    *_Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ!_* 「Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah」 is not a stable time loop. The future changed when Emmy went back to it, which would be impossible if the timeline was always predetermined. So it's a split timeline. Here are answers to frequently asked questions, but do note that there just isn't any official explanation for some:
    *_What was King Ghidorah doing in all that time before 1992 in timeline #2? Why didn't it appear?_* As it turns out, the 「GVKG Super Complete Works」 book fills this detail in. On the battle map in page 44, it says King Ghidorah was "sleeping" in the Pacific Ocean until the Futurians gave the command for him to attack in 1992 (the present).
    *_If Shindo couldn't go back in time to 1944 because he and his past self would occupy the same space and time and one of them would vanish, how could Mecha-King Ghidorah travel back to 1992 with King Ghidorah still laying on the sea floor? -_* No official explanation has been uncovered about this, so the best we have is conjecture. You can reason that MKG's abrupt materialization over Hokkaido was so impactful that it instantly split history, allowing both the cyborg body in Hokkaido and the dying body in Okhotsk to coexist. Whereas KIDS stealthily arriving on Lagos Island with Shindo aboard probably would not have been enough to fork the timeline on its own, allowing the possibility of them meeting and for one to vanish. Alternatively, maybe Hokkaido and the Sea of Okhotsk aren't close enough to satisfy the "same PLACE" criteria of Glenchico's stated "same place and same time," so it wouldn't have been a problem unless MKG got close enough to the other body. Or, since we don't see Ghidorah's body in the sea after MKG arrives... perhaps there is no contradiction and it really did disappear. It's never referenced again, after all - only MKG's wreckage appears. It could also have been another lie from the Futurians, meant to keep the powerful and well-connected Shindo from getting an up-close look at their technology.
    *_Is Godzilla 1954 a Godzillasaurus (in the Heisei continuity)? -_* No confirmation one way or the other that the original G was retconned into being a mutated Godzillasaurus, that we've yet found. The original hypothesis by Dr. Kyohei Yamane is that G54 is a large prehistoric reptile that was awakened by nuclear testing (not mutated, like the Godzillasaurus).
    *_If Emmy went to timeline #2's year 2204, and not the 2204 she came from (#1), how does Morrys recognize her? Are there two Emmy's in timeline #2? -_*
    // *Q: How does Morrys know that Emmy was successful in changing the timeline? Is he the same Morrys from timeline 1 to realize that this change happened?* A: Maybe he doesn't know. Or Emmy told him what she did. The most that happens in his scene is that Emmy asks to turn King Ghidorah into a cyborg [to save Japan in the past], Morrys tells her Japan is a failure, and she says "Yeah I know but plz tho."
    // *Q: Does this timeline's [#2] Morrys know who Emmy is or is she a random person to him? Is she a duplicate of an Emmy already existing in timeline #2 who he knows?* A: Could be either one. Maybe changing things in 1992 had catastrophic effects and prevented Emmy from ever being born. Or she was just impersonating the Emmy of that timeline long enough to get MKG made. It's not explained.
    *_How do the timeline #2 versions of Wilson and Glenchico, who didn’t travel back to 1944, remember that Japan became a superpower in timeline #1 if Godzilla destroys it in timeline #2? Wouldn’t they never have needed to travel back to 1992 at all? -_* Unclear! We didn’t find any kind of explanation for this one. You could hypothesize that MOTHER, which they remain inside during the mission, allows the people within it to keep their memories of past timelines even if they didn't cause the branch themselves. It would also have to somehow render them immune to cause-and-effect chains created by a new timeline. Fujio, who was inside MOTHER with them, but didn't go back in time, also demonstrates cross-timeline memory by recognizing that Godzilla was no longer in the Sea of Japan in timeline #2, lending credence to this assertion... But again, no official explanation.
    *_Wouldn't there technically exist an infinite number of timelines, created by any miniscule action taken (the butterfly effect)? How, or why, are there only 3 timelines? -_* This is not commented on; there may be more or there might not. But there's only 3 that are relevant or we ever see.

      As regards the question of 84 and Biollante, both GvKG and RoM III seem to follow the time travel model of the movie Frequency, in which a new timeline appears, wholesale in the 'present,' instantly replacing the past timeline, without having replaced that timeline. I.E. everything that happened in the original timeline has still happened, and the new timeline appears 'already in progress' in its place. Hence, 84 and Biollante still happened, and simply give way to the new timeline at the moment of time travel- hence characters being aware of Godzilla having vanished (from the spot he was located in at the end of Biollante, it is explicitly mentioned).
      The new Godzilla appears in the spot he was in the Bering Sea because he has indeed never moved from that spot, but people still remember the old timeline, and its effects (such as Shindo's death) still persist, because the new Godzilla was never erased from history, just replaced by a new present day status quo without overwriting the old one. The timelines switched in mid-stream, in 1992, rather than creating a whole new alternate 1944-1991.
      This also answers the last question about Wilson and Grenchiko remembering timeline 1, because old timelines are not erased from people's memory- they're just replaced 'from the present moment, onward.'

