So for a while, all the sort of news stories and headlines were setting up the world and when we realized it was becoming main on ends, I thought this was an opportunity to create an epilogue of sorts. You no longer get to have opening title sequences because we don’t have the attention for those anymore. "It was traditional main titles and then it became main on ends, which is the latest trend. "Initially, that was an opening credits sequence," Dougherty said. " It does lay the groundwork for the next chapter, for Godzilla vs Kong," said Dougherty - who also co-wrote the script for Adam Wingard's upcoming showdown of the monster icons. But it turns out those credits weren't originally mean to be end credits at all. " I like to think that her children have all the collective memories of the previous Mothras," he said.Īs for the film's ending, the biggest reveals were saved for the film's credits sequence, where easter eggs and hints pointing towards Godzilla vs. She knows that she will live on through her children." But Dougherty doesn't just think that it's her lineage that lives on. She knows that her self-sacrifice is a noble one that, ultimately, she wins. She’s so far above the other creatures, and us as a stupid species of talking monkeys, that she sees the bigger picture. "That’s what I love about Mothra in all the Godzilla films, she represents that endless cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth. Mothra always comes back," Dougherty said with a smile. In short, don't expect that to be the end for Mothra. Speaking of Mothra, the filmmaker also touched on the heartbreaking moment when the Queen of Monsters sacrificed herself to save Godzilla in the big battle against King Ghidorah. The message, Dougherty explained, was "to say that, if this existed in the past, if there was a civilization that learned how to peacefully coexist with Kaiju/nature, then hopefully, if we smarten up finally, then hopefully we can do the same thing." What if he took a weapon of mass destruction down there to save and revive Godzilla." So I thought it would be great if this incarnation of Serizawa did the opposite. Serizawa reluctantly uses the oxygen destroyer to kill Godzilla. And I thought it was a good flip to the role Serizawa played in the '54 film. "I thought if there was any character who would be willing to sacrifice himself for Godzilla it would be Serizawa. That all teed up Dougherty's decision to say goodbye to the character, and use his death as a mirror to the role that Dr. He sees Godzilla in a way that lines up with my own way of seeing the creature." The idea that he respects, fears, admires the creature. "So Serizawa being my favorite character, I wanted to flesh him out a bit more, get to know him, really get some insight into how he views Godzilla. Eager to dig into the inner workings of Monarch, Dougherty also wanted to explore Serizawa's unique perspective on the monster.
