Oh actually didn't see that. So it turns out he's holding Cocai off the entire fight. There's a scene earlier in which he looks down and sees Keiko driving at his feet as Cocai jumps at him, then he quickly stops her and pushes her away. Nice to see him protecting the humans
Sean Konrad (VFX supervisor) when asked about if Titan X had a different concept design before the final result:
“Titan X was in this zone from the start but we initially conceived her as being more upright/bipedal with the tentacles sort of forming into different patterns for different stances. It was conceptually cool but felt a little too ‘magical’ for a monsterverse character. Other elements like the face and eyes ended up taking a few diversions to figure out - Nick Keller from Weta did a bulk of the design and Dan Baker from Framestore did a few concept images as well. Titan X’s design was figured out well ahead of our shoot, and our first ‘final’ shot of her was done before we’d finished principle photography on episode one (thank you to Bryan Hirota and the Eyeline team for that), so it was probably the most stable creature design we’ve done in the history of the show.”
Okay dumb theory but what if the mystery titan in Monarch will actually be Mothra, revealing some kind of relationship, explaining why Cocai sounds like her-
Okay but honestly, her tentacles mus be really strong, not only holding off Godzilla but also allowing her to just lift herself up like that, seemingly making her look taller, potentially more intimidating to her opponent
@__TheTrillest_@BeyondBeliefCos Ye, in my eyes Cocai is quite high when it comes to power in the Monsterverse, she was a seemingly equal match for Godzilla and visibly injured him. I don't think any other titan left marks as visible as this? Maybe Kong's axe came close
@DinoKaiju1227 Yes! You can even see it in how they are fighting! Godzilla is not trying to rip her apart, more like push her away, at most he wants her to submit.
@CaptainCHHS@DMan1954Gojira Every time a new, smaller scale monster fight happens people just seem to suddenly forget the entire context of the movie/episode/comic and just go "Oh no, Godzilla attacked a new shiny monster >:("
Oh my god are people actually jumping on Godzilla the same way that they did with what happened to Tiamat and Scylla? Like, bro, do you even watch watch the same thing or just look up kajiu fights on youtube and call yourself a fan😭
@Mr_goji54 Probably my favourite episode yet simply for the Cocai-Cate scenes and the ending sequence with Godzilla. Glad we finally have a deeper look at Cocai and man, I'm sorry for the poor thing..
