Godzilla 2 Monsters: King Ghidorah origins teased in latest MONARCH viral video!

Interesting. It looks like ghidorah is gonna be woken up from the ice. I wonder if it'll be a result of the mutos, or a result of big G himself! The other thing that's been on my mind is if he'll be an alien or a freak or nature like the other monsters? Lets hope comic con brings about something awesome!

He's probably going to be a freak of nature.

That is awesome!

"The devil has three heads"

That line sends chills down my spines!

So... unbelievably... awesome.

Fingers crossed for Mothra and Rodan timeline entries soon!

In more excited for this than monster planet

Danzilla93....There was another timeline detail revealed along with the Ghidorah one, stating that in 1991 a containment facility was put around the mouth of a dormant volcano on Isla de Mona. I'm thinking a hint at Rodan?  There was also another one bypassed that people have gotten a screenshot of, stating a temple was found in China, containing a huge cocoon, with a "quickening heartbeat" inside.  

This is an excellent opportunity for King Ghidorah to be a space monster frozen away for millions of years. The "Monster Zero" title for the timeline point really gets my hopes up for that possibility.

It could have been a nod to Monster Zero movie, I doubt he's going to be a space monster, he's probably going to be a ancient dragon like creature that was born with 3 heads.

Hopefully not. That would pretty much be King Ghidorah's most boring origin by default.

This could mean that the cave paintings seen in Skull Island were prophecies. Perhaps each of these sites were discovered by thousands of years ago and they predicted what they believed would happen (ie Ghidorah breaking out of the ice and fighting Godzilla)

So excited for the "Monsterverse",I am still hoping they get the rights to Gamera. It would make it perfect

Ghidorah being a space monster is just unconvincing, we all know that MonsterVerse is aiming for naturalistic tone to their movies so I doubt Legendary is going to make him a space monster. I think Legendary would likely keep Ghidorah's origin unknown in the movie.

^ In a movie series with giant nuclear monsters that can survive millennias, a space origin Ghidorah would be anything but unconvincing.

Alright, but I still don't see them making Ghidorah a space monster.

I fully expect a space origin Ghidorah.

Granted I'm just grasping at that little line from Kong and his past origins, but there needs to be something that differentiates Ghidorah, who is arguably THE villain of the Godzilla universe, from every other monster that will show up.

^

I wouldn't expect that if I were you, because there is a high chance that Ghidorah is just going an ancient super species, Godzilla 2 synopsis pretty much suggested that.

I think "high chance" is going a little far. Ancient just means old, a space monster can still be ancient.

^

Still not convince.

That's fine, just defending the idea that Ghidorah could be from space

Well the movie is coming out in 2 years so I guess we'll wait and see.

I think some are taking this naturalism thing a bit far. "Naturalism" seems to be the word MonsterVerse fans are using in place of "realism" just to defend said realism and not sound too redundant. There's still "naturalism" in established fantasy and there's many ways that it can be applied to King Ghidorah's extraterrestrial origin.

For example, the MonsterVerse is now using the Hollow Earth theory--A concept that has been debunked since the 1700s and laughed about in the scientific community in the same way that aliens from Mars are. Quite simply, monsters coming from the Hollow Earth concept is equally as ridiculous as monsters from another planet.

Case and point: Will Farrell's Journey to the Center of the Earth movie is based on Hollow Earth theory.  It's a comedic concept in same way that little green men from Mars was in Mars Attacks! But Skull Island still approached it with this supposed realism or "naturalism" and everyone here seems to buy it. They can do the same for King Ghidorah's extraterrestrial origins.

Really awesome, from the monster zero nod to the line "the devil has three heads". I cannot wait to see what's gonna happen at comic-con.

Not to mention there are countless science-fiction films that manage to, in my opinion, treat extraterrestrial life completely seriously and believably, and I could easily see the same being done for King Ghidorah. I've said it before, but I point to John Carpenter's The Thing as the perfect example. The film revolves around the discovery of an alien (which arrived on Earth in a flying saucer no less), frozen in the Antarctic ice for millions of years. The characters don't have time to discuss the plausibility or scientific ramifications of the discovery, because they're too busy fighting for their own survival. All that matters in that film is that an alien organism exists, and it can wipe out humanity if it isn't stopped. When one character is asked about how the alien is capable of the bizarre abilities it possesses, he simply replies "because it's not like us. Because it's from outer space."

