I think we can all agree that Godzilla’s roar in these movies is awesome

Whoever comes up with the sound designs for the Monsterverse deserves a pay raise

"It's a movie called 'Godzilla vs Kong.' If you go in expecting arthouse cinema, you have no one to blame but yourself"

I wish the other Monsterverse films went with the B-movie slasher vibe that Kong: Skull Island had. The first 20-30 minutes are slow, but once they get to the island it was a blast from beginning to end. Really underrated entry, imo.

2014 still is the only one to give me literal fear and anxiety in the theaters. I’m talking about the boat end scene, the muto first hatching scene during the goggles, and the train track scene. Shit had my heart beating. Amazing direction by edwards there.

Gareth Edwards : Suspense Jordan Vogt : Story Michael Dougherty : Majesticness Adam Wingard : ACTION

Is it just me or does Godzilla charging his atonic breath sound cool as hell

I still remember getting a little scared when Godzilla was roaring in the G14 but I was still 6 and didn’t know what Godzilla was

#ContinueTheMonsterverse literally all I f*cking want. At least 3 more

Monsterverse movies: big monster fight other big monster *everyone liked that*

I think the point of switching to the human view is a way of making us the audience also get scared of these monsters , i mean its really immersive because we don't know anything more than the human characters

The Mosterverse for me is getting better and better with each movie, I hope it continues.

I didn’t mind the darkness during the fights in KOTM, given that it’s still visible enough, and that the storm actually make Ghidorah much more intimidating by how powerful he’d have to be to make it.

How to watch the monsterverse movies: Step one skip to the fights Step two profit

I think the monsterverse has a lot of potential and is doing great so far. I want to see other monsters like Destroyah or Gigan Edit: U should make a response video on The Amazing Lucas’s review on Godzilla Vs Kong. He says that it was “utter trash” because it didn’t show enough Kong and showed more Godzilla

Skull Island was great in its technique, to have the humans and monsters interact. It gives equal screentime to both, and both can develop their arcs and their stories through these interactions.

I gotta say Tex u are probably one of the best movie youtubers. This is because u understand what the movie is trying to do and how to analyze it. Meanwhile some people try and analyze a movie like Batman v Superman like it’s supposed to be a marvel movie

1:38 ***Gareth Edwards NOT Gareth Evans. Misread his name. Gareth Edwards did an indie film called "Monster" before doing Godzilla then would go on to direct "Rouge One: A Star Wars Story". Sections Brief History- 1:10 Godzilla 2014- 2:58 Kong Skull Island- 6:54 Godzilla KotM -10:23 Godzilla vs Kong- 15:47 Ranking- 19:25

Godzilla earth is still probably my favorite, just love how dummy *thicc* he is

Godzilla 2014 wasn’t that bad, I am really connected to it because this movie made me like Godzilla, because I watched this with my dad before my family got divorced and it’s the first move I watched together with my dad.

The monster verse hopefully isn’t over.

I think Ford deserves more respect. He’s an anxiety filled soldier who is more then just a boring character.

the sound design, scale and weight in 2014 is godly and are my favorite details that really made that film for me and when they incorporated that again in king of the monsters 😩 oh man it was amazing.

Uhh Tex sorry to correct you it was gareth Edward’s who directed Godzilla 2014 not evans

Don’t u just love the old days, how we would watch trailers in the theaters. Ah yes.

The main reason I think the hollow earth wasn’t shown a ton in GvK is because they knew they wanted to expand on it in the next movie (GxK) and it wouldn’t make sense if they showed a ton of the hollow earth and then the next movie a ton of stuff that wasn’t in GvK just appear

2014 version felt real and the physics and monster heavy movement were perfect where in GVK the visuals are amazing but the monsters feel weightless and fake

My ranking Godzilla 2014 - Good film. Did a poor job with the dark fight scenes. Thank God for the 4K UHD blu-ray Kong: Skull Island - Dumb fun. King of the Monsters 2019 - Better than the first. And I don't mind the way the fights are shot. GvK - Easily the best in the series. I wish the best for everyone involved and the future of the franchise. #ContinueTheMonsterVerse

As someone who grew up with Godzilla, these 4 films will hold a special place in my heart.

