This would be great.
Yes, I do agree with that statement. Godzilla was also pretty darn wasted.
This isn't really about Millie Bobby Brown, but I feel like Godzilla VS. Kong didn't show enough Godzilla. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed every scene Godzilla appeared in, but I feel like they could have at least shown more of Godzilla's side of the story. Same with the Warbats and Skullcrawlers. I would kill to see them more often on screen. But again, these are just my thoughts. Still a good movie though!
Yeah.
At least we know his name is JOHHHHHHHN CENAAAAAAAAA.
Yeah me neither actually. His time is not now if you know what mean.
Why not John Cena? Just a thought.
AND HIS NAME IS JOHHHHHHHN CENAAAAAAAAAA
I can't picture him in the MonsterVerse though, tbh.
*pant, pant*
This was a long time coming....but I finally did it.
AHHH HECK NAW
I propose that the female MUTO is the best looking female character in the Godzilla series. She even managed to attract a male and reproduced in San Francisco.
The last couple of designs look like something off of the I, Robot movie. To me at least.
Kattozilla,
Precisely. He was used in the same way he was in earlier movies: Atomic-phobia in Godzilla '54 and Godzilla Raids Again, an arbiter for the evils of capitalism in Mothra vs. Godzilla, even in Invasion of Astro-Monster he's treated as a Cold War weapon schematic up for trade. Not to mention the embodiment of Cold War fears in Return of Godzilla. In a lot of these cases Godzilla transcends characterization and takes foothold in something almost terrifyingly otherworldly--god-like even.
Yeah, he was more like a metaphor or stand-in for any disaster and how slow Japan is to do something about it.
Kattozilla,
Agreed. The Godzilla in Shin Godzilla was perfect for the story and maintain a solemn sort of terror behind his mysteriously blank persona. I prefer Godzilla to stand in as a walking metaphor or some kind of god-like entity we don't completely understand. The less relatable I find Godzilla, the more interesting he is--Like something that stands above us for unknown reasons.
I agree @YeOldFossil.
Btw, I just now noticed the signature setting in my profile. :)
Alright, maybe a bit of an out-there idea but here me out. Megalon!
Imagine what if in ancient prehistory some civilizations remained in the Hollow Earth and evolved into their own subspecies of humans. Maybe these civilizations used to warship the Kong species, but after they went extinct they found a new god-like figure in another Hollow Earth creature like Megalon.
Based on Megalon's previous Role and Origin and seeing as we're likely going to explore more of the Hollow Earth in the next Kong movie, I think it could make for a pretty cool story! I know Megalon isn't really related to Kong in any way, but with a connected universe as the MonsterVerse, I think it could be cool to see characters from different franchises crossover (Similarly to how Kong was originally supposed to be in Ebirah: Horror of the Deep instead of Godzilla).
But more on topic, I do hope Kong goes back to the more brutal R-rated action of Skull Island. I think it really fits the character and makes his movies distinct from the other Monsterverse movies!
@Chris, yeah. That’s why I doubt they will do son of Kong. Just really doesn’t make sense for the most part after making it such a big deal that he is the last of his kind. Rather have it be more just Kong and team exploring and finding out the origins and evolution of the titans along with Kong’s people history. A real deep dive into who is King Kong and how he came to be. Maybe an explication that will properly explain his role in the monsterverse is as it seems Godzilla and the other titans have clear roles in restoring nature and Kong is just there.
Maybe the Dr. Houston , but everyone else is not with Monarch. I would like for the Dr to come back and connect with Kong. Show Kong’s intelligence by having him remember a friendly face even though it was years ago. Not to mention he was the one that really pushed the hollow earth theory and proved it back in K:SI. I’m sure he would love to be down there and see what all his years of research has lead to.
@sonictiger, yeah. GvK just had him lose the whole movie and need help. I want this movie to fix that. Kong was said to be this apex predator, and alpha titan, and this Kong movie needs to show that where GvK failed. But it’s not all about the fights though they shouldn’t skimp on them at all. I want to dive deeper into Kong’s history. Jia is definitely a major character as she is who Kong cares about the most.
They should also bring back some KSI characters
Well, they'll have to explain a lot about how Kong ends up having a son. Are we to assume Hollow Earth houses other Kong species? If so that opens up a lot more doors. So I guess my expectations is an elaborate exploration of Hollow Earth above all else.
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).
.....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.
