Welcome to Mechagodzilla’s cockpit! Looks like APEX used the remaining Ghidorah skull and possibly even it’s brain as the internal components of Mechagodzilla. Also it looks like Ren Serizawa is the pilot!

The marketing is going all out now and the hype train is going full steam ahead!

Godzilla Vs Kong Trailer 1 and Full Breakdown

The first trailer for Godzilla Vs Kong has been released and it is amazing! Check it out below and I also have done our traditional full breakdown of the trailer looking out for all of the secrets. Don’t worry I’ll give a spoiler warning before talking about the big spoiler.

Wow they sure gave us a lot and also kept a ton of the movie secret. Hopefully this is the only trailer we get so we can keep most of the plot hidden. Well everyone let’s get to it:

First off we have a mountainside exploding outwards and it is sending giant boulders flying into the city. There is a clue showing us what is causing this explosion but I’ll save that for later.

This is the first look we get at the fleet that has captured Kong and is escorting him somewhere. The teaser audio from the YouTube ads hints that they may be trying to use Kong to lure out Godzilla.

This is Eiza Gonzalez’s character Maya Simmons. The trailer seems to be implying that she is a good guy but I think she may end up being our human villain. The way this shot is framed, she does not look very heroic.

Kong taking a nap on his transport ship. Too much berry juice will do that to you.

Very cool dual logos with WB’s being Kong focused and Legendary’s being Godzilla. Also very interesting that the Kong paintings are in the style of Skull Island and Godzilla’s look more ancient.

Kong looks very unhappy as he inspects his bindings.

Alexander Skarsgard plays Nathan Lind and appears to be the protagonist of the movie and looks to have some deep ties to Kong.

Next up we have newcomer Kaylee Hottle as a Skull Island villager who has a special connection to Kong.

Look at my Kong doll!

Looks like there’s gonna be a connection between the kid and Rebecca Hall’s Ilene Andrews.

Kong chained up outside during the rain and the little girl comes out to try to calm him down.

Very sweet and tender moment and also the first shot of the trailer that is wallpaper worthy. The cinematography is beautiful.

The look of fear on all of the characters including Kong is great for setting up the tone.

A king’s arrival is never silent and Godzilla’s entrance into the trailer is definitely loud. Godzilla slices a ship in half with his dorsal plates and doesn’t seem to care. Godzilla seems to be in a bad mood and unlike the previous films in the Monsterverse seems to be taking an antagonistic role.

Missiles do nothing to stop him.

Godzilla takes out one of the jets with his tail. He really is attacking the humans this time.

Kong roars at the water angrily and Godzilla pops out like a crocodile attacking it’s prey. As a note Kong is still chained up here and has not moved onto the aircraft carrier.

Believe it or not this is going to be Godzilla’s first fight in the day in the entire Monsterverse so far. It really shows off how detailed the CG model is and looks amazing. Also we are seeing a return to the Gareth Edwards style from 2014 with a shot looking up at the Titans from the deck of the ship.

Look everyone it’s the banner image! All joking aside this punch has an amazing sense of scale and weight to it!

Kong shoulder checks Godzilla off of the aircraft carrier but that quickly back fires for kong.

Godzilla goes under the carrier and charges up his breath attack.

Kong does his best John McClane impression and jumps off the carrier in the nick of time.

Godzilla swims away from the wrecked fleet.

Here we have Shun Oguri playing Ren Serizawa, the son of Ken Watanabe’s character who sacrificed himself to save Godzilla in King of the Monsters. Behind him is something very interesting but I’ll save that for the spoiler section.

This may end up being one of the most beautiful shots in the entire Monsterverse. Godzilla roars surrounded by the skyline of Hong Kong with it’s neon lights.

Kyle Chandler returns as Mark Russell and is commenting on how weird it is that Godzilla is hurting people. Also the news item on the screen is super important as it mentions Godzilla has destroyed Pensacola, Fl and destroyed the APEX plant there. What’s APEX? Tune into the spoiler section to find out.

Never thought I’d see Legendary Godzilla going full rampage but man oh man does it look great.

Ok there is a lot to unpack in this image but the basics are that Godzilla seems to be going around the world and attacking places with an APEX facility. I think that this is the conspiacy board of Julian Dennison’s character.

