Timeline Reasoning
In Godzilla, there is a direct statement of August 13th. An August calendar can be seen.

In Godzilla Raids Again, the newspapers in the film state 30-1-20 and 30-1-23, placing the movie in January 1955 based off of Showa years.

In Rodan, there is a calendar that has 29 visible days. However, it starts on the 7th day and the month looks like "8月" or "9月". September matches with the month starting on Saturday. It is possible that day 30 is being covered by a white strip at the bottom of the calendar.

Technically yes, but King Kong hasn't had a film in the timeline yet plus it's a new Godzilla-exclusive iteration.

So is that February 1956? I honestly don't understand the Japanese calendars so I'm just making an assumption here based on the 29 day month.
 
Sooo, given the latest updates with the Marvel comics...

At this point, we really need a dedicated thread solely for the Marvel multiverse and linking to every universe. ;P
 
Honestly, I'd love doing a GMK timeline just because of how cool it is that Godzilla (1998), which was supposed to be an American remake, is set in the same universe as the original 1954 film and apparently Marvel characters. I would include Godzilla: The Series though... I don't really like that the wiki has them separate, it actually makes sense because monster attacks increased after the 1997 Zilla attack.
 
Why can't Godzilla 2000: Millennium and Godzilla vs. Megaguirus be set after Destroy All Monsters? I think they fit
 
I would love to see someone rationalise all the Toho films into one continuity though. Not sure how it'd work, but I'd guess the Heisei Godzilla is a separate individual, with 2000-SOS being either Showa or Godzilla Jr., GMK being about another separate ghost Godzilla, Final Wars being about ANOTHER, another Godzilla, and Zilla in Final Wars being Zilla Jr. from Godzilla: The Series... I guess. Fucked up ending for him though, since he's a good guy.

Despite Final Wars officially not sharing continuity with any other film, the events of Godzilla (1998) are alluded to, with the 1997 placement even being accurate.

Zilla's origins go unexplained in Godzilla Final Wars. However, according to the film's theater program, Zilla's "true identity is unknown, but according to one theory it may be the same monster that struck New York in 1997."[9] The 2005 book Godzilla Final Wars Super Complete Works similarly states, "Informal information has been reported saying that the same kind of monster appeared on the East Coast of the U.S. in 1998," clearly referencing the 1998 film GODZILLA. The book also states that Zilla is a "mutated iguana monster with tuna as its regular meal."[5][note 2] The connection to a monster who attacked New York City in the late 1990s continues to be maintained in Zilla's Monsterpedia entry on Godzilla.com.[16]

So, that'd be pretty cool for a head-canon timeline.
