Devastation

Well, he may not have won the battle... but at least Seatopia is in peace again.

Friday night disco party in Seatopia with Grandmaster DJ Antonio!

I saw a group of Japanese ladies cosplaying as the Seatopian priestesses at Japan's Wonder Festival Summer 2016 convention. I'll have to dig through the archives to see if I have any photos of them.

Normalize making Megalon into a heroic monster instead of an enemy. He was fighting on the side of right in Godzilla vs. Megalon. He and Seatopia were just going about it the wrong way.

Monsters, Robots, and Mayhem: The Wild World of Godzilla vs. Megalon

“Godzilla vs. Megalon” (1973) stands as a notable entry in the long-running Godzilla franchise, directed by Jun Fukuda. This filmhas become a cult classic, appreciated for its campy charm and memorable monster battles. Produced by Toho Studios, it showcases the iconic Godzilla in a battle against the underwater creature Megalon, with assistance from the giant robot Jet Jaguar. This article delves…

Stargazing ⭐️

Saw the one meme floating around & decided to make my own version along with using it as a valid excuse to draw these two again. I do see Megalon enjoying it much more that Gigan though. Im my mind, Megs didnt get a lot of time to actually go out & explore by the ruler of Seatopia, so actually going out to stargaze (more than likely fighting just to get permission) means literally everything to him.

With Gigan, it’s more of just something he’s very used to (being from space) but at the same time, i have a feeling that it could be a thing that brings him some sort of bad memories (more like something he’s trying to avoid). Just explain a lil (tho honestly i do feel like it can be its own separate post), his time with the Xiliens & more importantly being in M Space Hunter Nebula proved to be an overwhelming & stressing experience for him (them having “created” him & therefore demanding more & more from him in exchange for “upgrades”). At some point he fled the moment he had the chance when commanded to go fight for them & not returning back. Instead he’s basically been hiding for a good enough while & during that time, he found himself & stayed alongside Megs. Genuinely enjoying his company & someone who didnt judge him compared to the Xilliens

But also given how much it means to his friend to see the stars out at night, he’s willing to make a small sacrifice just to see his best friend smile. That & reminding himself that he can at least feel less nervous & afraid with Megalon by their side, who at this point is the only one that means literally the whole world (or even universe) to him

but yea, these 2 still mean everything to me & drawing them stargazing together was definitely something i wanted to do so yay :D

[i love coming up with lore for some of my more fav kaiju or just kaiju in general. Hope i can at least share most of them ^^:]

Fun facts about MEGALON:

It was first featured by Toho studios in 1973’s Godzilla vs. Megalon.

Megalon is from the underwater kingdom of Seatopia.

The people of Seatopia, angry at human landlubbers for all that nuclear testing in the oceans of the world, unleash Megalon as an agent of revenge.

According to one source, Megalon weighs 40,000 tons with a height of 55 meters and length of 80 meters. (How does one measure a monster?)

Megalon shoots lightning bolts from his horn. He can also spit fire bombs from his mouth, and he has drill hands that let him burrow under the earth at the speed of Mach 2.

Finally working on more designs for this au, now we have the almighty Megalon !!! Lore ramblings under cut

So in this au, (which is the same one that my Gigan and fangoji are in btw) kaiju are a very well known thing and have been for all of human history. As such, there have been countless civilizations that worship them as gods, and one of the longest lasting yet secretive is Seatopia. They’re a civilization that live underground protected by their patron god, Megalon, and have made very little attempt to communicate with those on the surface. Except for when they send Megalon to either get some stuff from there or to fuck some shit up when the surface people annoy them in anyway.

Things were working out well for them as they continued to dig out new cities under Megalon’s watchful eye. Until they weren’t, over the course of 200 years, random kaiju were dropping like flies completely randomly, taking many humans down with them, and Megalon was of the many that fell. This along with the sudden mass casualties was devastating to Seatopia and almost resulted in their collapse. So for the first time in their history, their king decided to contact the surface to see if they could help bring their god back. They were not alone in this however as the people of infant island also lost the one they praised as well, Mothra, with her death in particular being one of the most devastating.

The 2 approached the company RENOVEM, a company that specializes in disaster relief and recovery from kaiju attacks, along with ensuring the wellbeing of kaiju since their deaths also cause mass calamity as well. They both asked the company to try and figure out a way to revive the kaiju they worshiped. After a lot of hesitation and negotiations, especially with the Seatopian king as he wasn’t exactly… trusted all that much, but regardless they figured out a deal and thus the MM rivial project, or MMRP was underway.

It took another 200 years to complete but what they did was they took the bodies of Megalon and Mothra since kaiju bodies take forever to decay and essentially remade their entire bodies with what was left of them + some new materials and managed to find a way via using machinery to get their cognitive ability sparking up again. So now they’re back !!!

However this isn’t without its stipulations, primarily for Megalon as now he isn’t allowed to do his fucking shit up like how he used to, and therefore can’t hang out with Gigan anymore so that sucks for him. If he tries to go out and do some shit, RENOVEM can just turn him off, so no sneaking off for him. Something that sucks for both Mothra and Megalon is the fact they basically have to work together now since for a lot of their history they did not like each other and would fight whenever they ran into one another. This was part of the reason why RENOVEM was hesitant to rebuild the 2 together but they complied since they felt it could beneficial to have Megalon be brought back but not be allowed to do fucked up shit.

