I don't see it being a matter of Toho needing/having the "balls" - Mothra's popular enough in Japan that it's not exactly a really big risk. She's just not quite as profitable as Godzilla I think.shadowgigan wrote: ↑Tue Mar 22, 2022 8:28 pmFirst, I second your opinion on the relevancy of our discussion.Vakanai wrote: ↑Tue Mar 22, 2022 6:16 pmI think the discussion was relevant and focused on this movie, as we were discussing the odds of this movie being a new Godzilla movie, and those odds are directly impacted by the odds of Godzilla being in the next Legendary/MV movie. But if we're not to discuss that then: I'm still feeling like we can't rule out this being a Mothra picture.UltramanGoji wrote: ↑Tue Mar 22, 2022 5:47 pm Alright, let's move the MV discussion to the appropriate threads and keep this one focused on the new Toho movie.
Second, I had the same thought re: Mothra. I wonder if Toho has the balls to try it. The possibilities really are endless at this point so I guess it doesn’t really matter what we speculate.
Added in 2 minutes :
It might not be Mothra, but she's got a better chance than any other established Toho kaiju outside of Godzilla, so I don't think she should be ruled out.Legion1979 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 23, 2022 4:48 am It's not going to be a Mothra picture and the possibilities aren't endless.
The movie is going to be whatever Toho thinks is going to be the most financially viable. And that limits things, because this is Toho we're talking about.
