Help me analyse every scene of the Godzilla trailer!

I am wondering if many are assuming Godzilla is the complete "bad guy" in all this. When I look at the footage of the wrecked train (scattered off the tracks) I don't see any footprints that would be from Godzilla tearing the train apart.  

It is possible to pay homage to the "badass nature" of Godzilla - and not have Godzilla destroy everyone and everything in sight. Maybe it's not Godzilla the Nuclear Bomb is being aimed at? Could it be the nuclear bomb is aimed at a MUTOS and the radiation from that blast is what brings Godzilla? 

I think this is gonna be interesting either way. 

This isn't only my opinion, but those of others as well I've noticed, but the insect-monsters (referred to as mutos just to make it easy) could be modern retelling of Destroyah/Destroyer. M.U.T.O., the group, could be a shadow group that has been monitoring strange things related to kaiju, as the mutoresearch.net site hints at (for example, the Turkmenistan fire hiding a membrane.) They could have come across a "living fossil" of sorts, a creature thought to be extinct but still being alive. Except, it's actually a group of eggs. Maybe they got out of control and formed colonies all over the planet. 

For those of you having trouble seeing the Mutos in the train scene, here is another screen shot. 

This particular one has pale grey skin, which is mottled with specs of brown. From what I can guess, this is a head biting into the train that then pulls upwards out of the frame. This mutos seem to have a head that is similar to those depicted in the early "eye-witness" sketches, and its mouth opens with a set of several triangular jaws. It even looks like there is a dark green tongue between the two supposed jaws shown in this particular frame.

Imagine both the upper and lower halves of a bird's beak being split down the middle, leaving four pointed beaks that converge at a point when closed (and fan out when opened).

Watch the train scene carefully, and I'm certain you'll see what I'm talking about. The mouth opens up towards the audience (hence the flesh-coloured mouth membrane in Chris' screenshot).

Going by your "history", I'm going to bet that you're 100% accurate in your "assumptions". hahaha Thanks for adding a lot more detail to this "MUTO Mystery". The sketch helps too. I figured it would be somewhat bird-like with it's face. 

I'm really, REALLY curious to see what these things originated from. The anticipation for more info is killing me.

Keep in mind that's a very simplified (and angular!) sketch, nothing more than an attempt to convey the orientation of the jaws in this scene. Personally, I wouldn't pay any mind to their size relative to the rest of the head or the curvature at each jaw's tip (I would also ignore the sad excuse for an "eye" that I drew).

I went back to the trailer and looked at it frame by frame. What I don't get is the 3rd frame.. That does not look like a bird to me. I copied 4 frames 2 leading up to the 3rd then the 4th showing whatever it is pulling away. The face looks rounded to me... 

I could be wrong.. Hope these upload correct. :)

The scene where you see Godzilla through the goggles, amid all the smoke etc., does it look as if Godzilla could go from being bipedal to a quadruped?  Just the way he is leaning over in an extreme way makes me ponder that question.

This is a bit far fetched, but could one of these possibly "man-made" creatures wind-up actually turning into Godzilla?

Hail the King's return

Just adding to my last post.  The idea of him having the ability to be a quadruped only comes to thought because in that scene, leaning over he had a slight Stegosaurus look to him.  After all, they had those plates on their backs for Thermoregulation.

I'm not suggesting in anyway he is one, is related to one etc., just it struck me how he looked like one leaning over like that

I thought this might be helpful in the trailer discussion. This was just sent to me. 

Holy crap! The Japanese trailer has extra footage of Watanabe and a cut-scene from the Comic-Con trailer! Is this on YouTube yet?

I don't know Chris, the trailer link was just sent to me off this site and I ran with it over here... 

Well I do appreciate it! That site won't let me embed the video however... If anybody finds it on YouTube let me know! I'll keep looking.

You're very welcome. I just checked out YouTube and I don't see it. :( 

vynyljohnny, i actually posted a discussion about mutos and destroyah, i thinck it is a very strong theory and was surprised that it has't been mentioned much

That's alright, I posted it anyways. :) Made sure to thank you for the find!

nvm

THANKS TO GIRLZILLA (THE JAPANESE TRAILER WAS WAAY CLEARER IMO) I SEE THE MUTO SPIDER LEG PROTRUDES FORWARD AND SPLITS A SURFACE LEVEL RAILWAY CAR/ LINE IN HALF. (LOOK IN THE BACK AND YOU CAN SEE THE ROWS OF LIGHTS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE TRACK) ...BUT THE MOUTH IS ALSO A POSIBILTY ..VERY NARROW HEAD

IDK IF IT MEANS ANYTHING OR IF ANYONE ELSE NOTICED BUT THE BOMB HAS A SICK DENT ON THE TIP OF IT

THE MOST INTGRIGUING THING IN ALL OF THIS TRAILER GOODNESS IS THAT HUGE CONCENTRATION OF STORM CLOUDS AND LIGHTING TOWERING ABOVE THE CLOUD LINE....

THE WHOLE NUKE THING I SAY IS OUT OF THE QUESTION LOOK AT THE STATE OF THE CITY WHEN THE SOLDEIRS ARE FALLING..A NUKE WOULD HAVE LEFT NOTHING STANDING..IMO..

 ALSO I BELIEVE WELL SEE HUMANS PITTED AGAINST OTHER HUMANS..MAYBE MUTO SUPPORTERS VS CIVILIAN/MILITARY WHY ELSE WOULD THE SOLDIERS WALK POINTING GUNS...I KNOW THEY DONT THINK THATS GONNA SCARE THE KING?? HAHA CHEERS GUYS HAPPY FOR ALLLLLLLLLLL OF USSSS TODAY

OMH!OMG! Look at the first image of the train being torn to shreds. If you look to the right....YOU SEE A HEAD!

Godzillia >>>> U.S Military.

It's undefeated.

Muto isnt a monster guys, its the research team/orgonization in the film, one of the monsters or monster he will be facing is called vishnu. Muto is the research page from mutoresearch.net I dont thing they would call the monster muto and have it M.U.T.O. on the research page. they're trying to hype us up with the research page. But the reasearch team/orgonization isnt a knickname for the other monster/monsters people.