I love that Millie Bobby Brown is going to be driving a storm chaser vehicle after the Titans.

Speaking of Julian and Mille, here are their characters Josh Valentine and Madison Russel driving the van. She still seems to be on team Godzilla and suspects something is agitating him that noone knows about. Maybe he’s not really a villain after all.

Brian Tyree Henry plays Bernie Hayes and it seems like he believes Maddison’s story.

Kong surveying Skull Island. I thought this was the Hollow Earth at first but it has a sky.

Kong finds a hand print made by one of his ancestors deep in the Hollow Earth.

The level of detail on Kong in this shot is insane! Also check out the futuristic vehicle in the background! Looks like the H.E.A.V. (Hollow Earth Antigravity Vehicle) from the toys!

Kong raises his battle axe and roars! The axe handle glows red and the blade…well we’ll get there.

Kong fights the Warbats inside the Hollow Earth!

Kong and Godzilla have a stand off at dawn. Could this be after the Hong Kong battle?

Some sort of weird bat Titan down in the Hollow Earth. Maybe they are related to Camazotz?

Kong seems to be standing on a glowing ancient carving of Godzilla while he fights off the bat Titans.

Godzilla gets hammer fisted by Kong and pushed back.

Nathan doesn’t look so good here. He’s also wearing something that looks like a pilot suit.

Kong rushes at Goji with his axe glowing blue like Godzilla’s dorsal plates.

Whoa Kong catches Godzilla’s breath weapon with the axe and smashes it into Godzilla’s face! This is definitely the thing that will give Kong an edge over Godzilla in the final fight.

Who are you rooting for in this fight?

The opening shot of the trailer shows a mountain exploading but it’s so dusty you really can’t see the cause until this blink and you’ll miss it glimspe of our bigger threat of the film. MechaGodzilla is here folks and it looks like the mechanical Titan does not care about collateral damage.

The second glimpse of Mechagodzilla is actually a bit more obvious. If you look behin Ren Serizawa you can clearly see the blueprints of Mechagodzilla with some text that appears to say “Fury Systems: Maximum Charge.”

Now it’s time to talk about APEX Cybernetics. With a name like that you know that they are behind the construction of Mechagodzilla but what is unknown at this time is their motivations. As we saw in the brief second of actual Mechagodzilla footage, MechaG doesn’t seem to care about human death which leads me to believe APEX wants to destroy the Titans no matter what. Godzilla also seems to be attracted to APEX sites across the globe which is very interesting. I wonder if the Godzilla that is destroying cities is actually MechaG in disguise?

Godzilla Vs Kong Viral Marketing Site Found!

Fan Art

This been a wild morning of research and deep diving but thanks to one of our Discord members it looks like a new viral marketing site has been revealed!

UPDATE 1/18/21 - The twitter account has come out as fan made. The website however is still owned by Warner Bros and may still be a viral marketing site for GvK. Original article follows.

CStafford on the Tokyo Lives Discord server noticed some suspicious activity on a seemingly unconnected Twitter account this morning:

A possible hint of GvK marketing coming up: a Twitter account titled "WPKW26 News" just started following pretty much every official Legendary and official Godzilla Twitter account, which is significant because the website for that account (http://www.wpkw26.com/) is owned by WB, and is showing some trademark stuff for 2014. There isn't anything on that website yet, but it could be a part of the GvK marketing push, an ARG that looks like a news website with articles about the Titans and such

After looking into this further the twitter account WPKW26 was set up last June which would line up with a viral marketing strategy for a November release. Also if you search WPKW26 on Youtube you get search results for Godzilla and Kong without there being any direct connection.

The nail in the coffin actually comes from the credits of Godzilla King of the Monsters!

Look at the website on the right side

The fact that the news site has already appeared in the MonsterVerse makes this no longer a coincidence and now an actual fact.

The biggest thing to note about all of this is that the follows of the official Twitter accounts happened very recently which may hint that the viral marketing could be about to kick off! Get excited G-Fans!

Godzilla Vs Kong - Did Legendary Just Tease The Trailer Release Date?

Legendary pictures just updated their Facebook with a new banner image that may give us a tease of when to expect the first trailer for the hotly anticipated Godzilla Vs Kong.

