Creating your own monster would be awesome. Even though depending on the physics of the game it might be weird, like if you were to put King Ghiroah's neck(s) and head(s) on Mothra's body would that mean the monster is very top heavy lol? I would like to see a big story mode, maybe something like you play through each movie from '54 to Final Wars where you fight every monster (or just the army if there is only one monster).    

While Final Wars was awful, the celebration and anticipation throughout that year was incredible:

- Godzilla: Save the Earth for the PS2
- The star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
- The mass of merchandise
- The amount of Godzilla movies being released/re-released on DVD, etc.

Final Wars may have been a critical and box office bomb, but the road to it was a lot of fun.

Daigoro for the lulz.

Anguirus is probably my favorite but I feel like he's going to be introduced soon anyway. Maybe Manda cause I always thought he was cool but I'm not sure if he'll be in this version.  

I think that IDW and GMK got a lot less credit then they derseved here. As for IDW, we have to remember Godzilla in Hell. Here he is shown to be especially resilient, even with most of his powers stripped from him, he was shown to be remarkably powerful. As for GMK, he is one of the only ones who has died on screen, and the second to "come back". The first being Zilla '98 in Godzilla the Animated Series.

I really want Conrad to return in Godzilla vs Kong but as protagonist not someone who pits them both against each other.

Biollante or King Caesar.

I think for me the 2 stand outs are Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster, and Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla(74). It's really hard choosing between then I'd probably have to sit down and rewatch them both before I could really pick a standout.

As for which decade was my favorite, probably the 50th, not because Final Wars(bottom 5 g movie IMO) but as a fan I remember a lot of Godzilla movies got special releases in the states.

I agree with KaijuWorld. While I like the design of the monsters in Godzilla (2014), if I wanted to see an anniversary film with a memorable human plot and a whole lot of monster action, I would have to go with Godzilla: Final Wars.

What made me a godzilla fan? It was when I was like 8, and my grandpa put on All Monsters Attack. I barely remember any of it, but after that, I just liked godzilla. Then, a few months ago, I just started watching all the showa and heisei movies on starz and other movie apps/websites. Here is my list of every godzilla movie I have watched so far(In my memory)

Mothra vs. Godzilla

Ghidorah, the three headed monster

Invasion of the Astro Monster

All Monsters Attack

Terror of Mechagodzilla

Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah

Godzilla(1998) (I like the movie)

Godzilla vs. Megaguirus 

GMK

Tokyo SOS

Final Wars

Godzilla(2014)

Shin Godzilla

Monster Planet

City on the Edge of Battle

Gigan or destroyah . Those two would look awesome and would Godzilla 's greatest opponents by far. 

I think he drew king ghidorah , mothra , and rodan exactly how they will look in the film. Good,  job this is awesome.

godzilla 2014 as a favorite movie, but final wars is a better anniversary because of all of the monsters in that movie.

it has been a while since there was so much talk on one of my topics. I am just saying that every opinion is welcome on this site. these topics are just my way of doing things and I am totally fine if anyone has a different or negative opinion on them.

You guys have to remember that I am just taking Heisei origins and modernizing it, making some changes and fitting it into the monsterverse. I always like to have these topics both similar to its previous origins and add some new elements.

I do want to point out that the human cells probably didn't even affect this version of Biollante. only the Godzilla cells are mutating the creature.

"How do you pull that off with the realistic tone the MonsterVerse has established?" really, that is your argument. this universe is as believable as a 100m tall lizard with atomic breath, a 30m humanoid ape, a godlike moth and a 3 headed dragon (possibly from SPACE). you could say the same about the MCU and they have gods, talking trees and a raccoon with a machine gun whilst being realistic. Biollante (even with the addition of cell mutation) is already perfect for the monsterverse as she is and the bioengineering fits in with the overall tone of the monsterverse.

+ this is sci-fi, it is not meant to be fully realistic and believable. people don't go in these movies with a science book so they can break down every element from a story to say it is unrealistic.

I can totally understand the idea of making Biollante an already full grown creature from skull island. it fits in with the logic of the universe around it, but how would it fight Godzilla if she is there. surely it would have to fight kong instead (though that could also happen). I also think that saying that is was a huge creature from skull island would be kind of lazy. by making her be a mutated plant from the island with some Godzilla cells just makes it a little more interesting.

"But it is the most effective way to reboot her without complications. Simplicity can be just as effective, or even more." I don't think that you understand the premise of a reboot completely. a reboot should improve a character and its story, should make it more timeless and make it fit in its new universe. just simplifying a character for a reboot is the exact opposite of what you are supposed to do with a classic character.

