I can empathize with that, but to me, it's more the fact that it's so far away, rather than simply disliking the Monsterverse films overall.

It's like trying to get hyped over the upcoming Pokemon game on the Switch; there's simply nothing to be excited about yet. Forcing yourself to be hyped will only burn you out faster.

I'd imagine not for at least 5 or 6 months.

Probably in July at Comic Con
"And now you will walk to him, and you will battle him to the death. Green and Brown. Fight night. The greatest gladiator match in the history of the world: reptile versus primate; day versus night; King of Monsters versus Kong of Skull Island!"

Try 7 or 8 months to be more realistic. I'd expect them to drop it Comic Con in July and it could also be shown with ''The Meg'' film being released in August since it is coming in IMAX and 3D which is confirmed.

Either way June the earliest, August the latest. Still a ways to go.

Compared to how long we HAVE waited though 7-8 months isn't too far away. Frankly, I feel like it wasn't too long ago when we got the teaser trailer for Kong: Skull Island at SDCC 2016.

Kong is Ness and Skull Island is apart of Undertale.

With Kong it was more or less the same. These movies are not doing what Shin Godzilla did for me which left a lasting impression. On top of that Godzilla 2014 seemed to lose its momentum long ago. Even though there is Still room for potential in this cinematic universe I just think Legendary is just adapting a tired concept that is being overdone with the Marvel and DC films. Im all for Kong and Godzilla sharing the same universe but the 2 being put up against one another is not necessary IMO.
Man, I couldn't disagree more. I was beyond hyped to the moon for G14, Kong, and now every subsequent movie, and have not been disappointed one bit. G14's only letdown was a bland protagonist, Kong's wonderful casting remedied that completely. Shin was an interesting movie, but did not have nearly the same impact to me. I actually hope we don't get a Shin sequel where he grows wings and starts flying and shedding little zilla-people like fleas, he's already dangerously close to not even being Godzilla-ish enough as it is.

I’m to a point where I’m so excited, that I’m afraid I’m going to either burn out, by the time this film comes along, or I’m going to be thoroughly disappointed.

It's hard for me to get excited until I see footage or hear more information about the plot. Outside of having Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah we know practically nothing about what direction Dougherty and Co are taking this film. As someone who hates G14 I simply can't get truly excited until I hear or see more. Having an almost entirely new creative team has peaked my interest considerably but I still do know enough to get truly excited. Once SDCC rolls around I'm certain that will change (one way or another).

I'm excited simply due to Micheal Dougherty directing, as i wanted him to direct Godzilla 2014.

Plus with Trick R Treat and Krampus being Holiday favorites, and his approach with bringing the monsters more to the front line makes me even more excited. Plus he loves using practical effects whenever possible. As long as the script is decent, then it should be miles above Godzilla 2014.

That said i didn't hate G-2014 but was a bit disappointed in it. It doesn't have a lot of reply value. There really going to have to hype this up with the trailers to get the general audience back on board for another Godzilla though.

The trailer is gonna be nuts! We will def see Godzilla, and probably Mothra and Rodan and Ghidorah will be left out of the trailers.

I think Godzilla, Mothra and Rodan will be in the trailers, But I do think King Ghidorah will be saved for the movie. He will be teased a lot though.
