Cybernetic Alien Monster: Gigan
Tumblr media
Gigan was once a peaceful alien creature before being cybernetically transformed by the M Space Hunter Nebula Aliens into a living weapon. The monster's psyche was buried beneath the programming of the Nebulan's special action tapes, turning them into an efficient and remorseless killing machine. Gigan was sent to Earth to aid the Seatopians in their invasion of the surface world alongside their guardian monster Megalon.

I love the paper thin nonsense plots in Kaiju movies that exist solely to get two monsters in the same general area and give them an excuse to fuck each other up
King Kong Escapes is about a mad scientist who wants to use King Kong as... Mining equipment?? To sell some random unobtainium to a generic evil military power?? And he also just HAS a giant robot kong??
Godzilla vs Megalon is about some random underground people getting pissed at humans for dropping bombs on their roof. So they sick their pet giant beetle on us? And they're allies of the M Space Hunter Nebula aliens so they just make a phone call and summon GIGAN. Also a scientist just happened to be working on a robotic knockoff Ultraman at the same time?
Frankenstein Conquers the World (Frankenstein vs Baragon) has more bullshit in the opening preamble than most films have in their entire runtime

Gigan is literally a Hork-Bajir.
Beaked dinosaur alien thing? Check.
Green/Yellow color scheme? Check.
Unnecessary fuckton of spikes? Check.
So my headcanon for this is (ignoring the fact that he is huge, maybe they mutated him or smth)(this is showa timeline btw): as the Yeerks invaded the Hork-Bajir homeworld, Gigan managed to escape. He ended up meeting the M Space Hunter Nebula aliens (dang that's a long name). Being a peaceful creature, he trusted them immidiatly. However, the MSHN aliens had the same thought process as the Yeerks, which was "big spiky dino make good soldier". Knowing they only had one, they tricked Gigan into accepting their leadership before mauling him and replacing half his body with cybernetics. The first addition was giving him wings, which are probably the worst piece of technology in Gigan now. As they used mind control, Gigan couldn't rebel, so now he's kinda stuck, having ran away from one mind-controlling threat only to walk straight into another.
I had this random thought at 1 AM a week ago, and it's been haunting me ever since.

Which Godzilla Kaiju do you think represent the seven sins/virtues?
Ghidorah is Pride - big, glittering golden dragon that thinks it can do whatever it wants because it's the strongest
Destoroyah is Wrath - her whole deal is being part of an endless cycle of violence, a monster born out of the weapon used to kill Godzilla who in turn was born from another weapon and so on and so forth
In modern Catholicism, pollution has been categorized as a sin of gluttony, since gluttony is about the overconsumption & waste of resources, so Hedorah is our glutton
The Space Hunters from Nebula M have a sleazy capitalist vibe to them, and they lend out Gigan as muscle for hire, so I think we can justify Gigan being Greed.
Orga wanted to be Godzilla so bad it tried to eat him, so I think we can give Orga Envy.
Lust is difficult because I don't really see any of the monsters as embodying a hedonistic lifestyle. Maybe the Mutos, since they didn't care how many people had to die for them to get laid?
SpaceGodzilla is Sloth because it's a lazy design!

by Scottest_54
An AU where the guardians aren't the ragtag bunch of space pirates and thieves they are instead treasure hunters on earth so the only things that has changed is the fact they're all human. Enjoy.
-
Pushing the large stone pillars was the easy part, at least until the final one. Peter and Thor pushed the large chained rock but the second it became loose and fell into the inky abyss was the second Peter's foot slipped and he too nearly fell into the chasm were it not for two large arms that quickly wrapped around his stomach and pulled him back. "Best to watch your step, my friend." Thor said but Quill wasn't all that concerned about the brush with death but instead his attention was drawn to the feeling of solid muscle beneath his friend's shirt.
The traps and falls weren't going to kill him, no that was too cliche. Thor and his stupidly sexy muscles were going to be the death of Peter Quill

My idea for a redo of Gigan’s Masters
It was kinda vague in the film itself (or at least the dub where they talk of translating a message rather than decoding it) whether the space-roaches were the same race as those who sent GIgan...or just called upon Gigan like the Seatopians did.
so heres the pitch: Terrorist Charity Oranization.
This isn’t meant to be political but just “hey would the be f*cked up or what?”
 The people of  the M Space Hunter Nebula are in my vision are a very advanced silicon based species who are a bunch of busybodies meddling in affairs of organic races they don’t fully understand because they have arrogance and nothing better to do
They help refugees resettle... often by killing people they judge undeserving and giving their land or planet to the “more deserving”/
They may be a species similar to Spacegodzilla’s, because I really like the idea of Crystalline monolith hiveminds or even them creating Spacegodzilla as their “totally original character”.

