    Exactly what blockbusters should be, I think. No pretending this or that moment was meaningful and liberatory. No strained thinkpieces. No ten-year, multi-platform backstory. Here's Godzilla. Here's Kong. They fight. Stuff blows up. Grab some popcorn. Give us money. https://twitter.com/GameSpot/status/1376613930928205824 …

        This would be quite the departure from Godzilla’s origin story.

        Godzilla is a work-pail, nine-to-five franchise constantly churning out entries. Most Kong movies are big prestige events. Doesn't scan.

        Jeet, what is PMC? I went to the free dictionary and that TLA (three letter acronym) list is as long as your arm.https://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/PMC

        Perhaps Godzilla v. Kong is a movie that contemplates a Faustian bargain to ally with the toxic masculinity of King Kong to defeat multinational corporations ravaging the planet

        (There is a multi-year backstory, told in, geesh, I can't believe it took it, but told in 3 previous movies.) I do agree they could have jumped right into it. Have some human shout: "Fight at the playground!" And action! 🎬https://twitter.com/RegalPastry/status/1376020848369356800 …

        Counterpoint: Kong joining Godzillla's setting is a rascist reaction from insecure white Americans because Japan invented a cooler giant monster.
