The BLOOD VOMITING Science Of Shin Godzilla Mutations Explained 

@RoanokeGaming I’m Already subbed :) and you should do a video on the movie “shin ultraman” that came out this year

Soo, the reason there is SOOOO many meetings is BECAUSE that is literal commentary on the way Japan governmental system works. Yes, there are that many meetings for (most times) pointless meaning.

One thing that I personally recommend to you, one RU-vid "scientist" to another. Now I kind of got the idea for this from a commenter. Now there was a concept thing for shin Godzilla or rather deleted scene where the pieces blown off grew teeth and eyes. This reminded me of cancer. And then I realized that if Shin Godzilla started out as a single-celled organism, or threat statistically impossible process more or less all of the cells in its body basically became cancerous at the same time. This would allow the thing to keep functioning, because the cancer rather than spreading into surrounding tissues and killing off what's closest. They would all become cancerous, and cancer works together with other cancer. And cancer is very resilient, it can kind of handle being its own single cell and then dividing back into what it was, and for things like shin Godzilla or zombies that can only be dealt with by head trauma. This might be something to consider, because the cancer can basically survive any damage to the body that a Survivor would throw at it - but a shot to the head or removing the head would destroy the neurology or just Severance Communications with the body. If this was the case it can't really interact with the body, kind of like if you removed your cerebellum. So maybe Shin Godzilla is an extremophile that went cancerous from a single-celled organism, and the zombie viruses that are incurable and make the host basically indestructible. Those are just cancer victims, where the cancer worms its way into the brain, assimilates rather than destroying the body so that it can kind of handle all damage, and the cancer cells get there by breaking the skin, entering through the saliva, and then taking over the brain by replacing neurons or something.

I've already left a detailed version explaining why, but if you're dealing with near indestructible things like a zombie where everything does zero damage unless you damage or remove the brain. Or Shin Godzilla being able to survive no matter how much of him is blown off, that's because all of the cells are now cancerous. You've already discussed how resilient cancer is, we both know that cancer can basically be on its own. Perhaps those viruses are actually just cancer that figured out it can go through the bloodstream, get to the brain, then assimilate the rest.

I enjoyed this. Want part 2

I looked it up, and there is a shin godzilla zipline that also references the clumps of flesh with eyeballs and teeth

​@@brandonanguiano2121yeah, the original idea for Shin wasn't the "and now I will become the humans themselves" thing, but that Shin would become kind of an eldritch being, a gigantic infection that would eventually swallow the entirety of Japan

@@hasturthekinginyellow5003 That line of dialogue towards the end of the film, where the Yaguchi team is about to crack the meaning of Maki's origami array, "Godzilla could even be capable of growing wings" was alluding to the original plan of evolving into the lovecraftian god incarnate.

The "boiling blood" scene is very good, even though it's unfinished. It almost indicates Godzilla changing his internal biology to gain the ability to blast his beams from his mouth. The blood spills out, melting the tires of partially submerged cars, indicating both intense heat as well as corrosive qualities to Godzilla's blood.

@@gabrielboorom2683that sounds like a really cool detail that they should’ve kept in. It always kinda bothered me how he gained his fire breathing abilities so abruptly.

I guess this is only a critique at the beggining when they dismissed the snomalies, undermined godzilla's potential danger and were more concerned with apeasing the population, but they really got on tracks and the meetings became important to make a plan and deal with the thing

@@italucenaz You can see Gaijin Goomba's video about the movie, he tells you about how he interprets this Godzilla with what he knows about Japanese culture. Many say the original Godzilla movie was an allusion to the atom bomb, and this Godzilla is more of an allusion to a natural disaster, especially making reference to the Fukushima Nuclear disaster

@@EkoBahamut I know, the beggining of the movie clearely criticize the slow process of action that made the problem bigger, but later when qualified people come up with the ideas and plans it was ultimatelly what solved the godzilla problem, a problem humanity created but managed to triumph against it too

Classic Godzilla stuff

yes it is and they purposely shot footage that looked similar to the aftermath of the tsunami

I personally really like them for making the film feel much more real. It highlights the issues bureaucracy can have in situations of crisis, it shows the handicapped Japanese government post WW2, and much more. It may seem unnecessary if you’re here just for the monster, but the movie was meant to be more as you mention

@@spectre4165 I believe it's supposed to be something of a satire on the endless bureaucracy and inflexibility of the entrenched old men in the Japanese (and to some extent ALL) governments. The situation is only resolved when they are sidestepped entirely.

