Wish they’d do an omnibus or some reprints of Gamera’s manga outings, many were never reprinted and were survived by scans
Obviously, I doubt that, if we even get it, it will arrive anytime soon; it took quite a while for Goji and Ultra to get a second DLC, and they’re icons of the genre.
Was browsing online and found it. Not sure if it’s a Bandai or something else.
Yeah, that's what the post is about. I LOVE Zedus and his design- he's my favourite Gamera kaiju.
The fucker's powerset is cool as hell too. I'm a big sucker for reptilian monsters with a long weaponized tongue. It's PEAK! He reminds of Godzilla 1998, but he's honestly an upgraded version of that, if ya know what I mean. Love em.
Lynn, MA (USA) mural on side of building. Probably not related to Gamera, but it’s a neat looking cosmic turtle nonetheless 🙂
His name is Tampus (derived from the Latin word *tempus*, meaning "time"). He is essentially a divine predator that engaged in cannibalism against other divine beings—an act that left him deformed—thereby gaining the power to perceive time, though he was punished by being imprisoned in a temple "forever." Morphologically, he resembles a terrestrial crocodile but possesses a deformed head and five eyes capable of seeing the past, present, and future; furthermore, he can unleash psychic attacks and use telekinesis. He was held captive in a temple in the Pacific Ocean but managed to escape following an earthquake. Gamera and Tampus encounter each other on an island, where Tampus manages to gain the upper hand; they clash, but thanks to his abilities, Tampus counters Gamera, causing her to lose her memory and become unable to fight, all while the island is destroyed during the battle. Tampus departs and arrives at another inhabited island, attempting to devour the locals, but Gamera manages to regain her memories with the help of humans and reappears for a rematch. The fight begins at an airfield and ends in the ocean, with Tampus being killed and torn in half; this occurred because Gamera, in cooperation with the humans, employed multiple strategies simultaneously, causing Tampus's ability to foresee the future to fail momentarily.
I think it’d be amazing, size him up give him a good design and make him as caring as possible. One or two movies fighting some of the classic villains such as the Gyaos. And a really amazing film would be Godzilla vs Gamera, it could be brilliant. But what do you think? Could Gamera work in the monster verse?
Rebirth season 2? Continuation of heisei movies? Are there any news that we may be getting new stuff, or is it just nothing..
I'm in no way saying they're equal in quality. Gamera 3 is the way better movie, but they do share similarities.
● Taking popular elements at the time, in case of G3, it was the J-Horror.
● Setting multiple plot points probably for the sequel (Mana, the Gamera Graveyard)
● There is a girl and her cute pet friend.
● Having the title character to not appear as much as you think.
● Having a crazy man that exposes the lore and also kidnaps a protagonist to his house.
● Having returning characters from the first one.
● The crazy man's death is kinda funny.
● The military is antagonistically to the title character until at the end they change.
● The important main title character is treated antagonistically by some characters and the general public.
● Stuff happening in the background (Gyaos Swarm/Unicron)
● Ends on a very open-ending.
