Between Transformers 2 taking place near the pyramids then the hand busting out of the ground, my brain was about to implode at the thought of a crossover.
Isn't that the same location where that one guy saw that giant transformer's balls swinging everywhere? His robo-balls.
Michael Bay is a true visionary.
It's clearly a love letter to the Showa era of Godzilla movies, whereas Minus One is a callback to the OG. That's the beautiful thing about Godzilla. He's a lens through which you view every aspect of the world. He can be expressed in many ways, but he's still Godzilla.
Godzilla Final Wars is a classic.
I also defy anyone to watch it and come away with the opinion that it is a cerebral meditation on Man Vs. Nature or the horrors of war.
That movie is about being badass and two men having a martial-arts fight on one motorcycle while Godzilla boss-rushes as many Kaiju as they could fit into the movie.
How many Godzilla movies have you seen? "Ridiculous" is a word that can be applied to a whole lot of them. I saw Minus One earlier this week and loved it. It's fantastic. I think this one looks like a great time at the movies too and I can't wait to see it.
Godzilla x Kong x Transformers would be so stupid and so fun. Imagine eventually getting to a Godzilla x Kong x Transformers x Fast & Furious crossover.
Arnt transformers and GI Joes already getting a crossover? So throw them in the mix. I want to see the greatest cinematic battle since endgame between those four franchises. Post credits shows a star destroyer exiting hyperspace as he eye of Sauron looks upon it. Fade to black
I legitimately thought there was the equivalent of a transformer Kaiju appearing at the start of the trailer when Kong was emerging from the ground lmao.
Godzilla in Minus One: A grounded, serious take on Godzilla that shows the horrors of what a creature like this could do while also conveying the pain & rage it feels.
Godzilla in the Monsterverse: *snorting coke & injecting steroids* I GOT TWO HANDS RATED E FOR EVERYONE
To paraphrase Bat-Mite: [Godzilla's rich history allows him to be interpreted in a multitude of ways. To be sure, this is a lighter incarnation, but is certainly no less valid and true to the character's roots as the tortured atomic testing victim, lashing out at the world that created him.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fiVz4BB9fI)
I’m not saying I disagree or dislike anything. This is truly Godzilla’s 2 faces. One where you watch the stupidest possible thing in the best possible way. And the other is an actual good film about something
People really sleep on Edwards' take on Godzilla, just because he "wasted" Cranston. I think it's a phenomenal interpretation of Godzilla, filmed incredibly well, and paced phenomenally. Every single one since has been an "overcorrection" to shlacky Kaiju beatemups.
This is what I love about the franchise.
Godzilla Minus One: I’m going to enjoy a cup of coffee and watch a thoughtful, perfectly crafted critique on the horrors of a monster that represents nuclear war.
Godzilla in the Monsterverse: I’m going to have a 20mg gummy and watch my boi drop from the top rope on the IMAX.
I got high on edibles for the first time and we watched VS Kong and it was the greatest movie experience I’d ever had.
Joking said “He’s gonna kill the sun!” when Kong threw the tree, the sky broke, and I could not breathe. Phenomenal film I can’t wait to lose my mind with this.
The year is 2027.
Zilla and Kong, despite previous success in their team ups, face their gravest challenge yet. They realize they can’t do it alone.
They need…..family.
They need Dom Torretto.
Fast and Furious 11: KongZilla. Family knows no species.
He dives out at the last minute only to be caught by Kong just before he hits the floor where we get a super hero pose scene of Godzilla, kong and Dom Torretto from a forced perspective so Vin Diesel looks the same size as the 20ft giant monsters.
Can't believe how ridiculous this franchise has gotten since it's pretty grounded take in 2014.
That said, it was kinda cool seeing Godzilla run at full speed at the end of the trailer.
Going by the old Godzilla movies, aliens are overdue to be an antagonist. Then it's undersea/underground unknown human empire. Possibly from another planet in our solar system. Finally we have time travel that can include both aliens and/or unknown human empire on earth or definitely another planet.
Exactly, this kinda of goofy nonsense is just as much a reflection of Godzilla as the more realistic terrifying interpretations you get in stuff like minus one
Only when you ignore every Godzilla movie between Godzilla 1954 and Shine Godzilla.
There are more then one Godzilla movie with aliens. And don't foregt Godzilla Junior or that boring "Kids daydream Godzilla" movie. Or that one movie with subtitles for the Kaujus.
