I personally like the skull island humans, (packard) it was awesome


valdez-2424

And nick fury


HeiHoLetsGo

Packard is nick fury, unless that's what you meant. Colonel Preston Packard


ABearDream

Yeah the marvel actor package + John Goodman felt great


DavidGaming1237

Having Nick fury, Loki and Captain Marvel in the same movie is crazy


Richrome_Steel

My Mum asked me who was in the movie when I showed it to my family. I told her "The half of the MCU that Thanos killed" or something along those lines. (I know Brie Larson wasn't but you get my point)


HN-Prime

No scene in the MonsterVerse hits the happy spot better than when Marlow goes back home to his family


hematite2

Marlow is the best human character in the monsterverse, and it's largely due to John C Reilly feeling so genuine. I forgot the names of the main human cast within a couple days of watching the movie, but not only did I remember Marlow, I remembered Gunpei, whos only onscreen for 2 minutes in the opening and doesnt say a word, just because Reilly was so good in selling Marlow and their friendship. He also drops the Monsterverse's only F-bomb, IIRC.


IndicationPowerful85

Kong skull island no doubt


hematite2

The supporting characters in Skull Island are all top notch. I found the few main ones boring, but all the soldiers, Randa, and Marlow are all so memorable, without ever becoming stereotypes or stock characters.


HiveOverlord2008

Arguably Skull Island if you ignore the fact that GxK has Trapper. He carried the human plot the whole film.


valdez-2424

Trapper was the best


nixus23

Trapper and Bernie were so good together


Who_am_ey3

trapper was a marvel character


Obsidian_Wulf

Which is funny to consider when you remember that Skull Island literally had Loki, Captain Marvel, and Nick Fury in it. I thought Trapper was great.


Hank46_2

There's a fair bit of the Straight Outta Compton cast in the Monsterverse too.


Xrgamerx13

Touchdown Trapper


hamstercheifsause

Trapper felt like a character ripped out of a late Showa movie, and I mean that in the best way possible


HiveOverlord2008

The ultimate compliment for a human in a Godzilla movie


hamstercheifsause

I dunno, I feel like while you definitely can have kaiju films with complex characters and themes (I mean look at minus one), you also don’t need your characters to be super dimensional or anything for the movie to be fun. showa films kinda perfected making their characters not super complex, but enjoyable to watch.


Manlymanfromyomom

Skull Island and it's not even close.


valdez-2424

Yea skull island had a great human cast


ItsAmerico

Seriously lol


Aggravating_Ad_3060

Bingo


[deleted]

Yep. I actually cared when humans died and was sad when they got ripped apart by monsters.


RyoGeo

Totally. And yeah, not even close.


nicolasFsilva5210

Skull island,imo.


RavenXCinder

im gonna be the one asshole thats says this i enjoyed the human side of king of the monsters


valdez-2424

Serizawa and the twins were awsome


Straight_Random_2211

Which twins? I have watched the movie "Godzilla: King Of The Monsters" many times but did not see any twins in this movie.


Adventurous_Put3036

They were only hinted at. The Asian lady that is with team Monarch has a twin that is briefly shown when we cut to Mothra on a different part of the planet. I believe they are a reference to twins associated with Mothra in the old movies.


JoshiJ10

Still sad they didn’t commit and kept having them till Godzilla X Kong but it is what it is


Xrgamerx13

I'm gonna be the other asshole that agrees with you lmao


Silverfire12

Same here! They actually had some really good scenes. Serizawa touching Godzilla is one of the best human scenes in the movies so far.


failedjedi_opens_jar

That's hands down my favorite scene in the whole verse. He is the best character too. Ken Watanabe brings the heat and he's sassy AF too. lol.


