Last time I checked G 2014 ran away from missiles, then fainted after killing two monsters who had no powers. I rank him weakest until I see what he does in KOTM.
Final Wars is the toughest hands down. Shin is close tho, even though I hate him. Every other incarnation falls somewhere in the middle.
Special mention: Burning Godzilla and GMK Goji
Any monsters that can fit in.
Who would you throw in the mix then?
Throw MG and KG in there and see how tough Godzilla and Kong really are
I just don't want them, especially the aliens.
Cranston should have been the main character of that movie, and should still be the main human character of the Monsterverse. He's freakin Heisenberg. It failed on Godzilla action, Godzilla fainted like a big ole wussy, and it was so damn boring. I blame Gareth Edwards.
Power Rangers, Pacific Rim, and Kong were all better movies. I expect KOTM to top them all though.
Thank you Godzilla 2014, glad you can see the vision
I would be ridiculously happy if it was Anguirus, but I don't think it'll be him.
TBH as this series goes on the crazier it's gonna get, Ghidorah is already extremely likely to be from space, so why not have mechs. Pacific rim showed a way to make giant mechs yet keep it feeling realistic.
@Gman
That's pretty much the case with any Godzilla license deal from Toho, really. Japan copyright laws are a bit different from American. In America, companies can buy property from other companies for use over a given time frame and do as they please with the property until the time frame or the deal is up. With Japan, however, no matter the contract, the original property owners still have a direct say whether something happens or not. As in, if one day the original company decides "you know what? This other company has started to treat our property incorrectly," they have full rights to cancel the deal; whether it has concluded officially or not.
So yeah, with Godzilla licensing, it's basically the same thing. If Toho goes "you guys are damaging our property," they got full rights to pull Godzilla out. I would expect Legendary has to keep close tabs with them.
Sounds cool but no aliens, just no and no mechas either.
Godzilla had a small panel as a thank you to fans. Skull Island might have the same thing, but I'm of the mind it's going to be at SDCC to push the Blu-ray release since it just came out.
You say, "why else would Kong be at SDCC", but Godzilla had a comic con panel for 2014.
No Batman vs Superman please. Just made a new topic about this b4 reading this. Please take a look at it
I'm thinking it's going to be a new monster. I want to know what was in Pakistan tbh.
How could they not make a new Gamera film is beyond me!
Shin is one of my all time favorite Godzilla films, so I am looking forward to see what they put out next. Hopefully Legendary leaves enough space for them to put out another good film.
I hope and dream for Anguirus, but I don't believe it is flashy enough for the studio to agree to it. I would be even more happily surprised if it was Titanosaurus, but I think that has even less of a chance.
Toho said they couldn't make a sequel or any live action follow up until after 2020 due to the deal they have with Legendary which prohibits two live action Godzilla movies being in production at the same time. The reason Shin Godzilla was made was because there was a gap of time Toho took advantage of where they were able to put a Godzilla film in production. It seems that during that time, Legendary was not permitted to put Godzilla 2 in production since Shin Godzilla was filming. Now the reverse is happening. Toho can not put a Shin Godzilla sequel in production because both Godzilla 2 and Godzilla vs. Kong will be filming for the next two years.
Apparently this either doesn't apply to animated films since Godzilla: Monster Planet is coming out--Although since that movie is being produced by Polygon Pictures, it's likely their deal doesn't apply to Legendary.
Actually I'm not so sure there will be anything after GvK, as Toho just recently said that they couldn't make any movies until after 2020, Idk why but that's what they said.
My brother introduced it to me. He asked me to watch king of monsters and I loved it. The ironic part is I needed a pep talk about how it wasn't real to watch it.
Third monster for GvK?
Yah, but still Fanzilla, wouldn't the Soviet Union still view Monarch with a great deal of suspicion? I guess that the Soviets allowed Monarch to continue it's operation, with the condition that it allowed Soviet surveillance.
I was under the impression that Monarch was international. So far in the Monsterverse we've seen members from the US, Japan, and the UK.
Willnotbenamed,
I think anything of that nature will depend on the success of Godzilla 2 and Godzilla vs. Kong.
