Godzilla (1954-2004) - Timelines

Is there a timeline for the modern Monsterverse? I can't find one anywhere, though I may just be looking in the wrong places
 

MonsterVerse Timeline

Okay, I decided to do this, since it's the only major shared universe that doesn't have a Thread on this site. I need your help, cos, since this Cinematic Universe doesn't have a wiki, I don't know if exist some sort of veryyyyy hidden medias, infact I have to give credits to @Dallas Kinard cos...

It's not really got any progress on it though. Maybe I'll make a timeline for the MonsterVerse, Shin Japan Heroes Universe and Godzilla Minus One one day, I don't know. We'll see.
 
I'd love to see a combined Monsterverse timeline, trying to fit as many movies/tie-in media as possible, prioritising everything equally. I'd propose a full combined timeline, but that'd have way too many inconsistencies. Though, with a compression timeline (as I'll be dubbing it) you could give explanations for movies that would be completely different if it was kept with the rest of its Monsterverse.

Just a thought. I feel if anyone other than someone already doing a Monsterverse timeline did it, it'd be a disservice to the people already making them, as it'd basically be copy-pasting loads
 
Well, I guess you could throw in the Rebirth of Mothra trilogy too. The IDW comics have their Godzilla fight and team up with Zilla, which would be a cool way to incorporate that in as well.
 
Would the Skull Island anime be able to be standalone, and thus, compressed? (I need a better word for this type of timeline-ing, just can't think of anything better right now)
 
Fun fact, Braindead is referenced by King Kong (2005). That movie begins on Skull Island too. Both are Peter Jackson films, so logically, that timeline goes:

1933 - King Kong (2005)
1957 - Braindead (1992)

I think that's pretty fun, personally. A mini-MonsterVerse made by Peter Jackson.
 
Since Kong: Skull Island implies the government (or some other entity) has been covering up kaiju-related happenings, you could probably just BS the MonsterVerse in by saying all the attacks were covered up, and the ones that wouldn't've been covered up in time for the military members in Kong: Skull Island didn't know about attacks because they were too busy fighting in the Vietnam War…

I presume the King Kong backstory in this thread's Monsterverse is roughly the same as the original, though anything could've happened from then to Kong: Skull Island, so it could be possible there were just 2 King Kongs - they are shown to be a species after all, perhaps the reason that guy from WWII knew so much about the lore of Skull Island was because he witnessed the decline of the Kong species (I forgot what the species was actually called - that might be it though)

I don't see why the accident that made Godzilla huge couldn't happen twice, either - kinda like how there's countless variants of monsters in the Universal Monsters Universe

King Kong from King Kong vs. Godzilla is 45 meter-tall gorilla from Faro Island, while King Kong from King Kong Escapes is a 20 meter-tall gorilla from Mondo Island. King Kong from the MonsterVerse is a 31.6 meter-tall gorilla (later 102-103 meter) from Skull Island. I think you could just assume they're a near-extinct species of ape that are completely unaware of one another.

It's humorous to watch Godzilla: The Series knowing that not only did Godzilla attack Japan in 1954, but Thor, Punisher, Thanos and Gorr exist. I mean, a Marvel crossover acting as a sequel to a movie that references a remake of a movie that it is a sequel to is pretty damn weird.

NGL, it does feel weird.

You can take It of you want @Pro Bot
 

I like to think the fisherman cook from the Japanese boat in Godzilla (1998) might have been a survivor of the 1954 Godzilla attack and confused Zilla with his Japanese counterpart. Even the sea monster myth in the movie, which people use as evidence that the original film didn't happen, actually comes from the 1954 film too. Odo Island residents have folklore about a giant sea monster, likely the same myth from the 1998 film, which technically becomes a "stealth sequel" in this context.
 
  • This Godzilla is often mistakenly confused as being one and the same as the Godzilla from the previous film, Godzilla 2000: Millennium, due to sharing the same design and many other similarities. However, Godzilla vs. Megaguirus is set in an entirely different continuity from Godzilla 2000: Millennium, where the Oxygen Destroyer was never used to kill Godzilla in 1954 and he continued to appear at various points over the next half-century, while the Godzilla from Godzilla 2000 is the second Godzilla to appear in that film's continuity, after the 1954 Godzilla.
    • Strangely, the Codex entry for this incarnation of Godzilla in the mobile game Godzilla Defense Force states that the Oxygen Destroyer was used against Godzilla, sending him into decades of hibernation.

Seeing as how Godzilla vs. Megaguirus is listed as a sequel to Godzilla (1954), I'd rather say that identical on-screen events from that movie occurred, meaning Godzilla WAS sent into two decades of hibernation by the Oxygen Destroyer. The idea of cutting off the entire final act from that film rubs me the wrong way. Just say that in that continuity, Godzilla didn't die from it. It doesn't matter because it's not connected to anything else.
