile alien lifeform that absorbs and takes over any lifeform it comes into contact with, versus a constantly evolving creature that adapts to every hostile changes in its environment or threats it faces.
@@_GeneralMechanics_for the love of god, please tell us where to find that video because it sounds fascinating and terrifying
@@_GeneralMechanics_ Wow sounds like a good match 🥊
I wonder if they did actually stop it in time
@@_GeneralMechanics_instantly I came to the conclusion that shin Godzilla adapts to not be replaced by the thing and the thing does what it can to assimilate but either dies from the extreme environment that is shin godzillas body or adapt to just be apart of shin Godzilla and assimilate itself into the colony.
Overall, I think it would lead to a symbiosis relationship as Godzilla adapts to be basically uneffected by the thing. Other than that I assume the thing cells would allow Godzilla to not just evolve new changes but now create new limbs and pieces of itself on command since the thing seems to have full access to its own molecules.
I don’t think either would be able to take over the other, Godzilla prolly wouldn’t even notice the thing and Godzilla evolves too fast in unstable environments for the thing to keep up and if it did I don’t think it would be able to take over Godzilla as a host.
Every cell being an extremaphile actually makes so much sense when you watch the deleted scene where they find the flesh piece with eyes and teeth growing. Anyways, thank you for explaining the movie essentially. It’s a hard movie to wrap your head around the first time watching.
It’s also possible that shin Godzilla skin as a shock absorber later. Similar to have a new world order tanks have an electro regenerative shock absorber built into the armor. The shockwave is absorbed are used to charge the railgun capacitor. As a result shooting the tank allows it to increase its rate of fire on high power setting. Because shin Godzilla is a metaphor for the New World Order it makes a lot of sense that it would have the biological equivalent of this.
@@alwynwatson6119dude what 😅
It's a conspiracy. I don't know how, but somehow, the Japanese movie industry knows about it. They want to replace capitalism with innovationism. A woke Ideology designed to adapt to change by creating ever better versions of self. That way, it can get even better at meeting people's cultural specifications. Even more terrifying, it will sometimes adapt to changes before they happen. Just like the first Godzilla was made to warn people about nukes and communism, this Godzilla was made to warn everyone about something even worse: fusion space lasers and innovationism. The Swiss are as good at making space lasers as they are at making watches.

For anyone curious, the extensive meetings in the movie are a criticism of how the Japanese government is too bloated with bureaucracy to respond to evolving threats. It's a long-form joke of showing meeting after meeting constantly being behind the threat, never able to deal with godzilla.
We should organise some sort of gathering to attempt to deal with bureaucracy, perhaps we could have various experts and politicians attend and meet..... oh.
The lyrics in Godzilla's theme are genuinely haunting, as it gives implications to some form of sentience, that lost control of it's body through one of it's many evolutions and is now just stuck watching actions happen around and to it but having no control as well each action trigger more evolution thus more pain...
Not to say it is self aware nor feels grief or happiness or any emotion at destruction/actions, just that it's a consciousness being dragged around in an autonomous body that will never let it die. (Also adds more feeling to each time the camera zooms in on it's eyes, as if that's the consciousness' pinhole view of a world of pain, pain, and more pain, as well pain.)
Eventually, Godzilla stopped thinking.
Eventually, Godzilla became an extreme masochist.
I always figured what drove shin to go to Tokyo was the will of the professor they were hunting down. Since they likely fused or he was eaten at the beginning on the boat.
@@thesuperslayer7864 Same!
Being conscious specifically means being self aware though 🤓
Finally- somebody who openly acknowledges that current, existing military ordinance would be entirely capable of easily destroying even kaiju-level threats. Thank you. I have always dreamed of seeing a giant monster movie where, after like an hour and a half of destruction, discussion, and hesitation, the military just fires a bunker buster and kill it with a single shot. And then everybody just goes, "huh. Probably should have done that a million lives ago..."
Shin Godzilla feels how people saw 1950’s Godzilla.
