Hey, hey, hey, just cool it now. I don't know if you're being over the top just to be funny or if you really feel that strongly about an insult that was never made, but you're starting to derail this discussion about *this* movie.
Anyone who has read or listened to the transcript knows that no insult was intended or given. Further, neither Abrams nor Paramount have said anything like "Yeah, we're making a movie and future franchise to dethrone Godzilla, because he's cheezy". If you want to take it as some sort of personal affront, fine, whatever works for you. But there are people here who are genuinely excited about this film, and there's no need to rain on the parade. If you're offended or not interested, you can always skip this thread and the movie when it comes out. But right now, pdg3, you're coming off as someone looking to start a dispute where none exists. So again, please, just relax. Save that anger for the trolls who come into MZ and start spouting off about "Godzilla? Just for kids." and "Godzilla? Bad rubber suits."
For the most part, we're all on the same side, and as far as I can see, Abrams and his crew are on our side as well. They see value in the genre and want to breath some new life into it. Nothing wrong with that. In fact, a much better attitude than Emmerich and Devlin, don't you think?
