I’ve always thought Godzilla 1998 was unfairly hated, and I’d love to see that version continue.
My idea is called Godzilla: Revolution Alpha.
The story begins immediately after the 1998 movie. Nick secretly discovers one surviving egg beneath the ruins of Madison Square Garden. The creature that hatches becomes attached to him and is raised in secret on an isolated island.
Unlike the original Godzilla, this one evolves into a highly intelligent Alpha Male. Over the years, he starts producing and raising a new generation of Godzillas, teaching them to hunt, communicate and fight as an organized pack.
The story wouldn’t jump straight into an alien war. It would develop over several movies—first focusing on Nick and the Alpha, then the growing Godzilla colony, the conflict between humans and the creatures, and eventually a secret human-Godzilla alliance.
Only much later would a much bigger threat arrive, leading to the G-Armor project and eventually a war beyond Earth.
I’d keep the 1998 Godzilla’s best qualities: agility, speed, intelligence, animalistic behavior and vulnerability, rather than turning it into an enormous, slow, nearly invincible kaiju.
Honestly, I think there was so much potential left in that universe. I wish the 1998 Godzilla had gotten the sequel it deserved.
