Would you guys accept the "guy in the suit" option for Godzilla?
Make a suit that looks just like the old time Godzilla we all love.
Would that work for you?
I think it would for me.
Um yeah! Godzilla needs to actually look like Godzilla. Crazy talk I know. :lol
In fact if I don't get a recognizable design AND entity that is the Japanese Godzilla... the hell with them!
Godzilla has been updated many times to a fine modern design, totally acceptable in my opinion for any big budget film.
The secret of Godzilla is he is a character, not a "monster".
Godzilla has an intelligence. He is a force of nature, he is a payback from nature, he is even a warrior, he is a mirror for humanity even because we created him. The Japanese breathed a soul into him in the better films.
The whole Japanese love/hate thing for him has to be there in any real Godzilla film.
There are 1000 ways they can screw this up just as bad as the last time.
That wasn't Godzilla that is for sure. Totally unrecognizable.
Again, someone needs to sit down, watch the Godzilla films, process the character, and get it right this time.
What are the odds of that happening these days?
