It was. And I just rewatched the skit. It's just as funny as the first time.

Maybe he'll make an appearance too?
If he shows up in this movie, I would imagine it'll only be during the end credits.

Godzilla vs Kong is set for 2020.
If Kong wins again I'm going to be pissed. No way that King Kong would beat Godzilla.
Exhibit A: Kong knows kung fu

Exhibit B: Kong ain't afraid to choke a bitch

Counter-point: radioactive breath right to the junk.

But big picture - they're both giant strong monsters, only Godzilla also has claws and goddamn radioactive breath.

Ah, but Kong moves like 1990 Steven Seagal, while Godzilla moves like 2018 Steven Seagal. While Godzilla is struggling to raise one foot above a power line, Kong has already administered twenty seven death blows to his sternum...and finished his taxes. Long form.

You don't need to move fast when you're the only one with a ranged weapon. Which you can direct with pinpoint accuracy at their junk.

I see what they did there.

Epic.Stoked for this as I was for 2014 Godzilla.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited. I'll be seeing it on day one. Looks good.

I'll probably go in costume again.

Didn't the police warn you against that after last time?

I don’t listen to authority, man. I’m a rebel. When the man tells me, “you can’t come into this theater wearing only speedos and a lizard mask” I laugh. You can’t stop Godzilla love, baby!

TheMix · Post by **TheMix** » Sat Dec 15, 2018 1:47 am

Speedos? Plural? Do I even want to try and figure that out?

It takes three pairs to contain my greatness.

Doesn't provide as much protection from Godzilla's junk ray. Trust me on this.

I get the feeling there are more than the four monsters they are showing in trailers. Minor players perhaps.

pr0ner · Post by **pr0ner** » Tue Apr 23, 2019 1:38 pm

FINAL TRAILER.

TAKE MY MONEY NOW.

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Tue Apr 23, 2019 1:55 pm

This is what they needed. Just all out bonkers fun in the same vein as their Japanese source material. I don't want a stale and cliched story about giant monster terrorizing a city. I want 3 or more giant monsters terrorizing the world...and throw in some goddamn space aliens for good measure.

dbt1949 · Post by **dbt1949** » Tue Apr 23, 2019 2:26 pm

Finally! A REAL Godzilla movie!

naednek · Post by **naednek** » Tue Apr 23, 2019 4:17 pm

I've seen all the trailers for this movie, and always came out not caring about it. This last movie trailer finally changed that. Looks fun

Daehawk · Post by **Daehawk** » Wed Apr 24, 2019 1:52 pm

5 min HQ trailer....think it may have spoilers...but its pretty.

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Wed Apr 24, 2019 2:07 pm

Also, I mentioned this in the Netflix thread, but if you do have Netflix, check out the Godzilla trilogy of anime movies. They're fun. Set in the far, far future, they reimagine quite a few of the character's iconic enemies as...well...I won't ruin the surprises.

How does Ghidorah ever figure out what it's going to do?

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Wed Apr 24, 2019 4:20 pm

If he wants to do something he just....calls ahead.

God, I'm so sorry.

Dear god, I’ve created a monster in a thread about a monster.

Which two heads are better than the other one?

the best way to defeat a hydra is to cut off so many heads that it eventually collapses from the weight of bureaucracy.

Hot damn this movie was fun. And LOUD in IMAX.

My wife LOVES big monster movies, and Friday also happened to be her birthday. She thought it was great, better than the previous Godzilla and Kong movies that had come out. The plot and story in this film is fairly nonexistent. I'm pretty sure they didn't do more than a single take for any scene involving humans. And I'm fine with that, because all of the extra money they saved went into the special effects budget. This thing looked great!

We had a good audience to watch it with too. There were a couple of loud families a row or two behind us, but there was a preteen and his dad sitting right next to me and they were enjoying the shit out of this film. Their excitement was infectious. The theater broke out into applause when it was over.

We didn't stick around until the very end of the credits. Was there anything there?

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Sat Jun 01, 2019 4:34 pm

Just got back. The reviews have been mediocre but this is one of the few times I can’t agree with them. The movie was pure Godzilla fun from start to finish. I also thought it had a bit more of a story than folks are saying. They explored a little bit of Godzilla’s history, they tied it to the previous film with a family connection, and Monarch was fleshed out more.

If your twelve year old self doesn’t fight adult you for the right to jump up on your chair when an angry, 350 foot Godzilla comes out of nowhere in the nick of time to administer kaiju justice, you’re dead inside.

...although the third instance of “in the nick of time” was stretching it by that point.

My only issue was I thought there was too much story. You say there are 17 or so monsters out there....I wanna see them all!!
Could care less about mommy and daddy issues.

As far as end credits:

Just got back. I loved every scene with a monster, and was bored with every scene with a human.

Spoiler:

Anyway, anything with monsters was awesome.

Also, in the US, this showed apocalyptic events in California, DC, and Boston. Is this a Fallout prequel?

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Tue Jun 04, 2019 9:10 am

The humans served their purpose of giving a reason for the battle royale, as well as explaining how the battle was faring. They were rarely on screen for more than that. Think of them as ring announcers who just happened to show up on bring your kid to work day.
