Gojira, Mosura, Kingu Ghidrah - Daikaiju Sokogecki (is that correct?) is still a mouthful.

It's more typical of Japanese titles though, which are usually longer anyway.Rody wrote:Gojira, Mosura, Kingu Ghidrah - Daikaiju Sokogecki (is that correct?) is still a mouthful.

Simple, the title already was a mouthful, one more name and it be too damn long for it NOT to be hilarious
sides.... fandom wise... GMK is more palatable than GBMK

Baragon was actually going to be in the title for GAV. So it should be GBAV.kiryu42red wrote:Desghidorah wrote:Simple, the title already was a mouthful, one more name and it be too damn long for it NOT to be hilarious

I thin it would be better off if they called GMK it Godzilla:Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. Short, sweet, and to the point.

I was under the impression that Godzilla was not going to be in the title of that version, at least if Kaneko had gotten his way, and it would simply have been ABV.TyrantGojira wrote: Baragon was actually going to be in the title for GAV. So it should be GBAV.

The actual abbreviation is GMKG, but I guess it doesn't roll off the tongue (er..keyboard) the way GMK does.Desghidorah wrote:sides.... fandom wise... GMK is more palatable than GBMK

Re: why was'nt baragon in the title of GMK?
Probably cause the title is long enough as it is and adding his name would just make it longer. I wonder why they didn't just come up with a shorter simpler name

because they didn't do that, someone had the great idea to start calling it GMK

Re: why was'nt baragon in the title of GMK?
All the Millennium films have pretty much the same titles as the Japanese titles, so this one stands out to people as it relates to which monsters are in the movie. Keep in mind though, the Japanese titles for other movies didn't always have every monster in them.
三大怪獣 地球最大の決戦 "Three Giant Monsters: Greatest Battle on Earth" (1964)
Technically the movie has 4 monsters, not 3. The title is probably referring to the 3 hero monsters joining forces, but still.
ゴジラ・エビラ・モスラ 南海の大決闘 "Godzilla · Ebirah · Mothra: Big Duel in the South Sea" (1966)
I don't think Mothra's part in this needed to be in the name. And I'm sure people will have their jokes about no love for Giant Condor.
ゴジラ • ミニラ • ガバラ オール 怪獣大進撃 "Godzilla · Minilla · Gabara: All Monsters Attack" (1969)
Only 3 monsters mentioned in the name while many from Monster Island made appearances.
地球攻撃命令 ゴジラ対ガイガン "Earth Destruction Directive: Godzilla Against Gigan" (1972)
* Godzilla & Anguirus vs. Gigan & King Ghidorah
ゴジラ対メガロ "Godzilla Against Megalon" (1973)
* Godzilla & Jet Jaguar vs. Megalon & Gigan
ゴジラ対メカゴジラ "Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla" (1974)
Anguirus & King Caesar weren't in this.
I guess if they kept the literal titles for the older ones people today might refer to Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster as "GEM" or Godzilla's Revenge as "GMG."
