While its predecessor Godzilla was noted by some for similarities with the 1995 film Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, Godzilla: King of the Monsters also features some parallels with the other films of director Shusuke Kaneko. Godzilla's physical appearance has changed since the last film, much like how Gamera's appearance evolved in each film of the Heisei trilogy. The film also incorporates the idea that the kaiju have inspired creatures from real-world mythologies, a concept featured in both Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris and Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. Both Mothra and King Ghidorah's new designs in this film share some traits with their revamped designs from GMK. After seeing the film, Kaneko himself acknowledged the similarities between Godzilla: King of the Monsters and GMK. There are many parallels between Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Gamera 2: Attack of the Legion. Both films have humanity deciding to join forces with the heroic monster against a much greater threat. Both of the antagonistic kaiju are extraterrestrial monsters who want to reshape the earth to fit their needs with an army of minions at their disposal. The heroic kaiju is nearly killed before his final encounter with his enemy, but comes back to life. With the assistance of humanity and a powerful final attack, the heroic monster is victorious in his final clash with his foe. At the end of the film, both humanity and the heroic monster are in an uneasy alliance, but many question how long it will last. The film also shares some similarities with Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris, with human villains aiming to unleash the antagonist monster in order to drastically reduce the human population. It also features a lead young female character who had a previous traumatic experience with the main monster.
