In all honesty I'd prefer it doesn't happen. I like Gamera, but it's just been too long for a dead IP t be revived.

It's only been 15 years. The SW prequel series was 15 years after RotJ. First Star Trek film was 10 years after the original series ended. Godzilla's had his own hiatus for 10 years. Ultraman for 16 for 80 to Tiga in his home country. Not to mention, stuff like Shaft getting jump started (twice) after huge gaps and various television revivals after 15-20 and even nearly 30 year gaps (X-Men!)

Not to mention the 15-year gap between Super Monster and Gamera GotU. And maybe even more pertinent: Kadokawa just this year produced and released a sequel to a 2005 movie (itself a reboot of a tokusatu property that had been dormant since 1969).

There's also the fact Hollywood has been apparently resurrecting unnecessary sequels of 80s/90s belated franchises like Bill & Ted, Coming To America, Jumanji (Unpopular opinion, I did not like the sequels and those movies would have been better off being their own IP), Matrix, slasher icons like Halloween and Scream for the sake of nostalgia. Not to say there have been exceptions like Blade Runner and Bad Boys and potentially Top Gun which seems like it might be promising.
To say the least, irrelevancy means jack**** at this point.

TBF, Halloween 2018 nor Scream 2022 aren't reboots, and more so just continuations.. and i'd say Scream deserved another shot at the movies to begin with considering how AWFUL Scream 4 was.GodzillaFan1990's wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 11:07 am There's also the fact Hollywood has been apparently resurrecting unnecessary sequels of 80s/90s belated franchises like Bill & Ted, Coming To America, Jumanji (Unpopular opinion, I did not like the sequels and those movies would have been better off being their own IP), Matrix, slasher icons like Halloween and Scream for the sake of nostalgia.

Re: An American Gamera Movie: How should we do it?
I'm of the opinion there are franchises need to stay dead (Looking at you Alien and Predator...) or just left alone as they are notably the ones from the 80s, 90s especially when ending on fine conclusions.
But that's a topic for another discussion so I'll just drop it here so we don't get off-topic.

Re: An American Gamera Movie: How should we do it?
Halloween 2018 was dismissing previous developments in the series in order to return to the original version and start over from there. That's the definition of a reboot.Gigantis wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 11:51 amTBF, Halloween 2018 nor Scream 2022 aren't reboots, and more so just continuations.. and i'd say Scream deserved another shot at the movies to begin with considering how AWFUL Scream 4 was.GodzillaFan1990's wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 11:07 am There's also the fact Hollywood has been apparently resurrecting unnecessary sequels of 80s/90s belated franchises like Bill & Ted, Coming To America, Jumanji (Unpopular opinion, I did not like the sequels and those movies would have been better off being their own IP), Matrix, slasher icons like Halloween and Scream for the sake of nostalgia.
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.

Re: An American Gamera Movie: How should we do it?
Hm Halloween is kinda like the Godzilla series with different continuities now y'know? There's like the classic 1 through 5 I think, with 3 being the odd one. Then Halloween H20 just followed 1 and 2 I think. Then the previous one just followed the first I think? Or maybe it was the other way around.

I just like how the trilogy's Godzilla looks...Mac Daddy MM wrote: ↑Tue Nov 30, 2021 5:38 pmAll except for Legion and the guy with the Netflix Anime Godzilla avatar.

Don't report me, Vaks, I'm only messin'.
But seriously, I have lost all interest in the Monsterverse. It started out strong, but went in a direction I just don't want to see anything else in it any more. Unless GvK proves a fluke and future movies treat it like a mistake to be forgotten, and I don't see any universe where that happens, it's dead to me. So an American Gamera movie could be something that I could look forward to again, a big Hollywood special effects kaiju film I can actually watch and enjoy, but not if it gets roped into the franchise that made the only Godzilla film I truly regret watching. Then it'd be the same as if they still weren't making a Gamera movie for me. I don't just want a Gamera movie so I can see him on screen with Kong and Godzilla, I want him in a movie I think I might actually enjoy watching. And I don't trust the Monsterverse to deliver that for me, personally.
Can't we just be allowed to ask for a good Gamera Hollywood film, this Damn fixation on crossovers and shared universes be damned?
I unapologetically, wholeheartedly, and without a doubt hate Godzilla vs Kong.
