Is There Any Characters U Based The 4 Mcs Off (ren, Ichi, Ni, And San)
is there any characters u based the 4 mcs off (ren, ichi, ni, and san)
yesyes! theres a lot so let me list them đ
starting off strong w renâŠ
the first inspiration behind ren (despite being a competent character in the novelization, he did have a lot of gaps that needed to be filled in) isnât the real mark zuckerbergâ rather jesse eisenbergâs portrayal in âthe social networking,â both are condescending geniuses who are socially distant (though in rens case its by choice, in marks choice its not)
additionally, just as mark screwed over eduardo in the movie (and presumably real life) ren was planning on screwing over walter simmons the moment he was no longer useful.
the most important similarity is both thrive on being the smartest person in the room AND being painfully aware of it, silently resenting those who they deem as less intelligent.
thatâs where rens similarities with mark end, as heâs not a hideous bigot, mechagodzilla was renâs idea whereas mark is portrayed as a thief who steals concepts, rens motivations are deeply personal while marks are for people to like him, and lastly, marks social climb is about status, rens is about control and a vendetta.
the second inspiration behind ren is chris manawa from fear the walking dead, both had morally up-right, no-nonsense fathers who tried to do the right thing even if their sons had a different vision of what was right. (ishiro and travis, respectively.)
they both became disillusioned and villainous, drifting away from their fatherâs ethics by choice.. additionally, they had a similar radicalizationâ each dealt with the death of their mother in isolation with little to no support.
however, the descent of chris is a common trope in twduâ survival, desensitization, and seeing the new world as a ruleless land where they can do whatever they want, renâs descent is driven by vengeance, ambition, childhood frustrations, and a god complex.
ren is also more calculated and wouldnât be foolish enough to meet the fate chris did.
as some of you may know, one of the main inspirations behind ghidorahs voice was smile 2, and a lot of the events in the early chapters of ghidorahs voice mirror smile 2.
for example, both ren and skye suffer hallucinations after a traumatic eventâ skye after the drug-induced crash, ren after the mechagodzilla electrocution.
the mirror scene where skye hallucinating louis (luis?) in the mirror is a direct parallel to ren hallucinating ishiro in chapter 3.
ghidorah parallels the smile entity, theyâre both persistent, supernatural forces that feed on trauma and slowly erodes the mind. however, in ghidorahs case, he doesnât kill ren, he molds ren into controller x by cutting off all of rens options.
both ren and skye try to navigate public scrutiny while desperately trying to rationalize what theyâre seeingâ skye as a pop star, ren as an infamous nepo-baby who destroyed an entire city.
ren waking up from a coma and facing legal/ethical battles echoes skyeâs return from tragedy.
like skye dismissing morrisâ warnings, ren dismisses bernies warnings because he finds bernie annoying and has a deep âtheres a scientific explantation to EVERYTHINGâ value instilled in him.
on a more comedic note, the next one is ryan howard. walter simmons is rens michael scottâ a buffoonish, self-important boss ren both tolerates and despises depending on what walter could contribute in rens conquest to kill godzilla.
like ryan, ren is the âgolden boyâ who is expected to rise fast but they both harbor bitterness and ambition, not caring who they have to step on to reach their goals.
however, ryanâs downfall is due to incompetence and egoâ heâs lazy and self-sabotaging, ren is anything but lazy, rens downfall is more about flying too close to the sun, emotional instability and three headed alien forces.
in short, ryan is played for comedy, ren is steeped in tragic horror.
back to the tragic note, one of rens biggest inspirations was junior wheeler from chucky. (anyone who knew me in 2021 knew i was DEVASTATED when he kicked the bucket and was in straight denial for months) junior is manipulated by chucky, ren by ghidorahâ though not to the same extent, as ren is intelligent enough to see ghidorah is using him, but an enemy of his enemy is his friend.. however, this doesnât change how both are essentially possessed by malevolent forces praying on vulnerability.
both characters lashing out and transformations into killers are tied to emotional repression and manipulation.
additionally, from the dialogue to the context, ghidorah finally convincing ren his own humanity is whats holding him back is directly inspired by this scene
back to differences, juniors arc is short-lived and tragic, rens is longer and more strategic, involving tech, politics, and global stakes.
junior died as a teenager and didnât fully understand what he was doing, while rens frontal lobe is fully developed, and not only does ren embrace what hes doing, he even tries to justify it.
lastly for ren is the salesman from squid game, both are lapdogs to greater powers (the salesman to the frontman, ren to ghidorah.)
they both project confidence and control but are ultimately servants trying to feel special in a system they dont control.
both (at least after ren adopts the persona of x) have a certain aesthetic flair, masking their true insignificance.
as for ichi, his biggest inspiration is..
princess blister from wings of fire! both are the most cunning and manipulative of their respective trios, they act as the âbrainsâ of the operationâ always plotting several steps ahead, enjoying mind games and psychological warfare.