Fans who follow Legendary on Facebook were treated to an interesting surprise when they uploaded this new banner image:

On the Christmas tag on the right side of the image you can clearly see a Godzilla footprint. What is interesting about this is there are no other teases on this image for any other upcoming movies from Legendary. Wonder Woman 84 comes out on Christmas day and that would be the perfect time/place to release the first trailer for GvK. Is this a real tease or just an innocent reference to one of Legendary/Warner Bros.’ biggest upcoming films? Well the plot thickens because shortly after that first image was posted they changed their banner once again:

Okay so the foot print has been replaced with a different symbol which still kind of looks like a footprint. Wait a minute I recognize the footprint from the first picture!

That’s just the teaser footprint from the beginning of the Shin Godzilla marketing! Also the new footprint actually matches the Godzilla King of the Monsters foot design better.

I have a theory, the first image was a mock-up image that wasn’t supposed to be posted. They used the ShinGoji footprint image as a test. They then made one modeled after KotM as the real image and the social media guy must have posted the wrong one. This is really the only thing that makes sense and still leaves us with a potential trailer release window of December 25th.

What do you all think?

Godzilla Singular Point Trailer and Breakdown!

Well that was unexpected! We just got our first look at the new Godzilla anime coming next year! Time to dive in and see what’s in store!

Whoa we are getting way more monsters than we ever could have imagined and they are deep diving into the Goji lore for some of these. I feel a breakdown coming on.

The trailer opens with our new Godzilla charging up that classic blue breath while surrounded by a mysterious red mist. Red colored mist and water show up in the trailer several times and I’m sure that’s going to be extremely important.

First glimpse of our favorite flappy boy and look what he’s trailing behind him.

Here’s our new Rodan! They went with a very Pteranodon look this time around but they kept some very iconic pieces of the Toho design just to make him recognizable enough. I really like the white coloration on his face.

This is the one that took everyone by surprise! Jet Jaguar is here but this time it looks like he might be a pilot-able mech instead of a straight robot. Very clunky looking.

Here we see a tail of a creature attacking a helicopter. Now I have read multiple theories of whose tail this might be but honestly we don’t have enough evidence. I’ll talk more about the tail in a bit.

Another big surprise! I recognize that green warty skin anywhere, Gabara has returned. Wonder if there’s gonna be a baby Goji for him to bully this time around.

The only kaiju in the trailer that doesn’t have some sort of red around him, it’s really good to see Anguirus back! I really love his coloration and how spikey he is. That guy looks to be trying to harpoon him.

Looks like we may have some sort of snake like kaiju in these two shots and the coloration matches that tail we saw earlier. Manda maybe?

So first off it looks like we are getting some sort of ProtoRodan or at least and offshoot of the main Rodan we saw earlier. We also get a shot of a swarm of these creatures and once again that mysterious red mist is involved.

Is that who I think it is? Looks like Titanosaurus is getting a major overhaul and redesign. It is a bit interesting that he seems to have some Godzilla dorsal plates running down his back. Maybe the new canon is they are related?

This shot is interesting because it appears to be some sort of Mecha base or maybe a containment facility. It’s way more advanced than the place Jet Jaguar was.

Finally we end on a quick red mist hidden look at our Godzilla design. Wonder how long they’ll keep him hidden.

And that’s all the interesting footage in the teaser trailer! I’ll leave you with the official synopsis and poster!

When danger comes up from the depths, only young geniuses Mei, Yun, and their team can face the threat in Godzilla Singular Point!

'Godzilla: King of the Monsters" Final Look Trailer and Breakdown

Well I’m kind of surprised we got one more trailer for this movie since it releases literally a week from today but here we are. Keep in mind that this trailer does contain some footage that some would consider spoiler territory. Consider yourselves warned! If you don’t care about a super minor spoiler that we’ve known about since the toys released and Trailer 2 happened…well then you have come to the right place!

First thing to notice (and most G-fans have already jumped on the hate train) is the song choice of ‘Mama said knock you out’. I may be crazy but I think this is a reference way back to the year of 1996 when Godzilla won the Lifetime Achievement Award from MTV.

Anyway enough about the music let’s breakdown the few new shots we got in this trailer.

First up we have another brief glimpse of the Rodan and Mothra battle. Not sure what that big flash is…

I don’t think this shot is new but this is a really nice moment between Goji and Serizawa.