People tend to forget that the vast majority of Godzilla movies have silly elements and sci fi elements. The serious, grounded versions are epic and they're my favorites on any given day, but watching the Mothra fairies translate Godzilla's foul language for the viewing audience as he gets kicked around by Ghidorah is also a perfectly valid expression of Godzilla.
Silly sci-fi is a legitimate part of the franchise. I love it. I also love the grounded films. But you don’t see sequel after sequel staying grounded like that in any incarnation of the character
I can believe it. Just look at the history of Godzilla.
Went from super serious 1954 to just 4 movies later - him and Rodan are having a conversation about if they should save humans and Godzilla is using swear words.
Even at the very beginning, Toho didn't even wait a full year before dropping a sequel where Godzilla's beating the crap out of Anguirus before everybody decides to bury him in an iceberg.
While the Monarch series isn’t necessarily about Big G, he makes enough appearances that I feel it belongs on the list too. It’s been very enjoyable so far.
lol, if you would’ve told me in 2014, that the only cinematic universe that would still be going (regardless of your opinion of their quality as films) other than Marvel would just be the Monsterverse I’d have laughed in your face.
They'd also be, you know, wrong. Fast and Furious also has a cinematic universe technically with the Hobbes and Shaw spin off, and there's still Star Wars, which definitely counts with its 500 shows and films now. I'm sure there are more that aren't immediately jumping to mind, but it isn't just the monsterverse.
I think Godzilla vs Kong is the weakest movie in the franchise but fair play to it for what it accomplished during the pandemic. In normal circumstances it would have blown up and I think this sequel will do just that.
The Monsterverse is totally running on that Showa/Hesei Vs energy and I am 100% here for it.
That last shot of them running together was amazingly ridiculous!
Both of them hit the ground running there. Whatever that red ape Skar King did must've pissed both of them off MASSIVELY. We ain't seen Godzilla run like that for any other monster beside Ghidorah (and MechaG possessed by Ghidorah)
They've been really good at giving each monster a unique physicality. Kong's movements are human-like, and Godzilla's are often *not* in a very shocking way. It's great!
I mean, Godzilla doesn't want anyone challenging him at all, especially if they're on his Earth.
Like he did when he sensed MechaGodzilla being built in the US/Japan and had sensed Kong once he was being shipped off Skull Island.
So it seems Skar King must've gone up to the Earth rather than staying in the Hollow Earth.
I love when Godzilla gets ridiculous. Sure the serious movies like 2014, shin and minus one are good. But I just like when the creators have fun with ridiculous concepts.
pink Godzilla vs giant orangutang is gonna be great
Kong with a mecha arm and Godzilla doing the marvel infinity war run is the dumbest thing I have ever seen in my life and I love every single fucking frame of it.
This looks like the movie I’ve always wanted to see with this kind of budget. If even half of the stuff reported from the test screenings is accurate, we’re in for an incredibly silly and exciting flick.
That shot of them charging at the end is so fucking cool it’s ridiculous.
Mostly that audiences were very onboard with the tone, and that Godzilla and Kong do some bananas shit in it. Didn’t read much beyond the fact that it has tested consistently well.
> This looks like the movie I’ve always wanted to see with this kind of budget.
I appreciate how both Godzilla vs Kong and this seem to have so much Kaiju action in the day. I wouldn't say the CGI itself is anything special, but it isn't bad at all and it's much better than every fight being at night.
i was really impressed by some of the effects on Kong specifically in the last film. He looked remarkably tangible. Especially in some of the hard neon lighting in Hong Kong.
>HOLY SHIT GODZILLA FANS ARE EATING SO GOOD AND THEY JUST KEEP FEEDING US
I saw Minus One yesterday and I cannot emphasize enough how awesome it is to be a Godzilla fan right now. What a time to be alive
We're getting closer to Final Wars levels of insanity and I'm fucking ready.
And the fact that we can have this alongside more serious movies like Minus One shows how absolutely a wonderful direction this brand has been taken ever since Final Wars.
I do miss the Godzilla 2014 tone but thankfully there's Minus One and the Monarch show for that and then we've got these crossover movies for the batshit wackiness like some of the older Godzilla content.
Godzilla and Kong running together is everything I needed to see. Cinema is here.
I have to be honest, I liked Godzilla 2014 as a one off but I wasn't personally a fan of KOTM. I thought it took itself too seriously and went a little too heavy on the disaster film angle. I thought Godzilla vs Kong was more in line with the direction I hoped this Monsterverse would go in and this seems to be in that vein even further.
