Product Information

Water is now more acidic. Oh yes, the red tide. We eat less and less of seashells because in some parts of the sea, the molluscs are poisonous. My wife now always asks the market vendor where the shells came from before buying them. That was approximately in the mid-eighties. Few years after the AIDS spread around the world. It was also the time when my handsome brother was egging us, his 3 siblings, to pray the Holy Rosary every day. Now and even then, he has a strong influence on me, so I got into the habit. Then the 7.9 Cabanatuan earthquake hit the Philippines in 1990. The year after Mt. Pinatubo erupted spewing ash in almost half of the globe. Then just after few months, the deadliest typhoon, Uring hit the country killing 8,000 Filipinos. Somewhere along the way, I stopped praying, I thought it was not working. Try gardening. One of the most interesting parts of Eaarth explains how Brits produced food by turning a lot of urban areas into little gardens. In the Planet of the Monsters novelization, Metphies revealed that "Godzillas are rather ubiquitous beings on a universal scale" than being unique organisms on Earth, and would be devoured by their deity. Metphies noted that it was a common fate for advanced civilizations to meet their ends by Godzilla, and the Exif have seen such cases on "countless other planets". On the other hand, his head was designed to be not carnivorous in appearance, this included an integration of his teeth with its jaws, along with a rather calm expression. The head was designed to be considerably small in size compared to his body.

The EMP harpoon was a weapon akin to the EMP probe. It was utilized against Earth during City on the Edge of Battle's climax, and was able to push Godzilla into an immobile state. While they were effective for a brief time, they were melted through intense heat, and in spite of overloading Godzilla, failed to detonate and kill him, as Godzilla turned the electromagnetic energy into pure heat. Update: this book only offers part of the first step (urgency of the issue), but it does not clearly diagnose the issue. To paraphrase Vijay Prashad, the issue is not "climate change", as if the climate decided to change; the issue is Capitalist climate destruction, the system that puts profit over people and environment. Read Wendell Berry's What are People For? or The Gift of Good Land. Berry gets the last word, below.However, despite being presented as highly aggressive, Godzilla became extremely mellow and passive once most of humanity as an advanced civilization was wiped out, and most monster threats were ended. In addition, he did not go after the egg of the Houtua's god, nor the Houtua themselves, implying that humanoids and certain monsters could co-exist just fine with Godzilla, provided they didn't harm him or the planet.

The basic concept of the design was inspired from large trees, especially sacred trees in Shintoism. Additionally, it was aimed to be a realization of imaginary creatures like dragons, not to emphasize biological reality, but instead aiming for surreal aesthetics. [4] The concept for Godzilla being able to change ecosystems and environments completely is akin to works by the same scriptwriter of this film such as Kamen Rider Gaim and Saya no Uta. During City on the Edge of Battle, Mulu-Elu Galu-Gu, along with Haruo devised a plan which turned the city into a deathtrap for Godzilla. This involved luring him down a set path, and then trapping him in solidified nanometal, while letting the city's railguns, and EMP harpoons cause massive damage. However, they were completely ineffective against Godzilla when he began to heat up and regenerate.

Kamoebas IV's corpse was found on Odo Island on May 29, 2030, and this was the first cross between humanity and Godzilla. Kyohei Yamane, a professor of Strategic Biology named the monster Gojira after 呉爾羅, legendary dragon god of the island. Much like the MUTOs from Godzilla, this incarnation of Godzilla is able to generate and discharge an EMP when shooting his iconic beam. This ability was passed onto the Servum. Godzilla's EMP is strong enough to destroy any normal electronics including cars and shelters instantly, and even specialized electronics for military usages will stop functioning at close range. Bilusaludos later provided technology to improve anti-EMP functions for humanity. Does all of this sound tired and naïve? Yeah? Heard it all before? Yes, I have, too, and for decades of reading and activism. But it's all we have, I think. Do I think Big Biz or Government will change in any fundamental way? No. So we must act locally. Or what’s your alternative? Maybe reading Solnit will help. {update; I see some small signs about ending deforestation many countries seem to be signing on to in Glasgow. And making some small moves to reduce carbon emissions. But to sign a piece of paper and actually do something are two different things. Talk is cheap. Politicians's talk is cheaper.] The tendency to invent as needed in humans, the best of the communal human spirit. The demand for the better, simpler life among many on the planet. That we still have these good tendencies is many is hopeful.This Godzilla lay, unmoving, on his stomach long enough for the natural landscape to grow around and over his quiescent body, making him appear to be part of the local terrain for the majority of Planet of the Monsters. It was only after the death of Godzilla Filius in the final minutes of the film that Godzilla Earth stood up, revealing himself. Haruo's vehicle ended up being damaged before he could put any major effort into distracting the beast, and he ended up being incapacitated under rubble, before attempting to vow to kill the monster as he passed out, with Godzilla Earth returning to a slumbering state, shortly after. Godzilla was able to use his tail as a whip-like weapon, and had enough strength to destroy parts of Mechagodzilla City's diversionary lane, resulting in large pieces of shrapnel destroying buildings nearby.
