New Toho Godzilla Series after Legendary

[Gargantuan Gargantua]

Even without knowing plot details I would be fairly positive another monster will be involved...

That being said this might be one of the few times I would be okay if Godzilla rode solo. I feel Higuchi and Anno could probably get some memorable scary wide shots of Godzilla and we might finally see Godzilla get nuked. (nuking angels was a common thing to do in Evangelion)

This movie is also going to be my first attempt at not viewing trailers/media for the movie. Movies that I have invested interest in might be a little bit more special if I didn't see trailers attached to it. I remember way back in the day I got my bootleg VHS's of G2/G3 back in 1999 and could not find dick on the internet as far as trailers go. So when I finally got around to seeing the movie they became very memorable to me. I think I will do that for this movie. Seriously.

I can see with Anno and Higuchi in this, a strong scifi element and strong human characters.


I could easily see a story about a 26 year old woman and 7 year old son who's grandparents (great grand parents) were from Oto Island and witnessed Godzilla's first attack. This woman is trying her best at being an amateur journalist and is primarily thinking mostly of herself while her son is along for the ride. Her husband left her for being overly selfish and she has moved out onto a smaller island so her aunt can help raise her son as she's working on assembling information on a possible case for a big story about illegal nuclear fuel dumping. Possibly one of China's new nuclear subs washes upon a beach in wreckage. Insert international incident here and the UN gets involved, while now with her attention on this, the main character also finds out via BBs boards that two Russians subs have gone missing in the last year years and a few wrecked boats have been discovered exposed to massive radiation. The thing closely resembling it? The original G54 incident. She comes into contact with a poster on one board and gets correspondence about the subject and decides to meet said hacker who goes by the screen name "M-11". She meets with said hacker and gets information that Godzilla is alive and the governments are well aware of this, but keep mum to avoid public terror. On the way back home, she is pursued by agents of the govt and is rescued by several people who turn out to belong to a cult that worship Godzilla. They kidnap her son and transport them to Otot island where they are based and on one night they come onto the beach to witness the rise of Godzilla-and end up being attacked by a titanic, mutant boar (25 meters long) before Godzilla rears his head (although obscured mostly by fog and rain) and slays said boar easily. The rest of the film involves Godzilla vs the military and Japan's recent new weapons the Iron Beetle amphibious tank and the Super- X Delta prototype vehicle. The main character learns that she has to stop being reckless and actually take responsibility for her son and her actions and it turns out a relative of hers is the scientist that helps build a new Oxygen Destroyer that is deployed on land. It fails in killing Godzilla, but kills a large population of civilians. Godzilla is triumphant and plods away feeding off the Iron Beetle and Super X-Delta's nuclear batteries.

That's something.

It is the single greatest, most profound achievement ever wrought by the hands of mankind. First we invented flight. Then we went to the moon!

And then we created Godzilla vs. Gigan and all was truly right with the world.

Did...did Kain trash Son of Godzilla's characters and writing in favor of Tokyo SOS?

I mean, I LIKE Tokyo SOS but...really?!?

I think the limitations of Godzilla vs. Gigan are part of why I regard it so well. It was handicapped by budget limitations and still managed to make an entertaining film with an incredibly fun cast of characters and story.
