Should this movie have a musical number, starring Mothra's tiny twin spokeswomen?

It just won't be a proper Mothra movie without the tiny "fairies" singing away!

It MUST have that!
And they should strip.
Followed by a three-way with an equally-bare Tinkerbell (who was modeled after Marilyn Monroe), on loan from Disney.
Box office Boffo!
I agree on the threesome... FULLY!
Unfortunately:
Mothra's Shobijin will not be in the filmshare
Because of the focus of realism in the film series, the magical tiny twin fairies, the Shobijin, will not appear. Not the first time this has happened. Though, there are ways to incorporate something like them however.
Making them human-sized priestesses of a tribe that worships Mothra.
They would fill the same role, being her herald, giving information about Kaiju to the protagonists, and singing her song.
Not having them at all, but including small homages to them.
Like having a pair of twins stare at awe at Mothra, just like in GMK.
Chances are pretty good Zhang Ziyi's role is whatever the equivalent to the Shobijin are going to be. The idea they haven't named her character yet and only played with the idea it connects to Monarch leaves it kind of open. I would not rule out possibilities she as a Monarch employee learns of her family connection to Mothra or Mothra's followers infiltrated Monarch for Mothra's protection. Regardless whether they are actual fairies or some kind of cult in a monastery there will probably be a Shobijin equivalent.
That being said we should also openly admit at least part of this fanbase will be kind of upset if Mothra loses some of her classic splendor in the name of Hollywood realism. Especially when we've got someone like Michael Doughtery as director here who based on his previous work seems like a solid fit.
No tiny singing priestesses? I'm scandalized!
What outrage is next - teams of scientists that don't include a ten year old Japanese boy?
The twins have to be there if Mothra is
shareLet's hope they omit the goofiness that was the tiny twins.
shareNah. Goofiness is a huge element of the Godzilla series.
shareWhich is what is so refreshing about these new films. No more bad foam rubber suits and balsa miniature cities, Godzilla playing soccer, or flying, or talking to his monster friend with speech bubbles. Those campy movies were great fun when I was 10, but now that I'm grown up it's nice to see the stories retold as science fiction films for adults.
sharePersonally I can't even bare the thought of a Mothra appearance without the fairies. Imagine if, say, GMK tried to pull something like that. Or Destroy All Monsters - a 50-year-old heresy is what we'd refer to it as today, definitely not a classic. Jesus.
