What Era do you consider this movie ?

[KaijuFiend]

^Agreed. Legendary Duology if only one sequel, Trilogy if only two sequels, Series if we get more than two sequels.

it's a new era, but i dunno what to call it yet. depending on the number of potential sequels, and if Toho puts their workboots back on, i'd call it something other than legendary. maybe post millennium, or something to that effect, because i think we're moving toward a world where Godzilla has totally lost his initial metaphor (yes, it happened long ago, but he's still in the "force of nature/folly of man" boat), and it's going to be likely Toho's last run if they try anything. i'm feeling apocalyptic about it.

Simple, the Legendary era

[tymon]

The Legendary Era it is. All these names - Showa, Heisei, Millennium - started somewhere, and this one started right here in this thread, seeing how it's the first discussion of this topic we've had since the sequel was confirmed (which is obviously what sets the distinction between a one-off film like GINO or an "era").

This is a moment of G-history, is what I'm sayin.

meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh i can't argue with the logic of tymon here, but the only reason i don't wanna label this the "legendary" era yet is because i assume that the success will earn us a few more Toho movies, and i'm going to count this movie, the sequel, and subsequent legendary/Godzilla productions together (including those that Toho might do) in this one era.

For now, I'm going to call it the "Legendary Era".

Works for me.

Shouldn't it have WB in it's name since WB controls the sequels?

[XxachiganxX]

Legendary Era sounds perfect!

Toho won't do any more Japanese Godzilla movies for a long time. If Legendary's Godzilla made them a ton of money without their efforts, why would they now go out of their way to make their own movies when they could just sit back and let America do all the work? Especially since a sequel is already confirmed.

Anyways, I won't call this an era until we actually get a good look at the sequel. The Legendary Era sounds like a good name, though.

Idk, the announcement of the sequel was done on Legendary's site, the Nerdist. I have a feeling the deal was more complicated than we were lead to believe because it sounds like they're staying onboard. Admittedly I might be wrong about that, but I really hope I'm not for a variety of reasons.

Plus "Warner era" doesn't have the same ring to it . Tull came up with a good name for a his company, and fitting of the Godzilla name.

Legendary era sounds good, but with only one confirmed movie (sequel isn't green-lit yet) I'm still putting this in the millennium era.

i'm sure they'll be in on it after the fact. i didn't mean to imply one might come out anytime soon, though. just sayin', i'm not totally sure they won't ever light up the studio again and give us some more Godzilla.

[JGAR]

Legendary should make this into a trilogy.
