Hey hey hey, I'd like to say that this "leak" says that Mothra is still in an egg. The Monarch Timeline debunked this before it was even a thing.
Technically it says a cocoon which could have been a previous Mothra.
Why would they hint at a different Mothra than what appears in the film? That makes no sense.
They hint is that they found where Mothra is located. If all Mothra went to a temple to cocoon and lay eggs then that is all the timeline is saying. I feel it's better than Mothra needing years to metamorph personally.

I mean, if both of these elements are infact true, and remain, this movie is probably going to be split down the middle. You'll either love it, or flat out hate it.
IF the bowing did turn out to be true, I honestly don't think it would be as cringy as some people are thinking :shrug:
Same. I don’t believe for one second they are bowing down like people would.

I think they are probably just showing submission to him like animals would.

If not though, then Godzilla help me.

Well, the dude's exact words are "The other Titans show up see Godzilla as the alpha Titan and literally bow to him." I know the word "literally" gets thrown around a lot, but this guy seems like he meant it.

If that's what the timeline was saying, it would've said that. It said they found a cocoon. They were hinting at one Mothra, not where all Mothras go to cocoon and lay their eggs. And why would they not include the already full grown Mothra anyway? Why go through the trouble of having a new Mothra be born only to get scared and then immediately go and make a cocoon? It just makes no sense.

I don’t remember seeing this
This was supposedly what the OP said(guy on 4chan) after being questioned more about the scene. On Reddit someone typed that.

Also @ Dr Professor

Assuming this guy isn’t just a liar maybe he really misconstrued the bowing scene just as bad as he did Ghidorah being eaten? Maybe I’m completely delusional but surely it can’t be that bad can it?

I love the idea of Godzilla resting near the underwater ruins of a civilization that once worshiped him.

I very much consider TFA to be half-assed. What a generic film which only fed on nostalgia, it brought nothing new to the table.
That's not true. C3PO had a red arm.

To be honest with all the swearing the 4 chan leaker could be using be using literally wrong. He calls Vera Frimga Bitch the entire review.

The big reason I want the 4chan leak to be true is how many new monsters will join the monsterverse.

I don't see how swearing often correlates with using a word wrong. I mean yeah, he came off incredibly unprofessional (not that he needed to be professional about it anyway) but since they're monsters and not people, I feel like you wouldn't say "literally bow" if they weren't literally bowing. But Idk, I can't speak for this guy so I could be wrong.

There will probably be new monsters anyway, since Dougherty himself said that he had to design more monsters than our initial four.

Not sure why people have an issue with Bowzilla. I mean bowing is a strong Japanese tradition so it links in nicely there.

Right, but these are monsters, not humans. The monsters aren't really anthropomorphisized in this universe so it would just feel out of place.

Now that we're in a spoiler thread.

Smaugdorah has ruined my fucking month. I did not wait nearly a decade to see Ghidorah on the big screen in CGI just to get another boring hollywood wyvern.

I'm about to jump ship from Hollywood monster movies entirely. Americans can't understand the concept of "unique designs" anymore. All they can do is copy/paste their previous shit a thousand times over.

This is how I felt when they gave Godzilla such a reptilian body, and the face of a bear in the first film. Really wanted him to have a reptilian head design. Oh well. Least now there's hope for Rodan and Ghidorah (for me at least).

Early in the "leak" he states that Ghidorah can regenerate. Then later he says that Godzilla begins to eat Ghidorah alive, but then, his exact words, "Ghidorah is trying to come out from his mouth, but Godzilla uses atomic breath, killing him for good." This is just my opinion, but it sounds like he was saying Ghidorah straight up began to regenerate in Godzilla's body. He initially says that Godzilla eats him, and then uses his atomic breath to finish him off. I honestly think the things he says are so different from each other that there's no way he worded it wrong, and he's just lying.

Spoiler:
You're missing some info, because the OP of the leak clarified a bunch of stuff in the leak thread. Godzilla does something that seemingly kills Ghidorah, but then the audience is misled into thinking he survived when his head rises from some rubble. In actuality it's just his head/neck in Godzillas mouth, trying to regenerate, who then blast it to bits with atomic breath. That's when Godzilla eats what's left in his mouth.

I actually do believe the leak, but what I think he’s saying is that the even those two descriptions while not necessarily contradictory, are still a bit far apart and confusing when compared with each other. It seems like it would have been incredibly easy to describe what you have you just said in your spoiler tag.

I am not trying to insult the leaker if he does in fact have integrity, but If it’s real he did a pretty bad job with his description imo. Perhaps English is not his first language?

Idk. I’m just trying to speculate and be fair to both sides really.

That's exactly what I was saying. And honestly, I'm not trying to say that there's no way this is real. I'm just nowhere near convinced, and I never will be convinced unless the actual movie proves me wrong.

Well, now I know that leak is fake, as there's no way in hell there is a completed score of any kind this early. Unless it was temp music from another source, which is likely as that's the norm for films these days.
