Final wars just needs a few elements edited out to be a decent film.
In Final Warriors 2004, I trimmed some stuff around the Xilien arrival (I chopped out the entire UFO experts scene), got rid of the unnecessary "so let me get this straight" bit of dialogue after Gordon's plan, cut Anna's farewell (she just kind of disappears from the movie), excised the "why is Godzilla destroying the town?" scene and the following dialogue between Ozaki and Miyuki, and cut the entire Kaiser subplot, which really slows down the third act. At 96 minutes, aside from being mostly a gag re-edit, a lot of the edits really help the film pacing wise.
Man Id actually like to see this. I feel like because of the kaiser thing the fight between Godzilla and Monster X got torn into too many parts.

So was Final Wars.

And which is worse - a movie aimed towards kids being silly, or a movie that was supposed to be an epic send off for a film icon being silly?
Now that 80 is gone I want the Texans to become the 80s Pistons bad boys. Every team in the league hates us because we beat the fuck out of them, play dirty, embrace the villain role. I want to truly become Patriots south with a more pissed off defense. I'm talking when tbe Rock turned heel. I want kids crying in front of their TVs while Swag poses over broken prettyboy quarterbacks."G-g-get up, Foles. Please get up?"

Many godzilla films have a lot of humor especially the Showa ones. And while GFW had a lot of silly moments none of them were significant towards the plot or offensive.
I'm really done defending final wars, I have my opinion and it's just getting annoying at this point.

Also I too would like to see this version but I'm going to make my own cut soon myself.
