Artist Hilariously Illustrates 10 Ways In Which Godzilla Was Able To Stand In A 12.100ft Deep Ocean
Godzilla: King of the Monsters is out and it opened with $49 million at the domestic box office, a start well below 2014’s Godzilla ($93 million). The new movie has plenty of throwaway shots of Titans shambling around and causing destruction, but when it comes to them actually fighting, it shortchanges audiences with only a few meetups. We do get, however, some frame-worthy movie mistake shots elsewhere, and one of them caught the eye of a webcomic creator, Ernest Ng. Particularly, the one where Godzilla is blasting his breath into the sky.

Ernest couldn’t figure out how the beast was able to keep afloat, so he went on a quest to find out. Armed with creativity and a sense of humor, he tried to imagine what was happening beneath the surface of this popular movie. “This problem was pointed out by my friend Dan Khoo, so I tried to figure [it out],” he wrote. “Maybe the real problem is that I overthink.”
The artist is quite familiar with Hollywood’s take on the classic movie franchise. “I’ve seen the 2014 Godzilla and Kong: Skull Island,” Ernest told Bored Panda. “I remember watching the old Godzilla movies ones as a kid but can’t remember much about them. I only recall Mechagodzilla and Mecha-King Ghidorah.”
This moment, in particular, caught Ernest’s attention when he was watching a trailer of the famous movie. “I thought it was hilarious,” he said. “I tend to overthink the plot holes when I watch movies; hence, I tend to ruin movies for myself.”
“My friend Dan and I talked about [this shot] after coming out of the cinema, and I just thought about it as a joke, ‘there could be a lot of underwater possibilities if you think about it.’ I know, it’s just a movie, and I shouldn’t take it seriously, but I just wanted to share my thoughts.”
Ernest drew the illustrations the same night he came back home after the movie.
So far, critics haven’t been kind to the movie. It has only 39% on Rotten Tomatoes with critics saying that “Godzilla: King of the Monsters delivers spectacular kaiju action — and reaffirms that cutting-edge effects are still no substitute for a good story.”
The Guardian wasn’t feeling the movie at all. It gave Godzilla: King of the Monsters just one star out of five, saying that it’s beastly in all the wrong ways. “The tussle for power between giant monsters and humans is a timeless theme tackled by the likes of Transformers, Jurassic Park, and Pacific Rim franchises with varying degrees of success. The problem with Hollywood’s latest take, Michael Dougherty’s reimagining of the Japanese studio Toho’s famous kaiju series, is not its predictability, but its utter gracelessness.”
“The ugly visual effects are outdone only by the sound design, which is relentlessly loud and thunderingly tedious,” the review said. “Verbal exchanges between the humans are devoid of wit and barely functional in communicating the story.”
After Ernest shared his illustrations, others joined in the fun as well
Here’s what people had to say
Sorry, i made a typo, that should be the i should don't have said this bad thing to you
Load More Replies...Supporting the whole team by one arm while the other working out *flex* 😂
Load More Replies...lol i died when i saw the friendly whale!.. the best!
Load More Replies...anybody with kids would understand - and also, why Godzilla was so angry
Load More Replies...Oh come on people, the most reasonable explanation is Godzilla Is wearing a bungee harness and being held aloft by Godzooky who is flying above, out of frame.
To the person that said lighthouse: That's not a light house. That's a submarine. I think that he is utilizing the power of not thinking this scene all the way through to become more buyant than water but less buoyant than air.
Excuse me for using logic...this scene was obviously close to shore.....Anyone can wade close to shore...LOL
Hush you. Put your logic away and just have fun with it.
Load More Replies...Works the other way around as well.In the first Godzilla film he was able to swim fully submerged (with still a lot of water above and below him) in New York without any part of him being visible on the surface.
Yeah, that's how water works. Once you go under more than a few feet you can't be seen. This is why so many ships run aground.
Load More Replies...My kind of movie watcher! It's much more fun this way. Movies are usually boring anyway.
I lost it when that one person said that maybe he stepped on a lego XD
Godzilla = Jesus Christ? OMG I just imagined a crucified Godzilla--
I'm going to get "safety guy" nerdy by saying that if it was the forklift, everyone including Godzilla is in trouble. You NEVER leave a forklift unattended while a load is elevated AND you NEVER use a forklift to lift a person (or kaiju) without the proper protection (cage or man[kaiju]basket)...I'll shut up now.
The friendly whale made me laugh the most with it's smile. I thought the movie was good. Critics get paid to complain. I'd imagine if Godzilla was real and you were standing near it when it roared, your head would explode. So o erly loud and tediously thundering is right.
Godzilla is amphibious .... Or maybe he has an air bladder that makes him buoyant ... Love Zilla though....
He’s kicking his legs like synchronized swimmers do. He just forgot his nose plugs and decorative hair cap.
Might be in the shallows; Ohio class submarine operational practise is to surface only near or at their base. So it’ implies shallow water.
While the illustrations are quite funny, ik think the negative reviews make the article a bit, ahem, negative
he is new hamone so he can ability to walk on water and not do anything else with it
Godzilla, the legend! I reckon either super farts or super flotation bladders hidden somewhere:)
I think he was treading water. This was a fun over the top movie only for people who wants to see these classic monsters fight one another. It's definitely not one to be taken seriously of course. Critics needs to relax and enjoy the monster mash!
Bruhhhhh he's standing like 500 ft off shore, the water is probably 100 feet deep 😂
I'm too emotional i should don't say something too malicious sorry
Load More Replies...It's an artist, so to sum up, it's kinda : f**k science.
Load More Replies...With all the documentaries out I think he’s real
