Re: Monsters Least Likely to Appear Again?
Any script can come up with some way to reintroduce a kaiju. Whether it will make sense is the question.
Back to the main topic, Varan is unlikely to make any appearances. Varan has one mediocre film, which is pretty obscure to non fans.The monster's cameo in DAM is a there and you miss it role. Varan, while a well designed kaiju, has little hope of reoccurring in film.

Re: Monsters Least Likely to Appear Again?
I dunno, Varan's cult status kinda pushes him a head of guys like Maguma or even Megaguirus.
There have been like three projects that planned to include him; Varan could get lucky one day.

Re: Monsters Least Likely to Appear Again?
Varan is also pretty popular figure wise, at least the psychedelic vinyls, and has made appearances in the comics. What's cool about the more obscure kaiju is Toho can take them, tweak them a bit, and throw them back in the fray without worrying about offending anyone. Look what they did with Mougera and Baragon.
And sure, Varan was a mediocre film, one of the worst IMO. But it came out in 1958, iirc. That's still during the "golden era" so whether he's well remembered or not he's still associated with the classic kaiju scene. Plus Varan doesn't have a complicated backstory, like Biollante, MKG, or Destroyah, so it's easy to throw him in without changing much if anything at all.

How about Gigan? As popular as he is, it seems like both Toho and Legendary are going for a more "uber-realistic" route than a cyborg-space-chicken would allow.

Definitely any of the RoM monsters, heck you probably won't even see them in any of the IDW comics as Toho hasn't given them the rights to use them, quite a shame because especially Dagahra has potential.

Re: Monsters Least Likely to Appear Again?
As much as I like Titanosaurus and would enjoy seeing him in a future film -- especially Legendary because that would look cool and he's a good brawler -- I don't think it is meant to be.
Megaguirus or Orga would make creepy additions to a film, but again they seem unlikely to appear again.
Whether the weapon of alien invaders or humanity's defense against Godzilla, I don't see a particular type of MechaGodzilla appearing again. Another MechaGodzilla will be of its own type, as someone pointed out.
Varan and Maguma seem unlikely, as presented earlier.
Giant Condor will never appear again. Its glory must be detained to a single appearance, lest it conquer the peasants King Ghidorah, Mothra, Rodan and Godzilla. It sits on its perch, divebombing Godzilla between movies. Never will it appear again.

I would love a legendary Titano, Orga, and Megagurius.

Re: Monsters Least Likely to Appear Again?
I like Dagahra also. In some ways he's like Space Godzilla and Hedorah. Two daikaiju that had lots of potential, but got messed up in some flicks that didn't tap said potential. A high seas conflict with Godzilla would be cool to see.GodzillaFan1990's wrote:Definitely any of the RoM monsters, heck you probably won't even see them in any of the IDW comics as Toho hasn't given them the rights to use them, quite a shame because especially Dagahra has potential.

How'd Hedorah not live up to his potential? He was one of the few monsters from the Showa series that was ACTUALLY a threatThe One and Only wrote:I like Dagahra also.

He was creepy, deadly, and way more memorable than any of the RoM monsters.
Hedorahs a monster I COULD see being used again... someday.
Monster X is a monster I dont expect to ever see again
I'm not sure where he stands on the popularity scale for others, but he's just kinda "eh" for me.
I cant really think of anything Monster X should show back up in, unles an anime were to be made

Re: Monsters Least Likely to Appear Again?
I agree. He just feels so Final Wars, that it's hard to imagine him in any other film. Plus Toho obviously loves Ghidorah, so I don't see why they'd use Monster X when they could use Ghidorah. Unless we get a Final Wars remake down the road or something crazy like that, which itself is highly unlikely to happen.Lain Of The Wired wrote: Monster X is a monster I dont expect to ever see again

Re: Monsters Least Likely to Appear Again?
I can't see Destoroyah happening again. He worked as a one off "Doomsday" like opponent for Godzilla's last film (at the time). It would feel cheap to bring him back.
I can't believe that Godzilla was the only surviving member of its species, but if we continue conducting nuclear tests, it's possible that another Godzilla might appear somewhere in the world again.

Re: Monsters Least Likely to Appear Again?
Hedorah was a threat. But the Smog Monster got saddled with a film that was not too well regarded by either the studio or fans for awhile. Although the last decade he's along with his debut flick has garnered a bit more respect since.Lain Of The Wired wrote:How'd Hedorah not live up to his potential?

I'd personally love to see him return... he's essentially made to be Godzilla's enemy. Imagine how amazing he'd look with modern effects, too.GalacticPetey wrote:I can't see Destoroyah happening again.

We can be sure that the giant sea snake will never reappear. It was a decent enemy for Kong, but not that interesting.

Definitely agree with this. This another case of, "If they're going to use X, why wouldn't they use Y?" In this case, if they want a sea serpent, why wouldn't they use Manda?edgaguirus wrote:We can be sure that the giant sea snake will never reappear.

Re: Monsters Least Likely to Appear Again?
Monsters like Giant Condor IMO have a better chance of appearing than things like Orga cause they can make a quick cameo and don't need a real explanation as towards their existence.

Monster X and Orga. Don't know the level of Orgas fandom following, but he never really wowed me. Monster X felt rushed to me and lazy. Keizer G, well has always been a recycled des g to me.
