I love how parts of the fight were shot from the perspective of looking out windows, as if you were actually there witnessing the fight. I also really liked that they showed the people trapped in the city, it reminded you that it wasn't just some fun action scene and that people were actually caught in the middle of the battle, which made it feel a lot scarier.

I loved the framing in G14’ it was always from the perspective of people, it was amazing. They did that a little in KOTM, but not really in GVK.  

According to some sources, Prometheus is Frankenstein's monster. I vote for fantasy because based on this type, I can create compare and contrast essays. On home page my friend chooses the real subjects, but I think that is too boring. Finally, maybe the best option is the combination of them.

Same. I re-watched 2014 Yesterday, and I really love how suspenseful some of the scenes are. The movie has a really ominous tone to it and a feeling of impending doom, which was somewhat replicated in King of the Monsters, but was kind of missing from Godzilla vs Kong. The scene where the Male MUTO hatches and scene where the Female MUTO attacks the train are really suspenseful and legitimately scary. Even Godzilla himself feels like a mysterious force of nature, where you're not really sure if he's a hero protecting the world, or just an animal stalking his prey.

I hope they return to the cryptic, tenebrous tone of Godzilla (2014).

Its cool

It would be cool, and they would have plenty of material to work with, but I'm fine with it just taking place between G14 and KOTM.

That would be cool, but we’ve just had confirmation it’s between G14’ and GVK

As I've said before, it could be possible that this show takes an anthology format and fills in the gaps between G14 and KOTM, KOTM and GVK, and post-GVK.  I think it could be the best way to handle this show, and to make sure it's not too short or too long.

@G. H. (Gman): Exactly. If general audiences see Toho monsters no differently than original monsters, is there really a point in licensing more of them in the future? This is why I keep arguing that purchasing Showa Era monsters like Gorosaurus, Manda, Baragon, and Kumonga would be pointless, as Legendary could just make their own similar looking monsters and have them fill the same role.  

XarKhaan,
No one is blaming the box office on them--The initial point is including them didn't do anything to attract general audiences who probably saw them no differently than an original creation. (Like the MUTO.)

And while we can blame its release date being put in the center of a Disney minefield, keep in mind it was WB that moved the film to that claustrophobic window from a much safer March release date. So they must've thought it was going to do better. (For some reason.) Reviews likely didn't help either as audiences tend to depend on that when there's an influx of blockbusters they're not sure which to spend money on.

@jack capellini   thats the thing there well Mothra and Rodan didnt attract anybody new it also didnt deter anybody i dont think having 2 brand new monsters would have done anything to attract new people either  KOTM just came out at a bad time of the year. blaming its box office results on the monsters is like blaming the dog for its fleas.

@G. H. (Gman): I agree. While I doubt people were driven away by the inclusion of Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah, their inclusion didn’t really help the film succeed at the box office. For kaiju fans, seeing three of Toho’s most iconic monsters on the big screen was a huge deal since they already see those monsters as actual characters. But when it comes to general audiences, they mostly watch these movies for monster action, and don’t see a deeper meaning in the monsters portrayed on screen. I also doubt they see them as characters, with the exception of Kong, as he is an American icon and more humanoid in appearance.

While I’m not doubting that general audiences may have enjoyed seeing Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah visually portrayed on screen in KOTM, I doubt that they super invested in the ways the monsters were portrayed as characters. They probably went to their local theater, saw the movie, enjoyed the monster action, and then left the theater thinking “Man, this movie was a fun ride, and seeing Godzilla incinerate Ghidorah at the end was incredible…Anyway, avengers assemble!” What I’m trying to say is that they probably saw KOTM as good filler to keep them entertained before they got the chance to see Avengers: Endgame while it was still playing in theaters. 

This goes to show that the Kaiju Genre is not as popular among mainstream audiences as fans seem to think it is. 

Also, how about Godzilla Vs. Shin Godzilla?

Exactly.

It's ok, Godzilla did deserve his star.

How did you like the poem, comment down below!(please)

Godzilla is a film icon, and the greatest movie monster of all time(no offense kong fans) he definitely deserves a star.

1. GareGoji (2014)

2. DougheGoji (2019-2021)

3. ShodaiGoji (1954)

4. ToraGoji (1998)

5. BioGoji (1989-1991)

I like Kamata-kun (although Shinagawa-kun doesn't get as much credit as he deserves either), 4th form is obvious, but I actually also really like the 5th form human things

POG CHAMP

YAAAAAAA! FINALY A GOROSAURS FIGURE 

maybe a crossover with pacific rim

Remember shin Rodan from the Godzilla singular point series, has under water breathing, resilience and stamina and strength 

I loved it. It shows that final wars Godzilla is still alive and fighting 

Yeah, totally...

sonictiger

Seriously, the original Kong was taken from his home, put on display, got shot down and ragdolled off the side of The Empire State Building, yet he can't even get a Hollywood star? This is the thanks he gets for pioneering special effects?

#JusticeForKong

#The8thWonderOfTheWorldDeservesBetter

#IStandWithMonke

The monke doesn't have a star?

oops, now he's challenging Godzilla for his...

The star was put there in 2004 to celebrate Godzilla's 50th anniversary and the premiere of Final Wars.

Here's a photo of Godzilla receiving his star:

It is interesting that Godzilla got a Hollywood star considering that he's a Japanese monster and the only Hollywood film at the time was 1998, yet Kong, the American monster that helped to inspire Godzilla's creation doesn't have one.

Yuzo is traditional tokusatsu as well.

Behind the Scenes look at Yuzo

First of All the Hollywood star is in America. I don’t think Toho just decided to put Godzilla there, I believe they were probably invited by Americans.

but I have no idea

Im gonna say Shin Godzilla the 4th form cuz its obvious

1. DougheGoji (2019-Present)

2. GareGoji (2014)

3. ShinGoji (2016-2019)

4. DesuGoji (1995)

5. EarthGoji (2017-2018)

Technically speaking, the MonsteVerse Mechagodzilla could be considered a form of Ghidorah, since it was built using one of Ghidorah's brains to control it, and was later taken over by Ghidorah's consciousness. 

I think Ghidorah should return in the MonsterVerse, but personally, I don't think that Ghidorah should keep being revived over and over again, as I feel like that would become a bit too repetitive. However, King of the Monsters actually set up a pretty good way for Ghidorah to return in a way that feels natural to the story, by having him come to Earth in prehistoric times and having an ancient rivalry with Godzilla. I really liked how Godzilla and Ghidorah's battle in that movie wasn't the first time they met, but instead felt like a chapter in a much larger story. I think they could (and possibly should) explore that ancient rivalry in future installments.
