XenotarisGodzilla Fan Works ForumMy own Godzilla universe

I would like to see it, I have two Godzilla fanfictions myself. Gojiverse and Rise of the Kaiju here on scified.

Read, Rise of the Kaiju. I do not plan on continuing Gojiverse in the near future.

Well written, REEEe. Agreed on most points, but even more so than a straight comparison is the fact it decides to bring nuclear weapons/power into the film's thematic conversation and supports a very western viewpoint with it. Not every Godzilla movie has to bring this up, but when they do the films paint it in a negative and apprehensive light. Until 2019 anyway.

Had the 2019 flick not brought it up at all, and instead just focus on its eco-facism, perhaps it would've been less egregious. At least Godzilla vs. Kong managed to avoid the topic overall. But that leads us to what you brought up about how these movies will, "likely become more lighthearted in action, the topics of discussion will be limited and safe," and ultimately not have much to go back to. This is why I've given up hope on these Monsterverse films. Moreover, the mere spectacle it's going for we seen plenty of times before--and often executed better.

Naturally, Legendary will get my money when the next movie is released because, like so many of us here, I'm a fanboy of the material. Though I can earnestly say I've never been more apathetic toward an upcoming Godzilla project. Hundreds of millions of dollars and the most I walk away with is that Godzilla can slap a monkey pretty hard.

I like that it'll be new characters in the TV-show by Noah Hawley. As long as they are well-written I'm all for it. Hopefully it will be worth the wait, it's good that they don't rush it.

As far as Ridley goes as producer, I hope that he won't be able to affect the story, so we'll get another android screw-up. Hopefully he'll have a hand in it looking good. 

“Ridley Scott may never finish his prequel-story, but Prometheus and Alien: Covenant are both moments of brilliant inspiration.”

Brilliant? That's to exaggerate, I think. There are both good and bad things in them. Considering the good and really bad, I got to give them both a 2 out of 5. Honestly, there are things that can be taken from there, like the Engineers and the black goo. Unfortunately, there is too much bad there, so maybe it's for the best to leave them for dead.

I don't think it's fair to compare the two films, as they deal with completely different themes and have very different tones. 

The use of the Oxygen Destroyer in KOTM did have consequences in the plot, as it nearly killed Godzilla which almost led to Ghidorah destroying the world. The theme of KOTM was about humanity learning to coexist with nature, rather than working against it. The scene with the Oxygen Destroyer was meant to show how interfering with nature and working against it only resulted in making the situation worse. Humanity was only able to overcome this issue by working alongside Godzilla, rather than against him.

This isn't to say that KOTM is on the same level as the original, far from it, but completely disregarding KOTM for not having the same tone and theme as the original is a bit ridiculous. The franchise has continued to evolve over the years, with the themes and tone of the series continuously changing. You could technically make the same arguments in regards to the other movies in the franchise. The later Showa films had a very lighthearted tone and portrayed Godzilla as an Earth defending super hero, you could argue that those films went against the theme of the original for not portraying him as a terrifying metaphor for nuclear weapons, however, I rarely see that being brought up by the fandom.

think what he means is a new solo Mosura movie  I could see a new Japanese Mosura movie(s) but i dont think she has enough pull in the States for a solo Monsterverse movie  she may be in the Tv Series though

Comeback in what way? Mothra has always been one of the most popular kaiju in Toho's repertoire--Arguably the second most popular after Godzilla. Where did she go?

I really hope that they will dress her up in similar way to Devs, meaning androginous to piss-off the anti-SJW crowd.

Please get the human characters right, and no focus on androids. As long as they do this, I guess that it’ll be alright. To give us something about the Engineers in some way would be nice.
