Yeah, Giant Monsters All Out Attack is the only one where Godzilla is 100% unquestionably evil and out to wreck humans. Everything else he's more or less a wandering beast and humanity just happens to be caught in its way

Godzilla: King of the Monsters - Official Trailer #2
- Thread starter MasterYoshi
- Start date
I very much prefer Godzillas on the spectrum between neutral and evil. 2014 was giving me true neutral vibes at first which pleased me but then they started throwing around GODZILLA OUR HERO 💖 at the end which tipped the scales a bit. They talk about him being nature neutral but emotionally they depict him as our big bro. It's not my favorite but it's still a valid interpretation.
I think it's good when he's just as likely to fuck up your city as the next monster and his only saving grace is that he's a territorial asshole. I think the heisei era probably did the best job at that balance.
I wonder how they'll tackle that balance in this new movie.
But my top favorite is evil as fuck Godzillas which would be inappropriate for this american series. I love Shin and GMK.
He feels that way and generally I agree that Shin is depicted to be an evil Godzilla, but really its motivations could be debated if you want to get into details. Especially when digging into the themes and ideas surrounding Goro Maki. When taking that stuff into account it becomes more of a sympathetic villain situation. At times you can even pity the creature. But in general tone, yes, Shin feels super evil.

Nah, I don't think so. I think in that movie he falls more into the "force of nature/wandering beast" category since almost everything he does is out of defense or retaliation.
Plus if the lyrics to the song played during the atomic breath scene mean anything, he's definitely not evil
Yeah, that trailer with the Oppenheimer quote is still the best Godzilla trailer ever ...I still liked the 2014 movie version but it was a different movie compared to that trailer and I still want to see this version of Godzilla on the big screen
Who else thinks Rodan could end up stealing the show in this? He seems all but unstoppable in the few clips we've seen, and considering that back in '65 he was, if anything, an even more serious rival to Godzilla than Ghidorah, it wouldn't be without precedent. Dude certainly wasn't above fighting dirty:
He looks evil but Shin probably doesn't even know where he's going or what he's even doing; for the most part he walks and engages in self defense
How was he evil? Shin Godzilla wasn't even a Godzillasaurus, it was just a mindless zombie thing made out of a collection of radiated ocean micro organisms (as a MST I find this particularly hilarious in a head shaking way as that is the same origin as the goofball creatures in the MST3K episode "Horror of Party Beach" which also happen to have googly ping pong ball eyes like Shin's awful design) lumbering around on autopilot and wasn't presented as any kind of thinking creature. I seriously hated Shin Godzilla, not even exaggerating when I say that the only incarnation of Godzilla I dislike more is GINO from '98 and the movie overall just had a weird, unsatisfying feel to it not to mention awful acting, dumb characters and terrible attempts at humor. Keep your Attack of Titan humanoid mutations and Eva (no disrespect to either) outta my Goji.
Exactly, not sure how anyone could see Shin as evil when he doesn't seem to even have any real self awareness. lol

Im so sad that the movie we got doesn'tt top anything in this teaser. Every shot and the overall tone in this is what i would like to see in a movie like this.
Godzilla was "evil" in Godzilla 54, GMK, Godzilla 84/85, Godzilla vs The Thing/Mothra (first one in 62 I believe) Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (the one during Hesia and two in Millennium) and King Kong vs Godzilla.
Everything else he was a good guy.

I really like the plot of these monsters waking up specifically as a reaction to Godzilla waking up. Really do not like the Rodan design, though.
I really hope it is not contained to intros or a 15-minute fight.
I mean he was really evil in GMK and he just killed everyone.
Until he was soo evil and then this happened

This trailer confirms the plot leak
Are you five? No one is stopping you from going and enjoying this movie. Grow up.
I expected better looking CGI?
Snark is beyond unnecessary, you folks have serious maturity issues. How do you function IRL?
ON TOPIC: I think I'm over CGI showdowns with impossible camera angles and wonky physics. I don't think there's much box office proof that audiences aren't either. There are ways to ground CGI to retain a sense of realism or hide the imperfections of its implementation. Hopefully KOTM does so.
EDIT: Plot leak sounds wonderfully ludicrous.

Man oh man what a difference watching it on your TV makes and actually the whole trailer not looking super dark. This movie is going to be incredible.
There is just so much going on, is it May yet?
I listened to Kinda Funny morning show today and they hated it, probably the only people I found on the internet today that did.

The Netflix CG movies have him as evil as fuck or at least a very focused threat against humanity. King Ghidorah is actually looking to be the "hero" of those movies funny enough.
This is 100% accurate (Except I didn't see a post credits scene, but I assume it's legit since the rest is). DO NOT click if you don't want to be spoiled.
What are the chances of Kong showing up in the end of the movie to help Godzilla take down Ghidora?
I just realized Kyle Chandler's in this he's gonnna save the day. Also very underrated actor
He was in the Peter Jackson King Kong movie and he was an asshole in that.
Godzilla's alignment really changes film from film. He's been the savior to earth from a Neutral force to downright evil like in GMK. Even when he was more neutral like in Godzilla 1985 he was still burning people alive.
I generally prefer the version that's pissed off at humanity for nuking him and is retaliating against them. In the original film he was only confined to Odo Island for years and didn't appear in Japan until after getting nuked.

That honestly sounds awesome, and as corny as the old Godzilla films. If this is true, I'm very happy with the direction that this series is going in.
Lol some of this sounds stupid as fuck even for a Godzilla movie "Long live the King". Woof that's a turd of a line.

Man this looks dope af. And I really liked the last Godzilla and loved Kong skull island.
Can anyone tell me if the Netflix animated Godzilla's are any good? Looks like their are two.

The first movie is ok. The second is a lot better because its a lot more exciting and everything was already established in the first. There will be a third film coming out soon and I think that's it. It also has probably the strongest and over the top version of Godzilla out there.
