Godzilla 1998 and Zilla profile separation

[Apex_Predator_GX]

Zilla Jr and Godzilla (1998) are considered Godzilla incarnations as they still retain the Godzilla copyright and trademark in any Official Toho Media since 2003 including books, comics, and videogames.

After TriStar's rights to Godzilla expired in 2003, Toho took ownership of the TriStar Godzilla and re-trademarked it as a new character called Zilla that was featured in the 2004 film Godzilla: Final Wars, where it is quickly killed onscreen by the Japanese Godzilla.

So basically Godzilla 98 and Zilla are different characters legally, even if they look the same.

Solution: We should split both profiles into 2.

Yeah, 1998 movie is technically its own canon as it's got no relation to any other Godzilla movie, so it would technically be a different character than the one that appears in Final Wars, especially since the first Zilla actually dies before Final Wars was even out.

I agree that their different characters due to coming from two different continuities and that their profiles could be split.

Ok thank you

This sounds about right.

Done, this can be closed now.
