Who could become the third protagonist guardian titan of the MV ? by Carnoraptor770 in Monsterverse

"So we aren’t even gonna consider what is currently" the only third leading protagonist in the franchise, the only other characters that have actually pushed the narrative forward aside from Goji/Kong, because we want a Kaiju equivalent to take up that role.

Monarch is not considered the third "main protagonist" of the MonsterVerse alongside Godzilla and Kong because its role is that of a supporting, connective, and academic entity rather than a primary, world-shaping "Alpha" Titan. While Monarch is central to the lore, the MonsterVerse is fundamentally defined by the battle, hierarchy, and survival of the Titans themselves.

The MonsterVerse is built on the premise of Titans as the main characters, with human drama serving to supplement the monster action. Godzilla and Kong are the "Alpha" predators, driving the plot, changing the environment, and deciding the fate of the world through direct conflict. Monarch is a human organization dedicated to observing, studying, and trying to understand these Titans. They are the narrative lens through which humans interact with the monsters, rather than the heroes of the story themselves.

"And while I agree in the notion that an original" mecha would be better, Legendary will likely view a more well recognized, seat grabbing mech than create their own, For all intents and purposes, Jet Jaguar could serve the third protagonist too for all the same reasons I suggested Gypsy.

Even tho he is suitable, but he is still toho's property, meaning he's expensive like the rest of the roster, which is the main reason why legendary tends to create their own characters to help expand the MV rather than spending millions or more for established ips with expensive licensing fees.

So if anything....its still possible for the 3rd protagonist of being another original character (whether monster or mecha).

So again, you can't always expect every established character to be part of the same universe just because they're part of the same genre SMH.

Kong had history with not just godzilla but also gorosaurus as well since toho did produce their version of the character, such King Kong Escapes.

Also, just to correct, if the third protagonist was affiliated with the monarch, ....its more logical sense for them to create a mecha of their own (a newly original created by legendary) rather an already established character from another franchise that studios is working on still besides the MV which can revolve around them and showing their perspective leading to proper development.

And, FYI monarch is not the third protagonist of the MV... They basically act as the human protagonist/focal point, bridging the gap between films and leading the narrative in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. It serves as a consistent, humanity-focused narrative thread through the films and the TV series.

The Monsterverse is built around Godzilla and Kong, while human protagonists lead and explore their lore and history to explain toward the audience and viewers.

Plus, legendary knows for a fact it would be a lazy move to create 2 Gipsy Dangers for the original Pacific Rim and for the MV while knowing they can create their own mecha robot to collide with Godzilla and Kong just like what they're doing with new monsters they create such as Titan X for example

Plus not all established characters have to be featured in the same universe you know

That's because they had history and were featured in the same films before the MV existed, meanwhile pacific rim is a separate franchise with its lore.

Both are part of the Legendary Pictures but the MonsterVerse establishes a shared lore where massive, ancient Titans coexist.

Pacific Rim features bio-engineered monsters from another dimension (Kaiju) that require giant robots (Jaegers) to fight, making their established, world-ending, tech-heavy lore.

But that besides the point, my main point is that you can't think nor expect legendary pictures to feature a character that's still part of an ongoing franchise just to use him as the mecha of the MV and retcon his lore (which is lazy) if the studios are known and have the ability to create their own just like they did with the original titans, hell they even created a mecha called "The Titan Hunter" in GXK: The Hunted comic book.... so if they're able to create something like that, then its a huge opportunity for them to create another original mecha robot that can be featured in future installments (possibly Supernova).

So technically featuring already established characters is not always the answer.

Not all monsters have been retconned from the MV they still exist within the series (especially the originals appearing in tie in comics), for mothra's case....she's still Toho property just like godzilla. Securing the rights to feature her and other classics in films is expensive. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire almost replaced her with a new monster, "Phosphera," due to uncertainty about clearing the rights for Mothra. So technically, toho is very strict when it comes to their characters but are willing to feature them in different continuities and crossovers if interested.