Looks like adult Mothra has a new ability! Or should I say a carried over ability from her previous form? Mothra used String Shot!

Okay so I accidentally stumbled upon this terrifying shot of Ghidorah chasing after and destroying this vehicle. Jesus the Ghidorah in this movie just might give some people nightmares.

Ok so we’ve definitely seen this shot in a different trailer but we get to see what happens right after this.

Godzilla is a such a good boy in this movie. He protec but he also attac.

Now the next photos are the ones some would consider spoiler territory!

-

-

Be warned!!

-

-

You still here?

-

-

Ok but don’t say I didn’t warn you!

-

-

This is the clearest look we have gotten of our MonsterVerse version of Burning Godzilla (who we have learned is called Fire Godzilla officially). I love that every crease and fold of Goji’s skin is glowing red like lava. Also look at those glowing red eyes!

Looks like Fire Godzilla has lightning jumping between his spines! This is legitimately something that I have always wanted to see on a Godzilla design!

Look at that size difference! Right after this screenshot Mothra actually bitch slaps Rodan with her new claw like appendages. This Mothra can scrap!

Finally we have 100% confirmation that the object falling from the sky is Godzilla. How in the heck will Kong stand a chance against a creature that can survive an orbital drop? I guess we’ll find out next year!

What did you guys all think about the Final Look at Godzilla: King of the Monsters? Have you bought your tickets yet?

'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' Final Trailer Breakdown

The final trailer for ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters released this morning and is now the number 1 trending topic on twitter. So I might as well do my patented breakdown of the third and final theatrical trailer. Check it out!

I’m going to skip over a few of the things we have seen in other trailers but for the most part I’ll be going scene by scene and talking about this beautiful trailer. First thing to mention is the use of “Somewhere over the Rainbow” again. Very good choice and once again the music really sets the tone of the trailer.

First up is a shot that has been used in almost every single trailer and TV spot. The thing to notice this time is that this definitely seems like finished and polished CGI. Lots more details in the wings now.

Mothra breathes out onto Madison in what will probably be a pretty adorable scene early in the movie.

I say this is early because look how happy this family is. Things don’t seem to be sunshine and rainbows between these two later according to some of the other footage we have seen.

Another shot from a previous trailer but with the polished CG. Mothra is using her “god rays” at Kyle Chandler’s character. Wonder why…

Rodan opens his eye as he awakens inside his volcanic home.

Ghidroah awakens! You can definitely hear the bidibidibidi in this shot as well as it looking absolutely fantastic.

King Ghidorah charges up his gravity beams and is about to rain hell on the soldiers down below as seen in the IMAX special preview clip.

This is still by far the most visually stunning sequence we have seen thus far. They definitely touched up the CG a bit here as well and added a bit more lightning to when he’s standing on the top of the volcano.

When Ghidorah stares at you like this you know you are in trouble.

This is definitely Mike Dougherty dropping one of those Toho easter eggs. Godzilla always does interesting things to water whenever he pops out no matter the era. Toho era was a lot of bubbles. Legendary opted for a whirlpool. I love it!

Very realistic looking volcanic eruption as Rodan is awakened.

Rodan stepping out from his lair for the first time in millenia.

Man I really pity all the people who live in the city down below. Love the lava trails coming off of Rodan.

This is some primo boots on the ground action. The people flying up in the up draft of Rodan passing above is a very cool and terrifying effect.

This poor kid doesn’t look like he’s gonna make it. I love how even in the cut up trailer, the kid almost dying pulls off some emotional heft.

Serizawa walks up the steps in Goji’s temple.

Serizawa is probably setting up the bomb we saw explode all the way back in the first trailer. Not sure he’s gonna make it out of this movie alive.

Yeah that looks like a very sad Serizawa sacrificing himself to help a weakened or sleeping Godzilla. Gonna be a very emotion filled sequence.

Here’s that practical effect skin that Mike Dougherty confirmed a little while ago.

Man the close up CG effects sure are top notch.

Looks like the Super X bomber thing is joining in the fight with Godzilla and the jets against Ghidorah.

The ice prison of of Ghidorah cracks open.

Looks like Ghidorah will be taking Godzilla on a magical flight at some point in this film. Wait didn’t we see something back in the other trailer where it looked like Godzilla was falling from a great height?