ichi and blister have a similar way of disguising their ruthlessness with eloquence, additionally, they both also donât give the facade much effortâ snapping the moment they get called out.
both were turned into dust đ
both are narcissistic, believing they are the rightful rulers and vastly superior to those around them.
naturally, since ichi is inspired by blister..
ni is inspired by princess burn! ni, like burn, enjoys cruelty for his own sakeâ not mindless brutality, but calculated, indulgent violence.
both ni and burn are often underestimated as âthe muscleâ and nothing else, but they show tactical awareness when it benefits them. just like burn using queen scarlet as a shield from glorys venom, ni is the kind of guy who would sacrifice anyone to gain an edge or survive.
the next for ni is nam-gyu from squid game (nam-gyu referring to other players as cockroaches was my direct inspo for ghidorah referring to humans as cockroaches), both are right hand figuresâ ni to ichi, nam-gyu to thanos, both act loyal but are really in it for their own gain and survival.
they both have a duality of superiority and inferiority complexesâ they feel like theyâre the most dangerous out of their respective groups, yet simmer with resentment at being second to someone else.
just like how nam-gyu only truly respects thanos, ni only respects ichiâ but even then, that respect is overshadowed by envy and loathing.
both revel in mocking those weaker than them, even more so if they sense emotional vulnerability.
for san, as i stated in chapter 20, his main inspiration is..
agatha harkness! san, like agatha, enjoys manipulating the emotions of others (ren and wanda respectively) under the guise of charisma or humor.
both are showboats, loving dramatic reveals, flashy speeches, and being the most memorable individual in the roomâ even if that means coming off as a nuisance and being hated.

ALAN GRANT IS COMING TO THE MONSTERVERSE
THIS IS NOT A DRILL I REPEAT NOT A DRILL
i cant wait for gxk3!!!!!
my visiting family finally left.. i love them but if i had to spend anymore time w them id probably die, once im done denying the sg3 leaks ill start drafting chapter 36 and hopefully be finished w ghidorahs voice by july so i could work on other projects revolving around ghidorah and ren as a duo :)
what would happen if controller x!ren met the og controller x from final wars
iâd say a match made in hell LMAO! this isnt entirely accurate to the canon controller x since i filled in some gaps w hcs, such as his familial backgroundâ i imagine the xiliens were like leafwings from wof w leafspeak, they would pair the stronger xiliens tg to create even stronger offspring.
Canon!Controller X: (Looking around the mothership in puzzlement, last he checked, he had felt the searing burn of his shipâs self destruct, he had died. yet, here he was, stepping into an unfamiliar world.) Did I get stuck in a time loop..?
Controller X!Ren: Whatever are you doing lingering, imbecile? Back to your post.
Canon!Controller X: (Sneers, wondering who the hell this guy thinks he is.) And who do you think you are, giving me orders?
Controller X!Ren: I am Controller X.
Canon!Controller X: (Momentarily silent, though soon bursts into a fit of giggles.) No, no. I am Controller X.
Controller X!Ren: (A flicker of annoyance passed through his expression, but he quickly showed himself to be Controller X in some semblance by displaying his ability to go from zero-to-one-hundred, his gaze darkened as he raised a gloved hand, fingers twitching through the air as if rewinding an invisible tape. A soft beep emitted from his visor as it projected a grainy, holographic imageâ Canon!Controller X in his final moments, cackling as he triggered the shipâs destruction.) Interesting, I presume you are me from another universe, Apex couldâve achieved this technology in fifty years maximum with my intellect.
Canon!Controller X: What the hell are you talking about? And what the hizzle is an Apex?
Controller X!Ren: (Tilts his head, this time with something resembling intrigue.. How could he not know?) Apex was the company we worked for in our human life, we were the chief technology officerâ a scientist, an engineer.. We piloted Gojiraâs superior.
Canon!Controller X: (Blinks beneath his own visor, then barking a sharp, incredulous laugh.) Scientist? Engineer? Cattle talk. I was born among the Xiliens, in outer space, you think my name is something cattle tongues could even pronounce?
Controller X!Ren: (In a quiet, measured, almost hesitant voice.) Then tell me, were you ever Ren Serizawa?
Canon!Controller X: (His smug demeanor cracked in the form of his mouth twitching.) Who the fuck is Ren Serizawa?
Controller X!Ren: (Smiles, though not kindly.) I was.. The world didnât want to understand Ren Serizawa, but King Ghidorah did. He opened my eyes, gave me purpose, helped me realized Ren Serizawa was a joke, hell, a tragedy. Humans want either a perfect victim or a perfect villain, you cannot be anywhere in-between or you will be disgracedâ cast away. (His fingers tap against the side of his visor.) So I became X.
Canon!Controller X: (Looks at his counterpart as if he was some grotesque curiosity, cattleâ he was once cattle.) You were.. One of them?
Controller X!Ren: For a time. You appear young, late teens, early twenties, perhaps? Tell meâ what was your family like?
