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.

And look where helping humanity got him: dumped on an alien planet against his will, placed under mind control, and is now serving a life-sentence without the possibility of parole on Monster Alcatraz.

No regrets there, I'm sure.

Yeah that was a dick move on the humans part. *insert awesome face here*

But seriously it's better he be on an island where there's plenty of food and allowed to fly somewhat then roam free around the world and risk him attacking again. It's safer for him AND us that way. Besides he returned to the island, he probably just wants to be left alone and lived the rest of his life on the island.

Eh, I wouldn't exactly call some Great Whites and dolphins plenty of food. Especially when they wise up that they're being preyed upon and high-tail it out of there.

Did you see the size of that dolphin? Had to be engineered. And if they can keep monsters on an island whose to say the same can't be said of whales, dolphins and fish?

But I digress. Be funny seeing zoo's having a pissing contest.

San Diego Zoo: "We have the last Pandas."

Monster Island: "We have the only Manda."

San Diego Zoo: "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

PETA :P :lol: And besides, that certainly wasn't a dolphin, or a sea-mammal for that matter, tail-fin was wrong.

But yeah, the zoo pissing contests would be funny as hell.

Despite the danger, people would want to see the monsters. It's not everyday you see a giant dinosaur or insect. Money from the tourists could be used to fund research or to aid those who've lost homes due to monster attack.

Of course, not all people would like Monsterland. In G:TS, you had a radical group try to set the monsters free. There would be real life groups protesting and demanding the kaiju be allowed to live free. The fact that these creatures could kill millions wouldn't matter to them.