Can we talk about the greatness that is trailers matching the music with the footage? Cause this is a perfect example of this editing technique. Also in almost every shot we see of the fight between Godzilla and Ghidorah it looks like Ghidorah has the upper hand. Not going to be an easy win for old Godzilla.

Ghidorah tackling Godzilla to the ground and I think this relates to a shot later of a building being blasted.

This shot is of Ghidorah’s Super Lightning Attack and you can see Godzilla struggling to stay standing after this ability goes off. Not sure why Ghidorah is able to shoot lightning from everywhere but it still some very shocking imagery don’t you think?

Ok yup that is most definitely Godzilla reentering the atmosphere. I’m guessing Ghidorah got tired of dealing with him and decided to take Godzilla for that ride we saw earlier.

Just another cool shot from the Rodan Vs Jets sequence.

Godzilla roaring at Ghidorah after being knocked down in the pale moon light of the Antarctic.

Angry Moth noises intensify! She’s looking a bit worse for wear here with some pretty gnarly burns on her wings.

Man they are really not hiding the fact that Mothra is most likely going to die in this film. I mean that’s what usually happens when she shows up in a Godzilla film but still…

Here is that shot I spoke of earlier of Godzilla accidentally hitting a building with his breath after Ghidorah takes him down to the ground.

Looks Like Godzilla and Ghidorah are going to tussel in the water at some point in the film.

Godzilla taking a breather. He definitely looks beat up here and that lines up with Ghidorah having the upper hand most of the time. Maybe this takes place after Godzilla gets air dropped?

Godzilla using his new powered up atomic breath to push Ghidorah off of him. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this shot but damn is it impressive.

Quick shot from the Super X bomber showing Godzilla and Ghidorah fighting in Boston.

And of course we end on the big clash again!

This was by far the best trailer we have gotten and it should do a good job getting that general audience hype going. What did you think of the trailer? Did it increase your hype or were you already at max hype?

'Godzilla King of the Monsters' Beautiful TV Spot - Highest Quality and Breakdown

Normally we reserve breakdowns for full length trailers but this TV Spot is a special case. Coming in at a full minute long this is almost a miniature trailer 3 and gives so much new footage that it will make your eyes pop out of your head. Check it out!

So much to unpack in this trailer so let’s just get started:

Rodan! This shot was in the previous TV spot but I didn’t post about that one so let me just say how stunning this is here. Rodan is after that Super X jet thing.

Ghidorah! This shot is from the second trailer and is of Ghidorah awakening in the Antarctic. I still really love the lightning charge effect as it goes up his necks.

Mothra! Of course this is a reused shot from the very first trailer. The CG is definitely more complete this time around and it looks beautiful. This isn’t the last shot from the first trailer used in this TV spot either. I’m actually really digging how they are only really giving brief before and after add ons to scenes we sw in the other trailers. Really keeps the rest of the movie hidden.

Oh my! It took me way longer than I’d like to admit to realize they were making a “Lions, Tigers and Bears! Oh My!” Wizard of Oz reference and that is why ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ is the song in the TV spot. This is Bradley Whitford who is playing a scientist who was described in the set reports as a Rick from ‘Rick and Morty’ type character. not sure how I’ll feel about that by the end but…

Here is that mountain Titan from the second trailer and other TV spot. This is the Titan in Germany as you can see in the bottom left corner. Also there are some rumors that this one is called Methuselah who in biblical history supposedly lived to the age of 969. Very interesting.

Kyle Chandler definitely seems to be shaping up to be the main character of the film. He gets several really good one liners in this TV Spot.

An extension of a shot from the earlier trailers. Ghidorah is looking for something after landing in the Fenway Park stadium in Boston.

Trailer 1 shot with finished CG again. This time it’s much easier to tell that this is in Fenway Park. Looks like he found who he was looking for.

This is the “Oh Shit” shot from the previous trailer but now with context. Madison see’s that Ghidorah has found her and is absolutely not okay with that. I think that this is followed by the shot from the first trailer when Madison is running away from the gravity bolts.

Same shot from trailer two of the scorpion/spider Titan rising in the desert somewhere. I never noticed the Monarch logo on the truck until now.

And now for probably my two favorite shots from the TV Spot. Ghidorah cackles from atop the volcano Rodan popped up from. This shot and the next are so beautiful/wallpaper worthy it is ridiculous. I don’t think I ever in my lifetime would find Ghidorah legitimately terrifying but this movie is proving me wrong.