The meetings are legitimately one of the best parts of this film. Anno taking the piss out of Japanese centralization was one of the biggest points of the film, and is honestly hilarious at times.
Maybe if you're a weaboo who has nothing better to do than be obsessed with Japan. Anyone else it's just fucking boring
The entire movie is a parody? Of a disaster that hit the cost of Japan each of shins forms is meant to be representing a part of the disaster
And the human side of the movie is ment to represent the slow reaction of the Japanese government compounding the problems of the disaster
25:25 Apparently they are destroyed not because of the radiation, but because apparently Godzilla developed a form of radar to accurately track air targets after his encounter with the bombers. His body subconsciously deemed the drone a threat, and so he shot it down with a beam (you can see a flash of light from one of Shin's dorsal fins the moment before the feed cuts out).
Great video as always.
This comment is cool asf lmaoo
This is correct, I made another comment saying exactly this
Shin put a whole new meaning on “sleep with one eye open”
What the fuck? Is organic radar even possible?
Like how bats emit soundwaves and use them to track their prey, I'm pretty sure a giant creature that has a biological nuclear reactor could also create an organic radar to destroy any threats.
How has this become a comfort video for me?? I can't get enough of this channel 😂♥
If Kamata-kun and Shinagawa-kun's faces are faces that only a mother could love, then I am RuPaul.
I liked the meetings, because their tediousness was the point. It's accurate to how 2016 modern day Japan, and probably most modern day governments, would react to something like Godzilla for the first time- outright denying the possibility, wasting time moving from one meeting room to another to continue the conversation, passing responsibility around, and nobody committing to one conclusion or the other on the off chance that they're wrong and look dumb until the problem is already a good few hours into ruining everyone else's shit and is already on the internet.
Normally I'm not a fan of the "it's bad/boring/etc. on purpose, that's the point", but I think this movie manages to get that "boring and tedious" feeling across while also making it engaging, and it's mostly thanks to the tension of the looming threat, and the way the scenes are shot. The movie has some great cinematography that keeps even the most boring scenes engaging to the viewer.
And hell, the tension is pretty good too. Just the military operations where the heli pilots have to hold off on the operation because civies are in the way was an interesting and fairly grounded perspective on something like this. It was just a big shoot out to have something on screen.
@@PANCAKEMINEZZ Oh yeah, the meetings where thongs actually get done or something is actually discovered are super engaging, or the ones happening while Godzilla's destruction is going on and the tension going through those scenes are amazing.
It's in direct contrast to the early meeting scenes, which are basically the director pointing out how the Japanese government were too slow to respond to the Fukushima reactor disaster because of how much of the early response was just people blaming each other and going to meetings and taking too long to respond- kinda like how the OG movie was inspired by the Lucky Dragon 5 incident with Castle Bravo. That's why the early scenes were filmed to be tedious and frustrating- because instead of acting as soon as they saw a problem, or at least acted sooner instead of passing blame and navigating red tape, they just wasted time that could have been spent doing something helpful like in later scenes.
It's also (intentionally or not) in almost direct contrast to how it's handled in the OG 1954 Godzilla. The officials are understandably skeptical at first but once they get more evidence they're on top of Godzilla almost immediately and actively trying to find and discuss solutions and whether they should take Godzilla alive or dead. Granted they still needed Serizawa to actually do anything to Godzilla, but they were still far more active early on compared to Shin Godzilla and the contrast is noticable.
this was longer than I intended so if you made it down here you're cool and thank you
yeah it's actually a message to how actual japan would treat a crisis like this
it was part of the story telling because of the message the director and producer wanted to give
I'm especially a big fan of how the meetings are depicted in this movie because it criticize the the absolute buffoonary that is the Japanese government during the Fukushima incident that turned a completely preventable event into one of the worst disaster the country has ever faced
Idk i think america at the least would bomb the shit out of it pretty quickly.
