Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) - Part 1

Trailers have looked beyond boss each time in the theater. This film is about scope and size. It has to be seen in a theater.
 
Am I the only one in wishing they didn’t make them so freaking big? I get it’s Godzilla and it’s supposed to be huge. And it’s not meant to be realistic. But when I see them bigger than skyscrapers and wrestling around, I don’t see how anyone can “root” for any side considering the amount of collateral damage they cause.

Even if they were half the size they were now, it would still be impressive without seeming like they would kill thousands just by falling over.

I believe the original Showa Godzilla was about half as tall (and considerably less massive), so I see your point.

But when the alternative (King Ghidorah) is the end of all life on Earth, I guess you take what you can get.

Part of that is the cities that they choose to depict them in. Its why Godzilla kept getting a size increase in the japanese films. Buildings kept getting taller. The original 50m Godzilla would be dwarfed by the Tokyo of the 80's. DC, where the climax looks to happen, is a lot less vertically high than San Francisco in the first movie.

Final Battle is in Boston

But your exactly right about the size.

As our cities get bigger and bigger in many ways so do the Kaiju.

I think it would be cooler seeing them climb buildings instead of just towering over them.

Yeah. Kaiju like super heroes is a mythology of the "now". You have to adapt to the modern environments of our mundane world as it is currently.
 
That Rodan/ Ghidora clash in the sky looks epic. I can’t wait for this movie!! I’m really looking forward to how it ends and leads into Godzilla vs Kong. Total speculation on my part, but I’m thinking Godzilla reaches critical mass in order to stop Ghidora and Kong has to deal with the fall out the next movie before the team up to end Ghidora once and for all.

I highly doubt that.

Lol yeah, just wishful thinking and speculation on my part. But we do know Kong will be the protagonist if for nothing else in that between the two he is weaker and fits the under dog role. Godzilla is the super powered creature so it’s easier for him to play the antagonist and fits, but given his popularity you can not have him die, so again I’m betting at some point they team up. That way everyone wins. Again total speculation on my part given the previous films and previews to KOTM.

I hope so.. That way everybody wins!! That would be awesome to watch. But before that, this movie.. This movie looks great!! I know people have said remake of Ghidora the 3 headed monster, but I also think this will be a lot like GMK . I just think In this movie you have Ghidora as the big bad instead of Godzilla. May can’t get here quick enough!!
 
Sweet.

Vera Farmiga's character is totally gonna bite the dust.
 
When are we getting a new trailer? Hopefully we'll get something with Shazam at least.

There's going to be a panel for the MonsterVerse at the WonderCon [March (29-31)] this year. It's from the same folks who organize SDCC so it's going to be big event and Godzilla 2014 had a big presence during WonderCon in the year of it's release so the possibilities are there.There's also another opportunity just days later during Cinemacon (April 2) where all the major studios except Sony will show off their stuff. The trailer will release just in time to get attached to Shazam!
 
Well get the final trailer sometimes in the next two weeks