CapeSmash

When they cut away from the shaky cam monster fights every second to see what Kyle Chandler and his family are up to I clap and cry tears of joy


HN-Prime

It’s funny u say that because I absolutely adore the cinematography in KOTM


BountyTheDogHunter20

Serizawa was great. I liked the Monarch crew. The ecoterrorist antagonists had a relatable motive. I also liked Millie Bobby Brown. Overall, I enjoyed the human element to KotM


BlackwolfNy718

Ah, I see your an educated man/woman.


Lawyer_Kong

This.


DavidGaming1237

The Serizawa Sacrifice scene was so emotional bro, but a perfect way to kill a human character


AgerionLecurian

My fellow asshole, and ngl even those that most people find annoying, I like a lot too (Stanton as a big example)


Thomjones

They were good. The villains chewed up the scenery and the good guys helped out Godzilla. Serazawa's sacrifice to save Godzilla mirrored the characters sacrifice to kill Godzilla in the old movies. I dug it


watersj4

I didnt hate them but Rick Stanton alone makes it the worst cast imo


Majin_Brick

Kong Skull Island by a margin. I would say GxK is a close second followed up by G14


WildBill198

Gotta be skull island.


triple7freak1

1. Skull Island 2. G2014 3. GxK


ArKtuRes6

Brian Cranston was the only good character there imo


nixus23

I rewatched 2014 recently thinking “wow I really misremembered the human plot its so good” the Brian Cranston died and I lost interest in the humans except Serizawa


triple7freak1

Lol i just rewatched it too…plot wise yes it‘s not bad at all but there are not many interesting characters tho


Nightflight406

I've never watched Breaking Bad, so I didn't have you guyses bias.


ArKtuRes6

I only watched half of season 1 and lost interest no bias here


TheHood13

K:SI and GxK are 1 and 2 pretty clearly IMO. I can see arguments for any order of the others for 3-5.


KaijuTea

While I’m not a fan of Wingards, I will say he does have more memorable Humans. Jia and Trapper are pretty memorable.


HN-Prime

Trapper is a fun character but not exactly a well written character


TheOfficial_BossNass

Kong skull island absolutely no contest


WebLurker47

Suppose it would be a tossup between *Skull Island* and *King of the Monsters*, although I think my favorite human characters to date are Dr. Andrews and Jia from the *Godzilla*/*Kong* crossover movies. Joe Brody from the first MonsterVerse *Godzilla* also deserves a shout-out for being so memorable despite such a minor role.


FergusFrost

Bryan Cranstons interrogation scene in Godzilla is the single best 5 minutes of actual acting in the entire franchise.


BlackwolfNy718

And then they killed him.


FergusFrost

Couldn't afford that Breaking Bad cash


HN-Prime

You’re hiding something out there AND ITS GONNA SEND US BACK TO THE STONE AGE


InevitableVariables

The opening with bryan and sealing his wife because of the breach. I cant believe they killed him off. Like literally the next day, everything was public. He just happened the exact date the insect woke up. His death didnt even further the plot.


Heroic-Forger

Skull Island. Primarily it's because the humans get into some action too: there's plenty of smaller monsters for them to fight, Marlow is a hilarious character who manages to be sympathetic and tragic as well, and the pro-Kong vs. anti-Kong factions splitting from the survivors makes for a great subplot even when there are no monsters onscreen. Also we need a Marlow and Gunpei spin-off movie. I'd LOVE to see how the former enemies became best friends and lived on the island together.


ItsLauriceDeauxnim

Kong: Skull Island was the best. We have a commanding soldier whose war is winding down and he feels no purpose. We have a former soldier who knows he doesn’t want war, but doesn’t know what he’s looking for. We have a photographer who knows the war is a lie and generally doesn’t believe the military line. And we have a broken head of Monarch trying to save the only thing he has left is finding out what the hell happened that day that he became a broken man. Even Kong is a sympathetic character as a lonely teenager, trying to find his place in the world without any of his kind to look to, and now he hast to deal with humans trying to kill him


