How would you feel about Ghidorah’s manes and crescent horns coming back?

They're a cool albeit insignificant detail. Would be neat, but I don't feel super strongly about it.

1. How would you feel if the Heisei series got a soft reboot starting with an entry that follows up upon the first 2 films, while ignoring the events of the 90’s films?

2. How would you feel if Toho set up its own streaming service?

3. How would you feel if Toho took advantage of Kong going full Public Domain in 2029 and turned him into a series regular alongside Mothra and a Ghidorah?

4. How would you feel if Toho made a live-action Godzilla TV series of their own if the Apple Streaming series is successful?
1. I'd like that.
2. I'd like that.
3. I'd like that.
4. I'd like that.

I’m here with another batch of questions

1. How would you feel if Shin Godzilla got a sequel was about the humanoids creatures rather than Godzilla himself

2. How would you feel if King Ghidorah win the Battle against Godzilla and destroys the earth.

3. How would you feel if Monsterverse revealed that Atlantis was a real place how did very advanced technology (like the Disney movie Atlantis) and lived aside with the Titans

4. How would you feel if future Godzilla movies use more real life tragic events to enhance the story.

Intrigued, but cautious. I'd be much more interested in the creative team behind it and what they'd bring to the table in executing a Shin sequel rather than what was in the Shin sequel.

Utterly nothing as it doesn't make sense for Ghidorah to win and it would make for a pretty lousy ending.

Annoyed at how contrived that would be.

Extremely suspect. That's not something you can just willy-nilly throw around and mess with. There's societal consequences to using tragedy to enhance fiction in a poor manner. Shin, G54, and Cloverfield are good examples in the giant monster genre but I don't trust most big studios to handle it delicately.

1. It's an interesting idea. It could make a nice horror film.

2. I don't think that would be a good idea.

3. Gamera already did this.

4. I'm not sure. Some events might be touched on, like how Gojira mentions the contaminated tuna, but there are some wounds that still hurt. It could be seen as bad taste.

That's like asking about the point of making a direct follow-up to G'54 when you're just gonna erase everything that followed. Look how much success doing just that brought the franchise over the years.

WI: Heisei Gamera Trilogy was in the MonsterVerse?

Post by GodzillaFan1990's »

Couldn't decide whether to put this in the MonsterVerse section, fanfic section or this. Settled on this since the fanfic section only consists of stories. If an admin or mod doesn't consider this the right section go on ahead and move it then.

That said, I thought this would make for an interesting discussion. How do you think the events would go for both side of the franchises if the Heisei Gamera Trilogy was set in the same universe as the MonsterVerse?

Notably would Gamera and Godzilla have a history with one another given their similar roles as protectors? Would they be allies or fight at first before becoming so? Would they have a history with one another in the ancient past? Maybe they might even be enemies because Godzilla would sense that Gamera wasn't born naturally having been created by artificial means (Same with the Gyaos only for good reason unlike Gamera)? Would Gamera also have any association with Mothra and Kong's species?

Would Gamera awaken the same time as he did in the actual films or perhaps earlier or later (Notably by the time of the events of Godzilla 2014).

What role would the Heisei Gamera mythos have with the MonsterVerse lore?

Discuss.

Isn't there a thread in the general Toho discussion section for hypothetical thought exercises such as this?

If that's the case then. Let an admin or mod perhaps move it there.

Done.
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.

Back again With another bash of questions.

1. how would you feel if King Ghidorah how to roar that is very similar to a hyena laugh

2. If a Skull Island Survival game was made what era do you think would fit best.

3. How would you feel if the MCU and Monsterverse made a crossover movie.

You were to make a survival game that takes place on skull island, what universe do you think would fit best, either The original 1933 universe,The Peter Jackson Universe, or The Monsterverse

MCU should not ever touch the MV. Keep both to themselves pls, they're both doing so well.

1. Cool idea, if a minor one.

2. Monsterverse, naturally. But honestly, the idea of Monsterverse's Skull Island filtered through Showa would be cool.

3. Its unlikely to say the least. Honestly, a DC crossover would be way more feasible and equally awesome

But for another of my own....

1. HWYFA a French director doing Godzilla and France co-producing the movie in question?
2. A film that puts more emphasis on the God in Godzilla by making him an actual god's reincarnation?
3. if Disney had gotten the film rights to the franchise in the 90's instead of Sony?
4. More mammalian and avian kaiju in the franchise?

4. I'd like to see more diversity in the kaiju. There are several mammals I can think of that would make great kaiju material, and a kaiju based on a cassowary could be a good enemy for Godzilla or Kong.

My own little questions.
1. What about having a giant human in a future film? It doesn't have to be Frank, but showing how a human would deal with suddenly becoming more Titan that man, and perhaps how the Titans would react.

2. How about a sequel to GMK, where fish have become bigger and dangerous because of eating pieces of Godzilla's flesh?
