Based On or A Part of

I think it's best if we settle this dispute with a good ol' fashion consensus. Should we go with Option 1: Based on Toho's Godzilla franchise or Option 2: A part of the Godzilla franchise or Option 3: nothing at all since it's crystal clear that the anime is based on Godzilla and doesn't merit spoon feeding the fact to readers. I'd go with option 1 since the majority of wiki articles about IPs typically open with "based on (etc)". @Some Dude From North Carolina:, User talk:Tagmon64, thoughts? It seems you two had the most disagreements on this. Armegon (talk) 22:06, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The series is not generally based on anything per se. It's an anime with Godzilla that features characters from multiple films and TV shows from the Godzilla franchise. To say it's based on it would be misleading, but we could use "inspired by". Multiple references compare Singular Point to other Netflix films, such as Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters, Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle, and Godzilla: The Planet Eater, which are all part of Reiwa period of the franchise.

Comment: Godzilla Island also features characters from other TV shows, but instead of being "based on" it, it's called a "spin-off". Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 22:17, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- In that case, we can go with option 3 and not add anything to the lead. That was my second choice. The anime is financed by Toho Animation, who own Godzilla, so it doesn’t make sense to add a “based on/part of/inspired by” unless this was an adaptation by a studio who was leasing the IP from Toho.

I agree. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 22:26, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the lack of response. I had no idea that the talk aspect was a thing amd I was at work for the past few hours. I was trying to have it link to other pages in some way to make it clear to those that may have randomly stumbled upon tbis page. But yeah, I will make no further edits Tagmon64 (talk) 16:49, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
