How Godzilla X Kong 3 Will FIX The MonsterVerse!

Adjusted for inflation, Godzilla 2014 earned $702,041,831. Does this mean we need to return to a darker tone? - Alastair

[@Bucksturdie]

Frankly anything would be better than GxK. As much as I wanted to like it, (and I really did want to. I enjoyed GvK) it turned out to be the most contrived, rushed nonsense which had as much substance and made as much sense as a unicorn farting out a bubblegum rainbow. A complete non entity of a bad guy with zero development or threat, taken care of in a brief handbags at dawn showdown. Kong is severely injured? Let me whip out this magic glove I just happen to have conveniently stashed in my back pocket and fix him up in 20 seconds flat. Big G needs an upgrade? Go sushi up another titan, magically cover himself in 500ft of ice, evolve into new ultra form and break free in, what, 20 minutes? Rushed, badly written, horribly edited nonsense. I'm all for turning the braincells off and enjoying some monster rampage, but that was just awful.

[@The_Cholosseum]

@@Bucksturdie it was Godzilla movie at peak....pure monster fighting Vintage godzilla like movie. No plot or anything needed, just fighting. Now in a godzilla solo movie, sure we can get more story... but when godzilla is sharing the screen, it needs yo be just fighting. That's how most godzilla movies are

[@jcwin228]

It seems to me the Monsterverse has 2 big problems. 1) It has a case of Dragonball-itis. Godzilla has to keep powering up to match each leveled-up threat. It's getting old. 2) The Hollow Earth, while an interesting concept, has taken over the Monsterverse. Every new monster has to come from there, or we have to go back there to get the next Mcguffin. So, in every movie, we have to go back to hollow earth. It's limiting the storytelling. It's the same problem with Marvel and the Multi-verse. Once you open that Pandora's box, you can't close it again. Once you've introduced a hollow earth or multi-verse, you can't ignore it anymore. Just my take

[@DangerVille]

Agreed, I like the hollow earth, but they should be inventive instead of using it as a scapegoat. It feels like the MV was more inventive when the HE was just a way for them to travel round. Hopefully the next villain isn’t just another ancient alpha titan.

[@Martan2010]

i feel like we need a movie that takes place before GvK but after 2014 more grounded stuff, darker tone and more mysteries (no i do not know if its better before or after KotM)

[@dylanmagoiofthethalasso4032]

I agree

[@ManSpider92]

He needs to be given an opponent that feeds off of radiation. One that is empowered by his atomic breath. Forcing Godzilla to actually fight for his life to survive. Even side effects of reverting him back to an altered state where he looks like his original design. Godzilla feels too overpowered each time where threats feel like an afterthought. He needs a reset.

I'm glad that you’re talking about worldbuilding. I believe worldbuilding is an important aspect of a cinematic universe, and it's unfortunate that the MonsterVerse hasn't focused on it. For instance, their advanced technology raises questions. How was this technology acquired? Is it available to the entire world, or is it restricted to Monarch? Other aspects to consider are how the world is coping with the presence of monsters, but you get the idea.

Another issue is that we're STILL continuing with the non solo film approach. At this time we got plenty of Godzilla and Kong sharing the screen and it's gonna be almost a decade of this once GxK 3 comes out. We need to go back to solo films!

[@curlyq1305]

Honestly, I missed those Godzilla scenes where he lets out a big, loooong, dramatic roar. I get that the recent movies have been kong centered. But I still want to hear his iconic roar.

Ok, first off, like 99% of us have been Godzilla and King Kong fans since we were kids. This whole Monsterverse thing has been a fun ride. I don't need the people lore in this as much. Let Toho keep rockin' that aspect. My favorite entry in the Monsterverse was KOTM. I really have enjoyed all them though. 2014 was good, but if you use fast forward to all the good parts, the movie is only 20 minutes long. But I get it. In these times of social media, not everyone is gonna be happy. Oh well, is what I say. IMO, the Iwi (skull island or hollow earth) are a billion times better than the Xillians ever were. There is no fix to what really isn't broken. Honestly, can't we just all say... "This is a great time to be a giant monster fan." Because I'm just sitting back enjoying this roller coaster of great movies.

