I assume you're the one who's been scrutinizing Titan x-rays - if so, congrats! (If not, I reckon you'll find it interesting anyway.) I had foolishly assumed Wikizilla's Titan video would be the last word on the matter, and it's nice to still be learning things about this movie. However, it's essential to keep in mind that these x-rays come from set photos/footage, and the Titan lineup changed during post-production. Thanks to the Bloody Disgusting set report, we know that Abaddon moved from Cambodia to Wyoming, Leviathan moved from the Indian Ocean to Cambodia, and Sargon moved from Mexico to... well, oblivion.

Below are my own attempts at Titan ID. I have not been able to figure out where that delightful image of Mike Dougherty zooming around on a swivel chair comes from (it's not in the "Castle Bravo" bonus feature), but I did find another angle from IGN's set visit.

the Arizona Titan looks like the male muto.

VaderRaptor (talkcontribs)

You're right! You can see the wings (maybe) and appendages that look like MUTO appendages. It could also be the new MUTO with the supposed wings being it's back.

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

If you can find a Male MUTO photo that matches it, great, but these x-rays tend to be zoomed-in and from odd angles. (Look at Rodan's!)

AngiraBlu (talkcontribs)

This is the first I've heard of this. But how does anyone know for a fact who's who, besides Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah? They're all too blurry. (I know the guy said that he used a magnifying glass, but still...)

  • Abaddon being the new MUTO (Yamamuto/Bosmuto, as I've called her [Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug MUTO/Boston MUTO])??? Kinda weird that they'd give a female kaiju the name of a demon (*whom I believe could possibly be the Red Horseman of War*).
  • Typhon being an.....oversized starfish??? OK, it's a little out there, but it DOES make sense, when you think about it.
  • Bunyip as a prehistoric reptile. Not surprising. Heard that one before.
  • ???Titanus Aqrabuamelu??? Sounds like our Scorpion Titan!
  • Sekhmet as a snake/centipede??? They coulda used Serqet/Selket. Although she's represented by snakes and scorpions. Oh well, nobody's perfect.
Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

Regarding visibility, I was only able to ID Abaddon and Leviathan from the set report and looking at the maps in the lower left of each readout, while Sargon was a matter of "there's no way they would have three Titans in Mexico." Bunyip's name is partially visible in the second picture I posted.

Also, I have no idea where this person pulled Aqrabuamelu from, and the Abaddon location change rules out that being the name for the new MUTO. (Gojipedia is already treating both as fact, because of course they are.)

AngiraBlu (talkcontribs)

(on Gojipedia) Yeah, I noticed that. All we really need now is some confirmation on, well, EVERYTHING involving the other Titans. Maybe from Dougherty or if the Monarch Sciences site ever updates. You'd think we would've gotten some more info, by now. But NOOO. Hate being left in the dark.

VaderRaptor (talkcontribs)

I'm still confused on this entire thing, so I'll let you three (or two) discuss this and I'll let you know if I figure anything out.

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

What's confusing you?

VaderRaptor (talkcontribs)

Everything except when and why this came up.

Kaijuzill (talkcontribs)

are there more mammal kaiju than reptile kaiju like Godzilla?

I can barely see what Abaddon looks like. Dang, they really need to start showing more high resolution pics, rather than blurry one that leave us hanging. It's rather annoying, actually.

Kaijuzill (talkcontribs)

I got a name for the eygpt Titan, it's "Shuntunga".

AngiraBlu (talkcontribs)

The Egyptian one is Sekhmet. Legendary made it VERY clear that it was Sekhmet.

Kaijuzill (talkcontribs)

what about the Israel Titan?

AngiraBlu (talkcontribs)

Not sure. One source says its Aqrabuamelu, which sounds A LOT like our scorpion Titan. However, this is still unconfirmed. But it does make sense, when ya think about it. Aqrabuamelu/Girtablilu are the terms used for the Scorpion Men of Mesopotamian lore. Plus, Mesopotamia was located near where modern-day Israel is, with Lebanon and a portion of Syria between them.

VaderRaptor (talkcontribs)

Mesopotamia includes Israel in it (it's more of a huge region rather than a specific place).

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

There's no true source for Aqrabuamelu; it seems to be completely invented by the person I linked to after staring at some low-res images for too long.

VaderRaptor (talkcontribs)

According to Gojipedia, (I regret using them as a "source") the Aqrabuamelu is in some concept art for G:KotM.

AngiraBlu (talkcontribs)

I'm guilty of seeing said video and trying to convince Wikizilla people that the scorpion and Sargon were one and the same. I was overly anxious for the reveals of the rest of the unseen Titans and I got carried away. That's my bad for believing what other people say on the web, without any reliable sourcing. X( X( X(

AngiraBlu (talkcontribs)

Maybe they should try finding the Man in the Sun? Eh? Eh? Anyone?

(...awkward silence...)

VaderRaptor (talkcontribs)

I'm not much of a "Palestinian writer and political activist" kind of guy.

AngiraBlu (talkcontribs)

Huh?

I meant like how there's a supposed Man in the Moon, but I used the sun instead. Plus, the sun's TOO DANG BRIGHT to visualize anything on it.

Get it? It's a joke.

VaderRaptor (talkcontribs)

I get it now.

AngiraBlu (talkcontribs)

Ooooh, NOW I see what you were talking about! A 1962 book called Men in the Sun. That makes sense.

Kaijuzill (talkcontribs)

what if it was a sea serpent?

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)
VaderRaptor (talkcontribs)

I though Methuselah was in Munich?

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

In the film, yes, but that was a change made in post-production.

AngiraBlu (talkcontribs)

Makes sense that they'd originally have Methuselah in Israel. Methuselah was Noah's 969-year-old grandfather, thereby making him an ancestor of Abraham, his son Isaac, and his son Jacob/Israel.

ShodaiMeesmothLarva (talkcontribs)

I'm getting bumped that Gojipedia still lets the users have a page for Aqrabuamelu even though there are no current sources citing this monster exists. Plus they already confirmed the six-legged MUTO as Abaddon without any proof.

This is one of the reasons why I can't trust Gojipedia these days.

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

I'm surprised you lasted this long!

Kaijuzill (talkcontribs)

Methuselah's origins in the monsterverse is different from the real Methuselah.

AngiraBlu (talkcontribs)

I know that. I'm saying that it's kinda like a nod to the actual Methuselah. (Probably should've elaborated more on that.)
