I've already had a discussion slightly related to this..but In regards to the new movie, I HOPE Godzilla is not some, "Anti-hero". I love all of the Japanese movies. Godzilla is humanities last hope and all, it was fun. However, this movie is going back to the roots of Godzilla, as well as attempting to be as realistic as possible. I have said it before, but Godzilla is a CREATURE. An atomic formed animal that happens to be larger than life itself. I want him to act like one. As if he were real. I don't want it to be, "Monsters are destroying the world, and only GODZILLA can save humanity ! =D" NO! I want, "Monsters are devastating humanity, but Godzilla, a force of absolute nature, may be our true end". Yes I know, it sounds corny, but I want to fear Godzilla and the other monster. Not root for him because he'll catch me if I fall off a cliff lol Anyways, what are your thoughts G fans?

Honestly I'd rather Godzilla be an anti-hero. I don't think it's a smart idea to make him a flat out villain at this point. Remember GMK? While I like that film, it tried to make Godzilla the ultimate evil. But it "failed" in a way cause most people who saw it ended up rooting for Godzilla when he fought the 3 monsters. The audience WANTS to root for Godzilla. But they want to fear him at the same time. A role I can compare it to is the T-Rex in Jurassic Park. The T-Rex was a dangerous animal that remained a threat, but ended up being the "hero" when it "saved" the characters from the bigger threat at the time which was the Raptors. The best take of Godzilla would be in some of the 90's G films like Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah and vs. Destroyah. He was still a danger to mankind, but ended up being the lesser of two threats. Does Godzilla need to be a superhero like in vs. Megalon? No, not like that. But personally, I prefer the anti-hero take. Nether good or bad, he just is what he is.

I think in the movie, the humans will be the bad guys, burning the sky, contaminating the sea, killing whales and stuff, Godzilla is just the plague exterminator, who comes to save our planet from ourselves.

Depending on what monsters he fights in this movie, this is unknown so far. As of now, the only other monster that we know for sure will be in the movie is that insect thing, and that didn't even come up to Godzilla's knees. Unless the other mystery monster is huge and powerful, Godzilla will likely be a full-on antagonist. But again, we do not know what the other monster is yet.

My thoughts as a G-Fan? I think you're wrong to wish for him to be a hero because he was created to be a metaphor for the horrors and the evils of the Atomic Bombing of Japan. He was, in all technicality, a villain to start. A menace to the world rather than simply a force of nature. And I'm talking about the original 54', not the '56 American adjusted version with Raymond Burr. And my thoughts as an observer in these postings and debates? This post of yours was absolutely pointless. Plain and simple. Godzilla has been confirmed to be an anti-hero. A force of nature which takes no sides and shows neither sympathy nor animosity towards the human race. To say that you don't want him to be an anti-hero says that you don't want this movie to be made at all because guess what? He's been confirmed as an anti-hero. If you're going to post something like this as a means to start a debate, at least do so on information that is either yet to be confirmed or construct it in a way that doesn't challenge or undermine what is already true about the film. Godzilla's an anti-hero in this movie. Deal with it.

@KYERO, You need to relax. I did not say I wanted him to be a hero. I am simply stating I want him to be more animal-like. It is my opinion. Deal with it. I respect yours, However Im not going to be rude and say you're"wrong" and that your thoughts are, "pointless" Geez. If this post bothered you so much, why waste your time and comment? @GODZILLASAURUS, I hear about there being 2 monsters, then I hear about the insect like creatures, I have no idea lol guess I'll have to wait. I'm hoping there's a monster just as big and powerful as Godzilla. @INCREDIBLE FULK, hmm, I like your point of view. Thank you for that :)

Gareth Edwards confirmed this Godzilla will be an anti-hero. A force of nature.

KAIJUSAURUS is right, our Godzilla is a "force of nature". In this movie it's an anti-hero, that's confirmed. Now that "force of nature" could, in a future movie, work in favor for us.

I believe in Jesus Christ, who's my Lord and Savior.

This is a non-debate... Godzilla will be a monster; a huge creature that is a threat to the entire world, who behaves like an angry animal, not some intelligent, reasoning being. The whole hero/antihero concept doesn't apply to a more realistic film like this one...

@ZODGILLA, this is what I was trying to explain in the post. I fully agree with you. He is a creature, not something like the Hulk lol
