Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet

Product Information

The 2017 design of Godzilla follows in the footsteps of his 2016 predecessor by incorporating elements of past designs within its own, in this case, that of the 2014 Godzilla incarnation. 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.

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. This Godzilla also looks like he has exposed musculature over his entire body in a manner similar to the 2016 Godzilla. However, this Godzilla deviates from looking like pure muscle, and instead bears more of a likeness towards the roots of plants, with moss-like details being prevalent on his feet as well. Oddly enough, this Godzilla's foot design is biologically similar to that of a human's: featuring a similar arch between the toe and heel (or calx pads) as well as a similar toe arrangement. The leg design is overall similar to that of the Heisei era Godzilla: featuring a simple thigh and shin build, over being digitigrade. The torso resembles that of the GMK Godzilla, along with some of the 2014 Godzilla incarnation’s characteristics. It should be noted that this only denotes a change in aesthetic, over a new, notable form in the vein of Fire Rodan (ファイヤーラドン , Faiyā Radon ?), and Godzilla is shown shifting between it and his more normal form during City on the Edge of Battle and The Planet Eater.

Mothra's scales were once able to deflect Godzilla's beam in a manner similar to the late Ghidorah. What I have to say about this book is very simple: Read it, please. Straight through to the end. Whatever else you were planning to do next, nothing could be more important."

He would then be seen simply standing in the burning crater with the now molten nanometal pool, roaring into the night. Read Wendell Berry's What are People For? or The Gift of Good Land. Berry gets the last word, below. His skin was inspired by gregarious moss plants on a surface, and his dorsal plates were designed on the basis of leaves from holly trees and included vein-like lines. A collective change in energy use faces the hegemony of individualist monopolies hellbent on preserving current methods of profit. Capitalism is impressive in its failure to deal with the ultimate "externality", the environment. (Well, the other major externality is poor people, but Capitalist myths can distract sheeple with some human nature/ahistorical garble, and oh look, the new iPhone!). One solution is surprisingly obvious... Mechagodzilla City was essentially a city-wide anti-Godzilla weapon based on the original Mechagodzilla, featuring multiple large buildings that had the ability to be armed and armored.The name "Godzilla" is a transliteration of Gojira (ゴジラ ?), a combination of two Japanese words: gorira (ゴリラ ?), meaning "gorilla", and kujira (鯨 or クジラ), meaning "whale". The trio, using their Vultures would attempt a divebomb against Godzilla, trying to push him into utilizing an atomic breath blast to fully overload him and kill him. The heat would prevent this, however, and an alternative was planned, with the three Vultures intending to be used as impromptu spears through the use of speed and momentum. About midway through reading this book, I had this weird feeling that I was reading a science fiction/ horror book. It reminded me of post-apocalyptic fiction in which an old text from right before the apocalypse is found and read by those living in the future. In the old text, the author is discussing a monster looming on the horizon which is almost completely ignored by everyone until the monster is upon them. That pretty much sums up what's happening to our planet now and only a few of us are paying attention. And it's not science fiction. Later, an increasing number of missing vessels were reported, including a nuclear submarine of the US Army. Frequent occurrences of unidentified underwater eruption-like phenomenon were reported, reports of "horizontal lighting" and "mysterious lights" gradually moving east and approaching the continent of North America were spoken of, and reports of corpses of monsters had been recorded in the Pacific Ocean. Vessels reporting the above-mentioned reports also disappeared.

The concept of this incarnation of Godzilla originating from plant-based organisms, is remarkably similar to the origin of Biollante who, coincidentally, possesses genetic ties to Godzilla. 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. I read "The End of Nature" for a college class 14 years ago, so it's a little fuzzy in my mind. From what I remember, it was pretty unsettling. It introduced me to a new way of thinking about the natural world, to the concept that humans have, indeed, touched or altered every square inch of the planet's surface. Don’t elect Trump, a climate change denier that vows to reverse all moves Obama has made and resurrect Big Coal. That would be bad news for the planet. Trump just made a joke of himself trashing the Paris Accord as Bad for Business, of course. Trump, who with Rush and Fox News are hung on to as the anti-scientific hope of the day for the Right. Clean energy we now know is good for business. Big Oil has been lying to us for decades. The Emperor has no clothes. The monster appeared 8 times during a period of two years on a global scale, and total casualties were estimated to be more than 300 million. Humanity had to abandon all over the east coast of North America, northern parts of Africa, and half of the Eurasian continent.Godzilla is capable of absorbing electromagnetic waves, rendering detection by sonar useless against him. 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. Then there was this other conflicting thought. As a result of the global warming, the temperature will become cooler because of the cooling effect of the moisture in the atmosphere. Wow. Squared. So, the heat in the tropics will go away? Will we have snow? That’s cool! Eventually, Godzilla would reach the end of the line, where nanometal was dumped into now the closed off pool Earth stood in. The pooling nanometal then hardened, completely immobilizing Godzilla. Massive amounts of firepower would be unleashed on the titan, from the Vultures, and the city, destroying his dorsal plates, and leaving him shieldless, before two EMP harpoons would be shot at Godzilla, skewering him.

Godzilla Earth's appearance at the end of Planet of the Monsters bears a striking visual resemblance to that of Godzilla's rise out of the beach in 1964's Mothra vs. Godzilla.Much like the Servum, Godzilla's body tissue is integrated with metallic muscle fibers, which not only serve to channel his EMPs, but to also support his massive weight in the absence of a skeletal system. I cannot remember exactly when I heard about global warming for the first time. I’m sure it was not in school since I was already a college graduate at that time. I was not a voracious reader then and all I was dreaming about was how to land a good job and convince my father to let me get married as I could already support my own family. This Godzilla, much like the ones from the 2014 film, Godzilla and the 2016 film, Shin Godzilla, features a new, revamped origin; originating from plant-based lifeforms, he is said to be the "end result of natural selection on Earth", and has gone on to live and dominate the planet for 20,000 years. [6] Being scared is not an effective emotion for me and much of what this book did was paralyze me. Made me question why I do ANYTHING environmental if the earth as we know it is dying anyway. Guilt rather than gratefulness began to reside in me.
