00:10So, the big buzz around Godzilla X-Kong Supernova is all about SpaceGodzilla, and honestly it's
00:16hard not to get excited about the possibilities here.
00:18The film's title basically screams that something cosmic is coming, and with the Writers Guild
00:23of America Directory confirming that SpaceGodzilla is indeed the main villain, it's not really
00:28a secret anymore.
00:30But the real question isn't if he's showing up, it's how he's going to be brought into
00:35the MonsterVerse.
00:36And there's this one theory that makes a whole lot of sense, because it ties back to something
00:40that already happened on screen, which would be a pretty clever way to handle his origin.
00:45So let's talk about how SpaceGodzilla was originally created in the 1994 movie Godzilla vs. Space
00:52Godzilla, because that gives us a solid blueprint.
00:54In that film, his origin was directly linked to earlier events in the Heisei series.
01:00Basically, some of Godzilla's G-cells ended up in outer space through a couple of different
01:06incidents.
01:07First, Biollante, this genetically engineered monster that was partly made from Godzilla's
01:12DNA, flew into space at the end of Godzilla vs. Biollante.
01:16Then, in Godzilla vs. Mothra, Mothra and Batra dropped Godzilla into the ocean, and when Mothra
01:23later left Earth, she had some of Godzilla's DNA still on her claws.
01:27So those cells drifted into space, got exposed to the energy of a black hole, and boom, SpaceGodzilla
01:34was born.
01:35It was a neat way of connecting the dots between movies, and it made his creation feel like
01:39a natural consequence of what had already happened.
01:43Now, the MonsterVerse has a pretty good track record of staying true to the spirit of Toho's
01:48original creations, even when they put their own spin on things.
01:51So it makes sense that they'd want to honor SpaceGodzilla's roots in some way, even if
01:56they tweak the details.
01:57And that's where this theory gets really interesting, because there's already a moment in Godzilla
02:03King of the Monsters that could serve as the perfect setup for his origin.
02:06Think back to the ending of King of the Monsters.
02:10Ghidorah picks up a battered Godzilla, flies him high into the atmosphere, maybe even into
02:15space, and then drops him back down to Earth.
02:18It's this dramatic, brutal moment, and Godzilla is obviously pretty messed up afterward.
02:23So it's not a stretch to imagine that some of his blood or cells could have been left
02:27behind in the upper atmosphere or even in space itself during that sequence.
02:32If that happened, those cells could have been floating out there for years, slowly mutating
02:37and evolving into something new, and that would mean SpaceGodzilla technically already
02:42exists, and he's been growing this whole time, just waiting to make his grand entrance.
02:47That would be a really elegant way to handle his origin, because it connects directly to
02:52an event that fans already saw on screen.
02:54It's not some random backstory that comes out of nowhere, it's something that's been brewing
02:59in the background since King of the Monsters.
03:01And the timeline works out perfectly too.
03:04Godzilla X-Kong The New Empire took place in 2027, which was 8 years after King of the
03:10Monsters.
03:11And Supernova could easily be set a few years after that, so SpaceGodzilla would have had
03:16plenty of time to develop into whatever form he takes when he finally shows up.
03:21That's a solid decade or so of growth, which feels like enough time for something like
03:26that to happen.
03:27But here's where it gets even more interesting.
03:30If SpaceGodzilla is created from Godzilla's cells that were left behind during that Ghidorah
03:36encounter, then Ghidorah's DNA might also be part of the mix.
03:40After all, Ghidorah was the one carrying Godzilla up there, and he was shedding bits of himself
03:45throughout the movie too.
03:47So if SpaceGodzilla ends up being a fusion of Godzilla and Ghidorah's genetic material, that
03:53could give some really wild abilities or physical traits that are associated with Ghidorah.
03:59Maybe he'd have some of Ghidorah's regenerative powers, or even his ability to channel lightning
04:04or control the weather.
04:05That would make him an even more dangerous threat, because he wouldn't just be a space-born
04:10clone of Godzilla, he'd be this hybrid monstrosity that combines the strengths of two Alpha Titans.
