Showa-ified Kaiju

For the discussion of Toho produced and distributed films or shows released before 1980.

If you would have a sequel to the Showa movies, what past kaiju would you Showa-fy?

SpaceGodzilla as a whole sounds like a whacky idea that would have popped up during the Showa series. Some concept art thrown out even has him in this "Showa" kind of flair.

Two of the pieces in question can be found on the main site if you look at the concept art for Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla. ;)

Monster X would be a good Showa beast. It's a biped, which is good for the suit actor, and it'd be a good foe for Godzilla or Mothra.

Yes, but would it still be able to change into Keizer Ghidoran (and maybe even be able to change back into Monster X again, and be able to go back and forth between the two forms)? If so, would Keizer Ghidorah still be a quadruped, or would it be a biped this time, like King Ghidorah is?

The Showa MX I imagine would not transform into Ghidorah. I know Ghidorah is popular, but let MX be its own creature.

I honestly kinda imagine a Showa Monster X being like one of those big bad aliens from the Showa Ultraman shows, like he'd be the type of monster who'd say something like "GODZILLA, YOUR END IS NEAR!".

Honestly yeah! That’s be hilarious. He’d have a solely hand-to-hand duel with Godzilla, to boot.

That's hilarious and accurate :lol:

It would have been great if Toho made something like Behemoth. I could see it done with big extendo-arms like Showa Kong, big tusks, short trunk, all of it. Maybe he'd have proportions kinda like Orga's suit.

I honestly could imagine him sounding like Alien Hipporito, and literally calling Godzilla "Earth's Mightiest Warrior".

Found a neat-o video on what a robotic doppleganger to Godzilla's arch for might been like. MechaGhidorah was designed by two distinguished artists in the mecha and kaiju field, Yuki Kida, and Masami Watanbe for a magazine spread in 1981.
