Re: Inevitable Crossover: Pacific Rim
Remember when it was inevitable for the series to cross over when Godzilla 2014 came out? Fun times.

Re: Inevitable Crossover: Pacific Rim
I don't think a crossover is inevitable at all; People really seem to like Godzilla and Kong right now and quite bluntly, The MV doesn't need PR. A lot of people need to remember while the first PR was great (I loved it) and was well received, it wasn't very profitable. The second one was dog shit and bombed and the series on Netflix is probably only being watched by super fans. Just my .02 don't mean to offend anyone.

Re: Inevitable Crossover: Pacific Rim
As long as there's life in both the MV and PR franchises I believe the possibility is still imminent at least.

Well, there's nothing but faith backing that belief right now I think.ernesth100 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 4:54 pmAs long as there's life in both the MV and PR franchises I believe the possibility is still imminent at least.
I unapologetically, wholeheartedly, and without a doubt hate Godzilla vs Kong.

Re: Inevitable Crossover: Pacific Rim
Eh, the fact that we can even still discuss the possibility is a miracle. The anime is really the only reason I made this thread. Because it's possible they do a non-canon spinoff crossover.

If a studio owns both properties there is always a chance especially when it has being hinted at twice before.
The Fast franchise for example just teased a Jurassic World crossover.

Re: Inevitable Crossover: Pacific Rim
Except Toho has final say what Godzilla crosses over with. IDW had the rights to Godzilla, Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, and Transformers, did any of those cross over? No. So just because a company is holding the rights, means absolutely fucking nothing.miguelnuva wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 5:56 pm If a studio owns both properties there is always a chance especially when it has being hinted at twice before.

Nothing you said contradicts what I said.

Also a IDW crossover is different from a Legendary crossover. Movies have slightly different rights then comic crossovers. IDW has to talk to Hasbro and Toho and Toho has to agree with Hasbro. With Pac Rim its just legendary and maybe GDT talking to Toho.

Re: Inevitable Crossover: Pacific Rim
This isn't the case when rights are on loan from another company. Fox Studios had the film rights for X-Men and the film rights for Fantastic Four from Marvel, but they weren't able to make an X-Men F4 crossover film unless they got approval from Marvel to do so. Toho would have final say on whether or not Legendary could do a Pacific Rim Godzilla crossover.miguelnuva wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 5:56 pm If a studio owns both properties there is always a chance especially when it has being hinted at twice before.

Re: Inevitable Crossover: Pacific Rim
I never said Toho wouldn't have a say, I'm saying with them both being with Legendary there is a better chance Legendary could cross them over than say Legendary wanting Godzilla to cross with Jurassic World. Pac Rim is in house for Legendary and Godzilla is something they have to talk to Toho about. There isn't a third party they have to talk to like when they crossed Godzilla and Kong,ebirah_scampi wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 7:10 pmThis isn't the case when rights are on loan from another company.

Re: Inevitable Crossover: Pacific Rim
I'm not event sure Toho would mind sending any version of Godzilla to the PR universe. It's clear they'd treat him with respect. It's been stated he'd be a Cat 10 at least.

Viacom owns the rights to Spongebob Square Pants, Jackass, South Park, Dora the Explorer, Hey Arnold and Beavis and Butthead. Can't wait for the Beavis and Butthead Hey Arnold crossover. Or how about that Jackass and Blues Clues crossover! Or Crank Yankers and Catdog!Nothing you said contradicts what I said. Legendary has rights over both so a Crossover has a chance of happening.

Re: Inevitable Crossover: Pacific Rim
Godzilla doesn't even have to be an enemy. And there's no way he could lose to the PR mechs I'm sure Legendary knows that much.

Re: Inevitable Crossover: Pacific Rim
Your still not contradicting me. If Viacom wanted Dora and Spongebob to cross over it would be easier than Spongebob popping up in Teen Titans go. You seem to be confusing me saying there is a chance becasue both franchise are with one company vs its for sure happening.LamangoKaijura wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 12:24 pm

You also mentioned franchises that have a much lower chance of crossing over than Godzilla and Pac Rim. The mtv franchises would not cross over with Nick but the nic franchise could crossover.
Your argument would be Pac Rim crossing over with the Hangover.

Re: Inevitable Crossover: Pacific Rim
Once again I didn't say they didn't own both, the MTV shows wouldn't cross with Nick because they're too different.
If I own my little pony I'm not going to cross it with Mortal Kombat if I own that as well.
It would still be easier however than going to you who owns Street Fighter.

And IDW had the rights to both power rangers and Godzilla. Did we get a crossover from that? It's not inevitable. And it won't happen.miguelnuva wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 6:52 pmOnce again I didn't say they didn't own both, the MTV shows wouldn't cross with Nick because they're too different.

That is a crossover where they have to talk to Saban or Hasbro and then Boom on the power rangers side and then go talk to Toho.LamangoKaijura wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 6:53 pmAnd IDW had the rights to both power rangers and Godzilla.

Legendary is just taking their franchise and talking to Toho. An easier time not a guarantee but easier than the above crossover.

Re: Inevitable Crossover: Pacific Rim
Dude chill out before you offend someone and the mods take action. We're having a civil discussion on the possibility and execution of the idea should it be taken up.
There's no reason to shoot down the idea so aggressively.
That being said. Should this happen. Do you think they'll use Godzilla only or let Kong and other MV kaiju come to play as well?
I'm sure of one thing. It'll be non-canon if it happens ever.

Re: Inevitable Crossover: Pacific Rim
Inevitable? Doubt it. Personally I think it would be a lame crossover with the PR kaiju undermining the Titans in the Monsterverse. The titans are way cooler anyway.
