Exhaust Vents? (POSSIBLE SPOILER)

Something Real
MemberGodzillaApr 25, 20142122 Views24 RepliesHello there. After having a look at some of the latest images of Edwards' Godzilla, I've developed a rather, hmmm, let's say "unorthodox" question. Bear with me. What if, and I place strong emphasis on the word "IF", those dermal ridges upon Godzilla's neck aren't gills? What if they happen to be something more along the lines of natural vents that allow his body to safely expell waste heat when he utilizes his atomic breath? Perhaps it's something like the exhaust ports on high-powered rifles, tank cannons, and even certain laser weapon systems employed by the military. Of course, this is an incredibly wild speculation; take this girl's ramblings with a healthy grain of salt. As always, your thoughts and conjecture on this topic are greatly appreciated, even if you choose to keep them to yourself. :)

I'm thinking they'll act as both gills and exhaust vents. I'm curious and interested to see how it'll work exactly.

I agree on what u said it's very possible for those ridges on his neck could be exhaust vents for his atomic breath. And they are certainly not gills, if I heard or read right I think Godzilla has big enough lungs to almost make them oxygen tanks which allows him to sleep in the water for long periods of time. And yeah your theory could be very possible,nice job man :D

DURATOK and GOJI2014 - IF it turns out they function in a way similar to exhaust vents, I can imagine both intense light and perhaps superheated-air streaming through them just seconds before Godzilla unleashes his breath! After the blast, the air might ripple with heat waves around his mouth and neck! That would be quite exciting! :)

Ha! You know...I wouldn't be surprised. Thats good work SR!

KAGE432 - Thank you. I've some doubt that this hypothesis is accurate; but it would be extremely neat if it is! :)

@somethingreal
I'm not sure if they changed it in the final script though
@cornclotgrumble
spoiler: i hear godzilla will be in this movie

Evan123April 25, 2014
great idea as always SOMETHING REAL, and ya, I think you could be spot on with this one and it sure as hell would make for an incredible visual!!
How far can we push nature before it pushes back?

CORNCLOTGRUMBLE - I am so very sorry about that, friend! I was honestly just expounding a little after watching Future Weapons on the History Channel - I had no idea I might be walking into a Spoiler. I've changed the name of this post in light of your concern. Please accept my humblest apologies. :)

@CORNCLOTBRUMBLE - Don't believe her! She's not real! ITS A TRAP

I came up with the same theroy a few months back but didnt post it, thinking it was to far-fetched. I think if they are exhaust vents it would make more sence then if they are gills.

Something RealApril 25, 2014
ZILLAFORLIFE - You should have posted it! I think it's a compelling premise! :)
HokmutoApril 25, 2014
im just saying but we have to finde out what they are in the movie and the spoiler thing is a bit far when your just speculating just saying and i resd the leaked script and it didnt say anythibg about vents just saying
We bave to find out what they are in the movie
HokmutoApril 25, 2014
Now the black under the flaps in that new godzilla in sun clip is just shade :) im just saying we will find out what they are in 3 more weeks

JohnSmithApril 25, 2014
I also once thought of that theory, but I hope they're gills - for those that so hate the idea of godzilla having gills.
HokmutoApril 25, 2014
Well we will see what they are in the movie :) or we will know if we get a confirmation on what they are from gareth or an official source
cockzillaApril 25, 2014
I actually find this more believable than gills. As most amphibious creatures dont have them. More like a nitrous purge in cars.
MagggleShackleApril 25, 2014
Have to say never would have thought of that, good theroy. That being said the vents or the gills or what ever the hell they are might also work both ways letting heat escape saftly and let water in to prevent godzilla from over heating.

TheGMan123April 26, 2014
Yeah, I sorta came up with this a long time ago, along with my other part of that theory, overall stating (and remember this is all MY own SPECULATION):
Those apparatuses that appear to be gills are indeed gills. However, they don't actually function as gills do, normally. Or, at least, not anymore. As the creatures grew larger, their reliance on oxygen as an essential component diminished, thus leaving the gills as an initially vestigial feature.
However, once new bodily concerns arose, the gills found new usage. The creatures' internal heat and molecular integrity due to their nuclear biology meant additional air and water needed to be brought into their systems regularly, which the gills aided in, thus eliminating the need to evolve new features for such a task.
As well, the gills served as an effective ventialtion system by which vital gases could be taken in to ionize for intense plasma discharge from the creatures' mouth, as well as a cooling system that prevents overheating of the region whilst this curious natural weapon is in effect.
