GODZILLA (and other kaiju)

-could be bigger. But unnecessary. He was already 20 meters larger than the Showa Era G.

  • needs atomic breath. Like the cartoon.
  • more resistant to conventional weapons, not immune. Recall that G2k was injured from missiles as was Shin G.
    -fine to be an animal with animal needs like food.
    -can have young, but upon their destruction, becomes enraged and decimated military. If killed, must be with oxygen destroyer or direct hit with nuke.

Well it’s never going to happen, Godzilla 2014 is the spiritual successor or heisei and will continue in the monster verse and Toho wil make shin in theirs

Never say never. (Spider-Man NWH)

Ya as another punching bag lol

Toho has declared that any subsequent appearances of the 1998 character will be under the name “Zilla,” because according to Shogo Tomiyama it "took the ‘God’ out of 'Godzilla.

Money talks. They’d do it. They’d let it happen.

That’s true 😎

This is an accurate quote but this is not true. I explained as such over in the figures thread.

Please copy and paste to keep me from searching in vain.

No, I’d put money on Toho letting 98 Godzilla return if their cut was big enough and the story good enough. Like alluded to long ago, a Godzilla-verse film or better yet films, featuring Showa, Heisei, 98, Millenium and Legendary G designs all thrown together against multiple versions of their most famous enemies, by the Xilians, having returned from a long trip between dimensions. That would be sick.

Ah yes, I recall now. Yeah, that doesn’t mean he couldn’t make an appearance on another movie(s).

He could, very well could, but they will likely disrespect him like they did FW. At least in the Rulers of Earth comics he put up a very good fight in every engagement.

That’s what I mean. If the right person got ahold of the story, handled each version with respect, it could be great.

Well Toho and Sony/Tristar had a deal for an American version for pretty much that entire decade, since 1992. They were all set to go in 1994, but Tristar refused to fork over the budget. So in 1996 after the success of Stargate and ID4, they tried to get Emmerich and Devil to work on it. Both of them poopoo’d the idea, they didn’t like Godzilla at all and didn’t want to touch it. After some financial encouragement, they agreed but only if they could do their own version. Both Toho and Sony, now at the risk of losing millions over a contract that produced nothing, were pretty much backed into a corner, so Toho said ok, fine. And the rest is history.

Hope it’s true. Hope they pay Wingard to do it, or at least Dougherty. Hope it takes place in broad daylight, or whatever light source is inside hollow earth. Hope to see more of those new titans. Hope they don’t fuck it up.

GvK Sequel? MV is as good as dead with how dogshit that movie was.

Oh well, nothing lasts forever.

Uhmmm…hate to disappoint but the movie wasn’t as bad as you make it out to be. Like, imo it was the weakest entry so far but it made HUGE money. The MV is actually going very, very strong strong right now in numerous markets, so its far from dead, mate.

I will gladly have a civil discussion as to how I believe the film is filled with character assassination, world building wastage, and crap writing, but from a narrative and quality perspective its probably three feet deep for me already. Maybe it’s the doomer AvP Fan in me but I see the writing on the wall.

I just hope Adam Wingard doesn’t touch this series again. Anyone of the previous directors would instantly make me more hopeful.

!

I had already accepted Toho was done sharing the license, but we’re still going. No complaints here.

Wingard’s the weakest of the 3 directors, really more of a thriller movie guy. Gareth has a great sense of scale but ik Dougherty wanted to do an ancient hollow earth movie with Godzilla in Atlantis and whatnot fighting aliens.
