Why does Godzilla's head keep getting smaller (in relation to his body) in every new movie?

I've wondered that myself! It must somehow be seen as cool, but I'm at a loss for how.

Ever since they started bulking him up, his head keeps getting smaller. It looks so weird.

I think its actually lore related, since titans keep growing. 2014 Godzilla is much smaller than 2024 Godzilla, so I guess that's why his body has changed.

Okay, but isn't his head a part of his body? Shouldn't it also keep growing proportionately?

A bit OT but have you seen "Three Thousand Years of Longing" and if so, what was your impression?

Does anybody know why Julian Dennison (Josh Valentine) wasn't in this?

I have not but, just checking out its page here on TMDb, it looks like another entrant of the "magical negro" trope (see articles on Wikipedia and/or TVTropes).

Assuming you've seen it, what was your impression?

I'm a HUGE Idris Elba fan but I'm not a fan of Swinton, so I was a bit reluctant about watching it. But I enjoyed it (for the most part), although I think I'll watch it again (to catch things I didn't see the first time). It's visually stunning. The film was adapted from an A. S. Byatt short story, "The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye".

I read the Wiki article & personally, I don't think it applies here. He's a djinn so some magic is involved but NOT in the way the 'trope' suggests.

The thing here is convenience. How much convenient is for Godzilla's head to grow up? His arms grew and I think his legs too, which improves his movement a lot, and you can see that in the movie, especially in the third act. Titans grow in order to be stronger, and a bigger head might be a weakness in the future, who knows.

Also, I'm Spanish, so if you see any writing mistakes, that's why hehe.

I haven't, what's the plot?

I was directing the question to DRDmovieMusings but I'll leave the link to the movie.

I've got a list for movies I think are visually stunning called Eye Candy — should I add this one...?!

Yes, if you are referring to 'Three Thousand Years of Longing'.

Definitely if you're going purely on "eye candy", though I was a bit disappointed in the movie.

I wish I had more time to suggest other additions, but I can't believe "Blade Runner" and "Inception" aren't on there. Though here's a couple more:

• The Promise (watch the trailer)
• Emerald City Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WgvCprJLkw ...or pretty much anything from Tarsem Singh apart from "Self/Less" and, from what I've seen, "Dear Jassi" - particulary The Fall

Thanks for these suggestions @M.LeMarchand — they help remind me that "beauty" is subjective, and my particular sense of aesthetic is not universal (although it is shared by those directors who did capture what captured my eyes).

Blade Runner seems too...I dunno, dark, gritty, edgy, to a degree that any aesthetic is hard to see. It's not pleasant to look at, to me.

Inception is just too convoluted a movie for me. I didn't start this thread "Hard to Watch", but I did admit there that my not "getting" this movie that so many people love makes me feel stupid!

Emerald City and The Promise both look interesting but, when you compare against the entrants on my list, you can get a feel for why these are less likely to eventually make it.

The Fall does indeed look gorgeous!

Perhaps everyone should start an eye candy list to showcase those movies that are beautiful to them, and then we can all compare notes and learn from each other!
