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. Yes, I agree. It should take itself seriously and at times have serious subjects.

Yes, I know, but I'm saying I want another Gamera: The Brave; It takes the original work, and makes it better, keeping in what made the original good and improving upon it. I'm not saying I wouldn't like a Gamera: The Brave movie style, but a reboot would be nice, showing the origin. A flashback showing the people of Atlantis creating Gyaos as a weapon, the monster killing them and in a last and desperate effort they could create Gamera to undo the s**t they brought to themselves... that would be AEWSOME! XD

I would spend a day talking about a possible script... but, I want to say that they could reboot the series, showing a more "serious" and "logical" (considering Gamera's universe of course) and guide it to a "GTBlike" film. I really don't like the concept of Gamera simply living to destroy a single race; Also, if Gamera were to be MADE specifically to exterminate the Gyaos, wouldn't he have certain skills specifically to kill them? For instance, why not make him solar powered, and have him shoot a beam of sun light from his mouth, as fire breath is too short, and fire balls can be dodged if quick enough, so why not a beam to drag across the skies? Why not give him some sort of knife-like projectiles to damage the Gyaos' wings and take them to the ground? Or better yet, why not give HIM a sonic beam, so he can cut the Gyaos' wings off? Really, it's hard to believe that the people of Atlantis made Gamera and were smart enough to do so if they didn't SPECIFICALLY make his powers counter the powers of the Gyaos.
