Its no rodan. Its a new creature created by Edwards. Godzilla is the only Toho monster they have rights to.

Its most likely Muto

I understand a movie with it's trademark monster needs to reveal it as little as possible to build up tension for the much bigger moments when the beast's finally shown off but damn is my inner child disappointed reading that.

Unfortunately people don't appreciate "the less is more" approach to monster movies these days.

I think I'm detecting sarcasm. It's not that I want to see less but you have to admit, in movies like Cloverfield, it kinda works but I guess since they pretty much shown off what the new Godzilla looks like, it defeats the purpose doesn't it? Good job, marketers.

No sarcasm at all.
I'm just thinking audiences will make the inevitable comparison to Pacific Rim & may feel disappointed with the "slow reveal".

Personally that's gonna be the highlight for me...waiting for Godzilla to make his appearance.

Well Pacific Rim was more of a flashy popcorn Robots vs Monsters escapism film which had a pretty large plot, so it makes sense why they were showing off the monsters right from the get go.

With this Godzilla remake though, they seem to want to turn Godzilla into a sentient version of...well...a nuke going off, or a megatsunami. Literally a threat that humanity has never encountered before. It makes sense why they would do a slow build-up.

A well-done, slow reveal has traditionally been an excellent suspense-creating device...for people whose attention span > 15 seconds and know what "delayed gratifcation" means.

All I know is I pre-ordered my tickets and as soon as I wake up on opening day, I'm showering, getting dressed, and hopping a bus straight to the theater. Nothing starts a morning off like Godzilla 🙂

God forbid that Godzilla has some girth to him and not look like a 300 foot tall anorexic stick figure. Geez.

The Japanese have always been a demure people, intimidated by the girth of Americans. 👆

Never mind, Godzilla. Their Kong looked like the Gargantua bro's not-quite-as-ugly cousin.

Also with their Godzilla he also has fat thighs.

Major spoilers

Spoiler:
Godzilla came to the mainland just to get some blue meth

Has anyone else seen the Fiat commercial featuring Godzilla? I figured at some point, an even bigger "G" (Greed) would get hold of him, but to turn him into a comedic, commercial prop even before the movie is out?

So much for "I am become death..."

I am actively avoiding ALL MEDIA about this movie. I want to go into it with as clean a slate as possible.
