At this point, it is inevitable that they will make him a robot and no I am not thinking about Mechagodzilla. What I mean is, chances are more likely than not that they will literally turn Godzilla himself into a machine.

Inevitable? Don’t think so. Godzilla is meant to be a creature, and making him something else kind of takes the meaning away.LegendZilla wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 5:57 pm At this point, it is inevitable that they will make him a robot and no I am not thinking about Mechagodzilla.

I'd prefer something a bit more simple and straightforward like this as well, perhaps covering hatchling (Baby G), juvenile (Minilla/Little G), subadult (Godzilla Jr.) and a final adult form inspired by more traditional designs with new traits sprinkled in for good measure. But if Toho wants to keep it weird I'm all for that as well.Erimaki Anguirus wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 2:45 pm Showing the entire life of Godzilla, baby to adult, getting stronger and stronger and getting more abilities.

Maybe they'll remember what "Gojira" means and make him an actual gorilla-whale.

The only difference being that they don't actually call it (Mecha)godzilla. They have it pass as Godzilla himself.Gawdziller1954 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 8:50 amIK you said you aren't thinking of MGLegendZilla wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 5:57 pm At this point, it is inevitable that they will make him a robot and no I am not thinking about Mechagodzilla.

A four-legged Godzilla? Or one that behaves like a bear.

I think that Toho's too scared to experiment with certain bizarre ideas for entirely new monsters, so they play it safe and use Godzilla himself as test subject.

Oh.... I can't resist this thread title for some tongue in cheek mayhem!
Godzilla's Delivery Service - where a man sized Godzilla shows up with your package, but only roars.
Godzilla in Ballet - Any sized Godzilla in a Tutu, auditioning for the part of the girl in Sugarplum Fairy!
Godzilla on Broadway - Where full sized Godzilla auditions to become the Killer Rabbit (tm) in Search for the Holy Grail.
Godzilla Hire a Chef - Where the man sized Godzilla shows up, prepares all the ingredients, then burns the house down with his atomic breath!
The real question is, will Toho see the appeal of Godzilla satire anime, and commission it! If it was slap stick enough, I would totally buy that, and play it at family gatherings (along with Holy Grail)!

I actually endorse this. Now I don't want this to become a new standard for Godzilla or anything but for a one time use I think this would be pretty interesting. Toho could reasonably add a distinctive trait of Godzilla like the dorsal plates to such a design so it is still unmistakably Godzilla. If we can't get that then at least make one of Godzilla's opponents a gorilla whale hybrid. It would be a great way to pay homage to the creature's origins.TitanoGoji16 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 25, 2021 11:36 pm Maybe they'll remember what "Gojira" means and make him an actual gorilla-whale.

The last 3 Toho Godzilla’s have been different risk takers for the character. I’m someone who believes they’re missing a huge opportunity with Shin Godzilla. Sooo much merchandise was sold and that movie did insanely good at the box office. That said, I think we’re getting a season two of Singular Point and a more traditional live action Godzilla next from Toho.

Oh, good, we can start that debate again...
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.
