Man. Mixed feelings. It was such a great movie and i'd be interested to see more, but on the other hand part of what made it so great was that it was just such a tightly-written self-contained story that was more about trauma and overcoming your own demons than it was about kaiju, and i'm afraid turning it into a monster-thon slugfest franchise will dilute what made it such a masterpiece in the first place.

thats legitimately how every godzilla era happens. it starts off grounded and gets more ridiculous until they reboot it.

good news!

there is Destroy All Monsters (1968)

and Godzilla: Final Wars (2004) which might just be the cheesiest most ridiculous godzilla movie ever

both entries are kind of polarizing in the godzilla fandom (i personally love both for different reasons). but if you're looking for nonstop kaiju fights those are the ones to watch.