‘Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee - ‘Megalon’’
[GCN] [USA] [MAGAZINE, SPREAD] [2002]
“Megalon is the god to the Seatopians, and he was their way to take revenge on the humans who were damaging their world with nuclear tests. They called upon Megalon to destroy the humans and sent the captured Jet Jaguar to guide the monster on his rampage through Japan. The people of Japan revolted and attacked the beast, to no avail. Help arrived when Goro Ibuki, the scientist who created Jet Jaguar, managed to free the robot from the control of the Seatopians.
He sent Jet Jaguar to Monster Island to find Godzilla. In the time that Jet Jaguar was gone, Megalon was lost and confused. Jet Jaguar returned to Japan and reprogrammed himself to grow to kaiju size then attacked Megalon, causing the Seatopians to contact the M Space Hunter Nebula Aliens and ask for Gigan's assistance. Gigan arrived and he and Megalon double-teamed Jet Jaguar. Eventually, Godzilla arrived and joined forces with Jet Jaguar against Gigan and Megalon.
After a long battle, Gigan retreated back to outer space, leaving Megalon at the mercy of Godzilla and Jet Jaguar. The two monsters pummeled the helpless Megalon before he finally burrowed back to Seatopia, defeated.” ~Gojipedia

Unexpected Movie Review: Destroy All Monsters
I have finally finished the Showa era of Godzilla movies. (Just the Godzilla movies. There are still a few random non-Godzilla titles from the Showa era I need to see, like Varan, the Unbelievable, Frankenstein vs. Baragon, Matango, stuff like that...) But at the very least I’ve finished the Godzilla movies from that era. The only one I hadn’t seen was Destroy All Monsters.
Tumblr media
For some reason it was the one movie that never came on cable TV Godzilla marathons when I was a kid and never showed up on the shelf at video rental shops or even in the DVD bargain bin at Walmart. So after finally obtaining a copy I sat down to watch it tonight and... wow... That was it...? For having one of the largest cast of kaiju in a Godzilla movie, that was probably the most embarrassing attempt by an alien race to take over the Earth I’ve ever seen... So embarrassing that I just can’t keep it to myself and I have to do a review on this movie.
This movie was made back in 1968 but it’s set in the far off future of 1999... And it’s kind of hilarious sitting here watching what people in the 60s thought the future was going to look like when that future is now the past... I mean... remember back in the 90s when the UN built a moon base and we had daily flights between the Earth and the moon? And the under water base where we were busy making new breeds of fish? Damn... I miss that... That Y2K bug really set us back decades... But I guess the biggest achievement of the 90s was when we gathered up all the kaiju on the planet and locked them up on an island contained inside a magnetic shell. Because kaiju are magnetic, right...? That’s why they can’t get out...? Maybe they’re like sharks and magnets screw with their senses... Either way we were keeping them contained on this island we conveniently named “Monster Land” and were feeding them a steady diet of dolphins. Because fuck dolphins, am I right?
But then suddenly all the monsters are out and stomping all over the place. And I do mean suddenly. Like, one moment they are sitting there watching the monsters on the monitors and then they take their eyes off of them for five minutes and suddenly Rodan is leveling Moscow, Mothra is fucking up Beijing, Gorosaurus is in Paris knocking down  the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile while a mildly annoyed Frenchman yells about it as if it was no worse than his cat throwing up on the living room floor and the news reporters can’t even be bothered to get the monster’s name right, calling him Baragon... And Godzilla shows up and starts attacking New York City.
