I prefer an anti-hero take like in the Heisei Godzilla films or even G2000 and Final Wars. The people NEED to connect with Godzilla and sympatize with him. If his is a flat out villain, it will confuse the audience. I DON'T want the other monster to be good or Godzilla to lose in any way. I HATE it when he loses. He can still be that force of nature type of threat, but still be an anti-hero. I have hopes Gareth Edwards will do this after I watched Monsters for the first time. The monsters were treated exactly like I hope Godzilla is treated. Threating and dangerous sure, but not evil. He is just a creature trying to live like everything else. The other monsters NEED to be much more dangerous to the point everyone leans toward Godzilla to win the fight like G2000 and vs. Destoryah. Plus, I do not want Godzilla to die. I don't think he should be an anti hero, he should be a giant primal animal because, he is what he is. When I mean anti-hero, I was mosting meaning in terms of role rather than personality. Godzilla can still be a very dangerous monster, but is not the the antaganist. The other monster should be the evil one with Godzilla being the "lesser" of two threats. Your statement made me think a bit though on how he is potrayed. Godzilla's role could be similar to the T-Rex in the 1st JP. In terms of character and role, not design. The T-Rex was a dangerous primal animal, but was NOT the main antaganist which was really the Raptors. But it doesn't change the fact that both are the main stars of their respective films. Godzilla is an primal animal sure, but he should be capable of certain emotions like anger or sadness. Much like he was in the Heisei series. Still, like you said "he is what he is." Either way, I DON'T want the film to potray him as an evil monster like in GMK and Tokyo SOS. Nothing against those movies, but the film needs the audience to feel sympatize with Godzilla. I want him to win the fight against the other monster(s) and I hope the film makes the human lead accept him for being what he is, a force of nature. I hope I cleared thing up a bit. Sorry.
