History Fanfic / KaijuRevolution

*** FATHOM’s exploration of Skull Island is essentially just Film/KongSkullIsland but with the Vagnosaurus in place of the skullcrawlers and the added motive of finding Carl Denham’s film reels. Speaking of which, Carl Denham and his crew are the first to discover Skull Island and only a sailor and a film actress (clearly Jack Driscoll and Anne Darrow) survive the trip, referencing Film/KingKong1933, and Denham’s son is named Vincent Denham just like in the Kong: King of Skull Island novel.

*** Godzilla’s backstory combines Film/Godzilla1954 (Godzilla is mentioned obliterating Odo Island and leaving Tokyo in a “sea of fire”), Film/Godzilla2014 (the Castle Bravo tests were really an attempt to kill Godzilla and he first attacks Japan in 2014), Film/ShinGodzilla (Godzilla changes forms through-out his attacks and attacks Tokyo again in 2016) and Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla (the Shockirus are mentioned as parasitising Godzilla and humanity attempts to dispose of him via bombing a volcano so he would fall in). As a bonus, all of these films are also the first movies for each of their respective eras.

* The Rodan female is named Radon after one of the titles made for the American release of Film/{{Rodan}}.
* A large number of the Kaiju’s stories in their entries are based on the films they appeared in:
** Godzilla’s backstory combines Film/Godzilla1954 (Godzilla is mentioned obliterating Odo Island and leaving Tokyo in a “sea of fire”), Film/Godzilla2014 (the Castle Bravo tests were really an attempt to kill Godzilla and he first attacks Japan in 2014), Film/ShinGodzilla (Godzilla changes forms through-out his attacks and attacks Tokyo again in 2016) and Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla (the Shockirus are mentioned as parasitising Godzilla and humanity attempts to dispose of him via bombing a volcano so he would fall in). As a bonus, all of these films are also the first movies for each of their respective eras.
** Just like in his original film, Rodan has a mate, is found alongside the Meganulon and he and his mate make a nest atop a volcano before being bombed and thus tumbling into the Earth. Radon is also initially found on Isla de Mona, Rodan’s location on the MONARCH Sciences tie-in website for Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019.
** Anguirus being an old enemy of Godzilla who fights him in Osaka is akin to his original role in Film/GodzillaRaidsAgain. His battle with Godzilla in Honolulu may be a reference to Film/Godzilla2014 and Anguirus regenerating just from his tail, which burrowed into the ground after a battle, could be a reference to King Ghidorah’s defeat in the Cretaceous and eventual return in Film/RebirthOfMothra3.
** Mothra resides in the Temple of the Moth in China like in Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019, and was initially discovered in 1961 surrounded by vampire plants just like in Film/Mothra. The Shobijin being derived from humans living in isolation with Mothra is a reference to the Houtua from Anime/GodzillaCityOnTheEdgeOfBattle.

** The story in [[spoiler:King Ghidorah’s]] entry is heavily based on [[spoiler: Film/GhidorahTheThreeHeadedMonster, with too many references to that to say, but also references Film/RebirthOfMothra3 again (via Ghidorah being defeated in the Cretaceous by Mothra’s species and also being responsible for the KT extinction) and Film/DestroyAllMonsters, due to Ghidorah being a malevolent alien force who makes the world’s Kaiju attack various locations across the planet via mind control]]
** The current story arc is shaping up to be mostly a remake of [[spoiler: Film/InvasionOfAstroMonster]].
* There also references to past films and other media where certain Kaiju debuted in the rogues gallery’s entries:
** Zilla and Komodithrax’s friendship is a reference to their romance in WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries. Zilla is also mentioned as sinking a Japanese vessel off the coast of French Polynesia in 1998 and attacking New York City when Mu awoke, referencing his debut, as well as being initially mistaken for Godzilla like in Comic/GodzillaRulersOfEarth.
** The Yongary feed off of oil and gasoline, referencing Yongary’s original film Film/YongaryMonsterFromTheDeep. It’s also heavily implied that a Yongary burrowed beneath South Korea in 1967, referencing both the initial film’s year of release and Yongary’s country of origin.
** The intro to Ogra and Gorgo’s profile is one big reference to Film/Gorgo, as it takes place in the film’s year of release (1961), mentions dead mutant fish which were seen in the original Gorgo (a particularly ugly specimen, maybe one of the fish or just another unfortunate creature, is taken to a carnival, which is what happened to Gorgo in the original film too) and focuses on a volcanic eruption on Nara Island, upon which Ogra is worshipped as a protector deity just as in the film. Ogra is also mentioned as rampaging through London like in the film too in the actual story section.

* MythologyGag: The Rodan female is named Radon after one of the titles made for the American release of Film/{{Rodan}}.

* DeathWorld: Skull Island has large deposits of radioactive minerals on it [[ILoveNuclearPower which allows]] for a large population of kaijuform prehistoric species and even many of the (comparatively) smaller creatures can be pretty nasty.

* {{Morlocks}}: They are descended from members of the ancient human civilization who went into space and formed an artificial planetoid around Jupiter. They live in an highly utilitarian insect-like FantasticCasteSystem: the males serve as workers and soldiers are are animalistic beast who's intelligence is on par with chimpanzees with some individuals getting cybernetic augmentations to better specialize them. The females have most of their organs removed and become blind, immobile [[BabyFactory Baby Factories]]. Finally, there are the Controllers who claim to be the original founders of the Morlocks, they are able to extend their lifespans through various means (but this leaves some looking more inhuman) and consists of both males and females, they are also able to use telepathy to control the lesser castes.

* CompositeCharacter: Godzilla's general body shape is reminiscent of the Monsterverse incarnation but the shape of his head and snout invokes the [[Anime/GodzillaPlanetOfTheMonsters anime version]] while his long tail, [[https://www.deviantart.com/transapient/art/KR-Godzilla-Sketches-798801945 nictitating membranes and splitting lower jaw]] are from Film/ShinGodzilla. Other Kaiju have been conflated with each other in order to flesh each other out (IE Jirass with the Jurassic Park Dilophosaurus, the Vastatosaurus rex with the Deviljho, the Sirenjaw with the Jurassic Park 3 Spinosaurus ETC ETC).

* HumanSubspecies: The [[OurFairiesAreDifferent Shobijin]] and the [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent Seatopians]] are the result of humans spending thousands of years absorbing the DNA of the dormant Mothra and living on Mu respectively.

Set in a universe where kaiju have recently began to awaken and reek havoc, the story is provided by illustrations of each kaiju along with their abilities and bios with the story spanning the course of several years and takes inspiration from various parts of the Franchise/{{Godzilla}} franchise, most predominantly the Film/MonsterVerse. NeedsWikiMagicLove.

* {{Planimal}}: Biollante is an ancient being containing DNA from many plants and animals, in fact it's theorized that she may be some kind of genetic library for all life on earth. Some of the creatures from the Skull Island Menageries (most notably the [[Literature/TheDayOfTriffids triffids]])

* GentleGiant: Mothra, her larvae and Titanosaurus are fairly peaceful for kaiju while Baragon and Anguirus are [[DownplayedTrope downplayed examples]] as their aggression is listes as medium and they typically won't seek out conflict but are very violent if provoked. Some of the large herbivorus creatures of skull island also qualify.

* HumanSubspecies: The [[OurFairiesAreDifferent Shobijin]] and the [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent Seatopians]] are the result of humans spending thousands of years around the dormant Mothra and living on Mu respectively.