@@giantbonsai8950 exactly, believe in the case specifics of Japan this was to critique the poor handling of the Fukushima incident

My brother literally describes this movie as a fictional documentary and I totally agree with it 😂

Fun fact: It's a replication of U.S. government and supposed mirror it after World War 2. Most of its government structure was created by U.S. government to replace their old system government to avoid repeat of "emperor" or "religious authority". So if you think Japanese government is bad, U.S. is it's ugly twin.

His body can't keep up with itself. It keeps adapting way faster than it can adapt to the adaptations. Skin is the best example as it looks like is constantly ripping from form changes stretching it faster than it can grow. That's such scary concept

Makes me wonder if it would become more docile should it be left alone long enough to gain a stable land form with no immediate threat to need to adapt to

Not evolution, since it's not taking place over a long period of time, its rapid mutation, but I don't think evolution fits

His skin looks like a thick layer of scab and scars, while it's horrifying to look at, imagine what this creature feels and thinks while it's flesh and bones been continuously being torn and reformed.

@@johnP0908it is best not to imagine any animal that will have the same pain as him

Good point. Never thought of it like that.

It's the political satire of the film, and alluding to the incompetent response to the Fukushima quake and disaster fallout.

This film is a criticism of the Japanese government's handling of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Slow bureaucracy was a major reason why the disaster was as bad as it was. They could have solved the major issues immediately, but instead tried less effective solutions that only served to make things worse long term.

100% this! From what I can recall, it's absolutely an intentional critique of the excess beaucracy Japan has been dealing with

Gaijin goombah?

I also noticed several times whenever Godzilla mutated and grew, his skin did not. Just looked like his skin was warping and tearing unable to adapt. My partner even told me to imagine it as "a spider trying to molt, but it can't get rid of its skin" That and when he used his Atomic Breath, it looked a lot more like his inner lining couldn't withstand the heat and he was burning alive from the inside, cause he screeched out his breath until it was empty and passed out

Yeah and the lyrics of the song that plays during his final rampage also imply the pain he is in.

​@@Ahhhhh638 "If I die in this world.."

So.. Shin basically said "You're cool bro, I ain't gonna bother with you"?

No. Goro Maki killed himself by drowning when he jumped into the water from the boat. He even took off his shoes before jumping in. Popular theory is that Godzilla contains some of Maki within his genes when he jumped in to where Godzilla is, and Godzilla just kinda... absorbed his corpse.@@thewood-yl8zy

​@@TamaTheKaiju That's the interpretation I got as well. Maki dropped the creature in the bay and then jumped in to fuse with it. He knew he could gain a new life within the creature rather than die of old age or sitting in a cell facing human punishment for his actions, which likely be labeled biological terrorism given the damage Godzilla would go on to cause.

@@gabrielboorom2683 so what you are saying is that his meddling and fusing with the creature is what caused it to start mutating, forced onto land where it was then mutating to live on land? that is... some wild shit to think about. Also could say there was an ego bit there where he may have thought he could fuse with and control the beast, becoming like a god himself... that didn't turn out too well, now did it?

​@@jesseallen3109it's possible he had a god complex motivation for wanting to fuse with the organism that would become Godzilla but I think the general idea was it was going to evolve into a world ending threat no matter what if not contained. Sure, giving it the biomatter of his corpse probably sped things along, but as they say, there's plenty of fish in the sea. He decidedly sealed humanity's fate the moment he dumped it back into the ocean instead of freezing it to death or something. What he does right after tossing it back in is largely inconsequential.

Yeah because radioactive material goes brrrr

Now you're thinking with nukes!

@@RoanokeGamingSo oppenhaimer with monsters?

​@@RepentForYourS1nsOppenmonster

​@@RepentForYourS1ns This... maybe, just that gojira isnt concious of it

This is a crazy collab right here

Thats because the people behind this one are big hitters behind Neon Genesis Evangelion. Godzilla wouldve, in concept, become a human like eldritch monster.

Every other Godzilla was designed like an agile, intelligent creature that some may think is just a ''normal'' form of life (if you considered atomic breath normal), with a mind of it's own and clear thought process, that depending on the movie is to destroy humankind out of hatred and a revenge desire or keep certain order, almost favouring humans, by fighting other kaijus. But Shin Godzilla is jus...Unsettling. Disturbing. In a way, he looks inherently ''wrong''. An almost demonic creature in constant agony, that has no reason to be alive, and looks like it doesn't have any other thought than ''this hurts even more, I have to evolve to avoid it'', without another clear goal.

