    The obvious difference is that previous Godzilla monsters were designed around the man-in-suit limitations, whilst with this they are using CGI so going in the complete opposite direction. Look how awkward the limbs are - there's no way a creature like that could look in any way believable without it being computer animated. It's obvious they were desperate to get away from the 'man-in-suit' look, and instead created something incredibly retarded looking.. the Cloverfield monster's ugly cousin. :elstare:

    But they aren't going in the complete opposite direction. Just like with Pacific Rim the digital creatures are still based around a human form. That one you say is awkward is based on a human form, it could be built as a suit. You need to look closer, it's totally human with short stilts projecting off the foot and pole/stilt extensions for arm supports.

    The smaller wasteline arms would be puppeteered or mechanical when they needed to move and then it's got a big head mask that tries to camo the operator's shoulders. Alternately, the smaller arms could be the guy in the suit while the larger arms could be puppeteered.

    Half those TOHO creations up there are just goofy. Expecially the first and fourth ones. They're just bad. Biollante and the one above the bottom example are pretty cool though. Then there's a whole era, or multiple eras, of Godzilla himself with a completely crude, lumpy dog turd face. And though I loved him as a kid, I don't think Gamera has ever had a good design for a head. Like maybe not ever.

    Maybe you could puppeteer it but it would move pretty awkwardly. This design is obviously based off the Cloverfield monster.



    And I think only the first design of those Godzilla monsters looks goofy. The rest look pretty cool.

    Puppets like that have been around for ages. You just have to be Captain Contrary, count.

    Yeah, you can see how they move:

    This thing with its four arms, is obviously designed that way because of CGI. Puppet? Stop-motion, maybe.

    I'd also like to point out that there is a flying monster in this film that problebly weighs an easy several hundred tons, maybe even thousands, we havn't got a good size estiment on it, and yet despite this huge mass of weight, it manages to get airborne. It's a giant monster movie. Some level of suspencion of disbelief is required. Just relax and wait for it to do battle with the big G.

    Count, you seem to know less about puppeteering than CGI. Did you know your average muppet is operated by two people? That's just a hand puppet. Discomfort, pain and the distinct possibility of injury from strain is part of the job for a Henson level puppeteer.

    I really hope that's not a dis on the Dark Crystal creature, or some kind of critique of their motion as a form of giveaway that what you're seeing isn't real. I hope not.

    Ummm, you're schooling me on what exactly? The Alien Queen was a pretty brilliant puppet. That thing moved very damn well and looked awesome. I'm not saying anything bad about puppetry, it's a brilliant craft.

    You appeared to be in need of some schooling. What you wrote displayed a lack of intuition and insight.

    Lets just save final judgement on everything until the films out in May. All signs are pointing too good things here, but who knows.

    I saw the trailer in the movie theater last night and it looks awesome on the big screen. I might have to go catch this in my local IMAX!

    Another TV spot, dosn't show much new except for the phone call, but it does end on an awesome spot of Godzilla's Hand and Aaron Taylor-Johnson seeing it, giving a true scale the size of Godzilla.

    Rumor is that they arn't gonna call him blatantly "Godzilla" in the film, which if true then that line of "A Monster?" "No....A god" honestly works so well. Also, I've always wanted the God part of Godzilla to be more emphesized.
