"If I were to direct the next Godzilla film, I would like to do a sequel to this one, but after all, there have been two stand-alone Godzilla films in a row, so perhaps the next one will have to feature an enemy monster." - Godzilla Minus One director Takashi Yamazaki

Rodan (1956) was once considered the best of Toho's giant creature features. Placed above even the original Godzilla. Its destruction scenes were held in high regard and used as stock footage in later Toho kaiju films. However, the film seems almost forgotten nowadays.

In the wake of Godzilla Minus One's success, Shin Ultraman seems like it was wildly mismanaged in the international market + like a lot of money was left on the table. Botched physical media release aside, not securing a proper Chinese theatrical release feels like a big fumble.
