I’ve always wondered how this fit’s into the mute life cycle.
Indeed, it's great to see that the MUTOs are getting some love.
we dont have enough muto merch
Here's how I think a 70s/80s MonsterVerse would play out. I kept the stories relatively similar to the actual MonsterVerse, while connecting it to the 1976 King Kong and taking inspiration Godzilla 1984. I also took into account how the films would be made and the budget they would have, so certain elements from the MonsterVerse have been toned down a bit.
The first film would be an alternate version of King Kong (1976). It would follow the events of that film for the most part, although certain things would be changed. Skull Island would have a lot of other creatures on the island (not just a giant snake like in the actual 76 film) and there would be more hints about Kong’s species. The film would end the same way, with Kong being captured and taken to New York where he escapes, climbs the World Trade Center and is eventually shot down by helicopters and is presumably killed.
The second film would be an introduction to Godzilla and would have a similar plot to the 1954 and 1984 films. Godzilla would be around 260ft tall (similar to his early Heisei size). He is awakened by a nuclear explosion in the North Pacific and begins attacking various fishing and military ships. The military attempts to kill Godzilla, however they only provoke him, leading him to attack Tokyo. Realizing that modern weapons have little to no effect on him, a group of scientists would come up with a plan to lure Godzilla to an active volcano and cause him to fall into it (much like the 1984 film). The film would end with the characters unsure if Godzilla survived or not.
The third film would be a sequel to King Kong's story, revealing that he wasn't killed after being shot down (similar to King Kong Lives) and was taken to a secret containment facility where the military begins to study him and perform various experiments on him. A group of scientists and soldiers (the beginning of Monarch) who were formed after Godzilla's attack on Tokyo, are sent on an expedition to Skull Island to study the other creatures that live there. The team discovers that in Kong’s absence the creatures on the island have gotten out of control, with some growing much larger and fiercer. The team realizes that Kong kept the island’s creatures in check and taking him off the island caused its ecosystem to become unbalanced and decide to return him. However, Kong manages to break free from the military’s containment facility, with the military pursuing him across the US. Throughout the film Kong begins to grow larger (thought to be caused by the military’s experiments on him), starting around 55ft (his size in the first film) to eventually being around 125ft tall by the end of the film. After the military’s failed attempts to kill him, the movie would end with Kong being sedated and brought back to Skull Island, where Monarch would set up an outpost to monitor Kong and the other creatures on the island.
The fourth film would have a similar story to Godzilla 2014, with another monster (who would play a similar role to the MUTOs) being awakened. Godzilla would reawaken from being dormant inside the volcano and would begin to hunt the other monster down eventually resulting in them fighting (possibly in San Francisco). Godzilla would eventually kill the other monster (seemingly defending humanity in the process) and would peacefully return to the ocean. The idea of the Hollow Earth would also be introduced in this film.
The fifth film would have a similar story to King of the Monsters and Ghidorah: the Three-Headed Monsters with Ghidorah arriving and attacking Earth. Monarch would discover myths and artifacts that reveal Godzilla as an ancient protector of the Earth, and that Ghidorah had visited Earth in the past and had been chased away by Godzilla and Mothra (more information on the Hollow Earth would be uncovered). A new Mothra would also be discovered and she would eventually grow and aid Godzilla in battling Ghidorah. Ghidorah would eventually be killed by Godzilla and Mothra (Mothra wouldn’t die in this version), with the world now viewing Godzilla as a protector rather than a threat. (Rodan and the other Titans wouldn’t be included, I figured that, based on technical limitations and budget for a film made in the 80s, the film would only focus on Godzilla, Mothra, and Ghidorah).
The sixth film would basically have a similar plot to Godzilla vs Kong. Skull Island has become geologically unstable and has been sinking into the ocean, with the other Skull Island creatures and Native tribe being wiped out as a result. Kong has grown to about 200ft tall (it is revealed that his growth wasn’t a mutation caused by the military experiments, instead the experiments actually accelerated his natural growth). Monarch learns that Kong’s species originated from the Hollow Earth and they decide to bring him there. Taking him off of Skull Island eventually leads to his fight with Godzilla (with Godzilla potentially winning). Rather than having APEX and Mechagodzilla in this version, it would feature a group of rogue Monarch soldiers taking control of Monarch superweapons (maybe something similar to the Super X3) in an attempt to kill both Godzilla and Kong (potentially setting Mechagodzilla for a sequel). Godzilla and Kong are forced to team up in order to defend themselves from this new threat. The film would probably end the same way as GvK, with Godzilla and Kong going their separate ways, with Kong being relocated to the Hollow Earth. (Note: The Hollow Earth wouldn’t be as crazy as it’s portrayed in the actual MonsterVerse due to budget and technical limitations).
Kong would have the same design as he does in the 1976 film, Godzilla would look somewhat similar to the 1984 design, Mothra and Ghidorah would look like their Heisei counterparts. The special effects would be similar to the effects used in the 1976 King Kong and Heisei Godzilla films with suits, animatronics and miniatures.