He was originally supposed to turn into a omnipresent being but that was scrapped.

it was actually gonna be even more terrifying, as Godzilla would progressively evolve more and more into a being that transcends physical law

he was actually suppose to turn into a eldritch monster, but they had to remind the director it was just a godzilla film

Keeps it in line with the original film and criticizing America and the use of nuclear weapons.

dont forget it was also a freaking TSUNAMI that caused the damn meltdown, Godzilla is literally perfect for this lol.

Like the Blue Oyster Cult classic says "history shows again and again how nature points up the folly of man."

Exactly, I don't think alot of people get that or just completely forgot about fukushima nuclear disaster.

​@@wither5673yes, but there was an immediate solution that the government refused to implement. Just like in the film, where Godzilla could have been stopped early on if they took the threat seriously, the government irl took slow and less effective actions that ultimately caused far more damage than what would have happened if they simply took the threat seriously.

As well as the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

The Fukushima disaster was caused by the Tohoku Earthquake & Tsunami

Didn’t do so great after the Hanshin quake of 1995, either. The local yakuza mounted a better relief effort than the government did.

@@CantankerousDave wait, WHAT!?

So basically OG Godzilla is Hiroshima, while Shin Gojira is Fukushima? Suddenly everything makes so much more sense to me now...

If it’s Taiwanese they’d be brawling to the point Godzilla would leave Taiwan because it’s a wonky country

​@@kaybevang536 Winnie-the-Pooh would like to know your location

I need to see more Godzilla flicks. I've only seen Shin, then the original, and those parallels are very on point

@@DMKleinArts I can definitely recommend them They're not nearly as thoughtful, for the most part, but they're great fun Plus, some of the monsters designs and origin stories are really creative and out there Stand outs for that are Destroyah and Biollante

I really enjoy your profilepic! :)

I once saw a video here on RU-vid that came up with an interesting match up of The Thing and Shin Godzilla. What happens when a hostile alien lifeform that absorbs and takes over any lifeform it comes into contact with, versus a constantly evolving creature that adapts to every hostile changes in its environment or threats it faces.

@@_GeneralMechanics_for the love of god, please tell us where to find that video because it sounds fascinating and terrifying

​@@_GeneralMechanics_ Wow sounds like a good match 🥊

I wonder if they did actually stop it in time

@@_GeneralMechanics_instantly I came to the conclusion that shin Godzilla adapts to not be replaced by the thing and the thing does what it can to assimilate but either dies from the extreme environment that is shin godzillas body or adapt to just be apart of shin Godzilla and assimilate itself into the colony. Overall, I think it would lead to a symbiosis relationship as Godzilla adapts to be basically uneffected by the thing. Other than that I assume the thing cells would allow Godzilla to not just evolve new changes but now create new limbs and pieces of itself on command since the thing seems to have full access to its own molecules. I don’t think either would be able to take over the other, Godzilla prolly wouldn’t even notice the thing and Godzilla evolves too fast in unstable environments for the thing to keep up and if it did I don’t think it would be able to take over Godzilla as a host.

The original Godzilla reshaped the monster movie concept into the man-made disaster movie genre, and this movie turns the tragedy caused by the bureaucratic nightmare and government incompetence into a polotical satire.

correct, it was a good critism of their emergency procedures. getting frustrated by it kinda works as intended.

​@sentinel_nightcrawler It's not fanfiction, this is the director's intention with the film. The point is that their inaction in favor of committee and meetings cost hundreds of lives

@@acidcosmos2001 yeah I accidentally read "fanfiction" there.

Watched a series in the disaster and I thought I was watching shin at first. It’s crazy how they shuffled their feet

Right so many people hate on it but I think it was perfect for perfectly exemplifing everything wrong with our governments

I also like how the meetings turn this monster movie into a catastrophe movie, showing how actual beaurocracy would slow EVERYTHING down in such a situation, it isn't 2 hours of some actor crying about his dead/scared family with a few minutes of monsters. It is a more realistic govenment taking on an unknown catastrophic organism, making the threat a lot more real, as some comments already said, it is also great how the meetings and staff develope under pressure, parallel to Godzillas own developement TlDr: i agree, meetings gud.

