Talk:Gigan/@comment-10483109-20150915034214

I just had some horrifying clarity: Gigan is just a penguin Kaiju. Or at least, that's what it certainly looks like. 'Scythe appendages' quickly translate to flippers. His beak is like a penguin's beak. He walks like a penguin. He's a robo penguin cyborg Kaiju.

Even though I've always viewed him as useless, I adore Gigan. He's weak (even in the fighting games, he's underpowered), but... I can't help but love him. He's ridiculous. He has a chain-saw for a belly. How can you not love that? Imagine him sliding down a snowy hill like a penguin would, leaving behind a trail of destruction and chain saw marks. His feet make him look like a jolly elf with pointy shoes.

Mecha-Gigan looks cool as well, so that's just a bonus. I mean, regular Gigan looks sorta silly, but Mecha-Gigan just looks awesome. Even though, in the end, he's still a silly Kaiju. And really, in the end, that's all I ask for when it comes to Kaijus. Coolness and silliness.
