Call me crazy, but after re-watching Godzilla: The Series I began to wonder what if GINO movies were still made today? I am fully aware of the enormous hate this iguana has towards it. Yet I believe Devlin and Emmerich's film was a necessity in the world of Godzilla. Godzilla almost drifted afar as he grew older and I don't even think Toho knew where it was going as a whole, so TriStar's "disaster" film was the perfect example of a NO-GO.
So what if GINO was around today? What if GINO really became the name of this lizard? In the film (as memory serves), they dub the monster "Godzilla" because of the Japanese fisherman uttering "Gojira" under shock. What if they made a sequel to this film, and in the sequel they discover the skeleton of the original Godzilla. Thus the obvious becoming apparent that the monster iguana wasn't actually Godzilla. Yet since everyone recognized him as Godzilla, they would make official his new name: GODZILLA IN NAME ONLY (GINO). With that said, what if a plethora of GINO films were released and the cartoon was never made into a cartoon, but as films instead? Do you think GINO could have grown into a loveable character if he were around still?
