Give me one reason Destroyah isn't the best kaiju ever
Protip:You can't.
>>67398330
He got beat by the military and and pussied out at the end
I always loved The Relic. 10/10 monster right there
>>67398121
Man, this guy scared me so bad as a kid. I rewatched like a year ago and realized I was so freaked out by those eyes I didn't realize what a fucking hippy fever dream the rest of the movie is.
>>67398682

>>67399090
>fish face
looks like a spider to me
Also of course he shows up in every thread, he's one of the best. I've never posted him before, but clearly he's well liked enough that people still bring him up. And he kills by decapitation, which is pretty rad.
I don't want to bicker with you over whether Mbwun here is a good monster. The sad fact is, there isn't much left that most of us haven't seen yet.
Sad part is, I don't think there's much on the horizon in terms of monster movies (outside Kaiju) in the future.
Here's one that probably doesn't get posted often. From Peter Benchley's Creature, a mid 90's made for tv movie. Shit movie, good book, great monster. Love shark monsters, wish there was more like it.
(I though about posting the monster from Deep Rising but thats another one that probably shows up every thread)
>>67397870
>you will never get eaten and digested alive by a giant worm monster
Nah it's fine I'm okay anyway
>>67399592
Leviathan (1980's) has a pretty great monster.
But it's a fucking terrible movie (not as bad as Deep Star Six, but only slightly). It's a real shame, too. They had a great set, a terrific monster, some good actors... just shit lighting (everything was way over brgiht, should have gone for the darker Ridley Scott look in Alien), the cinematography was boring as fuck and workman-like, and a really incompetent director.
Could have been great. Could have been The Thing under water.
Cool monster though!
I absolutely love the Kaiju designs from Pacific Rim.
Every monster has its own particular design yet they look like they're part of the same team, and I love the transluscent blue.
Otachi is one of the best movie monsters ever.
>>67399806
Pacific Rim was such wasted potential it still makes me mad to this day
>>67399828
Definitively could have been better, I still like it tough
that ugly little beast from the walking dead that one guy spams all over the board is absolutely monstrous
>>67399828

reminds me of a childs representation of a bogeyman from a nightmare or some shit
The Predator and Xenomorph / Facehugger will forever be the greatest monster designs in fiction. Nothing will ever top them.
>>67400442
the lower half is so feminine

What?
Godzilla beat Destroyah soundly in every encounter they had in that movie
>>67400665
Because you're in a7/10 very watchable flick
>>67400665
I was always confused by this thing. was this Ripley's rape baby?
>>67400665

Clover
>>67401111
lol yeah this one was pretty good.
>>67397870
Anyone have the Webm of the insect scene in King Kong?
>>67401111
Such a comfy movie. I remember watching it with /x/, back when they used to have streaming threads.

I had so much fun with Pacific Rim in IMAX, I wish other people could have enjoyed it as much as I did. I was never expecting a cinematic masterpiece, just an awesome movie about giant robots and monsters, which I got. Only thing I wish we got was a daytime battle.
>>67400126
hahahah
>>67400507
iirc all the drones are "female"...or maybe sexless.
Eh, Google it
>>67402579
I guess they used the night and rain to hide the CGI. Still I think the Hong Kong battle was great, I loved how all the neon stood out.
And the ending shot high up in the sky after Gipsy slices off Otachi's wing is amazing
>>67402463
the fuck is that?
>>67402889
Yeah it was understandable. Really wish I could watch it in IMAX again. That and Tron Legacy in IMAX again, by far the best movie I've ever seen in there.
>>67402856
well yeah thats fine but why would a female alien monster have feminine human traits?
thats ridiculous. how many species on our own planet exhibit human female feminine characteristics, let alone from some other world
>>67402004
I like how he just kind of steps back, like "here sir, I insist"
I'd vote for Yautja >>67398609 as being the best design, but I also gotta mention Sammael; my brother finds him the most disgusting of all movie monsters
>>67400665
Because he looks shit.
>>67402906
one of many designs they brought up fo that xeno/human hybrid in Alien4
>>67397870
This was great
I really liked the idea of a giant python demon thing swallowing people for storagealso lmao at the dog remembering being swallowed whole at the end
>>67401810
They were so cool
>>67403326
How the fuck was this supposed to be a kids Christmas movie?
Or did the marketing department just fail abysmally?
>>67403474
I don't think it was, I think it was definitely advertised as a holiday themed horror/comedy. It's like Gremlins.
What are you talking about anon?
Also if I saw this as a kid I would be terrified but I'd probably love it, I'm glad they made a movie like this.
>>67397905
My man!
I've had an anguirus plushy for the longest time
>>67403474
It wasn't. It's from the guy who made Trick r' Treat. Christmas comedy horror, same as Gremlins.
>>67403326
I wish it kept the same tone throughout the whole movie. That shit was genuinely creepy when the daughter is caught in the storm and Krampus is jumping house to house. Once the toys started getting fully involved it started to get too comedic for me.
>>67403599
did you fuck it?
>>67403012
Don't you mean your wife's son?
This, motherfuckers.
>>67403631
Definitely wish it had more horror elements, but I think if you're young this brings plenty of scares.
Those gingerbread men were too much though, holy shit.
>>67400507
>>67402982
because the design predates the movie's plot. IIRC its inspired by reoccurring nightmares that Geiger had
>>67402388
>>67402982
because in the original canon Xenomorphs are created when a facehugger impregnates a human. They contain part of the DNA of whatever the host was.
>>67403657
Are you a buregertard living in a trailer park where incest is common?
Or did you try to be funny?
Either way, never talk to me or my son again.
>>67403733
It definitely became a yearly Xmas watch for me, but yeah, wish it stayed horror centric. Loved when he pulls the fat kid up the chimney.
>>67400483
>Xenomorph / Facehugger will forever be the greatest monster designs in fiction
W-what if I mix it with a pumpkin?
>>67399465
What the hell is this? Post a source you cunt.
>>67402982
Check out the original H.R. Geigers work, all of it actually.
You'll see that first versions of xenomorphs had penis instead of inner mouth

