I don't know if this is a repeat but I would like to know from you guys. What Monsters fit the "realist" tone.

There are strong men and weak men. The strong ones are here to keep the weak ones up when ever they fail.

No I know we're all gonna die. The world a horrible place. And I just see Zilla realist. Also unicorns? Really? We're talking about Godzilla not Unicorns!

Edwards tried to make his Godzilla more realistic, such as the spikes and gills, but any Kaiju is unrealistic. The Godzilla franchise has always tried taking unrealistic things and trying to apply a semi-logical answer (at least Heisei series and later).

As for most realistic. I say Hedorah.

Nah, just kidding, I actually think Manda, as a sea-dragon, his weight is supported in the water, and his weight is much more spread out, so he doesn't collapse under his own weight.

What Gareth mostly meant for the "realistic tone" was how the humans reacted.

The "Realist Tone" In My Opinion Fits Rodan Or King Ghidorah.

:D

A giant 3-headed dragon from space. Very realistic. :P Rodan would fit the "ancient creatures suddenly awakened" thing they have going though.

I am not trying to "join" the argument, but I wanted to post this just to clarify something. Megalodon A.K.A Carcharocles actually existed 1.5 million years ago. That means it lived AFTER the dinosaurs. I do agree that the most realistic are Rodan, Anguirus, basically all the Monster Island kaiju and also Oodako

If I see the word "realist" misued one more time I may lobby for Brett Ratner to direct the sequel just to spite you people.

Well, when I said Zilla was pretty realistic, I thought the size and rather weakness. I totally forgot about Oodako.

@Gman: Lol!

 

On the subject, the most "realistic" kaiju in the Godzilla universe would possibly be any of the mechs (except MKG), or perhaps any of the insect kaiju.

re·al·ist [ree-uh-list] 1. a person who tends to view or represent things as they really are. 2. an artist or a writer whose work is characterized by realism. 3. Philosophy . an adherent of realism. adjective 4. of or pertaining to realism or to a person who embodies its principles or practices: the realist approach to social ills; realist painting. 

HFTT, you need to use the word realistic, that is the correct word for this topic. If any kaiju are realistic, it's the giant octopus, not Zilla.

FOR SCIENCE OF COURSE!

So, I'm gonna throw this debate on its head right now..........

Realistic monsters are.......... mostly not great. Realistic aspects applied to monsters? It can work if done right. As I've brought up countless times in the past regarding the idea of realistic monsters, the very concept is unrealistic in and of itself. But, as modern movies can attest to, if you add certain aspects of realism into the unrealistic concept, such as how the world around it is defined by its presence, some general features about it, etc., it can work wonders to alleviate the general problems of suspension of disbelief.