Correction: the 5th form was forming AFTER Shin froze. There’s a scene after the coagulant with nothing coming from the tail and then the last scene with them. He’s evolving while frozen. It’s showing that he’s not truly done and will thaw.
They should make a second movie
That's wrong-
The point of showing that scene shows that shin was almost completed his 5th form which is a making human looking alien
But luckily the humans frosted shin right in time before he could make more destruction with his humanoid minions
@@firemash11 when he was frozen, you get a good full look. No humanoids. On the final shot they’re shown. It shows what’ll happen once he defrosts and that he’s not completely stopped while frozen. Quite ominous knowing he was evolving while frozen.
@@SweetieEvie ah good point.

@@firemash11 I wish. He has several forms drawn that would be so OP.
That video was awesome dude good jooob!
“how many tax dollars do i have to throw at it until i feel safe again?” lmaooooo
Slight correction: The small versions at the end started to form a while after he was frozen. In the shots right after he got frozen his tail was still normal. And I think the reasoning behind this was, that he got beaten by a committee so he's becoming one himself
Do you think instead of "Persecution of the Masses," their theme music would be another "Decisive Battle" remix too?
next installment we will see 1 hour of human-gojira doing useless bureaucracy before the main gojira decides that he has had enough and walks towards the next capital of his choice
@@piscessoedroen *PLAYS DECISIVE BATTLE ON A KAZOO*

So you're telling me the mini-gojis saw the value of meetings and so will combat humanity through meetings?
An interesting concept of seeing Shin Godzilla rapidly evolving to his 'regular' form over the case of the movie rather than being fully formed from the start. The footage of his early form sliding down the streets with his bulging fish eyes gives strong 'Kill me now!' energy, which if he is in constant pain is no surprise.
It always amuses me that Godzilla tends to be shown with massive thighs (Oh lord, he coming), likely just to keep his massive body upright. The scene of him breathing fire and then finally firing his atomic breath/beam looks awesome too, making it clear just how powerful he is.
The design theory for the creature was inspired by victims of a nuclear blast. The blackened burnt skin, cracks of exposed glowing hot tissue, even the way his arms are useless and positioned to appear like it's in constant agony.
And, to be fair, looking at its size, it gonna need them thighs just to walk around.
That would be over the course of the movie....
"After years of being a gamer" 💀
Fascinating discussion! So many layers to the movie I did not realize existed!
Godzilla is one of those rare franchises where you can adequately have philosophical discussions about the nature of man, war and existence and also completely ignore that and enjoy giant monsters suplexing each other into buildings.
Something really fascinating is that I believe there was either concept art or some sort of unofficial art that depicts Shin’s blood falling on unfortunate civilians, and actually melting their flesh off. It makes sense if in the earlier stage that Shin’s blood is his main cooling method, although I do question how boiling blood would actually work.
The blood itself only became a cooling mechanism when it evolved to survive on land. The water itself was the coolant before it could even fire its atomic breath.
Depending on the temperature and how much pressure the blood is under while still in the body it might not actually boil until it exits the body. The higher the pressure the hotter the liquid needs to be to actually boil.
Interesting note-While Godzilla’s body grows, his eyes do not. They stay the same size as his first form throughout the film.
that makes perfect sense too, visual acuity is largely determined by the absolute size of the eye, and since godzillas eyes were already larger than on any land animal known to have ever existed, it could easily see perfectly the way it was, especially since reptilian eyes are generally also more advanced than in most mammals.
Mammals eyes never grow.
That's why babies, puppies, and kittens(amd as far as I'm aware most infant mammals) have that adorable "baby eyed" look.
As they grow older their skull forms around their eyes until they're actually scaled to what they appear to be in adulthood.
No clue if that has anything to do with the choices in the movie. But just a fun fact I've heard that popped into my head reading this.
@@nignamedmutt7270 The same goes for most birds as well.
You are my favorite YT channel now. So awesome.
