Titanosaurus is an interesting kaiju to make a film out of. Kaiju War Chronicles plays with the idea of him being different pre and post mind control. That could make for an interesting story, being a drone for a modern Mifune until the supersonic waves come into play. Then he can be stuck between obeying Mifune as he was tamed beforehand and breaking free. Just tossing an idea around, there are angles to go with stories based on Titanosaurus.

Maybe updated to look more like a stag or rhino beetle?

Rhino beetle Megalon is a dope idea for a reimagining. They already look threatening as it is, add their features to Megalon's basic design and violla- perfect update.

Isn't Megslon already a rhino beetle? In any case there is already a Rhino beetle kaiju. I'd like you to check out King of the Monsters for SNES.

His name is Beetle-Mania

Lol.

I think I played that once, but it's been a long time.

I'm on the bandwagon who thinks Varan deserves a second chance to make it big. The best way to handle the character is borrow elements from the unused Godzilla Vs Varan script from '95 and the original version of GMK. He would essentially be an apocalyptic deity more than capable of curb-stomping Godzilla in a one-on-one fight. Can anyone think of other ways to amp him up?

Well with Toho celebrating Hedorah's 50th and they already released Gigan's 50th logo, we're bound to see Showa dudes return in some smaller tokusatsu capacity. Megalon 'n Zone FIghter in 2023 maybe? Eh? A guy can hope.

Singular Point treated us with the return of a lot of classic alumni (as weird as they got), so I can safely say Toho will keep treating us with Showa reappearances. We all know they're gonna milk Mechagodzilla in 2024 :lol: ffs we already got two MG appearances this year, can you imagine how crazy '24 will be!
