Definitive: “How would you feel about X”

[Al Diplodocus]

Here's some more. HWYFI :

1. Godzilla was able to out-smart the human characters for once?
2. A kaiju was created by gene splicing Godzilla and Mothra?
3. Another film featured a mated Rodan pair with sexual dimorphism?
4. Going off of #3, What if there was a baby Rodan in addition to the male and female?
5. They showed Rodan attacking and eating a train filled with cattle? Fun fact, it was in the script to the 1956 film, but scrapped most likely to budget and technical reasons.
6. Rodan was able to partially blind Godzilla with a peck?

I'd say I would like all of them, with the exception of #2 if not done well. Maybe this "Mojira" would be a kind of successor to Megaguirus?

Now for mine:

HWYFA:
- A rabbit kaiju in the franchise?
- A Godzilla film set in Australia that involved its history as a major plot point?
- Godzilla was depicted as a herbivore, ripping trees by the roots and chowing down on them?

1. I'm confused as to what you mean, exactly?
2. No.
3. No...
4. Sure.
5. I...guess?
6. Sure?

The IDW comic Godzilla: Rulers of Earth.

1. It could work, much like any creature could really work as a kaiju. It just should probably have some features besides being a big version of an existing creature.
2. It would work best as a film made by Australians, probably, but it could be pretty cool.
3. I'm personally not that big of a fan of seeing Godzilla eat anything, but it's not a terrible idea. Probably pretty inconsequential overall, unless the point would be to emphasize Godzilla as being kind of a pacifistic creature before humans enraged it. Though that emphasis would only work for more antagonistic Godzillas, unless that Godzilla goes through the same sort of arc as the Showa Godzilla.

As for a few of my own HWYFI:

1. How would you feel if an American Godzilla movie were to tackle the subject of/criticize American foreign policy (historical or otherwise) similarly to how GMK criticized Japan's actions with regards to its Imperial history?

2. How would you feel if there were aliens in a more protagonistic role rather than as antagonists again?

3. How would you feel if the characters from 1954 were to be involved in the backstories of the main character of a future film, but in a continuity where the events of '54 didn't happen?

[LegendZilla]

^For #1, I think that's the best way to have a Western Godzilla film really strike a nerve with audiences. Also, we kind of got protagonist aliens with the Bilsaludo.

1. I would like it, Angry conservatives be damned.
2. I'm honestly not a fan of depicting aliens in negative light, so I'd like it.
3. Interesting, though I am pretty sure outside of American films you can't have continuity that doesn't have G54 in it.

[Gojira1604]

1. Yes please definitely.
2. Eh, sounds strange. The fan art of such hybrids I've seen so far not impressed me. Might work with Gigamoth.
3. I prefer them as they are. Male & female Rodans.
4. That'd of made the 56 film even better.

6. Sounds very awesome.

1. Sounds good. I could see a scene where Godzilla tricks JSDF into firing on their own forces. I would like to see that.

2. An interesting idea, but, personally, I'd prefer G cells being mixed with animals to create kaiju.

3. It makes sense to me.

4. Only if the baby plays some significant role in the story.

5. It'd be interesting.

6. They did it to MG2, so why not Godzilla.

Here's some more HWYFI's :

1. There was a prequel to Destroy All Monsters?
2. Godzilla and Spacegodzilla turned out to be one in the same as a plot twist? I am thinking something along the lines of

Spoiler:

Buzz and Zurg being one in the same in Lightyear.

3. They delved into the themes of Godzilla being capable of becoming either a savior or destroyer? Going off of #2, SpaceG will represent Godzilla going down the latter path.
4. WB made direct-to-video animated features of Godzilla like their DC stuff?

1. I am curious as to how they got all the monsters on one island. I'd like to see that.

2 and 3. I could see a story in this idea. Depending on how you explored the possible fates of Godzilla, it could be very interesting.

4. As long as they include Scylla, Behemoth and others they created. Those Titans deserve more screen time.

Further on my last post, how would you feel if ShinGoji's design was used as a template for a modernized and updated SpaceGodzilla? It worked for Gomess in Shin Utraman, even if his appearance was brief. I acknowledge that the idea isn't strictly mine per say, but it appeals to me nonetheless. Here's an example of how it could look :

[ShinGojira14]

In a well-written story, a Shin SpaceGodzilla would be awesome. Like, holy shit the things he'd be capable of...

A kaiju period piece? I’ve already brought up a plot for an Anguirus-centric movie set in WW2 about fighting on the Eastern Front between the Germans and the Russians.

And exactly what role would Angilas play?

Another good kaiju to bring back for a period piece would be King Caesar.

Anguirus would be a sleeping monster that resides in Russia (like in GRA), and is awoken by the war.

[edgaguirus]

I'm down for any film that would feature Anguirus.

Anguirus deserves to show up for Every time Mothra does.

How would you feel about a Godzilla design putting emphasis on his aquatic nature? (his dorsal plates resembling fish scales, an orca esc. skin pattern etc.)

How would you feel about a future Mechagodzilla using the "berserk" origin? A metallic alien parasite that copies Godzilla's look in order to become the dominant lifeform on Earth?

How would you feel if Varan comes back.. but Toho uses the 1995 draft for his redo? (him being a harbringer of the apocalypse)

[LegendZilla]

^They kinda did that in SP, only at the price of quote-on-quote paying homage to other kaiju. Still, I would like a more semi-aquatic Godzilla. As for your suggestions for MG and Varan, that's the way to go.
