and what I like is that the Monsterverse never goes full Godzilla vs Megalon with his character
he never goes FUUUULL full into that superhero shit
it feels like a really neat return to form for the series if you ask me
even in the sense that it started with a more grim, serious first film
2014
and gradually transitioned into something more kid friendly and fun
I mean it's not like 2014 was even remotely as gripping or terrifying as '54
but still
so yeah while I do want more serious content and generally prefer that
the MV is very healthy for the series imo
if the movie is making me laugh this hard
and giving me this much fun
I don't mind having to wait for another Godzilla horror
LIKE
WHEN IM WATCHING A KAIJU MOVIE WHERE
AND
ARE ACTUAL SCENES IN THE MOVIE
I'm not complaining
it's so fun that idm knowing I won't get another Minus One or Shin for a while
y'know my biggest question now is just
where does the monsterverse really go from here
if there's any news I'm missing please inform me but
where now?
I think a problem I have with the MV so far is that it really doesn't feel like a "universe" much
it's one of the few things I can credit the MCU for doing properly
every character feels like they have their own bubble within the larger universe
their own space
which is very close to how the comics do it
and said comics benefit immensely from it
so that's good
but the Monsterverse especially now just kinda feels like
Godzilla and Kong
technically separate but involved in each other's shit
there's Mothra but she isn't her own character as she was in the Showa Era
she's just kind of
here
as a side character
and Rodan's even worse
and that's a problem because
Kong's journey can only go on so long before it gets stale
and Godzilla's been in limbo since KOTM
character wise
so
what now
I can see Kong's journey continuing but I'd like to see the universe branch out more and feel more like a UNIVERSE
give Mothra her own film
actually treat her as her own character like she used to be treated
even give Rodan one if you really give a shit enough
give us NEW big Kaiju to get attached to
idm if they make OCs for that who cares
Scar King is a decent start
imo
what would really step the Monsterverse to the next level is fully taking advantage of ALIENSSSSS
the Godzilla franchise has used aliens since well
forever
alien invasions are a pretty big staple of the series
UHM BUT ITD BE TOO SILLY!!!!!!
š
they really shot themselves in the foot killing off Ghidorah that early
I could 100% see a movie with a fucking
alien invasion plotline
where Godzilla has to go against UFOs
again if it sounds silly
watch Godzilla movies
it's not really THAT big of a stretch and the MV is already silly enough so I say go all in
BRING BACK THE NEBULANS
they invade Earth and bring an old foe with them...
it also gives the Monsterverse an opportunity to have Kaiju that aren't from hollow earth OR the surface
I'm pretty sure Ghidorah was established to be an alien in KOTM
(correct me if I'm wrong)
so this could be a chance to expand on that
BRING IN ALIENS
alien invasions
save the earth shit
I want to see ALIENS
UFOs
AND THEN
gigan gets an upgrade...
KONG'S GOT THE GAUNTLET
it's not that big of a stretch...
I think it'd be a good step for the Monsterverse
REALLY spice things up
bring in aliens
INVASIONS
GIGAN!!!!!!!!
I'd also say don't bring in Kong for such a movie
make this a purely Godzilla-centered one
not to sideline Kong
but just to make it clear they exist separately
just within the same universe
BRING IN ALIENS
BRING IN GIGAN!!!!!!!!!!
go full showa
no holding back
EMBRACE THE ALIENS
and also
do NOT make them CGI aliens or smth
make them just actors in goofy costumes or I will riot
they need to separate godzill and kong
definitely
like them being buddies and all is awesome but it's still a UNIVERSE
where people exist separately and can have their own stuff going on
Kong has his Kratos arc right now
Godzilla can fight aliens
as he always has
Mothra can finally have a movie please I beg you
Rodan
Rodan
there's something so endearing for me about aliens who think trying to invade a planet with godzilla on it is a good idea
with silly names
star trek ass designs
classic "take over the world" motivation
Greetings, PATHETIC earthlings.
