i kind of think that Godzilla wouldn't have "died" but without Legendary, Toho wouldn't have made another film for years and years and years and years...and they still likely won't. I imagine the only way we see a Toho Godzilla movie in the next 15 years is if Legendary's films are successful, and Toho decides to want to try to piggyback off of that. Even then, it seems unlikely to me; why go through the hassle of making a movie when an American studio can do it for you and you still make money?
But, I imagine that 20, maybe 25 years....maybe 35 years from GFW, Toho would have ultimately dusted the character off for another go-round. Godzilla's a timeless, non-actor-specific enough of a character that he'll never DIE completely.
