I think it would be cool to see something like an episodic series following jr and his exploits. Like seeing him battle updated, future versions of classic kaiju even as a short form web series or something

I agree. Toho should get on that. The mostly positive reception towards the short says it all.

The Alien one which was talked about being the backstory for Ghidorah in GvKG. I also believe there could have been a sequel which was talked about where this KG would fight Godzilla. ‘Emperor Ghidorah’ was a namer tossed about.

The backstory is that the Dorat’s DNA came from the corpse of an alien Ghidorah.

None of it is confirmed, and I’m just going off concepts for a cancelled film.

Alien Ghidorah is in an unused script and a manga I believe.

It’s not like Toho has re-used ideas from the cutting room floor in the past.

I am 70% sure that the ground level disaster scenes in Magnitude 7.9 from 1980 were reused from the unmade The Resurrection Of Godzilla.
