Godzilla X Kong: Humans Aren't The Main Characters Anymore 

And flying backwards if he uses the atomic breath with enough intensity

It missed opportunity

He kinda did that to shimo during the movie.

he actually did something like a roundhouse kick on a monkey in that scene but it was all moving so fast that it just kinda flew by. I only saw it on my second watch

I was honestly expecting Godzilla to fly like a rocket and slam into bod monkes/ the ice Kaiju in the 0 G scene. My only dissapointment when it comes to the action in the movie. But hey ge still jumped around and tackled the ice kaiju and it was cool

I'm so excited for that to happen!

Minus One is Godzilla back to his Gojira 1954 roots while the Monsterverse is currently in it's Showa Era stage and, as a fan of all eras of Godzilla, *I'm here for BOTH!!!*

If only people would stop comparing the two now.

​@@XDX13unfortunate but people just can't enjoy things

​@@XDX13 Comparing the two is bad enough. When people use Minus One to attack Hollywood, that's even worse. Cuz you know most of them only watched Minus One, then suddenly they're the experts on Godzilla.

toho is just on another level

Godzilla vs Megalon was a whole ass movie, though it was filmed in only 3 weeks

@@TheDuckyDino I mean the modern shorts Made by toho to celebrate godzilla's aniversary. There Is one of Godzilla vs Megalon, another vs gaigan, vs Hedora and a two part tokisatsu with jet jaguar in production.

@@luisreynamboarcos2958 oh right, I forgot about those

bro same

Same here

I love Wingard. King of the Monsters is my least favorite in the Monsterverse, but Wingard succeeded where Dougherty failed - bright scenes, some without music, and longer kaiju fights.

@@Vahlee-A who's Dougherty

You think this will eventually result in the long awaited Godzilla Drop Kick?

Well, we can't argue with Nuh Uh -Toho and Legendary

Monsterverse movies are the perfect "turn your brain off and enjoy" movie & I love them for it. Modern Japanese Godzilla films have a more serious & grounded story that puts more focus on the human side of things This is what I love about Godzilla, you can mold him to be about anything, from Godzilla being a goofy hero, drop-kicking other giant monsters, to a moving story about Godzilla being someone's symbol of their regrets and traumas. Godzilla can be molded to please so many demographics it's actually pretty amazing.

@@CatWithAOpinion better not let Doktor Skipper see this comment, he'll correct you and tell you that you're wrong for liking American Godzilla movies and that your time would be better spent on Minus One and only Minus One

Dude the kaiju were front and center to a extent since ksi. Why else do you think g14 had weight for it's 1 fight but the other MV films lacked said weight?. Human POV (essentially all of g14) kaiju have weight. Kaiju POV, kaiju move how they wanna move (which is essentially every fight scene after g14). The humans have been doing nothing but moving the plot along and adding lore for the past 10 years with the MV. Biggest problem with them is that they're constantly underdeveloped with the exception of ksi which balanced the humans and kaiju. Gxk was just the first movie to purposely put the kaiju first and humans second. Meanwhile kotm and gxk unintentionally did so.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@Kaiju-bm4tsBy “kaiju front and center” I obviously mean that the kaiju are the main focus in this movie, which it clearly wasn’t for the previous Monsterverse movie. We saw things from the human’s perspective while Godzilla and/or Kong would just show up to fight monsters or cause havoc, with Godzilla himself not even showing up in 2014 until 43 minutes into the movie. KOTM introduced a ton of new kaiju, but it still focuses primarily on Maddie and her family and the kaiju are little more than a plot device for a dumb eco-terrorism plot. Even with the importance the kaiju have in the plot for both of these films, at their core they’re still Monarch’s story, not Godzilla/Kong’s since everything is seen and told from their POV. The kaiju having “weight” has nothing to do with the movie being from their POV and just has to do with the direction, since Wingard doesn’t take a more realistic and grounded approach to kaiju action like Edwards did and is instead inspired by the more over-the-top action from the Showa era. Now, compare this to GXK, where it’s specifically written to be Kong’s story and you have several uninterrupted scenes of just focusing on him exploring Hollow Earth and fighting Skar King. The emotional core of the movie is of Kong finding his people and trying to free them from a ruthless tyrant, while the humans are there to give context to this setting and what Kong is dealing with due to there being no organic way to find out on his own. Instead of being a human-centric story involving kaiju, it strikes the right balance between the two, which Kong Skull Island did come closest too, but it still mainly follows the group of soldiers exploring the island while Kong shows up occasionally to protect it.

