Freeze Him in an Antartica Avalanche (Forever)
Should they cocoon him and bury him?
Shoot him out into space, (like they did to Gamera) and let him float forever or get marooned on a new uninhabited world.

The King of the Monsters
MemberMothra LarvaeSep-30-2014 2:33 PMMonarch most likely won't end Godzilla's reign because he is going to be the protagonist monster in the series. Godzilla is symbolic of nature's power and cannot be halted by human interference. Doing so would completely ruin the premise of Edwards' characterization of Godzilla. Monarch will be focusing their efforts on studying Godzilla and combating monsters that are of a greater threat, like King Ghidorah.

MemberMothra LarvaeSep-30-2014 2:38 PMToho and Legendary have it written in a contract that Godzilla can't die in any of their movies? I would like to see this.

The King of the Monsters
MemberMothra LarvaeSep-30-2014 2:43 PMToho puts this in all of their contracts. They even put it in the contract for the 1998 film, but TriStar danced around it by leaving one baby Zilla alive at the end. Toho's other requirements are usually that Godzilla must be connected with nuclear testing and that he and King Ghidorah must be enemies.

MemberGiganSep-30-2014 3:01 PM^ I knew the first two, but I don't remember reading that him and King Ghidorah must me enemies. It makes sense though.

The King of the Monsters
MemberMothra LarvaeSep-30-2014 3:04 PMThe King Ghidorah one seems to be a newer requirement. The first time I'd heard of it was in a statement from Matt Frank or someone else working on the IDW comics, I believe. IDW was told that Godzilla and King Ghidorah must always be enemies in their comics. I can only expect that Toho will give those same requirements to Legendary for future films.

MemberMothra LarvaeSep-30-2014 3:05 PMGodzilla beeing a force of nature whas another fake advertising move, he is clearly only an animaland quoting Isayhama about the possesed godzilla in gmk ''He is still an animal and can still be deafeted, but not with any weapon''

MemberMothra LarvaeSep-30-2014 3:20 PM@JRR Actually, it's all over in the movie. Godzilla surviving countless attempts to kill him with nuclear bombs, his arrival in the form of a tsunami, the military having no way to hurt him or stop him, and the big one: The Mutos represent a disturbance, something that shouldn't be here that humanity brought to the surface, and by our arrogant use of nuclear energy AND containment of both MUTOs, Godzilla corrects this disturbance. Thus he upholds the true order of nature and keeps the world safe from parasitic organisms that would have overpopulated the Earth, used up all nuclear energy, and possibly created large caverns in the Earth that would inevitably collapse. He is the epitome of natures law. The protector of it.

MemberMothra LarvaeSep-30-2014 3:21 PMI would argue that Godzilla is more of a force of nature in this film than he is in any other film previous.

The King of the Monsters
MemberMothra LarvaeSep-30-2014 3:54 PMI don't know where this sudden fixation on Godzilla either dying or being stopped at the end of the third movie came from. Godzilla has been established as the "good guy" for Legendary's universe. He will be the protagonist monster, meaning the monster who is for better or worse on the side of good who wins in the end. Humanity suddenly turning against Godzilla and defeating him in the third movie makes no sense. Godzilla can be opposed to humanity at some points in the upcoming movies, possibly provoking the creation of a MechaGodzilla, but he will not be the antagonist monster. If Toho goes back on their word and lets Legendary kill Godzilla in the third movie, it will in all likelihood be an act of sacrifice on Godzilla's part to defeat the enemy monster or simply the result of fatal wounds sustained in a battle. Gareth just has too much of a reverence for the character of Godzilla to have him be ingloriously defeated in the third film.

MemberMothra LarvaeSep-30-2014 4:05 PMNah, they won't kill Godzilla, or stop him. It'll be an open ending for potentially more sequels, or another reboot after that.
As for the contract, all that is correct, from what I understand, and other details in it say that Godzilla must have 3 rows of dorsal plates down his back.

The King of the Monsters
MemberMothra LarvaeSep-30-2014 4:40 PMYeah there's a few other weird things in the contract like the dorsal spines thing and that he must not eat humans and stuff. Toho made the mistake of telling TriStar that Godzilla had to be fast and agile as well, which led to Zilla. I think Toho chooses to leave that requirement out now.

TW_G-Fan2014
MemberMothra LarvaeOct-03-2014 6:20 PMI honestly don't think they should end Godzilla's reign in the final film.
If they want this to become something truly great, they're going to have to go beyond a trilgoy as the trilogy is an overused and, speaking quite bluntly, lame concept today. Everything has to be a trilogy, like it's some kind of necessary movie making fad. I'm seriously hoping that Legendary is just being cautious and going with a trilogy for the sake of testing the fan reaction and if it goes well through the next two movies I'm hoping they continue and go beyond it to make 5-6 movies or more.
What's the point of a Godzilla "franchise" if they stop at three movies?

MemberMothra LarvaeOct-03-2014 6:40 PM^ how i see it is if they make it three movies and wait a few years and start fresh with a reboot that has new ideas, concepts, and directions people wouldnt get get as bored with godzilla so easily.
