#mega godzilla

Let's cover Mechagodzilla first because he's probably the most anticipated Titan/Kaiju appearing in "Godzilla vs Kong" (besides the two eponymous characters). He does make an appearance in the official trailer twice but very briefly each time. We don't get a good look at him but we see enough to get a basic idea of what he probably looks like:

That looks like Godzilla but it's clearly has metal skin and some red glowing patches on the neck -- neither of which the real Godzilla has.

It's probably safe to assume that the robot on the screen is Mechagodzilla, maybe charging up to use his radioactive heat ray.

So, we can safely conclude that Mechagodzilla looks like....a Mecha Godzilla.

Shocking.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. We have barely seen his face, and only have had a good look at his robotic feet on a computer screen. What does he truly look like?

There aren't any great-quality photos of the Mechagodzilla toys online so this is the best we have. But these photos do give us a much better idea of what he looks like. He has red, blocky dorsal "plates" on his back, and three-fingered crane claw hands. It's kind of creepy to look at because it looks more like a skeleton than anything else.

Which ties into my (absurd, I know but we are dealing with an extremely fictional universe anyway where these monsters could never exist as they are presented in the movies, and a giant fucking robot with the complexity Mechagodzilla is just not a feasible or technologically-attainable goal right now) theory that perhaps the Godzilla we see in the trailer isn't always the real Godzilla but Mechagodzilla wearing a synthetic skin. This is ridiculous, I know, but like I said: most of this fictional universe is.

It would be an excellent reference to Mechagodzilla's first appearance in the 1974 Toho film, "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla," where Mechagodzilla shows up to destroys cities wearing a synthetic skin so he looks exactly like Godzilla (but sounds nothing like him so I have no clue why Japan actually though this was Godzilla in the film). The real Godzilla comes to the rescue, and Mechagodzilla's synthetic skin disappears (alien technology lol), revealing a robot.

Perhaps the skin from Ghidorah's severed head from 2019's "King of the Monsters" could be used to create a synthetic skin? I'm not a scientist, though, so I have no idea how plausible this is. But more on the Ghidorah head a bit later.

Anyway, so, we now have a good idea of what Mechagodzilla's body will look like in "Godzilla vs. Kong." What about his face?

SWEET JESUS WTF IS THAT?!

That, my friends, is a leaked photo of the Funko Pop Mechagodzilla and WTF IS GOING ON WITH HIS EYES? Maybe they will look less creepy in the movie, and they only look like this because the picture is low quality. But something tells me that Mechagodzilla's going to have freaky robot eyes.

So, "Godzilla vs. Kong" is a horror movie, confirmed.

But let’s go back to the Ghidorah head. We know the eco-terrorists from 2019′s “King of the Monsters” bought Ghidorah’s severed left head after the events of the film (how much did this thing cost????) I watched a video with a very plausible theory as to what will happen with this head in relation to Mechagodzilla.

In the video, the rumor is that the brain of the severed head of Ghidorah will be placed in Mechagodzilla’s head, and the Godzilla-like creature skeleton from the 2014 movie, “Godzilla,” will be used as part of the robot’s structure. Also, the Orca device technology see in the 2019 film will be placed in Mechagodzilla’s body, allowing him to control other Titans -- perhaps Godzilla himself and if it is the real Godzilla in the trailers, this could be why he’s behaving so aggressively. It sounds like a very logical scenario to me, and would explain the purpose of the eco-terrorists having bought the Ghidorah head. I mean, if that thing isn’t put to use in “Godzilla vs. Kong” then that post-credits scene was a waste of time.

Also, if this is true, then Mechagodzilla will be an enemy, which goes back to his debut in the 1974 movie. 

I will say that the eco-terrorists don’t fully understand what they’ve done because they have acquired the severed left head of Ghidorah. The left head is the dumb one, and is nicknamed “Kevin” for a reason. This could be the derpiest Mechagodzilla of all time!

Anyway, enough about Mechagodzilla and Kevin, and let’s discuss two other very interesting toys leaked online:

Mega Kong? Mega Godzilla? What is going on here?

Well, the theory for Mega Godzilla is that Kong (or even Mechagodzilla) destroys Godzilla’s dorsal fins in the movie, making it impossible for him to use his atomic breath until they regenerate -- which takes a long time. The humans give Godzilla an apparatus of sorts to help him out so he can continue to fight.

For me, it seems a little odd that he still HAS dorsal fins as Mega Godzilla, though, and I can’t see there being a way to regrow them that fast even with human technology. There is a rumor that Mechagodzilla’s atomic heat ray is much more dangerous than Godzilla’s atomic breath, and perhaps the apparatus on Godzilla’s back is used to enhance it and put him on even ground with his evil robot counterpart.

But what about Mega Kong?

I think it’s like this: Kong and Godzilla are badly injured and incapable of defeating Mechagodzilla on their own, or they are in good shape but aren’t powerful enough as they are to defeat Mechagodzilla. In either scenario, humans help Godzilla and Kong by giving them some enhancements, allowing them to be able to face off against the evil robot with less trouble. Godzilla gets something on his back to increase the power of his atomic breath and Kong is given something to enhance his physical strength by making him even more macular.
