King of the Monsters will be the most incredible looking blockbuster this year. It's amazing how many frames are wallpaper material.

I recently watched Kong: Skull Island after picking up Godzilla 2014 for a rewatch. Is there a house style in these movies that they have adhered to? Kong felt like someone literally said “more of the good stuff from Godzilla ‘14 and less of the bad” and the crew just knew exactly how to do it. Hundreds of incredibly composed frames, like the air drop scene from G14 but they just made more of those sequences.

I slept on Skull Island a long time but it has me crazy excited for this new one.

Since there's only two movies so far, it's less house style and learning from what did and didn't work.

It just seemed so... confidently made up of those elements that worked. I guess those were some good early lessons. My thought was how much it evokes Apocalypse Now Meets The Lost Continent 70’s aesthetic. Was waiting for Rock Hudson or Doug McClure to show up.

Hey if it means that they're going to use wide shots to effectively convey scale and awe then I'm all for them refining their cinematography. Given how the best action movies in recent memory have focused on stuff like center shot and rule of thirds while using a steady camera, I'm happy that we're moving away from the Paul Greengrass "my cameraman has Parkinson's" method of action cinematography.

Naw, pterosaurs split off into their own genus from archosaur reptiles - like the dinosaurs and alongside them, but separately from them. The common ancestor of birds and pterosaurs would look more like a cross between a dog and lizard.

Vogt Roberts is just really good. But also combining his direction with Larry Fong who does Snyder's stuff - you're gonna get some beautiful shots based off what Gareth Edwards pulled off in Monsters and Godzilla. This is probably one of the most beautiful blockbuster series in years.

I do hope Sally Hawkins gets to do more than spout exposition about what the Kaiju are doing in this film. Or have her make all these assumptions about the monsters and then be proved wrong. Just don't make her "it's an intimidation tactic!" line her whole role in the movie.

Rodan may not be godzillas friend for life like Angurius but hes there when it counts. Hes the Piccolo to godzillas goku, even going so far as to help train his son in one of the later mechagodzilla movies.

Rodan is one of the few to be canonically any gender in general.

The first movie has a whole twist about there being two of them, a mating pair, and there's no real distinction between the male and female Rodan.

I always considered Angurius to be the Krillan to Godzilla's Goku myself :3:

Oh I think I was confused because I thought rodan was baby godzilla's mom in godzilla v mechagodzilla 2 but apparently the canon is that he's a 'protective older brother'

You know, I think Ghidorah is gonna have a very cruel personality, but there is a sense of humor and mischief. It’s not a comedy by any means, but there’s a certain sense of curiosity. Because in my mind he’s like Rip van Winkle. You know, he wakes up and he doesn’t recognize any of this world. You know, so he’s never seen a jet before, he’s never seen a tank, a ship, human beings with guns. And so there is a certain part of our world that he is curious about and puzzled by. You know, so that has to come across.
It's a credit to him and the animators that Ghidorah's personalities come through even from the short snippets we've seen.