For clarification, digitigrade and plantigrade refer to the amount of bones in the leg that touch the ground while walking, not the angle of the leg in relation to the pelvis. For example, deer, dogs, cats, and most dinosaurs (birds included) walk on their toe bones, "digits," with their heels and metatarsal/carpals lifted off the ground making them digitigrade, while humans, bears, and marsupials walk on their heels, "flatfooted," hence plantigrade. It makes more sense when you look at analogous leg bone diagrams. Godzilla's shift from pronate to prostrate walking stance does not necessarily mean there was a shift from plantigrade to digitigrade, (as i don't even know if it has bones to begin with).
Literally the best Godzilla story line we never got enough of.
Only 1 of og and Only 1 of shin.. aint that a bitch.
A little bit after this movie came out, I watched a review from a RUclipsr I follow who teaches about the history of Japanese culture. They’ve even lived and taught in Japan, so I trust most of their viewpoints. Anyway, the main takeaway from their review was that, while so many people were complaining about ALL THE MEETINGS, it was frustratingly funny for him because that’s LEGIT HOW THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT WORKS!
Since this was the first international release of a Japanese Godzilla we’ve had in awhile, I imagine some of the thinking behind it was ‘How would Japan react if Godzilla did actually happen?’
Hang on…you on about GaijinGoomba?
@@nathanx2000. yeah, I am!
I don't know why people would complain. The meetings were genuinely interesting and entertaining to me because it was interesting to see the people struggling against the bureaucracy and also trying to figure out how to stop this unprecedented natural disaster on legs. Plus I recall strategy and science meetings always being a core part of each Godzilla film.
@@nathanx2000. We don't see much about gaijins here.
Shin Godzilla was my introduction to Godzilla made me love everything about film making, the pedestrian shots from indoors the horror from the noises coming from the unknown monster.
Funny how frustrated you get over the meetings 😂 that’s literally one of the major points to the movie
The drones weren't killed by radiation, but the fact that even when in a coma, Godzilla had a kind of radar sense and would hit any movement it detected with a pinpoint laser from its back. You can see the flash come from his dorsal plates right before it goes black at 25:27
in the version I have it was called a phased-arrary radar or something akin to that.
He probably still has abilities we haven’t seen and the fact he does this is insane and I love it
Sachiel from Neon Genesis Evangelion (the angel in episode 1) has the same ability
You my friend are a smart guy
sooo why did those lasers not hit the humans, was it because of plot
I love this version of Godzilla, it's so unsettling that it's just a creature that rapidly adapts to it's surroundings or to defend itself.
This was so in-depth. Kudos. And yes, this film is a great representation of how everything happens in Japan. Insane amount of seemingly pointless meetings.
27:51 hey that's me
yo
Godzilla’s initial form was actually a species of lungfish. If you want more details, there’s some concept art for it floating around out there of it and it’s actually pretty cool.

The meetings add a whole level of humanity to the movie it's mesmerizing.
People in disasters don't just tear out their suits and go lift a crumbling building to save people, they have a meeting and decide how to allocate resources to the current threat.
Also, it's slow and bureaucratic, as other commenters mentioned.
The idea of one of them ripping their suits off, flexing then saving people from rubble is hilarious
I mean the movie itself is a criticism of japans reaction to the Fukushima disaster, apparently Japan was stuck in meetings than doing what actually needs to be done

This makes the anticipation for Godzilla Minus One so much greater, I saw side by side of GZ 1954 and -1 looks to be a scene for scene Recreation using modern tech to fulfill the original vision.

So, did you like it?
@gasterthemaster6490 it was most excellent, and then again in the B&W re-release. Highly recommend
Fun fact: Hideaki Anno’s vision for this incarnation of Godzilla was to have him evolve to the point of becoming an Eldritch being kind of like Azathoth where he basically feeds on an entire universe inside himself.
They kept that motivation for Singular Point's version I see.
This is misinformation.
That...sounds like Anno. At least there's no weird sexual fetishism in this one.

