We are living in an age where we get 5 amazingly made superhero movies every year, where Star Wars is good again and where Hollywood embracing japanese Kaiju movies.


What a time to be alive.

All we need is a good Hollywood adaptation of Gundam and my life is complete
 
It looks like a Moth so all is good

We just need to see Ghidorah next since that's the design they have to get right.

I am so excited for Ghidorah, I've wanted to see Hollywood's take on him since I was little. Come to think of it I would have been the happiest kid alive if this is the type of approach Sony would have taken back in the 90's with Godzilla...

Yeah, this is what I'm anxious about. Some people want Ghidrah to wing walk, and Legendary might end up doing that but a classic fan-wing design is so much more cooler and unique.
 
There is also a seventh monster in Siberia.

Yup. Ghidorah is clearly stated to be frozen in the antarctic, so there's something in Siberia.

I'm hopeful for a bunch of kaiju to fill this world, but I'd prefer they mostly be relatively "mundane" monsters like most of the early Showa stuff. Varan, Baragon, Anguirus, Manda, Kamacuras, Kumonga, etc.

That isn't to say that others like Biollante wouldn't be appreciated, I just don't want to see this series fall into the same trap the Heisei series did where it quickly just became a series of Pink Floyd laswr light shows.

That reminds me, is the Robotech movie still happening? I watched that as a kid and the original Macross as an adult. Easily my favorite anime of all time. I can't even hate on Robotech because it was the first one I saw.

I was so excited about it but it's been a long time since they've said anything about it. Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer them to adapt Macross instead but I'll take what I can get.

It's probably just a background prop/little reference because there's really no point of an Oxygen Destroyer in this movie without the original Serizawa.

and as far as I know Legendary doesn't have the license for Destoroyah

Ken Watanabe's character in these movies is this world's version of Dr. Serizawa. Not sure what ties if any he would have to an oxygen destroyer though.

Doesn't mean that Toho can't give it to them. And if King Ghidorah were to be defeated/killed in this movie, then maybe Destoroyah is the main bad that Godzilla and Kong have to team up against in the third movie?
 
Seriously, it should be so easy to do. I honestly don't know why they haven't yet and it just makes me sad

I guess finding excuse to have giant robot for space battles against other human is too hard. I mean, Pacific Rim they're fighting against giant monster so they need giant robot. in Gundam, their enemies is another group of humans. why not just use space ships and guns instead of giant robot and why even have close range beam saber weapon.

Monsterverse is just fanservice after fanservice lol. At least they figured out what people watch these movies for. :p

At least it's more fanservice than Godzilla 2014, where you got basically nothing at all.

God I hope this movie is better than that one.
 
Well hopefully, this eventually leads to Destroyah since I can't see how they could fit the Oxygen Destroyer in the Legendary Universe, besides killing Godzilla off.

The Oxygen Destroyer is an interesting inclusion though given that Godzilla's origin in this universe is completely different. So the Oxygen Destroyer sort of loses all of its meaning.

We have a totally different Serizawa now, and at the moment I can't really square away how he'd want to create something like the Oxygen Destroyer. ._.