if they did use aliens in the MV
I'd want them to play it completely straight
don't even try to give them some boring as hell "complex" motivation that ultimately just boils down to
"take over the world"
with extra flavour
don't make them ugly CGI abominations
don't try to take them too seriously
just play it straight
evil laughs
goofy costumes
UFOs
just straight up UFOs
just embrace it
don't pretend to be complex when you aren't willing to go all the way
Motion capture could be cool
100% a good compromise
I disagree
I donāt want it to be THAT cliche
I want it to try something new
Be creative with it
not necessarily unoriginal just
make something BONKERS
silly
know what you're making is ridiculous and just own it
bc my logic is
people aren't going to take it seriously either way
so just embrace the cheese
trying to take them too seriously is just makes it seem even more childish
I do want the mv to eventually swing back to seriousness
And then maybe itāll go back to silliness
A cycle yk
that would actually be cool
like if we had the occasional story that goes for a darker tone
I think that's just all the more reason to expand the universe out
give us more Kaiju to work with
I have an idea for one that incorporates an edited version of Shin Godzilla into the mv
Titled Godzilla: Apocalypse of the Resurgent
Godzilla vs Destoroyah existed within a very specific context
and it greatly benefitted from having the whole Heisei Era before it
Yeah dest should be saved for the end
and '54 as a basis
Destoroyah isn't the kind of guy you can just throw into any old movie
and act like he's some other Kaiju
My idea is that after the shin Godzilla story there would be a trilogy of films that would conclude the monsterverse
he's the final boss
Godzilla x Kong: Saga of the Destroyer
Parts 1 2 and 3
Fr
I love space Godzilla but destoroyah is just him
right
Heās just that guy
like SpaceGodzilla is cool and all but he's not Godzilla's nemesis
or his strongest or best villain
first off that's Ghidorah
second off that's Destoroyah
Yep
SpaceGodzilla was most relevant in Godzilla Unleashed
where he barely showed up and was the final boss
and his own movie
in which he was just kind of an average Godzilla villain with a unique gimmick
he's COOL
but he's not all that
Yeah
Ghidorah and Destoroyah are both that guy
SG definitely has potential though
I think the Monsterverse could do a lot with him
Yeah
if they want to bring in an alien Kaiju that's better off with no alien race backing them
I have an idea where after defeating SG, instead of killing him, Godzilla spares him and SG pledges loyalty to him, and that comes into play during the fight with destoroyah
Orga is also that guy but not in the same way Ghidorah and Destoroyah are
Orgaās cool
Orga's just straight up badass
I think having two movies back to back with them in it, now they'll be afraid of separating them
Now the public associates the two too close together now
that's my worry too
ooohhh that'd be interesting
Maybe MV gigan could be something similar to what the anime trilogy prequel novels had
A lot of people aren't gonna prefer a godzilla monsterverse movie without kong and vice versa
whatever they do with Gigan he had better keep the buzzsaw or there WILL be blood spilled before they day is done
and it won't be from Godzilla's shoulder this time
but the legendary people
Maybe the buzzsaw is a mechanical modification after the biological version is seriously injured
He progressively becomes more and more mechanical
Battle after battle
Megalon could be an opportunity to introduce another hollow earth civilization thatās like the iwi but less friendly
And they worship megalon
yeah I was thinking that too
Megalon fits the hollow earth concept very nicely
Yeah
Donāt call the civilization seatopia tho
Thatās weird
Give it a name that an undiscovered civilization would have
then Jet Jaguar shows up out of NO WHERE....
Piloted by Trapper
Goat piloted by goat
A mothra solo movie would be a good opportunity to bring in Battra
And they fight and then have to team up against another threat
Like maybe megaguirus
Megaguirus is one of the most underrated Godzilla kaiju
real
Mothra won't sell tickets in the West, unfortunately.
