Though the character started off in its own stand-alone film, Rodan was later featured in the Godzilla franchise. IGN listed Rodan as #6 on their "Top 10 Japanese Movie Monsters" list,[2] while Complex listed the character as #15 on its "The 15 Most Badass Kaiju Monsters of All Time" list.Name The Japanese name Radon is a contraction of Pteranodon.It was changed to Rodan for English-speaking markets in order to avoid confusion with the element radon.[4] However, in Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II, the English version of the film used the original name Radon.Development As with Godzilla, writer Ken Kuronuma turned to prehistoric animals for inspiration in developing the character, though unlike the former, whose species is largely left ambiguous, Rodan is explicitly stated to be a kind of Pteranodon.[4] Just as Godzilla was conceived as a symbol of an American nuclear threat, Rodan was seen as an embodiment of the same danger originating from the Soviet Union.[5]Rodan's debut appearance was the first and only time that the character was given a chestnut color. It originally had a menacing face with a jagged, toothed beak, which would disappear in later incarnations as the character became more heroic. Rodan was portrayed via a combination of suitmation and wire-operated puppets for flight sequences. During suitmation sequences, Rodan was portrayed by Haruo Nakajima, who almost drowned when the wires holding the 150 lb. suit above a water tank snapped.[4] In Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, the Rodan suit was of visibly lesser quality than the previous one, having a more comical face, a thick neck which barely concealed the shape of the performer's head within and triangular wings.[6] The modification of the character's face was deliberate, as Rodan was meant to be a slapstick character rather than the tragic villain seen in its film debut.[7] A new suit was constructed for Invasion of Astro-Monster which more closely resembled the first, having more rounded wings and a sleeker face. The sleek face was retained in Destroy All Monsters, though the wings and chest area were crudely designed.[6]Rodan was revived in 1993's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, this time portrayed entirely via a wire-manipulated marionette[8] and hand puppets. Having received criticism for his emphasis on battle sequences relying heavily on beam weapons, special effects artist Koichi Kawakita sought to make the confrontation between Godzilla and Rodan as physical as possible.HG 1956 Rodan HG GODZILLA CHRONICLE SERIES 3 GODZILLA CHRONICLE 3 FIGURE GODZILLA CHRONICLE 3 Rodan Godzilla Chronicle 3 1956 Rodan GODZILLA CHRONICLE 3 Rodan GODZILLA CHRONICLE 3 1956 Rodan GODZILLA Rodan GODZILLA CAPSULE Rodan Rodan MINI FIGURE 1956 Rodan MINI FIGURE HG GODZILLA CHRONICLE 3 HG GODZILLA CHRONICLES 3 HG GODZILLA CHRONICLE 3 Rodan HG GODZILLA CHRONICLE 3 1956 Rodan HG GODZILLA CHRONICLE 3 Rodan HG GODZILLA CHRONICLE 3 1956 Rodan HG GODZILLA CHRONICLES 3 Rodan HG GODZILLA CHRONICLES 3 1956 Rodan GASHAPON Rodan GASHAPON 1956 Rodan HG GASHAPON Rodan HG GASHAPON 1956 Rodan BANDAI Gashapon HG 1956 Rodan Mini Figure Godzilla Chronicle Series 3 BANDAI GASHAPON HG Rodan MINI FIGURE GODZILLA CHRONCILE SERIES 3 GODZILLA PART 3 Rodan GODZILLA PART 3 1956 Rodan GODZILLA GASHAPON Rodan 1956 Rodan GODZILLA CHRONICLE 3 rodan GODZILLA CHRONICLE 3 1956 Rodan BANDAI MINI Rodan BANDAI MINI 1956 Rodan GODZILLA CHRONICLE 3 Rodan GODZILLA CHRONICLE 3 1956 Rodan read more