04:16And honestly, that's exactly the kind of threat that justifies an epic team-up between
04:21Godzilla and Kong.
04:23If SpaceGodzilla is essentially the most dangerous force the MonsterVerse has ever seen, then it
04:28makes total sense that the two biggest Titans would have to put aside their differences
04:32and work together to take him down.
04:35It raises the stakes in a way that feels natural and earned, because it's not just another
04:39ancient rival showing up for a rematch, it's something entirely new that's been secretly
04:44growing for years.
04:46Now, there have been other theories floating around about how SpaceGodzilla could be introduced,
04:51and some of them are pretty creative too.
04:54One popular idea is that he could be a product of the Hollow Earth, like maybe a member of
04:59Godzilla's species got mutated by something down there, or maybe he was created by one
05:05of those strange energy rifts.
05:07But that approach kind of undermines the whole space part of his name, because it takes away
05:12the cosmic element that makes him so distinctive.
05:15SpaceGodzilla is supposed to be this extraterrestrial nightmare, not just another underground monster.
05:21Another theory suggests that SpaceGodzilla could be an ancient Titan that absorbed energy
05:26from a fallen meteor sometime in the distant past, kind of like how Godzilla evolved after
05:31absorbing power from Tiamat's lair.
05:34That would make him an old rival that either Godzilla or the Kongs fought centuries ago, which
05:39fits with the MonsterVerse's ongoing themes about ancient Titan rivalries.
05:44But honestly, that feels a bit tired at this point.
05:47Every major villain in the MonsterVerse Ghidorah, the Mutohs, even Mechagodzilla by virtue of
05:52Ghidorah's skull, has been tied to some ancient conflict or forgotten battle.
05:57It's starting to feel like a pattern, and it would be refreshing to see something different.
06:02So that's why the King of the Monsters connection is so appealing.
06:05It avoids all those cliches, and gives us a villain that's brand new to Godzilla and
06:10Kong, even though he still has a proper setup in the lore.
06:14He's not some ancient enemy from the Hollow Earth or a leftover from a prehistoric war.
06:19He's a direct consequence of something we already saw happen.
06:23That makes his appearance feel more organic and less like the MonsterVerse is just recycling
06:28the same old tropes.
06:29Plus, it opens up all kinds of narrative possibilities.
06:34If SpaceGodzilla has been growing for years, then what has he been doing all that time?
06:39Has he been waiting, or has he been building up his strength?
06:42And when he finally arrives, is he going to be mindless, or is he going to have some kind
06:47of intelligence or agenda?
06:49The fact that he's tied to Ghidorah could also add another layer, because Ghidorah was
06:54always portrayed as this malevolent, almost intelligent force of destruction.
06:58So, if SpaceGodzilla has some of that in him, he could be even more calculating and dangerous
07:04than a typical rampaging Titan.
07:07And let's not forget that Supernova is supposed to be this huge cosmic-scale event.
07:13The title itself suggests something explosive and otherworldly, so having a villain that
07:18literally comes from space fits that vibe perfectly.
07:21It's a natural escalation from the previous films, where the threats were mostly Earth-based
07:26or tied to ancient history.
07:29This time, the danger is coming from beyond, and it's been brewing for years without anyone
07:33even knowing about it.
07:35So all things considered, this theory just makes a lot of sense.
07:39It honors SpaceGodzilla's Toho origins by tying his creation to past events.
07:45It avoids the pitfalls of other theories.
07:47And it gives the MonsterVerse a chance to do something fresh and exciting with its biggest
07:52villains.
07:53And honestly, that's exactly what the franchise needs right now.
07:56Something that feels new, but still rooted in what came before.
08:00If Godzilla X-Kong Supernova goes this route, it could end up being one of the most satisfying
08:05entries in the MonsterVerse.
08:07Because it's not just about two Titans fighting a big monster.
08:10It's about the consequences of everything that's happened so far, finally coming back in
08:15a way that no one saw coming.
08:17And that's that for today's video.
08:19Thanks for watching and we will see you in the next one.
