I once designed a Zigra like mech from Lego. It had a submarine like body, but the head, tail, and dorsal fins of Zigra.

I could easily see Gigan and Megalon as full mechs.

HWYFA: A psychological thriller Kaiju flick, one where the monster that is on screen might not even be real and it is more about the psyche of the characters?

Imagine if that was the case with Godzilla.

Maybe it could be a Night of the Living Dead scenario where you have a kaiju attack going on and a bunch of strangers stuck in a shelter together, reacting in different ways and potentially ending up in conflict. Pacific Rim gave us kind of a taste of this, and it would be cool to see it expanded upon.

That would be sick - I'd love to see a film like that.

^ That sounds like a good idea.

HWYFA a Kafka like situation where a kaiju fan wakes up and discovers he/she has become a kaiju and finds out the reality of being a giant beast?

How would you feel if :

1. They made another Godzilla film that incorporated elements of a spy-thriller?
2. Toho did more co-productions with American companies like how they did with UPA back in the Showa era?
3. Toho re-adapted the legend of Yamato Takeru? Or even any Japanese legend for that matter?
4. Toho made more original female monsters?
5. Toho had Godzilla go from villain to hero again like in the Showa era, but this time it served a greater thematic significance?

1. The following monsters had a venomous bite:
Ghidorah
Zilla
Biollante
2. If the next Monsterverse movie has 'Giant Monsters All Out Attack' in the title? Something like: Godzilla Kong Giant Monsters All Out Attack.

HWYFI :

1. Jet Jaguar started out as an innovative toy robot? The JSDF would take note of the toy's success and request the toymaker to borrow his product's image to model a anti-kaiju weapon after. Said toymaker reluctantly agrees and soon enough, the military will also use JJ's image for monetary gain, not just defense. Such a scenario could make way for good commentary on war-profiteering.

2. They showed Godzilla roaring right next to somebody, causing them to go deaf?

3. They should glass shattering on buildings as Godzilla and another kaiju strike each blow in a fight?

4. They showed Kong using his signature jaw-breaker finishing move on one of Ghidorah's heads?

1. Sounds quite interesting I might like it. Though I don't find Jet the most interesting character to begin with.
2. Sounds cool, would make sense.
3. Showed*
If done right it could look cool. Just as long as it's not overdone/overused.
4. Not particularly interested in seeing those two Kaiju fight.

^Yet people do seem to consider SP's take on JJ to be a brilliant re-imagining regardless of how I feel. Also, Having Kong face off against Ghidorah, or any A-list kaiju would be a nice break from always pitting Godzilla himself against them.

1. I like the idea. Having the man be a pacifist could also add some punch to it.

2. We had half of that in G98, but the hearing loss would make it seem more realistic.

3. Not sure about that.

4. If those two were paired for a fight, it'd be a highlight of the battle.

1. Neat idea.
2. I'd like it.
3. I'd love it. My ideal one would be Jiraiya, just like The Magic Serpent back in 1966.
4. That would be nice.
5. Depends on what theme it would be.

1. Gorosaurus was re-imagined as a giant Drepanosaur as opposed to a theropod dinosaur? For those of you who don't know, they were a family of tree-dwelling reptiles with sickle-shaped thagomizers at the end of their tails.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drepanosaur

Here's an image I've found of how it could look : Image

Here's the rest :

2. They re-introduced the Godzilla Tower as a disguise for MechaGodzilla?
3. They had more kaiju battles that took place somewhere other than Earth?
4. Time-travel was given a second chance?
1 sounds interesting if left-field.

I would like 2-4.

MG disguised as a tourist attraction would be an interesting move.

I don't see any real problem with that. Gigan and Megalon are halfway there already.

HWYFA
1. A real Godzilla(or Gamera) crossover with Evangelion, a canon appearance of the big G or other kaiju in that series. :shingodzillapurple:
2. A Godzilla appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ft Dr Demonicus maybe. :g2k:
3. A Godzilla appearance in the DCEU. :Superman:
4. Rodan dies in the next Monsterverse movie permanently. :Rodan56:

1. Love it.
2. Would be interested in it.
3. I'm surprised WB never did anything like that already.
4. Only if done well.

HWYFA....
1. If GvK was more more pro-Godzilla and ended with him outright winning?
2. A Godzilla film set in Russia and taking aim (however subtly) at Putin's regime?
3. A work about Rodan, Anguirus, and Varan getting seperated from Godzilla and working together to fight off monsters?
4. If Toho still had rights to Kong by the time of DAM and he was in the final battle?

1. I mean, that's what happened. The fact they both teamed up against MechaG doesn't dilute the fact that Godzilla won for me. I don't think I'd want to do without the mecha in this movie . If say Kong was killed by Godzilla I think that'd make more sense as I never knew Godzilla to be especially merciful. Though what we got was very cool & keeps Godzilla in a positive light to the general audience.

2. They should do it. Especially if they're well versed in some of the worst things about the current Russian regime .

3. *Shrug* that might be cool. Though I'm not longing for the spotlight of any of those monsters as much as some fans.

4. That would be cool! Though if anything I would've preferred to have seen Manda, Baragon & Rodan to have been even more involved in the fight. Kong I almost feel I would've liked to have seen die to Ghidorah. Give the villain at least one kill. It'd be almost appropriate as Kong has died tragically several times over the years.

1. Make it animation and I am fully on board with this. Unironically think a Shin x Evangelion Crossover that isn't a theme park ride would be hype.
2. I mean not sure how legally one could make this work, but I wouldn't protest this.
3. See I want to like this, given Warner Bros owns both and I love the DCU but the DCEU is a bit of a mess without even a coherent universe of its own. So wouldn't be as exciting.
3. Nah I like Rodan this is just mean lol
