Upcoming Projects You’re Excited for Most

[tbeasley]

Wasn't sure where to put this but since 3 of the 5 involved are MonsterVerse related I figured I'd put it here.

Which of the following Godzilla/kaiju projects in development are you excited for most?

Or are you completely burnt out on the current kaiju renaissance?

Your choices are...

- 30th Godzilla film
- GvK sequel
- Skull Island
- Apple TV+ series
- GAMERA -Rebirth-

[Spuro]

GvK sequel and Gamera: Rebirth.

I can't say I'm especially interested in Toho's newest film. The Reiwa era has been largely a miss for me. Shin was good, but it was only good in spite of an awful take on Godzilla. The Anime Trilogy was a little more traditional with its monster, but it was also poorly a structured mess, devoid of life, too edgy for its own good, and filled with a cast of unlikable dickheads. And we don't talk about Singular Point.

We don't know anything about the Skull Island anime and I'm honestly not even convinced it's coming out. We've heard nothing about it.

[Handsome Shrek]

GvK sequel by far. More Monsterverse movies are always a good thing

The Apple+ show is captivating, but I'm reserving any excitement for later until I see more promo. I'm not really into anime, and never been into Gamera.

I'd be more excited for the new Japanese movie than I am now if I knew there was a surefire way I could watch it legally

[Cryptid_Liker]

Hourglass and the 30th Godzilla are kinda tied for me, although that may change as we get more promo material. Third place goes to GAMERA -Rebirth- for obvious reasons. And after that, I'm moderately excited for Godzilla and Kong. Last and IMHO least, there's the Skull Island cartoon. I'll watch it but I haven't been given good reason to really care.

TL;DR/Ranking:
Hourglass (Apple TV+ series)
Blockbuster Kaiju Movie
GAMERA -Rebirth-
Godzilla and Kong
Skull Island

[Legion1979]

The new Toho film and the next MV movie are too far away for me to care. I'd be more interested in Gamera is it wasn't an anime. Everything else...meh.

[JAGzilla]

The 30th Godzilla film is in the lead by far, since it's A) new Japanese live-action Godzilla, and B) excitingly unpredictable. Anything could potentially happen.

Then the GvK sequel. I didn't care for GvK at all (relatively speaking), and this is in all probability going to be very similar. But it's a new movie with Godzilla and Kong, so I'll take it.

Then Gamera: Rebirth. I have low expectations for an anime, but I'm very glad the big turtle is coming back in any form.

The Skull Island anime and Monsterverse TV show are much lower on my list. I don't expect anything from either, but I'd love to be pleasantly surprised.

Is it worth throwing Shin Kamen Rider on here too?


I’d say…

G&K
Apple Show
Shin Kamen Rider
Gamera anime (I’m a BIG Gamera fan but this is such an unknown at this time and the anime aspect kind of kills my buzz a little)
New Toho G film
Kong anime

[AtomicMorningBreath]

In order from most to least, I'd have to say:

1. Apple+ series
2. GvK sequel
3. Toho Godzilla
4. Kong anime
5. Gamera

I'm most excited for the Apple+ series because it sparks my curiosity the most. I really don't know what to expect and I'm genuinely curious to see how they handle the story. Will they bring back the G14 design? Will it contradict established film continuity? Will it introduce new creatures? Will it feature previously mentioned MV monsters? I can't wait to see how it all unfolds.

The GvK sequel excites me because it is a nice, pleasant surprise. I'm not saying I expected the MV to end after GvK, but if it did, I wouldn't have been surprised and would have been satisfied with how it concluded.

I'm looking forward to the Toho film because I can't' wait to see what fresh take they use for the character. Also very curious to see what they come up with for the design.

I really don't have any feelings for the Kong anime. Just curious to see how they tie it into the greater MV.

I like Gamera, but I think I would have been more excited for a full-length film. It's still exciting to have the big lug back though.

[tbeasley]

Is it worth throwing Shin Kamen Rider on here too?

Almost did but decided to keep it to giant monsters. Gamera already stretches the rules a bit by being non-Toho.

[Janjira-York]

the tv series from apple I dpoubt the larger monster verse will ever go back to the thrilling 14 theme and feel, its the odd one out nowdays so this might fit the bill


Gvk sequel is probably going to be more of the same as gvk/kotm, skull island is also kinda on my radar, as for the japan media well not as exited those are never going away but the license on outsiders like american hands is never a sure thing and always peak my interest.



I hope everything in the list turns up being fucking bitchin tho

[king_ghidorah]

In a way I wish they were just developing the tv show now while paying attention to social media. There seems to be A LOT of appreciation for the 2014 film and Godzilla design lately and it would have been nice to Legendary to see this and maybe work that into their plans.

It still might happen, but I’m a little doubtful at the moment.

Still. My two favorite MV projects are each getting sequels so I am very excited to see what we get.

Plus. Kurt Russell is the man. Sticking him in a Godzilla project is a dream come true.

[LSD Jellyfish]

1. Next Toho Godzilla Film
2. Godzilla vs. Kong 2
3. Gamera Rebirth
4.Apple TV Show
5. Shin Kamen Rider
6. Kong TV Show

While I'm sure Godzilla vs. Kong 2 will be exciting and a fun watch, I also feel like we know what to expect. I'm more interested in an unknown than a rehash. If Godzilla Singular Point Season 2 existed, I'd rank it about the same as Godzilla vs. Kong 2.

[Voyager]

30th Godzilla film? Aren’t there 36…

[Fropston]

For me, the list is something like this:
1. Gamera rebirth
2. Toho Godzilla film
3. Shin Kamen Rider
4. Godzilla vs. Kong Sequel
5. Kong animated show
6. Apple TV show
With a hypothetical Singular Point Season 2 fitting in around Shin Kamen Rider (either above or below) depending on my mood.

[JAGzilla]

30th Godzilla film? Aren’t there 36…

There are only 29 real Godzilla films. The rest are glorified fanfiction.

Yes, but also kinda... not really... the American movies and the anime are just very different beasts from the traditional practical effects Toho Godzilla. I accept, embrace, and like them, but I'd be lying if I said I don't involuntarily keep them off to the side in their own category

[Legion1979]

30th Godzilla film? Aren’t there 36…

Apparently not according to Toho. In the theater before I saw GxMG on Godzilla Day last month there were trivia slides with various questions on them. One asked how many Godzilla films has Toho made?

The answer? 29. I truly believe Toho doesn't count the anime trilogy.

[Gigantis]

Toho doesn't count the American movies when it comes to their own number of G Films. Every American project is its own thing in there eyes, and I guess that also goes for anime projects.

Well… the days of fully practical Godzilla are over. The fact that a few years ago, people actually thought King of the Monsters would have suits because Michael Dougherty mentioned practical effects in a tweet he made is odd
