    Which Kaiju do you guys want/think  Legendary will use in the upcoming MonsterVerse movies?  

my top 5 that we don't already know about would be..

•Destroyah

•MechaGodzilla

•Mecha-King Ghidorah

•Battra 

•Gigan

***Anguirus

***Burning Godzilla

   Which potential Kaiju battles are you most excited for? Godzilla and Mothra vs. Destroyah would make for quite a visually stunning battle(imo)

    And if Toho decides to make another Godzilla movie post Godzilla vs. Kong, could we possibly get another Kaiju movie in the MonsterVerse not involving Godzilla?

I don't really think he needs to be related to the oxygen Destroyer to show how likely he is. That comes from the fact he's toho's most popular monster yet to be confirmed in the legendary universe. If legendary is going to use toho's monsters chances are they're going to go for the ones that already have some type of marquee value.

@Im Durp I realize that he is the most popular that is yet to be confirmed, but I'm going off of what information we have so far, none of which seems to really relate to anything MechaG. I hope I'm wrong though, the original bad guy MechaG is due for a remake.

TBH I'm happier with classic monsters showing up than new ones. Hollywood nowadays is very desperate and are constantly making pathetic attempts at bringing back franchises. I mean looking at the Mutos, they're perfect examples. Hollywood is to scared to step out of the box so they just make the same monster, it's Cloverfield but an insect. Unless we got some really creative wheels spinning I think making new monsters is going to turn out bland.

To be fair, many of Toho monsters are also bland.

Godzilla Generations was a beautiful game! I loved the fact that there's a laser cannon inside of Dr. Serizawa's eyepatch.

So getting back to which monsters we should see in the Monsterverse, I think that Battra should appear in GvK since Mothra is appearing in GKOTM.

What Toho did with the limitations of suits is light years more creative than what Hollywood has been doing with monsters and their over-produced CG over the last two decades. Arachni-tiles invade Hollywood!

At least Pacific Rim and Colossal moved away from the Hollywood arachni-tiles. I'll take the novelty of three headed monsters, cyborgs with hook arms, upright, horned larva creatures and mechanical doppelgangers over spiderlizards every day.

Battra should appear in MonsterVerse Mothra film as a villain.

There should also be an article on which Toho kaiju people would want to see the least of in the Monsterverse, such as Hedorah or Minilla or even Orga.

While I agree with the sentiment @Gman, I'd rather see the Monsterverse make new monsters that don't necessarily become classics then see rehashes of the old favorites. It'd be fun to see an original Monsterverse creature make their way to a Toho film actually. 

I've always been partial to seeing new things than getting the same old stuff again and again, especially if new and/or interesting things aren't attempted.

I'm really hoping we get a solo Mothra movie, with or without Battra. I think it'd be the one movie in the MonsterVerse that is kind of "out there" I like to picture it as Kong Skull Island meets Avatar. Mothra could also help to appeal to the female audience as well, in a genre that pretty much only men watch.

The Legend of Brian,
I can appreciate that sentiment, certainly, but when the new stuff is so incredibly underwhelming compared to the tried and true you lose hope after awhile. There's a reason Mothra and King Ghidorah returned after Orga and Megaguirus--Both of which rank among some of the most forgettable monsters in the series... Next to the MUTO, really.

I thought the Skullcrawlers were okay, to be fair, but completely unremarkable--And that's a problem. If these things don't wow me or look like something worthy of Godzilla's (or Kong's) attention I begin wondering why they even bothered at all--It's too underwhelming. Conversely, perhaps underwhelming is what was needed for Godzilla's first film in this series. I suppose they need not upstage him in a more proper return to Hollywood. Still, pairing him with the MUTO was like sitting Christopher Plummer next to Hayden Christensen in a Shakespearean drama. Only one is going to benefit from that and be interesting.

If Legendary can surprise us with some really neat, memorable creatures then I'm all for it. They were beating around the bush with Pacific Rim, but the Monsterverse in nowhere near the mainland and I simply can't get excited about the prospect of new creatures from them.

Gman,

I can see where you're coming from as well. I agree that most of the creatures thus far have been underwhelming, but that's why I felt that of the Millennium and Heisei movies were retreads. 

I think part of the reason is that we've had some of these classic monsters for decades. I'd imagine if Godzilla 2014 was your first Godzilla movie, the MUTOs would seem pretty darn cool. It's hard to get excited for new things when they aren't reminiscent of what came before. I think Legendary also put themselves in a box by describing the creatures in the Monsterverse as naturally occurring. Sure they could work their way out (aliens, mutants, etc.) of it if that's where the money is, but I don't most audiences would as readily accept it as most Godzilla would. There's no Guardians of the Galaxy to bridge that gap in the Monsterverse.

And what exactly does that mean (and I am asking this for people who haven't seen Guardians of the Galaxy)?

Many thought that GOTG is going to be Marvel's epic fail and boy they were wrong.

So the reverse effect of the 1998 Godzilla movie.

idk what you're trying to say but let's just get back to the main topic.

I know. My little sister typed that in, sorry. But anyway, I think that if the Monsterverse is going to have any new monsters in it, they should make original mechanical monsters. They were doing something similar in Pacific Rim, so it doesn't seem crazy to do the same thing for the Monsterverse. Who agrees with me?

That would kinda steal Pacific Rim's thunder tho, maybe is just me.

Edit: Although If Legendary wanted to introduce mechs in the MonsterVerse then I want them to introduce Jet Jaguar for very stupid reason that I won't go over.

Pacific Rim has far more satisfying original monsters. If future Monsterverse movies are made and they go the original monster route, they need to consult del Toro and his design team--Not necessarily to create carbon copies, but to find a better philosophy for designing these things.

On the flip side, I'm far more interested in original monsters from Toho. I think Shin Godzilla could potentially set itself up for interesting original creations--And Higuchi hires far better designers than the team Edwards and Vogt-Roberts pulled in.
