I think you're asking for and expecting far too much GojiraKight. There's a very good chance that you'll be disappointed if you cling steadfast to these expectations.

It's be nice if this film used the original film as a jumping off point but they really don't have to. As long as they treat the character with respect I really don't care if this movie has nothing to do with any of the Toho films. This movie does not have to specifically have anything to do with the original film. His basic origins can be the same but expecting them to adhere to the actual events of the '54 original may very well be expecting too much.

Whether you like it or not this is going to be a new Godzilla for a new generation. It's going to be LP's take on Godzilla. It's their movie. I don't think the mainstream audience is going to go into this thing expecting it to play off of a 60 year old movie they may not have even seen.

Well, we'll just agree to disagree on the G'54 stuff. I feel LP is going to be hyper-sensitive about keeping fans satisfied that this is the Godzilla. And what better way to do it than to make it literally the original Godzilla? Only this time he's attacking an American city in an American film.

And I disagree that having this film at least reference G'54 sucks any originality out of it. If that were the case, then BB would've sucked the originality out of the Batman story. After all, his parents died in both, right?

You can have an original take and tell an original story but there still needs to be a consistent starting off point. If this is only going to be a giant reptile who shoots a nuclear beam from his mouth than why even call it Godzilla? To sell tickets? Isn't that what went wrong with GINO?

So no, I will not be disappointed if this is not a sequel-of-sorts to G'54. But I do think it makes sense and is more probable than you guys think.

But back to the music...

Again, without the Ifukube music (or at least the theme) why even call this Godzilla? You might as well take his roar away while you're at it.

Whether this is a sequel or a relaunch is irrelevant, I feel. After all, Casino Royale was a relaunch. Do you think the filmmakers even ever considered dropping the Bond theme? Of course not, because it's part of the character. Same with Godzilla.

This isn't about my Godzilla but the Godzilla. And historically the Godzilla has started in G'54 and included Ifukube's music. Otherwise it's just a giant lizard attacking the city, which is exactly what GINO was and what we don't want this movie to be.
