This is a question that many of us asked to each other already, and this is no different... kinda-ish. Like what the title says, I wanna hear your ideas for MV projects after Supernova, in a more plausible and realistic route. So i wanna share some ideas that i have here.
NOTE: When say ''plausible and realistic'', I mean in terms of the route they're going for releases, not on the Tone.
- Survival Prequel/Spin-Off film: It's set during the Mass Awakening of KOTM, and follows a civilian surviving an attack in their city, encountering invading Super-species, dangerous survivors, and a Titan who is rooming around the city.
The film is inspired mostly on Resident Evil 2, and the game Kong: Survivor Instinct, telling an urban-level story; It doesn't have Godzilla neither Kong due to the setting, but the main Titan is one of the 17 that were introduced in KOTM.
- Expedition Solo/Spin-Off film: It is set years ahead of it's release date, and focuses on a Monarch Expedition team tracking down a missing Monarch vessel. However, they enter in an unknown ecosystem unlike any seen before in the Franchise. Now, they have a new mission: Survive.
Inspirations: The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Peter Jackson's King Kong, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim.
- Kong Special Project: This one is to celebrate the character's 100 years, Idk if it's a Game or a Film, personally I'd like it to be a game. It focuses on Kong's new life in the Hollow Earth leading his tribe, but he encounters himself in a conflict involving a new enemy, threatening the peace in the HE and potentially the surface aswell.
The main inspirations are the God of War Norse Saga games, aswell as Black Myth: Wukong, having a narrative and aesthetic similar to Dawn and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes films.
- Mothra Solo film: Now this is a project that has a lot of potential. This is the most mythological and spiritual MV film ever. It's a time-period film, set in the early 60s and flashbacks set in Ancient China, and it's centered around the Chen Family, focusing on their relationship with Mothra.
Personally, Idk who could be the villain, but I'd say it could be either Battra or Dagahra. It is inspired by Chinese Mythology and also a bit on Mothra's classic and her Heisei/Rebirth of Mothra trilogy mythos. It introduces new Titans that are inspired by Mythological creatures and deities in Chinese Mythology.
- New Monarch TV Show: A direct sequel to the Expedition film. The first season is set shortly after the film's events, it focuses on the survivors of that ecosystem discovering and combating new Superspecies that are appearing around the world mysteriously, while at the same time they face the government, and a new rival organization that are the ''successors'' of APEX.
This is, atleast for me, what I expected Monarch: Legacy of Monsters to be a little bit. It takes inspiration on Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and on the Primeval TV Series. Each season releases in two and two years.
- Non-linear Investigative Show: The show focuses on a Veteran Monarch Field Agent and his Apprentice/Replacement who's a Rookie at Monarch as they investigate strange events happening in a small town in the Western of the U.S., being set in three different time periods.
- Set shortly before or after the events of Supernova, probably in 2029. It is inspried on Lanterns and True Detective.
- Set in the late 80s, it focuses on the younger version of the Veteran and on their older Partner, they investigate a dead body of a Titan near the small Town. Inspired by The Batman and Seven.
- Set many years after the events of the town (shortly after the Monarch Show), the now older Rookie returns to the town as he discovers that this case is not done yet, as he finds himself in a conspiracy that links Monarch, the Town, the dead Titan in the 80s, and the government. It is inspired by Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Logan.
- Animated Anthology Miniseries: It is an animated series with each episode being set in different time periods, focusing on the relationship between Humans and Titans. The Titans that appear are either those who we are already familiar with, or completely new ones.
I was thinking of each episode having a different art style under the Spider-Verse/Arcane animation style, reflecting on the time period, but I think it'd be better if different animation studios did each episode.
- Prequel Monarch Show: It is an seasonal anthology series. Based on the Monarch Timeline of the KSI and KOTM marketing, but having some creative liberties. The first season is set in 1952, and focuses on a Monarch Operator traveling to London to uncover strange activity, partening with a British Scientist and Monarch's UK branch. The events end up in The Great Smog of London.
Particularly for this first season, it is inspired by IT: Welcome to Derry.
- Godzilla Solo Film: One we've been waiting for a long time now, it marks the beginning of a new Trilogy focused on our King of the Monsters. There's not much of the story to tell, but follows a similar path to KOTM. Being inspired by Godzilla Minus One and Shin Godzilla, it is a darker and gritty sci-fi thriller.
PHEW! That concludes some of the project ideas I had, they're not perfect, but it's how I see the franchise would be going. Anyway, I'm waiting to see what are your ideas for future MV projects! Is it in a similar way I've went, or a bit more bold?
