Well, one thing is for sure – yes, he has atomic breath. That’s been confirmed. As for the rest? Who knows, for sure…
There are 13 things I’m pretty certain will not be in the new film opening May 16th and I’ve compiled them here. If anything, this collection only goes to show where the Toho franchise steered Godzilla and how much of an impact he’s had on pop culture since being introduced as a harbinger of doom in 1954.
Things Not in Godzilla
Shock Till You Drop compiles a list of 13 things we're sure are not in Legendary's Godzilla
-
No Minya
C'mon, does the new Godzilla actually look like it has room for the King of the Monsters' goofy, inbred-looking offspring? Tonally-speaking: No, no room for Minya or his juvenile cowardice.
-
Rodan?
Nope. And you can speculate all you want that you spotted this winged kaiju in the trailer for Godzilla...but that wasn't Rodan. It's something new.
-
Flying
Will Godzilla tuck his tail and use his atomic breath to fly across the screen to get around? Doubtful.
-
This Crap
Nope. Sorry, P. Diddy. You're not welcome here.
-
Flying Fist
It's highly unlikely Godzilla's fist will detach from his arm as demonstrated by this popular toy from my youth.
-
Mechagodzilla
Mechagodzilla is sequel fodder. Still, similar to Minya, it doesn't seem like it would be tonally consistent with what Edwards and Legendary Pictures are going for with this interpretation.
-
Happy Godzilla
2014 Godzilla doesn't look like a happy dude. A "happy dance" (as seen here) seems out of the question. Further, the new Godzilla's legs and tail don't look conducive to cutting up the floor.
-
No...
...Godzilla will not be seen as part of the Green Lantern Corps.
-
Xiliens
These inhabitants of Planet X are a pain in the ass, but I'm not seeing evidence of their appearance in Godzilla. No sir.
-
Jet Jaguar
I'd be all for an appearance by this rad robot who appeared in Godzilla vs. Megalon...but no. He's not in Godzilla.
-
King Kong
Not the time for a crossover just yet!
-
Charles Barkley
Godzilla ain't got time for basketball!
-
Jason Voorhees
As much as we want to see Jason Voorhees take on every cinematic icon...I just don't think this is going to happen. Ever.
