Yeah. And look what happened to him. If anything regarding this was missed in GvK, it was his son's hatred for Godzilla for being the one his dad died for. If not hating Serizawa himself for dedicating his life to the nuclear lizard and not being around in his life (assuming). Brooks in the Hollow Earth would have offered nothing substantial to the movie or the plot, and just put another character on screen that we wouldn't have even had time to care about. Unless you think he should have pulled a Serizawa and killed himself in order to save Kong or something in the Hollow Earth, which is just lame and lazy writing.Legendary Gojira wrote: ↑Sun Nov 06, 2022 8:18 am Serizawa was a contemporary of his.

Like all the complaints of not seeing the HE packed with kaiju. Why? They offer nothing to the plot. We know there's monsters down there because duh. There is a thing in movies called pacing.
"We didn't see Mother Long Legs! We didn't see Skull Crawlers! We didn't see this! We didn't see that!"
So? What exactly would they have done for the movie? I mean, you can swap out the Warbats for a quick fight with some SCs or something, sure. But the movie isn't about the HE. We got a glimpse of the wildlife down there (Warbats, Doug, the bug things, etc). We don't need to see the entire thing packed with kaiju like a busy day on main street. What purpose of the plot would Kong beating up the Warbats during his arrival, and then five minutes later, duking it out with a Mother Long Legs or a Skull Crawler have? It's just filler that'd make the movie longer. And chances are, would then eat into human time even more. Or, god forbid, cut into the actual battles we want to see (Godzilla vs. Kong). And I just know how every MV hater just loves to bitch about the human cast not getting enough screen time anymore. I can agree that it'd have been neat to see a web or something on a mountain, but to actually complain about it is just nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking.
And I'm also just going to point out we haven't seen the whole of the HE, and we probably never will. The scope of it has to be absolutely insane. God knows how many other "lost cities" are on the barriers between it and the surface world. It's comical that some seem to think the HE we saw is all there is. Just think of all the various biomes and ecosystems on the surface, from the Amazon rainforest to the Sahara desert. There's no reason to think the HE is any different, with each having its own unique animals and Titans.
"Why doesn't the HE look like it did in KOTM!!!!!???"
Well why TF doesn't the Australian Outback look like the Louisiana Bayou?
