Mecha Godzilla city was very lame honestly, and they didn’t rebuild mecha Godzilla because they wanted to be “different” for no reason.

They said that they would use all those monsters, but they were just dumped into the prequels. Again, wasted potential. If they had made those novels into an anime, then that would’ve been a good movie.

This is anime, it shouldn’t be grounded in reality. And being different for the hell of being different doesn’t make a good film, and that’s why this trilogy was such a failure. Just because the planet follows a more extreme route of evolution doesn't mean changing the monster's origins was done for no reason.

Likewise, so what if Mechagodzilla City's lame to you. All I care about is a rational explanation as to the change, in-universe. And it makes sense that Mechagodzilla became what it did.

Third, it's not wasted potential if the potential was utilized in a form of media. Wasted potential is mostly defined by something not happening. But, this not only happened, but had two novels dedicated to it. That's just potential you like, being put into a medium you seemingly don't like or prefer. Not wasted.

Fourth, if we're gonna start the "the anime doesn't need to be grounded" argument, literally zip back six steps to why I'm arguing a self-proclaimed grounded universe should be, and the argument we had on that. How can you argue one thing, but then just dismiss or not acknowledge it when it's used on something you like. What was the reason for changing the origins anyways if it doesn’t effect the movie?

Making sense is not what makes a movie good. Mecha Godzilla city was still a massive disappointment, because they went through all the trouble to say that Mecha Godzilla was going to appear in the film, design a new mecha Godzilla (which didn’t even resemble Mecha Godzilla), only to scrap it have have Godzilla destroy a city for the millionth time.

If you are going to say that you are going to use all of Toho’s monsters just to hype up your movie, and then just throw them all into some novels, that is wasted potential. If you say you are going to use a monster for your film, actually use them.

Also, what? Your nitpick about King of the Monsters not being grounded in reality at least somewhat made sense. Anime shouldn’t be grounded in reality because it doesn’t have all the limitations that live action movies have. They had the opportunity to make a good trilogy of movies, and use all of the monsters they said they were going to use. But instead, we just got wasted potential. What a failure.