Agreed, while admittedly the meetings are kind of boring they help the movie feel more unique than most Godzilla movies

@@Cs-cp6vo Funny thing is, I have a book from the 90's about the golden age of the Japanese Film Industry called "Giant Monsters are Attacking Tokyo". It's made up of a bunch of interviews, and one the Western Actors said, the Japanese just loved to put meetings to talk about what was going on in their movies compared to US productions.

It's very similar to all of society, bad stuff happening? Well, we need a meeting to discuss it, put everyone to speed, the next meeting will be on how to solve it, next meeting, an update and how it got worse. Beautiful bureaucracy

That's horrifying and also fits appropriate

Those bones in the 4th form must be ridiculously strong then

Yep

I feel like that all the bullets and bombs also had that affect on it, but once again the flesh under the skin just continued to regenerate.

Can't help but remind me of the Time Prison panel from tails gets trolled. "Every time I move my body, my bones shatter and heal into my next shape. If I take a single step, every bone in my legs splinters and then reforms. I don't know what pain is because I have been alive for 10 million years."

A lot of ShinGoji's early reactions seem to be 'flight'. Like ShinGoji's hoping that it can get away from the pain if it just runs fast enough and far enough. It's not going after anything in particular when it first arrives on land, it's basically just running...which of course at its size ends badly for everyone involved. And as with any injured animal, any stimulus that gets too close is a potential threat. You're already in pain. You have no idea what humans or cars or planes or buildings are but there are a lot of noises and vibrations and lights and any one of those things could try to use your weakness as a means to attack you and finish you off. And even when directly attacking the military it seems very selective about what it goes for. It recognizes military vehicles as being a dangerous thing that can cause it more pain but seems to ignore others as it has no experience being hurt by them and thus doesn't consider them important to deal with.

Didn't think I could feel sad for Godzilla, yet here I am wanting to give him a hug now.

@@JB-bm1toSadly you couldn't give Shin a hug, you'd melt and he'd cry even more. Check Rrubesz comics with Shin Godzilla

I think Shin eventually morphs into a complete being of invasive evil. By the third form at least, once its confident it's worked most of its kinks out.

Does that mean that the reason it stopped in Tokyo is because it realized it couldn’t escape the pain and just seized, waiting for whatever is happening to it to stop?

This was always my headcanon as well. Problem is that it doesn't melt into pieces the few times it goes dormant.

@@0333aaahe’s still active when dormant, remember he shoots down drones while he’s dormant. My guess is he shuts down certain parts of his body while keeping others active, possibly at a lesser rate

Normally I'm not a fan of the "it's bad/boring/etc. on purpose, that's the point", but I think this movie manages to get that "boring and tedious" feeling across while also making it engaging, and it's mostly thanks to the tension of the looming threat, and the way the scenes are shot. The movie has some great cinematography that keeps even the most boring scenes engaging to the viewer. And hell, the tension is pretty good too. Just the military operations where the heli pilots have to hold off on the operation because civies are in the way was an interesting and fairly grounded perspective on something like this. It was just a big shoot out to have something on screen.

@@PANCAKEMINEZZ Oh yeah, the meetings where thongs actually get done or something is actually discovered are super engaging, or the ones happening while Godzilla's destruction is going on and the tension going through those scenes are amazing. It's in direct contrast to the early meeting scenes, which are basically the director pointing out how the Japanese government were too slow to respond to the Fukushima reactor disaster because of how much of the early response was just people blaming each other and going to meetings and taking too long to respond- kinda like how the OG movie was inspired by the Lucky Dragon 5 incident with Castle Bravo. That's why the early scenes were filmed to be tedious and frustrating- because instead of acting as soon as they saw a problem, or at least acted sooner instead of passing blame and navigating red tape, they just wasted time that could have been spent doing something helpful like in later scenes. It's also (intentionally or not) in almost direct contrast to how it's handled in the OG 1954 Godzilla. The officials are understandably skeptical at first but once they get more evidence they're on top of Godzilla almost immediately and actively trying to find and discuss solutions and whether they should take Godzilla alive or dead. Granted they still needed Serizawa to actually do anything to Godzilla, but they were still far more active early on compared to Shin Godzilla and the contrast is noticable. this was longer than I intended so if you made it down here you're cool and thank you

yeah it's actually a message to how actual japan would treat a crisis like this it was part of the story telling because of the message the director and producer wanted to give

I'm especially a big fan of how the meetings are depicted in this movie because it criticize the the absolute buffoonary that is the Japanese government during the Fukushima incident that turned a completely preventable event into one of the worst disaster the country has ever faced

Idk i think america at the least would bomb the shit out of it pretty quickly.

