My thoughts on a possible Godzilla 2 plot

[NewBloodGodz]

The world debates whether or not to let Godzilla be, as well as the legitimacy of the world governments' proclamations. In an effort to contain Godzilla, they propose a Monster Island idea, and two other giant monsters surfaced, one being Mothra, the other being Rodan. Godzilla, however, stays in the trenches and so, they attempt to lure him out by having these two monsters fight him on the island.

Meanwhile, a group of NASA scientists find this moon near Jupiter that has a similar atmosphere to the Earth 250 million years ago, and it contains a lone monster. The scientists either do this as a last ditch effort to kill Godzilla or to test some stupid experiment, but they take sound samples of the MUTO and shoot the transmission to that moon, and the monster they find hears these calls as a challenge, because King Ghidorah, in my opinion, is the apex predator of his own domain. He killed the weaklings and parasites, and feeds off radiation like Godzilla, but he went overboard and killed every other creature on the satellite moon. So hearing the MUTO calls gets him in a frenzy and he escapes Jupiter's orbit, gains gravity bolts from the solar winds, destroys planets along the way before landing on Earth and challenging Godzilla after the other two monsters fight him. The apex predator of Earth, and a contender from space. It would work, and it would be flipping sick, because involving how huge Godzilla is, King Ghidorah could still tower over him.
For the most part, Ghidorah always did.
So the prospect of one of those solar bodies being ruled by King Ghidorah would be sci-fi, yes, but it would be grounded in realism if they went the route I mentioned.
But I could picture Godzilla wouldn't want to help the humans after this like in Ghidorah from the 1960s until it ends as an all-out battle where Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan go toe-to-toe with Ghidorah. Military jets firing at Ghidorah to offer some distraction so Godzilla can get the drop on him.

Rough idea but what do you guys think?

Excellent, I really like it.

How does Godzilla fight something that blew up planets? Why the flying fuck would they broadcast Muto calls to an unknown entity? How does King Ghidora fly through space and not take 20 years to get to Earth?

[NewBloodGodz]

I tried applying bits of Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster to the plot, sorry.

[morgoth]

I'll be honest the plot is rough and needs work, but I really like where you're going.

They could always make up some scientific mumbo jumbo about how the solar winds that gave him his gravity beams also gave him his flight or whatever, just like they did for Godzilla's atomic breath. Of course, it'd be easier (and more plausible) just to have him sail through space in a meteor, but whatever, I like where this is going.

Answer: It's a movie.

Bull answer. If we just write gaping plotholes off as "it's a movie", why bother with logic at all? Why not have Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan come out of nowhere and defeat Ghidorah at the end? It's no more bullshit than Godzilla defeating a monster that can apparantly fly between worlds in a short period of time and blow them up.

There's a difference between fantasy and bad writing.

I specifically said it was a rough idea. There's a difference between bad writing and fine tuning.

You're taking it to an extreme. Godzilla himself couldn't exist. King Ghidorah has always been a space monster yet there's no way he could survive in space etc. For movies like these, there needs to be a kernel of logic before being creative.

[TheLastGezora]

Would it really be too unbelievable to simply have Ghidorah show up from deep space?

Not bull logic at all, though I appreciate the imitation.

Godzilla and Ghidorah could not exist based off of the scientific principles we currently understand. That does not mean they could not exist period, anymore than the fact that we did not understand how stars could function in the 12th century meant that they could not function in the 12th century.

But that's completely beside the point.

The issue here is that Godzilla simply could not compete with a monster capable of literally destroying planets and travelling between stars in a timely manner. It would not be an issue of more monsters helping him; Ghidorah could simply demolish the planet from orbit without coming within visual radius of Godzilla. Thus it would be completely impossible to have a movie based on that concept.

In that case, there is no "kernel of logic".

I totally like the idea of Ghidorah being an interplanetary kaiju, but it needs to be done in a way that won't leave fans and audience-members going "Why didn't he just use that faster-than-light travel to zip around Godzilla and kill him?"

This was just a fun plot from a fan. Not the actual movie plot.

I'm aware. Sorry if I came off harsh.

[Underworld54]

Good thought put into it but quite frankly I don't like it, not one bit.

Not the word I'd use

Anyway, it's an interesting idea.

Well then, I guess it's a good thing we all keep some words to ourselves, hmmm?

[Lain Of The Wired]

I like the idea of Ghidorah also being an apex predator, which gives a reason for him to attack Godzilla.

I kind of want Ghidorah to be the "Godzilla of space" so to speak, another being that feels the need to be on top of the chain.

He totally could if, y'know, the writer wants him to. I mean if people can accept top tier Ultraman kaiju and countless anime mechs and monsters can move faster than light and/or planet bust, why not Godzilla and co.?

Oh, and as for KG simply not nuking the planet immediately, what if he wants the planets resident lifeforms to suffer as much as possible before blowing the planet up? That, and you could also just have the monsters simply be durable and fast enough to keep up with him.

[LSD Jellyfish]

Forgive me if no one has mentioned this before but I haven't seen anyone discuss whether mothra will appear in larva form or only adult, or both. It'd be cool for Mothra to appear in larva form this movie and in the sequel turn into an adult.

I like the threads main idea but it's a little simpler. Rodan can literally just have the same origin as Godzilla and same for Mothra if done right. We'll see.
