I can’t really see Toho kaiju becoming titans, even in movies, not only because they each are attached a cost, but as in previous times we see they don’t really attract crowds. So it would be easier to make up new ones then spend money on monsters that typically wouldn’t affect the box office.
Yeah, the cost of using other Toho monsters would probably be greater, if not maybe a little less than what they paid to use Rodan, Mothra and King Ghidorah, so they may not have them due to financial reasons but they might, idk have a small cameo or mention of some of them. But as for my chose to see what Toho monster in the show, I’d go with Baragon, Gigan and Megalon
Maybe not for the show, but it's possible that they could be used in the future. It seems unlikely that Legendary would renegotiate their contract with Toho and purchase the right to use Godzilla, to only use him in this one show. It's likely that we'll probably have some more movies and comics with Godzilla, so it's possible that some other Toho kaiju could show up in them.
HinikunaGoji,
Exactly. That financial gamble didn't pan out for King of the Monsters and, if rumors are true, led to Rodan being cut from GvK.
The TV show is already going to have an uphill battle of putting out similar visuals from episode to episode while trying to keep the costs down. Licensed monsters would just make that a lot tougher.
That said, I don't necessarily see it as an impossibility, just a supremely unlikely one. Best case scenario is it's mostly original monsters and much, much fewer Toho kaiju.
The only films currently categorized in this era are Shin Godzilla and the GODZILLA anime trilogy.
I’m not sure it’s likely, each IP is worth money so..
I’m not sure they’d spend that much money just for fans
Yeah, it feels likely. Biollante, Anguirus, Varan, Gigan, Destroyah, Zilla, Jet Jaguar and Shin Goji should all show up.
I want Biollante, Varan, Destoroyah and Zilla
I'd say the main (4th) form, but that seems a little too obvious, so I'm gonna go with the 2nd "Kamata-Kun" form because he looks like a googly-eyed armless frilled shark/moray eel/rubber chicken hybrid and is just too weird and goofy not to be loved.
Yes, it was. And I want a trailer like that for this show.
It was very exciting seeing this new trailer come out back then.
If they eventually did a alternate dimension/multiverse plot point with Shin Godzilla (or possibly other Toho incarnations) showing up and meeting the MonsterVerse Godzilla, I would be all for it!
Also, it'd be amazing to have a teaser trailer like this: Godzilla 2014 Announcement Trailer - San Diego Comic-Con 2012
As in the "Shin" content, but you had a good point by the merch sales.
That would be interesting. Using the series to bridge the gaps between films could help with world building, it would also give them plenty of ideas to work with.
Behemoth. Definitely
I agree actually. They’ve been far more interested in they’re more recent projects, but I find it hard they want to phase Shin out entirely, he’s been very profitable for them, ie: rides, merchandise, etc.
If involved in this MV series, I’d kinda want to see shin show up at a point. but I don’t know
Im confused by what you mean by “ditch reiwa” that would imply they just stop making things post 2016 which is when the reiwa era is.
The 5 years between KOTM and GVK could use some more background. Here's my 3-season idea:
Season 1: Takes place between Godzilla (2014) and Godzilla: King of The Monsters. Godzilla along with more original Titans show up, and I would like to see characters like Biollante and Gigan appear in that season. Most of the human characters are all new, but potential cameos could include Ishiro Seriwaza (Ken Wantanabe) and Emma Russell (Vera Farmiga).
Season 2: Takes place between KOTM and Godzilla Vs. Kong. Entirely new human cast lineup, with possible cameos from Mark Russell (Kyle Chandler), The Chen Sisters (Zhang Ziyi), and Houston Brooks (Joe Morton). It should bring back some of the KOTM Titans that had smaller screentime, and Rodan. I'd also like to see some other Toho characters, like Anguirus and Varan.
Season 3: Takes place post-GVK. Focuses on the characters established in the previous two seasons with the possible supporting role of Madison Russell (Millie Bobby Brown). I think it should bring Mothra back along with all-new Titans to pal around with Godzilla. That's all.
Ok, how was that?
I think so, but they'll probably ditch the Reiwa and move forward with the "World of Godzilla" initiative.
I would be in genuine shock if any other Toho monsters appeared.
Honestly I’d like it to focus between GvK and KOTM or pre GvK in general
I think they'll have just Godzilla and some new monsters for the first season (since that will be post-G14), and then go into a world post-GVK in future seasons.
Awesome! I want to see Godzilla (obviously), Scylla, Behemoth, Rodan, Mothra, Kong, Na Kika, and so many more. I'm just so happy the Monsterverse continues. Maybe we'll get classic enemies like Gigan, Megalon, or SpaceGodzilla?
To be honest I don’t ever hear anyone say, When I go home, I’ll relax on the couch and watch Apple TV +
Thankfully, I have Apple TV Plus. So lucky me, I'll probably be one of the first to report on the show when it releases...
Its like Shin Godzilla borrowed the skin texture, the eyes position of the head and tooth arrange of Destoroyah
This is certainly exciting.
This is super exciting however like Gman, I'm not super thrilled about shelling out more money for another streaming service I probably won't ever use besides for this series. Online streaming used to be convenient but it's slowly turning into prime time cable with clusters of annoying subscription services, each increasing rates year after year. Between Netflix, Amazon Prime, Crave and Disney Plus, I'll have to add Paramount Plus (for the Halo series) and now Apple TV Plus for Monsterverse series? RIP to my bank account. I was hoping Legendary would strike a deal with a larger streaming provider like Amazon or Crave.
Also, I've updated the footer text to reflect the new direction! I will also be working on updates across the site to highlight and focus news and updates on this new series. Keep an eye out for that soon!
Yeah, that would be really cool. It could connect all of the movies while offering new stuff as well.
An anthology series could be pretty interesting.
Yeah, that's true. How was my anthology pitch?
King of the Monsters started with them stating that Godzilla had been "missing" for the past 5 years, however it was later revealed that Monarch had been monitoring Godzilla the whole time. So Monarch was still keeping information hidden from the public at that point, it's possible that smaller incidents with Godzilla and some other monsters happened without the public knowing about them.
Now that's a good point. This first season could cover incidents involving Godzilla that were covered up following his resurgence in SF.
The incident involving MUTO Prime happed shortly after the events of 2014 but was covered up by Monarch, so it's possible that other incidents involving other monsters were covered up as well.
I mean, the retcons could also give excuses for more film and TV installments to clear this up I guess. Also, this seems to be making our MONARCH show ideas come to light. Also, I think an anthology trilogy would be a great format for this show. It could focus on one crop of characters in the aftermath of '14, KOTM, and GVK. That's for each season. They could also have existing characters that are tied to Godzilla in supporting roles for every season.
