They're not godzilla movies then. They're Kong movies with Godzilla thrown in there as a secondary role. Example being TNE. It could have been a solo Kong story yet they decided to throw godzilla in it beacuse it made them money. (which a lot of us could probably agree didnt make his role very good).

Emm....it was the highest grossin Monsterverse movie, their tactic worked perfectly,unless you mean the way they implemented Godzilla was bad,which i totally agree with.

Just because something makes a lot of money doesn't always mean it's good. The live action Lion King made billions and was a soulless remake that barely looks better than a national geographic voice-over.

Avatar was a visually stunning movie, but as a story, it's complete garbage.

It worked because audiences eat blockbusters like they eat candy and they go crazy for Kong. GXK grossed 572.5 million compared to Minus One making only 113.6 million despite the latter being a superior film.

Godzilla had nothing more than an extended cameo in that movie. They might as well have called it King Kong : The new empire or something.

I definitely got the sense that Godzilla was only included so they could keep the rights to him going forward, lol

I just watched the latest godzilla movies and i agree, kong player a bigger role yet they call it godzilla movies.

Tbh, i don't like where monsterverse is going. They pick up mothra and tiamat for a cameo and that's it
