    To give an idea of what these protagonists are like, one just proposed a hypothesis that a newly developed material defies the law of conservation of energy by refracting light through time, and another commented on a monster's foreleg tracks indicating a plantigrade and the back leg tracks indicating a digitigrade.

    Basically, whereas Godzilla vs Kong barely explained anything about the energy source, expect a whole lot of explanation of pseudoscience in this show.

    EDIT: To put it another way, it seems like the people behind Godzilla Singular Point were inspired by those articles about how Godzilla is physically impossible and made a show about scientists who are well aware that giant monsters can't exist and are therefore very curious when giant monsters show up anyway.

    So I just learned the screenwriter of Godzilla Singular Point, Toh EnJoe, actually has an impressive academic background:
    Born in 1972 in Sapporo. He graduated from the physics department of Tohoku University, then went on to the graduate school at University of Tokyo and received Ph.D. for a mathematical physical study on the natural languages. He worked as a post-doc researcher at several research institutes for seven years, then abandoned the academic career in 2007 and found a job as a at a software firm, which he left in 2008 to become a full-time writer.

    Godzilla Singular Point is his first time as a screenwriter for an entire show, and his only previous works for anime were writing two episodes of Space Dandy: "I'm Never Remembering You, Baby" and "An Other Dimensional Tale, Baby".

    Read the two prequel comics. Los of new Kaiju all over these books, but no Toho ones besides the ones that already show up.

    Godzilla: Dominion
    So, apparently while the Titans were repairing the world, there just wasn't enough available nuclear material to keep the fed and they start acting in defiance of Godzilla, who himself is growing weaker now that his home got blown up. In the end, he sends them all back into hibernation while Kong himself locates and old home of his that he was forced out of by a Kong.

    Also, interestingly, the book refers to Ghidorah as "The Antagonist" but Kongs as "the Rival."

    Kingdom Kong
    So there was a Hollow Earth entrance on Skull Island, but in the process of opening it back up, Ghidorah's storm (which never went away) gets pull to the Island where it merges with that Island's natural storm, and the megatorm provides enough cover for a Bat Kaiju (who is vulnerable to light) to reemerge. Kong and the humans defeat it, but are worried that it's emergence has destabalized the Hollow Earth entrance and suggest that sending anyone down there might collapse the tunnel for good. They comic also talks about Kong being so large that he's no longer a viable part of the Island's ecosystem and that he may have to be moved.

    Also the comic makes clear the Iwi were not annihilated, but had to be relocated due to the storms.

    I can't imagine that that much of a resemblance could be an accident.
    I mean, there's enough ways to go with "Giant radioactive mutant lizard monster" that don't wind up at '98 Zilla, that they wouldn't wind up that close to the mark unintentionally.

    God, even the title is shitty. Not Giant Ape vs Monster Lizard, or Ape vs Lizard; Ape vs Monster.

    Like, I almost can't believe they made a title that badly on accident. Are Asylum films secretly not shitty films, but a satire on the entire film industry. A riff on the lack of creativity and falling into the trap of recreating the same stuff over and over again? Perhaps we have fallen for the greatest ruse ever conceived by mankind?

    The bolded is a weird inconsistency between the comic, movie, and novelization.
    Kingdom Kong establishes that the Iwi were relocated. Godzilla vs Kong says they were wiped out. The novelization, despite referencing elements of Kingdom Kong (Camazotz, the bat monster, is mentioned by name a surprising number of times) also has Ilene Andrews believing the Iwi were wiped out.

    So either the fate of the Iwi is a last-minute retcon that invalidates what happens to them in Kingdom Kong, or Monarch relocated them and somehow kept it secret even from other Monarch employees.

    I refuse to believe the human nation with the most understanding and common interaction with monsters get wiped out.

    I want them to turn up in a follow-up film on a ship made of giant bones and inflatable kaiju glands.

    So Adam Wingard (Godzilla vs Kong's director) is reportedly in talks for another MonsterVerse movie, with one tentative title being "Son of Kong".

