They could make a "he's the funny one" character in a sequel, but not when their goal should be to establish characters and the mood of this particular mythopoeia.



Absolutely, because Godzilla needs to be AS SERIOUS AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.

Serious movies like Star Wars, Burton's Batman films, Mothra vs. Godzilla or The Lord of the Rings have comic reliefs. I see no harm in having 1 or 3 in Legendaryzilla.

Mothra vs Godzilla is not the only good Godzilla film.

It should be full of sex jokes, sterotypical characters and kaiju, as well as a shot of Godzilla's testicles as he scales a building.

Oh wait, Im thinking Michael Bay.

Maybe there could be some RoboCop-esque satire. Just saying.

Well it doesn't have to be like that.

I always liked how in Gamera, Guadian of the Universe there are these giant creatures flying around yet old ladies are complaining about the price of fish. It grounds a fantastic idea and makes it relatable. To me the monsters can do anything as long as the characters are believable.

No, we need to go even further than that! Forget the humans and gets some very grave apes to work on this film.

I was thinking maybe Godzilla would take with Anguirus with roars, and the subtitles could translate to what they're saying:

Godzilla: A pity for you, Anguirus.

Anguirus: And why, dear sir, do you say that?

Godzilla: Because I am now going to kill you.

Anguirus: That is indeed a pity for me. But why must you do so?

Godzilla: I feel that it is better this way. I would be able to destroy Japan without the troubles of another kaiju.

Anguirus: Indeed that is good reason to kill me. Let us battle, for there can only be one survivor.

Godzilla: Yes, lets.

As long as we dont get a Jar Jar Binks like character I'm good. I never really cared for the "comic relief" characters in movies.

I would love subtle humor points that long time Godzilla fans would get.

I want the tone to be balanced in the movie, because while I think it would be great to have the movie's MAIN tone to be dark, gritty, and serious, I also want there to be funny and hilarious scenes. Even TDK had funny moments, like the Batman suspects wall in the beggining with Abe Lincoln and Bigfoot under it, the Joker during the truck in the chase, then accidentaly falling after getting off the truck, and him trying to blow up the hospital. Take TASM as another example, that movie's tone was well balanced, not as cheesy, campy, and goofy like Raimi's Spiderman and the 60s Spiderman, but not as dark as Nolan's Batman. So for a comedy scene, have something like maybe similar to that scene in The Avengers, where everyone is trying to solve the problem, then there's a guy playing Galaga. You can have that, maybe the Army Colonel and the President arguing in a room full of people about solving the problem against Godzilla, then the President leaves the room and the Colonel tells everyone to resume their work, then there's a guy playing Pac-Man (as an example). :lol: :lol:

It should have Fraiser-level comedy, where it's clever, whitty, comes in at the right moment, and makes you think about the jokes in order to fully understand them. However, comedy in this movie should be in sprites and not in every scene, and it needs to be funny in a character interaction/chemistry kind of way and not a comic-relief character.

I'm all for some comedic relief. I just hope they don't skreeonk it up.
