Hopefully it isn't just Kong getting his butt kicked.  I want his friendship with Jia to be expanded upon, and I also want Kong to fight either Gorosaurus but if not Goro, than Rhedosaurus (AKA The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms).

But....nevermind.

.....the frick

Harassing GvK? It’s honest criticism. GvK had so much potential and it was all wasted. The fights are the only thing keeping it afloat.I see so many people going GvK was the best monsterverse movie and demanding Adam come back for Kong. No. I don’t want him to direct a Kong movie where he will have Kong get his ass whooped every fight and need people to save him so he can have a chance to win and cut all the important story scenes and character moments. That not the Quality a Kong movie should be held too. 

Not sure if Hedorah is female or not...

But I do know that it's "Drop Dead" Gorgeous!!!

I was only comparing the Shin and Legendary. As much as I enjoy Shin Godzilla, my biggest issue with that film (and some of Toho's current Godzilla products) is that Godzilla lacks a personality. I prefer it when monsters have personality because it makes them feel more alive, a creature that thinks, breaths and has motivation. As cool as Shin is, it never felt like a living creature or a character. It pretty much felt like a glorified, occasionally moving set piece that was pretty much just there to look scary. There was no motivation, all it did was walk forward and occasionally fire its atomic beams. The only time that it felt alive was when they dropped a bomb on it and it reacted like it was in pain. The problem with that characterization is that it just reinforces the stereotype that Godzilla is nothing more than a big dumb brute that smashes things. I get that they want him to feel like an unstoppable force of nature, but by taking away his personality, I feel that it takes away some of his appeal. My favorite version of the character was in the Heisei films, mainly because he had personality and was able to show emotion such as anger and sadness. The Heisei Godzilla wasn't just a city smashing brute, he was an intelligent creature with a soul, which added a lot of layers to the character and made him more interesting. The thing that I really like about the Legendary films is that they are able to portray the monsters as characters and that they have a hierarchy and an order between them, so they're not just destroying things and fighting each other for the heck of it. That's why I personally like the Legendary version more than Shin.   

I think what I like about Shin IS the no personality. He's more like this...thing. Like a force to be reckoned with. Again, just my opinion.

Aw and that’s where you are wrong, it’s only a introduction to his personality growth in the reboots of Tohos series, WHICH LEGENDARYS GODZILLA IS BASED OFF OF, SO YOU CANT LIKE THEIRS BETTER THEN THE ONES WHO CREATED GODZILLA, he will grow from a monster to a guardian, who knows until we see a avengers Godzilla movie or endgame

I was kind of hoping that there would be a larger discussion on this topic...

It's hard to compare these two versions, they're two completely different characters. Overall, I like both, although I do like the Legendary version a bit more, mainly because he's closer to the classic Godzilla and has a lot of personality, unlike Shin.

Not a sequel but something better which is why Shin has my vote

I remember the Showa since I at least watched most of the earlier films more than once

But seriously on the topic this time, based on the success of GvK, I'm pretty sure the Monsterverse will stick around for a bit longer. Hopefully, this DOESN'T mean we won't be seeing any new Toho Godzilla projects.

I don't think we will see Shin Godzilla 2 as I believe it works better as a solo movie and I believe Toho has said themselves that they aren't interested. Though I think it's unlikely, I do think having 2 Godzilla series running side by side (Monsterverse and World of Godzilla) could be awesome.

I'm definitely more interested in the Godzilla material Toho is backing than Legendary's right now. Hopefully we get an announcement on their end soon, though I would think it will happen after Singular Point and when GvK releases in Japan.

It's not really "Harassing", it's just fair criticism.

I'd say Legendary would take the win in most scenarios. Legendary is far more build for battle and although Shin is pretty durable, Legendary can take a LOT more damage. He's also pretty mobile compared to Shin.

Shin might get some good damage in ones he fires the full power of his Atomic Death, but I think it would take too long to charge fully. Maybe if Shin is able to stay in the fight long enough, he could potentially evolve into a more battle-based form which if he does, he could give Legendary a run for his money.

EDIT: Nvm, Definitely should have read the topic before commenting. I am a dumb dumb

His acting is considered by many Aaron's worst performance that wasn't Age Of Ultron, and I didn't care for it either.  He wasn't convincing to me. 

Stop harassing GVK my dude.

cool

e :)

hmmmm

work brain work

Ummm this post has listed Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, and American actresses, so another post is redundant 

yes they should stay seperate

KaijuBuildz,
I think the Showa era is without question the best of the series and even at its lowest showcased filmmakers using their talent and resourcefulness to make the stories work. I think the lowest point in the series is the 90s films Heisei series--Where the ideas were wonderful, but the execution included too many characters doing too little and filling in gaps for the monster fights. (Sound familiar?) Sure they tried to be meaningful, unlike GvK, but they were too muddled to be great. I think the Monsterverse already became like that with King of the Monsters and sunk even lower with Godzilla vs. Kong.

Oh good I agree

Oh good I agree they should stay separate

Pretty sure the kong's didnt enslave titans, they probably just didnt want to mess with any titan unless provoked or attacked

Basically what I wanted to say but better

How was Aaron Taylor Johnson's acting terrible? Granted he didn't have a lot to work with, but to say he didn't execute on exactly what the part demanded is nonsensical. He was even praised for his realistic portrayal of how marines deal with immediate loss by marines and their partners. If anything, his nuance elevated the movie.

I'd rather the Pacific Rim universe and Monsterverse stay separate. Besides, the dates in both universes don't add up.

I hope a third movie is greenlit one of these days, but the anime was quite impressive.

*insert the song about slavery from that one Elf Bowling movie (yes that happened look it up)*

I guess he was just more like a 'stand-in' character

He was dull, and the acting was terrible...

that idea is really dumb.               (and also really cool)

KAIJU SLAVERY

Kay thanks :)

King Ghidorah is very different from the design style used by the Precursors for their Kaijus.

Yeah there already exists a topic for this, gonna lock this one since it's somewhat of a duplicate.

I think Pacific Rim should stay separate from the MonsterVerse.
