The Godzilla Minus One Series Should End with the Third Film

The Godzilla Minus One reboot franchise has been an amazing direction for Godzilla, depicting a combination of the old school version while introducing a modern take into the popular Kaiju. We are also following a brand-new story, that takes place in 1945, shortly after World War 2. Just when the people who survived the war are barely starting to recover, Godzilla appears, bringing back the same brutal destruction to their lives again.

This is the first time I really wanted Godzilla to disappear, because we now to get to focus on the main thing that Hollywood completely disregarded after their own reboot version of Godzilla back in 2014. The humans are the real victims of Godzilla, and despite how cool he is, we need to remember that he is getting millions of people killed. The other Kaiju are just as bad, not giving a damn who becomes their victims. It's a tragic story and kind of genius, using Godzilla and the other Kaiju as some sort of disturbing metaphor for war.

Godzilla Minus One made Godzilla the main villain, when he decided to target Japan. He even used his atomic breathe on the city, blowing up multiple people. This scene was so hard to watch, and the film made sure that you focused on the people, before they were blown away by the blast.

The main character and his team were able to defeat Godzilla at the end of film, but it was only a temporary defeat.

Godzilla Minus Zero gets slightly bigger, now introducing a new enemy, known as King Ghidorah. The U.S. also now gets involved with Japan, wanting to help them defeat this new Kaiju. The main character's wife also plays a very important role in the sequel this time. She had absorbed Godzilla's power after the first attack upon Japan, and she is the only one who can contact Godzilla.

She offers to help her allies by connecting with Godzilla, to defeat King Ghidorah. Godzilla survives the attack, and we learn that the U.S. had made a deal with Japan, to continue using Godzilla as a weapon. The film ends with the main character escaping with his wife and daughter, determined to keep them safe.

I think the reboot should end with the third film.

From the story that is being told by the director, I think it is fitting to have the story end with the third entry. There are two ways the next film will be like to end this perfect, possible trilogy.

1. The film has the main character's wife transform into Mothra, and will help Godzilla defeat something even worse than Godzilla or King Ghidorah. The reason why I'm mentioning Mothra, is because the ending credits to the sequel had played the Mothra theme song, and also gave credit to the song...this can't be a coincidence.

2. The main character's wife will transform into Mothra to take down Godzilla. This story could still work, because since the U.S. government wants to use him as a weapon. While I like this idea, I'm not sure if we should get another story of Godzilla being evil again. He was still evil in the sequel in some way, but he wasn't outright destroying cities left and right like King Ghidorah. But to be fair, that Kaiju is able to fly, and I'm sure if Godzilla could fly, the entire world would have most likely ended.

I know I keep bringing up the atomic breathe, but that blast from Godzilla is the strongest one I have ever seen in a Godzilla film.

Do you think Godzilla Minus One should end with the third film?

Thank you for reading!