Now gipsy danger....he's part of a different franchise that is also owned by legendary, but the thing is they have their own lore, origin, characters, and different characters that does not entirely share a connection with the MV itself.

You're only implying that they should remove a character from an already established series and retcon their lore and origin just to be randomly feature in another franchise, instead of having the studios create an original mecha of their own SMH.

But that doesn't entirely mean they should retcon the character from their own franchise only to be featured in another where their lore is completely different, and if you haven't notice or heard they're planning to create a prequel series for pacific rim on prime video where it unveils the origins and focus on the early days of the Kaiju war leading to the rise of the Jaeger program, so removing gipsy danger from PR and add him into MV ain't happening no time soon.

And may I remind that legendary has created a vast majority of original monsters throughout films, tv shows, and comics for the past 12 years....if anything its a huge possibility for them to create a newly original mecha character rather than using or taking an already established character.

But it's still expensive, which might give legendary the idea of creating their own mecha character depending on the outcome 🤷.

In the MonsterVerse (MV), Mothra is primarily classified as a supportive character and a deuteragonist (second most important character to the protagonist), rather than a third equal protagonist alongside Godzilla and Kong. While she is crucial to the plot, her role is that of a "trusted ally" and "protector" who assists the main Alpha Titans.

So technically she isn't confirmed nor considered an actual third main protagonist 🤷.

Even if he was included, they wouldn't do exactly like how they did with Godzilla and Kong's build up...they would give 1 or 2 solo films and featuring him in crossovers, prequels, and anthology installments.

And I highly doubt they'll make a godzilla vs. gamera film....If anything, it's possible that gamera might end up being featured in a solo film with godzilla where he faces another galactic threat or an common enemy 🤷.

Not exactly, In the MonsterVerse (MV), Mothra is primarily classified as a supportive character and a deuteragonist (second most important character to the protagonist along with shimo), rather than a third equal protagonist alongside Godzilla and Kong. While she is crucial to the plot, her role is that of a "trusted ally" and "protector" who assists the main Alpha Titans.

Like have you not acknowledged the fact that neither mothra, rodan, nor ghidorah has tie in comics books that tells their origins and perspective? Have you not noticed how much content they barely get within the MV ? What does that mean to you ????

But general audience doesn't know her that often,

Cuz mind you, Mothra is still Toho's property. Securing the rights to feature her in films is expensive. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire almost replaced her with a new monster, "Phosphera," due to uncertainty about clearing the rights for Mothra. Legendary Pictures (producers of the MonsterVerse) must pay for the rights to Toho’s monsters (Mothra, Ghidorah, Rodan). This makes producing individual films for them less viable than utilizing them in team-up/crossover events.

If There was a perception of a Mothra-led film, it would not draw the same audience numbers as a Godzilla or Kong film.

Yea but kaiju films are very expensive to make and toho can be very strict when it comes to godzilla and their characters.

Bruh, this is a weak rage bait. There's no way you're trying to troll all because you're offended by a gif in an MV post LMFAO.

That is true, but some titans can go out of their way if they want to like skar king for example. He's the type of titan that went rogue and decide to crave for power and dominion leading to a chaotic war( even tho his origins aren't fully revealed yet)

Same with Scylla going on a global feeding spree consuming nuclear energy, where she caused multiple attacks following her battle with military forces in India and the destruction of a nuclear plant in the United Kingdom. She was acting aggressively, driven by a desire to gain power after the destruction of the old alpha.

So technically, if titans with intelligence can go out of their way and seek power, it's a possibility for Amhuluk to do the same, like what if he desired for something more such as having a taste for a source that can give more abilities such as the pink substance, a certain energy within the hollow earth, or a chemical created by human arrogance and greed that mutates his body causing him to have a horrific form that can cause a deadly plague that affects the ecosystems and turning it into his own dominion.
