How Could Past Monsters Be Revisited in the Reiwa Era?

[SharkLord]

One idea I've had is that King Ghidorah acts as a more distant villain, being seemingly killed off early on or even in the past, but he still lingers as a spirit or consciousness and influences events. I was imagining he controls an amy of alien invaders instead of the other way around, like in the anime trilogy (Except if he ressurects, it would be as a traditional Ghidorah rather than a static noodly boi).

I was also imagining that since Ghidorah wouldn't be a physical threat, the active villain role would go to Gigan, with him carrying out Ghidorah's will in the physical plane, perhaps with Megalon as his own extra muscle. On a lower scale, I was also imagining we could get a Metphies analogue setting up a Ghidorah cult on Earth to prepare for his return, acting as Ghidorah's voice on the human scale to contrast Gigan as Ghidorah's kaiju henchman.

If they made multiple variants of the Mothra song over the decades, can the same be done for Miyarabi's prayer if King Caesar returned?

I'd love to see a new version of Miyarabi's prayer, it's really catchy.

God I hope not.

Why? I take it you’re not a fan of KC?

No, I just despise that song.

No, I just despise that song.

If I were to guess, you are not a fan of the Mothra song either.

Guys, the answer is simple. We get a metal group to cover the KC song. I nominate Halelstorm.

I love the Mothra song.

I love the Mothra song.

Can you explain why you like one song and not the other? Is it because you consider one a ripoff?

No, I don’t consider it a ripoff. The Mothra song sounds nice and has a good tune to it. The King Caesar song is grating.

Even people who like the song feel it went on WAY too long.

Added in 9 minutes 17 seconds:

How would you feel if they gave Mothra a similar arc to Liu Kang in the recent Mortal Kombat games? By that I mean a beacon of virtue falling to the dark side. I know it will be controversial with many, But I won't be opposed to it. You can argue that Battra already fills the niche of a dark version of Mothra, but I am thinking Mothra herself going down the path of darkness and corruption.

That doesn’t really sit right with me. To me, Mothra is a beacon of hope, incorruptible in resolve, soul and heart.

While I prefer the more fallible take on Showa Mothra to modern portrayls, "darkness and corruption" doesn't make sense for Mothra. A more animalistic take on Mothra due to losing her connection to humanity ala Gamera in Attack of Legion makes more sense for a redemption story. Mothra's "dark take" feels it should be aloofness and being uncaring rather than a destroyer.

Here's a Megalon concept I thought of the other day:

So I guess this would work best in some sci-fi or futuristic setting; it's overkill for modern Japan. But basically Megalon is an alien siege engine. A big, bulky, armored, slow juggernaut (so the Reiwa standard), built to breach heavily defended fortresses. He would use his napalm bombs (probably redesigned to be more explosive) to bombard the target as he approached, then bore through or tunnel under the walls with his drills, maybe firing bombs through the drill holes to cause internal damage. Possibly he could have a variety of different bomb payloads he could use for different purposes. His horn lightning would probably be replaced with something more militaristic, like an EMP emitter or a cutting laser.

He would run on very simple, possibly glitchy and unpredictable, A.I., keeping his stupid personality intact and making him prone to irrational behavior. To guide and protect him while he worked, we'd have a Gigan specialized for combat, especially against kaiju. Honestly, bulking up GFW Gigan is all you really need to do. Let's give that poor guy some time to actually shine.

Matango/Gabara. Mutant fungi grows throuth apartament builiding and feed on fear related hormones of people. If it needs more physical contant with victicm, mycelium takes form of Gabara. Only ex-doctor played by Nicolas Cage can stop it.

If Varan were to be brought back, he is gonna be in need of a heavy revamp if he were to stand out. First of all, maybe tie him in with the Emishi people and their legends. For those of you who don't know, they were a sister-group to the mainline Japanese people who lived in the Tohoku region and held off well right until the 1300's. On top of that, make him an actual demonic being of the apocalypse.
