Kaijuformers: Legendary King Ghidorah

I WATCHED GXK TODAY!!!!!

Here are some doodles of Godzilla 2019, still my favorite design.

I have not been posting much because I’ve been occupied and have not felt like drawing much. I tried to go for a more realistic approach with drawing Goji.

Toho’s “Godzilla Minus One” is dropping soon, and it’s stirring up the Godzilla hype for its 70th anniversary. This movie, however, takes a detour from the MonsterVerse that brought us Godzilla vs. Kong in 2021. Directed by Takashi Yamazaki, this Kaiju film is all about giving viewers a wild ride, diving into the origins of the legendary franchise.

Setting the Stage:

In the aftermath of World War II in Japan, “Godzilla Minus One” sets its unique stage against a grim backdrop. The movie unfolds in the immediate aftermath of the war, and the first full trailer dropped on September 3, paints a raw picture of destruction and despair. It’s drawing parallels to the dark and allegorical tone we saw in “Shin Godzilla.”

Director’s Vision:

Yamazaki’s vision for the film seems clear, to emphasize the sheer terror of Godzilla as a metaphor for the horrors of nuclear devastation. He spent three years writing the script and placed particular importance on the fact the film takes place during the Showa era. The trailer hints at government cover-ups, international interference, and a nation struggling to survive against a new design of the notorious kaiju. Unlike some of the previous releases, Godzilla will not take the role of protector of Earth.

A Period Piece:

“Godzilla Minus One” breaks new ground with its period setting, transporting audiences to the 1940s, a time when Japan grappled with the aftermath of nuclear attacks. Yamazaki’s goal to depict Godzilla as the embodiment of fear itself is evident in every frame, promising a thrilling experience that stands out among other Godzilla films.

Countdown and Collector’s Goodies:

As we wait for the film to hit Japan on November 3, 2023, and North America on December 1, collectors are in for a treat. Cooltured is offering a special collector’s figure featuring Godzilla from the DefoReal Series by X-Plus, based on the 1973 film Godzilla vs. Megalon. It’s the perfect add-on for any Godzilla or Kaiju collection.

Godzilla Minus One promises to be a monumental addition to the kaiju legacy, showcasing the King of Monsters in a light that’s both haunting and captivating. The countdown has begun, and fans worldwide are bracing themselves for the colossal impact of this cinematic giant. Don’t miss the opportunity to secure your limited-edition collector’s figure from cooledtured and enhance your Godzilla collection.