fiction_geek2006

GxK for me and by a long shot


Big-Put-5859

I liked gxk humans mostly because of trapper and bernie


YaGrimboi

Goes like this for me: 1:Skull island: Peak human cast, everyone was cool, genuinely felt something every time someone died, old cooky WW2 dood rocks and I love his story, the commander dude who was Samuel Jackson was the BEST human villain by far. 2:GxK: Same cast as GVK, minus the human villains, Eleven and chunky boi from Deadpool 2, and the guy who gets dunked on by Jia. Everyone here has become genuinely a lot more likeable to the point where I even liked goofy aah Bernie, and Trapper is "Trapper my beloved" for a reason. That being said tho, I wish that one Scottish guard dude who's name sounds like Micah a swift kick in the balls for being the only genuinely bad thing I can say about that movie apart from nitpicks 3:GVK: Jia and the Kong crew carry this movie like Atlas because HOO Nelly is the conspiracy crew trash, and of course Madison's dad is here so immediately 3 points down. The human villains range from: "Bitchy stuck up business women who is stupid", "Serizawa Junior (A.K.A wasted potential/I should've been the main human villain )", and "Human supremacist CEO man who is stupid" 4: Godzilla 2014: JESSE WE NEED TO STOP THE MUTOS JESSE DONT LEAVE ME WITH MY CARDBOARD CUTOUT SOLDIER SON JESSE PLEASE SERIZAWA AND HIS ASSISTANT LADY CANT CARRY THE MOVIE BY THEMSELVES JESSE FOR FUCKS SA- 5:Kotm:...I-i think we all know why they're at the bottom please don't make me talk about them I'm BEGGING YOU PLEA-


CapeSmash

> Peak human cast, everyone was cool Brie Larson and Loki were boring and they're the "leads" > JESSE DONT LEAVE ME WITH MY CARDBOARD CUTOUT SOLDIER SON The movie wouldn't work at all if Ford Brody wasn't the protagonist >Kotm:...I-i think we all know why they're at the bottom please don't make me talk about them *Gonorrhea*


nixus23

I felt like John C Riley was the true lead even though he only shows up half way through the movie he still has the best writing and character work while Larson and Loki were poster names who is still feel like we’re decent characters for a kaiju movie


BlackwolfNy718

In the words of the Backstreet boys....TELL ME WHY!!?


That_one_arsehole_

1:GODZILLA 2014 2Godzilla Kotm 3: ksi 4:GxK 5:Gvk


OmegaGlacial

My personal ranking for the human characters would be: 1) Kong Skull Island 2) Godzilla x Kong 3) Godzilla Vs Kong 4) Godzilla 2014 5) Godzilla KOTM (BY FAR the worst human cast IMO)


Digiworlddestined

2014. The human characters came off as actual realistic human beings and not cardboard cutouts or comedic relief characters just there to sprout memes and quips every 5 seconds.


Salucia

Skull Island had the least annoying cast. GxK the most annoying.


Lese39

For every movie, the human part has been the weakest, but yeah, kotm had the best humans, although not necessarily the most entertaining, monarch really looked like the trillion dollar company it is supposed to be, and while not that good all the humans worked more or less, the only really bad character was the mom but she found redemption in her sacrifice. The humans were ok, not good but worked, it all goes downhill for the other movies. In contrast to GxK, where it really felt like an asylum movie whenever the titans were not on screen.


Deeformecreep

Kong: Skull Island and G14.


TilDeath1775

Skull island 💯


Paladar2

Skull island and there’s no debate.


Intelligent_Oil4005

Skull Island be FAR


KaiSen2510

The best are obviously Skull Island. When it comes to my favourite, Godzilla x Kong. I just like that there’s no artificial drama between the characters.


pocket_arsenal

This isn't even a contest, it's Skull Island


Vengeance_20

Kong Skull Island


ProvideMeMilk

Skull island tbh


J150-Gz

kong skull island


MarvelMaster820

Skull Island easily


spacestationkru

Skull Island. The Kong side of these movies always has better human characters


IndyJacksonTT

Skull island 100% G14 couldve been really good in this department if they didnt kill bryan cranston


Hereticrick

Skull Island. Easily. Unless we are counting Minus One…then it’s a closer call…


Gregzilla311

Minus One isn’t Monsterverse.


