Explain This S#!t

Possibly the head is bigger or the body of Godzilla

I'm honestly stumped when it comes to this question. 

Godzilla defies the laws of the universe. It happens.

Ugh...

I don't think it really matters, but for the sake of argument it might just be the angle from which the shot takes place. It looks like Godzilla might be a little further out from the building from a high angle, making him look similar in height as the building.

Or what GMAN2887 said. That works too...

I agree with Gman 

GMAN2887 I really wanna agree with you, but I just studied the trailer again, Godzilla looks only about 2 blocks away from the building but still looks bigger than the building. Just watch and im pretty sure youll see too

I watched the trailer and i think the head or the neck is bigger?

It's still from a very high angle, even as he pass the building going down you can see streets and the tops of other shorter buildings. So it's hard to tell.

Again, I don't think it matters. A lot of Godzilla movies never get the scale right and the '98 movie was the worst offender. As long as it looks good in the movie I don't really care that much and really don't believe his height is that big of a deal.

Maybe all the HALO jump scene is just a Ford Brody´s Nightmare about Godzilla walking sleep. 

One word: perspective. If you watch the trailer again, as the trooper descends, the building becomes larger than Godzilla as his vision ofthe building becomes parallel with the sight of Godzilla. It's just the angle he's at, that makes Godzilla look bigger. 

ya i agree with king_of_zombies@. like the part in the trailer where Ford jumps off the railroad track is probably when he first encountered godzilla. and the halo jump is a dream and turns into a NIGHTMARE

Hahaha. I love this, everyone is over-reacting. You are all talking like 350 feet is small! By looking at these threads you would think the big G was all like:

When in reality, he's HUGE!!! He is like 3.5 BLUE WHALES!!! 

Too many variables to know for sure. Camera angle, depth of field on shot, artistic choice, Godzilla could be walking over huge mounds of rubble for all we know. With all the smoke and debris who can tell from this shot. Here's a thought let's stop trying to crack the code and continue to be patient and see the movie May 16th 2014. Instead of endless debates about stuff we know very little about. At this point we have hundreds of topics on a film that has barely been marketed and we already have hundreds of discussions on the same tired subjects. It's becoming quite pathetic at this point. Let's wait til we officially know more and see more before we try to analyze and break everything down. 

I agree with Chris, he could be about 2 blocks away and........, his vision is parallel.

Maybe This scene was probably just made for the trailer.

Well guys if you rewatch the footage, Godzilla is not right next to the building, he's a bit off in the distance. Also, the building itself is on it's SIDE. It's probably COLLAPSED! And also, it's a movie....? Zilla was even worse about changing his fucking size.

May be that building has already fallen.

i think they lied about the size , and that he's REALLY gonna be 800 feet tall

maybe they were lying about the size , and that he's REALLY gonna be 800 feet tall

@Kyero

Well done. For all the fans complaining, it's rather obvious Gareth Edwards gave all of you a heads up.

KYERO Dude, when the fuck did I say Godzilla is 800 feet?  I know that hes 350 feet, and I like that height, but what ur saying is that I was trying to prove that Godzilla was taller than that building.

Wrong, and dont you try to correct me with that interview, I saw that one already, and as big as a G fan you relly think you are, im a huge one too and I bet Ive already seen every Godzilla interview out there.

But what Im trying to say is that I think YOU need to wake up and face reality kid, that ur theory of me trying to prove Godzilla being taller than the building is wrong, did u even see me write something like "Oh yeahh, Godzilla must be taller than the building"?

This picture and topic was just for fun to show that the sizing probably failed, but people sayed it was the angle of the shot. Its time for YOU to wake up and realize that your posts fails to prove anything because you dont ask before you assume something.  

I dont expect this from a G fan, so you should stfu and just accept that ur a Godzilla dick fan and move on to another forum.  You'll be the all happier and more relaxed once you have done so.

i saw something that stated that godzilla is actually 495ft tall but if hes bigger that would be awesome. a 600ft or taller godzilla how can that be wrong lol

KING_OF_ZOMBIES Lol love that theory haha

KYERO Wattup smartie, did you read my reply on that other discussion? Well then read my message up there ^ and im messaging here again so I can bring up this discussion higher for you to see it better.  Oh yeah, and if you have nothing to reply with because youd just realize how much of an idiot you were assuming and writing a long ass comment up there ^ about something wrong the whole time, then just put a letter as an excuse reply so youll proved that you saw my message

So late in the game, but watching the trailer and using the almighty google maps.  The angle, facing of the BoA building and where G-man is, he's walking through St. Mary's Square(that area) and the building in the background at an angle is the Fairmont Building which is listed as about 300 feet so if you continued the drop where it was cut off, perspective would put Godzilla about half of the Boa Building and a bit taller than the Fairmont.   There I'm officially bored at work and a geek....

Perspective is probably the best answer, but I just figured Godzilla had knocked it down at some point.

I saw this discussion and just had to weigh in on it. here is another theory... there are 2 Godzillas and one is 350 tall and the other is pictured above. This movie is not going to be a traditional  one. I think the big surprise is not the other kaiju / foe... I think its more than on Godzilla. The cover image of Empire magazine and the the front body shot movie poster... when you do a side by side.. there are slight differences in the two G's. Does anyone else see that? 

@RR44 Sadly, your analysis is invalid.

The earlier teaser trailer with the shot that was used in this thread was confirmed to be just that, a teaser. It was not an official trailer, and the final scene in the movie will not depict what was shown in the teaser which makes the entire picture itself completely invalid as well.

There is only one Godzilla in this movie. Of that, you can be certain. Any rumors you've heared about a second Godzilla are entirely false and unsubstantiated and come from non-credible sources.

There is only one Godzilla, and though the artwork changes slightly from image to image, it's the same creature.

@tw_g-fan2014.... first off.. a pictures worth a thousand words.. my analysis may not be acurate.. but there is no denying what is being shown in this clip from the the trailer. the Bank of America building is still upright.. and Godzilla is not 2 blocks away from it.. he is walking right next to it. second.. why would there be a G in Hawaii.. then in San Fran.. and in vegas too. and whats the big surprise Gareth was refering to concerning the halo jump scene.. if G is alone in this movie and 350 feet tall... then we would not see a head shot even at a 10 degree pitch while descending near a 779 foot tall structure. thats less than half the height of the building. so I theorize that there are 2 Gs. one is 350 feet tall.. the other one... a whole lot taller. If I am wrong.. well.. no harm no foul.. the movie is still gonna kick a**. BUT.. if I am right.. then holy moly.. this movie will make history. keep in mind.. the  producers are not gonna have his name mentioned in the movie.. and that can leave the door open for a lot of speculation. IMO... one G gets injured by another kaiju in vegas.. and the other G responds accordingly. who knows.. its all speculation.. but its fun to do. peace to you and everyone else.. cuz on May 16th.. history will be made.. and we the fans are the beneficiaries and witnesses to the greatest comeback of the King of Monsters.
