Just one or two new clips

First Comment 

Indeed, but consider the filmmakers in question. Do you really think the director of the original film wasn't pushing his own agenda in each movie regardless of the story? For example, Mothra vs. Godzilla is a capitalist warning fable. Monster Zero is a Cold War commentary and a fantasy for the success of universal unison. All Monsters Attack is about the deconstruction of the Japanese nuclear family in the middle of an economic crisis that left kids raising themselves while parents worked and crime was at all time high.

Preference is fine, but the powerful messages are no less there. There's a reason the Criterion Collection only wanted the Showa Series and nothing after.

Hype! Team Kong baby!!

Looks like Kong might lose the first round against Godzilla or maybe he takes a nasty hit from MechaG while teaming up with Kong. Even though, kong will get up and keep on fighting. This doesn’t mean Kong loses, just means he needs to fight harder considering his opponents. Got to want it more. Team Kong!

I personally don’t see those in the films, so my preference is original. I mean, It needs a super powerful message and that could have been a great message in another film. Godzilla was just sort of shoved in. Basically I prefer Godzilla as a villain or as a force of nature. Not raising the Minya. I like all Godzilla films, but that’s just not what I want. I just think that those films are not as deep as others, but anything can be deep, depending on how far you reach into it.

Ironically, All Monsters Attack has some of the most relevant Japanese themes of the whole series.

There's lots of cases in this film that are influenced by the current events going on in Japan at the time. For example, the whole point of Testsuo's Lady Alarm in Monster Zero is it was drawing attention to the violent murders and rape crimes in the Tokyo area during the early-to-mid 60s. The idea of aliens invading or ravaging our planet is in correlation with these events and the world is essentially saved by an electronic rape whistle. This goes even further when you consider the sexual symbolism that has been attributed to most space sci-fi.

The entire series is riddled with these kinds of touches.

I know, I just like things like Gojira and Shin Godzilla better

the way I see it, without the goofy Showa series beyond the 1954 original and Godzilla Raids Again, we wouldn't have gotten Ultra series or the Heisei Godzilla series and beyond. Even the MonsterVerse is heavily based on Showa Godzilla lore with Heisei Gamera mixed in for good measure

THANK YOU

I think gabara could be a good kaiju if used correctly actually.

Plus All Monsters Attack was just too childish for me. Plus it has Gabara

Every movie has some message, it’s just I don’t think that the messages of those movies are as relevant (at the time) or as deep as Gojira

Um, a destroy all monster film would have to be on the same level as Avengers endgame. So DAM would have to after much longer.

Also interesting note. Endgame and Infinity war were called very daring for bringing together so many characters. It was a good movie, but bringing money making characters together is not daring.

So DAM would probably require a lot of success from monsterverse

Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it's not there.

Opinion to me. Doesn’t seem to be as deep as the original. No offense intended. It’s just my opinion.

That doesn’t spoil the winner. In most of the clips, Kong is winning so it makes sense to Godzilla winning. Still up in the air.

#TeamKong

Well at least Legendary knows their audience.

SarcasticGoji,
How does King Kong vs. Godzilla, Mothra vs. Godzilla, Monster Zero, All Monsters Attack, Godzilla vs. Hedorah, Terror of MechaGodzilla and others lack meaning though?

For a second I thought he was the MonsterVerse incarnation  of a Dorat until I got a closer look at its head

I'm in agreeance with Gman, the Showa series was perfect the way it is.

@Gman

Yeah, Godzilla would have probably gone out of sales and much of the fan base would not exist

I would like that. Give a Godzilla movie meaning, and not just as a cash grab please.

I feel bad for the guys in the cars that Kong and Godzilla are playing with tho

Uuugh!
Both for not being first and for the book. Seriously, Why?

That would be super cool.  And that could be true if the 2017 monsterverse leak is true as it said Destroy All Monsters was going to happen after GvK

Looking forward!

OMG.  Well, gotta start them young!

A Godzilla 1954 remake in 2024 will be good for Godzilla's 70th anniversary. If this remake would be a succes they can remake the sequel Godzilla Raids Again. Also they can remake all showa Godzilla movies with a serious style like 1954 and 1955.

He look like he is from a Alien Movie. Not a Kaiju One

Godzilla would not be a good guy and it would not be geared to kids. So that mean Minilla, Gabara and other kid friendly Kaiju would not exist. 

It'd be a lot more boring. We'd also probably have gotten a lot fewer movies.

The Showa films are, by-and-large, fantastic as is.

Godzillisurdad1995,
No idea who Brandon Tenold is, but I've called it that on multiple occasions.

The 2014 design probably was the most boring out of all. My favorite would be the 2019 design. But to be honest, Godzilla: King Of The Monsters should probably be called  Fan Service: The Movie (If you watch Brandon Tenold, you would know where that joke is from)

it didnt spoil the winner, the shot of kong in the ground is followed up by kong opening his eyes and the light in both shots matches so kong is awakening again to keep fighting

I can tell you that. The GOZILLA ROOM does exsist. But prepare almost 60,000 yen per night. I wanted to book just like you but too expensive for me myprepaidcenter balance

Not the biggest fan of this trailer, but the new scenes are neat. I just wish we could get a real look at Mechagodzilla... er I mean Bad Godzilla! :P

Nope.  Kong's just napping.  :)

well it's seem that it spoilered who win, I'm happy to see that seem Godzilla win.

I also like Monster X/Keizer Ghidorah, not sure if he is underrated or not. Cretaceous Ghidorah is awesome too. I hope they bring in Bagan to a future godzilla movie, doesn't matter if its Toho or Legendary, just give us Bagan already!
