Gamera in the MonsterVerse

Welcome to the forums.

Although I don't know how plausible it is for Gamera to join the Monsterverse, it is something I'd love to see. Though, due to his popularity, (or lack there of) I don't think a solo Gamera movie would be viable.

That doesn't mean he couldn't be introduced in a different type of movie--Say a Kong or Godzilla movie where his origin is revealed, but he's not exactly the focal character/opponent--Ala, Black Panther and Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War.

I'm not sure if Gamera could fit in the Monsterverse.

KAIJU-MAN257 - Welcome to SCIFIED! It is always quite nice to see new faces! With regards to your topic: I believe Gamera, if treated properly, could potentially be incorporated into the Monsterverse. However, as GMAN2887 and DRAGON KING ULTRAZERO80 have pointed out, it might not be a viable option at this point in time. Regardless, I would adore seeing Gamera in the Monsterverse! Once again, welcome to SCIFIED! :)

The issue is what fundamental changes you'd have to change to Gamera. He's a giant turtle that breathes fire. Okay, that's easy enough to swallow in the Monsterverse.

He also flies using jets and can retract all limbs and fly like a flying saucer. Okay...... less easy to swallow.

Because of the kind of background that the Monsterverse has built itself on, it's hard to implement the more outlandish elements. Heck, King Ghidorah will be a hard enough sell as it is.

I resolved this issue in my own creative writing by making the setting outlandish already. The Monsterverse doesn't quite have this luxury. Hell, he'd actually probably fit in more with the Pacific Rim universe than the Monsterverse.

Yeah, I see what you guys mean. He would have to have quite some changes if he were in. I'd still like to see him, but you're right about his lack of popularity here in the states and all that.

I don't think the fact that he flies could be that outlandish as long as the Monsterverse continues to evolve in the direction Skull Island has set for it. If the Marvel Cinematic Universe can go from the grounded Iron Man in 2008 to the insanity of having a talking Racoon years later in Guardians of the Galaxy, then the Monsterverse can thrive off of Gamera as well.

However, I do think Gamera's ancient civilization origins would have to be implemented in order to buy how artificial the idea of a flying turtle is. Gamera: Guardian of the Universe grounded that fairly beautifully.
