... No. It wouldn't have. The thing is, the Japanese, as well as most of the world, have become tired of giant monsters. Sure, King Kong did all right, and Cloverfield was a success, but neither did well in Japan at all. G2K flopped, GxM failed miserably, GMK was the only one that did good, and that's because of the inclusion of Mothra, King Ghidorah, and Baragon (who is somewhat popular in Japan), GxMG didn't do all that well, and, by TSOS, people realized they were seeing the exact same thing they'd seen on Saturday morning during the '60s and onward. Not to mention GFW didn't even make back its production cost. |

Then how do you explain the freak success of D-WAR in Japan? After all of the unsuccessful Goji, Gamera, and Guilala films? |

Well, they are eating it up over there. Hell, look at how much crap they have released! Theater exclusive tanks, two varriations of the program, chrashi, poster, and comming up: 2 disc and one disc DVD and blu-ray. Maybe there is going to be an exclusive w/ dragon and Buraki figures included. Alot more stuff than what we Americans are getting, considering it did better here. |

Many many toons on Cartoon Network rip him off. The Brak Show, Time Squad, Power Puff Girls, Dexter's Labratory, Courage The Cowardly Dog. All of them rip off Goji, usualy visualy. But sometimes there is a giant mosquito with Goji's roar. Don't forget Colbert Report and Daily Show. But D-WAR is brining change... |

Very true. Well...Godzilla has a definite popularity over here. I remember the year GFW came out...it was on CNN Headline News...that is pretty fricking awesome. |

Godzilla might be iconic, but nobody really cares about him anymore. At least, not very many people. D-WAR has been in theatres (and this is a somewhat-quote of what KPA said), and has made only $900,000. It doesn't matter if they've got all this merchandise, because G98 has loads and loads of merchanidising... nobody bought it. Giant monsters just aren't the big money-makers they used to be. The soonest we will see another daikaiju eiga will be in 2014, on Godzilla's 60th anniversary, if that. Mothra 50th anniv. film is unlikely, seeing as the ROM trilogy didn't do so well. Gamera the Brave failed, too. The Host made less than $2 million, and King Kong made only $17 million. Peter freaking Jackson's King Kong. The best thing for Toho to do right now, it to do what they did back in the '70s and '80s- wait until the next big anniversary. |

Yeah, I know, I'm just trying to make sure nobody's incredibly let down when they don't make a movie we were hoping for. |
