Quick Thoughts #2 - Legendary's Monsterverse Kinda Rocks!

Who knew that Japan would let Hollywood take another crack at Godzilla? I wasn’t totally clamoring for it back in the day, and this is coming from someone who thought 1998’s Godzilla was alright. Yeah, it really lacked the “GOD” part, but it was a fun monster movie at least. It even had a cool animated series.

Unlike what we got before, Legendary brought the might and power of the monster to the big screen in a cool way. I’ve seen both Godzilla films in theaters and would’ve seen GVK in theaters if COVID wasn’t a problem at the time. I held off on Kong: Skull Island though. While I like King Kong, I’m not as much a fan of the gorilla. So, here are some quick thoughts on Legendary’s Monsterverse movies. I just realized that I haven’t really talked about them here. I’m always been like that with Godzilla though, so it fits.

 

Favorites - 12 Favorite Opponents from the Godzilla Franchise

I couldn’t just stop at one post about Godzilla, couldn’t I? I also realized that while I like the big monster, I’ve barely talked about him here, so here we go for a bit of a stint. I could say that it’s RANDOM THOUGHTS’ HALLOWEEN GODZILLATHON or something. There is one story I definitely want to cover here (Godzilla: Half-Century War), but I gotta find the dang book. So, here’s something else for y’all.

Godzilla is one monster that sits in an interesting position. He’s been a villain, a hero, and even something in between. The monster’s still gone up against a variety of adversaries. He’s gone up against other giant monsters, aliens, the environment, and humanity itself. So, who are my favorite Godzilla opponents? I have to go with this wording because the G-Man hasn’t always been the hero of the movie. It’s not in particularly any order, but the best ones will be up at top.