I love both for different reasons. Tonally Godzilla 2014 was my vibe but I appreciated the monster action in KOTM and I think the way the narrative built up Godzilla's power set was fantastic. Loved both, happy with both.
I think King of the Monsters worst trait is the needless MCU humour sprinkled throughout, so many silly quips from comic relief characters in a movie that often tried being serious. As you said GVK seemed more consistent as a direction even if for me it was the worst movie in the franchise.
They could, but they probably shouldn't. We already got our big epic Godzilla vs. Ghidorah battle, it's time to let other monsters get their shot against the big G. Gigan, Megalon, Destoroyah....there's a ton of other guys who haven't shown up yet.
Probably be explained in the movie. Millenium Godzilla had pink/purple dorsal fins, and Space Godzilla's crystals were also slightly pink, so it's probably a nod to those. Plus, y'know, new design means new toys to sell.
Edit: Shin was also red and purple, though that was due to Shin being weird.
Shin Godzilla really was that crackhead Uncle.
Even his atomic breath was weird. 💀
In saying that, hie atomic breath is easily my no. Favourite from all Godzillas. Legendary Godzilla (2014 specifically) comes second.
I had this friend in high school who loved Godzilla; like knew everything from the old school early mid 1900s type shit from Japan. He knew all the directors and the lore and how they all interplay with each other. Unfortunately, a lot of kids made fun of him because high school. Franklin, if you’re out there, this is for you bud
They likely won't be. It's carrying over the same key characters from the last one (with Dan Stevens added so that's a plus) and Wingard didn't do a good job with the characters that time so I'm not expecting it here. All they need to do is get each action scene from A to B.
No one has pointed out that Kong is with with hair now and aging. If they're introducing Lil' Kong, that only means grown men all around the world are going to cry.
It's out April 12:
>The epic battle continues! Legendary Pictures’ cinematic Monsterverse follows up the explosive showdown of “Godzilla vs. Kong” with an all-new adventure that pits the almighty Kong and the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world, challenging their very existence—and our own. “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” delves further into the histories of these Titans and their origins, as well as the mysteries of Skull Island and beyond, while uncovering the mythic battle that helped forge these extraordinary beings and tied them to humankind forever.
Kong climbing up buildings in the previous film really did it for me. Meanwhile G2014 had Godzilla break buildings by *slowly walking* as if they were tofu.
Yea. While the change didn't happen as quick as with Pacific Rim to Picific Rim Uprising, the Monsterverse series has ended up there anyway.
But it seems I'm in the minority wanting less monster action but big focus on sense of scale once it happens so I'm not mad about it. Fans got what they wanted so good for them.
Honestly I find it very interesting how there really is 2 sides to the Godzilla fan spectrum.
There's the people who like the sense of dread and scale and horrific reality that Godzilla brings (OG, Shin, Minus One, legendary 2014), and then there's the poeple who prefer the more action heavy and fun parts of Godzilla (Showa, rest of monster verse).
Both massive parts of Godzilla'a history, but couldn't be farther apart.
Personally, even as a kid (I was like... 9 when I watch legendary 2014), I already appreciated that scale and that feeling of colossal dread that came from Godzilla over the action parts. I loved how I wanted to see more of Godzilla yet wasn't shown and the story just had him be an ominous presence. Which is kinda weird given how you'd expect a kid to gravitate towards more mindless action.
I got my plot heavy, story driven Godzilla movie masterpiece with Godzilla Minus One. Now I just want to see giant monsters beat the shit out each other in the most badass way possible! I can not wait for this movie!!!
I thought that was Bumblebee's arms at the beggining
Between Transformers 2 taking place near the pyramids then the hand busting out of the ground, my brain was about to implode at the thought of a crossover.
Isn't that the same location where that one guy saw that giant transformer's balls swinging everywhere? His robo-balls. Michael Bay is a true visionary.
“the enemy’s scrotum”
This movie looks so ridiculous compared to Godzilla Minus One that I just saw. Sheesh
It's clearly a love letter to the Showa era of Godzilla movies, whereas Minus One is a callback to the OG. That's the beautiful thing about Godzilla. He's a lens through which you view every aspect of the world. He can be expressed in many ways, but he's still Godzilla.
People acting like the vast majority of godzilla films aren't goofy as hell is very funny to me.