And my first thought is, wait a minute... This is taking place in 1999... So from where I’m sitting here in the future, I’m aware of things the film makers weren’t back in 1968 when this movie was made. Namely the existence of Godzilla 98. Which according to Godzilla Final Wars is canon in the Godzilla universe... Which means that after New York was attacked by Zilla in 1998 it then got attacked again by the actual Godzilla only a year later? That sucks... And if you count Godzilla: The Animated Series as canon (I don’t know if you would want to, but if you did...) then Zilla Jr. would have still been hanging around. Why haven’t we had a movie about the deleted scene where Godzilla fights Zilla Jr. yet? I want to see that.
But regardless of any of that, after the monsters start wrecking shit for no apparent reason, the aliens (because of course it’s aliens) show up, but this time they aren’t even subtle about it. No offering us a cure for cancer if we send Godzilla to the moon or back in time or anything like that... They just show up and are instantly like,
Tumblr media
Only they already have control of all of our monsters and have already started mind controlling people so it’s not so much a trade offer as it is more of a we already made the trade without asking you kind of deal... But here’s where it gets kind of embarrassing because Japan and England (who are apparently the only members of the UN not on vacation this week) are both just kind of like, “Uhh... it only took us like twenty minutes to figure out how to spot the people you’ve mind controlled and remove the mind control implants... so how about you fuck yourself instead? Oh also, we see you as so little of a threat that we aren’t even breaking out the military for this. We just grabbed a handfull of astronauts and sent them to go steal the thing you are using to control the monsters. So yeah...”
Of course the aliens are like, “Wait, no... That’s not how this is supposed to work! Haven’t you ever been invaded before?!”
“Yeah, like, every other year for the last twenty years... This is just a regular August for us.”
“Shit... uhh... King Ghidorah!”
So the aliens call King Ghidorah, who is apparently working for them this year... I imagine King Ghidorah’s resume has got to look like total shit at this point. “Yeah I worked for the Venusians back in 1964. They got defeated... Then I worked for Planet X in 1965. They got defeated... Worked for Space Hunter Nebula M in 1972... They got defeated... Basically I’ve botched a lot of invasion attempts causing all my former emploiers to go extinct so honestly I’ll work for anyone who’s offering a paycheck at this point.”
And when King Ghidorah finally shows up for this kaiju royal rumble he shows up looking like Scott Hall making his way to the ring for the main event of Monday Night Nitro. In other words... he looks like he just got finished having an all night bender with Gigan and Megalon and is still hungover as fuck. And it really shows when the fight lasts all of about five minutes and Ghidorah gets the most embarrassing ass beating he’s ever had. I mean the guy shows up and is instantly gang banged by Godzilla, Anguirus, Gorosaurus, Mothra, Kumonga, and Minilla. Rodan just spends his time working air control to keep flying saucers out of the fight and Varan, Manda, and Baragon just sit back and eat popcorn while they watch the whole thing go down because at that point it’s already embarrassing enough without them getting involved. They even hold Ghidorah down and let fucking Minilla have the final kill shot then Minilla dances on Ghidorah‘s battered, unconscious body to add insult to injury.
And during this whole debacle Anguirus finds the alien’s hidden base on accident and Godzilla just walks over and puts his foot through the thing like it’s hardly even worth his time.
Never in my life have I ever seen an alien invasion go this bad. And in a way, setting the movie in the future kind of works from a comical standpoint. I don’t think the movie was intended to be a comedy, (That was reserved for Godzilla’s Revenge) but it works as one. Everyone in the movie from the human actors to the monsters were just kind of like, Yeah yeah, we’ve already done this a hundred times already. You really picked the wrong planet to pull this shit on. The idea of a movie showing the Godzilla universe dealing with Alien Invasion Attempt #50 and just giving no shits about it at this point is kind of brilliant. I’m sure it was all unintentional, but unintentionally brilliant is still brilliant.

