Hey, I was wondering

Plantcell (talkcontribs)

I've been looking at the history of Wikizilla, and there's a LOT of drama and biased stuff surrounding The split. Can you tell me what happened?

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

I didn't start editing in earnest until after the fork, so you'd be better off asking anyone else on staff.

Plantcell (talkcontribs)

I ended off asking titanollante. Thank's for taking some time out of your day though.

DreamBrisdin (talkcontribs)

Hi, sorry for keep asking. About Whale God, I've searched Japanese websites, but there is no other websites calling the Whale God as "killer whale".

DreamBrisdin (talkcontribs)

Ah sorry, I didn't know that killer whale is an English alias used for Whale God. Interesting.

Les (talkcontribs)

Yeah, that is the only official English title we know of; it's how it was played in Hawaii.

DreamBrisdin (talkcontribs)

I see, thanks for the information.

Avant Gamera and Toto

DreamBrisdin (talkcontribs)

Can I add a info that Avant Gamera and Toto are presumbly the same individual?

There is a tweet by a person who attended the decade-anniversary event of Gamera the Brave in 2016, and the he says he directly had a talk with Isao Kaneko, and Kaneko told him that "Avant Gamera reincarnated as Toto after releasing energy (self-destruct)".

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

Welcome back!

Is there a source for this besides the tweet, like the Super Complete Works book? That would be ideal.

DreamBrisdin (talkcontribs)

Hi, thanks a lot.

I saw a tweet by other people that Heisei Gamera Perfection and Gamera 2006: Hard Link suggest the reincarnation, but I couldn't find such info (I didn't read in details, so I might have missed if there were corresponding parts).

What I can say is that this person (who tweeted about the reincarnation told by Kaneko) certainly attended the event, as he posted several photos of Avant Gamera's model he took with Tomoo Haraguchi and Kazuaki Sekiyama (Practical effect). So from my point of view, it is unlikely that he made up a story otherwise he would be identified and be criticized by other participants for spreading false information.

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

I conferred with The King of the Monsters - he'd also like a more authoritative source.

DreamBrisdin (talkcontribs)

Thanks. I understand. So, would it be a problem if I add this information as a trivia?

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

Well, yes, we'd like a better source.

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

Didnt he just namedrop two possible book sources though??

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

Both of which are in Japanese, so without page numbers, that's not much help to us.

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

Dont some of you have those books?

Les (talkcontribs)

Owning them isn't the problem. Heisei Gamera Perfection is 300 pages long and written in a language we can't read.

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

I thought you translated some japanese info before?


Also wouldnt a picture showing anything related to the brave be a good indicator to look for it if its in there?

Les (talkcontribs)
I thought you translated some japanese info before?

Translating requires transcribing the entire passage first, and that's impossible if I don't know where it is. I only know enough Japanese to pick out specific words.

Also wouldnt a picture showing anything related to the brave be a good indicator to look for it if its in there?

That's still roughly a quarter of the book. There are tons of pages on the production, and what we're looking for could very well be buried in an interview.

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

Reply is busted

DreamBrisdin (talkcontribs)

Thank you folks.

I've asked the official twitter account about this question, but got no reply so far. I'll let you know when I find a better source.

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

Why would the official Gamera twitter bother replying anyway???

Brand pages never reply to questions of the sort.

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

What's the harm in trying?

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

Because i don't recall any brands account giving specific answers like that

normally that should be directed to the writers or staff if they have an account.

DreamBrisdin (talkcontribs)

I've asked to the official twitter account (the 55th anniversary account) because that account often (or almost always) LIKES to the tweets by fans, and even replies to fans' tweets occasionally.

Mechagodzilla 2 roar in "Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla" (2002)

1
Shin evangelion (talkcontribs)

Hi ABB, I recently re-watched the film on Hulu and I heard something interesting in the fight between Kiryu and Godzilla, Right before Godzilla destroys the remaining shoulder cannon, Kiryu was hit where he made what sounded to be a mix of the 2002 roar and the 1993 roar. Dont know if I should add it into Trivia for the film or not since it happens only once.

Gemstone Godzilla (Godzilla vs Gigan Rex)

8
Shin evangelion (talkcontribs)

Hi ABB, sorry to bother you but, I was watching the 6 min short of the Godzilla vs Gigan Rex where it showed the ending of Godzilla vs Destoroyah, where it had an Adult Godzilla Jr, could this Godzilla be Jr?

