Hey! I have been keeping myself in the dark on this film up until today. Godzilla was a staple of my childhood, and there are many running jokes in our family about it. I have been trying to keep my expectations at the bottom of the barrel, but this trailer has forced me to raise them... hopefully not too high.

edit: After rewatching it there are some strange things at 1:33 which looks like something with folded wings diving or falling into the ocean. 1:48 there is something knocking fighters from the sky, and the setting looks similar to the scene from 1:33. 2:07 is the weird foot thing, that looks like the edge of a bent wing, sort of how a bat walks on the ground.

I would enjoy if Ghidorah makes an appearance, though with an altered appearance deviating from the tree trunk form in the past. If there is another monster with wings, my money is on Rodan. The Destroyer had wings, but it basically an unknown, so highly doubtful.

Ok, did a bit of digging. Minimum of 2 monsters is the rumor. I'm sticking with Rodan.



Destroyah, if it isn't King Ghidorah

Definitely keep those expectations low. Better to have them exceeded than crushed... Let's face it, "modern" versions of those old Japanese monster movies centuries have really failed to live up to even the low expectations we've set for them.

Rodan would work fine for me.

Rodan is a lot more iconic than Ghidorah, so that makes sense.

But im thinking it might be Mothra.

Right, could be.

Or could be something entirely new as well. Nothing wrong with that.

I hope not, which would have the inclusion of the mini alien twins.

It sounds like it is going to be 2 new never before seen insect like (possibly mutating) monsters. Speculation is that they are man made in the Nevada desert since there are shots of Las Vegas being destroyed (which is a funny nod to disaster films destroying monuments... all of them are in LV).

Things I love about the upcoming movie after watching, and re-watching, the latest trailer;
1) Looks like they are tying this movie to Godzilla’s origin story from the very first Godzilla movie
2) The tone of the movie appears to be very somber and serious. Godzilla’s first movie had that same tone but after 50 years of camp it’s hard to remember that fact.

Dear God am I hyped to see this movie.

Not sure how this could possibly end up being a good movie.

Looks dope. Having Cranston and Watanabe on board gives me hope it won't suck.

Either.

Though it would be fun if every now and then big movies would come out that didnt need someone to add the disclaimer that I leave my brain at home before i go to the theater in able to enjoy it.

This genre will always lend itself to campiness, but it is good to see them moving back toward the tone of the original film. At that time it had good special effects, and a very serious tone and message to it.

This movie can be good if the acting is not over the top, and they let the message of the film speak for itself rather than ramming it down the audience's throat. Something else that may not bother some, but I hate revelations that come via exposition. Obviously some things should be revealed through dialogue, but I do not want this to be something like M. Night would do where the entire back story of the monsters are spoon fed to the audience via the mouth of some government official or scientist that could not possibly know everything he knows.

Let us fill in the blanks dammit!