Love the imagery and symbolism here. Where is your Godzilla now?

Trailer one shot again but now we get to see this from the ground level.

As we say all the time on the cast this is wonderful boots on the ground sequence with the G-Team trying to save some kids from being blown away from Rodan’s passing. Very scary imagery.

Horrified by the destructive power of Rodan.

Our first really good look at Rodan’s face as the military tries to shoot him in it. I’m a huge fan of how they designed his jawline to make it always look like he has an evil grin going on. The ancient civilizations seeing this would have definitely added some demonic lore to his legend just on this fact alone.

Well folks Idon’t think Mothra is getting out of this film alive. Not really surprising since she usually dies in any movie she is in but this pretty much confirms it. We get a really good look at her colors in this shot and she is definitely beautiful.

“Mr. Godzilla, I don’t feel so good…”

Shot of Ghidorah awakening for the first time in the Antarctic. You can see the bits of ice on his tail still and of course the snowstorm kind of givens it away too.

“This time we join him!” Very cool line and it lines up with the very heroic Godzilla the MonsterVerse is going for. I wonder how they are going to explain why Kong and Goji are going to fight since they are pretty much both the good guys in this universe.

Mothra Larva shot from trailer one. Madison really seems like she is going to have a connection to a lot of the Titans.

Mid-air collision of Ghidorah and Rodan incoming. I’m pretty sure this takes place right after the flashing Ghidorah shot and the Rodan jet chase.

While I don’t think Rodan is going to die here I do believe that Ghidorah is going to win this fight very easily.

Actually the next shot shows Rodan having the upper hand. Maybe it won’t be so easy after all.

Godzilla says hello to the tiny humans on the sub. I love the rain pouring off of Godzilla in this shot.

“Excuse me can you point me in the direction of the three-headed dragon?”

Godzilla descends back into the water and we get an amazing look at his new dorsal plates. I liked the 2014 spikes but these just scream Godzilla to me.

Quick look at the rounded tail slapping back into the water as he swims away. This is one of the design changes I am not really a fan of. Godzilla had a rounded tail throughout most of the films but honestly I like the aesthetic of the pointed tail a lot more.

Serizawa gets up close and personal with a presumably injured Godzilla. This is an extention of the Godzilla lair shots from the other trailers.

Is that a practical Godzilla snout? if not that’s some really impressive CG.

Let me tell you about my best friend! The military charges with Godzilla towards the final confrontation with Ghidorah in Boston.

Madison seems to be standing in the destroyed Fenway Park watching Godzilla approach. Did she call him here somehow and accidentally get Ghidorah first? Hmmmm…

This looks like it would be the perfect place for the new Godzilla theme to play.

Surprisingly this is the first shot we have of Godzilla and Ghidorah actually fighting one another. This is Boston again and I love that Mike is continuing Gareth’s trend of showing the monster fights from the human perspective. I’m sure we will still get the big sweeping battle shots but these really ground the film and make the Titans seem huge.

During these last few shots we get the coolest line in the trailer, “This is Godzilla’s world. We just live in it.” That pretty much sums up the theme of this movie that Mike seems to be going for. Humans are no longer the dominant species of planet earth.

Also glad to see the charging effect is back again from 2014. Also something to note is that this shot does not link up with the next as the TV spot would like you to think. This shot is definitely from the Antarctic battle hinted at in the last trailer. Note the snow.

And of course we end on the call to arms shot from trailer one.

And that’s about it folks! We are still expecting one more full trailer to drop before the movie releases so keep an eye out for at least one more breakdown to be on the way. What did you guys think of the new TV spot?

'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' Set Visit Reports -Putting The God Back In Godzilla

So today is a huge day for ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters.’ The embargo has lifted on the set visits and so we are getting articles from all of the big movie sites. We of course were not invited to the set but I figured everyone would like a place to find all of the links to the other sites that were super lucky. Check them out!

That’s all of them that I have found so far but keep checking back as I will just keep adding links to this article as I find them. There’s so much good information in all of these but keep in mind there are some tiny spoilers involved. Nothing that will ruin the movie for you but if you want to go in blind I would avoid these until after the film releases.
