An interesting analysis of GvK’s place in the industry’s recovery as the COVID-19 pandemic emergency wound down sufficiently that theatres reopened.

Godzilla vs. Kong eventually earned $470 million worldwide, making it a true, unqualified success. It was the first sign that en masse moviegoing could still exist in whatever our new normal would look like.

My guess is, they aren't going to reconcile anything. It's a "small screen, small scale stories; big screen, SO MANY MONSTER FIGHTS" rationale.

I'm watching the movie now, and it's as bad as I remember. Never mind the inner inconsistencies, but every line from Bernie is insulting. Nothing against Brian Tyree Henry, it's the writing. On the heels of awful DIY covid remedies, here is a character that advocates showering with bleach.

Oh, and I had to look up one of his looney phrases, "breakaway civilisation"... I wish I'd used a VPN, I'm on so many watchlists now.

This one is coming up on my rewatch list.

I’ll resist looking that stuff up.
