    I see a lot of people hating on the monsterverse cause of various reasons, but the one i hear the most is that they aren’t “serious” Godzilla films… but they aren’t trying to be “Serious” movies with deep messages or plots.
    They are trying to be good action movies that people love to see, and i for one love every monsterverse movie, they are all great because they are all GOOD action movies, they have lore, and make me and everyone i know question how creatures could evolve and adapt into what they are now.
    The monsterverse is centered on the natural order, and nature, and Godzilla and the other Titans are embodiments of those forces. The films reiterate one of the core messages of Godzilla, That Nature is always more powerful than Man ever will be, and all we can do is learn to co-exist with Nature.
    The point i’m trying to make is that, The Monsterverse films aren’t the movies you want them to be, they are the films that they are trying to be, which are action films. The original Gojira along with Minus One and Shin Godzilla ARE the films you want them to be.
    You CANNOT compare two different movies from two different genres and call one stupid because it doesn’t conform to the standards of another.
    It doesn’t make sense.

      You can compare them in terms of writing fundamentals. The monsterverse is a nonsensical pile of sludge covered vomit with no sense of continuity. It incorporates its themes poorly after Skull Island and the action becomes hot garbage after KOTM. I want them to be good and only 2 come close to being that. You can still be coherent, consistent and generally well written while being an action movie. Any and all attempts to excuse the current state of the monsterverse don't hold up.

  • @georgesummitt1980

    I'm starting to see a trend in videos like this one, I noticed it after watching Alastor Hackon's video on Godzilla. The trend is that people insist that the further away Godzilla got from his nuclear devastation allegory origins, the worse he got. The idea that his days of fighting other kaiju were a waste of time and turned him into a cheap action figure. I'm with you on this one, I don't mind when Godzilla is used as a prop in an action movie as long as the writing is good. I don't want Godzilla's rogues gallery of other kaiju to go unused or deemed unnecessary, I think they have a lot of potential. The Godzilla vs another monster style movie has worked before. Godzilla vs Biolantte, Godzilla 2000, GMK, Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, and Godzilla 2014 are my examples of good Godzilla vs other monster movies.

    In my opinion, people who think that Godzilla only works with a message are so wrong and doesn't understand the character. The MV, with flaws and all, is still fun, because Godzilla isn't just a walking metaphor where its all takens seriously. Godzilla in the MV has its metaphors, but a characterization, one that by only seeing him ln screen you get what he wants, as for the older films, they always talk to you what Godzilla is feeling or is doing. Godzilla for a long time has been a character and not just your homework about WW2's nuclear aspect.

Phase 2 seems to be making the MV more of a franchise with the games and shows, but GXK doesn't have a clear goal to work towards.
