Biollante

I guess he's going to go over there and he's got a bazooka on his back.

Is he going to try to do what that one guy did in Godzilla versus Biollante? Hopefully he's a little smarter than that.

I don't believe for a second you tried this once.

Jeez.

Yeah, scream his name.

That's going to work over well.

Don't you remember Katagiri? Or the guy from Biollante? And predictably, Godzilla shoots at that clock tower, blows it up, and it looks like this guy somehow jumped out of the way, and somehow managed to avoid the explosion.

And he's got a parachute.

And I can I can appreciate that.

No Biollante, which is my favorite uh godzilla monster but that i guess makes sense because biollante is like kind of planted literally planted to the ground so i guess that probably wouldn't have worked as well

anyway let's uh let's keep moving on to

the fourth oh sorry i guess i should mention that's uh godzilla's coming out to windows switch to and ps5 and xbox series x so coming out for basically everything

What was it? I did 17...

which it's because it's the 17th film that came out in the 80s, and that was Godzilla vs. Biollante.

And then I did 22, because that's the 22nd movie that came out in the 90s, and that one was...

No, 17 wasn't Biollante.

What was 17? Oh, 17, or no, yeah, 17 was Biollante, 22 was Destroyah.

And then I did 16 for 2016 for Godzilla, Shin Godzilla.

And then 23 for Godzilla minus one is my Powerball number.

There's so many.

I wanna know about Biollante.

Should we do a marathon?

T- Oh my God, imagine how...

Awesome.

Gojira Films says, "What should I buy? The S- uh, the SH MonsterArts or Haiya Biollante when it comes out?" Well, I don't have either of them, so I'm not really sure.

But for me, just from what I've seen, the Haiya looks just as good or better, and the price is obviously way better.

Um, but I'm sure there's some things about the SH MonsterArts that are better, maybe the articulation, stuff like that.

Initially, yeah.

And then, uh, the Devinians decided they had enough of the Cryorgs' shit, and, like, broke off and summoned Biollante, and that was a whole thing.

Um, and then the Cryorgs were seemingly defeated by Jet Jaguar.

But, uh, we can see that at least one of them has survived and has taken over, uh, well, a Devinian.

Thank you.

By the time we reach issue eight and the original planned ending, you still had the Biollante battle, but as a grand finale it was intended to be a larger brawl between multiple monsters.

And of course, the Cryogs all appear to be destroyed, wrapping up that plot.

Were there any other plans that you were originally going to have in the finale version of issue eight that got removed, maybe something tying up with the Devinians or anything for Lucy or her team, anything like that, that, that got removed when you realized, "Oh, we're actually gonna be continuing on to issue nine," and...?

I feel like the Biollante thing was sort of the last thing we had to hard pivot on because those first, you know, eight or so issues were kind of tumultuous because we just weren't sure what was gonna happen.

So we kept having to pivot at least twice.

And yeah, it was originally supposed to be this big monster brawl, and I think Chris had a specific vision for that, that I didn't really fully know 100%, or, uh, I think he had a vision and then he was like, "Well, this is kind of what I'm thinking about, but I'm kind of working towards that," and then we had to pivot because the covers had to be solicited way before the comic came out, and because of the way we were working on it, the individual issues like were being written...

We have to do conventions, we have to take other contract gigs, and writing wasn't Chris' main gig, you know? His main gig at the time was doing design work at IEW and doing a bunch of stuff for them, so this was part of like a side gig for him.