Godzilla 2014 felt like a modern 1954 but with a VS movie mixed in, KotM felt a lot like a Heisei era Godzilla film with its grand scale and epicness, and Godzilla vs Kong felt like the campy Showa era films, which the very original King Kong vs Godzilla was part of. Also Dr Serizawa’s sacrifice was reflecting the original Dr Serizawa’s sacrifice from the original 1954 film, except here he’s saving Godzilla.

I did my own personal ranking of them recently and i had 1. KOTM 2. Kong Skull Island 3. GvK 4 Godzilla 2014 I am really into the lore of the monsterverse and the movies that expand on it the most are my favorites but i love all of them. KOTM is my favorite because of how much love and respect Michael Dougherty put into it. He really showed how much he cared about this world and the Godzilla IP imo. and also has the best antag monster in King Ghidorah. I pretty much love all of it.

Day 6 of asking Tex to respond to Mauler

It was Gareth EDWARDS, not EVANS that directed the 2014 movie. He directed the indie movie « Monsters » before Godzilla 2014. He also ended up directing Star Wars: Rogue One and The Creator after that. Most prolly know cause I’m very late to this (2 years after the video) but rewatching this I just felt like I had to correct that info for anyone watching

Honestly, if they did some weird shit like Godzilla Final Wars, I'd be down.

Well the monsterverse for me doesn't disappoint. I really like the modern take on the titans. I'd like to see one more solo Godzilla movie before they wrap up monsterverse.

1.Godzilla vs Kong 2.Godzilla: king of the Monsters 3.Kong: Skull island 4.Godzilla (2014)

the fights sent chills down my spine cause they were LEGENDARY.

I think the pacing of Godzilla 2014 is amazing. When I was a kid seeing it in theaters, I was annoyed by how much they cut away. But when I watched it again more and more, each time it cut away I got more and more hyped and more excited for the big final battle. I think Godzilla was in the film just enough.

For me, I really like King of the Monsters the most out of the Godzilla trilogy. Mostly because I got to see the big players like Ghidorah, Rodan and Mothra getting a big budget movie appearance. Also, that movie made me awe at the size of the monsters. I don't know, something about the cinematography really made them feel grand which is what was lacking in Godzilla VS Kong for me.

My ranking would be 1: Godzilla 2014 2: Godzilla vs Kong 3: Godzilla King of the monsters 4: Kong Skull Island I love all these movies, I hope we can get more monsterverse

I think the Monsterverse did what it was suppose to do, as far as, building up Godzilla and Kong, while establishing other monsters, which all lead to - Godzilla vs Kong. TERRANCE OUT

That Army of Dead Trailer was Perfection,Dawn of the Dead 2004 Was Already Perfect Zack,You’re a madman

The honest truth is no one expected the MonsterVerse to be this good, it is like the Cobra Kai show, better then it has any right to be. I really don’t like the 2014 Godzilla movie since it is such a waste of everyone’s time with so little Godzilla, to me the series really started with Kong Skull Island and every movie after that was great. Godzilla King of The Monsters is the movie that people expected for the 2014, lots of battles, lots of Godzilla, and a movie that people did not fall asleep to.

The Monsterverse really gets better with every movie in my opinion

I don't think I've ever watched an opinion piece where I feel like I basically wrote the whole thing, but here we are. Great breakdown of each film!

