Zilla in other Godzilla movies?

[Shadow]

One word: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Legion1979]

We're just finally recovering from the Hollywood GINO stigma and that ONLY reason Zilla was in GFW so that the real Godzilla could kick his ass.

So what's this crap about people respecting the monster and wishing he'd come back? Really?? Don't hold your breath on that one.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

^ Just remember, liking the idea doesn't mean anyone thinks it's likely to happen.

And actually, aren't there quite a few of us around here that have consistently maintained some appreciation for Zilla while not liking his film?

[Destroyer]

Zilla is a good monster, just not the film he was in.

[hammysammy59]

Yeah, like Varan.

[XxComablack1937xX]

Zilla is dead an needs to stay that way.... There is no reason to even remotely bring the character back... It isn't invincible, it has no real special powers, an it eat's fish...

Even if Toho brought the monster back an fought any other monster in the Godzilla franchise besides big-G himself he's still get his ass handed to him within a few minutes. Wouldn't even be worth making a movie over....

He'd fit quite well in a Jurassic park sequel since there talking about further genetic tampering.... But Zilla just doesn't fit in the Godzilla Universe.

A brilliant example here here:

I like the idea of having sex. However, due to my lack of having a female friend that is available or attractive, I don't see it happening. And if I wondered to have sex with a guy, I would have gone to theater school. It would have been easier.

... Oh good lord, I'm about to defend Zilla... this is gonna be one of those skreeonk weeks, isn'it?

What is Zilla? An innocent animal, in this case a Green Iguana, turned into a misshapen monster by man's reckless wishing for its very own self-destruction, also known as a nuke in some districts. It had no chance of leading the life its forerunners did. It became too tall, too strong, and too heavy, ironically no longer having a place in the very world that made it.

Like hell it don't belong!

There is no quota to be met when being a giant monster in the Godzilla Universe. You don't have to be invincible (Yog trio), you don't need special powers (Rodan, Manda, Kamacuras, Anguirus, Kumonga, Ookondoru, Oodako, Ebirah), and you sure as hell don't need to subscribe to a certain skreeonk diet.

Ugh, I'm going to bed. Defending Zilla is just bound to give me some more freaky as hell nightmares.

Before I decided I was going to work on my master's in literature, I got my first degree in theatre. I might've thought you were engaging in unfair profiling before that...but it was honestly astounding how many of my classmates were self-proclaimed homosexuals. I literally took a class with seven other students, and the only other person who wasn't gay was the woman. That may or may not be the norm, but damn if it wasn't an interesting experience.

I think you're right on the money, NSZ. Part of the series' charm is the sheer quantity and variety of creatures it can accommodate. As long as Toho has a copyright icon for it, any kaiju is welcome in my book.

Wonderfully put, that made me like Zilla even more than I did and strengthened my belief that she should get another shot at a movie.

[Legion1979]

Zilla "not fitting" in the Godzilla universe has nothing to do with how powerful he is or what he looks like. It's what he represents. The whole reason the monster even appeared in GFW was for the "real" Godzilla to kick his sorry ass. I don't see him showing up in another Toho-produced Godzilla film. Ever.

[edgaguirus]

I also don't see him in any American films in the near future.

[Goji]

In a better solo film, Zilla's return might work.

No, it wouldn't. What makes you think that would ever be a good idea?

Wouldn't that basically just be GINO part 2?

[HayesAJones]

I could see him in a role similar to Zedus, the fabled 'first foe' of a young/new monster.

[Destroyer]

I think it would be hilarious if Zilla got a part two.

[Living Corpse]

No it wouldn't.

A role in a game maybe, a film NO.

[GodzillaRangerPrime]

I think people are letting their extreme hate of Zilla get in the way of how interesting another appearance of him in a Godzilla film would be.

[tymon]

^It would only be "interesting" if you're a fan of the character, which a lot of people here aren't. I like GINO as a monster, and wouldn't mind seeing him in a film again, but I'm also pretty certain it's never gonna happen. There are far better monsters that deserve screentime anyhow.

[Goji]

I don't think that applies here at all, actually.

I actually like the character, but Zilla will never, ever be in another starring role. Period.
