Raymond Burr was a fine actor but I think there are more deserving actors in the Godzilla film history. Off the top of my head I would choose Takashi Shimura or Akihiko Hirata.
It could happen in a western-produced film.

1. Charles Barkley made a cameo in a future film?
2. They named a character after Raymond Burr?
3. Warner Bros made direct-to-video animated features of Godzilla like DC and Mortal Kombat?
4. They dealt with one of the main human characters getting radiation sickness from exposure to Godzilla?
1. It might work as a joke, but I'm not sure.
2. That would be a good way to honor a fine actor and give fans an easter egg....and yes, he played in Perry Mason. ;)
3. It would depend on the quality of the films.
4. Why not? BF20TF had the Beast making soldiers ill, so why not see what happens when someone gets too close to a radioactive monster.

HWYFI :

1. They gave Gigan a rotating eye like a Zaku in the Gundam series?
2. They brought back a mated pair of Rodans like in 1956?
3. They used graphene-based weaponry against kaiju?
4. A construction-worker was the lead character in a kaiju film?

1. It could be a good visual. I can see Gigan's eye moving back and forth to select his first target.
2. If it serves as a significant point to the storyline, yes.
3. Graphene has a number of potential ways I could see it used against kaiju. It'd like to see it done.
4. Depending on the story, any kind of character can be done. A construction worker might be useful in a situation where people are trapped in a crumbling structure, and he/she has the equipment to perform the rescue.

1. Sure, why not? They've been connected before.

2. Pls no.

3. I don't know about a connected origin story, but I find it awfully strange the concept of a plant monster fighting a pollution themed alien never cross the minds of IDW's writers.

1. A open world game where you played as a Survivor in a post apocalypse world fill with Kaiju, Godzilla can roam around in the map, so you need to watch out for him before you get crush

2. Destroyah can turn into many smaller form at will, similar to T-3000

3. In a Godzilla movie, the big G get defeated/kill by King Ghidorah, while in the sequels G Jr come around and grow up to be another Godzilla and battle King Ghidorah

The third one I need. I need to see King Ghidorah kill Godzilla in my life. :KingGhidorah64: :KingGhidorah64: :KingGhidorah64:

Actually the game idea sounds great too, maybe even better than Planet of the Monsters.

1. I would play that game.
2. I'd prefer Destroyah do that as a last resort in a fight.
3. Sounds like a Godzilla version of Gamera the Brave. It could work.

1. The Ghidorahs and Destoroyahs are rivals species, constantly at war with each other. With one representing the angels and one representing the demons

2. Hedorah Behaves like the blob, consuming Kaiju to get bigger

Interesting idea, especiaklly if some of these Ghidorahs were "good" if not beign. I presume King Ghodorah would be a fallen angel a la Lucifer.

2. If done well could be horrifying.

3. Not sure about it.

1. Perhaps play the Ghidorahs as good, but not concerned with human life. That way they could be both good and dangerous.
2. That makes Hedorah a threat to both man and kaiju. It could work.
3. I don't think that's wise. The two franchises have different tones that wouldn't work together.

HWYFA..
A kaiju that's a body part? Like a giant head or hand?

Might work for an Ultraman or Power Rangers type of show. Getting punched or gripped by a giant hand would be an interesting visual. Were you inspired by Gangar from the Giant Robo series?

HWYFA a kaiju that pulverized cities and wrecked the countryside, devoured water supplies and crops, but ran away from every confrontation making it that much harder to eliminate? In other words, the kaiju equivalent of a rat or cockroach.

It could very well work and interesting Visual if done right

1.Godzilla died but reincarnated as space Godzilla

2. Gorath, isn’t a planet but billions upon billions of destoroyahs all crunched up together to make this ginormous sphere of mass

I had a dream that involved a giant hand attacking a museum. For your question, that's an interesting idea that I'd like to see. If it could teleport, that would make it even harder to stop.

Gorath being a massive Destroyah colony sounds like a good alien invasion story.

Might work in either a more sillt, lighthearted wrk, or as a body horror-laden one, depending on how realistic it is.

I'd like it. Could make interesting background kaiju, or low-level mooks in a game.

1. A future instalment making Godzilla into an actual god, complete with being able to talk human and shapeshift to the size of us?
2. A kaiju that was actually a whole bunch of smaller ones bunched up together, Worm that Walks-style?

Okay, here's some more :

HWYFI :

1. A version of Gigan with bird-like feathers like he was originally intended to have?
2. A fully-submersible MechaGodzilla?
3. A Hollywood Godzilla film that critiqued American politics?
4. A Kaiju attack on Istanbul?

1. Sure, why not?

2. Underwater Mechagodzilla could lead to some really cool action scenes, so I'd be on board for that. We've never really seen an enemy seek Godzilla out in his home and attack him while his guard is down.

3. Assuming it's intelligent and tasteful, sure.

4. Sure! Kaiju attacks on Europe are almost non-existent, and it's about time that changed.

1. I prefer Gigan as he is.
2. I'd like to see an MG that can go underwater. We don't have many underwater fights, and this one could be epic.
3. Depends on how it was handled.
4. Why not? A new location could be interesting.

HWYFA

1. Paul Ruebens in a fuiture instalment of Godzilla, as a nod to Pee Wee movie featuring Godzilla and Ghidorah?
2. Kaiju eating humans but portyrayed in a darkly comedic way, with one munching on people like chips?
3. Kaiju crapping offscreen and people having to deal with the huge piles of dung?
