Are there any sources stating that ToMG happened in the 70's?
The scene with Manda is stock footage, but to the audience it is meant to be interpreted as something new.

You don’t need a source for it specifically being in the 1970’s. The film is clearly present day japan in 1974/5/70’s based on the clothing and style.

Thanks for the answer. Looks like Manda had attacked humanity before.

If you want Headcanon just treat the Champion Festival films as their own separate era and continuity, one where Godzilla is a superhero kaiju, no need to tie them to DAM or any other 60's film.

Showa Godzilla's underwater home is possibly an ancient civilization in ruins similar to how it is in KOTM.

Godzilla vs. Gigan and Godzilla vs. Megalon are actually happening in a manga. And the heavy use of stock footage in those two films is the rendition of artirts recreating real past events and fights. Don't ask me about Zone Fighter, haven't seen it so I can't be sure if it fits with my headcanon.

Couldn't you then say that DAM is "clearly" set in the 60s for the same reason? We see plenty of cities and people in regular civilian clothing that is clearly of-the-time and not designed to feel futuristic.

I mean....if we are talking about a world where DAM is 1999/end of 20th century with those various aesthetics....then I can easily buy that Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla and Terror of Mechagodzilla occur AFTER DAM.

All of these movies are clearly operating in a bit of a 'hyper reality' anyways.

While there are a lot of people in contemporary clothing, there are also a few choices made to break with that, like the lack of lapels on the agents' jackets.
Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

In the commentary on the Media Blasters disc it’s mentioned that there’s an attempt to make the fashions look futuristic, although it’s subtle. The Tokyo detectives wear suits without lapels, which I’m sure was never a real fashion in 1968 Japan. (eabaker sniped me!)

And except for the military technology reappearing, there’s nothing futuristic about the ‘70s Godzillas. DAM, however, has handheld radar devices, video phone technology, etc.

A Godzilla attacked Tokyo in 45 or 54 in the Polygon Trilogy Timeline. Maybe just blowing up part of the city in one blast.
Godzilla faced off against a second Orga and Hedorah at some point in the Polygon Trilogy Timeline. Destoroyah as well once the human left the Earth.
Godzilla killed the Giant Octopus in that Timeline.
Monsterverse creatures like the MUTOs, Shinomura, Behemoth, Scylla, Methuselah, Tiamat, Orochi & Amhuluk, Etc. existed in that Timeline 's past. Perhaps some still do within a Hollow Earth type region of the Earth like the Skullcrawlers and Warbats.
Some GTS creatures existing in the Polygon Trilogy Timeline like CRex, Giant Squid, El Gusano but all got quickly killed by the military.

I always pretend there's three main concurrent Showa timelines. One is Godzilla, one is the space trilogy, and one is Frankenstein through Space Amoeba (which could conceivably also take place in the Godzilla series world I guess.)
Frank, Dogora, Gargantuas, Kong Escapes, and Space Amoeba. You could squeeze Latitude Zero and Matango in there if you want.
I know it's all arbitrary but it's hard to fit Atragon anywhere because of how thoroughly Tokyo is annihilated by the Mu :lol:

Megalon is the Showa Battra.

Megalon is an insect god, worshipped by an ancient civilisation, and can be seen as a Showa couterpart to Mothra.

I'm sorry goji, my bad. It's a brilliant movie, and hearing it glossed over vs actually seeing it go down are two very different things, I hope you'll still check it out! I'm gonna go sit in my shame corner now.

Showa Rodan (GTTHM) is the surviving male Rodan from 1956.

The Godzilla from Godzilla 2000: Millennium is the 1954 Godzilla’s younger brother.

Final Wars Rodan is the son of the 1956 Rodan pair.

MonsterVerse Rodan may not yet be fully grown and is still a juvenile/teenager at the time of KOTM.

Kiryu Saga Godzilla is the 1954 Godzilla’s son; for all intents and purposes, he’s Godzilla Junior.

Destoroyah could have continued taking on larger and more terrifying forms if she hadn’t gotten got by Godzilla and G-Force.

Anime Ghidorah is the progenitor of all the Ghidorahs seen throughout the franchise, including whatever was piloting the Gorath in the prequel novels.

Somewhere in the Gamera universe there’s a supreme Legion queen that they all originate from.

Zone Fighter was fighting the Garoga somewhere off-screen during Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla and TOMG, hence why he was not there to help.

Showa King Ghidorah was once a Golden Garoga overlord who transformed into his current state to destroy a particularly troublesome world and lost his mind in the process, escaping into the cosmos away from his kind.
