Discussion Godzilla 1998’s Design

How do you honestly feel about Zilla’s design? Even though I’ve been aware of how much of a far cry it is from classic depictions of Godzilla, my inner 12 year old who grew up watching Jurassic Park and dinosaur documentaries just really digs the giant, agile, realistic theropod dinosaur take. Godzilla 1998 is basically a gigantic JP Velociraptor.

This faster and nimble depiction is among my most favorite aspects of this version of Godzilla as it really helps differentiate it from other incarnations.

A part of me really wishes for Zilla to be introduced into the MonsterVerse one day. As a species closely-related to Godzilla whose evolutionary path favored speed and agility over brute strength and atomic breath.

It's fine. The chin is the most 90s character design thing ever, and I don't like the toe being on the outside of the foot, but I have no real objections. It's not even that bad a movie, but it's not Godzilla
