MemberBaragonDec-06-2022 9:35 AMHonestly the title being Godzilla and Kong would be hilarious

MemberAnguirusDec-06-2022 9:45 AMits a problem i have with modern godzilla these days, the franchise appears to getting invaded by other franchises.
in japan, everything that godzilla does has some sort of tie to evangelion or shin japan heros.
in america, whenever you see a monsterverse godzilla product it always has kong slapped on it.
basically, the godzilla franchise has an infestation of other franchises in it.

MemberBaragonDec-06-2022 10:01 AMexactly, nobody cares about tradition anymore, all they care about is destruction and building getting knocked down.

MemberBaragonDec-06-2022 10:25 AMwhat about Hello Kitty, Hamtaro, etc.
Its not a new thing. And it’s not like when I go onto the goji store all I see is SJHU.
Most like Godzilla toys I’ve seen in stores aren’t even related to other IPs
Marketing isnt the end of the world (when it comes to franchises that is)

MemberGiganDec-06-2022 2:07 PMwait the Godzilla franchise has always swallowed up other monster movies into its core canon ever since King Kong vs Godzilla, heck Varan the Magnificent alluded to the events of Gojira (1954)

MemberBaragonDec-06-2022 2:33 PMSanda and Gaira were also originally going to be in Destroy all Monsters
Xenotaris
MemberGiganDec-06-2022 3:03 PMlet see monsters that originally weren't godzilla monsters: Mothra, Rodan, Meganulon, Varan (who was loosely connected to Godzilla), Frankenstein and his spawn Sanda and Gaira, the Matango, Dogora, Manda, Baragon, Gorosaurus, and King Kong

AdminGodzillaDec-06-2022 4:54 PMXenotaris is right. To be fair, Mothra and Rodan were standalone movies of their own before Toho crossed them with Godzilla. Th franchise has always embraced and adopted other, unrelated films to expand. Hell, Invasion of Astro-Monster only exists because of the success of movies like Battle in Outer Space.
