True American Godzilla

At 1:14 or 1:15 minutes we see a strange building top, which looks to around the same height as the American Godzilla. Again this Godzilla isn't right next to this building the viewer is falling towards, but the size seems to be around as massive as this building.

 

The building is 555 California Street building

This building is 779' (237.4 Meters) tall! If I'm right about my estimation, then the American Godzilla is around 779' tall!

To help us get a visual on just how massive our American Godzilla is vs (some) of its previous incarnations, I have put together a wallpaper (I made sure to give credit to whom the images belong to). Just in case, copy the image location to a new tab to see it full sized.

 

The 1954 Gojira was the very 1st Gojira ever and is the very monster the American Godzilla is based off of.

The 1998 Zilla (more of an enhanced Gojirasaurus than a Gojira) was America's 1st experiment with a "realistic" Godzilla. I like Zilla, even though I know it isn't a Godzilla/Gojira. The looks were cool and inspired me to look for a realistic monster worthy of challenging Godzilla. Over the years I decided to make Godzilla's traits realistic, but then I got word of the Legendary Pictures version and was glad to see that some of the cool traits and realistic quality was a big part of it!

The Final Wars Gojira, aka the 50th Anniversary of Gojira, was the last Japanese version before its temporary retirement. Before the 2014 American Godzilla, Final Wars Gojira was the #1 monster around, and beat America's monster. I'm glad to see America got a new Godzilla, though any rematch wouldn't even last as long as Zilla vs Gojira if my size estimation is correct.

I plan on updating the wallpaper once...

1: We get an official height of our Godzilla.

2: We get a better but official FULL VIEW (instead of the 75% view I'm using below) of the American Godzilla.

 

I hope you enjoy the wallpaper! {Wished it wasn't scrunched to fit though, so again copy link to a NEW TAB to view it correctly}

 

I believe in Jesus Christ, who's my Lord and Savior.

as far as size not mattering when it comes to godzilla, i agree, but well have to wait and see how unstoppable this new Godzilla will really be, i'm hoping for the strongest one yet.

@GOJIRAFANG: Kiezer Ghidorah was only 120 to 140 meters (not 900). Every Godzilla/Gojira is extremely strong physically. So a 100 Meter Gojira wouldn't be able to match a newer version of Godzilla that dwarfs the Final Wars Gojira in a strength battle.

@"GODZILLA_HIMSELF": Just being this massive, estimated, would already make it more difficult to stop than Japanese Gojira. Our Godzilla seems to have armor skin, so this would really add to its "unstoppable" aspect.

This height is unfathomable for a living thing, at least in film ahaha. I really hope the official height is close to this!

TRUE AMERICAN GODZILLA: I was merely refering to godzilla vs other, sometimes bigger monsters. as far as a bigger, more armored godzilla being more dangerous than any so far, i totally agree. btw, i really did like your point about the armor, just look at what a normal sized crocodile can withstand.

Godzilla actually looks a little taller than that building, look at the very last frame, and hes leaning over. I'd estimate him to be around 250m standing straight up, and around 235 - 240 walking.

hmm.... this looks promising but I'm not sure how tall Godzilla will be in the final film. However I will be looking forward to the movie when it comes out.

zilla was pathetic as a godzilla, ive heard it said that it would have been fine as the beast from 20,000 fathoms and i agree. also, despite what some thinck, zilla was a far less realistic design, even at its lower wight than any godzilla, it's legs were simply not thick enough to support it. granted, the classic godzilla designs arent realistic, but their thick legs and tripod stance is closer to reality. This new design however, is epic.

well godzilla was in the old movies 100 feet tall. but by the size in the trailer you can she the hes taller then the buildings. and dont forgt the buildings to day are taller then in 1954 and 2000 so godzillas size is going to be 600 feet tall

MemberMothra LarvaeDec-14-2013 4:54 PM

I can prove this estimation wrong with one sentence: The trailer displays the 555 building in full view as the soldiers are descending and Godzilla is nowhere in sight despite the fact that we know he's practically right underneath them.

At 56 seconds in the trailer, you see the 555 building and the Transamerica Pyramid in plain sight as the soldiers fall, and if Godzilla was 779' tall as you claim then he would be in full view during that segment of the trailer.

This estimation is completely wrong, period.

Your chart needs to replace the image of the Heisei 90s Godzilla. You have the Final Wars  'zilla which is 60 meters tall.  This is the 90s Godzilla.  100 meters tall.

@Kyero: In the part where the paratroopers see Godzilla, Godzilla is walking forward. Considering the angle and size of the city of San Francisco, Godzilla could easily have been farther back in the middle of the city (those skyscrapers are near the shore, not the middle) so Godzilla wouldn't be visible in that shot.

 

Besides, again at your 55 second spot, we see a lot of cloud/smoke cover behind the skyscrapers, Godzilla could easily be within it and still not be visible.

Tickled that we're discussing buildings that I walk amongst all week long. I work a block away from both the TA and BofA skyscrapers! Sometimes I'll go to the 20th fl of our building and take in the view like I'm in a jaeger.

@Kyero.  I don't know why you had to point that out for me to realize that, because I had already noticed that you couldn't see him in that scene.  You are right, he can't be that big, which of course goes back to Gareth's desire to make him big, but not so big he can't be hidden.

in the last scene of the trailer with all the dust and big G turns and roars, as the camera tilts up along his spine you have a pretty clear size comparison of his tallest spike from the buildings on the left. i came to an estimation of 6  stories or 18 metres. i then took that measure and using the most closely looking sillouette image i could find, i was able to get an estimate of around 150 mtrs or 465 ft.

MemberMothra LarvaeDec-20-2013 7:31 PM

problem with your analysis is as the sky divers keeps falling you see the top of that building race up while G is still kind of in frame. seeing as we are looking diagonaly toward G, you can't get a true measure. if G was the same height, at that camera angle he would of moved up off top of screen by the time that building did the same but that's not what happens which means he must be somewhat shorter than that building.

its like America is like HAHA to TOHOs godzilla and the mistake in '98 by making him almost  too big. a couple of my friends are actually mad about him being so big.

I for one believe that this Godzilla... will have a chemical release from with in its body.. which due to the radioactive components will make him electrical and deadly. I think his breath will be similar to what you or I would do when we cough or sneeze. The combination of chemicals that are electrically charged in conjunction with a forced output (cough or sneeze if you will)... mixed with oxygen.. then gets ignited and turns extremely hot. enough so to melt steel... much like the original one did in 54. also I think of salt acid and thermite... both of which are devistating when ignited. this Godzilla could possess that and keeping it realistic... if he does.. it would make sense. Think about his size and what the velocity of a cough or sneeze of a creature that large would be like.. then add the discharge of a radioactive/chemical/electricalto that and BAM.. YOU HAVE YOUR BADASS BREATH. what u tink ???

Holy Sykes! thats gonna be awsome if hes really that huge!

MemberMothra LarvaeJan-14-2014 1:02 PM

This godzilla jus plain old looks bad ass. As we all know hieght matters nothing. Picture this, in the 1954 film they had to create a weapon strong enough to kill him because conventional and atomic weapons dontwork, and he odviously feeds on nuclear energy so nukes dont work either. This big bad mamma jamma might be around for a while.
