Hmm...All this talk of Godzilla Anime has got me thinking: how would you do a Monster Planet take on Godzilla?
Same setup as the anime trilogy - every Toho monster emerges at once, destroyed civilization utterly, the vast majority of humanity retreats with the aid of space aliens, flash forward a few thousand years.
Only this time, instead of focusing on a grating and poorly developed Ahab figure, our heroes are a pair of twins who have grown up ON the Planet of Monsters, living in the territory of the goddess Mothra. In this version, evern kaiju is still alive, and each has become the avatar of a certain chunk of territory that in turn matches their appearance - Anguirus rules a desert filled with large, jagged rock formations, Biollante is the center of a massive jungle filled with animate plant life, etc. They are, in essence, the new gods of the earth, and all life that remains on the planet has learned to live under their feet. And there is life now - a lot of it, in fact. The Planet of Monsters is a thriving planet, albeit one where humanity is not in control.
Which is a problem when the descendants of the humans who fled return to take back their ancestors’ turf.
Though our heroic twins are at first intrigued by the space-humans’ arrival, they soon realize that the meeting may not turn out in their favor, as the space-humans wish to kill the new gods and create an empire of man, even if it means destroying all the environments that have risen in the gods’ wake. Worse, the aliens that arrive with them seem to have even more sinister motives, and they all insist they know better than the “primitive moth cultists.” Can our heroes convince humanity to live in harmony with a world that’s outgrown them, or will the folly of men prove as endless as the wrath of Godzilla himself?
