Godzilla King of the Monsters (2019)



Godzilla King of the Monsters last night. Had its moments. I dug the way they always had to touch the monsters... who wouldn't want to?

Lots of fun Easter eggs here:

Including:

Exorcist statue Pazuzu in Godzilla's recharge cave.

Two twin ladies for Mothra.

Hollow Earth was from Kong Skull Island (oh, that is why dude said it that way).

Rodan was "born" next to a volcano, and then sort of died in the volcano (forgot)... or at least his mate died.

- In the montage of news headlines and film clips that play under the movie’s closing credits, there’s a quick flash of a headline that says a second Mothra egg has been discovered. This could be either a mate to the first Mothra, who is killed in the film, or her son, who made his debut in Toho’s Rebirth of Mothra trilogy (1996-1998).

Mothra original was 1961, and she's at Outpost 61. =]

- Several of the Monarch scientific stations used to study the Titans are given numeric names that seem to correspond to the years that key Godzilla/kaiju movies were first released: Outpost 55 (Godzilla Raids Again), Outpost 61 (Mothra), Outpost 67 (Son of Godzilla), Outpost 75 (Terror of Mechagodzilla) and Outpost 91 (Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah) are the ones we caught.
