Mechagodzilla in the sequel!

Eh, maybe. I don't think it will happen, but yeah, it might work.

Wouldn't fit into the realism at all as we wouldn't be able to develop that type of machine unless the sequel went about 20 years into the future. That and mechaGodzilla is an already overused enemy if they bring some1 back from the old series it needs to be a less used foe.

Mecha G needs a break. He's had like, 5 movies dedicated to him? I'd rather see more new monsters. I mean, otherwise it'd be the Millennium series all over again. "HAY YOO LIKED MOTHRA AND MEKKA GUDZILLA RITE? HERE HAVE SOM MORE"

I say go for it.

Nope, not a good idea. Hummanity "all of a sudden" getting the technology and ressources to build a robot made sense in movies like Pacific Rim where so much time went on. Here, it wouldnt go. Besides, id rather see something more interesting like Gabara (Yeah, i said that!" or Baragon.

Maybe it could work, because Germans have been making Giant Mechs for a while now.

Not to sound overly negative, but Mechagodzilla most certainly does NOT fit the whole "realistic" thing that Edwards and Legendary Pictures are going for. Remember that this is Legendary Picture's interpretation of Godzilla, and taking more monsters from the Toho universe would be nothing short of contrived and irresponsible. Creating their own monsters and creating a fresh and new legacy for the Big-G in America takes precedence over pleasing fans who want to see new versions of Toho monsters, including Mecha-G. I know that Mechagodzilla has a lot of die hard fans who want to see a modern interpretation of him (not counting the millennium Kiryu incarnation), but the sad fact is that Mechagodzilla is not a "realistic" image. A crossover between Pacific Rim and Godzilla would be about as realistic as a giant robot vs Godzilla could get in a modern movie. To put a final nail in the coffin on this subject, there would be no logical reason to model a robot after Godzilla himself just because he happens to be the strongest of the Kaiju they've faced. Godzilla is bulky, slow moving, and has a power source as a Kaiju which human beings cannot possibly understand. Read the following information and you'll understand why: http://www.angelfire.com/ego/g_saga/kaijubiologyarticle.html A Mecha-Godzilla in the Legendary Pictures line up would be an obviously forced effort on the part of Gareth Edwards and LP to reproduce Toho's success, and as one of the most successful movie making companies in America today there is no reason at all for them to force themselves to turn to Toho's creatures for help. Mecha-G is an awesome monster, no arguments or complaints, but it doesn't belong in Legendary Pictures Godzilla franchise anymore than any other Toho monster does besides Godzilla himself.

"That and mechaGodzilla is an already overused enemy if they bring some1 back from the old series it needs to be a less used foe." This coming from the guy who keeps moaning that the realism factor will take away elements like Mechagodzilla. Becides, better they use a famous foe like Mechagodzilla or King Ghidorah rather then a kaiju no one cares about, like Baran. And that isn't even true. The realism factor will only go as far as peoples reaction to Godzilla and the other monsters and given that the idea of harnessing nuclear energy is in itself unrealistic then who's to say that mankind won't build Mechagodzilla as a counter measure? But given that the sequel will be based on Monster Island, it's hard to imagine how Mechagodzilla will fit in.

"This coming from the guy who keeps moaning that the realism factor will take away elements like Mechagodzilla. Becides, better they use a famous foe like Mechagodzilla or King Ghidorah rather then a kaiju no one cares about, like Baran." Yes, i said it'd take away all the mechs, and any potential new ones; was mechagodzilla the only mech, no..... I the only reason peoples don't care about other kaiju is because toho has a thing for, despite having a wide variety of potential foes, putting the same 3(King Ghidorah, Mothra, and MechaG) in every other movie. This is finally a chance to see the lesser known enemies and you want to go back to the same thing? don't see why.

Well,probably not Mecha-Godzilla. Maybe possibly a Jaeger-like version of Jet Jaguar AT MOST,and even that is stretching it. Also,Kyero,THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one who knew of that intuitive article!

