Today it was made official that Legendary Pictures was going to reboot the Godzilla series. So I thought I would chime in and list what I want out this reboot.
1. I want Godzilla in the film, not GINO.
The part I hated most about Emmerich’s film was that it was just an animal, not Godzilla. I know when you adapt something you have to make changes, but Emmerich changed the design so much that it didn’t even resemble the character. The film didn’t even feature Godzilla’s trademark radiative breathe.
2.Godzilla is not a pussy.
Another aspect of Emmerich’s film was that Godzilla ran from the military the entire movie. If you watch the Japanese films you see Godzilla just take the hits and keep advancing, but in Emmerich’s film “Godzilla” just runs away. Not only that, but “he” is also killed off by six missiles. In the original Godzilla did die, but only because “his” body was liquefied.
3. Godzilla to go back to “his” origins.
One of the reasons why “Gojira” was so great, was because of what Godzilla represented. In Gojira, Godzilla was an allegory for the atomic bombs and the devastation he caused mirrored the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Emmerich’s Godzilla didn’t represent anything, but Hollywood’s lack of care for fans.
Sure, people could view Godzilla’s origins as “anti-American”, but what Emmerich was to just blame it on the French with his film.
4. I want him to fight a monster.
This one shouldn’t be no surprise, but we already got a solo Godzilla film, so why not try a Monster Vs. Monster film this time? If they did choose to make it that way, then the most likely choice would be King Ghidorah, the 3-headed space dragon.
5. Godzilla’s radiative breathe.
This is important to the character because it shows how he was empowered by the Nuclear weapons. Emmerich decided to just omit that character trait altogether.
That’s all I want from this new Godzilla film that is being made, but in short all I can say do OPPOSITE of what Emmerich did.
FlickSmash! 
I agree 100% with this post.
But I personally think that Godzilla was a great movie. But it wasnt Godzilla at all
If it was the story of a primitive dinosaur it woulda been cool
but they made the mistake of calling it Godzilla
It was fun as a “Monster on the loose” film, but not as a Godzilla film. Emmerich didn’t remake Gojira, he remade The Beast from 20,000 fathoms.
Right, thats exactly my point.
they should have called it “Dinosaur” or some shit
And it would have been great.
I hate it when Hollywood changes shit because they think its cool to adapt things to the limit. I can write a book listing only examples like this, and it pisses fanboys like us off
Im not a Godzilla fanboy, but i feel your pain because ive gone through this sorrow when i saw other movies based on stuff i love
Black Pegasus?
No to mention they ALMOST made the Silver Surfer ride a “snowboard” instead of his surf board in F4
Hmm didnt write “6. Dont forget to include crappy English mouthing of words thats totally off” If you just add then then its Godzilla, hell you dont need Godzilla just that and it would be an epic movie! Oh and not to mendtion if there was going to be a Monster v Monster just throw in King Kong, just say that this is what he did before he went to new york! Excellent Prequel right there for King Kong the movie.
Theres no chance of Kong as a villain. They would have to get the rights from Universal, but odds are they will do a solo Godzilla film.
The lyp-syncing is only a problem in the English dub of the films, which is why I always watch the original Japanese dialogue.
