I'm almost certain he won't appear in the MonsterVerse, but I'd die of happiness if he was.

1. Still biological. Still an animal. Even if he was created.

2. That just makes it even MORE unrealistic.

I'd honestly be all for Legendary abandoning realism in the MonsterVerse in favor of making fun movies if it meant we could have things like Gamera.

I'd rather have gamera in the shin godzilla universe if anything. All the established kaiju so far wouldn't stand a chance against a rocket powered flying saucer turtle.

I think people has a wrong concept about the realism in the Monsterverse. It's not about the kaiju, but about the people, and how they would react to the arrival of giant monsters in a "realistic" setting. We already have "parasites" capable of generate supposed EMP's; a giant amphibian who feeds on radiation and spits blue energy beams; part plant, part animal creatures; a giant bipedal hominid; and we will see a giant goddess moth; a giant pterosaur and a three headed golden dragon who shoots rays and is (supposedly) able to do interplanetary travel.

If it is not about the kaiju being realistic, then why does Godzilla have stump feet? Why does Godzilla have gills?

Regardless, people reacting "realistically" should be a much bigger priority than making the kaiju themselves being "realistic". The MonsterVerse should be no more "realistic" or "believable" than the MCU or the Showa series.

I mean, c'mon now, we have literally an implied hollow-earth of all things in the MonsterVerse. Legendary should do anything but commit to "realism".

Design choices. A lot of the artwork for Godzilla illustrates him in different ways, like a giant T-Rex with spines, and even a modernized Heisei design.

If I had a dollar for everytime someone said, "It's realistic cuz how humanz react", I could purchase my own kaiju. Its bullshit. These movies are packed to the gills(pun intended) with design modifications, [some] realistic explanations, and research. These films are not exclusively realistic in the way society reacts to monsters, but also the origin and science of the monsters as well. For example, the elephant feet and gills on Godzilla, as Hokmuto mentioned.
Its late and i'm tired so I don't have many examples, but the film-makers take realism into consideration on a level other than just human response.

Back on topic, I'm sure you could include Gamera in the monsterverse with either removing his crazy abilities or adding some intelligent origin for them. If Godzilla can expel the radiation within him through atomic breath, It's not much of a stretch that gamera could do so through another orifice on his body. Perhaps strech the suspension of disbelief and have it be some kind of chemical reaction inside his body.

No. Gamera will never come to the Monsterverse. He doesn't fit at all with the grounded vision that the MV has established with Godzilla & King Kong

1. Considering how little we know about space, it's at least not completely inconceivable, unlike rocket-boosted turtle. Plus, it has the potential to look cool rather than stupid. Unlike rocket-boosted turtle.

2. Who says Mothra will actually be a literal "goddess" in this film? Seems to just be a foregone assumption by a few fantasists on this forum and nowhere else, with absolutely no backing from the studio or anyone else on the planet.

Thank you. 99.99%. of space is unexplored, never even seen by human eyes. The universe is HUUUGEE. We don't know what kind of life forms reside out in the deep depths of Space. Gamera's Alantian bio-weapon origin is a completely different realm than Ghidorah

By this same logic, who's to say Gamera would have the same origins as his Showa/Heisei counterparts? Saying he'd have rocket-boosting abilities is conjecture, too.

Tull knowing who Gamera is ups his chances if Godzilla vs Kong and kotm makes bank like I think they will.

Also anyone that thinks Gamera looks too silly.needs to go watch the Gamera 3 scene where he wrecks the city. Same with Shin's first form and then the nuking of tokyo.

There is nothing wrong with Gamera having a "cheesy" entrance if he immediately does and acts badass right after.

Also nothing wrong with saying a fictional lost city of Atlantis built him either.
