the other Titans should definitely be there, but not the focus. we all know that Goji and Kong aren't gonna kill each other, so I think showing the titans at the beginning during setup and end during the finale with the inevitable new monster would be best, with the middle of the movie focused on Godzilla and Kong

In the G:KOTM novelization, Ishiro has a son named Ren. In GvK, Shun Oguri plays an unknown character. Shun has a resemblance to Ken Watanabe. Is Shun's character Ren Serizawa?

I like how he literally just gets mentioned in one line in the novelization

But yeah that sounds about right. The Monarch Sciences profile for Serizawa made a big deal about how he kept his personal life a close secret so they’re probably going to make that a plot point in GvK

I have an image in my head of Kong and Godzilla on Skull Island duking it out with all the other monsters standing in a circle watching the action unfold.

Kind of like a Beyond Thunderdome feel...but with monsters.

Case-in-point, Logan is a farrrrr better movie than pretty much every other Fox superhero movie, despite the fact that it was the most contained (actually, it's the only one I truly enjoy). Same with Winter Soldier, Civil War, and the first Iron Man. KotM gave us something huge, now how about we just see Godzilla fighting Kong? I know pretty much everybody here hates me now for a multitude of reasons but I'm just speaking the truth: most of your ridiculous wet dreams will never make a better movie than just Godzilla fighting Kong. This is like if Civil War decided to introduce Doctor Doom or something.

And all of these ideas about some uber-powerful planet-destroying Hedorah, Destoroyah, SpaceGodzilla, or planet-sized Biollante make me cringe. There is no reason or real solid way to go any larger than King skreeonking Ghidorah whose presence alone made for a better apocalypse movie than the entirety of Roland Emmerich's 2012 (which is one of the worst sci-fi movies I've ever watched, but it just came to mind as an example).

I didn't think he insulted you. But hey, what do I know.

Is a Tommy Wiseau movie that bad an idea?

saying "what planet are you from" seems like an insult to me. But i don't wanna split hairs.

Though Tommy Wiseau Godzilla is an interesting thought no doubt! :P

Well I would just laugh it off if someone said what planet are you from. Its not like he called you asshole or a fuckstick. That might be a little insulting. But I guess our mileage varies on sensitivity to forum language.

And yes Tommy Wiseau. Lets make this happen

It's not an insult.

It's a general statement that I have no idea why the fuck any kaiju fan would somehow think a big-budget Hollywood movie with just Godzilla and King Kong, the two most famous movie monsters of all time, is in any way boring. And why so many fans feel the need to keep adding-on a bunch of other unnecessary BS like the other titans egging-on fights (similar to the beach scene in the 1984 Karate Kid) which will only bloat the plot in a movie which should have otherwise just been Godzilla fighting Kong.

Like, I can't even.

still think it's best we keep away from each other in case something like this happens again.

Because the way KOTM ended clearly implies more than just Kong and Godzilla will be in, as well as affect, the plot.

If only we had a good idea of how the story could play out, then we would have an actual reason to keep projecting ourselves.

As long as the climax and main plot is just Godzilla fighting Kong with no teamups while not becoming too stupid and cheesy, fine. I don't mind more titans in the movie, but I don't want anything too stupid like Godzilla and Kong leading titans into battle like Captain America and Thanos. Or titans sitting back watching the fights like the citizens watching the final battle of Spiderman 3 which still hurts to watch to this day because of how dumb and cringe it is.

But I have a sneaking suspicion that this movie will have Spiderman 3 levels of cringe and ridiculousness in it. I don't know why, but I'm getting this bad feeling. Like I'm talking full-on emo Peter Parker and "stupid people portrayed by awful actors watching the fights" levels of cringe. I hope I'm wrong.

yeah i can kinda understand things like that. i'm expecting some cheesy things but to much of it could soil the film. same reason why a lotta people don't like Final Wars.

Come to think about it, wonder if some people got turned off from KOTM because they thought it was to cheesy.
