Gamera doesn't destroy, Gamera doesn't live only to kill, and Gamera doesn't EVER lose his bond with humanity. He's not the kind of monster who really fits into a dark and gritty world (Unless it's the Kaneko version); Why would you have a character who defends children and makes them happy in a world of gloom? I'm not asking for a silly film; I simply don't believe it has to be a very edgy film to work. I think you can make a "Friend of All Children of the World" and yet get serious in some visual ascpects.

And Gamera's movies, specially Heisei ones are not so "cute". People die, animals die, blood spills and a lot of other "violent and mature" scenes that don't fit the idea of "a friendly kaiju" film.
