Mildly unrelated, but would love to see them try to blend the Desplat and classic Godzilla themes together in some future film. I'll even take it in the series.

I rather have them both separated

by no means Do I hate the classical themes but to me sometimes it robs itterations of characters uniqueness when it all comes back down to Iconic pieces we've heard everywhere before.


Would have loved if the monsterverse stuck with desplats main theme for godzilla (it has a lot of variations seriously give the OST and the not official rips of the soundtrack a listen it was crafted to be used as a recurring theme and not just an opening fanfare) with the Master Akira's classic theme and march used sparingly because well its still amazing and will always be!


for other classic monsters by all means do new revamps of their classic scores like mothra song for KOTM, its just that specific theme for g14 was made as part of the core of the new born universe


hopefully as the series IS rumored to be on the past with less modern world super science of KOTM+ period and more in line with the kinda analogic? weird mystery vibes of G14 and specially the opening credits this may be the perfect time to use that score



I woudlnt hold my breath for it but it would be nice

Also, definitely keep an eye on YVR Shoots on Twitter. They seem to get alot of info on the show while it's been filming in Canada.

Small update. The Godzilla/MonsterVerse Show is confirmed for 10 episodes by Matt Fraction himself.

Just bring back the 2014 design please and thank you.

Also, Desplat returning would be a big cherry on top. Not sure if he does tv scores though.

Well this series is between the first movie and KOTM so that should be the primary reason for using the 2014 design.

Also a lot of people legitimately love the more naturalistic design of Godzilla in 2014.

Also, it allows for some more diverse merchandise options for companies who have just had two swings at the 19/21 design…

And lastly, cannon wise he should still look like the 2014 design.

As much as I would love to see the 2014 design again it's not like the general audiences is gonna notice or better yet care so they'll use the current design.

More than likely yes. But I’d prefer to have hope until Legendary does the expected thing and shits all over my dreams

I expect them to just use the KOTM iteration of Godzilla since that design has been used for 2 movies now.

I'm honestly more interested how they're gonna factor Godzilla and the other Titans in.

Muto Prime and Godzilla fought soon after g14. It's very possible he'll be his 2019 incarnation.

How is definitely interesting. The most interesting. But we wouldn’t be fans if we didn’t all have our preferences and odd things we care about.

Personally I wouldn't have a problem if they retcon the Godzilla hasn't been seen in 5 years as far as public sightings are concerned

That hasn't happened yet. This series takes place between 2014 and KoTM.

But yes, future movies should feel free to completely disregard GvK and its lazy sidelining of the Monsterverse at large.

Same. I don't know why they even bothered to have that be a thing.

They're talking about KoTM, not GVK. KoTM essentially said that nothing happened between 2014 and 2019.
