Mothra makes her cinematic return in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, but she isn’t happy with the end result…

“Upon reflection, I regret ever having appeared in that movie.”

I thought Godzilla: King of the Monsters was a rather enjoyable film. Surely you agree that it corrected the course against the many, many failings of the previous film and the future of the franchise looks encouraging.

To my recollection, Godzilla had no involvement with the production  of any of those projects, and if I’m being generous, they were as entertaining as their titles were unique. Please forgive my sarcasm, but I can’t see how their lukewarm reception among the fanbase can be seen as the fault of anyone but the principals involved.
