  1. Yeah, I hated that image of the leaked Godzilla toy a couple days ago, but my goodness does seeing this design in motion look killer. Possibly my favorite design ever, seeing im such a Godzilla 2000 fanboy and all. Mind blown, fired up, etc.

  2. Godzilla doesn’t even look like a monsterverse monster anymore, he looks more like a generic video game monster like League of Legends or Monster Hunter Monster. They’ve strayed way too far from the creature design philosophy that was there from the beginning. Even if you accept it, it does take away this Godzilla’s original characterization of being an old veteran or sorts that still has fight in him. Now he really is Just big lizard do cool thing.

  3. No thanks. Think I'll pass on this one. It looks really stupid.

    I really don't like the direction that they are taking this "Monsterverse" if this is the case.

    And I just watched a Godzilla movie that was actually good. (Godzilla Minus One).

  4. I think Kong having some more grey fur in this movie has less to do with him getting older and more to do with him just reaching his final stage maturity if you will, his appearance gives me Silverback Gorilla vibes more than ever, and since Silverbacks are traditionally the leader of a larger group of apes, this implies that he will be taking over Scar King’s Clan by the end of the movie.

  5. I'm honestly mixed about this; I have been since The New Empire was announced, and even more so when the villain was revealed (not a fan of the new villain being a giant monkey).
    Part of me squealed with absolute delight seeing Godzilla's new design and him charging into battle by Kong's side, and it does look like there's a lot more going on than just the new monkey villain. At the same time, though, I can't bring myself to get excited like I did for the 2014 film and King of the Monsters. Maybe I'm not in the mood for the Monsterverse right now, or I wish we got a few more serious entries before going full-blown late Showa era, I dunno.

  6. I’m not going to lie after seeing the trailer I’m a little hyped for this movie. Although I still don’t think it’s going to top Minus One since that movie is a masterpiece. However I don’t want to compare and contrast.

    Although I don’t want to overhype this movie. Now there are things that I do like for instance I kind of like Godzilla’s new design since it does remind me of Miregoji’s look which is my favorite design. Kong looks about the same but with slightly grey hair. That gauntlet looks kind of cool. Skar King looks creepy yet at the same time generic.

    Now I’m proceeding this film with caution since I do have my issues with the Monsterverse as a whole. I don’t expect this movie to be high quality but rather a fun spectacle fatigue type of film. I’m still going to see it regardless and have fun. But as soon as the hype dies down it will become divisive among the community. Also that scene where Godzilla and Kong are running together looks both cool and funny 😄.

  7. Gamera is the only thing the monsterverse is missing right now for it to be perfect, I haven't watched Minus one yet (no available in the cinema here) I can only wait for the future monsterverse movies

  8. Im looking forward to it, Godzilla can do no wrong in my eyes tbh. Wether he's a hero, a villain, or a force of nature I'll always turn up for him lol. Even the worst of his movies are still entertaining in some regard.

  9. I bet this trailer wasn't supposed to drop for at least another month but someone at Warner noticed the positive response to Godzilla Minus One and said 'Let's remind everybody that we have our own Godzilla movie releasing next year!' That's why the cgi looks unfinished.
