Death or retreat or captured?

[Tyler]

If Godzilla dies in this movie I'm gonna take my pants off and shit right in the theatre.

[NSZ]

Yeah... I think that if they want this movie to be a success (which they DO), they'll keep Goji alive and kicking. The enemies fate(s) on the other hand is a/are wild card(s).

[James23873]

Point taken. Perhaps both could die fighting each other, stalemate. Or they could pull a Mothra, have Godzilla killed by the monster and then see that he has offspring who will continue the fight. I'm just tired of Godzilla being his usual immortal self. I really believe Godzilla just has to die somehow in this one.

I really don't want any Godzilla babies in this. It needs to distance itself away from GINO as much as possible.

[Godzillawolf]

Just an idea, they could do what Toho wanted Tristar to do, continue off Godzilla vs. Destoroyah and have this one be the full grown Jr. Unlikely, but possible.

No, it's not possible. People need to stop this insanity. There is no way in hell this movie is going to be a sequel to a movie series only a tiny fraction of the audience has seen. That inane. Even Toho themselves decided to distance themselves from the Heisei series with G2K in order to find a bigger audience. And it worked, as G2K ended up getting released here.

The Heisei series will never be continued in any way, shape or form. It's over and it's been over for a decade and a half. Get. Over. It.

I'm sorry if I sound hostile but the lack of realistic thinking when this topic comes up is mind blowing.

But this is TK.

[godzillard]

he should kill the monster then fight the atrogan kind of like godzilla vs gigan with godzilla tower

[Gojira21]

I honestly believe should destroy the enemy villian, and if really want them back im sure they can find an creative way to revive the character

[Lord Gappa]

Kill them. Retreating's kinda repetive in most films. As for Godzilla dying, even though i have no problem with it, do it in a final sequel, and not do it for the first film. Chances are Legendary's pulling for a franchise, and it wouldn't help matters if the main charcter of said franchise dies in the debut.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

Depends on the monster. If it's a beast that could become an ally in the future, like Anguirus or Rodan, keep it alive. If it's a flat-out villain, kill it in a spectacular manner.

100% agreement. I'd rather not see oft-allies to Godzilla like Rodan or Anguirus (and I'll add Mothra, unless they bring back the larva in the same film or the next) brutally offed. Too much emotional attachment to those guys.

However, I want Orga-level obliteration for the evil monsters.

While I agree that we have ZERO chance of seeing a Heisei continuation, I would love to see this done in the manner of the new Friday the 13th remake. Before anyone has a heart attack, I am specifically referring to the way that they opened the film with re-staged moments based on scenes in the original F13th, creating a prologue for the new film that could be seen as standing on its own for a new audience, or as a "previously on..." section for fans familiar with the orginal. Thus the film can be seen as a total reboot, OR as a direct, G '84-style, sequel to the first movie.

For Legendary's Godzilla, my ideal story would begin in the same way, with some vague reference to an attack in 1954, after which Godzilla was not seen until the present day. A good approach might be to start with an exciting scene of fiery destruction as a character attempts to escape Tokyo, only to cut the scene right before we get a good look at Godzilla, then launch into a Citizen Kane-style newsreel sequence explaining the basics of the attack, and setting up the fact that Godzilla was never confirmed dead.

I think the public is familiar enough with Godzilla: King of the Monsters to understand and appreciate such an approach. Sure, most of the audience probably hasn't seen the movie, but they all know it's the tale of an atomic dinosaur tearing shit up in the 1950s.

This way Legendary has a cool set-piece opening, and they avoid a huge chunk of potential fan bitching.

[Jomei]

Trap them on Monster Island. Then we can have a remake of sorts of Destroy All Monsters.

[Showa Gyaos]

Hopefully with less bad acting and more personality for the monsters.

[Ludwig X]

It does depend on the monster, but I'd say kill them most likely.

[Dust_pan]

Kill it. No. More than kill it. ANNHILATE it. We need an epic way to get rid of a monster.

This movie's likely going to get 0 - 1 sequel, so the idea of bringing back an enemy monster would be unneeded. In case a sequel IS made, Godzilla should fight a new monster entirely.

[Chris55]

I want Godzilla to die like a Viking in this movie. Full out battle. Fight to the death and give it his all.

[Svitska Donkun]

I want Godzilla to die like a Pirate in this movie. Full out drunk. Flight to the death and giving it to his wench.

[Crocodile]

I want Godzilla to die in an underground bunker, with his empire in ruins, and his enemies outside his door.

[hammysammy59]

I want Godzilla to die, killed by the invincible, infallible US Military! Maybe he could get tangled up in a bridge and shot with four rockets. Guys? ...Guys?

Kidding of course. If they dispatch Godzilla at the end of this movie, I want something like the iceberg trap in GRA or the volcano in G84. Those were both classy ways to lock him up, without relying on ridiculous, futuristic super weapons.

As for the enemy monsters, it depends on the monster. I'll echo the sentiments of a lot of folks and say that I don't want to see Anguirus, Rodan or Mothra blown to bloody chunks (even Ghidorah, honestly)... but definitely get their asses kicked and have them slink away. At the same time, I think we'll be lucky to see even one sequel to this thing, so it really wouldn't hurt any sort of "continuity" for them to just blow the shit out of the monster.

Letting the monster get away doesn't have to necessarily mean we see the monster fly off into space or high-tail it out of town. It could be as simple as the monster appearing dead, just not exploding in a fiery ball of gore. Godzilla could chomp his neck and leave him for dead (sort of like in GRA, except he finishes him off with a nasty blast of nuclear fire). Dropping the monster may not be very satisfying, but into a volcano or off some great height would work.

That said, as much as I love the Toho stable of monsters, I wouldn't mind seeing any of the monsters get blown the skreeonk up, as long as they aren't one of the five listed above (five counting G-money himself).

I like the idea of monster exploding in firery balls of gore. But only on monsters that reall deserve it. With the vast library of monsters in the Godzilla mythos, you can afford to kill a few. Even if they NEED to come back, have someone or something either clone it or piece it back together as a Mech.

Dropping monsters into volcanoes and off great heights has been done before. But I don't think any monsters explode in a fiery balls of gore...Keiser Ghidorah Exploded, but there was no gore during the explosion, despite missing two heads...Biollante bled everywhere but didn't explode, despite being very flammable...so if you put the two together I guess you have a goresplosion...but that's still a stretch...
