Is it wrong that the kind of Engineers I know could actually put up a fight against some of the kaiju?
My most wanted fight ever is Discord vs Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.

In a kaiju world, the prisons would be less crowded. Send life sentence prisoners out to fight the monsters with the soldiers.

We'd have stronger materials and alloys for dealing with the monsters. These materials could also be used on automobiles to make them safer in a crash.

We'd have giant robots.

Imagine what we could build if we ever got our hands on some Space Titanium Alloy or any of the alien tech or Furtiruan tech. It'd be cool to take a monster that was killed and turn it into a cyborg weapon to fight off attacking monsters or invaders or the Red Bamboo army. We could also make negations with Mothra to protect humanity if we leave her island and worshipers alone.

I'd be a pilot for whatever anti-kaiju organization, that or a kaijuologist.

In G3 it's debated that the Gyaos exist to cut down human population, which would mean less polution and stuff. So I think they could have a purpose just in that creepy 'greater good' type way.

Creepy indeed. I hate Gyaos. The monsters, not the person. :freak:

But seriously imagine what could be built if we got our hands on Space Titanium Alloy? That shit has to be strong to withstand hits from monsters.

With space titanium, our military could actually stand a chance against monsters. Tanks and planes could take a beam and survive.

Bored in school? Go outside and rearrange the desks into Mothra's symbol. That would be fun :lol: .

I have wonder...what would wars be like? Tricking the enemy into intruding upon a monsters territory, or even pitting two monsters against each other? :freak:

You would make a fortune studying monsters since they want to know how to kill, capture or at least repel them, you'd make a fortune building their machines.

Business is a booming in a world of monsters, if you're working in the right field.

There'd probably be a lot of money in construction and demolition, too.

I'm bringing up Gamera again, but I think the Shibuya attack in G3 is a really good representation of what it would be like if giant monsters appeared out of nowhere. Nearly every one of their actions has some sort of horrible consequence for the people below. Like the falling chunks of burning Gyaos meat.

The idea of Monster Island being like a amusement/zoo island would be cool. Like jurassic park minus the break out and human nom snacks.

Welcome to Monster Island!

Whats that goat for? Gorosaurus thats who.

I love it. That's awesome. :lol:

I remember an awesome fan fic on the old forums that was basically the journal of a scientist working on Monster Island. He mentions how everyday people pay to take a boat ride around the island (be to dangerous for people to actually be on islands for obvious reasons) and how people get disappointed when Varan doesn't show up cause he rarely pops out of his under water caves. Reminds me of how Jurassic Park they were let down that the one dinosaur that later eats Noman didn't show itself.

Of course he also mentions that back on the mainland theirs a gift shop. So yeah Monster Island becomes a zoo. Considering how contained they were in DAM before the aliens showed up and how the monsters seemed content to live the rest of their days in peace on the islands after King Ghidorah's death it wouldn't be far fetched that they have a boat tour of the island.

If Jurassic Park would have made millions had it not be sabotaged, how much would Monster Island make as a zoo? And they'd save money on feeding some of the monsters since guys like Rodan just use the ocean to feed.

... I wouldn't be letting anyone near the island that didn't already need to be there. Just because it seems like the monsters are content, that doesn't mean their views of humanity has changed.

I mean, let's have a rundown as to how many of Monsterland's in-universe inmates are confirmed man-eaters:
- Rodan
- Varan
- Manda
- Baragon
- Kumonga
- Gorosaurus

That's six man-eaters. Giving tours, boat or otherwise, would be an insurance nightmare.

Outside of the barriers, dude. There's a force filed between the people and the monsters. Rodan couldn't get past it. ;)

It wasn't so much a force-field as much as it was a magnetic field created to skreeonk up his sense of flight direction whenever he got close to it.

God help them when Rodan realizes that all he needs to do is wade out into the ocean past the generators.

Ha, I'm more worried about guys like Kumonga. Somehow he made it to Mt;Fuji. At least Rodan stopped eating people in GTTHM when Mothra convinced him people would leave him alone if he helped her and Godzilla repel King Ghidorah. Kumonga probably only teamed up in hopes of a free meal.
