Re: Worst Ideas For The Godzilla Franchise
^ Wrong thread. We're talking about bad ideas here, not incredible ones.
Semi-seriously, though, I wouldn't mind seeing The Giant Condor brought back as an actual scavenging vulture. I mean, dead kaiju need to go somewhere, right?

I actually wouldn't mind either. Maybe there can be packs of them like Kamacuras.

Re: Worst Ideas For The Godzilla Franchise
That was tapping into the link between dinosaurs and birds that was becoming more and more apparent at the time (and this was before Jurassic Park really popularized the idea in the public conscious!).Godzillian wrote:The only thing in the franchise that really made me go "this is stupid" was Godzilla being attracted to bird calls and that frequency in ROG
What's dumb to me is that they never thought to use it again after successfully trapping Godzilla.

Re: Worst Ideas For The Godzilla Franchise
a sequel to shin godzilla that has nothing to do with shin godzilla. And also flies for no explainable reason.

Re: Worst Ideas For The Godzilla Franchise
A post robot invasion world where girls in pink uniforms hunt down robots and Godzilla shows up just to walk around. There is also a light green Godzilla in addition to the normal Godzilla, probably a Moon Godzilla. The light green Godzilla has a slightly shorter tail. Most of the movie is told from the POV of a robot pretending to be out of commission whilst lying in the gutter.

-Having Ghidorah mutate from 3 little muppets.
-Sending Godzilla's cells to space, resulting in a SuperGodzilla knock-off.
-Having a specific nation being responsible for the monster's creation.
-A black hole weapon that buries things rather than absorbing them.
-Putting Adobe Premiere-type filters over the image without an ounce of criteria.

Re: Worst Ideas For The Godzilla Franchise
Giving Godzilla fully visible genitalia.
My most wanted fight ever is Discord vs Bobobo-bo bo-bobo.
Godzilla has a regen like Wolverine, a skin like Luke Cage, a hero aura like Captain America, a strength like Hulk, an unstoppability like Juggernaut, an immortality like Deadpool.
There's a 'God' in Godzilla for a reason...

That reminds me of another weakness from G vs. MGII that was used only once-in that film-and then never again. I can't remember what it was, though.

Things like these examples are part of the reason that I think it's best not to have too much continuity in these movies. Both of those ideas work in the context of the movies in which they were used, but become storytelling stumbling blocks if you believe that they can still work in the next movie and the next and the next.

Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

Re: Worst Ideas For The Godzilla Franchise
There might be a reason it was never brought up again. The whole two brains theory about dinosaurs was debunked around that time I believe, in fact its not even a nerve cluster. It's now theorised to be a sacral cavity that was used for storing glycogen.eabaker wrote:Blasting the nerve cluster in his lower body, you mean?mikelcho wrote:That reminds me of another weakness from G vs. MGII that was used only once-in that film-and then never again.

True they may have just overlooked it for future films but Toho may have also released the error and stopped mentioning it.

Re: Worst Ideas For The Godzilla Franchise
of course, it's about this young woman who can't sleep because Jeremy Irons keeps coming into her room at night and very arrestive tells her to "brush your teeth!". and everyone around thinks she making it up, this, of course, makes her snap and she starts to think she's Godzilla.Dr.Cgad wrote:a sequel to Shin Godzilla that has nothing to do with Shin Godzilla.

Re: Worst Ideas For The Godzilla Franchise
Hmmmmm…
Mutate him into a generic weaker monster, rename him Leviathan and kill him off. Oh wait that happened.
And I'd mention the idea of a film about kid playing with Godzilla's Son during a fever dream but unfortunately that actually came into existence to...

Re: Worst Ideas For The Godzilla Franchise
That's actually a great idea. Shin Gojira doen't need a sequel.

Re: Worst Ideas For The Godzilla Franchise
That's fantastic news. 'Shin Godzilla 2' would be the worst idea for the Godzilla franchise; trying to add a follow-up would be thematically and logistically problematic. It works best as a one-off.

Re: Worst Ideas For The Godzilla Franchise
I dunno... Bagan would be worthwhile just so that everyone would stop talking about Bagan.

Re: Worst Ideas For The Godzilla Franchise
Again, not talking about Shin Godzilla 2 which probably wouldn't work, but the business model.
