IDEA FOR THE SEQUEL

i want new monsters. the old ones are history only Godzilla is eternal in that sense 

Another post talked about bringing back the HB cartoon...Guys, you don't bring back HB Godzilla unless you bring back the Calico! (but not Godzooky)

That said, I don't see much similarity of design between that show and this new movie...really?  Do I look like Carl Majors? Oh...

ok--Aside from the main idea, I thought this up as I wrote it...here goes:

My idea came from the discussion about crossing w/Pacfic Rim.  Relax, this isn't that...but it gave me the idea the next one could be in the near future, one in which there is again an "unbalanced earth" (Edwards gave us this; I’m working within).  A few people (say 10,000 total), with a combination of resources, brains and ruthlessness (and Google), have more or less enslaved mankind into forced labor and are sucking earth dry of everything it has...and they don't much care, because their sights are beyond earth.  Like "Interstellar" only they WANT it that way...they are basically looting earth like futuristic Russian Oligarchs/Internet Crime Lords and planning on hopping to the next habitable planet to live out their lives in depravity and luxury. That bad…

How about a revolt by the remaining 8 billion people? One problem. These rulers have all the military might, now most efficiently possessed in giant sorta Jaeger-like robots, only even more fearsome. The leaders get inpatient to speed things up, and make some of them sentient...and like with the MUTO, the leaders of man have now foolishly unleashed something that will destroy EVERYTHING... 

So, enter Godzilla. Fight, smash, kill, win, right?  We even throw in an older, manual bot that gets resurrected n’ rebuilt, and piloted by some teenager (his uncle rebuilds it in secret) who grew up with tales of Godzilla from his great grandfather (Serizawa?)...and fills that sort of Jet Jaguar role. . .together, they fight and defeat several giant killer robots...we see scenes of people cheering…and then storming the streets…and so they save the day, right? Not so fast...

Were the genocidal robots the usurpers of balance? No...they were the symptom...the cause is, of course...mankind.  

Godzilla's purpose is instinctive...so there is no deep thinking or great spiritual journey with man...it just emerges...and now Godzilla seems to instinctively realize that man is the real threat...he looks at the boy, then slowly turns and starts to make his way to San-San (San Diego to San Francisco megalopolis), presumably to destroy it one block at a time. San-San incidentally is also the seat of the World Government...

The boy is left behind...denying, unwilling to believe...until it is clear GZ isn't headed back out to sea...so he tries to intervene...he "talks" to GZ, which of course is useless, and he gets a nice tail slap for his troubles.  This is when it comes back around full force that Godzilla is not our buddy; not a friend. He's the giant Orkin Man and we are the bugs...

So...there are a few minutes where the boy is left behind again, and recollects...remembers all the horrors he has seen by man...the things the leaders have done...he could go, rescue just his own family and some friends and go live in the Canadian forests...because maybe...Godzilla's purpose can't be stopped, shouldn't be stopped...

But then, he remembers other words from his GGF, words that reassure him of the potential, and even goodness of man...the double edged sword that we are, but that it is not predetermined...and he realizes he must stop the God he grew up worshipping, got to fight alongside, but now judges mankind with doom...

The boy does what he must...he rushes, intercepts and fights the creature he grew up calling a hero just outside the city.  The battle is spectacular and does bleed into the future city with a fair amount of wanton destruction (gotta have it).  What is left of an old, conventional futuristic military takes part as well—for the first time in decades defending its people instead of harming it--but in an interesting juxtaposition, get in the kid's way now just like we do with GZ now...

During the fight however, another truth emerges (ok, haven't thought up exactly how yet)...Godzilla isn't necessarily about destroying humanity...he really is about restoring balance...and the imbalance that now exists isn't just man...it's between man and him (somewhere here we introduce a future environmental reality that Godzilla's deep sea habitat is now radically dwindling due to man--there is nowhere left to just go back and hang out for millennia--this is it)...they cannot both exist. He isn't fighting for earth...he's simply fighting for himself. The irony is that mankind finally has overtaken him...It really is him or us...(this is made clear).  The crowning irony: mankind, on the brink of disaster is the new “Alpha Predator”  and it’s choice to survive and try to make a better world means it must kill the thing that saved it…

With utter anguish, the boy and Godzilla fight a pitched battle, eventually end up falling in the ocean (homage to G vs. KK)...but they continue there---underwater fighting scene!  Godzilla gains the advantage, moving like a giant croc on jets... but this only forces the boy to unleash a great weapon that will destroy everything--something the leaders concocted as a way to kill large amounts of people that were "excess"--basically, a hyper-explosive conventional version of a 10 MT nuke.  He does it.  We see something like an underwater atomic explosion from above...that sends shockwaves as far as Seattle-Vancouver. An EMP washes over San-San and power is off for 10 seconds...then flickers on..(fade)

water... The boy's robot is later found floating on the ocean, nearly shattered...the boy is found in it, alive. 

He rides back, silent. For the first time in his life, is brought to a real hospital (previously unavailable for common people)...there is already a new government forming.  Most of the leaders it seems were either killed by their own robots, or overthrown by the people shortly after the fight. He is quickly informed about many events... He finally asks, "Godzilla?"  He's informed that the only reason he survived is because his robot automatically ballistically launched as he detonated the weapon...he was shot 10 miles and was out of the water during the shockwave... one that nothing could have survived.

There is a new order for man...and hope. We see people emerging from dark hovels into sunlight...lots of activity…life....the camera pans, then looks out toward a great sunset, one that is strangely yet beautifully colored because of the atmosphere of that time...the scene blends to further away oceans...camera finally stops...focuses...music slows and hangs...

Last .5 seconds: spines burst out of the water... The End.

i have 2 ideas :

idea 1 :

the mutos are ressurected by a scientist and used as tools of revenge against mankind and godzilla fights them

idea 2:

godzilla runs out of natural radiation to feed off of and starts attacking nuclear power plants and other nuclear objects

i wanna see an updated megeguirus

I wanna see King Ghidorah, a modernised Gigan and Mothra. Godzilla and Mothra fight together against Gigan and Ghidorah.

I think a mechanized opponent is the way to go.

The powers that be have decided that Godzilla is too dangerous to just leave swimming around so a nuclear powered mechanical adversary was created to deal with him.

Perhaps another flying MUTO can make an appearance and test the ability of the new metal beast. MUTO will be quite similar to the gyaos from the Hensei Gamera series. They are everywhere that it is difficult to completely eradicate them.

I'm just not too sure if the mechagodzilla route is the correct choice.
