:::The show is not 'paleo-themed' in the slightest. Rodan was ''compared'' to dinosaurs, but it is concluded that he is not one. These are creatures humanity has never seen.

Dinosaur

The skeleton of this Godzilla was *clearly* referred as a "dinosaur skeleton". He is a dinosaur, like you that or no.--Allosaurus (talk) 19:20, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

That doesn't mean he actually is a dinosaur, that's just the best way the character can think to describe him. All signs point to the kaiju of Singular Point having a much weirder origin.--Astounding Beyond Belief (talk) 19:22, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
I know, but Godzilla's skeleton looks exactly like a dinosaur skeleton, Godzilla was always based on dinosaurs, and finally (the most important argument) the series is just filled with prehistoric reptiles like Radons or Anguirus. I don't think it was a random comparison, in movies where Godzilla isn't a dinosaur although looks like a one, like in Shin Godzilla (I mean the final form), there's no mentioning of it. When Toho didn't want to confirm Millenium Gojiras were dinosaurs, they didn't mention its resemblance. But now, when the series is paleo-themed, Gojira was called "a dinosaur". I don't think it's a coincidence. --Allosaurus (talk) 19:32, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
The show is not 'paleo-themed' in the slightest. Rodan was compared to dinosaurs, but it is concluded that he is not one. These are creatures humanity has never seen. Anguirus could've evolved from a Rodan. Speculation about what does and doesn't "look" like a dinosaur is meaningless to the actual narrative of the show. Godzilla hasn't even shown up yet, his origin is far from confirmed. I don't see a point in making such a sure statement about him being a dinosaur on the page without an ounce of evidence.
It's also worth mentioning that the glossary on the Singular Point site refers to the Godzilla skeleton as the bones of an "unidentified creature" the details of which are "completely unknown." Les (main | talk) 19:45, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
Radon never was a dinosaur, it is just an innacuracy in the show. But you mean they weren't pterosaurs?! That's just an absurd. I have nothing to say. 😆 And Anguirus didn't evolve from Radon. Just characters think so. Also Gojira remains unindentified, because in-universe this species was never known. -Allosaurus (talk) 19:50, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

I didn't realize someone really can think that Radon isn't a pterosaur. Having supernatural powers or being a mythical creature don't mean they can't be classified as normal animals.

In this show, no, he is not. What part of a radioactive creature that emits radio waves, doesn't have any digestive organs, and doesn't even have homeobox genes (which every living creature on the planet has) sounds like a Pteranodon?

Les (main | talk) 20:23, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
No one said it is a Pteranodon, but is a pterosaur, because it is fictional and it was made for a show. "They very explicitly say that Rodan's DNA was compared against all known creatures and there was no match." I didn't realize it is set in Jurassic Park universe, where they have pterosaur DNA.

Ultima’s height

So I’m hearing some counter arguments that they were referring to the cloud itself, that’s 100 meters tall, and not Godzilla.

Art Spirits Figures

Can anyone confirm if this is real? https://twitter.com/kaijunewsoutlet/status/1429268287955873794 -- Keeri'ijra (talk)

its a real toyline and its old why ask? --
