Monster Discussion #17: Baragon (Showa)

[Tom Servo]

^
Just out of curiosity, have you watched Frankenstein vs. Baragon?

Yep its a good movie not great but good.

[Godzilla1703]

like this Baragon its better than GMK Baragon by powers, its not better than GMK Baragon by design

[Space Hunter M]

I Like the Showa design better than the GMK, but I wish they didn't give him a beam weapon.

Wasn't it implied that he uses it predominantly for tunneling only? Not much of a weapon, is it.

[RogueShuffler]

Personally Baragon is up there with Anguirus and King Caesar as the coolest kaiju, Godzilla aside of course. I would like to see Baragon come back one of these days and have a little more screen time than GMK, I felt like they just wiped him out because he is such a lesser known/used character. He could have been really fleshed out and important to the story but oh well. Cant decide between the Showa or GMK version though, theyre both pretty cool lookin.

I wish Baragon had more to do in the Showa series, but that would mean replacing Anguiris and Gorosaurus in some of their most memorable parts. He's a pretty nifty little kaiju.
Does anyone know why Baragon has such a huge fanbase in Japan like Anguiris does here?

1. He's cute.
2. He appeared in Dragon Ball.

If Baragon is ever used again, do you want to see him brought back as a friend or a foe? I wouldn't mind seeing his heat beam brought back.

[Godzilla1703]

freins and yes it would be nifty to see him have a beam

I believe Baragon has potential to be a formidable foe for Godzilla. His underground abilities can give the Big G a run for his money, not to mention he's a decent tooth n claw fighter. Wouldn't mind him to be Godzilla's opponent in LPG.
Though i wouldn't mind if he was an ally.

Ah. I see now.

You know, since Baragon uses his flame breath in digging, how does he not run out of oxygen because of the flames while underground?

I'm not sure he uses fire to dig. I haven't even seen him do that.

What do you mean by that? Baragon looked perfectly fine to me.

[Space Hunter M]

I'm not sure he uses fire to dig. I haven't even seen him do that.

Have you watched Frankenstein vs. Baragon?

He does do that? Then i'm not sure how he doesn't run out of oxygen.

[Space Hunter M]

I wouldn't say it's fire, more of a generic "Heat-Ray" so to speak, so I don't think he would need oxygen.

Woa dude he was in Dragon Ball? Thats sick what episode was that?

[Giga Kaiju]

^ I Think He is Seen in the intro of Dragon Ball Z and some episodes (Dont Remember which) but yeah he has appeared on the
series and Yeah Baragon Could be a Formidable Opponent to Godzilla either in the Franchise or in the Upcoming Movie
i would like to see him more often.

[shinmattiathekaiju]

Baragon is a pretty peculiar monster(despite the silly look on his face and the floppy ears oh, and the beam that does nothing!),i like how they made him ferocius by eating people,chickens,pigs and a toy horse.
And he is also a dwarf compared to the other monsters(only 25 meters tall).

With that said,i still like GMK Baragon more.

[Killswitch]

^They can always increase Baragon's size.

[Giga Kaiju]

^They can always increase Baragon's size.

In The Upcoming movie they could make Baragon Re-appear and if he does being same or a little smaller than Godzilla
like a Contrary of him or like when Rodan First Appeared (size wise) In GTTHM.
