Is Godzilla 2016 going to be like Godzilla 2014\'s Original Concept?

^Or nuking him in the 50s.

Fact is there's a lot more evidence pointing to him not wanting to fight the military than anything saying he would. There's actually no evidence of no matter how hard he was hit that he ever retaliated, so I'm not sure how one would know he would fight them, or destroy a city if needed. Pretty much everything points to this Godzilla being an ally of humanity exclusively. Hell ships travelled right beside him on his way to San Fancisco.

Gorilla,The fact, or idea rather, that Godzilla killed in 2014 really isn't the point. The filmmakers do everything under the sun to not draw attention to that so he can be viewed as a hero. He's a protagonist that the film follows through with. We don't actually see Godzilla make any malicious act on purpose and that's the real point. He has no connection to other angry variations, like in Godzilla 2000.

G14 is not an enemy of humanity, but G14 at-least I think planted a seed that he isn't doing anything to save humanity, and he will fight them if need be. But there was no need in this film, we're basing all of this on one film need I not remind you guys.

And in that one film he plays almost completely a hero role with little variation. In the one film he was attacked multiple times by humans, and they are the reasons the MUTOs, his enemies, resurfaced and provided them with the food source necessary for them to potentially take over, outside of the single human saving him which happened after everything else the humans had done to screw him over, and he had no foresight to know this was going to happen at those points.

Seems like he had every reason in the world to turn and attack them at some point, but never did meaning he filled a heroic role. Superman can turn around and destory humanity, but if he never does it he's a hero. Same logic applies here.

Once agin, you're basing him as a hero because a single film didn't show him kill anyone, you are literally trying to confirm that as fact- when it's not fully proven yet. I still am shocked to this day, at the horibble back-lash fans have given this film, to be honest I'm surprised anyone is happy at there being a Godzilla 2, since this film seems to just be beyond hated.

GorillaGodzilla,

The film is only hated because the way it was teased and how sloppy the design of Godzilla was. It's not the greatest but it's a fair design. Better than a few other designs at that. Is it hated more than G98? I really doubt that. 

Those are the main reasons why people hate the film than besides Bryan Cranstons character being killed too early. The thing is, so many out here like me, were expecting a very serious scary Godzilla film like that of 54'. The company legendary did the bait and switch project. They teased it like Godzilla was going to be a merciless killer who would destroy everything in his path yet, he only caused minimal damage to the city. If he isn't called a hero for killing the Mutos and leaving the area while the civilians cheer him on then how is Godzilla a hero classified in your eyes? 

He wasn't a hero but he wasn't a villian, that's my point.

"He wasn't a hero and he wasn't a villain, that's my point."

Okay, I'm lost on that. What's your point? 

He was not a full on hero, under any circumstances. Yet at the same time, he was not a full on villians, under any circumstances. He was the definiton, of an anti-hero.

"He was the definiton, of an anti-hero."

Then the definition of anti-hero must've been re-written recently. I don't recall any that get such an appraised ending with purposfully shot sequences that try avoid any emphasis on the harm he's causing. But yeah. Sure. Anti-hero definition.

I agree that he is an anti-hero, but he's a very, very loose one.

You know, when truly everything I say is used against me as if this is court, I surrender. It's truly un-fair, not only am I being teamed up on by 3 people and I have no-one on my side, but everything I say is being used against me as if it's fact.

GorillaGodzilla,

Myself, Gman2887, and Durp004 are just trying to tell you that you're wrong. There's no need to get sentimental over everything.

My feeling about Toho Tokusatsu Godzilla 2016 is that it will be evokative of the atmosphere in the Godzilla 2014 trailers. I really don't see Godzilla being any sort of anti-hero in the films die to the statements of the directors indicating a terrifying nightmare is in store for audience. I cannot imagine a lunchbox/he's our hero Godzilla emerging from the story or the way I anticipate the film being made. The Legendary Godzilla had to be a character people could cheer for. It would seem that a decision to portray him that way was made early on. I think it's a box office thing. And, for the most part, it worked. Enough money was made to make a franchise viable.

I believe Anno and Higuchi want to make their Godzilla thoroughly Japanese and distinct from the Legendary American version. So, there will be a connection to the atomic origins of this monster and all that he symbolizes. I seriously doubt if there will be any whitewashing of the role of nations in nuclear weapons testing in the Pacific. Personally, I would like to see a bold and direct reference made to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a even a brief, but moving visual.

And the atomic bomb reference is never dated. Especially in Japan.

Half of both of our statements are right, none of us are entirely right.

I like Godzilla when he's the destroyer.
