How Godzilla 2 could succeed.

SHAZOTHEHEDGEHOG - You make very neat and valid points here! I liked the detail into which you delved to explain your standpoints on the key elements you felt could bring success to the upcoming film! Thank you very much for sharing your persepctives with us! :)

I agree with all of these points. Actually on the more brutallity, did you not see all of those poor people being killed in the stunami!? That probably killed more eople than the MUTOs killed by themselves. Well except for the female. She probably killed a lot of people on her rampage. 0_0

@Something Real, No problem! :)

@Mech Rodann That was one point I missed, i forgot to add that to number 5. lol, I will probably add it later. 

I don't agree with many things here, i never really like when godzilla gets to much screen time, and i like when movies focus on the antagonist and have a deep human story, but id like for them to focus on somene else than a member of the military, maybe someone like a doctor or nurse should be the main focus, that whay you get character development but also get to look at the destruccion and sufering

I think it would be awesome if they build up Godzilla's appearance again, but not to such a degree as the first movie. In fact, the best way to go would probably be to switch the screentime roles: Give Godzilla the small build-up (like the MUTOs in the first) and give the antagonist(s) the massive build up. We know what Godzilla looks like now and acknowledge that he is back in action, so we don't need that much of a lead in for the next film. However, Rodan/Mothra/King Ghidorah are different stories. We have no idea what they're going to look like, how they're going to act, etc. They dieserve the big build up this time around.

Also, on a personal reflection, the ending of this movie (in my opinion) should end on Godzilla taking notice of humans for the first time and promptly deciding that they are a threat to his territory.

Say, he just defeated the opposing kaiju, and is getting ready to leave, wandering off into the ocean. However, some war-happy general under orders of higher powers is looking to destroy Godzilla with powerful weapons. They fire, with much protest from other people, and batter Godzilla. Godzilla is agitated (like he was at the Golden Gate bridge) and tries to turn around, but is cut-off by more weapons firing from miles away on the shore. Hit after hit, explosion after explosion, Godzilla finally takes notice of the origin of all the artillery: All the tanks, battleships, and jets surrounding him (granted they are carrying the bigger weapons). His pupils shrink, but after a direct hit from an ultra-powerful shot (perhaps a heavy-duty railgun), a light obscures the battle in the ocean. It eventually clears, but Godzilla is gone.

Suddenly, the ocean shore receeds again, signaling what's coming. Godzilla rises out of the ocean, and the ending rampage begins. He devatstates the military, completely obliterating them with Atomic Fire. He continues onto the city, lighting it all in a sea of flames (much like the original 1954). He knocks over buildings, crushes homes, and ignites streets. All the main characters can do is look onto the chaos in terrified awe. End on a silhouette shot of Godzilla bathing in the flames of the city, staring ominously at the camera.

Credits!

@JRR The 2014 already tried that briefly and it didnt work, almost every single Godzilla movie's main character is either in the government or the military. As cliche as it is, its the only cliche people wouldnt get bored of. I like movies where the main character fights in some way to protect those he/she loves, but all Ford Brody did was try to see his family, he wasnt doing much at all.

@Matezilla10000 The fact that Godzilla doesnt care about humanity always makes me wanna be afraid of him and THATS what I love about the 2014 film and the 1954 original. Also, good ideas you gave out too :)

Agreed!

Natezilla- Good point, but this Godzilla is said to be a NON HUMAN CARING Force of Nature. and having him not even notice us Humans i think makes his presence more fearful then when he does notice us.

So pretty much to sum up you want more godzilla screen time....i agree, i love the movie, wish he was in it more, gareth does not need to tease us anymore.....

I also agree with the brutality.....i think they need to keep it to a minimum though to keep it pg13 probably, all the destroyed buildings and chaos that is caused, i think it's safe to say you know alot of people died....but i do get what you mean, actually seeing it on screen is different than 'knowing' it happened without seeing it.........one thing that aggitated me a bit in the movie was after godzilla fainted and was passed out.....the cameraman on the news was showing him and the headline said 'thousands missing'........like really? missing? no.....those thousands are likely dead, and its probably millions not just thousands, unless the city got evacuated that quickly....but again, might have to do with keeping it pg13
