I'm obsessed with late 70's Godzilla, so, you know, ALL of those. "Suicide Strategy," Devil, Gargantuas, Asuka Fortress, and ASG. If I had to only pick one, I'd go with ASG, because it's easily the most amazing and incredible thing I've ever heard.

I was working on a thing for a while, like a fan fic sort of thing, where I somehow went into a parallel universe just like ours in every way except that the late 70's Godzilla movies DID get made, and so it would be me talking about the production and plots of them and how their releases played out in that world, accompanied by sketches of the monsters, suits, posters, etc. It also would have encompassed Nessie and Battle of the Galactic Empire, which I was interpreting as a Mothra & Gotengo team up with a plot reminiscent of G:MoM (all the existing alien races make an army of space monsters, and there's a battle across multiple planets). I kinda dropped it because of reasons, but now that I know there was a '76 one too, with Chamelegon, it kind of throws off the whole chronology of what I outlined.

The thing about the late 70's ideas is that, unlike unmade concepts from other periods, they weren't MAKING Godzilla movies back then. So while "Frankenstein vs. Godzilla" actually got refined and saw the light of day as two fully developed stories, things like hero-Godzilla fighting a super robot made by the government, or Godzilla's body being turned into a spaceship, never happened. Nothing got recycled or re-interpreted. Gigamoth, Ghost Godzilla, and Barbaroi all eventually had spiritual successors, but there is no such successor for, say, kaiju Satan.

The only unmade project I'm fascinated by is Godzilla vs Gargantuas, simply because it was the closest to being made, and it would have been interesting to see what Toho would have done with the budget Henry G. Saperstein would have supplied them with.