Now we just need monsterverse phases 2 & 3 😳

Great video dude! I'm just gonna rank every (big) monster in the Monsterverse, 'cause why not. 11: Mire Squid - KSI(It's kinda just a giant squid. decent fight, but it only lasts like 40 seconds) 10: The background Titans - KotM (they are only there as background, but at least they have interesting and cool designs) 9: The MUTOs - 2014 (Great sounds, very interesting design, and has a lot of cool scenes, but they lack personality) 8: Skull Crawlers - KSI, GvK (While they're a lot more simple than the MUTOs, I just think they work better. They are nasty, scary and the battle between Kong and the big one are among the best fights in the monsterverse!) 7: Warbats - GvK (they serve little to no purpose in the plot, but the designs really cool, and the short battle with kong is also surprisingly cool!) 6: Mothra - KotM (Mothra's monsterverse design is my favorite of all Mothra designs, and her beauty and loyalty knows no bounds! She's lacking in power compared to most of the other titans, but she's still great in her own way!) 5: Rodan - KotM (Rodan is just awesome! The visual designs the best its ever been, the scene where he battles the jets is great, and his personallity makes him stand out from other incarnations, making him a turncoat to whoever seems strongest. I hope we get more of him in a future film) 4: Kong - KSI, GvK (Kong might've been put below Rodan, had it not been for GvK. Calling him "JuSt A bIg MoNkE" is underplaying him severely! He is intelligent, skilled, and has the most personality out of any of the monsters really. He made a worthy foe to Godzilla indeed) 3: MechaGodzilla - GvK (The designs great, the fight is f*cking perfect, he has an extremely menacing presence, what is there NOT to love about this badass killer robot? My only problem with him, is that I wish we could've seen more of this MechaGodzilla. And when the biggest problem with something is "More pls", then you're doing something right!) 2: Ghidora - KotM (If we ignore the main stars of the Monsterverse, Ghidora is EASILY the best one! He's terrifying, powerful as hell, and has lots of personality! all around the best villain in this universe) 1: Godzilla - 2014, KotM, GvK (I mean, are you really surprised? This universes take on the big G is practically a cinematic icon of this generation! He shows himself as worthy of the tittle of King of the Monsters, as he overcomes every enemy he faces, wether it be ancient parasites, draconic aliens, axe-weilding primates or mechanical look-a-likes! His roar is awesome, his design is awesome, almost every scene he is in is awesome, just awesomeness all around!) how'd you rank them? be sure to tell me below if u feel like it!

20:34 finally someone agrees that it has gorgeous visuals. Also I appreciate you not saying doughboy in your review of Kotm.

I can't tell if I'm having a stroke or if the "Gareth Evans" instead of "Gareth Edwards" thing is intentional.

Ahh yes, I’ve looking forward to this video for a long time. Edit- All of Tex’s criticisms were valid! (Unlike some other youtubers) he made his points, showed what he enjoyed and found strong in each film, etc. Good video Tex.

Godzilla 2014 has such a unique atmosphere compared to the other monster verse movies

I love all of these movies but I still have a love for the 2014 movie. This was my first Godzilla movie I saw in theaters with my sisters and my grandma. I just remember being in awe of the size and power of Godzilla and at times the movie scared the daylight out of me. Hell I had nightmares of what it would be like if I was in the city when the mutos and Godzilla fighting. But this was the movie that got me back into being interested with the king of the monsters. From being 11 when this movie came out to being 21 I’ve watched the monsterverse movies and is something that my grandmother and I love seeing. I can’t wait for GXK to come out truly excited

To me the monsterverse is AWESOME! Maybe the human characters suck but that's not why you watch those movies. Great video as always TEX

I would love to see a hollow earth kong movie where the bad guy is a relative of kong, where they both fight for dominance and expand on hollow earth

Great and insightful video, I really enjoyed the entirety of the monsterverse and appreciate it based on how it brought awareness to these monsters and movies that would be seen as a niche not that long ago. Godzilla has always been my favorite fictional character and just seeing a big budget film where the monsters and set pieces return is what is so great about the monsterverse. Hopefully they continue it and maybe create a branch of films leading up to a final film because all of these creatures and monsters deserve more recognition and there is a clear market for it but based on box office nothing is guaranteed. Just imagine a modern remake of destroy all monsters or Godzilla vs Destroyah.....the potential and excitement is endless!

10:15 LMAOOO Great video, my favorites from the Monsterverse are GvK and Kong Skull Island, I think they are the most honest in their approach as epic entertainment.

Pacific Rim good, but Pacific Rim: Uprising nope.

I love all of these films.

We need to have a film where Godzilla fights Bagan already. Its the dreammatch that......a very niche group of people have been waiting 2 decades to see.

4. King of the Monsters (5/10) it has grown back on me since my ranking video 3. Kong: Skull Island (6.5/10) I like it but think the characters aren't that good or interesting 2. Godzilla vs Kong (7/10) this movie is drugs, and I like it 1. Godzilla (9/10) I love this movie because it is so good at building up anticipation which makes the final fight that much better

These movies are fast food movies. You know its not the best but you still love them.

