Even if you go on Google Maps and look on West 42nd Street in New York City, you can see towards 7th Ave an ad for a Samsung phone with art from the Godzilla film in question. It was literally everywhere and, for the most part, lived up to the fanboyish expectations that I had. Sure, it wasn’t perfect, but I had a lot of fun across the four times I coincidentally saw it. Quickly after that, though, Toho themselves announced that they would be returning to the Godzilla franchise, marking the first time in history that two Godzilla franchise would co-exist in the world.