@@amirgarcia547 The kaiju having weight does have to do with the POV, as it was confirmed by Adam why the kaiju move faster, have less weight and look smaller in regards to their surroundings at points. A grounded setting isn't the only place weight is present. There's many godzilla films from tohk that aren't grounded and godzilla still feels heavy. From our perspective, they move slow. From their own perspective, they move how they wanna move. The only difference gxk does is having the kaiju be front and center story wise, the 3 previous films (most especially kotm and gvk) placed more focused on getting from one action sequence to the next as quickly as possible which gxk also does. Compare that to ksi which balanced it's human stuff and kaiju stuff which in turn, resulted in ksi having possibly having the largest cast of memorable characters in a MV entry that doesn't just come down to a mere 2 or 3 which seems to be the maximum number of likeable characters for each entry before and after ksi. The plot is a bit fast paced yes but there's not alot of cutaways during fight sequences. Clearly ksi to a extent leans more towards the kaiju when it calls for it without forgetting to develop it's characters. Gxk being so kaiju focused is good for the kaiju but leaves the humans underdeveloped and that's the 1 downside of a film like gxk and it's the same flaw that can be found in kotm and gxk. I get what you mean but just saying that the MV has been kaiju focused to a extent since 2017. This is just the first entry to have the kaiju truly carry the story intentionally. By all means, that's not a balance. Pacific rim is a balance, so is vs destoroyah, gmk, heisei gamera (with the exception of g3). This was a kaiju centric story that involves humans. Polar opposite of g14, monarch and skull island. Meanwhile ksi, kotm and gvk (originally) tried to balance the 2 sides with only ksi succeeding in that department

Okay it’s definitely not the best monsterverse films. After a while the whole focusing on kaiju’s is starting to get bland. I mean take this for example, the tension and build up to the fight in 2014 was like NEVER before, and when we finally got it, it was insane and blew us away. But now with the new direction the monsterverse is going, these fights don’t have that level of tension anymore, they aren’t as exciting as they once were since we’re getting fed that same thing all the time. The entire film was literally just a fight scene, I mean seriously every 3 minutes we had giant monsters attacking each other, and then the final battle held NO tension whatsoever because you were already treated to that juicy fight scene an hour and 15 minutes ago. Skar king’s death and the finally battle in general literally gave me no emotion, I wasn’t out of my seat excited, I was just bored and disappointed (not that I really held this movie with any expectations at all, I set them extremely low based off the trailer). I mean take minus one for example, and YES I understand these are 2 completely separate films but just listen for a second, the whole film was based on the humans and once godzilla FINALLY showed up to attack the main cast, I was literally tearing up with excitement and joy, and the final battle held SO Much tension I genuinely was scared for what would happen next. There is such a huge difference in watching something that has been built up for so long compared to something that’s being fed to you constantly. Would you still like the same desert if you had it for breakfast lunch and dinner, or just once a day? It’s just not the same since your tolerance would build up.

​@@TwainerYT completely agree. This movie is kind of a slog and top of that, the cinematography is the weakest it's ever been.

Yes return to glorious showa era with higher budget

Fr. Like people saying humans don’t matter need to watch more kaiju media.

It also makes rather perfect sense to have a glove for Kong as an upgrade just in case Godzilla ever gets killed and have another Ghidorah situation. Kong needing some upgrades will help if he ever fights this possible threat.

Exactly! I completely agree. (Also tnx for 16 likes guys )

A lot of people have been requesting The Black so i'm definitely considering it for a future video :)

PR in the monsterverse?

@@fatboy158 Could be.. or they set up for Jet Jaguar... Who knows. Just pointed something similar...

@@freedomwriter9688 Yeah I just did.... NIce

Was it when Ilene and trapper were talking at the beach or when they called trapper?

The showa era started off with a serious, dark and grounded film. The MV also started with a serious, dark and grounded film. The showa era vibe does work if that's how both universes started and thus expanded by not being bounded by "realism" after a certain point. Heisei era was never grounded, it was sort of futuristic from the start and got more futuristic later on. Even kotm was a modernized showa flick. Especially in terms of tone. The heisei era in terms of tone even started out serious but quickly became sort of campy and ended serious. Even godzilla 98 despite not being serious, was still grounded and what followed it? A showa era style TV series that took itself seriously at times while still being campy and less grounded.