    Legendary also just posted this video to Twitter in which the four directors of the MonsterVerse discuss the possibility of a new director joining them and what advice they'd give them:

    Godzilla Singular Point Episode 5
    - Kaiju introduced so far: Anguirus, Gabara, Manda (multiple), Rodan (multiple flocks of thousands)
    - Anguirus (who starts out about the size of a tank, but later grows significantly larger) gets shot once and actually bleeds from it. The second time it has a gun barrel aimed at it, from short range no less, it activates some kind of ability that allows it to predict the bullet's trajectory and move one of its spines to block the projectile. One of the protagonist's, Yun, deduces that due to the speed of the bullet, the close range of its firing point, and the speed that neurons transmit information, the only way Anguirus can accomplish this feat is if it can predict the future.
    - There's an organization called the SHIVA Consortium, which I'm sure isn't up to anything nefarious at all.
    - Next episode: Jet Jaguar vs Anguirus!

    So Godzilla Singular Point is doing this interesting thing where it's using elements of classic Toho kaiju to create new creatures instead of just creating new incarnations of old creatures (though those are present, as well).
    A creature that is clearly inspired by Gabara has been named Salunga in the show. Unlike Gabara, this creature has a build more like a gorilla, as well as a tail. Wikizilla's page also points out similarities to Baragon in the design (the back plates, the larger forward facing horn, and the tail).

    u0dcm9xtnycf.png

    Godzilla himself has an aquatic from called Godzilla Aquatilis that incorporates features of Titanosaurus, as well as an amphibious form called Godzilla Amphibia that resembles Varan.

    The most bizarre example, though, are creatures that appear to be a fusion of Megalon, Kumonga, and Hedorah. The body looks like if you took Megalon's head and put them on a spider's body, and for some reason not yet explained when killed creatures that resemble Hedorah emerge from them!

    Also, Jet Jaguar fans are going to be very happy with this series, I think.
    xfsceaskwk9t.png

    Versions of Jet Jaguar fought both Rodan and Anguirus, actually managing to kill the latter despite being much smaller (RIP Anguirus). This current incarnation is called Jet Jaguar Yung, who wields a spear made from one of Anguirus' spikes.

    BTW, turns out both Godzilla vs Kong and Godzilla Singular Point have one weird similarity:
    Both use the bones of monsters as part of a computer system. It's such a weirdly specific coincidence that I'm wondering if there was some strange discovery regarding bones in the last few years.

