I would like to see it, I have two Godzilla fanfictions myself. Gojiverse and Rise of the Kaiju here on scified.
Read, Rise of the Kaiju. I do not plan on continuing Gojiverse in the near future.
Well written, REEEe. Agreed on most points, but even more so than a straight comparison is the fact it decides to bring nuclear weapons/power into the film's thematic conversation and supports a very western viewpoint with it. Not every Godzilla movie has to bring this up, but when they do the films paint it in a negative and apprehensive light. Until 2019 anyway.
Had the 2019 flick not brought it up at all, and instead just focus on its eco-facism, perhaps it would've been less egregious. At least Godzilla vs. Kong managed to avoid the topic overall. But that leads us to what you brought up about how these movies will, "likely become more lighthearted in action, the topics of discussion will be limited and safe," and ultimately not have much to go back to. This is why I've given up hope on these Monsterverse films. Moreover, the mere spectacle it's going for we seen plenty of times before--and often executed better.
Naturally, Legendary will get my money when the next movie is released because, like so many of us here, I'm a fanboy of the material. Though I can earnestly say I've never been more apathetic toward an upcoming Godzilla project. Hundreds of millions of dollars and the most I walk away with is that Godzilla can slap a monkey pretty hard.
I don't think it's fair to compare the two films, as they deal with completely different themes and have very different tones.
The use of the Oxygen Destroyer in KOTM did have consequences in the plot, as it nearly killed Godzilla which almost led to Ghidorah destroying the world. The theme of KOTM was about humanity learning to coexist with nature, rather than working against it. The scene with the Oxygen Destroyer was meant to show how interfering with nature and working against it only resulted in making the situation worse. Humanity was only able to overcome this issue by working alongside Godzilla, rather than against him.
This isn't to say that KOTM is on the same level as the original, far from it, but completely disregarding KOTM for not having the same tone and theme as the original is a bit ridiculous. The franchise has continued to evolve over the years, with the themes and tone of the series continuously changing. You could technically make the same arguments in regards to the other movies in the franchise. The later Showa films had a very lighthearted tone and portrayed Godzilla as an Earth defending super hero, you could argue that those films went against the theme of the original for not portraying him as a terrifying metaphor for nuclear weapons, however, I rarely see that being brought up by the fandom.
think what he means is a new solo Mosura movie I could see a new Japanese Mosura movie(s) but i dont think she has enough pull in the States for a solo Monsterverse movie she may be in the Tv Series though
Comeback in what way? Mothra has always been one of the most popular kaiju in Toho's repertoire--Arguably the second most popular after Godzilla. Where did she go?
Don't read into this list too closely guys lol, this was a guest submitted article, not an actual / reflection of opinion. There are way better Godzilla games out there.
well then I know what doing on thanksgiving break.......
dang, I feel like such a bot promoting my twitter like this..... maybe I am a bot.......
Destroy All Monsters Melee and Save The Earth not being on this list is mildly upsetting...
this list is absolute bull
Jet Jaguar is holding Megalon's horn in frame 14, and Kiryu references the original 1974 Mechagodzilla when his head turns 180. 
monsterzero9 It's funny how you ate a metaphorical ghost pepper right before somebody joined Team Rodan, which is why you wanted to eat that in the first place. Luckily it was metaphorically.
New Update: goji85 joined Team Rodan!
THIS IS TRULY A SHOCKING TURN OF EVENTS!!!!!
I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mmmmmmmmmmmmm! that was a good metaphorical ghost pepper!
its time to eat a ghost pepper!
Rest in peace, Thx for your contributions.
New Updates: Jojozilla just joined Team Mothra! Team Mothra has been rising pretty fast from the past 3 months. I think about 3 months, not sure.
godzilla vs. biollante was one of my favorites. this breaks my heart. rest in peace.
Rest In Peace, His contribution to the Heisei series will be remembered.
Rest in Peace
Final Wars was being written by Wataru Mimura about 6-7 months before Tokyo SOS even hit theaters. (Which might explain why Mimura didn't come back to write Tokyo SOS.) No matter what, Shogo Tomiyama seemed pretty determined to go a different direction.
I might go on another Godzilla marathon soon
Probably explains why they went for Godzilla Final Wars instead of continuing the Kiryu saga
The stinger was just there to ominously communicate that humanity didn't learn their lesson. What happened after doesn't really matter it's just an emblematic moment. The story itself is complete though--It was about that Godzilla and that iteration of MechaGodzilla and it was completely wrapped up by the end of Tokyo SOS.
I wouldn't be against a continuation of that continuity, but given how Tokyo SOS flopped...
