New Godzilla Concept Design Unveiled: on T-Shirts at SDCC!

Post by Anguirus »

So Legendary Pictures has apparently chosen a strange way to hype Godzilla: they are producing a licensed T-shirt with concept art on it! One assumes we are meant to take away that this is what they're going with:

The T-shirt uses some weird mojo to "breathe fire" and roar. Interview from the "augmented reality" studio that designed the shirt here: http://tokyostateofmind.wordpress.com/

My take on the design itself (the real news): Very nice! Just what I was hoping for; it is clearly Godzilla (as opposed to '98) but it looks very dynamic and destructive. Of course, lots of concept art rocks harder than the actual film, but as long as he isn't a man in suit Godzilla should be able to pull off movement like that.

This is the guy they want to use to win over "young people?" Are they completely daft? I'd rather vote for a pile of shit than a Jesus freak social regressive.
Here's hoping that his political career goes down in flames and, hopefully, a hilarious gay sex scandal.

As a monster design, I liked Zilla a whole lot.

That said, this is awesome.

That looks like a badass 'zilla.
People love to follow orders. It allows them to absolve themselves from responsibility. When everything turns to shit, they can just point a finger and say, "I was just following orders."

Now THAT's what Zilla should have been. Wonder how it'll look on-screen.

I'm sad to hear that then. I grew up on the O.G., yea that's right (Original Godzilla) and a monster was my hero. I fought beside him with king kong and I was their with him back in the 70s as a ICON for eco-warriors as the big guy fought the smog monster. Yes he was a more kinder, more gentle monster back then.

But who could forget about the time when Big G, Rodan, Mothera (baby!) and the protector of children Gamera fought king ghidorah to save the earth!.

I hope that they will use a certain man in a suit and not change the O.G. to a N.G (New Godzilla or No Go!)