[@calebprescott440]

[@joshbates6274]

I feel like people are nitpicking with their issues with latest monsterverse movies. They were more focused on the MONSTERS story, not the humans story, hence less focus on how annoyed/upset etc the humans are and it was nice to get a feel for what the monsters are going through, they are the main characters after all. The world building is pretty much done besides twists to shake things up, which is what every movie has to and has been doing. Going back to human effects too much will be a huge negative in my opinion. It will be HARD to find the perfect middle ground, but we don't want super focus on humans and only 5 minutes of monsters in a 90-120 minute movie.

[@Nael.]

We need: Godzilla to become the main star again. Kong retire. Godzilla become blue again. Madison Russell return and have a connection to Godzilla similar to Jia and Kong. more Toho kaiju. Kotm tones.

[@jeevan8614]

I feel unlike Minus n Shin, Monsterverse movies aren't about humans. The Monsters are the protagonists. Adam did a great job emotionally connecting audience with Kong in his previous films. I want more of it. The world building stuff is a nice touch too but I don't want them to carried away with it too much. I want the Kaiju's to be the focus.

[@Dirteater123]

To correct you , Monsterverse IS about humans because we are there to UNCOVER their secrets and nature so we need the humans + the Monsterverse feels more real with the humans , Adam did something that ruined everything that 2014, KSI and KOTM accomplished by just going for the action , titanonly and fights.

[@jeevan8614]

@@Dirteater123 Humans r just subplots. Even in the most darker MV film, we don't see how many got destroyed in the battle. All we do is celebrate Hero Godzilla when at the end he wakesup, does a final roar and swims into the ocean just like how Spidey does final swing or Batman drives off in the climax. Monsters are always been the protagonists. I'm not saying we don't need humans. Their perspective is important too but the main focus is always should be the Kaijus. For more humans we got MV TV shows.

[@nothingatall162]

[@jaysonjones237]

I made this suggestion in the previous video, but if Legendary is unable to tell the past stories of Godzilla and the other Titans due to budgetary concerns, they can tell them through either a comic miniseries (like "Skull Island: Birth of Kong") or release a Monsterverse Encyclopedia (in the vain of "The World of Kong: A Natural History of Skull Island"). Seriously, it's not that hard to create a timeline of past events and make some adjustments if need be.

Personally, I do not care if we get more serious films or more goofy, Shōwa-esque films. The thing I want to see Grant Sputore do is give us better humans. People keep complaining about the humans in the Monsterverse, and want more monsters. They don't actually want more monsters, they really just want better humans. The reason that Kong: Skull Island is my favorite Monsterverse film is because they have a good balance between good humans and good monsters. Godzilla 2014 has great humans, but not so great monster action (this is of course my opinion) and KOTM is the opposite. Not so great humans, and great monster action. (again, this is my opinion.) GvK and GxK kind of both have decent humans and pretty good monster action. Especially GxK. GxK is my second favorite MV film, but it still has problems. In conclusion, I don't really care about the tone. I just care about the quality rather than the quantity. O yeah, and we need more Godzilla focused movies again rather than Kong focused films.

@@seangill2522 Space Godzilla is just stupid. He doesn’t have any wings, yet he flies around like an elf. The crystals are just dumb. Destroyah is a different story, but even if they use him they’re gonna have to dial back a couple of his powers because they’re not gonna translate into anything but a goofy man in costume Toho flick. To be honest, the thing that would translate really well is the Griffin idea that they wanted to use for the American Godzilla sequel. Having an organism on an asteroid land on earth and sample the local wildlife only to create an abomination out of them is nowhere near as out there as Godzilla skin cells going through a black hole and turning into a flying elf.

