Re: How could Toho make Godzilla even "weirder"? What new directions might they go in after 2020?
Okay, so after reading some K.W.C stories, a crazy thought for a Godzilla film ran through my head.
What if we have Godzilla... fight a Godzillasaurus?
So pretty much, we bring back the Godzillasaurus origin. There's two Godzillasaurus' out there: one of them is Godzilla, and the other one is a more natural Godzillasaurus. It's pretty much a more regular looking dinosaur with some Godzilla esc. features (think the actual Heisei Godzillasaurus design mixed with some of the classic G spines {though they'd probably be a bit smaller} and some more unoriginal theropod features) It's still kaiju sized, but it grew more naturally due to a feeding radiation on a decent dose, and not being nuked to sh*t. Meanwhile, Godzilla's still the more upright standing, keloid scar wearing monster that grew at an unnatural rate because of the bomb that got dropped on him. They both fight, and it's kind of personal for both for them because they're exact opposites. Godzillasaurus sees a mutant of his kind who needs to be put out of his misery, and Godzilla is jealous because Godzillasaurus is exactly what he could have been had humanity not royally messed up his life.
Or something like that. I dunno, I'm tired.

What if they brought back Godzilla's biomagnetism from '74?

You want weird? Give Godzilla the Hulk Origin.
He was a dude hit by gamma rays and bam now he’s a human-Godzilla hybrid thing.

On its web site in the Fan Fiction section, G-FAN has a short story on it by Neil Reabe titled "Godzilla vs. Tiamatodon" with the latter being a conjoined twin version of Godzilla.

Godzilla should have no tail, large pendulus gonads, fairy wings instead of spikes, gaint Hulk arms, and a featureless face that looks like a lump of melted flesh. His theme song should be 70s disco music. The movie should star a very pregnant Amy Adams and the corpse of Fatty Arbuckle (look it up). Oh, and Godzilla should be invisible when he's not furiously masturbating and should have access to a time machine.
Weird enough?

I can't be 100% sure, but I think it's just possible that might have been Legion's intention.

I would be more accepting of weirdness under one condition : That being that said "weirdness" does not stem from Godzilla's own biology but rather he gets augmented from some outside source. For example, receiving cybernetic implants or getting a power boost by an injection of another kaiju's DNA.

How about a Godzilla that you can see under the flesh in his chest the burning radiological power? Not Burning G but literally his nuclear organ is like a reactor that's light is permeating his flesh? Or maybe a Godzilla that control animal life around him like sea birds, sea creatures, maybe even plants?

Could go full Rampage and have Godzilla begin as a person before being mutated into a monster.

I am not sure, thought the implication with Shin was it was some sort of sea life that got mutated by nuclear waste dumped into the sea.

The movie alludes for Goro Maki having a connection, but it is incredibly unclear precisely what that connection is. It’s unclear if he merely discovered the life form that would turn into Godzilla, or altered it. It’s impossible to say if he fused with it, and I don’t think anything in the film supports that conclusion. However, it’s clear that at a certain point he realized what he had discovered, and that’s when he killed himself. It can also be inferred that him not instantly warning everyone of what he had discovered is his revenge within itself. Based on documents in the film, we know that he discovered the organism prior to Kamatakun emerging from Tokyo bay. The suicide can be seen as a full-circle of reconciling with his wife’s death, and an end to his story.
One thing I appreciate about Shin is how it doesn’t pointlessly explain everything that happened. The vague ideas give an idea of what happened but allows people to fill in the blanks.
