How Many Monsters Should Be In The Film

[Dust_pan]

^Quantity =/= Quality.

This.

I'd rather have two monsters. Or maybe even just Godzilla vs some super powerful weapon (Like in Return of Godzilla).

To make me squeel crazily, I'd like three monsters. Godzilla, a formidable enemy, and some cannon fodder monster (hopefully a new, original monster). But as mentioned, I'd like no more than two.

Am I the only person on this board who would PREFER original monsters for this film? Maybe if there are sequels we can see some other Toho monsters, but I REALLY want to see something new.

[HayesAJones]

An original monster would be a welcomed change, although I would love to see a non-overused Toho classic (Anguirus, Rodan) or one-timer (Titanosaurus) return as well.

[Giga Kaiju]

One New and One Classic.
Pretty Much if there are more than one monster in the film.

[Primevalgodzilla V2]

I want a classic kaiju that is rather popular, but also rather underused. Like Hedorah, Gigan or even Megalon.

[XxComablack1937xX]

If there's more then 1 enemy monster for Godzilla to fight.. I'd like 1 Original monster for the first fight, an a Toho monster for the final battle.

Chance's are as hopeful as we are as fan's to pick an under-used Toho monster.. If Legendary uses one it will be a more famous one like (Rodan, King Ghidorah, Mecha-Godzilla, Anguirus)

An i must be the only 1 who would be turned off a bit if they used ''Hedorah or Megalon''?

Original monsters have not been very popular at all like Orga, Monster X and Megaguirus for example. They are most likely going to pick a monster is that popular with the fanbase and recognizable to the general movie goers as mention many times before.

Just because fans didn't receive the original monsters from those newer films very well, doesn't mean that an original monster won't do well with fans or the general public with this one. At some point, all the monsters were fresh new faces. Seriously, we can't just say "Oh, we (the fans) didn't invest too much in this particular monster so that means the general public didn't like them either". We don't know how the general public would react to an old monster or a new one, there would probably be little to no difference whatsoever. And in the end, LP isn't going to cater to the fans. That's just not good business. It's not where the money is.

You know, if the new Godzilla is CGI, it would be kinda cool if they introduced Obsidius in CGI. But back on topic, I'd perfer a least three monsters to fight Godzilla. (Just not at the same time)

Why?

As far as Kaiju go, Hedorah is pretty believable. He's a somewhat amorphous mutant with an ecological origin. That works very well. Gigan and Megalon, while potentially really cool monsters are not at all believable for a first film. They're both cyborgs with alien/non-human civilization origins. That's liable to be seen as campy-as-hell by uninitiated filmgoers. We should start out with mutations or characters whose origins resemble those of Godzilla. Don't suddenly have a mutated dinosaur show up and then throw something else equally unbelievable, unrelated, and perhaps even more outlandish into the equation.

What if LP uses Bagan in the film?

[Living Corpse]

It's probably not gonna be Bagan. Unless they change his design because it's very Heisei-ish what with being bulky.

Most likely, but I think he would make one hell of a enemy.

[DeadpoolsbetterThanU]

Most likely, but I think he would make one hell of a enemy.

I think so too, but he's probably too powerful for the first movie. LP is probably going to do a trilogy, because what movie nowadays doesn't get a trilogy?
So I think they'd save him for a sequel or third movie. Remember in Super Godzilla, Godzilla had to become Super Godzilla in order to defeat him. That's not something I think most people would want in the first movie.

But David Goyer is the writer, knowing him with Batman and Blade then he is likely going to pick a classic villain for the film. Most likely pick someone that is iconic or a monster is recognizable like King Ghidorah or Hedorah. Having a new monster will be asking who they are, you don't see people making new original villains for Spider-Man in a film.

because what movie nowadays doesn't get a trilogy?

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), Independence Day (1996), Spawn (1997), Deep Blue Sea (1999), Daredevil (2003), Van Helsing (2004), 10,000 BC (2008), The Last Airbender (2010) and many other popular movies never got a trilogy. It's too early to tell if we are going to get sequels, the movie can be a hit (Which is likely) or a flop. GINO did well at the box office due to the marketing.

[Shadow]

@DeadpoolsbetterThanU. Agreed best saved for a sequel.

[Jomei]

I think two or three would be all right. We're confirmed to have Godzilla + his enemy, but I think a third monster with a lesser role could be all right. Perhaps it's quickly stopped by the military/Godzilla/enemy monster.

[dantheunbelievable]

sequel to giant monster all out attack and yes with original script i don't care

Seeing David Goyer's work in Batman Begins and how that film drew from a wide range of mythology to craft his new origin (The League of Shadows are from the late-sixties, Ra's Al Ghul is from the early seventies), I think people should optimistic in that the whole gambit of Godzilla mythology could be tapped for this new film. This won't necessarily be a straight Gojira remake or anything Showa heavy.
