No attempt at "mainstreaming" Godzilla is going to produce a film which the American public eats up at the box office. CGI? A generic Hollywood blockbuster story? Michael Bay helming it? A cast that includes Johnny Depp and Will Smith? Portraying Godzilla as an unspeakable terror that strikes fear into the hearts of children? Nope. Nothing, absolutely nothing, is going to make Godzilla suddenly become popular with the mainstream public. Why not? Because it's Godzilla. End of story.

For the meantime, Godzilla just needs to lay low. I just hope that when Godzilla returns that TOHO gives some serious thought to it.

What a dumbass statement by me. Mac called that one again:
Return to Shin Godzilla and Beyond!