On top of me wanting the next movie to be darker and have it focus on Godzilla, I would also like to see Godzilla's evolved form be utilised better. I llike what Adam was going for with the Evolved design, especially with the elbow spikes and the thagomizer, but I feel he didn't do a good job at utilising them in Godzilla's fights. In the next movie, Godzilla could use his elbow spikes and thagomizers to slash his opponents or use them like mini dorsal plates which allow him to use charged hits.

I think it's definitely time we take a break from the more light-hearted tones of GvK and GxK (which is funny because GvK had a very little silly moments in it compared to it's successor but I digress). However, there is a downside to going back to the seriousness of the earlier Monsterverse films: tonal whiplash. If they don't play their cards right and go back into the serious tone very abruptly, then that's going to turn audiences away and the film won't be successful. Would it be like watching the movie Rampage then you turn around and start watching War for the Planet of the Apes right after. They have to gradually get people back into the grounded feel if they truly want to be serious again. You can't just throw it out there and expect people to be automatically on board with a serious film after the last one. Not that I don't have a hope for this new movie, just being cautiously optimistic.

I've seen so many people talk about films like Venom or Five Nights at Freddy's, saying the films would be so much better if they were rated R.

The writing, the pacing and the characters HAVE to be good first, otherwise the dark aspects of your film will be rendered mute.

[@SMM5]

Given all these points, a King Ghidorah movie sounds like exactly what we’d need. It’d explore where Ghidorah came from, how it came to earth, and we’d see more of him and Godzilla’s rivalry. Not to mention the lore it could add You know how it’s theorized that Mars was once able to sustain life like earth, and we don’t really know why that’s not the case now? A lore piece I would add in the MonsterVerse is that Ghidorah was responsible for that, and that Mars is what Earth would’ve looked like if he succeeded in King of the Monsters We’d get the terror aspect back because, let’s be honest, there is NO way you can do a Ghidorah movie without him being portrayed as worthy of fear (especially with how much of a menace he was in the 2019 movie), there wouldn’t be a ton of humans (not that we’d need any; that whole interaction between Kong and Skar King alone proves they’re skilled enough to tell a story without them), and it’d expand a lot on the lore and add weight to King of the Monsters.

I think that Godzilla x Kong answered the questions which Godzilla vs. Kong gave its audience about why Godzilla was so angry at Kong in particular, where Kong's species went and why they disappeared, and how Ghidorah got frozen in the ice, but I agree that, now that the Hollow Earth mystery has been fully explored, it is time to start setting up a new story arc to keep the MonsterVerse from becoming too stagnant. Basically, I feel that Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong was the Avengers of the Monsterverse and tied up all the loose ends up to this point, but now it's time to start setting up their "Infinity Saga."

[@slaydro33]

Imo I liked the past two movies very much! As a Kong fan, I loved that my dude was shown love on his own stories. But now that Kong has finally reached his goal of finding his family. I can say as a fan that I am also fulfilled on Kong’s story. So for me, to save the monsterverse. I think it’s time for the movie to go back to the separate paths they were on in the beginning. Godzilla having his own movies and Kong having his own as well. I feel like having both is killing the hype for something really big that is to come. Kong imo won’t be needed for a while since he’s going to grow his family/army. But for Godzilla, possibilities are endless. Idk that’s just my opinion tho

I prefer to see this much more serious for a Godzilla film and bringing in destroyah would be to early for him to appear in the next film

[@Ezilla82]

I'm thinking more of both dark and grim with a hint of silliness sprinkle in, but that's just me.

[@Godzilla-tu2cd]

Is the movie gonna be more serious in tone probably. More grounded I highly doubt it. Just because this director did a serious movie a few years ago doesn't mean that he's gonna continue doing the same thing. He might wanna switch things up and wanna make the movie he wants to make. All the previous directors been doing this since this series started. All I'm saying is Let's wait and see.

