I loved the lines "All those nuclear tests in the pacific? Not tests." - "They were trying to kill it." Really gives you a sense of how powerful Godzilla is if they've been attempting to nuke him multiple times already and still couldn't get the job done.And yeah, like Jelly I also didn't think they were going to be full-on having the original film as part of the continuity of this one since that would have gone against what they said they were going for with the whole "what if Godzilla suddenly appeared for real?" approach, but I also didn't expect that certain people in the government/military did indeed know about him for decades and had been trying to kill him. That's very cool, since again, it really gives you a sense of his power and level of threat.
And man, there are just sooooo many parts of that trailer where I just stopped and thought "yep, that's Godzilla." Swimming underneath a fleet of aircraft carriers and battleships, nukes in the pacific, people running away from him through the city streets, underground lairs with giant monster bones, soldiers in the jungle discovering something radioactive, various destroyed cities. Even that shot near the beginning of someone watching destruction going on just across a small body of water (looks to be Japan judging by the shape of the roof of the building on the right, the small bridge, the greenery and the lettering on the van on the left) has the same sort of framing as any number of composite destruction shots from the Heisei movies.
And again as some people have said, I love that it's still just glimpses here and there, albeit very, very cool ones, unlike some trailers that seem to just show you everything. Still leaves loads to look forward to. And of course that Bryan Cranston voiceover from yesterday is indeed awesome with footage to accompany it, as is Ken Watanabe's final line. And context for the "too lengthy" roar - it was blended into an 'end of trailer suspense' theme!
So, so cool. I think I'm going to go watch it again...