>not posting the superior gremlin from the superior gremlins
>>67404276
I still don't think I understand why it created that pile of dog mess. It clearly knew that the dogs were individual creature since it already was one, why would it try to assimilate them all at once instead of individually?
>>67402982
Because some guy actually had to fit in the suit. Jesus fucking christ.
>>67398330
Ahem, it's Destoroyah.
>>67400442

>>67398010
>>67399382
Attack on the Block, the movie Boyega was known for before Star Wars. Its the perfect example of how to do a low budget monster design that still looks good. It's literally just guys in furry costumes with teeth that glow in black light.
>>67404254

I contribute, very optimistic about psycho-goji

Literally just Beholders that don't fly or shoot lasers.
>>67397870
If they count
Matrix's Centinels. So reckless and determined to destroy humans.
>>67404381
all the dogs were freaking out and going crazy around it so it just threw tendrils out everywhere and got to work. a couple dogs didn't get assimilated
anyone who says otherwise is lying
>>67404144
>destroyah nearly killed godzilla
So did pretty much every monster he faced in the Heisei series
Godzilla beat Destroyah fair and square three times (I'm pretty certain. I haven't seen the movie in at least a year).
He beat him after he killed Junior
He killed him when he split up into the multiple spider-like Destroyahs
He killed him again when he was close to reaching meltdown
Destroyah lost a total of three times. He's enormous, strong, and quite resilient, but he's not nearly as strong as you're making him out to be.
He's not even the strongest enemy monster of the Heisei series. That title goes to Spacegodzilla
>>67404630
Not CG enough
Kane's Son
The Big Chap
Perfect Organism
>>67404630
The practical versions, yeah. The CGI we ended up with? Hell no.
>>67404655
because it's a cronenberg
>>67404644
>Spacegodzilla strongest
Mah negro, agreed. He basically had fucking forcepowers
>>67404630
could you fucking imagine being that guy while the Thing is melding with your fucking face?
FUCK
>>67404676
thing prequel is shit
>>67399806
Yeah until they decided to have a battle at the end where you can't see fucking shit and all three monsters look the same.
>>67404154
they're called kanjaklubs
>>67401111
Oy vey

What's this movie plz
>>67404719
That's what I'm saying. The effects team worked hard on practical effects, then the producers came in and said, I shit you not, that they were too 80s looking.
>>67404644
we need a fucking zilla stream
>>67404759
Xtro
>>67404154
that's Harrison Ford and Daisy Ridley
Loved these guys from "Monsters". The movie as a whole had its problems, but I love that while they appropriated a lot of real-life animal features for the completed aliens, they still felt unique and like totally plausible animals that could exist. It was also dope to get a little glimpse of their life cycle, from tree-clinging lichen-like spore/egg thing, to aquatic larva, to massive walking comb jelly/octopus/spider hybrid.

As much as I love that poster, it always seemed to me like no fucks were given with the marketing, especially as the beast depicted looks fuck all like a Graboid.

