The Return of Mothra Leo
I often think about the Rebirth of Mothra films. They were... well, they were definitely movies. They weren't anything spectacular by any means, but they had some cool ideas. One thing in particular I've always liked is Mothra Leo. Sure he was a little overpowered, but I've always had an appreciation for him. I'd really like to see him to return some day, especially alongside Godzilla. Or imagine twin larvae, one transforming into Mothra and the other into Mothra Leo. How cool would that be? Would anybody else here also like to see him return, or am I the only one?

Oh definitely! Mothra Leo deserves a return in some capacity.

Re: The Return of Mothra Leo
Agreed. And I really want to see twin larvae go imago- so the idea of brother and sister, traditional Mothra and Mothra Leo, would be a great way to pull that off!

Re: The Return of Mothra Leo
I'd be all for it, preferably in movies that are less kid-centric.

Re: The Return of Mothra Leo
Yeah that was the main issue I had with the movies since they were aimed for kids 10 and up. Had they not of been I feel they could've been better. I really only watch them for the main villain monsters especially Desghidorah and Dagahra who to me are the highlights of the films.GigaBowserG wrote:I'd be all for it, preferably in movies that are less kid-centric.

I’d be all for Leo making a comeback, whether in his own thing or with Godzilla.

Re: The Return of Mothra Leo
Due to the constant screaming children, the dub of Rebirth of Mothra 2 is one of the most horrific things to ever fall upon my ears. Which sucks because I think Aqua Mothra is cool as fuck.GodzillaFan1990's wrote:Yeah that was the main issue I had with the movies since they were aimed for kids 10 and up.

That camouflage the Leo Larval does and the GFW Kamacuras does? Yeah let's actually have invisibility used better the next time it's put in a kaiju film.

Re: The Return of Mothra Leo
I'll have to disagree. Mothra Leo was a fitting character for the ROM films, but I don't think he should return. Mothra Leo feels like a stand alone character to me, and I wouldn't want to see him costarring with Godzilla or some other big name.

Re: The Return of Mothra Leo
I kind of just think of Leo as an extension of Mothra rather than his own distinct character, but sure, why not? Any male Mothra that hatches might as well be named Leo as a cool nod to the fans.

Re: The Return of Mothra Leo
I wouldn't mind seeing Mothra Leo come back, but he'd have to be altered slightly. Like, have it look like him (Rebirth 2's Rainbow being my favorite incarnation), but just call him (or her) "Mothra" and not "Leo-Rainbow-Armor-Super" Mothra. And they'd probably have to de-power him a little, too, so that way he doesn't just solve the entire movie with roughly 6,000 laser beams. Maybe make him more along the lines of Mothra '92 - wing scales, antennae beams, and some type of "ultimate Seal of Mothra" attack.
