I still don't get why people are so obsessed with the multi-legged monster. It's a monster with multiple legs. Wow. There's no need to bring back the character or "recycle the design," because there's no character or full design to begin with. I highly doubt that when Legendary or Toho want to create a new monster, they'll think "Hey, what about that dead tardigrade thing from the Comic-Con trailer?" I highly doubt that they would be that lazy, or care that much about a throwaway one-shot monster.

Really, there's nothing all that unique or imaginative about it. Legendary just needed to show that Godzilla would be fighting another monster, and the M.U.T.O.s weren't designed yet, so they basically just put a giant dead tardigrade in the trailer, then forgot about it. For some reason, the fanbase has decided that "Vishnu" is the next Bagan, which is really starting to irritate me. At least Bagan had a loose backstory and some established powers, "Vishnu" was just a corpse that is only partially seen. I get that there's some sort of mysterious quality about him, but come on people. He's just a giant tardigrade, and he serves no purpose aside from being a placeholder. Just move on. He's not being brought back in a film, and he's not getting his design recycled.

If a multi-legged monster does appear in a future film, I guarantee everyone will be saying "It's Visnhu! They brought him back!" even if it looks nothing like him and has nothing to do with him. Sorry for the rant, but years of this "Vishnu" nonsense have really gotten on my nerves.