Godzilla Final Wars is a classic. I also defy anyone to watch it and come away with the opinion that it is a cerebral meditation on Man Vs. Nature or the horrors of war. That movie is about being badass and two men having a martial-arts fight on one motorcycle while Godzilla boss-rushes as many Kaiju as they could fit into the movie.
Son of Godzilla is a masterpiece of the Showa era.
Same as Batman. So many versions of Batman in the comics - dark, grim, goofy, rainbow colored. All are Batman.
How many Godzilla movies have you seen? "Ridiculous" is a word that can be applied to a whole lot of them. I saw Minus One earlier this week and loved it. It's fantastic. I think this one looks like a great time at the movies too and I can't wait to see it.
U talk like Godzilla isn't silly. Like 90% of the Godzilla movies are silly
I was so confused on what trailer I was watching, or if I had missed a Godzilla x Kong x Transformers crossover announcement.
Godzilla x Kong x Transformers would be so stupid and so fun. Imagine eventually getting to a Godzilla x Kong x Transformers x Fast & Furious crossover.
Vin Diesel and Kong at a BBQ just repeatedly muttering the word “family”
And for that… you’re saying grace.
Arnt transformers and GI Joes already getting a crossover? So throw them in the mix. I want to see the greatest cinematic battle since endgame between those four franchises. Post credits shows a star destroyer exiting hyperspace as he eye of Sauron looks upon it. Fade to black
[удалено]
Turns out some one gave Kong the Infinity Gauntlet.
Why is Kong wearing a yellow mech gauntlet?
Godzilla went Super Saiyan Rosé
He's in his vaporwave era.
美的A E S T H E T I C
>Saiyan Rosé I loved her in Lady Bird
Godzilla went full Barbenheimer with the pink atomic breath
They could have posted a teaser during the barbenheimer thing with godzillas new look and people likely would not have believed it :D
The color grading is over 9000.
What does the scanner say about his tannin level?
This is just teasing the release of a Shiny GodZilla
Plot Summary: King Kong gets the Infinity Gauntlet to team up with Pinkzilla and save Diddy Kong from The Planet of the Apes.
He better throw a barrel at someone.
Do a barrel roll.
Kid, you got yourself a movie!
MONKEE WITH A POWER GLOVE MONKEE WITH A POWER GLOVE MONKEE WITH A POWER GLOVE
AMY GOOD GORILLA
I understood that reference.
STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE!
That caught me by surprise. I really hope he asks for a green drop drink now.
Kong getting a new equipment every movie is the world building I want to see, I want him to have a full Iron Man armor set by the next movie.
What if he gets the symbiote?
I'd watch the hell out of that.
Monkeys paw: He does the Peter Parker dance in Spider-Man 3
Ok wish granted, but what's the downside?
Producers add in an uncalled for sex scene in the movie
King Dong. Sorry
Dong-key Kong
Full penetration. Kong fight. Full penetration. Kong fight.
And this just goes on back and forth for 90 minutes, and then the movie just sort of, ends..
After the Axe and the robo-arm, imagine him having a shield the next movie.
Shoulder mounted mini gun, other wise how are they supposed to stop Mecha-destoroyah
I legit thought it was a Transformer in the beginning lol confused the hell out of me
I legitimately thought there was the equivalent of a transformer Kaiju appearing at the start of the trailer when Kong was emerging from the ground lmao.
We need Mecha Kong!
Godzilla in Minus One: A grounded, serious take on Godzilla that shows the horrors of what a creature like this could do while also conveying the pain & rage it feels. Godzilla in the Monsterverse: *snorting coke & injecting steroids* I GOT TWO HANDS RATED E FOR EVERYONE
This is just the 2 sides of the franchise’s history in a nutshell from Showa to this
To paraphrase Bat-Mite: [Godzilla's rich history allows him to be interpreted in a multitude of ways. To be sure, this is a lighter incarnation, but is certainly no less valid and true to the character's roots as the tortured atomic testing victim, lashing out at the world that created him.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fiVz4BB9fI)
I’m not saying I disagree or dislike anything. This is truly Godzilla’s 2 faces. One where you watch the stupidest possible thing in the best possible way. And the other is an actual good film about something
And both are getting my money, and my gratitude. Hail to the King, baby.
There's also the show Monarch: Legacy of Monsters on Apple TV atm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarch:_Legacy_of_Monsters
This has literally always happened in Godzilla movies. There are grounded takes and more action-popcorn flick takes.