"Biollante is a flora/fauna hybrid, that alone is already interesting." if that was the reason, megalon would be as incredibly popular as Biollante. the reason Biollante stands out is her design and her message of experimenting on plants. that message is one of a kind in the kaiju franchises.

these are just some of my reasons I made the topic the way it is. everyone has their different reasons when creating a story and this is just one way to do it, MY WAY. everyone is allowed to create their story the way they want. that is something to remember and I am happy to hear your opinions (even if they are negative).

And you MrAwesomeness360 should do the same. saying stuff like "these bullshit ideas" about just someone's opinion is not very nice to someone who has put hard work and research in something. PlainsViking respects my ideas and gives his take on the character of Biollante without being rude to me, so maybe you can learn some more from him.

Mecha Godzilla checks the boxes for me.

Definitely Gigan, he's always been a favorite of mine, and it would be interesting to see how Legendary would implement him into the Monsterverse

• "I just think it lacks creativity." But it is the most effective way to reboot her without complications. Simplicity can be just as effective, or even more. Take it from me: there's nothing wrong with simplicity.

• "With a genetic manipulation angle a more layered and meaningful story can be developed." The problem with that is that there is a lot of "how?" and "why?" that you need to answer to then justify that particular reason to add a certain character into the mix. How do you pull that off with the realistic tone the MonsterVerse has established? That's the question right there.

• "That’s also one of the main things that sets Biollante apart from other Toho monsters and makes her more interesting." Biollante is a flora/fauna hybrid, that alone is already interesting. Just think of how interesting a creature like her could be if she came from a more mythological direction.

• "Mixing G Cells with plants ties into well known current day science and would be equally believable to GA" Referring back to the tone and premise the MV has already established, everything about it so far is along the lines of myth and science meeting, Monarch makes scientific studies on the kaiju, but when they themselves are presented they feel not like overgrown animals but rather living gods. Genetic engineering is a real science, but it is yet to be established in the MonsterVerse and might not even be a thing there yet.

Anguirus or Baragon.

The gargantuas would be cool...also mechagodzilla, wonder if they could buy the rights to gammara

Since there was confirmation of the oxygen destroyer, I think it would be nice to see Destroyah could fit. Hell apparently there an end credit scene with charles dance character receiving a crab form of destroyah but that's just a rumor.

@MrAwesomeness360 We’ve already had an entire movie based on monsters from Skull Island. I don’t disagree that it’s a natural way to introduce/reinvent her, and that GA would buy into it. I just think it lacks creativity. With a genetic manipulation angle a more layered and meaningful story can be developed. That’s also one of the main things that sets Biollante apart from other Toho monsters and makes her more interesting. I completely agree about ditching the human DNA aspect, it’s far too woowoo for the Legendary universe. Mixing G Cells with plants ties into well known current day science and would be equally believable to GA, and to my personal taste would be far more interesting. 

I'll go to left field, I would like to see Megalon

@PlainsViking
• "However, I fear that if the Monsterverse was around long enough for Biollante to be introduced then the “it came from Skull Island” approach would be tired and audiences wouldn’t engage as much as if she were man made."


1. I don't think the "It Came From [X]!" thing hasn't been done since...well...ever. It would rather be a refreshing thing to see again.

2. The FANS wouldn't engage it, the general audience (the people who the MonsterVerse is targeted to first and foremost) would be rather surprised by the sight of her. Besides, being a natural resident of Skull Island is the most practical way to introduce her that feels fitting for the tone of the MV. Godzilla and others have so far been introduced in a way that feels mythological, like some sort of gods, establishing Biollante in this angle is not only a new way to re-invent the character, but it's also captivating for the GA and they'll buy it easily.

MrAwesomeness360 I think that approach has a lot going for it. However, I fear that if the Monsterverse was around long enough for Biollante to be introduced then the “it came from Skull Island” approach would be tired and audiences wouldn’t engage as much as if she were man made.

I like all of these ideas, they play to the history of the character really well. I would like a slightly different approach though. I think it would be fun to have Biollante as a completely modern creation with no initial ties to the ancient world Godzilla is from. 

Imagine an idealistic unnamed scientist working for a Monsanto allegory company, attempting to solve world hunger or something like that. Due to lack of results the company tells him they’re going to pull his funding if he doesn’t have a breakthrough soon. In desperation he turns to the black market and blows the rest of his budget on recovered G-cells, then mixes them in with his plants. A few weeks later the plant kills him (not necessarily on purpose) in the lab and escapes. No human DNA mixed in, so less of a human style drive for Biollante. 