My point is, if Godzilla: King of the Monsters chooses to make King Ghidorah an extraterrestrial, it could be handled in much the same way. An alien organism is discovered frozen in ancient ice. We don't really know how it got here, where it came from, or what it really is, but the point is it exists and is a threat to the planet. This is exactly how the MonsterVerse has treated its monsters in the past. We don't know exactly how these superspecies came about or how they can exist and defy every law of physics, but the point is they exist and the characters have to deal with them. King Ghidorah being an alien is not as far out of the realm of possibility as people are assuming.

I'm with the majority here, I want Ghidorag to have a space origin. Much like THE THING, an ancient creature which crashed to Earth and was frozen in ice for millions of years. That's more believable than having 5 or more different superspecies all hybernating under the Earth's surface in my opinion.

They should just keep it unknown, I think it works better, well for me anyways.

Hi guys, I joined this site years ago but I hardly ever posted anything... so I guess you could say I'm a longtime reader/follower, but I thought I'd jump in here :)

Anyway I like the idea of King Ghidorah being found frozen in ice, if this is true and they're really going to roll with it for the film. It reminds me a lot of The Thing. But I wanted to add, and anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here, but this "found frozen in the ice" idea, wasn't this originally going to be used for Godzilla himself in the 2014 movie? But I believe as I heard, when they found out a similar idea was going to be used for Man of Steel, they decided to drop it. So in a way, if this is the idea for King Ghidorah in the finished film, it's kind of revisiting an old idea, right?

^I believe the "found frozen in the ice idea" for Godzilla 2014 was going to be used in the after credits scene of Kong: Skull Island, but than instead was changed to what we got in the movie. At least that's what I think it is, but I could be wrong as well.

Nice to have you posting here. Were always welcoming and kind to other members here. :)

The alternate post-credit scene for Kong: Skull Island is not the same as the proposed discovery of Godzilla and M.U.T.O.s in ice from Godzilla 2014. In an early draft of G14, the M.U.T.O.s and a Godzilla carcass would have been discovered frozen in ice rather than under that mine in the Philippines, but this was changed to avoid similarities to Man of Steel.

The alternate post-credits scene for Kong involved the characters witnessing Godzilla surfacing in the Arctic. This was changed for continuity purposes, as Monarch had not seen Godzilla since 1954 by 2014, so it wouldn't make much sense for them to have seen him in the 1970's.

^Oh, my mistake than.

You know, a fellow user from another forum pointed this out to me, but King Ghidorah's design could be linked to Satan.

In Dante's Inferno, Satan is described like King Ghidorah plenty of times. So, mythological origins that have King Ghidorah as the origin of Satan in the Judeo-Christian faiths? I'd be down with it!

Hecl, another user on the same forum had the idea that he could be further linked by way of Lucifer, being a fallen angel a.k.a. descending from the Heavens a.k.a. SPACE DRAGON!

The idea of Ghidorah being a space monster who is found frozen makes sense in this universe. It also makes sense for someone to classify it as "Monster 0" if they analyze it and find out that it is far older than any other monster they have come across so far, thus giving it the number 0.

With Godzilla, in this universe, working as a protector it makes even more sense to have Ghidorah have outer space origins as then it will make it simple why they fight.

I'm gonna say.. space origins for Ghidorah. The monster Zero reference in a huge indicator. A meteor crashes on earth in the past.. a life form with in the meteor begins to grow.. it is Ghidorah.. and as time passes.. he gets real huge.. fights an ancient Godzilla.. gets wounded.. flies away.. crashes in the Antarctic... goes to sleep.. gets frozen and covered by ice over time.. and government scientists.. in the future want to get a sample of it's DNA.. and somehow manage to wake him up. And it's Ghidorah :the three headed monster.. remake.. complete with all the original players. And I'm totally good with that. At least.. that's my theory.

I think its just a reference to Monster Zero movie. But the movie is coming out in 2 years so I guess we have to wait and see.

You do realize that they call King Ghidorah Monster Zero in the film right?

Here's a few quotes from the film.

"What is monster zero?"

"The demon of our galaxy. I will show you monster zero."

"Hey look. It's king ghidorah."

"Yes. On earth, you gave this terrifying monster the name of ghidorah. Everything here is numbered, the monster is zero."

What Huge Ben said

Please, make King Ghidorah terrifying. Please, make him powerful. Please, make him merciless.
