I don't think it's such a bad thing. Godzilla needs a bit of revamping to bring him back into the mainstream. Sure, his roar and appearance are immediately recognizable, but what do most people think of when they see or hear them - a crappy scifi flick... or a guy in a rubber suit as the media likes to play it (most people I meet think of the former). Most people haven't even seen the original. A remake or reinvention of Godzilla's beginnings with more than, or even without, a suit would help to strengthen the legacy.

By the way, I realize a lot of people would probably like to kill me now for even thinking of losing the suit, but I stand by it. Even though GMK had a great mix of CG and suit Godzilla, so much more can be accomplished with computers nowadays.

Long story short, I would love a remake that would keep Godzilla's likeness and spirit from the original. And a touch more evil like in GMK

Why not just, I dunno, show them the original? Makes sense to me, and I've won many people over that way. Hell, I've won many people over just by telling them about it.

I wouldn't boycott a remake, and I'm sure I could enjoy on some level if it were done right, but I really don't see the point. At all.

The point? Cause they can! They already showed the original. Still pisses me off that it wasn't anywhere near me. Wanted to see that in the theaters. Seriously, though, people are coming off as seemingly heated on this issue. I mean, we aren't saying that we should remake the original because it was crap or something. Just to experience it again in another form. I mean, the new King Kong was an amazing film, but the original can't be beat in its own way.

But yeesh, if this is gonna get complicated, let me know so I can back the hell off.

I'm not getting heated up over it, I'd just prefer something new.

I'd love to see perhaps a film that is about massive earthquakes pushing up an island that releases perhaps a former earth guardian kaiju and a cosmosiann(whatever you call their extinct civ.) joining to launch attack on the world and Godzilla shows up and adult Mothra joins in to.