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

The film certainly hints at it (especially with Megumi Odaka narrating and that quarter-century remark), but I haven't seen any confirmation yet.

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

Someone asked about that Godzilla getting a page due to its Specific beam ability


Is this allowed?

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

also are we sure its a "quarter of a century after Godzilla vs. Destoroyah"? asking because a quarter of a century is 25 years not 27 years ago which is when Destoroyah was released

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

Sometimes characters speak imprecisely about dates (like everyone in GMK saying that Godzilla's first attack was 50 years ago, even though the film takes place in 2002). And if the short had been released in 2021 as originally planned, it would have been precise, since Destoroyah takes place in 1996.

Shin evangelion (talkcontribs)

So when the Gemstone Godzilla page does get made, will the Godzilla Jr connection be trivia or will it be linked to the Godzilla Jr page?

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

Trivia

did you delete my page on the puppygaming422 incarnation of godzilla?

He's probably not going to watch the Smurf gif

Gorosaurus solos goku (talkcontribs)

if so, can you give a reason why so I can give a reason to put it back? I wasn't even finished writing it!

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

We dont cover low quality youtube parodies.

Gorosaurus solos goku (talkcontribs)

oh my goodness gracious isnt that just a silly reason since the home page says "...we welcome your contributions." it apears you have been owned

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

The home page is an automatic system not the site staff, I highly suggest you read the rules on how to interact with other users.

Gorosaurus solos goku (talkcontribs)

did you see the smurf dance gif

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

Please Stop showing disregard to site policy.

Gorosaurus solos goku (talkcontribs)

ok i will but the smurf did you see it

Gorosaurus solos goku (talkcontribs)
Wyodu (talkcontribs)

No fan fiction is allowed on Wikizilla is because it is not a fanon wiki. If you wish to add fan fiction articles then do so on the Zilla Fanon Wiki or another fan site.

Gorosaurus solos goku (talkcontribs)

ok thanks but you should also see the smurf gif

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

Alright this guy continues to be antagonistic in the comments section after being told trolling is fowned upon on this site on the Two legged lizard page

he has made it very clear he is only here for one reason.

can someone please do something about it?

Gorosaurus solos goku (talkcontribs)

just watch the smurf gif its not that hard

Mill Creek Ultraman Blu-ray's title

5
Daimajin1966 (talkcontribs)

ABB, are you sure that the Mill Creek Blu-ray's title for Ultraman on the home video list is correct? I looked at pictures of both the standard and SteelBook versions and they both say just Ultraman, similar to the other seven titles of that type.

The only other thing I can think of is Amazon, which does use the title on the list. Am I right here?

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)
Daimajin1966 (talkcontribs)

Okay, I kind of figured that. My next question is: should the other seven standard/SteelBook combos be changed, also?

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

It seems unnecessary when Mill Creek hasn't released any other permutations of those shows.

Daimajin1966 (talkcontribs)

Okay, thanks.

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

Didn't realize it used plagiarized Dopepope art, that's cringe. I agree that it's extremely unlikely to tie in with the new movie (especially if only France is getting it).

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

Should the art plagerism be mentioned in triva?

Actually i recall another instance of a Muto model he made being used at an expo booth for the MonsterVerse which feels really insulting considering he designed Tiamat for them

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

Sure, it can be mentioned

Zillaman98 (talkcontribs)

Joe barton mentioned the sequel in an interview for some unrelated project and gave some insight on the status of the film.

https://variety.com/2022/tv/global/joe-barton-bastard-son-devil-himself-netflix-interview-1235412365/


Q: "You’re also working on a “Cloverfield” sequel. Are you writing it with JJ?"


A: "No, I’m writing it on my own, JJ is a producer on it. So I go away and do my drafts and then he gives notes and the Bad Robot execs give notes, and then he’ll jump in occasionally and look at drafts and stuff. I imagine probably the next one, because Babak Anvari just came on to direct so we’re getting closer to production. I’m doing some revisions at the moment and the hope would be that this would be the last sort of big script push, and then we get on to actually making it."


Sounds like production will begin soonish?

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

Here's hoping!

Variety was not the first site to Report the 4th cloverfield movie Deadline was the first site to report it.

They had it listed as an Exclusive

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

Fixed!
