Technically, Godzilla vs Mothra would've been Mothra vs Bagan again since the latter was slated for 1990.

What exactly are the rules of Bagan War? Does it fall under the Geneva Convention?

IDK man Bagan had a far more dignified defeat in that script than Godzilla got in the original film.

Re: Best And Worst Official Kaiju Redesigns
Wait, does this count? Eh, screw it...
Ultraman the Next. It's not actually Ultraman but in the context of that film, it is so I'm counting it as a redesign. Personally, I'm not a huge fan. The concept of Ultraman having biological armor is fine but I feel they went a bit too far with it. I especially don't like what they did to his head shape. I will admit the elbow blades and Color Timer expy look cool, though.
And that was just Junis. Don't even get me started on Anphans.

I agree 1000%. I hope we see the GMK Anguirus design in a future film.

Re: Best And Worse Official Kaiju Redesigns
I dunno, Bagan gets carried off kicking and screaming by Mothra after being doused by her poison scales, then gets wrapped up by Mothra Larva's webbing (as is the norm with the Larva fights). At least he got a chance to punt Mothra Larva like a football.
Still, agreed with a previous post or 2, Mothra's design from Mothra vs. Bagan has an elegant look to it, and the flexibility of her wings would've been a sight to see. She still looks great as fluffy as she is in GvsM1992, but not a fan of those weird chicken legs.

Least Bagan was beaten by mother and child Mothra, with the mother having to give her life to help finish the job. Godzilla just got wrapped and bagged by two babies.GigaBowserG wrote: ↑Sat Aug 21, 2021 12:41 pmI dunno, Bagan gets carried off kicking and screaming by Mothra after being doused by her poison scales, then gets wrapped up by Mothra Larva's webbing (as is the norm with the Larva fights).

Re: Best And Worst Official Kaiju Redesigns
Best MechaGodzilla design: Monsterverse
MechaGodzilla
I love the fact that he looks menacing with the red lights just makes him Look more evil. Even though he’s in for about five minutes he absolutely blasted out of the water.
Worst MechaGodzilla design: Planet of The Monsters Trilogy Mechagodzilla city
Mechagodzilla city is one of the worst offenders for being one of the worst redesign in history. It is so unrecognizable to the point where it is just a silver city that’s all. It doesn’t provide anything interesting sting from a Visual point of view it’s just boring and the city. This is supposed to be Mechagodzilla. And what’s worse they provided A much better Redesign
Even though it’s not the most visually appealing specially the face, I could’ve easily forgiven this design if It show it potential with cool action scenes. But like any other potential in this Trilogy quickly got crushed with unimaginative boring slob.

Re: Best And Worst Official Kaiju Redesigns
Best redesign for MG is the subtle changes for MG75. It looks like an improved, more sleek version of 74.

Re: Best And Worst Official Kaiju Redesigns
I feel the GMK Baragon was a great redesign. Red Baragon's face was more expressive, and the kaiju seemed more muscular.

Re: Best And Worst Official Kaiju Redesigns
Completely agree. The darker, less shiny metal skin, as well as the other subtle differences honestly look a lot better. More menacing and dynamic in my opinion, if that makes any sense

Re: Best And Worst Official Kaiju Redesigns
Absolutely agreed. Funnily enough for a long time I actually had no idea the suit was tweaked for TOMG but even back then I always felt like he looked sleeker, meaner and overall more imposing in that film. I feel like the cinematography also has a part in this, especially with the overall darker atmosphere and the emphasis on fire in the background.

Re: Best And Worst Official Kaiju Redesigns
Gonna have to disagree here. While I do like how everything was made pointier, the slimmed down look ruins it for me. It looks really wonky in some shots, and it's especially noticable in the neck and makes his head look too big.
The suit also looks to be in worse condition, with it visibly crumpled and crinkled in the calves, thighs and wrists. The duller, darker look doesn't look as impressive as the shiny chrome of the original.
MG2 is an example of a downgrade from the original in my opinion, and I will never understand it's appeal aside from a slightly more aggressive look that the original already had.

Re: Best And Worst Official Kaiju Redesigns
I think it’s that MG74 looks quite stocky and pudgy, and that people prefer a more slim Mech. Also, the darker coloration definitely helps.

Re: Best And Worst Official Kaiju Redesigns
That's kind of the appeal for me, honestly. It's got the bulky retro-robot look to it that I really like. The darker colors on the 75 suit combined with what appears to be deterioration of the suit makes it look lower quality IMO. To each their own I supose.

Re: Best And Worst Official Kaiju Redesigns
I never really noticed any difference between the two but now that I look closer, I'll have to say I prefer MG2.

Re: Best And Worst Official Kaiju Redesigns
If I had to choose I like MG2 because of the larger finger guns and more angular chest, but the two are so similar that MG2 barely counts as a redesign.

SP Kumonga. Don't like it. It shares basically nothing in common with Kumonga except for the stripes. Thing doesn't even look that much like a spider. I would've much preferred if they made it a new monster like how its nestmates are.

I'm still somewhat convinced it's a (terrible) Megalon design that was rebranded as Kumonga at the last minute.Cryptid_Liker wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 9:11 pm SP Kumonga. Don't like it.
