How about have Godzilla acquire a powered-mech suit? Trendmasters did it when they had the Godzilla license, so why not have the idea show up in a movie?

I hope they go in a more "normal" direction. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel and just give me the old one that I know works.

Agreed and well-said.

Which one would that be? Between the Showa and Heisei eras, a lot of things emerged that could be regarded as "traditional" or "classic" takes on Godzilla.
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.

I think I agree with your statement. Something with elements of those two series. First, I would give Godzilla a more traditional appearance, and would probably get rid of any “forms.”

Well maybe sooner or later there could be a movie where mankind could be forced to give a armor to Godzilla, we had already get 2 times where Godzilla had need humanity's help for get a power-up:

1) for becoming Super Godzilla and so defeating Bagan Godzilla he needed the Ghidorah cells to be injected in him by humans.

2) for defeating Keizer Ghidorah Godzilla had needed that Shinichi giving his Kaizer's energy to him.

So for me is not impossibile that one day we will see a Godzilla with a armor.

About the Trendmasters version of Godzilla lately I have discovered that there was form of Godzilla called Mega Mutation Godzilla that was consisting into Godzilla boosted and corrupted by Desteroyah's cells. Interesting, so with Super Godzilla and Mega Mutation Godzilla we have 2 Godzilla forms that used the cells of his enemies ( King Ghidorah and Desteroyah) as source of power, really nice for me :)

I think that if there will be a second season of Singular Point it can be that Godzilla may have a new form that can make him more like a Cosmic Horror Entity.

There is also the Shin Japan Heroes Universe, who knows if that crossover will give a power-up to Shin Godzilla that it could be in some way related with the sci-fi stuff of Evangelion, Ultraman and Kamen Raider? After all already exist a fusion between Godzilla with Evangelion 13 in Monster Strike and a action figure of a Evangelion Unit 01 mutated by Godzill's cells.

Y'know, when it comes to Toho experimenting with Godzilla's color, i wonder if we'll ever see an albino Godzilla like this one.

Image

Think it's honestly the only color that works for Godzilla other than gray, green or brown TBH.

Maybe he could turn albino from a power-up.

What if we had a white Godzilla with obsidian-black dorsal plates?

And yet people were fine with the polar opposite of such an idea, that being GMK.

Yes, funny how people people can be behind an idea yet be against the polar opposite of that idea. Boggles the mind. Truly.

It’s almost like they don’t want it because it’s not what they want.

Godzilla fights another Godzilla. Not like a doppelganger or a clone like MechaG or SpaceG, just Godzilla vs. Godzilla. Godzilla would win, of course, but I think it would be fun to see.

Enough of this "multiverse" bullshit.
