if you could do a novelization of the Gamera trilogy

[Henry88]

if you had the chance to do a novelization of the Gamera trilogy what would you change to improve the plots of all three stories?

[O.Supreme]

Get rid of the Emo nature and pseudo Hentai relationship between the antagonist female and Irys in GIII. Also I'd give Asagi Kusanagi a more consistent portrayal in II & III as her role seemed to diminish in each successive film.

Give GII more of an actual story, as opposed to just a mechanical plot.

Don't get me wrong, I love GII, but it's pretty thin compared to the other two entries.

G2 is one of the best written kaiju movies ever. It's mechanical and beautiful, like a Swiss watch.

Ambiguity is great, but nevertheless I'd be crazy interested in if Kaneko or Ito actually worked on a novel or supplemental work that dig into the copious world building that's obviously in the Gamera trilogy.

... hell, I don't read Japanese. I'm sure a wealth of such information exists in those 'making of' and 'art of' books published in Japan.

i would have Irys talk with Ayana on multiple occasions to whip up anger against Gamera and mistrust to everyone else around her.

Huh. I always felt that initially Ayana was influencing Irys as much as Irys was influencing Ayana.

That was my reading as well.

well considering Irys is a gyos I thought to give it a more sinister vibe if that was possible considering how it eats.

Wow, you know what I'd like more than a novelization?

I was just thinking about Netflix's success with Dreamworks animated series like Trollhunters and Voltron (and now the upcoming She-Ra) and I think Gamera would make a great series of that ilk - perhaps CGI in the style of Trollhunters. I think using the Heisei movies as a starting point could make for a good series: Asagi getting the comma-shaped amulet and the Gamera/Gyaos created by Atlantis backstory and mana being a major plot point. Later you could start expanding and bringing in other monsters; maybe Zedus, Jiger, and Barugon are other Atlantian experiments? If the low-level of the Earth's mana attracted Legion than it could also attract Zigra and Viras, right?

It sounds like it could be great, but I keep thinking of that awful King Kong series on Netflix...

^While, I'm assuming comparable quality to the series I mentioned, naturally! Kong was a much more low-rent affair.