[@Kai-cv9rs]

We kinda need more of the consequences of the backlash of each titan event and to explore more of hollow earth. Mostly the next film needs to be Godzilla focused

[@mackjeezy8929]

First people wanted less humans now y’all are asking for them to basically be the main plot point make up your mind pls guys. While I get what the video is saying about needing more exposition which I too feel it’s needed it’s just funny to see people mad at the very thing they caused. I remember a lot of people saying just make it basically monster WWE and forget the humans, we got just that and now look. 😂

[@Internettractor]

I want more stuff like King of The Monsters. The characters were alright and the monster fights looked great. The only thing it was missing was monster screen time.

[@LectorTheKing12]

Darker tones but please just show the entire fights and the titans without cutting to human drama. That's the main reason GvK and GxK were so popular and

[@adamwilder2943]

I think the next Monsterverse movie needs to be more grounded and less silly, and to show a greater depth of the Kaiju world and lore included

[@groudonor12]

But that was GXK. What you're demanding was what GXK was providing even more so..

[@adamwilder2943]

@groudonor12 You do provide a good point there

[@TheGreatAbaddon]

I don't understand why dangerville thinks the monsterverse is so bad. They released a video after minus 1 saying the monsterverse was in trouble, even though it was a huge success. And now this is there 2nd video saying it needs to be saved? Are we watching the same movies?

Did you miss the entire opening of me saying we love these movies? You can still be critical of things you like.

[@TheGreatAbaddon]

@@DangerVille im not trying to say " you guys suck" or anything like that. But you're videos are critical, which is ok, even though it feels like it's too much. Why does the monsterverse need to be fixed?

[@DangerVille]

I explain that in terms of world building the MonsterVerse has fallen flat compared to previous entries, which most people can agree with.

[@groudonor12]

​@@DangerVilleI would disagree with that actually, I think the Monsterverse has reached heights where Toho has been too scared to cross. The Monsterverse has to pick up the slack that Toho had left...

[@shiningfox6382]

Bro I just want single movies. These X movies are showing mostly only Kong

[@miguelcruz4028]

Look I get your point, I like the last movie a lot because we got a lot of fights and more creative in my opinion. The problem that I have with what your saying is to provide a more focused on the human and how they feel of this monster destroying everything. I personally have never care for that type of things I want to know more about the titan and we're they came from what will happend to them. I don't care for people in this universe, and I think is kinda generic when people do that I want a film that is more creative show me the story of the titian true their eyes let them tell us what happend. Lest humans involved the better

[@DominoDoginater]

Well, they could start by making it a SOLO Godzilla film. I've had my fill of that bug ah Monke.

[@CaptainKotetsu]

You guys hit it right home in the last video; From Dark, gritty, and immersive to Looney Tunes meets WWE. The first few films were so revered and successful because they were special.

[@matteomastrodomenico1231]

Yeah, but not because of the grounded tone

[@kaijufan2001]

Personally I am happy with the Monsterverse's goofiness and fun, but I do not mind changes in aspects such as worldbuilding and better humans so long as it does not come at the Monsters expense and affects their time to shine. A major complaint many people had in the past was cutting away from the Titan action to go back to more humans, GxK and GvK delivered on the kaiju action we have been craving for a long time now, there was no constant cutting away from the Titan action. I think a perfect type of balance would be the world building from Kotm combined with the action that we got in GvK/GxK. Continue on world and lore building with better humans but do not make the titans feel like an afterthought or constantly cut away from their time to shine just to go back to more humans. That was a huge if not the biggest complaint back then was cutting titan time away to go back to the humans which frustrated people, instead give time for worldbuilding and lore building with the humans and then the time with the Titans, focus entirely on them and their action sequences so that way you find that balance, we get the world and lore building and we get that Titan action we pay to go see. Neither aspect will suffer and there won't be as much complaining about how there are either too many humans that it gets boring because the monsters feel like an afterthought or too many monsters, not enough human development. overall a mix between Kotm and GvK/GxK I think would be the best way to improve upon certain aspects in the Monsterverse. You get your world and lore building while giving the kaiju proper screentime and action. Pacific Rim I feel did it best when it came to such a balance, we got our human characters, the world building of how the world faced the kaiju threat, and when it came time for the monsters themselves, we got plenty of that kaiju action people paid to go see, they did not shy away from giving the monsters their time to shine and the humans did not suffer either.

