Godzilla Minus One outdoes the MonsterVerse.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The trailer for Godzilla Minus One leans into the horror elements of the franchise and, in the process, offers viewers a glimpse of the potential of the MonsterVerse franchise. Legendary's MonsterVerse franchise started strong with 2014’s Godzilla.
These naysayers got what they wanted with 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Directed by Michael Dougherty, the sequel was sillier, faster, and nowhere near as interested in the human cost of Kaiju attacks. Then, in 2021, Godzilla vs. Kong fared better with critics by almost entirely abandoning any attempts at developing its human characters. Directed by Adam Wingard, this bruising blockbuster was mostly devoted to the eponymous battle between its two titans.
In Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla: King of the Monsters, it was tough to tell whether the titular Kaiju was intended to be a villain or a bizarre antihero. Godzilla has always had a tragic streak, but when the MonsterVerse forgot to focus on its human characters, the franchise made him almost likable. This detracted from the horror of the series as viewers were left rooting for the ostensible villain.
Godzilla Minus One Lays Down A Challenge For Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire The next MonsterVerse movie, 2024's Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, will need to impress since it arrives hot on the heels of Godzilla Minus One. These close release dates allow for increased comparisons from Godzilla fans where Godzilla: King of the Monsters was lucky enough to arrive three years after 2016’s deservedly acclaimed Shin Godzilla.
