It’s cool but unless KG is telepathic there’s no way people would actually know that.

Plus it kind of robs KG of some agency and terror.

or if it goes to some dam keeping the weird half goofy half serious tone of gvk I just want to see something like

Why does it need to be a goofy tone? That doesn't add anything to the movie. Goofy tones only make action movies worse

To be real with everybody I don't think we need such a complex backstory for King Ghidorah. I think it's fine as is, and has never really needed to be more complex than what we get in films like GTTHM or the RoM trilogy.

Nothing super news worthy, but this article popped up on Godzilla's anniversary talking about the new Toho film & the franchise's recent overall success.

Goes into detail how successful GvK has been since release & bode well for the sequel.

Principal shooting is done
Interesting to see filming (even if not taking reshoots into account) done ~16 months away from release. Definitely for VFX reasons and also hopefully a good sign of all parties agreeing on what story/script they want early.

That's unlikely to be the final title, but it'd be funny if it was. Maybe it'll spawn a whole series.

I wouldn’t see why they would, unless they bring Mothra back into the fold.

I hope that’s not the title lol. At least add a subtitle to it… Godzilla and Kong: Battle of the Century… obviously not that but you get what I’m saying

If that is the title, I get why it would be. I doubt they will fight again given how the last movie ended, and calling it “Godzilla vs Kong” wouldn’t make sense if they aren’t going to fight again.

I just noticed that GvK apparently did surprisingly well in China. Considering that the Chinese government appears to be in the process of completely phasing out Hollywood movies, does that seem like it could potentially be a problem for this?

As long as none of the cast thinks Taiwan is a country or is pro-Tibet, or nobody makes a joke about Chinese people's knees, it shouldn't have a problem. Isn't there Chinese money behind Legendary today? If so, that should help, too.

[facetious]They should have a subtitle that alludes to the villain's identity. Something like Godzilla and Kong: The Dark Crystal. [/facetious]
