Could Anyone See Toho Create A Modern Showa Era?

I've heard about the Monster Graveyard being a plot point in the recent Ultraman series/movies. I think the idea of such a place is a very interesting one. Tsuburaya really knows how to handle their monsters compared to Toho.

I'd like to see something with the monster status quo being established instead of various explanations happening every time they appear. I'd love to see a movie that has Godzilla "defending" Japan from various other monsters like Baragon, Ebirah, Gaira, the Yog trio, Magma, basically all the "simple" monsters and have the plot revolve around the idea that the population views Godzilla differently. The military views him as a threat, while the public views him as a hero, but he really doesn't care for the humans and is protecting his territory. I think it'd be a nice throwback to the 60's films and would put an interesting twist on the anti-hero angle Godzilla's had in the last couple years.

But Toho's not ever gonna take risks like that sadly.

We will be lucky to get three films out of LP. Especially considering the high budgets. I expect Toho to be player after LP is finished. CGI gets better & cheaper every year, so it will be easier for Toho to make these types of films.

I love 60's Showa, and the 70's had a good imagination. So I'm all for a Showa re-boot.

Actually, we'll be lucky to get one Godzilla film from LP.

I'm pretty sure we'll see at least one. Legendary probably spent decent money to secure the rights and all of the associated work to just let it all slide away. Of course, I could be wrong ...

LP will deliver. But, I wouldn't be surprised if this project & team are scrapped, and LP has to start over from scratch.
