I’m mean, so if I included Gojirin in a Godzilla timeline, she wouldn’t technically exist…
She’d show up in a story about Godzilla and many people getting caught up in a shared-hallucination/dream-timeline deal. Godzilla’s desire to meet another of his kind mingles with the ideas of children to produce Gojirin.
That…could actually be a dilemma. Keep everyone trapped in a fantasy ideal, including Godzilla, sparing the world his destruction? or break everyone out, monsters included?
If Godzilla is a mutation in this continuity, he would show no signs of desiring to mate despite this being meant to be his “dream girl” from a child’s point of view not understanding the concept. Hormones for gettingin the mood would be too messed up.
I actually like the idea of there being more than one Godzilla, and also a potential origin for Godzilla Jr. or Minilla, to the point that I kind of figured out a way to make a quasi-plausible MonsterVerse Gojirin.
So, her key design points are that she’s pink and has more rounded dorsal plates? Those aren’t actual that implausible.
First off, the color. The Himalayas have areas full of pink salt. It’s not super saturated cartoon pink, but it is still pink.
Secondly, it’s MonsterVerse canon that Titanus gojira dorsal plates grow, break, and regrow in different shapes over the course of an individual’s lifetime.
So how do I make Gojirin work? Simple. She went into hibernation pretty much right underneath one of those salt deposits in the Himalayas, and the stuff has more or less embedded itself into her hide, giving her a pinkish hue that isn’t typical of the species.
The rounded plates could just be chalked up to individual differences, but I go back and forth between that and saying that she’s an older individual who’s been hibernating longer, and her plates have eroded into somewhat rounded shapes. Not cartoon heart-shaped though; maybe one can look like that to make her inspiration crystal clear, but otherwise no.
Where was she during King of the Monsters (2019)? You can basically give the same answer as the Queen Muto/”Barb” regarding Godzilla (2014); Gojirin was buried deep enough that she just didn’t hear any of it.
She gets woken up by [insert plot-related events here].
