Talking about Gamera depresses me. We had that anniversary trailer-thing at SDCC like six-something years ago and that’s been it. Kadokawa knows there is a high demand for a new film, they know now is the best time for a revival, but they’d rather license the character for figures and whack off to their sucky anime instead. I mean, I’m glad they’re doing SOMETHING, as I own several of those figures. But the fact that they are not running with the name during the biggest kaiju boom since the Showa era is mindboggling. The amount of money they are missing out on is ridiculous.

I know this is old but maybe this could still happen and we might see Gamera in the monster verse
It’d be nice, but I’m certain Toho at the very least wouldn’t let it happen. Obviously a fight between the two would need to happen, and Toho would not want Godzilla to lose to a rival, and neither would Kadokawa. It would likely end up being a draw, but I can’t see how Gamera would fit into a plot large enough to require him being second to Godzilla in this universe.
they can just be bros with minor disagreements and gamera can get fucked up and make everyone feel bad.
granted this would make goji an asshole villain again for a bit
gamera has no interest in being king of anything he just wants to save humies
Not if he’s using his Heisei personality, especially from the third film. By that point his connection with humanity was severed, and he couldn’t really give two shits less about humans if it meant following his programming, which was to protect the earth from the Gyaos (earth, the planet, nature, not humanity specifically). This is greatly demonstrated in the attack in Shibuya when Gamera very obviously kills hundreds, if not thousands, while chasing a Gyaos around the city. The main characters even reflect on that.
If they resign to using his Showa “friend of children” personality, sure, I can see that. But I feel that degrades Gamera’s character backwards to that era, and it makes him look more like a clown character than an actual threat to anything, and it severely brings the maturity of the Monsterverse down (more than it has been since KOTM). Plus, I don’t think fans would want to see Gamera get reduced to such a backburner role, and be bullied by Godzilla so much.
gamera is a friend of all children
he is a good turtle
he’s in a backburner franchise, make him the new angirus
I would enjoy seeing Godzilla rip Gameras head and limbs off, then split his shell open and vaporize the remains. Or at least kill him Muto-style.
…you must have seen the Heisei trilogy. Come on. Most fans nowadays prefer their Gammy to be more like this and less the gymnastic, xylophone-playing, “ohh, he dancing go-go!” cringe beast that he used to be.
And yes, mostly, he is in a backburner franchise. But please keep in mind that in five years, across three films, Gamera and Daiei outdid everything Toho tried to do with Godzilla since 1984. Special effects, story, acting, cast, budget…Gamera outdid it all. Not so much box office, but that’s obvious, sadly. The lasting critical acclaim, however, is more important, and ask any amount of fans of these films and they will say that trilogy was, and some say still is, the epitome of the genre.
Gamera would wreck Godzilla in a blaze of glory, if using his Heisei abilities.
Any others, Godzilla would slay, yes.
why cant we be friends

Only in one movie. And that was energy comprised of the earth’s mana, and there was no way in hell he was going to defeat Legion otherwise. The overrated Destroyah was going to have a chest beam too, would that be any less “cringe”?
oho but did he
Listen guys Godzilla needs some friends

Come now, I know you’re more knowledgable than that.
The concept of Godzilla needing “friends” always screamed cringe for me. Like, I know its overused, but really, it makes me recoil. It reeks of Showa, and I’m finding it hard to accept why a gigantic, scarred, constantly in pain victim of nuclear fire needs a friend.

I know its not canoooooonnnnnnnnnuhhhh. But the idea was obviously there, as you can see in the video.
All that, reeks of Showa era. Aliens, earth army of monsters…blehblehbleh. At least KOTM did it right, Godzilla and Mothra aren’t “friends” but they work together in symbiosis. Unless you dive into the fan art (is that canon?)
director confirms
