The King of the Monsters wrote: Adding in the Guardian Monsters to the plot of the original film isn't "changing one detail," it's completely altering the plot of the film and defeating the purpose of GMK. It directly contradicts the events of the original film. Toho wanted the Guardian Monsters to be a part of GMK, and had no reason to want them to have appeared in 1954. But what I'm getting at is, the Guardian Monsters were like a thousand years old, and Godzilla attacked Japan in 1954. (May I remind you, the Guardian Monsters are suppose to defend Japan.) I'm not asking to "defeat the purpose" of anything, I'm just saying it would've made sense if they appeared in 1954 and defended Tokyo from Godzilla's wrath, considering how old they are. Even if they weren't at their strongest at that point, they wouldn't even need to kill Goji, just keep him from contaminating Japan, and hopefully drive him away.
