The initial movies of Godzilla and King Kong pictured stunt men in monster costumes and stop-motion animation. But the producers claim that the title character is 100% CG. In this movie, long black curtains are draped around the skull in order to save it from the outside world, unlike the traditional films that use massive green screens for backgrounds.

Planet Eater is fucking FATNTASTIC. The religious commentary and themes, and the ideas on death on its bearing on life, and what creates a “Godzilla” and a “Ghidorah”. This entire series is so masterfully crafted, capped off with one of the most fitting, beautiful endings I’ve

King Ghidorah from Godzilla: The Planet Eater is the best kaiju put to film/media ever imo. It is terrifying, beautiful, alien cosmic horror that was hated by so many fans, yet loved by some (including myself).
