But... why? Why make the exact same movie FOUR times? (Because GODZILLA 1998 is the same premise as 1954 and 1984, just horribly butchered.) What will be the draw in that? If it's going to just be Godzilla alone, that has already been done and everyone will say "this has already been done" and no one will go see it... they MIGHT see it just because it's the "Japanese Godzilla" and no other reason. It'll be pointless and a major step down from Legendary's Godzilla which had 3 monsters and will not be on-par with Godzilla 2 which will have >=4 monsters. And again, it'll be the same movie.

Really, GodzillaIsland7.2 does make sense a bit. The only way this will work is if Japan has forgotten the horrors of nuclear weapons, but they haven't! Fukushima? Fukushima?? Fukushima has happened very recently, so it's still in Japan's mind. And it's not like we're in the middle of a cold war or anything. Maybe if they made Godzilla North Korean, but Toho isn't that stupid.