I haven't read too much in this thread, but I figured I might offer a brief two cents. There's something called tonal consistency in film and it's often passed from sequel to sequel-- especially in western films. No one's seen the movie yet, but if the trailer is anything to go off of I don't think a traditional MechaGodzilla would fit. Unless MechaGodzilla is just a really spectacular tank with Godzilla jaws painted on the side, which is not what fans would want, I don't see it appearing in this or any following films.

Please no MechaGodzilla! I want new monsters

I believe Mecha-Godzilla would be a fit here. After you've exhausted all other weaponry against Godzilla why wouldn't they build it. It could still stick to the horror theme. A CGI King Ghidorah done right would be something I'd pay to see as well. It is realistic in the sense many irradiated mutations have multiple heads. Or perhaps it gets transported by aliens so anything goes. Gigan with the circular saw blade in his torso and Megalon with it's drill bit arms are far more unbelievable. It depends what Kind of a movie you want to see. Horror and realism or Kaiju wars with King Ceasar !?!? ( wtf is that thing?). Gojira the horror movie is much different than Son of Godzilla where Godzilla looks more like the Cookie Monster. Rodan was a horror movie like Gojira and could easily be added and updated CGI wise to be scary and realistic. The thing is some monsters cater to the " destructive Godzilla" theme while others cater to the "Savior of earth Godzilla" type movies. Mecha-Godzilla caters to the darker Godzilla theme so it would fit

Thank you Bubbazilla. I agree that Mechagodzilla may have been overused in previous Godzilla movie, but they could recreate Mechagodzilla's design slightly different so that it is their own unique version. I mean I personally like the idea of them adding their own monsters into the mix, but it would still be cool to have SOME of the originals appear. I mean even if they didn't decide to go in that direction, but the ending of this new movie might conclude with scientist trying to develop a way to defeat Godzilla and in the background you see what looks like blueprints of a Mechagodzilla type machine. Just to even tease some of the original kaiju would be pretty cool.

mechagodzilla shouldn't be in the sequel, I think he should appear until like the 3d or 4th film[img][/img]mechagodzilla shouldn't be in the sequel, I think he should appear until like the 3d or 4th film

I agree with Zillaater and Samzilla. Mecha-Godzilla SHOULD NOT appear in any of the sequels Godzilla 2014 may spawn. After cific Rim and Pacific Rim 2 being worked on, I really don't want to see any mechas for a while. But if mechas do appear, I would rather have Jet Jaguar or M.O.G.U.E.R.A. worthy of being a challenge for Godzilla. But lets take a count on how many Godzilla and Godzilla Spin off movies have mechas: King Kong Escapes: Mechani-Kong - the first Kaiju vs Mecha movie Godzilla vs Megalon: Jet Jaguar Godzilla vs Mecha-Godzilla: Mecha Godzilla Terror of Mecha-Godzilla: Mecha-Godzilla again Godzilla vs King Ghidorah: Mecha-King Ghidorah Godzilla vs Mecha-Godzilla 2: Mecha-Godzilla Godzilla vs Space Godzilla: M.O.G.U.E.R.A. Godzilla X Mecha-Godzilla: Kiryu Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.: Kiryu again But as much as I want to see the lesser used classic Godzilla kaiju (1954-1995) return for subsequent sequels I want to see newer ones rise from the depths. When it comes to humans opposing kaiju, they should construct Attack ships like the 3 Super-Xs or the ships seen in Final Wars. Lets stay away from the Mechas for a while please.

On a fan boy level, I want the sequel to have Mecha G, King Ghidorah, and several other Toho Kaiju, but from a more realistic standpoint, I'd guess Mecha G could only appear in a sequel if enough time passes between movies, or if the first one isn't as "dark and realistic" as we're being led to believe. That being said, I wouldn't mind if they make another original kaiju for a sequel, but I would be extremely disappointed if there isn't a Toho one in it as well. Obviously redesigned to fit the theme and style of the movie, but still recognizable. And no, I don't think it would come across as Legendary/ WB/ Gareth/ whoever shamelessly trying to copy what Toho has done, but rather be more like honoring them. Also, you can't tell me that if you were in the theaters opening night and you see your favorite villain show up that you wouldn't be super excited. Heck, I get teary-eyed just thinking of the possibility of Destroyah happening