[@ronniepatterson2827]

Fix the Monsterverse? GxK was the highest grossing film of the franchise. Secoond in popularity only to Dune 2 for months on end. Legendary isnt gonna stray from what casual audiences want, in favor of lore or whatever, just to please a minority within the fan base. 👀

[@DangerVille]

Improving the lore and world building is the priority. They can keep making these fun GxK toned adventures, as long as the world building is better. Though 2014 still earned more than GxK adjusted for inflation (which is $702,041,831) so 2014 still appealed to a wider audience.

[@ronniepatterson2827]

@@DangerVille I hear what you are saying, the fact is, with 2014 earning so much, keep in mind that that was the first Godzilla film since 1998 with curiosity putting folks in seats, not to mention Bryan Cranston at his peak popularity putting folks in seats. Godzilla is more popular than ever, thanks to Adam Wingard, not Garreth Edwards full stop. So do you guys remember it was just us hardcore fans into this stuff, with most folks laughing at us for loving Godzilla before Adam Wingard made Edwards look bad by comparion "Edwards words not mine btw". I personally LOVE Wingards Showa style has WalMart, & Target ordering Godzilla merch by the truckload weekly. How you guys arent seeing the progress unfold is beyond me. To each thier own, I guess? Be careful what you wish for Dangerville.

[@cretaceousthehunted9669]

Here’s what I want to see: 1. Godzilla 2014 model. It’s more grounded and has green and yellow colors (as shown in the G14 VFX breakdown and bonus features. Giving Godzilla a green color makes him more dinosaurian and reptilian. 2. More Godzilla screen time. The last two films were more Kong-centered while Godzilla was kind of shoved to the wayside. Don’t get me wrong, I like Kong, I just like Godzilla better and he’s the main character of the Monsterverse.

[@chadael622]

Hell naw dawg keep the design the same

[@SMAS_YT]

Rodan

[@Havok91]

@Masterpeelseditz We already know that the Evolved design won't be around for long, but we could easily blend it with the 2014 designs, giving Godzilla a bit more weight back, while still being more toned than KOTM and GvK. The dorsals also could remain mostly the same, with them MAYBE becoming slightly more straight. Best of both of the best Legendary Goji designs.

Alastair, that's pretty disingenuous. You praised Wingard and interviewed him talking about the excitement knowing what was in the film with the leaks.

The monsterverse is not meant to be dark, it’s a callback to the shows era, especially the newer movies, I think the movies are doing just fine. I don’t want an evil Godzilla, it’s different from minus one for a reason. Also, hollow earth is a great place made for this universe, as it is another locating for story building, city destruction gets boring eventually

[@psychoticgamer6855]

yup the leaks are getting out of hand, and honestly I HATE that toho made this decision. I liked how legendary showed gojira as a species since it gives more depth to the character and the fact that the great titan war solidified this I was happy. But now due to this decision in order to make godzilla "godly" will be a huge letdown and Kong would be also be downplayed AGAIN since he will be no "god". IMO godzilla as species felt facinating and real that how this creature came to be.smh

The potential of this upcoming film is pretty good and it's something that mechagodzilla should have been saved for (like his role in GVK was cool and all and it was a cool robot design but as a mechagodzilla he felt kind of short in my opinion in with a better design he could really shine in that is film and it's too bad they've already used him)
