One of the film’s most interesting details is how deeply it connects the MonsterVerse to older Toho Godzilla mythology. Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah are all classic monsters that originated in Japanese kaiju cinema, but the 2019 film redesigned them for Legendary’s modern cinematic universe. The filmmakers also incorporated Monarch’s scientific mythology to make the Titans feel like previously undiscovered species rather than simply monsters appearing out of nowhere.
A particularly fun detail is visible in Godzilla’s underwater temple: a skeleton resembling Anguirus, a dinosaur-like creature and longtime Godzilla ally from the classic Toho films, can be seen there. IMDb’s trivia notes that the filmmakers confirmed the skeleton is indeed intended to be Anguirus.
