Is there any movie opinion more wrong-headed than sayingthatGodzillaisntmyGodzilla?
Heck, it is absolutely okay if the American Iguana monster Zilla is your jam.
pop cultures most versatile star.
Almost immediately, the movies became a delivery method for introducing new giant monsters for him to slug.
But the films downplayed those themes in favor of spectacle and fun.
In short, Godzilla movies have always been changing.
But Godzilla himself has not.
Part of this success comes from the simplicity of Godzillas purpose as a character.
Scream in terror at his arrival?
Cheer because hes about to pound some other monster?
Drive hard to the net?
Whatever story you want to tell can be done with Godzilla in it, and probably improved.
And yet, every single time Godzilla charges on the screen is awesome.
He smacks around his enemies with all the energy of a professional wrestler and we cheer every time.
And when Godzilla finds another lizard tyke to protect, well sigh in admiration.
Because it doesnt matter what you do.
Godzilla is always Godzilla, the King of the Monsters.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is now in theaters.
