I am a staunch defender of the 2014 Godzilla soft-sequel-reboot as a worthy member of the Godzilla family. Sure it wasn’t great but for a westernized adaptation of a purely Japanese creation it held onto some of the more subtle themes, such as birth from destruction and embracing the monsters you create.

When we last saw the titular villain (hero?), Godzilla was leaving the ruins of San Francisco and returning to the sea from which he came. In Godzilla: King of the Monsters, we will see him return after our rampant sacking of our planet through industrialization and mining for natural resources causes the planet to go into defense mode, bringing forth legendary protectors to flush us out like a bacteria. Today at the Warner Bros. Comic-Con panel we got to see the first full-length trailer which showed off Earth’s defenders as Mothra, Rodan, and ultimately King Ghidorah, all of whom will do battle with Godzilla in an effort to save the planet by destroying us. Perfect!
