Same. I’ve been keeping up with SP and some of the spoilers, and so far the characters are really varied, colorful, and interesting. Excited to actually see it all when it heads over to the states in June!

Yes.

How the hell they like the characters without knowing a lick of Japanese is beyond me? The animated acting must be perfection.

No man don't do it. It's NOT worth it. Come on down from that metaphorical ledge and let's talk about it.

I honestly love how so far the main SP characters are just ordinary schmucks trying to make sense of the events and kaiju appearances. I really missed those type of mundane Human protagonists in the franchise.

Eh, there were plenty of movies centered on ordinary schmucks. KKvG, EHOTD, GRA, GvG, GvMG, and GR, for example.

Have the Monsterverse films really revolved around military man protagonists?

2014 had Brody yes, but Skull Island had Mason who was a photo-journalist and Conrad had become a Hunter-tracker for the most part with his military background being the source of his skills. GVK had almost no direct military characters other than a presence. KOTM is the only one other than 2014 that went super hard on it. But for Skull island and GVK I'd say they don't really differ much from a late Heisei or Millenium era film even some Showa films

Skull Island had Packard as a main character, too, don't forget. But yes, the idea of military characters dominating the Monsterverse is a strange exaggeration.

Packard if anything was the antagonist of Skull Island not one of the leads we follow.

Leads doesn't just mean the protagonists. Antagonists drive the story as much as the protagonists, if not more so.
The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.
