I agree with you guys - having Godzilla be a hero is needed...at least once more. However, I don't think the world is ready and willing to see it, no matter how much CG we'll see.

If anything, the next Godzilla movie might probably pay homage to Gojira, and add in those horror/disaster/man vs creature elements that Hollywood tried to incorporate in to its' Godzilla and missed(completely): in essence, Godzilla the bad guy again, only this time, there's a good explanation for its' invincibility, a better idea behind its' rampage, and more solid CG, special effects, and scenes of ominous doom. It'll be something credible and interesting enough to drive audiences back to movie theaters again.

For those who've read my stuff, well I guess I can live with dropping all referenecs to the Heisei series as a whole but still I gues I would want a new Godzilla series with Godzilla as a bad guy, more of the world getting involved, etc even though it will be a bloody long shot.

Godzilla's an ANTI-hero...unlike Gamera, who's a hero, Godzilla saves the day by basically beating up whatever monster lands on his turf. Not ONCE after the Showa era did he do any "saving" because he wanted to. He did it because it was part of the action.

The Millenium films showed this fact. He took out Orga because it was a threat to him, same with Megaguirus and the horde, Same with Kiryu. In the Heisei films, Godzilla was definitely the bad guy....except for GvsKG'91 - King Ghidorah turned out to be the villain, yet in the end, Godzilla only took him out because of self-interest. Did he care about the human race? nope. Just his pride and territory.

That's what big G's done and that's how he'll be portrayed.

GFW was the antithisis of him being the anti-hero...in the beginning he was a villian that was buried in ice, then, when the world goes to hell in a hand basket, we go wake his ass up and let him do his thing.

The one thing he never has been, and that is a villian....

Think about it, in G 54, he was a scourge to Japan as a result of nuclear testing...without our intervention, he never would have existed. Like it was said in G 85, he is a tragic creature.

Most times, he was the anti hero looking to protect his turf as was stated before.

Finally, in a couple movies he was somthing of a guardian to people, or at least not totally uncaring to the humans...I think Gigan to TOMG where they were actually glad to see him, and even Smog Monster, he worked a bit with the humans to gain victory.

Then it was back to kickin ass for kickin ass' sake.

I think the analogy of him being a force of nature is a good one to go by.

We know he's out there, more powerful than we can contain. Any number of circumstances can bring about an appearance, our meddling, another monster....you get the picture. We are well aware of the destruction that will occur when he does visit, but in the end, he will return to the sea for a hopefully long nap. A hurricane is agreat analogy, you see it comming, nothing you can really do...you don't like them but you learn to live with it and rebuild, and do your best to just stay out of harms way.

Godzilla himself, is the atomic bomb....the most powerful weapon on the planet of which it's power is hopefully never realized, and in the case of attack, he is the planet's, not our, last defence.