Do you think instead of "Persecution of the Masses," their theme music would be another "Decisive Battle" remix too?

next installment we will see 1 hour of human-gojira doing useless bureaucracy before the main gojira decides that he has had enough and walks towards the next capital of his choice

@@piscessoedroen *PLAYS DECISIVE BATTLE ON A KAZOO*

He is making a mistake

So you're telling me the mini-gojis saw the value of meetings and so will combat humanity through meetings?

in the version I have it was called a phased-arrary radar or something akin to that.

He probably still has abilities we haven’t seen and the fact he does this is insane and I love it

Sachiel from Neon Genesis Evangelion (the angel in episode 1) has the same ability

You my friend are a smart guy

sooo why did those lasers not hit the humans, was it because of plot

They should make a second movie

That's wrong- The point of showing that scene shows that shin was almost completed his 5th form which is a making human looking alien But luckily the humans frosted shin right in time before he could make more destruction with his humanoid minions

@@firemash11 when he was frozen, you get a good full look. No humanoids. On the final shot they’re shown. It shows what’ll happen once he defrosts and that he’s not completely stopped while frozen. Quite ominous knowing he was evolving while frozen.

@@SweetieEvie ah good point. Now I'm wondering if there's gonna be an actual shin 2 💀💀

@@firemash11 I wish. He has several forms drawn that would be so OP.

We should organise some sort of gathering to attempt to deal with bureaucracy, perhaps we could have various experts and politicians attend and meet..... oh.

me asf

that makes perfect sense too, visual acuity is largely determined by the absolute size of the eye, and since godzillas eyes were already larger than on any land animal known to have ever existed, it could easily see perfectly the way it was, especially since reptilian eyes are generally also more advanced than in most mammals.

Mammals eyes never grow. That's why babies, puppies, and kittens(amd as far as I'm aware most infant mammals) have that adorable "baby eyed" look. As they grow older their skull forms around their eyes until they're actually scaled to what they appear to be in adulthood. No clue if that has anything to do with the choices in the movie. But just a fun fact I've heard that popped into my head reading this.

@@nignamedmutt7270 The same goes for most birds as well.

Eventually, Godzilla stopped thinking.

Eventually, Godzilla became an extreme masochist.

I always figured what drove shin to go to Tokyo was the will of the professor they were hunting down. Since they likely fused or he was eaten at the beginning on the boat.

​@@thesuperslayer7864 Same!

Being conscious specifically means being self aware though 🤓

The design theory for the creature was inspired by victims of a nuclear blast. The blackened burnt skin, cracks of exposed glowing hot tissue, even the way his arms are useless and positioned to appear like it's in constant agony.

And, to be fair, looking at its size, it gonna need them thighs just to walk around.

That would be over the course of the movie....

They kept that motivation for Singular Point's version I see.

This is misinformation.

That...sounds like Anno. At least there's no weird sexual fetishism in this one.

@@cupley8242 Nope. There’s a video by MindQ called ‘The 8 forms of Shin Godzilla || Ultimate Evolution’ that goes into detail about his onscreen evolutions and the four evolutions that were conceptualized for Godzilla.

Yeah I think I’d rather not see a version of thsi thing that could induce eldritch madness

The idea of one of them ripping their suits off, flexing then saving people from rubble is hilarious

I mean the movie itself is a criticism of japans reaction to the Fukushima disaster, apparently Japan was stuck in meetings than doing what actually needs to be done

Define "needs to be done"@@ZumbieGuy

@@Novarcharesk example: creating a sea wall to lock in all the contaminated water from the reactors spilling out into the ocean, destroying tons of sea life habitats and making the water generally unsafe for anyone because.. bureaucracy made their response slow and allowing the damage to continue

Only 1 of og and Only 1 of shin.. aint that a bitch.

I'm learning a lot today.

this logic falls apart for the dinosaurs who lived in a much much hotter world.