Also Godzilla needs to keep his Legendary roar
I would expect the film to be American made based on the fact Toho wasn’t making films, so I would expect it to be played like a serious movie, like the American version of King Kong vs Godzilla 62’. And I think marvel Godzilla would behave like the marvel Godzilla, not Hanna barbers, because king is sympathetic and I think it would be hard to have a nice Goji fight a Kong.
But marvel Godzilla happened in the 70s, that crossover didn’t happen in 2010s.
it might not be godzilla but just.....LISTEN to the lost world jurassic park theme.
it doesnt get the love it deserves
Nothing beats the 2010s.
But everything should stay the same including the kaiju roars.
Amazing Sculpture!
That Skull Island has way too much singing on it... :)
what about the musical skull island lol
That was my point in saying it would be a good ending for me if king wasn’t getting continued.
I don’t expect more Godzilla movies from America to happen, the circumstances that allowed 2014 to be made aren’t present anymore and toho’s most recent projects have done pretty well in they’re main target.
Not to mention the fact that Godzilla needs to have one more movie to give him the proper MV exit he needs.
It's funny how no one has chosen the 1976 version yet.
Come on, it deserves some love too. I mean, it had a really big snake on it and... uh... actually that's about it...
Personally I don't think it would be a satisfying ending, mainly because there's a lot more that can (and probably should) be explored in this universe. If the series ended with GvK, there would be a lot of questions that would be left unanswered. Such as, What happened during the ancient Titan war, how did it start? What happened to the Hollow Earth Kongs? Why did Ghidorah come to Earth? Are there other alien Titans out there? What lead up to Ghidorah being frozen in Antarctica? What is the Hollow Earth energy source? How did ancient civilizations coexist with the Titans? What lead to the Titans going into hibernation for thousands of years? What is the origins of the Titans? Plus, we've only seen a fraction of what's actually in the Hollow Earth and given how we've had 3 movies building up to the idea (There's even some references to the idea in Godzilla 2014), it would be a major missed opportunity not to explore it more.
I think it would be a satisfying ending for me. I personally have found all my questions about this story answered, especially the hollow earth.
Honestly. Don’t think Godzilla will continue being in the MV. But like SasquaDash said, Godzilla vanishing for no reason would be weird. And how they got rid of him would matter. We wouldn’t want the Goji fan base to be angry at MV for ditching him in a lousy way, like just saying, “Oh he died” or something.
I would find this ending satisfying if Kong was not getting another film.
Yeah, it's too abrupt for Godzilla. They've also set up larger roles for Kong, and I think Madison's story is not finished as well. What we need it closure.
I feel like it would be too abrupt of an ending for him. If Godzilla's going to be absent from the MonsterVerse (at least for now) then I feel like he should get a bigger send off than just him swimming away. It seems like Legendary might continue the MonsterVerse with Kong, though Godzilla's role in it is uncertain. But considering that the MonsterVerse started with Godzilla and the fact that he's currently established as the Alpha/Apex titan of the series, I feel like it would be weird for him to just vanish without any explanation. If they did something similar 1984, where Godzilla falls into an erupting volcano and is presumed dead, I think it could be a good way of explaining his absence while still having the opportunity to eventually bring him back in the future.
Personally as much as I love the original 1933 and MonsterVerse versions, my favorite is the 2005 version. I feel like it was the most interesting version, with how it was presented, the way it looked, the creatures on the island, and the history that it had.
I personally like MVs,
it feels very distinct
I didn't include the Toho versions (Faro Island & Mondo Island) either, as they are technically separate from Skull Island, despite being based on it.
I only included the versions connected to the films, so versions only connected to books or animated series aren't included.
Hehehe you are all pathetic i am destroyah the conquer of worlds the destroyer of planets you will fear me and than evan after you join me i will still end you i am destroyah
SasquaDash,
As I said, music is the one fairly consistent thing in the Godzilla series that's of high quality. David Arnold needs to be hired for more work these days. I certainly miss him doing Bond flicks.
Some fans may not like me saying this, but I always thought the 1998 film had a really good soundtrack. It was one of the few genuinely good things in the movie.
Pov: Plot armor doesn't exist in Godzilla vs Kong
Yeah! I created a feature that lets staff front page forum topics and it actually publishes as an article by whoever created the topic! Automatic crediting. It definitely deserved homepage exposure!
Wow, wasn't expecting the post I made about the video actually becoming a full article and I wasn't expecting to be credited in it, Thank You. :)
Also keep in mind many of the actors present in the MV have taken on darker projects, so it's feels off that they don't go all in.
It was really cool!
This guy has been making these for a while actually, and He has a Xenomorph comparison one as well.
I've front paged this as well to help get this video more views! Pretty incredible it's done over 1.4 million in just for days.
Right? So well done!
Always enjoy comparison videos like these. The animations are great! Personally, nothing beats 1989 - 90s for atomic breath.
I would love to see a darker, R-rated Godzilla flick, with the same atmosphere as the 2012 teaser. I think of the Monsterverse films 2014 did the best job of this though, but it could have been much darker.
