I would argue Keizer wasn't a Super Monster as Godzilla was a Super Monster in FW and he owned Keizer.

Well, it was more Super Monster vs. Super Monster, but Godzilla proved to be the more 'SUPER' in that case. :lol:

So, how about Bagan...?

Well, sounds interesting, maybe we'll get one or not, but the idea seems cool.

Wow, it seems Final Wars was so forgettable that some of us have forgotten that Keizer G totally curb-stomped Godzilla until the latter got a power boost. If anything, that makes him an super-super monster or some shit.

Although I said I wanted a new monster for G3, I'm somewhat conflicted about that due to the tempting idea of seeing more classic monsters portrayed by big-budget Hollywood effects... I mean, just imagine how badass Biollante or Destoroyah could look!

Keizer Ghidorah stomped a tired Godzilla. When ever they were on the same playing Field Godzilla stomped him.

I would like to see a aquatic kaiju or at least a kaiju who can go into the water. Love for a underwater battle and see how Godzilla fights underwater. Despite Godzilla being a amphibious monster, we rarely actually see him fight underwater. (His battle against Battra is the only real one I can remember while the others were really quick or happen off camera.)

Some ass jockey decided to not crop dust the crowd, dude let off some straight napalm and cleared a 20 ft radius and didn’t flinch, he just moved up closer. I prayed Sandra wouldn’t catch a whiff, talk about Endgame....just gross.

Dunno about it being the "same playing field", Godzilla got a massive power boost from Ozaki. Kinda like competing in the Olympics while on steroids. :lol:

Monster X was boosted by X which cause him to transform into Keizer Ghidorah.

Boosted by who/what?
I don't recall anyone ever shooting a giant beam of Keizer energy into Monster X.

I didn't think that was implied as we never see energy flowing to Monster X the way it does when Ozaki powers up Godzilla. He seemed to just be doing the "bad guy screams in rage as his base is destroyed around him" thing. Also, Monster X does not transform right away, but a few minutes later.

I'm not sure what was going on but I remember it was said X gave his power to allow the transformation on the old Tohokingdom boards and everyone pretty much agreed with that.

I just never got that impression myself. Besides the transformation occurring a few minutes after the Xilian leader's demise, I think if they'd wanted to imply a link they would have shown energy flowing to Monster X or something. But we're drifting off topic a bit.

An enemy that can be in danger in land, sea and sky would be really interesting to see. Could rank up the stakes against Godzilla (and any other kaiju that could team up with him in the story).

I second this. Water battles have been very limited in the past due to the risks involved with using suits in the water. With CGI, we don't have that limitation.

Maybe with Rodan and Mothra, we could maybe ALSO have sky battles. Seems possible, and cool to imagine.

Not impossible at all, it's been done in the likes of Gamera 3 and Ultraman: The Next.
Modern Hollywood effects would greatly benefit its execution also.

I like the MUTOs but frankly you can't have a Godzilla series without Mothra or King Ghidorah showing up at some point. They're as part of the franchise as he is.
That being said, I feel like 2 bringing in familiar faces and 3 doing that while also introducing a new one would be the best middle ground.

Seems very obvious to think that if there more than two flying kaiju, they'd address that. Would be a nice change of pace from land battles.

Up there with the sea-kind of battles (That'd be actually kind of cool to see with the budget of the Legendary series).

I want more original monsters, I loved the MUTO's.
Sadly, I must make you aware that anything I say is my opinion.

Contrary to popular belief, I did like Godzilla 2014

Funny, considering that many people didn't like them, design wise.
