One of the special features included in the home video release, "Godzilla 2.0", reveals that the sequel actually made a few subtle changes to Godzilla's look. Apparently, Godzilla's size, which went from 108 meters to 119.8 meters in five years, isn't the only that King of the Monsters changed. Director Michael Dougherty revealed that one of the biggest changes is Godzilla's back spikes, which he tweaked to make them resemble the original 1954 Godzilla. According to Dougherty, Godzilla's original, longer back spikes looked like something that "nature could have crafted". In addition to the new spikes, Godzilla also received longer claws on his hands and feet since the monster is of course a predator. These make him even more dangerous in close combat, especially when he's grabbing King Ghidorah by one of his three necks. Doughterty's version of Godzilla doesn't change much from the previous movie. It keeps the spirit of the monsters from Edwards' film while also finding a way to honor the 1954 monster. Also, as Dougherty points out in "Godzilla 2.0", it's not unusual at all for Godzilla's look to change from movie to movie, even when the franchise isn't being rebooted. It's standard practice for a filmmaker to put their own stamp on Godzilla, and in this case, Dougherty's biggest contribution is Godzilla's back spikes. This means that some of Godzilla's features could be updated again when Godzilla, who has now regained his crown as the King of the Monsters, goes up against the King of Skull Island in Adam Wingard's Godzilla vs. Kong (2020). ", It also goes into the thought process behind creating Godzilla's burning form. The featurette reveals several early designs for his fiery new look. Some of these images had Godzilla with significantly less lines all over his body, and others toyed with changing the color from red to blue. One in particular saw Godzilla covered in blue lines, from head to tail. If this was the chosen design, Godzilla would have had glowing blue energy bursting from his veins, mouth, and eyes. The reason why this design was rejected is never specified. This look would have been drastically different from the one that made it into the final film, which at least resembles Godzilla's original burning form in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, where his body was covered in red patches. The same cannot be said for the blue version. It's worth noting that while Godzilla's blue form may not have been as visually spectacular as the red version, it still would have made sense, considering that Godzilla's atomic breath is already blue. What happened to Godzilla would have looked less like a transformation, and more like a power-up in that case.
