RodanMember1630 XPDec-17-2019 10:36 AMAh, so my stupidity has served a purpose! Thank you!
If people weren't lazy, we wouldn't try to be efficient. If we weren't efficient, we'd never get anything done.
RodanMember1789 XPDec-17-2019 10:42 AMOutstanding move.
Zwei Wing is the best singing duo. Change my mind.
AnguirusMember1188 XPDec-17-2019 10:44 AMTeam GodzillaI've only seen the beginning ten min. of War of The Gargantuas.
TitanosaurusMember616 XPDec-17-2019 11:03 AMGodzilla: Making cinematic universes and continuity reboots before Marvel and DC made it cool.
A true fan can acknowledge the bad while still appreciating and cherishing the good.
AnguirusMember1188 XPDec-17-2019 11:10 AMTeam GodzillaThe GCU
GiganAdmin4236 XPDec-17-2019 11:10 AMTeam Ghidorah^Not wrong.
RodanMember1630 XPDec-17-2019 11:11 AM... I'm going to use that today.

GiganAdmin4236 XPDec-17-2019 9:28 PMTeam Ghidorahdk,
Such a debate has never been an issue because they're all canon to their specific continuities--There is no singular canon.
Example: Godzilla vs. Biollante is canon to the Heisei Continuity, but not any other. Simple as that.
Mothra LarvaeMember27 XPDec-18-2019 3:04 AMHEISEI CONTINUITY
Godzilla '54
Godzilla vs. Biollante
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
Godzilla vs. Mothra
Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla II
Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla
Godzilla vs. Destoroyah
umm shouldnt Godzilla 84 be in there i mean Biolante was a direct continuation from 84
AnguirusMember1188 XPDec-18-2019 7:35 AMTeam GodzillaThe MCU and DCEU are nothing compared to the "GCU".
GiganAdmin4236 XPDec-18-2019 12:09 PMTeam GhidorahXarKhaan,
Good catch. Didn't realize I had missed that one. Corrected.
BaragonMember111 XPDec-18-2019 2:42 PMSome people believe Godzilla 54 is part of the Megaguirus continuity.
BaragonMember478 XPDec-18-2019 11:22 PMI like the approach of just having there be different timelines rather than bringing canon into it. Especially for a series as big as godzilla.
GiganAdmin4236 XPDec-19-2019 1:01 AMTeam GhidorahThe true shark boy,
The movie shows and explains explicitly different events that took place in 1954. Godzilla looked like the MireGoji in 1954 and was not killed by the Oxygen Destroyer.
RodanMember1789 XPDec-19-2019 10:55 AMI just told my entire english class about the symbolism of Godzilla 1954, and the effects of nuclear power.
Zwei Wing is the best singing duo. Change my mind.
AnguirusMember1188 XPDec-20-2019 9:46 AMTeam Godzilla@Gmkgoji,
That's cool! What did they think about it?
GiganAdmin4236 XPNov-25-2020 9:28 PMTeam GhidorahThe debate rages on over the Megagurius continuity. Some Toho sources include G'54--If only as an alternate version of the events.
GiganAdmin4236 XPMay-20-2021 8:08 PMTeam GhidorahAdded Singular Point to the list. As well as the Hanna-Barbera continuity and The Mysterians to the Heisei continuity.