I think this this kind of origin would be easier for mainstream audiences to swallow, and it could fit into the Monsterverse narrative as a man made Titan as it were. Play up in the idea that Monarch has no clue what to do because they’ve never seen a situation like that before.

Thoughts?

First of all, I've read your pitch on ETN's Biollante pitch video, it is the same here as it is there. Second, I'm brutally honest, so I'll tell you that my reaction to your whole pitch is just the same as it was on YouTube. Third, there's an easier, simpler way to adapt Biollante without resorting to insane idiocy:

1) Straight off the bat — completely take away any biological connection she has with Godzilla (or a scientist's dead daughter) and have her be her own entity. Pure sci-fi and complicated elements from the classic Toho films just don't work in the MonsterVerse's realistic setting. It'll piss off the fans for sure, but if it sells her for the GA then it's a small price to pay.

2) It's already established in the MV's Skull Island that many of the animals have aggressively evolved to a point where they've become a natural hybrid mix of flora and fauna, and Biollante is already a florafauna creature so you can make it work from there. She resides peacefully in one of the swamps or lakes of Skull Island where any unsuspecting creature can go in for a drink, her tentacles can camouflage as natural foliage and even detect when an animal is nearby. Any animal that's close to her vicinity, she'll ambush it with her tendons and drag it down and drown it like a crocodile, and in any worst case scenario should she be threaten or struggle, she'll reveal her massive self and use her jaws to clamp down and crush her victims with tremendous force, and for self defense she shoots out her acid sap breath.

No G-cells, no Frankenstein experiments, no crazy bullshit ideas, just a very short, sweet and simple way to adapt her and make her feel believable for both the MonsterVerse and the general audience.

Biollante for me! Given where the plot seems to be going f

 Biollante would be my second choice. Was a close call between Her and Gigan. Seeing a lot of people choosing Anguirus!

Probably Mechagodzilla or Gigan. Both would be a little hard to fit in, but bot would work so well. For mechagodzilla, we already saw how amazing he looked in Ready Player One, so seeing him against the gang would be sick.

Easy. Biollante.

Hey, guys. Remember when Godzilla had passed this Monarch Outpost in the ocean next to South America when he went to Australia? Well, as of the time that this comment is posted, he is heading directly towards that same ocean outpost. What does it mean?

Looks awesome. Maybe a little unlikely that it will happen in the actual film, but it's still cool nonetheless.

For me, even though personally I would really like to see some sort of Godzilla Jr. in the Monsterverse, I would have to go with Mechagodzilla, simply to have all of the "Big 5" be included in the Monsterverse.

That is a tough choice. There are so many others I want. I guess my top choice would be Anguirus. He's one of my personal favorites and I would love to see him and Godzilla fight side by side again.

Gigans cool mothra worm stage. After out egg mothra full moth i like all them

first of all, thanks for the shoutout. :)

second of all, it is so hard for me to narrow it down to 1 kaiju for this question. I have 3 on my mind (Mechagodzilla, Gigan or Biollante), but I would have to say Mechagodzilla. I just really want the main 5 Toho monsters in this universe and Mechagodzilla is the only one (as of right now) left out.

btw, to anyone who says that a giant robot Godzilla is too unrealistic for the monsterverse, I say to them that this is the Sci-Fi genre. this genre is not meant to be realistic or believable. the monsterverse already has a giant lizard with atomic breath, a giant humanoid ape, a 3 headed dragon (possibly from space), etc. so why can't Mechagodzilla fit in.

WOW, thank you so much. I would never have thought that this series would get so far.

as of right now, I don't have any plans for more topics in this series. I am kind of waiting for some BIG news that announces more monsterverse movies, then I am going to make some more of these topics. there are some monsters like Hedorah and Orga which I which I would like to make a topic out of for this series.

if there are any monsters you would like to see in this series, please tell me them. I am all up for other peoples ideas and maybe even a concept which I could dive into for a certain monster.

 Mine would definitely be MechaGodzilla. If you look back at Tokyo SOS, Mothra(Adult and 2 babies), plus MechaG, they EASILY can kill Godzilla. And the MechaGodzilla in the showa series almost killed Godzilla. Without the help of the humans, Godzilla would have died to MechaGodzilla and Titanosaurus. Now, if they just normally challenged each other(Which I haven't seen the original movie), but made in like 2025 with enhanced Godzilla, I would like to see the winner.

This series has really gained momentum, so I've added a sidebar feature with links to every topic posted so far! Great work, KaijuWorld. As you post new entries in this series I will add them to the sidebar list. :)

Me personally, I would add Anguirus.
