Something that I want to be portrayed in this movie is the human cast being conflicted on whether to "root," per se, for Godzilla, since he killed so many people (possibly even tying into whether or not the US was really "good" in WWII since they dropped the atomic bombs). This all leading up to the Crowning Moment of Awesome (for the human characters) when the military decides to back up Godzilla.

That was my point! :D

I prefer it when he is treated like a wild animal. Neither good nor evil, simply a territorial beast of prey with no agenda other than survival. This is none of the aspects that made "G vs Destoroyah" so powerful. It felt honestly real when this massive force of potential destruction was nonetheless mournful at the loss of his son.

I would also like it if they would tie back into the Heisei series, at least to a degree. Having Godzilla keep coming back over and over after his supposed death makes more sense if there is an established lineage. He doesn't have to look the same, because radioactive mutation should manifest differently with each generation.

Just, please... no more victory dances or judo moves.

He should be a force of nature, destroying anything that gets in his way, and just protecting himself.

He should live in a cave with sliding doors and run to the rescue of any friend who happens to have a tough time against any evil monster.

Anything less is inexcusable.

Clever comments revisiting the comparisons people have made between Godzilla and Batman?

They summon Godzilla with a buzzer, and when that doesn't work the cry of his overweight nephew.

Here you go. Never before or since has Godzilla looked even more obvious as a man in a suit, to the best of my memory.

That's retarded. You'd have to eliminate every donkey in the vicinity to avoid false alarm.

He should always be a villian, sure he fights other attacking monsters, but I always saw that as territory issues, or the simple fact that if Earth dies, Godzilla will die too! He fights for himself not humanity, but this is just my opinion.
The world would be so much nicer if people only used guns on themselves.

Cartoonish hero, a portrayal that hasn't been used since the Showa era. Such a depiction would certainly appeal the fans' nostagia, and would be true to Godzilla's most popular films.
Every film should have at least one animal attack.

The style doesn't fit with modern movie standards and the movie is not going to be made just for the fans. Also Godzilla was a cartoonish hero just in two movies. And i honestly consider the ''cartoonish hero'' mannerism a mischaracterisation for Godzilla, like the rockbiter in Neverending Story 3.