The only thing I hate about these movies isn't the movies but the fanbase take on them it sucks

It was such a relief to see the Vintage Kaiju back on the big screen starting in 2014 - while the Monsterverse doesn't trample the original films that introduced each Kaiju A-lister within and outside Toho (largely due to some flaws involving character development of the humans here with the exception of Serisawa), it is so far easily the best cycle of kaiju films I've seen since the Heisei Era of Godzilla, beloved by established G-fans due to its consistency in terms of tone and storyline continuity (somewhat disrupted during both the Showa and Millennium cycle), returning the Big Guy to his more serious roots complete with a badass conclusion. If anything, it managed to reconfigure plot elements from the original Toho films into something refreshingly new instead of being a mere remake/retread, while its spectacle goes beyond that of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it proved that Hollywood was for once capable of treating these legendary icons with respect when they were in the right hands. Whether or not the Monsterverse will improve with time, let alone age well as a separate cycle, remains to be seen, but if anything, at least it brought back my childhood memories of watching the original classics at home and even re-enacting some of the battles during playtime with my kid bro. Now the only question left is - how are they going to properly celebrate Godzilla's 75th Diamond Anniversary in 2029 and King Kong's centennial in 2033!!?? And will Toho bring back Godzilla for a new cycle of films during the new Reiwa Era and make it just as good as or better than the Heisei Era!? And will there be new original kaiju films emerging internationally during the 2020's to rival the Monsterverse or new Toho series!!?? Oh the possibilities... I'm already drooling with anticipation!!!!

Another great video as always Tex 👍

The Monsterverse is truly fantastic, life changing even! Although the humans are not too interesting, the action is very exhilarating! And no Im not saying Legendary is better than Toho, far from it. Its just good to see America do something with Godzilla other than Zilla (Zilla Jr was a great show, though)! #continuethemonsterverse

Godzilla King of the monsters Godzilla v kong Kong Skull Island Godzilla.

What makes Monsterverse even better is the comics, Novelazations and Hidden lore (Like the post Credit of KOTM) makes the universe more interesting

I love King of the Monsters more with Godzilla vs Kong at the close second. Seing other recognizable kaijus/titans like Mothra and Rodan albeit with roles not as large as Goji and Ghidorah is really satisfying. And also I love the newspapers cut-out during the credits giving hints to future installments.

The endgame scenario for this series would for sure be the awakening of destroyah

I just want to see one more monsterverse movie where they do a take on Destroy all monsters. See all the monsters theyve established team up to fight destroyah, space godzilla, or maybe even Cthuhlu.

Godzilla? Love it! Kong: Skull Island? Absolutely love it! Godzilla: King of the Moneters? ABSOLUTELY FREAKING LOVE IT! Godzilla vs. Kong? FREAKING LOVE IT!

Honestly my problem with GvK *was* the fights. They’re way too fast paced, and it ends up feeling like a superhero fight, none of the monsters feel their size. It feels, ironically, like 2 guys in a suit punching each other, and if you think that shouldn’t be an issue with the film, I’d point out that there is no point in making them kaiju if their size doesn’t matter. This is why Godzilla 2014 is my favourite, it leans in most to the sense of megalophobia. My second favourite is easily KotM, almost solely because of the Rodan awakening scene, because you get that same sense of scale.

Yes I want more mosterverse movies. Especially when they haven't use some of my favorite monsters like Gigan, Destroyah, and Biolantte

Godzilla 2014 is goddamn amazing. Definitely my favorite in the monsterverse followed by KOTM

Seriously, best video you’ve done. Gone balanced points without being pushy of what is good or bad. The first Godzilla is the best for me, but just cause I really dug the horror monsterverse vibe more than blockbuster action. All in all, we need more. Cheers!

Love your content and amazing work 👍🏽

The 2014 Godzilla movie is one off my favourites🤣🤟

I think that, depending on what you're looking for in these movies, the 2014 Godzilla is either the best one or the worst one, which is not something I can say for the other three movies, that are more similar to each other. I don't know what this is meant to say about the film's quality (personally I like KOTM the most) but it's an interesting observation

Your content was so good I watched the video without adblocker and subcsribed. Nice job!

I remember being a little kid and watching tv when a trailer came on and it blew me away. This is my favorite incarnation because it was my introduction. It feels like have been a fan my whole life. Long live the King!!!

This may be Very contriversal but Godzilla vs Kong was actually my least favourite movie in the monsterverse.

Can you do a video regarding The Conjuring Universe before or after The Conjuring III?