9:30 His theme once translated show his side of the story; and how he is just a scared and hurting animal not understanding why things he can’t see keep trying to hurt him more, it’s rather heartbreaking.
that IS heartbreaking.
That is rather sad when you think about it. I mean, literally scared, barely can see. In constant and excruciating pain, yeah. Oh, let's not forget about the fact that them. Having a unstable form essentially also means the constant adaptation, which considering how stressful molting is for animals, I could only imagine how stressed the poor thing was. But of course, humans are scared of that which we don't understhanks. So when we find it, we either try to kill it or Drive it off both of which is going to harm the creature.
It finds the light though! It may abate it's pain by burning away humanity or by that song "the darkness killing me".
If i were to add, the theme is called “who will know” and its all english, but operatically done. Its from godzilla’s perspective.
And its interesting to note that the song was done by two sets of vocals. A high female voice and a deep male choir. Somebody broke down that song n mentioned that the female voice was Gman voicing his suffering and confusion, while the male voice is Gman voicing that he has no other choice n did what he had to do to survive.
And yes, it was a very heartbreaking song.
It's not sympathetic at all.
"I'm in constant agony, oh woe is me, let me wander into the place where people keep hurting me and then act surprised when those people keep hurting me."
It makes Shin come across as *incredibly* stupid and whiny.
Please please do a part 2. This was incredibly fascinating
Alternative title: "Scientifically accurate godzilla"
the full evolutionary line of shin is insane and the movie was apparently supposed to show more of it's evolution but as it was becoming more and more horrifying because of the mutations the director kept it to just 4 but apparently by it's final form shin was supposed to get to cosmic horror levels of horrifying power
I mean it IS the creator of Evangelion

The movie itself was supposed to be an allegory on how the bureaucracy inside the Japanese government affects critical decision making when it comes to disaster response. It was made at a time relatively soon after the disastrous 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, which caused the subsequent Fukushima nuclear disaster. Hence, there are a lot of long government meeting sequences in the movie to drive a point.
And Fuko only got cleaned up because the US Military stepped in (Nuclear Regulatory)
The channel guy is just b*tching and b*tching throughout the whole video, making himself more annoying than the meeting scenes of the movie are to him.

Temperature is also a big factor of animal size, this is why there were so many megafauna during the last ice age, they could naturally expend more heat due to the cold environment. Modern elephants are really just some of the last living members of a large family of pachyderms from that time period, including mammoths.
Also they have these Big ears precisely to get rid of the heat , if the atmosphere was cooler they wouldn't have such big ears
@@ulforcemegamon3094and a tail that looks like a tumor grew hair
I'm learning a lot today.
this logic falls apart for the dinosaurs who lived in a much much hotter world.
@@AbsurdAsparagus it's still true, it's just not the ONLY reason animals can be big, for dinosaurs it was probably just natural selection, as prey got bigger, so did the predators. Their hollow bones is also probably a factor, they didn't weigh as much as you might expect an animal that size to weigh.
For another example of different reasons animals can be big, bugs during the carboniferous period were much larger due to the oxygen content in the air. Their size let them absorb more of it.
It's kinda sad that he is in CONSTANT pain, possibly by the radiation that has been eroding his body, to the forced and VERY quick evolution that is being pushed onto him. If humans were to just IMMEDIATELY start stretching and growing over the course of a day from 4ft to 6ft the pain we'd undergo would excoriating. Same with Godzilla, his cells, his body and all his dna structure is NOT allowing him to die, so even when he's close to death, it's keeping him alive and evolving him to suit the environment that he is in. Which means rapid change, pressure that his body is trying to fight against and all you have is constant and consistent pain that you CANNOT escape no matter what.
It seems with Shin Godzilla all the shit that he does up til around the ending, it was just a by-product of his mutations, like his Atomic Breath, it seems that his nuclear energy was so high that his body HAD to eject it somehow, and so it turned into his Atomic breath as that was the fastest way to disperse the energy without damage or harm to him.
