Except Pacific Rim, Rampage, and The Meg all kind of prove that's not true though? I mean, those all did profit - Pac Rim got a sequel (not so good) and an anime, and The Meg is getting a sequel. Don't know how you get more relevant than profits and sequels and cartoons. They're already relevant without Godzilla.

Heck, Lovecraft's stuff is relevant - Underwater, Lovecraft Country, more games than I can count these days...
Cloverfield is gonna have 4 movies soon. No Godzilla in sight.
Cloverfield was given 2 of those movies and only one was about the monster.
Mothra vs Godzilla> Gojira

Eh, I don't count the last two movies - they're not really kaiju films like the first one was. But the 4th one is supposed to be a return to the genre, so here's hoping.
The first one though definitely did great.
I unapologetically, wholeheartedly, and without a doubt hate Godzilla vs Kong.

Personally, I would enjoy a Monsterverse take on Infinity War in which Cthulhu was the Thanos equivalent.
