In 2014, Legendary Pictures launched its new MonsterVerse with the Gareth Edwards-helmed Godzilla. The film was a modest success, but at the time, fans had one major complaint with this second attempt at an American reimagining of their favorite monster: there wasn't enough Godzilla. For a franchise that built a reputation on its epic monster battles, the way the 2014 film constantly cut away just before the action got going was almost worthy of parody. Beyond this and that one great line delivery from Ken Watanabe (let them fight, indeed), the film has been largely forgotten by the mainstream.
