The movie relied too much on exposition to build up the threat of Skar King and Shimo, and didn’t do enough with them on screen to reinforce those traits.
That's why Godzilla feels inconsequential in this movie. Half of his screen time is spent working towards powering himself up for a coming battle, then when that battle arrives, nothing happens to demonstrate why he needed to go through all of that prior effort, which makes most of his screen...
I've watched it at home now, and I enjoy it more than the first viewing, but it helped a lot not having hopes/expectations.
It has to be viewed as a Kong movie and let go of the idea of Godzilla being a main part of the story like in GxK.
I don't think Wingard moving on is a firing, he's...
I am blown away by the portrait improvements, they removed the sculpted tats, the horns are no TPM specific styles and not just generic horns like Battlefront, and the overall likeness is much better and the look of the mouth open head looks more realistic and more in line with the character.
