How come Anguirus was not in the Heisi series?

Zentenk, there was probably a time when I would have been distracted by a point like this too. However, I now understand that Godzilla was never intended to be grounded in hard facts and science. The franchise is arguably as much fantasy as it is sci-fi: when you try to rationalize and explain every unusual occurrence, it takes out the fun. Some things just need to be taken for granted.

I hope this helps.

Anguirus could easily have been in G vs MG 2, taking the place of Rodan.

by **Rody** » Mon May 07, 2012 2:05 pm

Okay, I could see that being done. I'm not sure how I would feel about that, though; I prefer Rodan.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind Anguirus being in place of Moguera in Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla. Granted, the script would need to have a major rewrite in order for Anguirus' role to fit, but I wouldn't have minded seeing Godzilla and Anguirus going up against Spacegodzilla.

A baby Anguirus hatches out of the egg and Godzilla raises him, then when Godzilla dies due to meltdown, Anguirus follows in his footsteps starring in his own movie.

Anguirus vs Mecha Anguirus could be one of them.

At least he didn't die. If they pit him in a Heisei film he would've died.

That would have been awesome, of course, but never would have happened. Anguirus has never been particularly popular in Japan.

Yeah, poor Rodan. I fear he will never be Godzilla's equal again.

No! That's not true! That's impossible!

Search your feelings; you KNOW it to be true!!

Actually, that sounds kind of weird coming me, the Rodan fanatic.

Rodan and Anguirus will not have strong roles again until MG, Mothra, and KG lose their popularity.

Just be glad it wasn't Anguirus playing the washed up corpse in Godzilla: Tokyo SOS.

Hence why I hope the baddie in LPG is Rodan.

Anguirus wasn't really ever popular in Japan. The main reason he was reused in 1972 was only because Rodan and Varan were in shitty condition. Not sure what drove his inclusion in GvMG though. Point being, Anguirus' popularity is much, MUCH more an American thing than a Japanese one. These movies are made for Japanese audiences, not American ones, so there ya go.

Man, Anguirus is one of my favs because as a kid I had Godzilla Raids Again. I watched that one so much it broke while I was rewinding it...

His roar is very chilling!

A little too early for rodan to make an appearance in the reboot. Maybe wait a movie or two(if the reboot is a success, which I believe it will) before including rodan into the possible series following the reboot.

by **Rody** » Tue May 15, 2012 7:58 am

Nah, I think Rodan is an EXCELLENT choice for Godzilla's first opponent.

Granted, I'm very biased in this opinion...

They need to forget about sequels and just make the best single film possible - then if it's a success worry about that stuff. I hate it when a movie feels like the trailer for its sequel. They could go all out and use Ghidorah for all I care - the movie just needs to be good.

How is it too early to use Rodan? He's one of the few who can be used in the first film since he's origin is simple, the same as Godzilla's in fact, he's not like Mechagodzilla where you have to save him for a future film.

I would love to tell you what I think but I'm afraid that it might lead to a pointless arguement that's completely off topic. :-x

There isn't gonna be some pointless argument, I just wanna know, why do you think it's too early to use Rodan in the first film?
