Godzilla vs Kong’s trailer is arguably the biggest trailer reveal of 2021 yet, but it is not only big in sheer size. Of course, Kong is a grown up now, and his towering figure is a testament that you can put on pounds of pure muscle while being confined in a small space (read: Skull Island), with little to no help from a fitness coach, so you should stop blaming the pandemic and the closure of gyms for looking like a starving caveman. Or a melted ice-cream.

Yes, we have all been starved of big movie titles since Pandemic-20 started its world tour, and perhaps that is the reason why the trailer of Godzilla vs Kong is leaving a much bigger footprint than it should. Kaiju. Story reveals. Warbat. Kong’s weapon. I have lost count of the times that these headlines made their way into my social media feed. The sheer amount of articles spawning from that trailer alone proved that something substantial and interesting has finally emerged for film publications to write about. I can feel their hunger, and I wonder when was the last time that they had a nice, warm, cheeseburger.

Food aside, the trailer does certainly leave a lengthy trail of after-shocks to be talked about. There are good surprises, not-so-great reveals, and plenty of bold moves that could drive the audience crazy, for good or bad reasons…
