Shin series continuations: when or if?

[LegendZilla]

Almost non-stop? When? When was this non-stop string of one-shot films? You mean between 2001 to 2004, then nothing for 12 years until 2016, then nothing again for 7 years until Minus One?

We haven't had 25 five years of one shots. We had 4 years of one shots, then nothing for well over a decade, then almost another decade until another movie.

This isn’t even true

The Kiryu Saga was a sequel, and there was the Planet of the Monsters Trilogy. Ironically, the Reiwa era has produced a trilogy of films with the HARDEST continuity between them that’s ever existed.

True...but I feel dirty counting the Polygon trilogy.
But you're right. It hasn't been all one-shots - Kiryu duology, anime trilogy, full season of SP, the Gemstone shorts continuity, the live action shorts continuity. Nevermind the ongoing MV...we're not lacking in continuity, yet some fans won't be satisfied until every Toho Godzilla movie is in one large continuity again.

The Polygon trilogy, SP and Gemstone shorts were not done in-house by Toho themselves. I am only referring to mainline live-action films from 1999-present. Technically they don't count as much.

Besides, could a potential sequel to Shin Ultraman potentially serve as retelling of Return of Ultraman? And could the same apply for Shin Kamen Rider by bringing in V3 in a potential sequel?

Well, we're getting a sequel to Minus One - that's happening. But we don't need an ongoing continuity where every film going forward has to fit in.

I never said a single continuity has to be permanent. All I'm asking for is the odd duology and/or trilogy now and then.

Well, I've been thinking it over just now, and I think that since Shin Kamen Rider: Masker World has actually, physically been announced, and no one has seen or heard anything about both Shin Ultraman Continued and Shin Ultraseven since who knows when, the former most likely stands a good chance of actually being both made and released to theaters than the latter two do.

Could Masked World potentially introduce V3? Also, I expect Continued to be a re-telling of RoU. As for a Shin Godzilla sequel, Biollante would be an excellent fit in my book.

I would've thought that Shin Ultraman Continued would be about Ultraman's trial in the Land of Light and its aftermath on Earth, not a remake of Return of Ultraman. That sounds logical enough.

Ultraman died in the end of Shin Ultraman. If they bring in Jack, he should be a modified clone.

Thanks, I didn't know this until I looked it up. In that case, maybe Ultraman Jack would fit in this storyline after all.

[Major sssspielberg!]

I've said before I think Zoffy filling in for Jack would be dope. His face is a scan of the original Jack mask, after all.
I see Zoffy as being more educated on earth than Ultraman was, but from a more clinical perspective. So his journey would be more of a cynical perspective being warmed by humanity. Ultraman was pretty much sold the moment he saw Kaminaga sacrifice himself for the kid in the woods. Zoffy could come back to earth either out of obligation to or in honor of Ultraman's sacrifice, or just out of curiosity to see exactly what it was about us that made Ultraman so willing to give his life against the will of M78 and uhh... space law.