    Here's the ending sequence again, this time with a list of references pointed out:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz75aZj_wdE&t=2s
    * The sequence begins with Mei Kamino sleeping face-down on a desk, holding a pencil with a Super X pencil topper. One of the books on the desk features Mothra's symbol on the cover. Next to her is a portable DVD player, which displays an advertisement for Bireley's Orange.
    * She is awoken by a news report, which shows a woman resembling Kayoco Anne Patterson from Shin Godzilla reporting on the appearances of several monsters for the fictional network GNN.
    * A man and woman are first seen standing next to a giant egg which pulses red, similar to BabyGodzilla's egg from Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II.
    * Biollante is then seen floating on Lake Ashi in her Flower Beast form, followed by an Anguirus resembling the Showa incarnation erupting from underground in a city. Near Atami Castle, Miki Saegusa from the Heisei Godzilla series and Yuri Tachibana, Haruki Kadokura, and Jun Maruo from GMK witness a flying Hedorah whizz past. Finally, the Rodan from Godzilla: King of the Monsters can be seen flying through the clouds from a jet cockpit.
    * Next, Mei runs past several wrecked cars. Akane Yashiro, Tokumitsu Yuhara and his daughter Sara from Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla can be seen talking behind an Anti-Megalosaurus Force truck. Mei also wears a Kiryu Squad patch.
    * In the next scene, a man resembling Daisuke Serizawa from the original Godzilla is seen inspecting the corpse of a Meganulon from Rodan alongside Mitsuo Katagiri. A crowd surrounds them, composed of Shinichi Ozaki, Miyuki Otonashi, Douglas Gordon, and Anna Otonashi from Godzilla: Final Wars, Yuji Shinoda, Io Shinoda, Yuki Ichinose, and Shiro Miyasaka from Godzilla 2000: Millennium along with the Godzilla Prediction Network truck, Ichiro Miki and his friend Sachiko from All Monsters Attack, and Gengo Odaka, Machiko Shima, Tomoko Tomoe, Shosaku Takasugi, Takeshi Shima, Fumio Sudo, Kubota, and two Nebulan agents from Godzilla vs. Gigan. The shadows of the Nebulan agents reveal their true forms.
    * In the following scene, Mei observes her laptop screen which displays "TERZETTO," "GAMESOME" and "TIGERISH" backward, along with the letters O and D. Letters light up red to spell out the name of kaiju, including Godzilla, Rodan, "Meganuron," Anguirus and Manda. A video can then be seen paused on her screen, showing Yoshimura, Dayo, Yata and Ryota from Ebirah, Horror of the Deep with a Shockirus from The Return of Godzilla skewered on a pole.
    * After this, a Godzilla footprint is shown stamped into a road. Ichiro Miki and Sanko from All Monsters Attack are seen being held back by police. Nearby, Yukio Keuchi, Miki Fujinomiya, Ken Yano, Toshie Yano, and Toru Yano from Godzilla vs. Hedorah, and Sachiko from All Monsters Attack can be seen observing the footprint. In the corner of the frame, Shinpei Minami and Ichiro's parents Kenkichi and Tamie are stood behind a police barricade.
    * The next shot shows a Showa-era Kumonga climbing on the front of a building, next to a sign with the Shobijin on it. On the ground, Zone Fighter, Zone Angel and Zone Junior from Zone Fighter, Namikawa from Invasion of Astro-Monster, and Hiromi Ogashira, the cleaning lady, and several board members from Shin Godzilla are among the onlookers.
    * The next scene depicts the Shobijin from Final Wars standing below Mothra, who flies a short distance away.
    * In the next scene, King Caesar can be seen biting Manda in the middle of a city. Among the fleeing citizens are Keisuke Shimizu, Masahiko Shimizu, Saeko Kanagusuku, Nami Kunigami, Tengan Kunigami, Hideto Miyajima, Ikuko Miyajima, Nanbara and what resembles a Simian all from Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, as well as Niko Tatopoulos, Audrey Timmonds, Philippe Roaché, Lucy Palotti, Victor Palotti, Mendel Craven, Elsie Chapman and Mayor Ebert from the 1998 GODZILLA.
    * The next shot shows a damaged Showa Jet Jaguar holding Megalon's horn next to Kiryu, who turns his head backward similar to the Showa Mechagodzilla. Among the onlookers is the vagrant from The Return of Godzilla.
    * In the penultimate shot, a Godzilla is seen picking up a train before firing his atomic breath into the distance. In the foreground, characters resembling Naotaro Daigo from Final Wars and Kyohei Yamane from the original Godzilla are depicted.
    * Finally, Mei is seen back on her laptop in a coffee shop. Behind her, characters resembling Emiko Yamane and Hideto Ogata from the original Godzilla and Machiko Tsuge and Hayato Igarashi from the Kiryu Saga can be spotted sitting at tables together.

    I went through the ED to look for some of these. Sure enough, the scene with the dead Meganulon has four guys with cockroach-like shadows behind them. I am extremely impressed both by all the homages to past Godzilla series actors as well as whoever identified all these people.

    EDIT: I also just discovered that one shot in one episode visible portions of stuffed animals that resemble Godzooky and various monsters from the 1998 Godzilla cartoon. They aren't show in their entirety (I assume because of copyright issues), but wow.

    The ending sequence for the new Godzilla anime features damn near every human character to ever appear in the franchise (surprisingly even including the cast from the 1998 movie), and now I've found a YouTube video pointing out every single reference and comparing the characters in the ending sequence with images of the people from the movies.

    3 episodes in and I'm liking Singular Point so far, though definitely a bit less city-crushing than I'd prefer. My main takeaway so far though is that the pronunciation of Rodan as "Radon" in a Godzilla dub I was watching with a friend earlier was actually the original japanese one and I was wrong to complain about it.

    I liked Singular Point as well, but I did have some reservations:

    (End spoilers)
    The pacing leading into the finale was too rushed, and JJ suddenly growing large to just hold Godzilla’s mouth open while it transmits the code and then disappears felt way out in left field. Some of the filler needed to be cut so this could have been expanded, or it needed an episode for more build up around the final confrontation.

    That being said I really liked everything else about this.

    If Rita does her usual thing with the staff, will the Earth just crack in half when Godzilla gets even bigger? :D

    Is this someone just screwing with the wiki? or Fanfic? It's talking about some sort of Reiwa Series in conjunction with a Philippine company. You can't find information about any of it anywhere else, so I'm assuming its fake.
