Everything other than Godzilla is absolutely awful in those movies, though. They rightfully portray Godzilla as an absolutely badarse force of nature, but the human characters are insufferable. I have yet to see the newest Godzilla x Kong, but if it's more insufferable human side-plots, I don't know if I can sit through that again.
Props, though, to the writers for making Legendary's Godzilla come across as such a force that he's quickly become one of the most popular iterations of the big G.
I agree with you regarding the Hollywood made Godzilla movies (except the 2014 film, which I thought was pretty good). However, you should check out the Japanese one that came out recently, called Godzilla Minus One. It was really good, didn't have any diversity (everyone is appropriately Japanese, since the story takes place in Japan), it idolized and extolled the virtues of the Japanese people, had good messages in it, had some decent twists in it, and it makes you feel good after watching it, and not depressed from all the degeneracy, nihilism, and brow beating like in Hollywood movies. They made Godzilla the bad guy (apparently that's how he started out), where he's an allegory to nuclear weapons. I can't recommend it enough.
Absolutely will be checking out Godzilla Minus One. Several others here have also recommended it; I'm not sure why I hadn't come around to watching it yet, but it's high up on my watchlist.
Meanwhile, Godzilla X Kong was hated by critics, loved by the audience, and made the most money of any Godzilla film at theaters.

I wholeheartedly concur! Best movie I've seen in years, and on the BIG screen, as movies were intended to be viewed!