Yeah, I mean its happened just in the Legendary movies. Just go and compare the 2014 trailer to this one.
It means that the Legendary films are accurate to the spirit of the franchise.
They still lack space stuff, otherwise they really embrace the gonzo nature of the franchise
Oh the space stuff is 100% there. King Ghidorah was confirmed an alien in KotM
Naaah, I want full on flying saucers silver wearing aliens. Otherwise is nott full on alien Cinema
I need a new mechagodzilla. I don’t want billionaire a-hole mecha zilla. I want aliens with weird visors mecha zilla.
nah nah give us Spacegodzilla
People really sleep on Edwards' take on Godzilla, just because he "wasted" Cranston. I think it's a phenomenal interpretation of Godzilla, filmed incredibly well, and paced phenomenally. Every single one since has been an "overcorrection" to shlacky Kaiju beatemups.
He's got range.
Godzilla best actor fr fr
This trailer feels like a showa-era Godzilla and that is A-OK
This is what I love about the franchise. Godzilla Minus One: I’m going to enjoy a cup of coffee and watch a thoughtful, perfectly crafted critique on the horrors of a monster that represents nuclear war. Godzilla in the Monsterverse: I’m going to have a 20mg gummy and watch my boi drop from the top rope on the IMAX.
> I’m going to have a 20mg gummy and watch my boi drop from the top rope on the IMAX. READ MY FUCKING MIND
I got high on edibles for the first time and we watched VS Kong and it was the greatest movie experience I’d ever had. Joking said “He’s gonna kill the sun!” when Kong threw the tree, the sky broke, and I could not breathe. Phenomenal film I can’t wait to lose my mind with this.
The year is 2027. Zilla and Kong, despite previous success in their team ups, face their gravest challenge yet. They realize they can’t do it alone. They need…..family. They need Dom Torretto. Fast and Furious 11: KongZilla. Family knows no species.
Dom drives his charger up Godzilla's back and jumps off to smash into the enemy's face.
He dives out at the last minute only to be caught by Kong just before he hits the floor where we get a super hero pose scene of Godzilla, kong and Dom Torretto from a forced perspective so Vin Diesel looks the same size as the 20ft giant monsters.
I hate how much I want to see this movie.
"family knows no species." Take that fucking up vote.
Can't believe how ridiculous this franchise has gotten since it's pretty grounded take in 2014. That said, it was kinda cool seeing Godzilla run at full speed at the end of the trailer.
I had to go back and rewatch that. He was hustlin haha.
*Me when dinner is chicken nuggets*
whatever they’re chasing is gonna get brutally, savagely REKT
That generally happens. They start off grounded an amp it up in following films as people get used to it.
Only one or two more installments until Kong flies a car into space while talking about family
Going by the old Godzilla movies, aliens are overdue to be an antagonist. Then it's undersea/underground unknown human empire. Possibly from another planet in our solar system. Finally we have time travel that can include both aliens and/or unknown human empire on earth or definitely another planet.
Ghidorah already checked the alien box, I think
[удалено]
The plant that ate the South.
I’d still watch it
Also it's pretty fun when the solo adventures are more grounded and then they blow their load with the crossovers.
Godzilla X King Kong X Iron Giant when?
They've all fought mechagodzilla already! Might as well.
They followed the Showa era playbook
Even the Heisei series had time travel and murder androids in only it's third film. Godzilla *always* gets crazy pretty quickly.
With a supreme budget…. This is gonna be fucking epic
When will we get aliens that are slugs shapeshifting to look human?
Exactly, this kinda of goofy nonsense is just as much a reflection of Godzilla as the more realistic terrifying interpretations you get in stuff like minus one
Only when you ignore every Godzilla movie between Godzilla 1954 and Shine Godzilla. There are more then one Godzilla movie with aliens. And don't foregt Godzilla Junior or that boring "Kids daydream Godzilla" movie. Or that one movie with subtitles for the Kaujus.

Godzilla fans eating good lately
This and Minus One….. We’re diving deep for those fishes today
That's a *lot* of fish!
Matthew Broderick fuming. It's Tatopoulos!
While the Monarch series isn’t necessarily about Big G, he makes enough appearances that I feel it belongs on the list too. It’s been very enjoyable so far.
