GODZILLA X KONG: NEW EMPIRE---teaser poster released for the sequel movie.


CityRaptor

Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

The movie looks fun and I even like the redesign, but Godzilla is slowly becoming just a sidekick in his own franchise.

I haven't seen this trailer but I wasn't really convinced with GvK due to its tone. I prefer a little more serious tones, although I was one of the few that genuinely loves KotM. I know it's got lots of (bad) jokes but the monsters were treated like awe inspiring creatures, in GvK I felt then more like super heroes/villains. Well I'll see how I feel when I eventually see the movie but I miss the 2014 vibe.

I like the trailer, and I'm not gonna jump into any negative conclusions about this film until I see it. I'm open to (most of) the ideas that the films present and I want see how this will go.

But there is one thing that I absolutely hate and it's ruining everything for me, Godzilla's new design.

It's awful!

WHY?! Why did they had to change his design AGAIN?! 2019-2021 design was peak! WHY?!

It looks like more dumb fun, which I guess is fine. Monarch and Minus One are more along the lines of what I want from the franchise right now.

Why PINK for Godzilla, though? a deep purple like Shin Godzilla would suit him better.

Idk what to say about this yet.

It looks like a whole bunch of nonsense. But thats going by the trailer.

But I feel the Legendary films are going to suffer a drop in quality with each new film after Godzilla King of the Monsters.   So I do not have too high of expectations for this one honrstly. :-X

Blade-of-the-Moon

From what all I've read, this is a KONG movie with Godzilla added in so it jives with what has been revealed up to this point. 

Red spines are probably a way for him to stand out and may only be a part of this film.

Not quite "hyped" yet for anything I'm seeing in it, Godzilla and Kong charging side by side is a bit odd feeling.

Something about this is feeling like a mix of Showa era goofiness, and the excessive Marvel-ization so many movies are doing these days (well the last one felt this way as well). While I enjoy the former, I don't as much with the latter. It is certainly getting stale at this point. Granted this was about the same tonally as the last one, so this isn't a particular consequence of this film.

Hard to believe this and Minus One are all part of the same franchise (never mind everything else that came before, more or less). Complete polar opposites. I suppose I could say the same about the 2014 film compared to where this series has gone as well. But well even the original Showa era started from the dark and serious 1954 film before getting goofier over time. Truly a little something for everyone I guess.

Now with that all out of the way, I must say I'm not really bothered with the pink? It's new, although it does feel similar to Shin Godzilla's purple, but they'll probably have some kind of reasoning for it.

Also some of the youtube comments are great, lol. One is comparing this film and Minus One to the Barbenheimer thing that happened in the summer, and while they haven't released at the same time, it's absolutely similar in a way I think. A lot of folks are asking for them to bring back the hilarious drop kick from that one Showa era film, and I'm partially inclined to agree. Quite a bit of infinity stones comments, and at least one Beastwars one. Also a ridiculous number of bots (or I'm assuming they are bots since they are spamming the same nonsense "I make better content" crap) responding to comments as well.

The spines are more like 1999's Godzilla 2000.


I did read one person on FB saying Godzilla is Breast Cancer Aware now..oy.

Just saw the trailer and all I could do was chuckle. Looks like a whole lot of dumb noise but as others have pointed out, you would be hard pressed to say that that  doesn't apply to most Godzilla movies.

It is interesting to see the parallels between the Showa era Godzilla movies and now Legendary, both starting off with a more grounded, somber films before slowly devolving into more and more ridiculous stories.

That said, if Minus One is champagne, then this is sure to be light beer. Not nearly as classy, but will do the job fine ;)
