Adam Wingard Says What Everybody Is Thinking With ‘MonsterVerse’ Movies
Despite having a pretty lackluster story, “Godzilla vs. Kong” was a fun movie that should be a huge hit. All of the monster stuff is awesome and it might be the best out of all of the recent “MonsterVerse” movies. However, it’s not without its problems. The human characters are mostly there for no reason whatsoever. So little effort is given to developing interesting human stories in these films that it just seems pointless to even add them in. Why can’t we just have a 90-minute movie with Kong and Godzilla fighting things most of the time?
If that sounds impossible, the director of “Godzilla vs. Kong” Adam Wingard would like to see it soon.
“I think Godzilla vs. Kong is the first time that we’ve really truly been able to have full sequences where the film leaves the humans and stays with the monsters, just like any other character,” told Entertainment Weekly, via We Got This Covered. “That’s a big breakthrough VFX-wise and even story-wise. If there’s another MonsterVerse movie, in my opinion, it should be the first full-on monster film. I would say, 30% humans, the rest monsters, basically flipping the formula of what a lot of these movies generally are. I think people are ready for it.”
What Wingard is pitching sounds way more interesting than forcing Millie Bobbie Brown into a movie and having no real purpose. The human stories in all of these movies are almost always lackluster. It’s time to put the focus on the monster.
