Should I have used the term "serious" instead of "dark" in reference to the tone I would like to see the next film take.
The sad part is there are so many ways to both craft a thrilling story as well as create stunning visuals that would appeal to fans of the more traditional "suitmation" proponents as well as fans of more modern techniques.
Imagine if D&E didn't screw the pooch and did a motion capture version of any one of the popular g-suits and that was inserted into real locations like they did with GINO....even if the story was the same, CGI and motion cap would be more well embraced in the fandom circles.
Oh, and I want to be very clear.....I love the camp of the latter Showa films, I could watch Megalon over and over....

I think Toho did play around with this "dark" or "serious" notion during the Heisei and Millennium periods. The majority of these films were not like the 70s movies. But, every time that happened - making Godzilla a mean and indestructible force, it made the plots quite stale. The theme of "we must stop Godzilla" became rather musty. Tanaka, Honda and company, I thought were wise to get away from that formula in the mid 1960s, resulting in less serious, but otherwise enjoyable features like "Monster Zero". And Godzilla himself, I think became a much more interesting character as a result
They can make it dark or serious if Toho wishes, but don't get caught in formula that can loose a lot of energy quickly.

^ Godzilla returns as a total baddie.
So now that we have this total badassed monster running around.
How do they make that concept a series?
Is the new series just humans against him like the Heisie and Millenium series?
That didn't pan out so well.