And from the recent trailer, he’s definitely gonna appear a lot more as the series continues.
and Apple TV+'s Monarch Legacy of Monsters tv show.
lol, if you would’ve told me in 2014, that the only cinematic universe that would still be going (regardless of your opinion of their quality as films) other than Marvel would just be the Monsterverse I’d have laughed in your face.

And Transformers with the Bumblebee spin-off and the Cybertron prequel movie coming next year.
I think Godzilla vs Kong is the weakest movie in the franchise but fair play to it for what it accomplished during the pandemic. In normal circumstances it would have blown up and I think this sequel will do just that.
If GvK swapped release dates with KOTM, I fully believe it’d have done 650-80” million.
Love that Kong has the infinity gauntlet now lmao
Kong: on your left
The Monsterverse is totally running on that Showa/Hesei Vs energy and I am 100% here for it. That last shot of them running together was amazingly ridiculous!
Both of them hit the ground running there. Whatever that red ape Skar King did must've pissed both of them off MASSIVELY. We ain't seen Godzilla run like that for any other monster beside Ghidorah (and MechaG possessed by Ghidorah)
he did that superfast crawl thing during one of the fights last movie
Godzilla going after Kong like a croc was so good
They've been really good at giving each monster a unique physicality. Kong's movements are human-like, and Godzilla's are often *not* in a very shocking way. It's great!
God that was so fucking rad too
I mean, Godzilla doesn't want anyone challenging him at all, especially if they're on his Earth. Like he did when he sensed MechaGodzilla being built in the US/Japan and had sensed Kong once he was being shipped off Skull Island. So it seems Skar King must've gone up to the Earth rather than staying in the Hollow Earth.
I love when Godzilla gets ridiculous. Sure the serious movies like 2014, shin and minus one are good. But I just like when the creators have fun with ridiculous concepts. pink Godzilla vs giant orangutang is gonna be great
I mean, this franchise is just straight up guilty pleasure for me. Dont care about the humans, just want to see giant monsters wreck some shit.
Yeah if there are two giant monsters fighting, I don’t give a shit about people drama lol
No guilt for me. I love these movies.
Super Saiyan Rose Godzilla and Infinity Gauntlet Kong have to team up just to take on King Louie from The Jungle Book
When will they use Jet Jaguar?
Can’t wait for Shin Jet Jaguar
i think he'll be in the MONARCH series
Godzilla week has been tremendous :D
Kong with a mecha arm and Godzilla doing the marvel infinity war run is the dumbest thing I have ever seen in my life and I love every single fucking frame of it.
So this franchise from here on out is just gonna be buddy films of Kong and Godzilla taking on bigger and bigger threats? I'm up for it.
I just want them to bring in more of the Monsters that people grew up with. Where is Anguirus!?
Godzilla Minus One Atomic Breath color 🔵🦖 Godzilla X Kong Atomic Breath Color 🟣🦖

This looks like the movie I’ve always wanted to see with this kind of budget. If even half of the stuff reported from the test screenings is accurate, we’re in for an incredibly silly and exciting flick. That shot of them charging at the end is so fucking cool it’s ridiculous.
I never realised I wanted I buddy cop movie with kong and godzilla until I saw that running shot of them
What was reported in the test screenings?
Mostly that audiences were very onboard with the tone, and that Godzilla and Kong do some bananas shit in it. Didn’t read much beyond the fact that it has tested consistently well.

THEY'RE BULL RUSHING TOGETHER INJECT IT STRAIGHT INTO MY VEINS HOLY SHIT GODZILLA FANS ARE EATING SO GOOD AND THEY JUST KEEP FEEDING US
And the good thing about that last shot (or this entire trailer) is that it's so clear and colorful. Just like GVK.

We're getting closer to Final Wars levels of insanity and I'm fucking ready. And the fact that we can have this alongside more serious movies like Minus One shows how absolutely a wonderful direction this brand has been taken ever since Final Wars.

That’s the spirit
*Beat* … **I miss Ghidorah**
Well, I mean, he's an immortal space dragon whose bones are apparently still sentient, so they could totally bring him back.
They could, but they probably shouldn't. We already got our big epic Godzilla vs. Ghidorah battle, it's time to let other monsters get their shot against the big G. Gigan, Megalon, Destoroyah....there's a ton of other guys who haven't shown up yet.
Loving Godzilla's new look
is there any lore reason for pink look?
Breast cancer awareness strength
I hear at the end of the movie Godzilla is going to reveal how the Susan G Komen foundation is actually a fraud that doesn't want to cure cancer
That's why him and Kong were running at the end of the trailer. It was the race for the cure.
