While I still haven’t seen it yet, but I have accidentally learned what happens in it, I can guess what’s a refreshing, progressive giant monster story: Steven Universe Future: “I Am My Monster”. In that Steven transforming into a giant corrupted gem, the monster in question, can be seen as a metaphor for his pent up rage and being fed up with the uncompromising if not unfair circumstances of his existence and his rampage serving as a metaphor for his desire to just destroy everything. Now that’s a poignant use of a giant monster as a metaphor for existential crisis right there. It’d give plenty of teens who know how he feels a lot to think about afterwards. A more humane context for a kaiju indeed.

I’m positive it’s plenty better written than Legendary’s MonsterVerse while also in a league of it’s own.