    Amazing work but I think there is a simpler explanation for the "two Ghidorahs paradox": the old King Ghidorah was erased BECAUSE of the paradox, and THAT started the third timeline; a third timeline with a Mecha King Ghidorah from the second timeline and no original King Ghidorah corpse to salvage in its own future. This doesn't matter, because they WANTED to create a future in the third timeline where they wouldn't need to build Mecha King Ghidorah (by defeating Godzilla). By contrast, they didn't want that guy to go to the past because if the past version of the guy vanished it would add an unnecesary element of unpredicatbility to the new (second) timeline they were trying to create.

    It'd also be pretty cool if Grand King Ghidorah is the same species of the one in the timeline the Futurians come from that is used for the alien DNA to make to artificial Dorat pets so we can have both a classic alien Ghidorah and the artificial one in the same universe (just different timelines)

Also, what was King Ghidora been doing in 40 years, but suddenly he made an appearance on the present day? More importantly, when the Futurian explained about Godzilla destroyed Japan in the future, why Emmy didn't become suspicious of their lies? Especially, why did she agreed to released the 3 Dorats?

    My attempted explanation for Godzilla seemingly being ‘created’ in 1989 despite having being mutated before 1984 is technically, he is created in both circumstances.
    This is because prior to GvK, Godzilla is simply referred to as 3rd Gen Godzilla, while as of 1991, he is referred to as "Powered-Up" 3rd Gen Godzilla, which is carried into future Heisei films. This mutation is what caused his increase in height and ridded him of the ANAB infection. In a sense, a new Godzilla was created.
    I could be wrong though.

    This is the problem when messing around with time travel. I think Toho just wanted to do something different that they hadn’t tried with Godzilla before and didn’t care about continuity. That also might explain why the Millinium era of films did not follow an ongoing continuity, so that the writers and producers wouldn’t have to worry about it.

      Yeah, I tend to pretty much always hate the idea of time travel in just about any movie. Particularly because the idea of alternate timelines and multiverses, to me, is just stupid as hell and even more illogical than the notion of time travel itself.
      At least the "Fixed Time Loop" theory leaves it all as one timeline, one sequence of events that always happens and never changes. No matter what is possible, things only happen one way.
      They always time traveled, they always created Heisei Godzilla, and they always caused history by trying to change it.
      I wish the film had leaned more into that line of thinking. Such as characters wondering why they all still remember Godzilla if they hypothetically now exist in a timeline without Godzilla. The world of Japan in the new "altered timeline" being exactly as it was before they time traveled.

    So, to summarise: timeline 1 occurs with both Godzilla Gen 1 and Gen 3 being created by the Castle Bravo test, 1954 attack on Tokyo and the death of the Godzilla Gen 1 occurs, and Gen 3 stays hidden until 1984, thus resulting in the events leading up to the start of Vs. King Ghidorah - has the timeline remained untampered, Godzilla would have remained out-of-action. The creation of timeline 2 changes the origins of Gen 3 only (the Futurians are unaware that 2 Godzillas were created by Castle Bravo) but not necessarily the events that occured in 1984 and Vs. Biollante according to the followups, but also undoes the effects of the Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria Godzilla was infected with.
    I have to wonder though: would Japan in timeline 1 have been destroyed by Destoroyah since there was no Godzilla to stop it? Its creation was tied to the Gen 1 Godzilla, which still came ashore. Obviously the next three films would not happen as-is or at all (no Mechagodzilla, and quite possibly no Spacegodzilla either depending on which theory of its creation is accurate).

      Timeline 1 probably had just Mothra fighting Battra with Mothra probably winning, no MechaGodzilla, Godzilla Junior is raised in isolation by Rodan on their island, No SpaceGodzilla due to less G-Cells in Space or SpaceGodzilla floated through space in the opposite direction of Earth, Destroyah probably still attacked but the military probably found their own way of killing him we don’t know about, and/or maybe something else like Mothra, and/or even Godzilla Junior, and Rodan getting involved somehow with them beating Destroyah with some combination of them dying then the survivors just not bothering Japan again thus allowing Japan to prosper.