@@AbsurdAsparagus it's still true, it's just not the ONLY reason animals can be big, for dinosaurs it was probably just natural selection, as prey got bigger, so did the predators. Their hollow bones is also probably a factor, they didn't weigh as much as you might expect an animal that size to weigh. For another example of different reasons animals can be big, bugs during the carboniferous period were much larger due to the oxygen content in the air. Their size let them absorb more of it.

Lmao I love this lazy cop out everyone keeps spewing as if it means anything. THE MOVIE IS FUCKING BORING. That should NEVER be your goal as a film maker and Minus One curb stomps this movie while still being informative and entertaining

Godzilla movies were in the beginning about criticizing social problems. This one is pretty much a critique of extremely slow and inefficient bureaucratic responses to things like pandemic, things that change quickly, hit quickly and require immediate action. How else are you supposed to critique that without making viewers bored on purpose? That's the best approach really, to treat you to small, condensed amount of irritation the problem causes, so you will relate to problem at hand

Not waste, but nuclear warfare/atomic weapons. But yes, Shin did return to the darker and more somber tone of Gojira.

probably deleted, because it would nullify the ending, since it would mean that those would end up growing into threats themselves.

@@cloud8521 perfect lead in to more movies.

As a colony creature couldn't it also have a distrubited brain? Each cell adds a little bit to the overall intellect and thus even if some parts are damaged, it still has enough to function as if it wasn't damaged.

Well for one due to its bodies density it would effectively swim through land like a liquid. Another fun thing is that with its sheer size and relative speed it would constantly be giving off tornado force winds through the displaced air it forces around.

I’m ironically, that destruction caused in Godzilla movies (constant destruction and explosions) is relatively accurate to what would actually happen. At roughly 100k tones, each step would DECIMATE underground gas,water, and electric lines, cause massive explosions and flooding. Body density, mixed with ground coverage per step, would creates power gale winds that would blow through building like paper. The monster roars would blow out glass windows, and anything in close proximity to said roar, like people, would have their insides scrambled for the incredible decibels they would experience. We entertain ourselves with the on screen depictions, but in reality, this would be one of the most horrific incidents in human history, if it were real

military weapons... Conventional ones, sure. Nuclear (fission) or thermonuclear (fusion)? Ahahaha *no* . The problem with those would be the collateral damage, not whether they could damage the creature. Godzilla, along with _absolutely everything_ else in the mile-wide fireball, including _the air itself_ would be turned to a soup of ionized atoms, not even "things", "matter". When a grenade explodes it's a chemical reaction. Goes boom, creates a shockwave, sets stuff on fire. A nuclear/thermonuclear explosion is a _nuclear_ reaction. It _destroys the atoms, that make up the molecules, themselves_ . It's not an issue of how strong godzilla is. It's an issue of "is it made of stuff? Yes, it is made of stuff. Then it will cease to be stuff". It's not like the detonation would even give the creature time to _evolve_ into something that can somehow confine the plasma, such as... I dunno... a tokamak confinement system. "but but godzilla is already a nuclear reactor!" sure, but it isn't _exploding_ .

@@RebelOfTheNorm242 not to mention the almost cosmic horror that would be its atomic breath

Dunno about the math, but I've seen a cool piece of art where the author took every classic Godzilla kaiju monster and did a dissection drawing of them, like an anatomical map including multiple hearts and brains as well as redundant back-up livers and stuff among all the massive muscles and bones, since obviously a creature that big would need multiple systems just to move. Though as for your original comment, I would imagine a creature that size would have the hide to match. Just look at modern day boars and bulls, we had to make our weapons adapt to them in order to hunt them back in the day. I can only imagine something easily the size of a skyscraper would also have thick skin, if not just straight up armored scales.

This also implies that he doesnt have a single brain, woudnt u say? The response time for somthing that massive is impossible if he had only one brain located on top of his head.

​​@@arsyadidris6349what makes you think that? From what we have seen, brains operate on electrical impulses. The most "lag" Godzilla would have is most likely a single second, as it takes SOME time to send the signal, interpret the signal, and then act on it.

@@miceltusav88 or his brain was somewhere else n not on top of his head? Shin’s height is almost 120m. Height. Not length including that magnificant tail. Our CNS max speed is ~120m/s. For a 1.75m tall dude like me, thats instantaneous response. But for 120m Goji, theres gonna be lag. Recieve input, send impulse to brain, brain process what to do, send impuls back to appropiate output. Thats the gist of it, right? Now… trying to shoot down a moving object… lets ask how it went for WW2 anti-air gunners, who had to compensate for the time it takes for their flak ammo to reach the enemy planes. More or less same applies here. Any lag in communication between input-brain-response and ur not gonna hit on target. Which, i have to ask… does it mean the beams on his back are acting on impulse?

