Jet Jaguar updated for modern times?

Postby KaijuDuke » Fri Apr 08, 2011 10:21 pm

Yo, would any of you like to see Jet Jaguar return in another Godzilla film someday hypothetically speaking? And if so, what sort of changes would you like made to him, if any, to make him a more credible character in the much more serious modern Godzilla films? MechaG and Moguera got updated, don't see why he couldn't too, though I think he'd need a major makeover XD

The only way I can see JJ coming back in a modern day film is if they go the corny route.

JJ wouldn't be JJ without the cheese-factor.

Jet Jaguar is very much a product of his time. You can't pull shit like "I guess he re-programmed himself to grow bigger!" anymore. Having him be a human sized hero is lame, having him stay huge is lame, and turning him into some kind of transformer is also lame.

To update him for modern times, Toho would have to make him look like an elderly Jack Nicholson.

Well, I just figure that if Moguera and MechaG got updated as do so many other Toho monsters and mechs, that Jet could do it too. He'd be different perhaps, but thats to be expected since he only made one appearance and times have changed. I'd like to see an attempt made rather than have him remain on the bench forever, if Moguera could come back and get a cool update for the Heisei series, and MechaG keeps getting updated, I don't see why Jet couldn't too.

They even brought back the Gotengo afterall

Maybe have Jet Jaguar be a giant megazord type deal with a smaller robot that pilots it.

I would love to see a modern update for Jet Jaguar. I can see him working as a Iron Man type of suit.

*cue horrible onstage accident*
We can rebuild him. We have the technology... but he may end up looking a bit goofy...

I keep thinking of Jet Alone from NGE but I know some fans would hate that.

Really the only modern film I can see him being in is GFW since that film tried (and failed) to be corny like the late showa films.

If he did get updated he would need a new origin, powers, and appearance. Basically like MOGUERA. I doubt anyone thought he would return and Moguera did so there is hope for JET JAGUAR.

Yeah, if he was given the Moguera treatment it could work 8-)

Like Dino Master's JJ design. Yeah just because there was one Godzilla homage in the series, that does mean that the Angels or the Eva units should have a Kajiu design to them. I hate when people re-design any of the Angels and have them look like a Toho Kajiu.

Pffft, please.. Jet Jaguar isn't a Gundam dude, and should never look like one.

Well, he doesn't need to look like Moguera or Gundam or whatever, I just think his look and arsenal could be updated just as Mogueras or MechaG's looks have been over time.

Why does he need an arsenal? Isn't JJ just fine knowing martial arts? :(

I agree with this. Give him a beam if necessary, but don't load him with weaponry like Mechagodzilla.