Not Godzilla or Kong numbers anyway.
yeahhhh thatās what makes me doubtful
and as Iāve said before itās like
the monsterverse has never been doing AMAZING
especially with GVK it was just enough to keep it going
they canāt really afford a serious risk
Well, GvK literally saved movie theaters.
going to see this again with family tmrw
at least thatās what I remember
I could be wrong
theyāve been playing it REALLY safe and I donāt blame them
its also why Rodan getting a movie would be a miracle
even more than Mothra
which is a shame but well
itās Rodan
it wouldnāt be a new thing if he didnāt get a movie again
š
Throw it on Max
š„
They won't.
Gotta be realistic.
We'll get a Toho Mothra thing anyways, guarantee you.
And be smart with the budget like GxK was
idm who itās from just give the queen some time in the sun
I have plans to write a MonsterVerse Gamera story through these days just for fun š¤
bring Anguirus back one day too please
idm who does it just please man
the comics are awesome and all but
cāmon
and also please have him win a fight finally
š
Make his design like the singular point one
Singular point Anguirus is both the best Anguirus design and best singular point design
Iāve been getting back into the Pipeworks Godzilla trilogy recently
destroy all monsters melee
save the earth
unleashed
those games are my reason for enjoying it when Kaiju do fucking
wrestling shit on each other
and throw buildings around
theyāre also how I got into the franchise
Save the Earth especially
God I love those games
I've been playing a mod of STE recently that acts as a fourth game
called "Godzilla Save the Earth Melee"
Charlotte what you think about King Caesar š¤
LEGEND
BRING KING CAESAR BACK!!!!
and don't forget VARAN THE UNBELIEVABLE
planned to have about 60+ characters I think?
combining the rosters of all three games
with new models, movesets etc
for all the pre-existing characters
it's incomplete right now and in development but it's awesome
Is he āThe Guardian of Okinawaā??
damn right
I like to write stories for fun and I wanted to do a Gamera one but idk if is okay if I should one Toho monster to support him into my story
go for it
I was thinking Jet Jaguar but heās very silly š

https://fixupx.com/penpen_iii/status/1778378282456506745?s=46&t=L5dOEqnPLq35U2RWwh2ZNg I really need to see it
I gonna watch that one
This movie was somewhat awkward to watch.
So you telling me, project_fisticuffs (forgot the name of it), was on Hollow Earth all the time Kong was there, and the only time it got mentioned, when he got frost bite?
So Iām to assume, the Godzilla movies before this one doesnāt count, because The Iwi tribe predicted something? {drew there prediction on the wall}
The title might say Godzilla and Kong, the real hero is that moth, who stopped Godzilla and Kong from killing each other.
If Trapper didnāt use his mutant abilities (quoting the show: āLegendā), they wouldāve still have a pilot? š§āāļø Poor Mikael, died by a plant. š±
Was it just me, or did they make Jia look like the avatar, when she appeared in front of Godzilla?
One thing I found interesting: Kong was acting like a dad, to Mini Kong
Was it Dr. Andrew with her 2 phds š« or, Bernie that said, āThe Iwi people are speaking telepathicallyā. How would anyone know that? You can not start assuming because someone is not talking? š¤Æ
So Iām guessing, this is the age where, if a kid Jia (<ā stop guessing), ask to go to a dangerous place, we agree? š« š?
Honestly ||Iām probably forgetting something else?||
With all due respect, what did I just read
I think heās talking about the human characters
With respect yes. š. I mean, I probably couldāve made a short video explaining all this? ~~ There was just a lot to say about this movie. ~~
And I probably didnāt say a lot of the first one š
It seems you also got disappointed too
That moth you mean Mothra
A goddess from heaven
I mean I enjoyed the movie, but youāre probably right š
here you go

Can someone do this but with Kong and Godzilla at the Egypt portal?
Aw, it's not completed
@MoonZilla4 "The Monkey's Axe
The Monkey's Fist
THE MONKEY!!!!!"
