Godzilla: Planet Eater Trailer Breakdown

Well, well, well, guess what the cat dragged in last night? No, it's not another story leak or leaked monster design for Godzilla: King Of The Monsters, but it is something Godzilla related. The second trailer for Godzilla: Planet Eater has dropped and I can't say what my thoughts are for the story, but by certain scenes I think we can all guess where the story is going. With how everything else looks, this movie is starting to come together quite nicely with the animation and cgi, but that is all this movie has going for it. It looks like the same two movies with glitter sprinkled all over it.

I have to say there is not much to break down in this trailer. It gives you a straight forward idea of how the movie's story is gonna go down. Haruo grieves over the loss of his childhood friend and love interest, Yuko, and the exif priest and Haruo's friend, Metphies, has decided to unleash their god or in this case, Ghidorah, onto Earth as their last resort to beat Godzilla. This is basically going to be the same story like the second movie where the plan sounded good at first, but then Haruo is betrayed. While they added other stuff like Haruo's new love interest with Miana, one of the twin sisters from the Houtua tribe, and Metphies now becoming the villain, there is just not a whole lot that this movie is giving.

At the beginning of the trailer, we see the title of the movie, Godzilla roaring in victory after destroying MechaGodzilla City, and a close up shot of Haruo in tears. Basically, we are seeing how the last movie, Godzilla: City On The Edge Of Battle, ended. After a couple shots of the logos of the companies that worked on the film, the next shot we see are two people analyzing Godzilla and maybe measuring the radioactivity at the site where MechaGodzilla city once stood. Sleeping on the job again, as usual. Seriously?! This is the third and last movie and he decides to fall back asleep?! I would've thought that he would be hunting down those pesky humans like Metphies said in the first movie! Metphies, you are a damn liar! It's obvious that Godzilla only gets angry because nobody would leave him alone to take his naps! Let him take his naps!

Afterwards, we see our main protagonist, Haruo, grieving over Yuko's death after the full scale attack on Godzilla at MechaGodzilla City was sabotaged. Next scene is Metphies walking past Haruo and Haruo looking at him like he's suspicious. This is probably after Metphies tries to console and comfort Haruo during his time of grievance, but probably suggested Haruo that they should bring Ghidorah to Earth. Haruo didn't like the plan after how MechaGodzilla City went down, told Metphies no on that plan, and probably before Metphies walked away he could have said something like to Haruo like, "If you're not going to do your job as Commander, then maybe I will do it for you." Metphies probably wont say exactly that, but some sort of threat that will make Haruo suspicious.

The next scene shows some sort of ritual or ceremony at the Houtua village. There is also a figure at the altar made out of sticks. We see one of these later in the trailer being used for a sacrifice conducted by Metphies, but I will get to that later. For now, it is unknown on what the Hatua tribe are using these stick figures for. Honestly, this looks more like a scene from The Wicker Man. In the voice of Nicholas Cage, "NO! NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES!"

We get quick shots of someone walking, Maina looking concerned, and Metphies looking annoyed. First off, it is unknown who is walking in the scene or where that person is going. It could be anyone like Haruo, Metphies, or even a smaller character. Secondly, the past two movies has not made care enough for these characters to even wonder what they are doing or staring at in these scenes.

In these next few shots, we see Metphies thinking of how to proceed with his plan by staring at what looks like either a medallion or the world's last surviving waffle. What is that? What is that shape even suppose to be? Is there some hidden meaning behind it? Whatever it is and seeing how the next few scenes go, he uses this and some green crystal that turns yellow to summon Ghidorah.

Following up, that same green crystal turns yellow and is held up by Metphies. This is the first indication that this crystal serves as a beacon and it shows with Ghidorah's shadow slithering beneath their feet.

The next shot shows Metphies whispering something creepy into someone's ear and I believe that this is where one of the twins realizes that she is about to be used for a ritualistic sacrifice to Ghidorah and this is corresponding with the other close up shot of an eye that belongs to one of the twins.

Between those close up scenes, we see the Exif priest, Endurphe. He is looking troubled probably because he knows from his own experience how much destruction Ghidorah has caused on his planet. Or maybe he is just one of those dads that has high expectations and is disappointed that his son didn't study to be a doctor. My bet is that he is a disappointed dad.

A black hole opens above the space ship and the crystal glowing brighter as Ghidorah approaches closer and closer.
