This is the most Awesome Looking Godzilla/Marvel Team up Since The 1970’s, when The Avengers fought Godzilla!

Godzilla vs. The Avengers Round 2. The sequel I don't think anyone expected but is quite welcome.

2 questions after reading this article:

Are there any plan for Marvel to do a Godzilla vs Ultraman given that Marvel has published an Ultraman comic/graphic novel series? If a Japanese manga (or even a live-action crossover) is not going to have a Godzilla vs Ultraman, then let Marvel Comics take a shot at this crossover.

Are there any plan for the Marvel crossover to get a Japanese language release? What about the Godzilla: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus, is this going to get a Japanese-language release for the Japanese market? And what about the Marvel's Ultraman comic/graphic novels, when is that going to get a Japanese-language release too?

Well, I guess that's it. After Nintendo 64 years, the Marvel universe is over. Godzilla destroyed it. Oh, well.

You had a good run, Marvel. Well, except for that Clone Saga thing. And except for getting rid of Krakoa, that was a dumb move. Also, the second Doctor Strange movie, just terrible. But other than that, Marvel, you didn't do bad. But now it's over and Tom Hiddleston can finally find another character to play. RIP to Maggot and also to the various Marvel characters not name Maggot.

This could be a pretty cool crossover and the perfect culmination of all those "Godzilla vs ____" one-shots.

At least we're finally done with Paul.

In a tragic development, it turns out that Godzilla is actually Paul's Pokemon.

I might be alone in saying this,but this could help Marvel. As long as they don't turn this into yet another political sermon,it might actually do well. By the looks of things,they might actually do that.

I would also love to see Marvel tackle a Godzilla vs. Ultraman book, but I can't imagine either Toho or Tsubaraya would be able to come to terms on a crossover. Neither side would want their character to look bad, so I can't see such a project getting off the ground.

Would be funny in light of how Godzilla in some depictions serves as an allegory of what happens when man disrupts nature.

Yeah, it's not like comics haven't been pushing politically motivated stories for decades or anything...

Zero Tolerance & Maximum Security seem very apropos in this current landscape.

Looks like I struck a nerve here. There seems to have been quite a few people that have gotten a little upset about my earlier comment here. So,let me explain what I mean. For many years now,the entertainment industry,and that includes comics,have been heavily political. While I'm not against that,for a lot of people,it tends to get tiresome. Most people want to be entertained,not constantly preached to.
For those people,they can go churches or college for sermons or lectures. They don't really want that in their entertainment. They want a break from reality for a little while,but sadly,we have political activists running much of the entertainment industry. That means that we get political screeds in our TV shows,films,and other things,instead of entertainment.

That being said,I've never really had a problem with creative people expressing their political or social views in their work. Lots of them have done it. Those like Osamu Tezuka and others have done it without becoming annoying or troublesome. But,that's not what's happening in modern entertainment. The message comes before everything else. Story,characters,etc. That takes a back seat to whatever message they want to send. And that message gets sent with all the grace and subtlety of a two by four to the face and it's been constant.
Most people don't like that. It's not just the bad scripts and whatever else that's been plaguing current Hollywood. It's the constant political lectures that are the main source of the problem. Most people go to the movies or read comic books to escape reality for a little while. What they've gotten for years now are these constant sermons from the Church of Progressivism to which many in the entertainment industry are beholden.

But,some changes are coming. There are those in Hollywood and elsewhere that see that people aren't going to see their films or television or reading comics. They've gone elsewhere. They are beginning to realize that they may have to go back to being non-political and make things for a more general audience. It may be a long time before that happens,but with the failure of films like "Snow White,"such changes may be unavoidable. That may be the best thing for Hollywood. For itself and it's bottom line.

The very first Marvel Comic ever published was about four people trying to beat the Communists into space. Marvel has been political since literally day one.
