Starlord Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I was hoping he'd been trained to only do his business in a desert and that he covered it up afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I don't think Godzilla eats, therefore he doesn't excrete. But if he did, my guess is that his "waste" is secreted throughout his body, hardening and strengthening his hardshell epidermis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slikmar Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Wait, Godzilla's epidermis is made of poop? well, now we know Kong stands a chance cause apes love to throw $h!t around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Yep. Kaiju poop. It is highly resistant to all forms of attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 This is one variation of the [problem that in the real world, animals can only get so big and any creature big enough to destroy a city would collapse under its own weight and/or never be able to find enough food to survive even if they deplete entire ecosystems. Magic (assuming it is real in your campaign) might be able to find a way to get around it (hence dragons ion FH worlds need a lot of ambient magical energy to survive). So Godzilla might be not so much a force of nature as an avatar of nature who shows up when the global ecosystem is under an existential threat from human activity and the gods have no other way to get our attention. Which may be why he goes after cities, military installations, and other human-built targets but leaves natural areas alone. Of course, this speculation probably has nothing in common with the mythology these movies are building for Godzilla. It's just me speculating on how I would use the big guy as a GM.

Dr. MID-Nite Posted February 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Toho Godzilla of late is basically said to subsist by absorbing radiation. It has never been shown as having a need to excrete...so the point is likely moot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zslane Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Except that he doesn't use his breath weapon very often. In fact, only in combat as far as we know, and that's a pretty rare event. It would be more efficient (and logical, at least to me) if Godzilla's metabolism and excretion process was at least as autonomic as that of normal animals.

Pattern Ghost Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 On 12/2/2018 at 1:17 PM, Lord Liaden said: Gamera isn't as well known in the West as Godzilla, but outside of the Toho Studios monsters he's the most famous, and arguably second in popularity only to Godzilla in Japan. His first film was in 1965, and he starred in a dozen big screen releases into the current millennium, as well as comics, television and video games. For almost all his history Gamera has been portrayed as a hero, a protector of the world against other monsters, and particularly protective of children (feeding his popularity with young viewers). Part of his appeal may lie in his unique flying visuals, in which he withdraws his head and limbs into his shell and fires rocket-like jets out the holes, causing him to spin through the air like a fiery pinwheel. ^ All of those things are why Gamera was my favorite growing up. pinecone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. MID-Nite Posted February 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Only a couple months left until we see if Western film makers can capture the feel of the kaiju genre....or if we have another dud. The trailer is extremely promising, but then...so was the trailer for G2014. I'm definitely excited to see it though. Can't get enough kaiju in my life....

Lord Liaden Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 If all we ever got was those few scenes of the kaiju from the trailers, I would say Western film makers have contributed to the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlord Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 2014 Godzilla was excellent. Personally, some of the kaiju genre gets a little goofy, I'd rather they stick to what they've been doing. Twilight and RDU Neil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
