The Kaiju/Monsterverse Thread (Kong & Godzilla)

[BatmanFanatic93]

I'll probably do it eventually just gotta find decent some heisei godzilla & showa monsters pictures & modified them so they can resemble both jr all grown up & update the showa monsters  but in the mean time what do you think about my list?

List is cool. 

It's kinda perplexing that Megalon never got revamped or re-appeared in the Heisei/Millennium realities, if even just because of name value due to that film being one of the better known Godzilla films in the world. Also, I like the Mechani Kong idea. That's another I wouldn't mind seeing brought back at some point.

I dunno if i answered this in another thread or maybe i posted something it on another website but just to be safe there is a small possibility that megalon could have been in the Millennium series cause in the opening of godzilla final wars where godzilla gets trapped in the ice there was lighting coming out of the ice when the earthquake hit & i'm no scientist or anything but i'm sure lighting doesn't appear out of the ground when a earthquake hits  but anyways it's my understanding that the earthquake could have been caused by megalon as he is the 2nd burrowing type monster monster with the power lighting to do that not only that but the Millennium series is the 2nd series to bring back showa monsters again in sequels with godzilla like godzilla vs. mechagodzilla 3,gmk,& final wars all with showa monsters.

You know, I think I read somewhere that Megalon was intended to be in FINAL WARS, but was excluded at some point during production. So it could be something to that. Plus, to be perfectly honest, there was a consensus of fans who thought FW was tied into the Showa Universe, but I think Toho struck that notion down and stated that FW was more of an homage, and not directly involved with the Showa films.

With the redesign of Gigan in FW being pretty spectacular, would have loved to have seen how/if Megalon would have appeared.

Ah joker finally i was beginning to miss you

You know i can see that FW was a homage to showa series mainly cause FW was clearly a remake of destroy all monsters but as a tie in to the showa series is waaaay off partly cause of continuity problems & questions about where the hell the other showa monsters were during the events of each godzilla movie in the Millennium Series as none of the films makes any reference to them or about monster island where all of the godzilla monsters live but then again like you said "Toho struck that notion down and stated that FW was more of an homage, and not directly involved with the Showa films." so i guess we don't have question it but it's still a mystery where they all came from not only that but if FW was a tie in the showa series how come the godzilla in the film had flashbacks of godzilla vs destroyah of jr all grown?....could it be that the film was intended to jr's movie?

Was the flashback you are referring to during that quick-cut opening title sequence at the beginning of FW? It's been a few years since I've seen FW, and don't recall any specific Destroyah flashback, unless of course it was during that opening title sequence ..... which if so, I wouldn't read too much into it. As it just came across as a celebratory clip show for the-then 50th anniversary of Godzilla, and the continuities that are apart of the history.

Since I have Gigs and Megs is on my mind, here's a pic for fun.

Okay a little update director Ryuhei Kitamura the man who directed final wars intentionally wanted final wars to be a sequel to godzilla vs destroyah because after the opening title sequence where godzilla has that flashback of jr all grown up it turns out the godzilla in the film is acutally jr & that monster x's role was actually meant to be destroyah's moment just to make the final battle abit more personal for both jr & destroyah but thanks to toho interfering they had to change the script to the way it was as the movie came out but little did they know Ryuhei kept the original opening same way as he intended so basically despite the changes done godzilla in final wars is clearly jr all grown up oh & i also read that in the final battle between godzilla vs kaizer ghidorah Rodan, Anguirus, and King Caesar were actually suppose to help godzilla fight him as they were both free from the Xilien control thanks to godzilla's help plus in the behind the scene feature on the dvd it shows the monsters with godzilla fighting kaizer ghidorah on set but for whatever reason they cut them out of the final battle in the final cut.

[The Joker]

Appreciate the info.

I was not aware of any of that.

Too bad the grown up Junior vs. Destroyah match didn't transpire, that would have been interesting to say the least. Another one of those "what might have been" ideas.

[BatmanFanatic93]

No problem & like you said

& i agree i think Jr fighting destroyah again in final wars would have made the movie abit more enjoyable i mean i love the film as is but having destroyah come back & trying to take revenge on JR would have been something to see as destroyah is the doomsday to godzilla.