Yes, Shin shot down stealth bombers with *radar,* that's definitely plausible.

@@AJadedLizard yeahh… that one was random. Fire beams in that general direction n hope it hit something. N it took out a spirit bomber😂

Basic physics says no to that. Just saying 'oh, it adapts' is a meaningless excuse that shrugs off reality.

@@Novarcharesk Yeah, shin defies reality. Thats a pretty important part of his character

@@Novarcharesk The creators even at some point were planning to have him evolve into his own universe

​​@@NovarchareskHe was meant to evolve into a universe? Basic physics don't apply dawg. The entire premise of Shin Godzilla is that he's in constant pain because his body is rapidly evolving and regenerating. Also all science is educated guesswork. We don't KNOW anything, everything can be proven wrong in the future given more time and info.

@@Novarchareskbro he’s so Coked on radiation I wouldn’t be suprised if his existance breaks physics down to the very basics

Man bros roasts are crazy

I think someone had a theory that the doctor that came up with the formula allowed himself to be assimilated with godzilla and that's what the tail-head was.

@@greatshax68Some early concept arts showed the tail evolving into another Godzilla, so that's probably why the eyes and proto-mouth are there, plus the deleted scene show that even the back plates blown off by the first bombs were starting to grow eyes and teeths.

the new minus one Gojira does.... up close the ionized oxygen glows blue around him when he releases his atomic breath

Oh man look ate it’s supposed final form

it supposedly could have evolved to basically become the universe, basically azathoth, THE eldritch horror

This is the guy who made Neon Genesis Evangelion, where the sense of self and lonelyness can generate forcefields, and everyone gets turned into tang.

@@iamafuckingfailure Dios Mio...

Telepathic powers would likely evolve as the need to communicate with the tiny scurrying things that keep hurting it presents itself.

You wouldn't even need uranium if you could somehow create a digestive system that has insanely increased efficiency at extracting energy from matter.

My first Godzilla movie was Vs the Sea Monster... They are on different ends of the scale.

@brettwood1351 Yeah. He then watched Biolante, Destroyah, and then Gojira. He loves Godzilla like nothing else. When he was younger and growing, he always pretended to be the bad guy destroying the stuff we built. He had an evil laugh and all. So I eventually was like, I think I know something you might like.

It was Eight Legged Freaks for me.

Your kid's off to a great start! My earliest Godzilla movie was "Godzilla 1985." Still my favorite to this day.

THERES MORE?!

​@@RoanokeGamingyeah its a bit of an anthology, basically they are re imaginings of the big 3 in tokusatsu.

​@RoanokeGaming shin kamen rider and ultraman are modern versions of the late 60s and early 70s tokusatsu shows. Kamen rider and ultraman both are still ongoing series.

​@@RoanokeGamingcheck out Shin Kamen Rider. All kinds of weird shit you'd find interesting. Huge recommend. It's also entertaining as hell

@@RoanokeGamingAnd so it begins lol

Justice for shin godzilla thats so ruthless ):

Funny you say that, when is saw the movie my first thought was "that is just like Destroyah" with the end scene with the Humanzillas splitting off from the tail being similar to how Destoroyah split of into smaller selfs to more effectively fight Godzilla. Really hope they will bring back Destoroyah in Legends, the groundwork has been laid already with the Oxygen Destroyer in King of the Monsters.

Oh by the way, there are no official forms past what is shown in the film (fourth and then the supposed 5th hominid forms), everything else is fan content

It may have been satire, but my American monkey brain got bored as hell while watching those scenes. Still a good film, it man it can be boring.

@@BlankEmporium It definitely was designed to makes your Blood Boils lmao, because of the Constant out of action and inaction the meeting gives, and definitely what Anno's felt when the Shit Show Fukushima Meltdown happened.

@@BlankEmporiumwho wouldve thunk

Cause Japanese movies typically don't get NA theater release unless they're anime. It got a very short, limited release.

I remember thinking it looked gross and didn't have any interest

Shiro Sagisu also did the soundtrack for Bleach! It's a great listen with some iconic tracks
