Okay maybe can't is a strong word but it's certainly something thats not done easily. The only one i can think of is The Thing but the original Godzilla is much more important and popular and famous then The Thing From Another World and this new Godzilla wasn't good enough to become more iconic then it.

Another reason why this new Godzilla will never and can never surpass the original. Godzilla isn't just a Japanese movie, it's a part of their cultural. It's important to them. It's representative of the biggest disaster and tragedy in their history.
