Okay, that's just naive. Toho knows there's a market for dubbed versions of these movies. They are pushing Godzilla internationally like never before. They're licensing these extremely marketable, decades old, usually family friendly movies for American viewers. Dubs are essential. Yet here we are in 2022 and it's legally difficult outside of old home video releases to see the American dubbed versions for many of the Showa films. Coincidently, however, they have no problem using dubs they commissioned themselves, which tells me they're okay with dubs....as long they created them themselves.

Toho is okay with dubs that will line up exactly with their own prints of these movies. But the only existing dubs for movies like Godzilla Raids Again, Mothra vs Godzilla and Ghidrah were not only NOT commissioned by Toho but they can't line up with the Japanese versions. Until Toho creates new dubs for these films (which they won't) we are never going to see these versions again, because Toho doesn't want them out there.

Toho is well aware of the market. They just don't care.

Toho probably feels it can coast off more modern Godzilla films. Use dubs of the Heisei films and MV films and by the time fans want to see the ahowa films they won't mind sub versions.

Maybe someone at Toho international isn't too keen on phony asian accents. .-. Toho prefers the American cut of Godzilla 2000 to their own international one and has essentially replaced it.

Germany and France get all the cool releases. I wonder what a phony asian accent sounds like in German and French.

That's actually a good point. Maybe some of the Asian accents are considered not PC safe with a few exceptions. Maybe it's a combination of different factors like rights issues, logistics, damaged prints, ect....
GVK: TNE is a modern day 70s Showa Godzilla movie. Being a massive budget modern blockbuster CGI film instead of traditional 70s tokusatsu techniques doesn't change that. Fight me.

Anguirus and Godzilla being friends in the Showa series is cannon. Deal with it.

Monsterverse is not similar to either MCU nor Bayformers just because all three are big budget CGI blockbuster franchises.

I'm being a bit facetious when I say the phony asian accents angle, but now that its brought up I didn't think of that. But in regards to damaged prints, no way. I am very sure they have access to them. Like Legion says, they just don't care.

The design might not even get a reveal until much later, either. I do expect a poster of some kind before the second half of the year, though.

Though, as OGMechaMothra points out, a teaser is possible with the release of Shin Kamen Rider.

I doubt it. I don't expect a teaser to June or July. Remember how Shin was marketed.

Only leak I have ever seen was that leak the day of the announcement which is most likely (99.9%) fake.. other than that.. it has been very quite.

It's against site rules to ask for leaks. If you want to look for leaks, you'll have to do it somewhere else.

While I really enjoyed Shin Ultraman, I hope Toho works on the cgi more as SU definitely had some issues there and that SU is not the “standard” in that department going forward.

I suspect it’ll be better. We don’t know too much, but I recall feeling and seeing Shin Ultraman had a lower budget than Shin Godzilla. While effort was clearly put into cinematography, and the visuals aren’t the worst thing in the world, they did feel like a downgrade even compared to 2016’s Shin Godzilla.

At least they sort of proved they can deliver fast and fluid fights; the Gabora fight proved that for me.

Standalone as in he's the only monster, or stand alone as in its the only time Godzilla has shown up in this continuity?

Not sure but I take it as this movie is self contained and this is the first time he's appeared.

I'm really intrigued. Could be an interesting companion piece with Shin Godzilla if it focuses more the social and humanitarian side of a kaiju attack.

I love what I'm hearing if anything I'm sorta surprised I figured Takashi Yamazaki would make a slightly more lighthearted film but based what LSD Jellyfish said months earlier in context of what post war Japan was like it makes since and I'm thrilled.