Sorry for this being so long, and this isn’t even everything bc I don’t want to spoil all of it but yeah 😎 (also some stuff might change later on since it’s all still a WIP out so keep that in mind)

Godzilla Deicide AU Megalon hes my favorite kaiju if i ever make a kaiju fancomic of my AU hes gonna be the main character

AU Lore: millions of years before humanity, Gaia chose several lifeforms to uplift into guardian deities as a means protect her world from harm. One of these uplifted creatures was a beetle that became the subterranean protector, Megalon. As the guardian of the subterranean realm, he was usually not aware of conflicts that occurred above, staying mostly oblivious to things that happened on the surface world. After millions of years of hibernating underground he was discovered by an ancient society of humans that fled from the surface after a great that flood destroyed their land. they built their settlements around the kaiju for protection, he was immediately fascinated by the tiny creatures that called his realm home and chose to protect his new little friends. The people expanded their settlements across the subterranean realm becoming the empire of Seatopia, helping their deity keep balance within the cavernous land living at peace for thousands of years. Though nuclear tests within the ocean opened a fissure within the sea which flooded much of the subterranean realm enraging it's guardian causing him to attack the surface realm. Due to being underground for much of his life Megalon is very curious and easily distracted by things that are new and foreign to him, Often being destructively curious of things he hasn't seen before. He is Also easily agitated due to not being used to negative stimuli and becoming angry when things don't go his way.

I love the Megalon and Gigan dynamic duo

Now get ready for...

Antonio and X!

I dunno maybe instead of X blowing up with the ship, maybe it hit the ground and fell into Seatopia 🤷.

I also really like the idea of how people resemble their pets in some way. They make me think of their respective Kaiju.

Seatopia: where the hairiest man in the land is chosen to be ruler.

Back from Godzilla x Kong! Gotta say, I love how you have this dynamic of... Mothra is Lawful Good, Kong is Neutral Good, and Godzilla is Chaotic Good. Because sure, Godzilla is officially the arbiter of nature's balance, he's the one keeping things in check; But boy does he not care about what he needs to do to get it done. I like how the Monsterverse has made Godzilla into quite the anti-hero as well; It's a nice mix of both heroic and villainous depictions. He has no real love for humanity, even if he begrudgingly acknowledges its right and need to exist.

If Godzilla needs to get from Point A to B, it doesn't really matter to him too much if there's a fully-populated city he needs to stomp through, especially if he's on short time (Conversely, Mothra and Kong seem much more sensitive to that sort of thing, Mothra especially). It really does make Godzilla feel like a wild card that humanity just has to accept and deal with, and coexists with uneasily; You know, in theory, he has your back. But you're still rightfully terrified of Godzilla, and hell so are other titans. He's the scariest kaiju on the block for a reason, and I love how he's still a mean city-destroying menace while technically being a 'good' guy. Portraying Goji from Kong's perspective, where he's often an antagonist, was a good way to maintain that terror that was alleviated with King of the Monsters' depiction.

Also, I can't help but imagine how relieving it was for Jia to find more Iwi! Trapper makes a good point about how she ends up having a lot of weight on her shoulders with saving the world, but you know what? She ends up having so much other weight taken off knowing there are other Iwi alive and thriving. For years, Jia must've been saddled with the burden of keeping her entire culture alive, finding a way to somehow preserve it and keep it going; But now she can relax, she knows it'll live on with or without her, and that makes Jia's decision to stay with Andrews all the more natural because she's free from obligation.

You know, seeing Monarch successfully augment Kong with cybernetics... I'd love to see the Monsterverse tackle Gigan soon, because with how technology has become so much more advanced since the first film in 2014, it feels plausible that some would see the success of Kong with the gauntlet and think; Hey, let's bring back that project full-force! Maybe they find Gigan, originally flesh and blood, deeply injured and torn apart after fighting Godzilla. Initially he's on life-support with artificial organs, but at some point investors decide, let's just reprogram him into a cybernetic attack dog to defend humanity with!

Alas, Gigan breaks free of his programming; And he ends up going on a killing spree. Because while other antagonists like Ghidorah or Skar King are ambitious warlords, Gigan is a pettier sadist, a bully who likes to hurt and torture. He kills for sport, and that's literally all he's going to do once he gets his upgrades, doing it all for no other reason than fun.

Of course, another part of me would really like to see Gigan still associated with aliens, too; Monsterverse has clearly become modern Showa, we've basically got magic now! And I like that, the weirder and more fantastical, the better. There's an underground civilization that uses ancient technology bordering on magic, the Iwi of the Hollow Earth are like the Monsterverse's Seatopians. So it seems a natural evolution to introduce a more one-to-one counterpart to Seatopia in another film, another group of Hollow Earth humans who want to destroy those on the surface, and worship Megalon's power to tunnel through the earth itself. And if you have Megalon, you should have Gigan, and if you have Gigan, you may as well throw in aliens, not just in the sense that they're from space like Ghidorah, but I mean like. Actual UFOs and the like.
