hey Les I had a quick question, so I was looking back on destro-king and shadorah's page and I was trying to fix their pages to be more consistent with the other terror-beasts, with that part in particular being the place of emergence section to replace the origins section cause I remember you doing that before. if you can help with this that would be much appreciated.

minor bump

Titanus Kaiju Fan (talkcontribs)

The article for Godzilla's Evolved form's design is almost complete; all that's left is to give it a name. How does naming designs work?

Cohozilla (talkcontribs)

Typically, the Godzilla suits had their own names. However, designs like ShinGoji, DougheGoji, and GyuraGoji don't have official names, so fan names are chosen as their names, often their most popular name. There's a similar issue with the Minus One Godzilla - it has no official name, so MaiGoji's been chosen as a temporary plaeholder.

Keeri'ijra (talkcontribs)

I'm fairly certain there won't be any new design pages publsihed since they're being deleted.

Les (talkcontribs)
Shenanigans (talkcontribs)

Correct; the plan is for the design pages to be phased out and merged with the incarnation pages.

Keeri'ijra (talkcontribs)

Still VERY MUCH helps to have all the information there, my own sandboxes merging the pages and galleries for Monsterverse Godzilla were made a lot easier because we had the information layed out and organized already.

MechaniKongZilla (talkcontribs)

I'm waiting for the Japanese fans to give it a name

Johnny (talkcontribs)

Hmm. Maybe the pic of mothra might better fit in the gallery

Johnny (talkcontribs)

Wait nvm it’s a duplicate file

New mothra pic?

Hey @Les is it ok if I put a picture of Mothra from the new movie on her page (it’s not a camrip)

Les (talkcontribs)

What image were you thinking?

Johnny (talkcontribs)

The one when she’s reborn

Kaiju1954 (talkcontribs)

The credits (I'm aware of the unfortunate errors the translator made) for Kaiju No. 8 list Keiji Ota, Hiroshi Ueda, and Tomoyuki Ogata as part of the series' production. I'm not 100% if this is the same Hiroshi Ueda who worked on The Three Treasures and The Killing Bottle or not, but Tomoyuki Ogata seems to have co-produced Shin Ultraman. Would this be sufficient to approve the series?

Les (talkcontribs)

Yeah, the credits don't specify what companies are involved, but I think it's safe to say Toho is among them. By the way, "Hiroshi Ueda" is actually Koji Ueda, the president of TOHO Global (Toho International's parent company). The other executive producers besides Ota and Ueda belong to Shueisha, Production I.G, and khara (the last one explains why there's overlap with Shin Ultraman, since khara is Hideaki Anno's company).

The main difficulty in approving the show is that the Scope rules would need to be rewritten to accommodate it, preferably in a way that doesn't qualify a bunch of other things. But I'm not sure yet what that would look like. I plan on us hashing it out soon.

Alaska sandbox

Hey Les!

I have been working on a sandbox for Alaska, and I feel like it might be ready for promotion. I sent it to ABB, but I have not received a response. Would the sandbox I have made thus far get the thumbs up?

JohnGojira (talkcontribs)

Never mind, got a response. Thank you!

Daimajin1966 (talkcontribs)

Question: is it supposed to be "Skeleturtle" (as a name) or "the Skeleturtle" (as a term)? The latter makes more sense.

Les (talkcontribs)

I’ve never heard anyone say “the Skeleturtle.” It’s a fanmade pet name.

Titanus Kaiju Fan (talkcontribs)

Hello Les, I asked ABB to add a couple of stuff to the news template, but they haven’t responded. Could you please fulfill my request instead? Thanks.

Titanus Kaiju Fan (talkcontribs)

Some guy on Twitter made a comic showing an interaction between Godzilla and Mothra in G:KOTM right before Mothra gets herself killed by King Ghidorah, and Michael Dougherty has considered it canon. Is this worth noting?

Ultraman rides a dragon cuz yes (talkcontribs)

Godzilla canonically said "Shit"

Titanus Kaiju Fan (talkcontribs)

I imagine that Godzilla and Mothra's overall interaction was the same as in the comic if what Dougherty said is to be believed, but not the exact words they used. Like, what Mothra said meant "hey Godzilla, I'm gonna sacrifice myself for you", but she didn't use those exact words.

Harryhenry (talkcontribs)

Dougherty's comment sounds more in jest than a real declaration of something being canon, but that's just how I see it.

Akira Ifukube

AlphaBeta17 (talkcontribs)

Hello, I was browsing through Akira Ifukube’s page on here, and I noticed that on November 7th, a new section called ‘Musical Supervisor’ was added, with Ifukube’s work on vs Mothra, vs Mechagodzilla II, and Destoroyah (as well as his stock music used in Monster Planet of Godzilla) listed there instead of alongside his other film compositions. Was this a mistake? Because as far as I’m aware, nowhere has it been indicated that Ifukube wasn’t a full composer on those three films. I would’ve corrected it, but since the edit was done by a WikiZilla official, I thought it better to double check first.

Les (talkcontribs)

From G54 to GvKG, Ifukube was credited under 音楽 ("music") but beginning with GvMothra he was given the title 音楽監督. Though 監督 would usually be translated as "director", I went with music supervisor because of its use on those movies' English-language Japanese VHS covers (1 | 2 | 3). Also, though Monster Planet doesn't have credits, the book Heisei Godzilla Perfection gives them, and he's music director/supervisor there too.

We can only speculate on what changed between GvKG and GvMothra, but it definitely doesn't mean that he didn't compose for the movies. If anything, I think it implies a higher level of control over the music and not less. Although realistically, it was probably just a nominal change out of respect for his work. I hope that clears it up!

AlphaBeta17 (talkcontribs)

Wow, that’s really interesting! Thanks for clearing that up!
