Godzilla: MaM and G-Day - HOKMUTO

Description

Well, the day has arrived. May 15th - the new Godzilla is here. During the wait I became quite interested in Godzilla's enemy in the new movie, MUTO. Recently, this was revealed to stand for "Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism"; apparently the creature is not called "Hokmuto" after all, as some of us were led to believe. Still, I was inspired to try my hand at creating my own rendition, which does have that name.

Also, after reading a summary somewhere - that the new Godzilla is one of an ancient race of creatures from a time when the Earth was much more radioactive - I started thinking. What if "Godzilla" himself was just the tip of the iceberg? What if, under some provocation, he unleashed some kind of roar that awoke the rest of his race? What if it turned out the "MUTO" was actually a measure intended to prevent this disaster? What if everyone was duped into rooting for the wrong monster? Audacious and farfetched, I know, but what a dramatic (and frightening) twist that would be!!!! After all, it has been stated that this film will "reimagine" Godzilla to some degree. Anyway, I worked all these ideas into my own alternate rendition of Hokmuto:

- This bizarre creature appeared in the South Pacific, roosting on a US military vessel; at first it did little else, as if waiting for something - but when H.E.A.T. and Godzilla arrived to investigate, the creature suddenly and viciously attacked Godzilla
- After mentally conversing with the creature, Miki Saegusa learned of its origins; it was genetically engineered on a parallel Earth, where Godzilla turned out to be only the first of an entire race of ancient monsters reawakening to turn Earth into their radioactive paradise once again; Hokmuto was intended to be the start of a counteraction to this threat - how it ended up in the MaM universe was a mystery, but it obviously mistook this world's Godzilla for its intended enemy
- In Hokmuto's universe, the day the first Godzilla rose - May 15th - became known as "G-Day"
- Though edgy around Godzilla, Hokmuto shows no aggression towards humans or average animals - it was, after all, created to protect them
- 60m wingspan; smaller than Godzilla, but agile and tenacious
- Hokmuto has no eyes, but navigates using a strange form of energy; it can also fire blasts of this energy from its mouth, attacking a target's nervous system and heart


Hope you lot like it! The original Godzilla belongs to Toho; the original MUTO to Legendary Pictures.

Well, then: let's be grateful Godzilla-2014 is on the side of the angels, more or less. 'Cause IF there was such a chaotic, and cataclysmic event as a resurface of an entire race of those Gojirin's, I have a feeling it'd be the end of all living things.:O And also, am i right to consider Hokmuto an antihero? I know he has issues with Godzilla, but he seems to keep it under control for the most part. Considering he doesn't harm humans, and all - which your alternate universe of Godzilla 2014 is an interesting twist on the idea. Still have to wonder though: would MaM, and all the other kaiju be able to stop one of those "G-Day" Godzillas? Especially if they worked together?
