Giant Eagle?

Post by Young Guy »

So the condor in Godzilla's Revenge was actually an eagle this whole time despite it being just stock footage of the condor? Is this really a different character?

Toho can say what they want about it, but stock footage is stock footage... to me, it's just the same thing.

Plus, Godzilla's Revenge takes place during a kid's imagination! ;)

This is dumber than the GINO vs ZILLA thing. As Alex said in another topic, at least those two have different footage, this is literally the same footage so we didn't even know this was a thing till decades later.

Y'know, just exactly HOW did we find out about the Eagle's existence?

Pretty sure Arbok just checked some recent Godzilla-related publications and the official Japanese site, and that was good enough :P Really, it makes absolutely no sense, and I love it. Creating an entirely new monster out of stock footage might be one of the most unusual origin stories I've ever heard.

On the one hand its so stupid it should just be ignored.

On the other hand its too stupid to not ignore.

It's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. I don't consider it a different character. It's stock footage. Plus, there can only be one.

The Giant Eagle is literally Ichiro's brainchild.

It's not the Ginat Condor! It's my totally different OC the Giant Eagle.
I can't believe that Godzilla was the only surviving member of its species, but if we continue conducting nuclear tests, it's possible that another Godzilla might appear somewhere in the world again.

It has a slightly larger wingspan but weighs the same.
Condor has more body fat.
Giant Eagle is superior.

I don't know about any official publications, since there's no citation, but the Japanese Wikipedia page for Ebirah: Horror from the Deep does say that the Giant Condor from Godzilla's Revenge is called "Giant Eagle" (大ワシ).

It's not an eagle. It looks like a condor, it sounds like a condor, and taste like a condor. It's taste good smoked, too.
I've got a good mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it.

Then expect something that's fiercer, more cruel, and deadly than anything that's walked the Earth.