Later Shin just starts to do it as a survival instinct against humans that are constantly attacking him. I think the more he was growing to his final form the less pain he felt and the more "conscious" he became of his actions and was able to regain control over himself and finally act on his own and not out of fear or out of pain, simply just wanting to survive and not die and reacting to any and every threat. An interesting take on Godzilla himself.
It’s sadder that ppl irl can have that problem too. There are real ppl in varying lvls of constant pain
Sounds somewhat like Hisashi Ouchi. 83 days of wanting to die and stop the pain from radiation poisoning. Just agony. :(

Damn, changing its features from reptilian to piscean in the early stages really took Gojira from cool monster to absolutely terrifying.
I loved this take on Godzilla. Really harkens back to the original film being a cautionary tale about the dangers of nuclear waste
Not nuclear waste but bomb.
Not waste, but nuclear warfare/atomic weapons. But yes, Shin did return to the darker and more somber tone of Gojira.
This was very well made and entertaining.
this is the first video ive seen of yours and as a marine biologist i think this is such a cool channel
It's worth noting that Godzilla's "children" would still be absolutely massive. The tail is a pretty hot topic so you can find close ups on Google Images, specifically the models they used for the tail that are floating around. The tail actually starts to diverge as seperate life forms as early as the scene where he makes his first appearence in his 4th form, but the tail is out of focus so you need the movie in like 4K to zoom in on it. It's also a lot less developed and they seem to have a variety of models where it spindles out over time.
Also, the tail beam emits from a mouth of one of the, while larger, small monsters. The anti-air system in the spine is likely on a similar route but much less developed as of the movie's end. Due to shot composition, there isn't any clear-cut images of his back in good lighting, but I assume there is likely a mass number of some form of jaw structures which would open or close as needed.
The mouth in his tail is from a concept of Shin Godzilla literally splitting in two to create two Godzillas, there is a pretty good video that summarizes each form concept and what lead up to the movie.
Considering this movie was directed by the guy who made Evagelion I'm surprised by the end Godzilla wasn't a pure lovecraftian horror by the last act. He actually restrained himself.
Or him spreading himself like a more grotesque Armisael
Actually that was a scrapped idea for a second film
According to another review, that WAS in the plans for this movie, but while Toho was swayed into having some of the extra forms by Bandai, they weren't willing to budge when it came to the humanoid form. They felt that it would be too different and alienate long time fans of the IP. Which I say boo, Let the man give us unfathomable shape-shifting abominations in all their forms dammit. D:
Godzilla was becoming something more. But it was scrapped, although you do get to see what was the next step in his evolution would have at the last scene when he's frozen. Look at what was coming from his tail.
No, Toho restrained him
the shin godzilla movie: 90% meetings 10% Shin Godizlla
From Daisy and I, cracking vid, Would love a part two, too!
In the movie they putright state that the blood being flushed from the gills is used to cool the body. Because it has a nuclear metabolism, and was no longer being constantly cooled by the water surrounding it and flowing theough its gills, it needed to vent off the superhot, radioactive bodily fluids to prevent a literal meltdown
I assume that Godzilla's ability to deal with force impact would probably be layered absorption. A hard outer layer to stop penetration, followed by layers that are basically sacrificial underneath intended to be damaged so that important parts further down are safe. He'd probably sustain some genuine damage based on where the hits landed, but probably not nearly enough that he couldn't heal.
Yeah, in reality this was just to look cool and ignore physics, but I can easily come up with a headcannon for that, the damage just got transfered perfectly to all of the area around the impact and quickly heal right after
The New World Order solve this problem with electro regenerative shock absorbers. So because shin Godzilla is a metaphor for the new world order It probably just absorbs The energy and uses it to grow faster. Kind of like how firing on a new world order thank all just helped kill you faster .
Well, clearly those two bombs fell on his back were alarming enough for him to become defensive with the laser, some of his organs must've suffered some damage from that attack.