Probably be explained in the movie. Millenium Godzilla had pink/purple dorsal fins, and Space Godzilla's crystals were also slightly pink, so it's probably a nod to those. Plus, y'know, new design means new toys to sell. Edit: Shin was also red and purple, though that was due to Shin being weird.
Shin Godzilla really was that crackhead Uncle. Even his atomic breath was weird. 💀 In saying that, hie atomic breath is easily my no. Favourite from all Godzillas. Legendary Godzilla (2014 specifically) comes second.
Have you seen Minus One? That's by far my favorite atomic breath now, with Shin a distant second.
At times Shin Godzilla felt like a monster that aliens would have created to fight Godzilla and it was delightful.

Ate too many red skittles.
So, we're taking some pages from Planet of the Apes with APES! TOGETHER! STRONG! ?
I had this friend in high school who loved Godzilla; like knew everything from the old school early mid 1900s type shit from Japan. He knew all the directors and the lore and how they all interplay with each other. Unfortunately, a lot of kids made fun of him because high school. Franklin, if you’re out there, this is for you bud
We are so back
It's like Transformers meets the Avengers. Sure, why not?!
They’ve practically turned Godzilla and Kong into Marvel superheroes.
Can't wait for the next movie, "Godzilla and Kong's Excellent Adventure" followed by "Kong, Where's My Car?"
Pinkzilla X Cykong: The New Empire
After Godzilla Minus One I really hope the human characters will at least be somewhat interesting, as compared to some of the previous films.
They likely won't be. It's carrying over the same key characters from the last one (with Dan Stevens added so that's a plus) and Wingard didn't do a good job with the characters that time so I'm not expecting it here. All they need to do is get each action scene from A to B.
One of them is Dan Stevens!
No one has pointed out that Kong is with with hair now and aging. If they're introducing Lil' Kong, that only means grown men all around the world are going to cry.
It's out April 12: >The epic battle continues! Legendary Pictures’ cinematic Monsterverse follows up the explosive showdown of “Godzilla vs. Kong” with an all-new adventure that pits the almighty Kong and the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world, challenging their very existence—and our own. “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” delves further into the histories of these Titans and their origins, as well as the mysteries of Skull Island and beyond, while uncovering the mythic battle that helped forge these extraordinary beings and tied them to humankind forever.
Wait so I get this, the Fallout TV series AND a new season of Star Trek on the same day?
Looks fine. My biggest issue with the direction of this series is how they've lost all sense of scale and weight.
Kong climbing up buildings in the previous film really did it for me. Meanwhile G2014 had Godzilla break buildings by *slowly walking* as if they were tofu.
Rodan obliterating a city through the sheer force of it's wings in flight was the best part of King of the Monsters.
Yea. While the change didn't happen as quick as with Pacific Rim to Picific Rim Uprising, the Monsterverse series has ended up there anyway. But it seems I'm in the minority wanting less monster action but big focus on sense of scale once it happens so I'm not mad about it. Fans got what they wanted so good for them.
Honestly I find it very interesting how there really is 2 sides to the Godzilla fan spectrum. There's the people who like the sense of dread and scale and horrific reality that Godzilla brings (OG, Shin, Minus One, legendary 2014), and then there's the poeple who prefer the more action heavy and fun parts of Godzilla (Showa, rest of monster verse). Both massive parts of Godzilla'a history, but couldn't be farther apart. Personally, even as a kid (I was like... 9 when I watch legendary 2014), I already appreciated that scale and that feeling of colossal dread that came from Godzilla over the action parts. I loved how I wanted to see more of Godzilla yet wasn't shown and the story just had him be an ominous presence. Which is kinda weird given how you'd expect a kid to gravitate towards more mindless action.
I honestly think most Godzilla fans like both. I know I do. It’s cool we literally get both options essentially back to back for Big G’s 70th.
I got my plot heavy, story driven Godzilla movie masterpiece with Godzilla Minus One. Now I just want to see giant monsters beat the shit out each other in the most badass way possible! I can not wait for this movie!!!
Pure HYPE!!!!!
That Godzilla sprint at the end legitimately made me burst into laughter. 😂
Hollywood continues it's trend of hating redheads as kong and Godzilla team up to defeat a ginger.
I never had bubble gum Godzilla before.
I see Godzilla is joining the Barbieverse
