i dought

As someone who, for a good chunk of my life, was constantly bullied and viewed as an "outcast" because of my love of monster movies like Godzilla and King Kong, I would LOVE to see the kaiju/giant monster genre be as popular as superhero movies. Sadly, though I don't see it happening anytime soon. :(

Ah, darn.

Things don't have to be MCU popular, but maybe the MonsterVerse should stop bringing people that should be in the MCU in THEIR universe (examples: Millie Bobby Brown, Ken Wantanabe, etc.)

HinikunaGoji,
I think they should've increased his pectorals. This particular design is known for being quite muscular and it's not quite hitting:

I don't know if "popular" is the right word since Godzilla himself certainly exceeds popularity beyond say, Shang-Chi, based on longevity and pop cultural significance. Will the kaiju genre ever be as mainstream as superhero movies? I don't see it happening and that's perfectly okay. I actually prefer the genre being something tighter and smaller that is for the proverbial "cool kids" club.

A lot of what makes the genre unique is its Japanese inspired roots--Meaning the special effects, the Japanese cultural influences, etc. I for one didn't get into the genre because of western effects and mentalities. I got into it because it did look so foreign and unique. Whenever we try to Hollywood-ize this stuff it doesn't quite hit the same. Even in cases where it's extraordinarily well made, like Pacific Rim, there's a western mandate looming over it that has clearly not appealed to either myself and clearly not huge swaths of general audiences.

I think the best mentality is to stop worrying and let the kaiju sub-genre be the entity it is. It doesn't have to be "MCU popular" and honestly I'm very happy with that. It's something else entirely for a different audience.

This is solely Japanese related. Toho has historically not announced new projects on Godzilla Day, so the odds of the Monsterverse being mentioned is even less likely.

What we can look forward to is a lot of merch announcements, celebratory antics and, of course, the Godzilla vs. Hedorah short which I am stoked for. Undoubtedly there will be a few surprises as well.

I'd love to hear an announcement for Godzilla Singular Point Season 2, but again, I don't think that's likely at this event.

I think it could be if done well and in the right way. But I find it unlikely. 

That being said. Monsterverse isn’t really mainstream, many people who have seen GvK haven’t seen any other movie in the series. 

I feel Godzilla shouldn’t be served as an equalivalent to Marvel, like Monsterverse has done. That’s one of the reasons I think G14 did well.

This is put out by Toho, and not by WB so I wouldn’t expect much in the realm of monsterverse. More about future Toho projects. We may learn of the new contracts with WB, but I wouldn’t expect it.

MonsterVerse news hopefully???

Something about Godzilla 1991 looks wrong, I think it’s the eyes

Well the actual celebration is in Japan, which is night if you live in the USA. 

But it’s just day for Japan. Godzilla is Japanese

also dangit! i wont be awake to watch goji v. hedorah 2!

o well...

circle of life!

as g3 gamera does

I love the Gamera 3: Gamera it looks amazing

I think the SP MG and MV MG are too recent to include this might’ve been planned before the designs were official.

Great!!!

These look great (not a fan of the Polygon Mechagodzilla though), too bad the MonsterVerse Mechagodzilla wasn't included in this set.

That shirt at the top left looks amazing!

HinikunaGoji,
Agreed. It's too bonkers looking not to like at this point.

I would've loved the inclusion of the SP MechaGodzilla--Though I understand why we're not seeing figures of it just yet.

Not gonna lie, I really like the Anime MechaG, it needs a bit more love

Ooh! Nice!

YES, DOUG IS DOUG.