MY QUUUEEEENNN
The movie is basically a saturday morning cartoon playing in front of a kid who is bonking his toys together.
and I honestly love it for that
Welllll guess what Wingard confirmed
OMG
I FUCKING KNEW IT
I'M SO HAPPY
THEY'RE BASED ON THE PIPEWORKS TRILOGY CONFIRMED
HOLY FUCK NO WAY
I had a feeling but I didn't think I'd ever see that shit integrated into a movie
THAT'S SO AMAZING
UGH IT FEELS SO RIGHT
throwing buildings at each other
wrestling shit
stupid over the top moves
FUCK YEAH
Wingard has my respect for that idc
that's fucking real
that's REAL
that makes me indescribably happy
I've never hyper focused so much before...
#GodzillaXKong
āļø Quoting TrenchKaiju (COMMS OPEN) (@KaijuTrench)
Can someone do this but with Kong and Godzilla at the Egypt portal?
Cool, they did that dancing meme
Ayo that movie was something
I'm gonna assume this is all Kong does now that he's the leader of the other Kongs
why does this somehow look faker than all the previous Monsterverse CGI. is it the way its filmed?
God I hate the music score from Junkie XL 
Probably because it's out in broad bright bright daylight in a big empty looking landscape, and we don't normally see kaiju fights like that
Same issue with Pacific Rim Uprising
It just makes everything look so flat and boring
sigh
The night time city action scene in pacific rim will always look amazing
I'd be ok with the super silly kids cartoon style of these recent movies if they were directed better.
Wingard does not know how to direct a kaiju movie
I'm sure the director can only do so much, they probably barely have much creative input
You're just told a big list of stuff you're forced to include and work a way to make it all happen I bet
I dont know man, Edwards and Dougherty's movies are very distinctly different from each other, and from Wingards
same franchise, same production company, same IP rights
Cheddar would you use this type of music if you do a monster action probably Godzilla or Rodan movie??
Track: ART STAGE:Chaotic Order
Track #: 15
Composer: å³°é¦ä»£å, å±±å
ē„ä», äøäøå“, amo, moimoi
Album: Pachislot Devil May Cry X The Last Judgement ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK
Year: 2016
Nah, too dancey
Wingard is almost like Paul WS Anderson with Monster Hunter 
Even some hard rock music for your taste hehe 
I dont mind dancy music but I feel like music in kaiju movies needs to be more epic, slower

Watched this without knowing a single thing about the monsterverse but the way Kong dragged Godzilla by his tail and Godzilla sleeping like a cat in Rome are top 2024 moments for me
You should watch the other films. You're in for peak.
Hopefully I'll watch them this weekend 
My interest in Godzilla has grown exponentially
I'm MORE than happy to give recommendations ā¤ļø ā¤ļø
outside of the monsterverse too
Chicken little
The theatre audience cackled in that scene.
mine was pretty much silent the entire thing despite the entire largest room being packed but the movie was also loud so maybe I couldn't hear much
look at this monkeeeeeeyyy
LFG he enjoyed!!
Holy shit he liked it
Kong getting a toothache felt like something we would've seen twelve monsterfilms down the line when they truly ran out of ideas
Was that really the best excuse they could've came up with for why Kong went to the surface
just saying i think it looks amazing but i also think its because less texture and effort put onto the models still i think its the best monsterverse film yet
Definitely not the best MonsterVerse movie but is 100% the most weakest and disappointed š
Read my review and you will understand why me, Cheddar and some Godzilla fans hate it so badly
Verdict: 3/10; Probably the return from a very lovely old friend might be the highlight for this movie ā Godzilla X Kong: The New EmpireĀ promise a superb heavy effectsāpacked monster mashup with 80s sci-fi thrills through their trailers and posters but turns out to be the most disappointing MonsterVerse entry going very light on the monster acti...
