Re: How could Toho make Godzilla even "weirder"? What new directions might they go in after 2020?
weird: instead of gills, have Godzilla breathe underwater through his cloaca like some turtles. While in turtles this is only enough oxygen for low periods of activity like sleeping underwater until the lake thaws in spring, I think Godzilla's oxygen requirments are less than his size suggests due to the nuclear metabolism.
on a side note, I've been thinking of how it could be interesting to bring back how Heisei Godzilla had green blood in some Heisei movies. There are green blooded lizards, its due to them being able to handle a higher concentration of degraded, broken down blood cells than other animals so thebody doesn't put in as much effort filtering them in the liver (where it would be added to bile)

Here's another idea : What if he gets critically wounded and receives cybernetic implants?

Sorry but I don't want my goji with cybernetic double D's.

You pure soul.LegendZilla wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 10:03 pmWhat does the "D" stand for? Also, I am guessing you prefer Godzilla being 100% organic. If so, that's understandable.
But yes, keep my Gojis organic

Any idea, good or bad is subject to inevitable execution. If they can come up with a good story surrounding an idea like mine to justify it, things could be quite entertaining if done right. Perhaps his nuclear reactor-heart is failing on him, which will lead to a meltdown like in '95. To prevent this, a team of scientists believe the only way they can prevent such a thing is if they give Godzilla implants to stabilize his nuclear energy-processing. Inevitably, the government of Japan would try to take advantage of Godzilla becoming a cyborg and use it as an opportunity to control him by implanting a micro-chip into his brain. That way the film could explore the ethics of stripping a living creature of its free will.
Let's be honest, turning him into a cyborg is no less egregious than turning him into *cough* a plant. Plus, I think Godzilla becoming one could be an realistic way they they could have Godzilla turn to the good side. 30 years ago, they turned KG into a cyborg and I know most of you take issue with that film, but was that particular idea detrimental? Lastly, if you still don't like the idea, would it ease the pain if they can find a way to integrate cybernetic bits into Godzilla well enough without taking away too much of his familiar shape and form?

I could see a plot line where they have to deal with how Godzilla’s old allies respond to him.

Well, we have kind of already had a cyborg Godzilla in the form of Kiryu. I don't see it as much of a stretch to consider another approach to the same concept.
Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

No more cyborg Godzillers.

I just remembered that a long time ago, I came up with the idea of Godzilla being a sentient computer file not unlike Megaman Battle Network. He eventually makes it into our world Digimon-style.

How about a Godzilla that's a shape-shifting demonic entity/ghost/yokai/oni that's tied with myths of other shape-shifting entities from Japanese mythology, such as the Bakaneko and Mujina (and possibly other mythologies too)? And he assumes many different forms throughout the story to conceal his true giant "Godzilla" form?
And every time something or someone wounds him, traits of his true form start to reveal themselves (example: someone hacks open his back with a Japanese sword, and his dorsal plates start to bloom out)?
That could make for something genuinely creepy if you ask me.

I thought about the idea back when I was a pre-teen. You don't put too much thoughts into your ideas when you're younger. So long as they sound cool to you, everything may seem fine.MechaGoji Bro7503 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 12:45 pmNow why would Godzilla have been a sentient computer in the first place?LegendZilla wrote: ↑Sun Sep 19, 2021 5:02 pm I just remembered that a long time ago, I came up with the idea of Godzilla being a sentient computer file not unlike Megaman Battle Network.

Putting the idea into consideration, it could work for a kids' show.

I understand your preference for different artists doing their own weird spin on the character whenever a new production is set into place, but would it be the end of the world if they also did a normal and plain Godzilla for each time it does happen? Both people like you guys and me can get our fair share.

Legendzilla, please don't necropost and ask pointless questions. It's also has a definitive answer as the MV is already doing a "normal" Godzilla.LegendZilla wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 5:04 pm I understand your preference for different artists doing their own weird spin on the character whenever a new production is set into place, but would it be the end of the world if they also did a normal and plain Godzilla for each time it does happen?

A human terrorist or serial killer that targets government officials responsible for his family dying and himself being disfigured in a nuclear accident. He models his crimes (in some way or other) after the deeds of a vengeful dragon out of Odo Island mythology: Gojira.

Would make a terrific film or miniseries.

Everyone around here is vocal in demanding more and more "weird" Godzillas, so why would it be any different to want more than one "normal" Godzilla? I just want my voice to be heard that's all. Think of it as one preferring their pizza or ice cream plain cheese or plain vanilla.LSD Jellyfish wrote: ↑Sun Nov 21, 2021 4:39 amLegendzilla, please don't necropost and ask pointless questions.
