Mushroom Godzilla looks promising but it's really just a malnourished Shin from the neck up. (2024)

 

looks promising but it's really just a malnourished Shin from the clavicle up.

Had a feeling I saw that right profile before, & I did. It's one of Shin's concepts. Just thin the neck, stretch it, and now *^bidi-bop bada boom, you have a different Gojira but nah and yet: kinda- IF the lore is on point.

Now if it's head actually looked like a mushroom, a lot wider cranium/jaw, more pronounced skull base protrusion, but the eyes stayed the exact same width but the head specifically is wider by 2-3x- it'd look more unique and 5x more terrifying especially when it turns it's head at 5 mph, slow as shit on some Aku.

Now that wouldn't look anything like a godzilla in the face, but It'd actually compete if not surpass Shin's own freak factor. Because everything else would look like godzilla except that face/head, and give it a second head within the mushroom.

Say it disperses radiological spores or something when it reaches the end of it's life cycle, it just blows up at 150-300ft tall, a walking nuke that self-terminates to expand it's life essence by turning people into mini-godzilla mushrooms which it's consciousness is housed within. Same goes for trees, animals, etc. He invades organic life, period.

So it died but not really, like Godzilla Earth, it's a terraforming entity. Like a human's own reproduction cycle, it spawns perpetually to continue it's genetics thus achieving a form of immortality through it's children, down to infecting even ants.

With overgrowths coming out the humans eyes, mouth, ears, etc. Dorsal fins coming out the clothes, basically Minus-One's possible direction, just more "Last of Us" with a hint of The Thing 1982, Color out of Space, Annihilation, etc.

TL;DR It looks good because it looks like Shin, but it's not leaning hard enough in the direction it's going for to really be it's own profile. Looks good regardless.