Tons of Godzilla fans now named King of the Monsters the real best MonsterVerse movie all time
We are not getting rude with anyone but we are just very disappointed and depressed how GXK was a fake movie and joke for some serious Godzilla and Toho Monsters fans, and we are trying to explain what are the issues
i think the soundtrack was amazing and the sound design but it all comes down to opinions so i will respect yours but i disagree
I didnāt like Tom Holkenborg/Junkie XL music score is definitely generic and we barely heard Godzilla theme but I got very upset how disrespectful he went with ||Mothra theme|| I prefer more Bear McCreary music than him

Heavy classical orchestral music with some rocky guitars and light sounded electronic music undertones
i do understand that but i mean the actuall sound track atleast trackers s track i loved atleast because i love 80s style music
Iām glad people like some 80s cheesy action movie aspects but when comes on a Godzilla or Toho monster movie Iāll take it very seriously in every aspect even on music, photography and style
I wish i could love GXK that much if I was only titled as āKong: The New Empireā but giving me fake hopes featuring Godzilla as poor developed lazy supporting character and im glad that ||Mothra returns|| but without her traditional lore with a larva or at least a cocoon was a insult for my heart and my feelings
Another issue is that ||Mothraā twin priestesses|| didnāt return Dr. Chen and Dr. Ling š
wouldnt a 3/10 be 1.5 stars...
kotm at the top 
Was officially a 1.5/10 but after seeing ||Mothra return|| that higher my overall a bit just a bit but it was very very disappointed I spend the whole weekend so depressed š
Ofcccccccc Godzilla: King of the Monsters will forever be my best favorite MonsterVerse movie all time the classic nostalgia from Heisei era instantly made my heart happily cry š„¹
It is for āseriouslyā Godzilla fans
yeah

Been saying it
Mickey being annoying

Did you watch the Netflix anime Godzilla movies?
I did
Are they any good I only watched the first one and didnāt care for it
They suck
Second one is the worst, 1 and 3 are a little better but still bad

Sequel confirmed
Hopefully more Godzilla in this one
Shin would you prefer another G/K movie or would you want a Godzilla solo
Better be 
I'm fine with a duo film
We're gonna get Toho stuff as supplements
I love Kong just as much as Goji so
I love Kong too but GvK and GxK were lopsided in favor of Kong, i'd like to see a little more of an equal spread if both of their names are on it
Wingard said he wanted to focus on Godzilla more in this next one
Give. Us. A. Standalone. Mothra. Movie. Instead.
this
I was okay with it since Kong lost pretty hard in GVK
made sense for him to get the spotlight here
but now it's balanced and both characters don't have anywhere to really go for a while
might be a good time for our moth girl to get the spotlight
I love Mothra in the og shiz lets see a full film bout her, mayb it would be too simple not sure

was just about to post this here too
yeah it sums up my feelings on the movie pretty perfectly
with what itās trying to be it mostly excels at
I donāt really know why anyone is surprised that Kong is the de facto main character of the past two movies
and Godzilla has been more of an afterthought
Godzilla has nearly 40 movies
is the most prominent kaiju in the monsterverse
Kong has rarely gotten a chance to be anything more than his original movie
at least compared to Godzilla
whoās had an entire filmography to be whatever the filmmakers want
people
I think we can let Godzilla take a backseat
š
not to mention one that came out a few months ago
I think Godzilla can be an afterthought ONE time
yes?
I prefer Godzilla thatās the thing
but heās had more than enough attention
that is speaking externally
but like internally inside the movie, inside the series, godzilla doesn't get the level of development and focus kong gets
if the 2 characters weren't godzilla and king freaking kong, the complaints would still be there
Link? I need to know what happens when Mothra arrived!
Meanwhile lol
Oh they are only up to that frame
God I love the lemon meme
Lol!
Adam Wingard confirms that the Mothra we see in āGODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIREā is the mother of the one seen in āGodzilla: King of Monsters.ā
(Via: https://comicbook.com/anime/news/godzilla-x-kong-director-mothra-theory-confirmation/)
Yeah we knew that
This is acceptable
Yeah Shimo is very similar to Krystalak
What happened with him i thought Toho was really gonna use him on some movies
no idea š
But my question is: what he is???
All I know is he was made by SpaceGodzillaā Crystal radiation
On New York City
iāll have to refresh myself
in Unleashed heās on the mutant category but like
in the game they just treat that category as āanything that isnāt in the othersā
Two evil side and two good hero side