It's fun to see the different priorities people have with these movies. You can see it in their rankings. I'm one of those people who have 2014 Godzilla at number 1, but I can definitely see why you would have some of the more silly and fun-to-watch movies at the top instead. That's why movies are great; something for everyone

Great video Tex, I honestly love these movies so much and I hope they #continuethemonsterverse

Admit it, you thought of "Save Mothra" when Godzilla had Kong pinned down.

I'm a diehard godzilla fan. Something like the monsterverse is something I would have dreamed of as a kid. Each of the 4 offers something unique. Each of the 4 directors also are clearly fans and deeply respect the genre and characters. That being said they never felt like authentic Godzilla movies to me. Just the difference in cultures i suppose. Americans like the spectacle of action rather than the spectacle of destruction. Also the monsterverse lacks the satirical wit that the best godzilla movies offer.

I think the Monsterverse is one of the best modern cinematic universes out there and I really hope it continues! I enjoy each and every one of these movies, and I love how they all seamlessly tie into each other while all being directed by different directors with different visions. My ranking would be: 1. Godzilla:King Of The Monsters 2. Godzilla vs. Kong 3. Kong:Skull Island 4. Godzilla

My favorite is skull island, I love survivalist type of movies and I love the less known monsters that are all around the island, it gets the creators to just use their imagination and brain storm what would be on an Vietnam/Amazon island and just amplify it to 50 meters+ lol. And the fight scenes with King Kong stomping on the skull crawlers was one of my favorites in the series.

Call me biased, but I'm more entertained by the movies with Kong. I love Big Monke🦍

I feel Godzilla vs Kong fights kinda fell into Pacific Rim 2 territory. The Kaiju move so much faster and weightless compared to previous Monsterverse installments, and the lack of many of the human perspectives give the movie a lot less of a giant monster feel, and more of a cartoony feel. Mechagodzilla especially. That being said, Kong Skull Island is still my favorite of the Monsterverse installments. And overall Monsterverse has been a very solid franchise.

Just to let you guys know that although it is also considered a Godzilla film, GvK is mostly a sequel to Kong: Skull Island since the movie is about Kong learning about his ancestors, the rivalries of his kind and Godzilla’s, and Hollow Earth which is his ancestors’ kingdom. Also, Kong has more screen time than Godzilla.

When I first saw Godzilla 2014 I thought it was fantastic, but as the years went by and I rewatched it I think it is ok at best. I liked the first act but it started to go downhill when Bryan Cranston's character died. Overall not a bad movie.

Godzilla 2014 7/10 Kong skull island 8/10 Godzilla king of the monsters 8/10 Godzilla vs kong 9/10 Now I want Godzilla and kong vs Gamera

Godzilla 2014 was the best for me .. I loved to dark, horror tone the film had, on top of the human interactions and sense of realism and believably. KotM is my second .. the cinematography and action in the film was the best out of the entire monsterverse. Skull Island was great too. -- GvK wasn’t it for me .. it seem like the cinematography, action scenes, human interactions, damnear everything Fr just went down hill from “unique” and epic (to say) to mediocre blockbuster. The only good thing about the film was the end when Godzilla’s and Kong fight for the 2nd time, and team up.

I was 13 being a big fan of Godzilla and constantly looking up, ever since 2004, a new Godzilla movie and in 2014 I was blessed to prove everyone wrong by telling them that there was going to be a new Godzilla after years of waiting I loved seeing the movie at a fancy theatre with the “how to train your dragon” mango drink and I felt so gooooooood

My order is 4.Godzilla 2014 3.Skull Island 2.Godzilla vs Kong 1.KotM 2 and 1 were close, but KotM had a little more monster fighting time on screen. Plus, the monsters just looked incredible-not that they didn't in GvK, but did you see Rodan, Ghidorah and Mothra, man lol. They made 2 reptiles look spectacular, and a giant insect look absolutely beautiful! Credit where credit is due...

I want to see big monster fights #ContinueTheMonsterVerse

I had no idea people liked Kong: Skull Island. It felt like a terrible wannabe MCU movie but with King Kong and worse humour.

Megalon would be perfect for a hollow earth film. Bring back Anguirus too

The MCU requires a plethora of movies to understand the timeline. The Monsterverse requires four.
