Sadly, he never got the chance to do it since the trains finally executed their 62 year-long plan of revenge.

Also, I noticed that some of the original concept art pieces for Godzilla’s first form did look very whale-like in appearance. There was definitely a lot of wacky, cool concepts flying around at the time.
I believe this is unused concept art right? Wacky and cool indeed!

I think I'm pretty okay with that, even if Shin is my favourite Godzilla film of all time.

Re: Shin Godzilla - The General Discussion Thread
I wonder: if any one of these concept designs were officially finalized as the design to go with for the film, would Anno and Higuchi have still gone motion-capture CGI, or would they instead have taken the classic tokusatsu ‘Man in Suit’ technique?

Re: Shin Godzilla - The General Discussion Thread
I know I may have said this somewhere before, but it won't hurt anybody if I said it again. I perfectly understand that this movie was both critically and financially successful. I also understand that most of you really like this movie. My point is that despite all that, it should NOT have to dictate everything Godzilla-related going forward in the foreseeable future.

Re: Shin Godzilla - The General Discussion Thread
I agree wholeheartedly. Shin was a special film. It's very different take on Godzilla, and deals with it's subject matter brilliantly. It would cheapen Shin to copy-paste aspects of it to other Godzilla stuff just to cash in. I'm very excited for Singular Point but when I found out thatLegendZilla wrote: ↑Sun May 23, 2021 4:41 pm I know I may have said this somewhere before, but it won't hurt anybody if I said it again.

Re: Shin Godzilla - The General Discussion Thread
Nope! Just fanart of what the possible flying Shin would look like. (artist) Gives off a strong concept art vibe due to the style, though, looks like it was scanned right out of a page.

Re: Shin Godzilla - The General Discussion Thread
I mean, I don't think it has? Yes, Toho has gone weird and different experimenting since, but in different ways. The anime trilogy went it's own way, SP looks like it's different in it's own way, the new ride has a more traditional Godzilla, Godziban and Chibi Godzilla are definitely different from Shin, and other that there hasn't been much else. A commercial featuring a replica of the 1954 suit, a cameo/guest spot in some train mecha movie with a new Snow Godzilla, and for Shin there was the vs NGE ride and like some kind of new museum video and zipline ride. So while I would say Shin is not going away any time soon, it's far from dictating all recent Japanese Godzilla content even now never mind the future.LegendZilla wrote: ↑Sun May 23, 2021 4:41 pm I know I may have said this somewhere before, but it won't hurt anybody if I said it again.

I recently saw some tests of Shin running around, and slithering on his tail.
They were... kinda freaky. I wonder how that would have changed things.

Oh so he kind of jumped up and used his tail to hold him up for a bit of a spinny thing.

Re: Shin Godzilla - The General Discussion Thread
The tail slither is hilarious, and I love how the video shifts tonally with music. However, like everyone else, I get why it wasn't used. It's certainly interesting though. I like how the tail plays big part of Shin, but got severely axed and cut. Ironically though, a lot of people say that Shin is too slow; well now we know he can be a fast boy too.