Also, Wanda, the Chinese conglomerate that now owns Legendary Pictures, was just restricted to completing some form of overseas deals with Legendary. It's unclear how or if this will affect future productions from Legendary, MonsterVerse or otherwise, but it could be a potential roadblock post-Godzilla vs. Kong: China Blocks Dalian Wanda from Completing Overseas Deals: Report
Also the deal with Universal that allowed WB and Legendary to use Kong is a bit hazy. The King of the Monsters probably knows and/or could speculate more on the topic, but it's always possible that Universal gave WB/Legendary Kong as a one-and-done deal--At least in terms of solo flicks. We just don't know how much power Universal has over the character since Kong's rights are a bit cloudy--At least to me.
But under normal circumstances, I'd say a Skull Island sequel would be a done deal. A character-franchise launch of $566 million world wide is a pretty significant sign of a moneymaking series, especially when you consider some early Marvel movies, like Captain America, made around $150-200 million less. I'd love to hear about a Skull Island sequel announcement, but right now all eyes will be on 2020 for his next big screen event. Any thing else might be seen as a distraction from that.
Got a question for you. How likely that a KSI sequel will be confirmed to be in development at the SDCC?
Kong: Skull Island will be making an appearance at SDCC in the form of a Skull Island experience. Likely it's to push the DVD/Blu-ray release:
Kong: Skull Island Experience Heading to Comic-Con 
Anything else will either be a surprise or very small. It's likely Legendary doesn't have anything ready for either Godzilla 2 or Godzilla vs. Kong so they're pushing Skull Island to keep the MonsterVerse in people's minds.
I hope that there is something, but I'm not holding my breath.

This was sick....they know it....they will provide us with the Kings second fatality move in the next movie.... I mean that was just GANGSTER....
^
Fair point, If its a trailer then they better release it online(They did it with Suicide Squad movie, so yea).
^
I hope its Hedorah(Shut up, I can dream).
Not really TherizinoRex, they had a trailer for this movie over a year ago. It's about time we get a poster or at least another trailer.
I don't think GKOTM is going to be in SDCC, its to early.

I actually agree with this. Shin Godzilla has better CGI than Kong Skull Island. After watching the dvd of Kong, I was a bit disappointed with how much green screen I could see with a lot of shots as opposed to the theatrical run. This is why I will always prefer practical effects over CGI. Practical effects are more of an art form and not a relic. And, Shin Godzilla, although CGI, actually looks like practical effects in terms of visuals. When CGI is done correctly, it can be great to look at. While Shin Godzilla does have very rough CGI effects in the early part of the film, it got better and better as the film progressed.
While I don't want to sound like a negative nancy here, I wouldn't hold my breath nor would I be disappointed if something Godzilla related doesn't happen at SDCC 2017. The chances are slim to none on Godzilla vs Kong being announced at the event, but there is a slight possibility that something might happen with Godzilla fathom 2019 at the event.
Right now, there's no real confirmation on anything Godzilla related happening at the event, besides Twitter's Kong Skull Island page announcing Kong will be at the event, but there could be a number of reasons why. It could be an announcement of a sequel film, it could be the director coming out to thank everyone for making the film a success, etc.
Although if something does happen at the event mentioning something of these future Kaiju films, my bet would be some teaser posters at the most. I still think it's way too early for any trailer to pop up, but then again, I don't work for these companies. We'll see soon I guess. Like I said, not going to be disheartened or feel like crap if nothing happens.
Shin Gojira at least delivered destruction on an epic scale.. where as Edwards version teased us. And when shin G was walking around.. you heard almost every footstep.. Edwards G.. too stealthy. The G movie should incorporate all the sounds that one would hear when monsters of that size a scale.. are battling. TOHO a least got that right.. in most of their G films. It's epic.. it's grand.. it makes money. Shin G showed what descent CGI can do. I have the video that breaks it down.. and it was pretty good. If we had seen more of that in Edwards film.. then the burden of carrying the G films in America.. would not have had to rely on Kong.
