Like I said, destroying all life that he sees as a threat! Destroying all of mankind, and kicking ass not for humanity, but for his own survival and territory. Show that he's an entity far stronger and deadly than anyone has ever seen before or even thought was possible!

Anyone agree with me?

I would but the directors won't let me.
I want him to be like he is in G2K, saves the earth from attack, but destroys buildings.

I don't think I agree.


And heres why Ethan is in my foe list.

Godzilla vs Megalon and Godzilla FInal Wars are still critically bad films, no matter how they are funny.

I want him to be like he is in G2K, saves the earth from attack, but destroys buildings.


This.

I've probably said this before, but I like how he was in the '60s.

He was sort of a grumpy, indifferent old man who wanted to be left alone, but he usually became a reluctant or unintentional hero in the story.

I think Godzilla should be somewhere in the middle, like he was in Godzilla 2000, where he beats the shit out of the human threatening monster, the have the millitary provoke him, blow up the military vehicles that are attacking him, then turn around and annihilate whatever city he's in.

Realistically, the 2000 or Final Wars versions would be best, basically as many others have said, an anti-hero. But I've always preferred him as a hero, especially from Terror of Mechagodzilla.

I want the movie to be a direct sequel to TOM. Just bring back the Showa continuity.

Nah, If there going to continue anything they should start at the end of Godzilla vs Destroyah with Godzilla Jr being alive an leaving Japan to come to the U.S., Or just start let's say 10/20 years after ''Final Wars'' an have Godzilla attack Japan an feed on Nuclear Energy before traveling to the U.S. (This is assuming he actually travels to the U.S.)

I rather if he has a villainous role. Then start up as a reluctant anti-hero fighting major threats if sequels are made

Honestly he should be the threat by himself (like in the 2 films just named Godzilla), then fight a major threat of the year, since they are made yearly

Villian is for me

The only way I see him change to anti-hero is if he fights an Evilier force like Ghidorah or Bagan

But if they are going to use someone like Mothra, then he should just stay villian throughout

In the original, it showed how much damage godzilla could do, all the deaths, all the destruction, no mercy. Make Godzilla just like he was in Gojira, show just what he can do, the pain he can bring along with the destruction.

Make him a living breathing reminder of the events taken place in WW2, make him unstoppible.

He must anihalate everything in his path in order to show mankind the folly of our ways.

Yeah, thanks for that.

If Godzilla was JUST LIKE THAT and stayed that way through several sequels it would be incredibly boring.

I feel like I already posted this opinion once before, but I think Godzilla '62-'66 is the sweet spot. He was destructive--often an enemy of mankind--but not necessarily malevolent. He could, under the right circumstances, end up benefiting people by incidentally defeating a more sinister enemy for them.

An Antihero like in the early Showa films or like he was in G2K.
Unstoppable Fury , Unthinkable Power , Unbreakable Will.

Heroic.

Damn it, I hate to admit it (because I love the sinister version of Godzilla '54) but I really have too much affection for the character to root against him anymore. Now, he doesn't need to be a Megalon-level superhero, but something akin to his characterization in Sea Monster or G2000 would satisfy me.

Gojira had a depressing aspect to it, that's why I love it, the Godzilla 54 was perfect, he was the embodyment of the H-Bomb, and the rest of the Showa movies kinda forgot that. That movie showed the real damage not just to the buildings, but also the devistation to the people. If the new Godzilla movie was like that it would be awesome, and if Goji fights another monster, then it would be cool to watch him decimate the enemy, just bashing the opponent not letting up, and catching him ablaze, letting loose all of his anger, then turning his anger back on Tokyo.....

I fully agree with this post - though I can't really expand on it. Enough said.

Like Cimmeran Dragon said, I wouldn't mind a heroic Godzilla. Does this mean I want him dancing, flying, doing sliding tail kicks and being campy? No, but I'd like something like we see in the later 60's films. He's not exactly a good guy, but he's the only one who's able to stop the bigger and badder monster. I think the unassuming hero role would be the best choice imo.
