Should Mecha-Godzilla be use in the reboot?

For the discussion of the upcoming Godzilla film by Legendary Pictures.

Should Mecha-Godzilla be use in the reboot?

Postby FlamingZilla23 » Tue Nov 15, 2011 6:25 pm

Say if LP decides to have mecha-godzilla in future sequels, should they portray him as a villian or a hero? Me personally wouldn't mind him being a villian again like he should be because i never really liked the hero aspect. So want him as a hero, villian, or you just don't want him in the series.

I'd say save him for a sequel if there is one.

I'd rather not have a high-power monster used right off the bat, as a dazzling opponent may overshadow Godzilla (which in the reboot of a movie most Americans aren't familiar with ...) is probably not ideal. That's just me though, and why I don't really want to see Mechagodzilla, King Ghidorah, Bagan, or other high-power monsters that are on par with or stronger than Godzilla. Like LC said, save it for a sequel (if there is one). This is something Toho did well the one time they rebooted Godzilla and had an opponent (G2K). Orga was strong and all, but Godzilla was clearly stronger and visually "cooler".

Personally I've seen enough Mechagodzilla's for now.

Let's get Rodan in, we haven't seen him be a real threat to anyone since the 60's. Not to say Heisei Rodan is not tough but he was clearly out matched and Final Wars Rodan is, well, he's Final Wars Rodan.

i would be okay with rodan if they make him at least tuffer and smarter AND the same size as godzilla.

Mechagodzilla has no place in any LP Godzilla film if they want people to take it (somewhat) seriously.

A Detroit car company should make Mechagodzilla. In a month.

I'd actually would love to see that. "Detroit, the leading maker in anti-kaiju robots." :lol: But not for this film.

I've never been a Mechagodzilla fan, so I hope he isn't in it. I loved when Godzilla tore his head off.

Now i like Mecha-Godzilla in the Original film an Terror of Mecha-Godzilla but after that i have personally disliked each incarnation of Mecha-G more an more each time he is used.

So with that said, I'd rather him not be used.. The only monster's i'd care to be used in the Legendary Pictures series is Rodan, King Ghidorah, an Biollante otherwise give us an entire new monster or monster's for Godzilla to battle.

Yes, I would love to see MG in if they can work up a good origin, kickass design, and execute him properly.

One of my biggest problems with the IDW comics was the rushed and early entrance of MechaG. Please keep him out of this for now.

I don't see any point in them introducing Mechagodzilla unless they can make it practical which, honestly, I don't see happening. I LOVE MechaG. But if they can't actually provide a legit reason for creating him as opposed to a kick ass gun to stop/oppose Godzilla, I don't think they should.

Mechagodzilla in this film? I swear this is deja'vu for me.

Honestly, if he was introduced inside this film, the main thing that some people would want to know is, (Especially if Mechagodzilla was made by the U.S) would be where did all of that money come from to build that thing?

Sure Japan has built MechaGodzilla in the Japanese Godzilla films, but that's normally let go due to the casual stereotype that Japan can build just about anything and have more advance technology.

Now, you could argue, "Well if Bruce Wayne can build a batman mobile and etc, then why can't the U.S government do the same with MechaGodzilla within a non-Japanese Godzilla film?" And honestly...I still don't have a comeback for that yet lol. (Damn you Gena and your questions!)

I was thinking about saying because of the recession, but then again, what proof do we have that LP will be using our world in complete and full details.(By that I mean like what KOM did, like having Obama, even though he had a different name).

^In my opinion, I think they should detach this film from current events. Not like a complete new universe or a super-perfect world or anything, just normal society going about its business. Then, they might be able to incorporate the money story. If they try to make the film set in the current economic situation, I feel the audience might kind of scoff at the idea. But if they wanted to, maybe an idea would be that all the nations of the world came together and helped each other out to build it.

But if they do put him in the film, he better be respectable, you know, not overheat every ten minutes, or blow a circuit three or four times every time they use it, like the other mechag's have since the Showa series.

I think LP should focus more on making a really good if not acceptable reboot. Then if it works out, make a strong enemy like Mechagodzilla.

i think the money for making Mecha-Godzilla would have been like 100,000,000,000,000,000 lol im just guessing.

No Alpha airships, no Markalites, no Masers, and no Mechagodzilla. Let's not be so hasty to start using the sci-fi weapons just yet.
Just good old tanks, howitzers and jets, please.
