Not sure I'm down with that, either, since it's the design that makes him so memorable. Suppose, however, that they basically went with the original design, yet featured him in a movie where he was played deadly straight, as a genuinely malicious and destructive monster. Would most viewers be able to accept that? I'd be willing to give it a shot, but I'm fairly sure I'm in the minority in both the fandom and the general populace on the point.
I think at first, the fans would be like "omg, this isn't our O.G. Megalon we're used to", but after a while, most of them would accept the change, mainly because it would be a change for better (seriously, you can't get much worse with Megalon, he was a complete goofball in GvsMegalon). That saying, minor design tweaks would probably been necessary...which is a thing I'd appreciate, if done in same fashion Showa Gigan was redesignes for GFW.