Canon!Controller X: (Scoffs.) My parents were paired to create a Kaiser amongst the Xiliens, after several failed attempts with my siblings, they finally got it right with me.. And yours?
Controller X!Ren: My father was the director of Monarch, an organization meant to study and protect Titans. My mother was a florist who worked with Monarch for their eventsâ thatâs how they met.
Canon!Controller X: (Snorts.) And..?
Controller X!Ren: (Fingers twitch, a faint spark of golden energy stemming from them.) My father never really saw me, I suppose I canât blame him for initially thinking I would be okay with that, it was all he ever knew as my grandfather, Eiji started the cycleâ neglecting his son, reconciling far too late.. But, my father threw himself to Gojira as if he had nothing left after his precious replacement daughter, Vivienne Graham, was eaten by Ghidorah.. All the more reason to adore Ghidorah, he got rid of my competition.
Canon!Controller X: (Stares blankly.) Are we done with your sob stories?
Controller X!Ren: (Lip curls, though he ultimately let it slide.)
Canon!Controller X: So thereâs a Gojira in your world.
Controller X!Ren: (Scoffs.) Oh, thereâs a Gojira, all right. My father was so devoted to him, we may as well have been brothers. And despite all his destruction, when I put my life on the line piloting the Mecha to stop him, I barely survived. (He reached up and with a flick of his fingers, removed his visor. Beneath it, his right eye was gone, replaced by an old, deep shrapnel wound.) I didnât make it out entirely unscathed.
Canon!Controller X: (Frowns, inspecting the injury.) Tch. I didnât even know a Gojira existed, some cattle idiot released him. My monsters were nearly helpless against himâ except for Gigan and Monster X, of course.
Controller X!Ren: (Sneers.) King Ghidorah is superior.
Canon!Controller X: (Bristles.) Now, my turn to ask a question. Do you know Shinichi Ozaki?
Controller X!Ren: No, should I?
Canon!Controller X: Good, keep it that way. If he exists in this world, I am telling you, Controller X to Controller X, watch your damn back.
Controller X!Ren: (Turns to his henchmen.) Find out if this Ozaki exists, if he doesâ nuke his coordinates.
Canon!Controller X: (Smirks.) I like you.
Controller X!Ren: (Mirrors his smirk, replacing his visor.) Likewise.
i promise one day im gonna fix all the typos in ghidorahs voice im rereading it and lordy why did nobody tell me..
gv.. describe it in one meme and one meme only.
well.. after much consideration between the ânow im sitting here going half crazyâ vid, lots of trisha paytas and wendy williams clips, i have finally settled on this dead ish meme
the one on the left being ghidorah while the one on the right being ren, iâd say i would animate this but im so slow w drawing one piece i think iâd take a century to finisb an animation
in death take my hand, are there any other personifications?
yep! the family tree goes like this:
the âmotherâ of them all is nature, the âfatherâ is chaos or war?? i havent decided yet. anyway, the two obvious personifications in the games as of rn are death (nam-gyu) and life (to be revealed in the next chapter), but there is also the personification of greed (yeong-sam) and the personification of giving/generosity who serves as a direct counterpart to greed. there is more to appear tho, these are js the revealed ones!
What have ghidorah and ren taught eachother abt life as a titan and life as a human respectively?
considering ren and ghidorahs dynamic in âghidorahs voiceâ is very much âan enemy of my enemy.. is my friendâ dynamic, ren couldnât give less of a shit abt ghidorahs worldviews and iirc in the gvk novelization, ren was content w enslaving the remaining titans once godzilla fell, so had ghidorah been there, he prolly wouldve enslaved ghidorah wo batting an eye.
ghidorah has taught ren that his own humanity is holding him back and imprinted several of his worldviews onto ren (the gvk novelization implies ren was further corrupted by his repeated exposure to ghidorahs remnants) hell, ghidorah taught ren not to feel any guilt abt leveling hong kong and indirectly killing 4000 people, rather taught ren to feel ashamed he was caught and could very well end up in prison.
on the other hand, ren has taught ghidorah a big skillâ patience. ren, among other things, dealt with walter simmons for over a decade and his resentment towards the world in general built up, ren waited his whole life to get revenge and ghidorah (ni and san more specifically) learned that revenge is a dish best served cold, additionally, ichi and ni pretty much agree w all of rens views on social, political, economical stuff because they havent been introduced to anything else meanwhile san accessed the worldwide web during his brief time as mechagodzilla.
so yesterday i fell down the oguri shun being a cheating piece of shit rabbithole and wow..! i wish i stayed curious because now i dont want ren to return unless they recast.. i get âseparate the actor from the characterâ which i promise im trying to do but.. cheating on ur wife while shes pregnant MULTIPLE TIMES! is vile and i dont see enough ppl talk ab it đ it doesnt help he has daughters, i js dont get how one can put a woman through that knowing theres a chance it could happen to their daughters