>>67404944
I really liked them too. Slow, imposing, eerie and nonchalantly violent with all that using humans for energy thing going on.
This 60-foot, 2-ton squid puppet was the coolest fucking thing when I was a kid. Looks pretty rinkydink now, but I'm sad to see that effects teams hardly ever make giant monsters anymore by, you know, actually making giant monsters.
>>67402463
looks like the tooth fairies from hellboy 2
>>67404950
>with number 30 coming out this year
That's what I'm saying. I grew up on tbs godzilla marathons and MST3K, and kaiju threads have been pretty consistent lately, sounds like its a good excuse to stream that shit.
>>67405023
>>67405051
Between them and the striders from half life which I had only played recently at that point I developed a real fear of tripods.
>>67401111

>>67404950
i have all of them, including the movies where godzilla doesn't show up
>>67401111

>>67405124
Striders in half life are great.
I love the half animal half technology look they have

Trollhunter
>>67403054
>he
>>67404944
Yeah, they had menace but without looking sinister like the 1953 stingray designs. These things just looked "cold", like you said.
It took a bit of the charm out for me when they showed the aliens piloting them looked just like the tripods. Sorry, I know mechs are cool, but in real life, it's dumb for any intelligent animal to design a vehicle that looks just like itself.
I would've been way more excited if the aliens looked like the octopus-like things described in the book, where they had just become to technologically-dependent that their brains and "hands" were the most well-developed parts of their bodies, and the rest had atrophied. It would be kind of a neat contrast to have something disgusting and bulky drive those tripods which have kind of an intimidating elegance.
>>67405209
>>67405242
God bless anons
>>67405159
>>67405172
their dangling penis cannon is pretty neat
I think the secret to compelling creature design, hide a dick somewhere on them

Does anyone know of any monster movies with HUGE monsters?
Like I mean fucking stupidly fucking can't-see-the-top-of-them huge
I've never seen any movie like that, its weird. You'd think the CGI would be fairly easy
>>67404828
>Say Jabba no badda!
>>67405266
I agree, the aliens were a mistake, I would have preferred that they didn't show them at all, save for the hand in the scene when they're dying.
All they did in their earlier scene was repeat exactly what the probe had done right before them. A complete waste in hindsight.

MUTO looks GOAT on the concept art but on the movie it becomes another Cloverfield
>>67405086
Movie?
>>67405355
For as awful as attack of the clones is, the sound design was absolutely phenomenal. From the engines of the hover cars, to Jango's sonic mines, the alien voices, to the monsters in the arena.
>>67405448
Funny, I read that as Femto. Must be the wings.
>>67404660
Who the fuck drew this? The alien is perfect, but yaphet looks like a prune and sigourney looks like she's out of a blaxploitation movie.

check dat concept art, they could have been way more outlandish and unique
>>67405792
Nah, they look way too rectangular. Nature hates straight lines and the eyes just add to the robot-like aesthetic.
>>67401111
I don't understand the hate this movie receives. It was comfy as fuck.
>>67405448

I thought the cloverfield monster was pretty scary

actual spoilers belowmain character gets to the surface and Cloverfield monster is nowhere to be seen, just faggy Day After Tomorrow 2 aliens. "omgz we're fighting back and we're winning!!1"
what a fucking disappointment. so now either this movie has nothing to do with Cloverfield after all, or Cloverfield has now been retconned to be part of this gay ass alien invasion. movie should have ended after the escape sequence and if they wanted to tie in Cloverfield the lady should have birthed the parasites from the original movie. the rest of the film was really good, though
>>67405792
too sleek and angular, they look like robots
>>67406196

>>67406252

They're going for a cloverfield franchise that's basically all going to be monster/supernatural unrelated shit.

Not so much design as execution on this one, but still - best on-screen dragon for better than three decades.

I know it's /v/idya, but I loved this cyclops design.
>that elephant face
>>67406362
Probably because it was easier to animate exactly what canon Clover was doing if they went with a thinner looking monster. I like both regardless. hope they bring him back for the next movie.
>>67406331
reign of fire did them better
I loved the way their wings and body structure were proportioned to make flight seem possible, too many movies design a creature and they just graft wings on it and call it a fucking day
the spitting cobra-style fire breathing was appreciated too
>>67406482
I need to watch this again. Some unironical kino right here.

>>67406390
Gojira is kino
>Godzilla's general design was partially based on the work of Czech painter Zdenek Burian, specifically his outdated, early 20th century reconstruction of the dinosaur Iguanodon. Godzilla's posture, the way he holds his hands and to a degree his skin texture were taken directly from Burian's artwork. Interestingly, the dinosaurs in Burian's pieces also have folds in their skin, much like Godzilla due to him being a rubber suit.

nice idea with the elephant design. I once read, that the idea of a cyclops came from a misinterpretation of elephant skulls. They have a huge hole for the trunk
