As soon as I saw Mila Kunis I was sold, I'd watch a snuggie infomercial if she was in it. I am however saddened that I'll have to see yet another Sean Bean death scene

Imagine this: a Godzilla/Pacific Rim crossover.
It's been a decade since the last Kaiju were seen. Earth in all it's triumphalist idiocy is busy rebuilding and enjoying the "peace dividend." A token force of "Mark VI" Jaegars are built, and the public is happy, they feel safe. They watch on the news as the new Jaegers shoot at practice targets, and spar. What they don't know is what the pilots know: the Jaegars are a sham. The world is still economically crippled from the Kaiju War, and no resources exist to invest in real combat-ready Jaegars that the politicians can better spend on sprinkling luxuries on a victorious human race.
Indeed, so intent is the world government on making the propagandistic Jaegar force appear strong that they are never allowed to strike each other with real blows. Most of what the public sees is CGI, and the Jaegars brought out in public are little more than hollow shells. Behind these steel shells lie pilots reminiscing about the days when they were real warriors. Drunks and a few eager kids, wishing for the good old days.
Then one day the Kaiju return. First they trash Hong Kong, site of their last failed attack. The politicians, buying their own lies, send the Jaegers against them. The token force is decimated in moments. As the Kaiju finish tearing Hong Kong to shreds and set out for their next target the humans turn to what worked the last time: nukes. They nuke the Kaiju as they pass by a quarantined former nuke testing island in the Pacific (playfully hinted at with some sarcastic quips in the dialogue between generals). The Kaiju are stunned, but they don't go down. They seem to have been engineered to resist this kind of weapon (quick reference to first movie). They continue making their way for the next target: Tokyo.
The camera zooms over Tokyo to the West, passing the incoming Kaiju, back to the island that got re-nuked. And that's when hear it, a row rumble followed by the iconic roar.
Cut back to Tokyo. Evacuation is at full steam. Chaos has ensued. The Kaiju come ashore and proceed to smash the first round of buildings. Jets are dropping missiles into them with little effect. The human race seems doomed. Camera follows yet another missiles on it's way in (gunsight view). But the flash as it makes contact isn't a little orange explosion like before. It's a giant blue flash. It lights up the screen and eventually dims. And we see a hole burned deep into the Kaiju, which first stiffens, then unceremoniously collapses. Pan to Godzilla right behind the fallen Kaiju. Godzilla plants his mighty foot on the body and lets loose his shattering roar. The other Kaiju look up from their wanton destruction and find their new target, utterly unaware of how dangerous a beast they are facing.
The Overlords miscalculated. They may have their Kaiju, but we have ours. And he has awoken. This is Tokyo, his hometown. And no one is going to mess with it other than him.
Where the film goes from this fun battle I leave to your imagination. I'm particularly partial to humans hatching a plan to draw Godzilla to the new portal once they localize it. There he sets up camp, kills anything that comes through. This lasts for many years. Film could end with view of overlords engineering their own answer to Godzilla. An overlordified version of the King. Then cut to black, sequel well established.
