In a new interview reported on Godzilla-Movies.com, "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" director/co-writer Mike Dougherty revealed he's approaching the giant creatures in his May 2019 film not as mindless destroyers, but more as unique lifeforms with distinct impressions of humanity:

"In the original former Godzilla series, there is a wonderful scene in which Mothra encourages both Godzilla and Rodan to fight King Ghidorah, and the small twin fairies translate that exchange (From 'Ghidorah The Three Headed Monster' 1964). Looking at it, the monsters exhibit individuality and intelligence, each one having different viewpoints and ideas about the human race. Even in my movies, the monsters that just seem to bark actually have emotions, thoughts, and feelings. I wanted to tell as much I could, as I continued to tell the crew that they're not just monsters, but living creatures with character."



Dougherty went on to reveal that the oxygen destroyer, the device which killed Godzilla in the original 1954 film, will play a role.

"It appears as an important key item to the story, this is not a cameo...Of course there will also be other weapons created by humanity that will be shown."


This has lead Godzilla-Movies.com to speculate that we may also see the monster Destoryah, which was created by the same device, in the upcoming film. Time well tell...in a few short months!

"Living creatures with character"

I like the sound of that, good to know that this monsterverse filmmakers don't look at these monsters just as mere monsters, but indeed characters that are part of a story, just like many of the Toho movies do.

Hope these movies continue so we can see more of these monsters under this point of view, and personally i really hope it goes as far as to get a Biollante rendition, looking at what they've done with the main 3 on King of The Monsters, has me curious at what they could do with Biollante, but time will tell :)

It's creepy to think these gigantic monsters have a perspective on people when you think about it.

Honestly these statements from the director give me hope that the movie will be as good as the trailer. However, I concerned for the quality of Godzilla vs Kong since the guy in charge directed Death Note for Netflix.....
