Your biggest worry for G-2014?

Although this is one of my most highly anticipated movies in a long time, is there anything about the Godzilla 2014 you fear could disappoint? For me it would likely be the tone. Too many films tease or advertise themselves as one thing and end up something else. (i.e. Man of Steel, looked like quite a somber yet potentially powerful film when I first saw the teaser...it wasn't. I enjoyed it but it was not what it initially advertised itself as.) My point is the same could be said for Godzilla. The trailer was dark, moody and quite serious. That's what I want for this film, the tone and look in the trailer. If I want fun I'll watch Pacific Rim. I know there's a theme for darker movies these days but for this film is something I want. I want it to be gritty, catastrophic and almost scary. Make the dark allegory that was the basis for the creature have sway. What I'm worried is while the trailer did that just right, might the film divert and try too hard to look cool (again, like Man of Steel)? That's my worry, or is everyone definitively positive and I'm just being a pessimist? (cant blame me concerning Hollywood and movies in this day and age though haha)

Um, did you ever watch Godzilla 84? Or Godzilla vs Destroyer where Godzilla fucking DIES? Seemed pretty dark and serious to me. But I think I get it now, you just don't like the fact that all the space travel mystic bollocks can't be crammed in there which sounds rather hypocritical of you considering you dislike Mothra. A Godzilla film does not need to be mired in the unreal. And yes, I wouldn''t have given two shits if the time travelling aspect of Godzilla vs King Ghidorah would have been omitted since that was a pretty hackneyed and confusing plot device anyway.

Yes because the flying laser shooting craft in 1985 wasn't Bmovie reminiscent,. How about the soldiers fighting aggregate destroyahs, or how Godzilla junior is still not aggressive towards humans. Love how you point out the heisei and I show you how the vast majority have b movie aspects you try to defend with the 2 you believe don't as though those 2 movies are the only reason the heisei series is loved. Once again I have no problem with a dark realistic tone as long as it has a degree of fun and b movie aspects. Me disliking mothra has nothing to do with this but since you brought it up I'll clarify from a character standpoint mothra is fine, but stripping the mysticism away from her puts her on the same level as kamacuras and kumonga as just a stupid giant bugs. My problem with mothra lies in the fact she can't lose according to toho. Just to show you a little fact, King kong vs Godzilla either sold more tickets or made more money than any other godzilla movie, Mothra vs Godzilla(showa) is often praised by fans and critics as 1 of the best entries in the series, and The hackneyed confusing plot(according to you of course) of Godzilla vs King Ghidorah brought the heisei back after Godzilla vs Biollante didn't do as well as expected and is the reason The the 2 following sequels to it also brought back his most known foes. What do all those Godzillas have in common, despite the praise and good box office they've gotten? Well they're all extremely campy or B movie like. So yes the next movie should have fun aspects, it should have campy scenes and it should try not to to be so engrossed in the realism it's trying to pass off that it forgets this is about a Giant firebreathing dinosaur that have gotten through 60 years of being essentailly the star of glorified b movies. Did i demand a campy, child catering, space movie? No, just that you really inspect the content you're using to see how realistic and dark you can take it before falling back to what it has been for most of it's career.