THE SMOG MASTERS
A green glowing messenger hedorah delivers a memo to a high ranking Smog Coordinator in regards to the death of a slime sent to Earth roughly half a century ago. While the deadly Threefold Beast and the Roach Folk have been known to be active in that territory, it seems the neophyte was killed by native earthlings. Local lifeforms used elec-trickery to dry out the poor polliwog before it could achieve true sapience, helped by some sort of blue fire dragon-demon. Oh well, not every effort is going to be a success like M Space Hunter Nebula, but that won't stop the Coalesced Minds of Smogsphere from continuing their sacred quests across the galaxy, draining the worlds of their fumes and vapors and leaving them as dark, greasy paradise worlds before making the pilgrimage back to Smogsphere. Doing the universe a favor, as the Coordinator sees it. After all they don't cause pollution, they just harvest it.

MESSIER 91 GALAXY M91 (NGC 4548) is a faint barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices and is a member of the Virgo Galaxy Cluster. The galaxy lies about 55 million light years from Earth. It has a very prominent bar structure connected to two outer arms that trail stars and interstellar dust. The distribution of the atomic gas shows a ring-like structure.
When Charles Messier was observing and logging deep space objects on the night of March 18, 1781, chances are very good that M91 was what he was describing when he recorded: “Nebula without stars, fainter than M90″. But, there was a problem… Charles Messier made a rare bookkeeping mistake and logged its position wrong. So, for a long time M91 was a missing Messier object, as Messier had determined its position from M89 while he thought it was from M58. M91 was catalogued as H II.120 by William Herschel in 1784. Navigating using the directions that Messier initially, yet erroneously logged, Herschel thought the object to be NGC 4571, a beautiful but faint barred spiral galaxy. The identity of M91 was corrected by observations by astronomer William C. Williams in 1969. Prior opinions have been that M91 had either been a comet which the great comet hunter Messier mistook for a nebula. Measurements done by the Hubble Space Telescope indicate that M91 is moving away from us at a speed of about 400 km/s (895,000 mph). The galaxy’s particular speed is unusual because the Virgo Cluster is moving away from us at a speed of 1100 km/s (2.4 million mph), indicating M91 must be traveling toward us at 700 km/s (1.5 million mph) relative to the other galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. -JMP http://www.universetoday.com/48349/messier-91/ http://messier.seds.org/m/m091.html Image Credit: Kitt Peak National Observatory (Haynes)/NOAO/AURA/NSF

Gigan, what happened between you and Ghidorah?
 “Oouuh, eeh... ‘da’s a lotta shit t’unpack, but--” Gigan sighs as he rubs his sickle-hand along his neck. “Ah’ll tell ya, I s’pose...”
 “All start’d when Ghidorah came t’my planet, an’ ah was jus’ a chick back ‘den. He attacked, an’ destroyed the place, ‘den came fer m’parents an’ me. But me bein’ me, still a dumbass back ‘den, heh... I got in his way, an’ begged him not to kill ‘em, and I’d let him take me in exchange... surprised he even agreed to it. Maybe it was jus’ cause I’d be free labor fer ‘im. Anyway, he let ‘em live, but I got taken by ‘im and his ‘masters’, the M Space Hunter Nebula aliens.”
“-- ‘Dat’s when shit hit the fan, so t’speak. I was raised t’be a weapon, an’ made into a cyborg as soon as ah was old ‘nough. An’ after that... I was more or less Ghidorah’s pawn an’ punchin’ bag. Ev’ry time I fucked up a mission, ah’d get beat up or threatened with bein’ beat up. Sometimes he even wen’ as far as t’rip off part of m’fins an’ scales, or even rip off one o’ my arms entirely...”
“... He was an abusive piece o’ shit, t’put it bluntly.”

A pair of jets protrude outwards in near-perfect symmetry in this image of Herbig-Haro object (HH) 212, taken by ESO’s already decommissioned Infrared Spectrometer And Array Camera (ISAAC).
The object lies in the constellation of Orion (The Hunter) in a dense molecular star-forming region, not far from the famous Horsehead Nebula. In regions like this, clouds of dust and gas collapse under the force of gravity, spinning faster and faster and becoming hotter and hotter until a young star ignites at the cloud’s centre. Any leftover material swirling around the newborn protostar comes together to form an accretion disc that will, under the right circumstances, eventually evolve to form the base material for the creation of planets, asteroids and comets.
Although this process is still not fully understood, it is common that a protostar and its accretion disc, as seen here edge-on, are the cause of the jets in this image. The star at the centre of HH 212 is indeed a very young star, at only a few thousand years old. Its jets are remarkably symmetric, with several knots appearing at relatively stable intervals. This stability suggests that the jet pulses vary quite regularly, and over a short timescale — maybe even as short as 30 years! Further out from the centre, large bow shocks spread out into interstellar space, caused by ejected gas colliding with dust and gas at speeds of several hundred kilometres per second.

“Great!” X would clap his hands together, his smile turning from one of malice into one of cheerful joy, before he looks to Nicholas, his warmly sweet smile giving off a sort of menacing aura. “So, I repeat my question! What does it do? What are you planning to make it do? Because, after all, if it’s just a prototype that does nothing, then we can simply salvage it and see how it ticks. A chance to see how other humanoids tech works? How could we pass up that opportunity?” The Xilien would ask, his smile slowly growing more and more sadistic. He wanted to make sure Nicholas knew how much he fucked up, and he was savoring his despair in trying to dig himself out of his grave.  “It won’t do you any good to lie to me, Prisoner. If it exists, then we will find it, and whether it be organic or inorganic, we will use it. Anything to complete our goals of disassembling your DNA will be vital to our operations. Even if it seems insignificant, we will tear it apart, because, knowing you, you probably hid those designs in some impossible to open box or something. However... You should know that our species, despite not being actual cockroaches, unlike the M Space Hunter Nebula Aliens... We adapt rather quickly. It’s what allowed us to become a spacefaring empire.” The Xilien would boast his mental victory over the Shapeshifter, unable to hold back maniacal, mocking laughter.