    This was such a fun video and exploration! RIP Kazuki Omori!
    The only remaining questions I have after this are: what the hell was King Ghidorah doing for the time between 1954 when they'd awakened to 1992? This is less of a plot hole and more a fun thing to speculate on.
    The other question I have is that the events of Return of Godzilla and Godzilla vs. Biollante have to be different at least somewhat correct? Because if they were the exact same....Timeline 1 would just happen again due to the anti-nuclear bacteria shot into him at the end of Biollante. I think that Return and Biollante can have happened to be VERY similar but with things slightly altered, like Return and Biollante would have had a much BIGGER Godzilla for one. On top of this the modern nuclear weapons being used in his creation probably altered the effectiveness of the ANB. So maybe Return/Biollante did get shifted to happen in say 1989/1990 with MOSTLY the same plotline but with minor differences. Like say in Timeline 3 Bigger Godzilla still killed Gondo and fought Biollante but the ANB was less effective. You could make it all work with very minor tweaks but I think some differences would have to happen in order for the whole puzzle to fit together.
    Regardless this is very fun to chat and theorize about!

    8:53 "Same Matter can't occupy the same space" as JCVD from 1994s Timecop would state.
    This bit of time-travel conundrum really baffles me as its not really time-travel but more about matter not being able to be in the same space.
    Eg:- there's a lamp post, a person can lean on it, put their hand on it but they cannot be in the exact space as the lamp post without the impossible ability to merge ones atomic structure with the lamp post.
    Or in teleportation on how dangerous it can potentially be for foreign objects to be in the same space (David Cronenbergs The Fly)
    It could be possible for the Shindo's meet but the Futurians were very crafty as to sway the others from not doing this as it could've compromised their plans in some way.

    I have two theories as to why mecha-king Ghidorah was able to appear in the third timeline when Ghidorah’s non-cybernetic corpse was also around. The first is that when Mecha-King Ghidorah came to fight Godzilla, the monster was coming to the past with 40% of his organic self, as the organic middle head and parts of the wings were destroyed by Godzilla (alongside the possibility that sea-life was perhaps eating at Ghidorah’s corpse). When he came, it’s possible that Mecha-King Ghidorah under the rules of the Futerians time travel measures was indeed a different monster from the more organic Ghidorah. A second theory is that if a person from the future meets his/her past self, and causes one of them to disappear, this could be because either the past or future self of the person was killed or altered. It’s possible that for safety perceptions the Futerians never want a person of the future meeting their past self in order to avoid deaths and disappearances, alongside any other complications or alterations between past or future versions of people. In the film, Mecha-King Ghidorah and organic King Ghidorah never meet canonically, so theirs little worry for either version vanishing.

    one more thing to note that the original godzilla show up in 1954 in all timelines. Proof that it happen during the branch off is that the editor ask the male character about something involving his book which he replied that godzilla was no longer around to himself. That proof that the original wasn't the same one, of course since the original died from the oxygen destroyer than the test produce two godzilla not one and they got the wrong one.

  • @legionbeast
    @legionbeast ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I personally had theorized that when MKG is brought back in time, his self in the ocean vanishes. Afterwards, Japan salvages the machinery off of his body and leaves his comatose body where it lay, leaving a badly wounded, two headed monster that is barely alive, yet can be repaired with futurian technology, which would be sent back to drag godzilla to sea.
    Yes this basically would mean King Ghidorah would be suffering an eternity of being in a coma for 200 years, repaired with technology, sent back to fight against Godzilla, nearly die, get the machinery stripped off him, then lay in another coma for another 200 years forever. Also, considering his synthetic nature, it's possible he doesn't age and any genetic damage done would be repaired in the future as well.

    i honestly view the timeline as splitting from the godzillasaurus fate with ghidorah taking his spot with him being put into the sea(which was where i got confused as i thought he got erased at 1st.) with later on him getting it from the sub with an unseen different godzillasaurus becoming 1954 as the events of it still happen and characters remember him/godzilla still feeling betrayed by humanity(really puts in perspective junior causing him to calm down afterwards.) with the other timeline being where mecha kg came from(did even before that theory wonder why the just killed one wasn't used instead of his long dead corpse.) or heisei godzilla disappearing for a bit only to be brought back by the change.
    also find it cool in hindsight it tricks the audience by thinking japan became a superpower by heisei big g/trick by the futerions only to in destroyah imply it's actually a now grown junior protecting the country(with how he has a better relationship with humans.) from threats/jealous nations that for all we know could've helped out the futerions actions.

    If there was one godzillasaurus on the island, then there were probably more. At least there had to be enough godzillasaurs to maintain a breeding population. Personally, I like to interpret this film so that timeline 1 represents the Showa era, with the godzillasaurus we see being the second Godzilla from "Godzilla Raids Again", and timelines 2 & 3 represent the Hesei era. I suppose the Millennium era could represent additional timelines.

    Honestly, it seems just as likely that the only reason time travel was included in this movie is that the Terminator films were so popular (well, hey there, M-11), and they then just didn’t think out the technical aspects of it properly. I know that doesn’t offer any *in-universe* explanations, and we have to take it into account when considering the events of future movies, but I suspect that’s the real world reason for it.

    In short terms, is Ghidorah around in the 2nd timeline, during the events of RoG and GVB. But simply just dormant on lagos Island during those events until the futurians activate him?