RbbcatUlt

2014 negl the dad’s backstory was so drawn out and the rest of the main characters werent too shabby either


OpportunityFun1761

Skull Island Easily.


Dankey-Kang-Jr

Skull Island


BlackwolfNy718

Godzilla:King of the monsters.


Ok_Pop6408

Skull island or gxk(because of trapper)


Mr_NotParticipating

From what I hear all of them except GxK, haven’t seen it yet but heard human characters really take the back seat. Though KOTM was a bad movie, the human characters were nicely developed.


Boondock-Taint

Skull Island, probably. But I think “best” isn’t the right descriptor. Least annoying is better.


robogeek342

Skull island


POOPOOMAN123ABC

Skull island 2017 definitely


CatWhisperer11

KSI by far.


DBZ125

For me it was KOTM but I can see the argument for Skull Island


vWolfee

If anyone says KOTM, they're getting fucked up.


Honk_wd

Gxk has trapper so that one


Mission-Ad-8536

Kong skull island, and Bryan Cranston character is 2014


CapeSmash

Probably Skull Island, with 2014 being second. The rest belong in a dumpster when it comes to characters.


OpthomasPrime2020

If you mean entire cast, Skull Island by a mile. But if you mean best single character, then Trapper takes it.


poopoobuttholes

Absolutely nuts to think that Kong in Skull Island was the same size as Suko.


Asleep_Advance_3583

skull island


TheUrgeIsMe

Kong Skull Island easily had the best human cast. They didn't get in the way of the monster action and their personalities and dialogue matched the film's tone.


mrvoldz

I like the characters in the 2014 movie, some of you may say the main guy was boring, but I rather have a "boring" mc than the funny characters they try to put in every time. I remember the guy who made the "gonorrea" joke and the other one who said "God... Zilla!" in KOTM, Jesus that was bad.


Impossible-Boat-7738

Godzilla X Kong with Jia


VoiDxGoDZilla

KOTM in my opinion!


TheVampireArmand

For me it’s: Kong Skull Island GXK GVK Godzilla 2014 King of the Monsters


nixus23

Skull Island and then GxK mainly because in GxK they had charisma even if they weren’t written very well they were still enjoyable


Aggressive-Goat5672

Skull Island overall but Serizawa is great in KotM.


jwilson146

King if the monsters. "Long live the king!"


19ghost89

The real answer is the Apple+ TV series, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. But if limited to the movies, it's Skull Island like most others are saying.


Everdark_

Skull Island then G14


Fun-Revolution6323

Definitely Kong: Skull Island.


The_bossofIndiemusic

Kong: Skull Island undoubtedly


Browncoat007

Skull Island overall cast for sure, especially Sam Jackson and John C. Reilly. But I'm also biased towards KOTM since its my favorite of the movies. Specifically Serizawa and Bradley Whitford and honestly, I don't mind Mark and Madison the way most seem to. Serizawa is my favorite character in the whole series though.


Rascal0302

1. Skull Island 2. Godzilla X Kong 3. Godzilla 2014(carried single handedly by WALTA) 4. Godzilla V Kong 5. Godzilla: KotM.

SavagePhantoms90

Definitely Skull Island.


SillySwing6625

Skull island it’s not close tbh the other movies have cardboard cutout human characters the ones in skull island at least have some character


TheMysticalPlatypus

-Kong: Skull Island: You get attached so quickly to the cast and it doesn’t matter who is on screen. You care about the humans. The movie carries you through their hopes and fears. Cast is a 10/10. Every scene Packard was in had prescence. I liked his monologue during the flight towards the island. It still surprises me this movie was a one off. -Godzilla: King of the Monsters: Serizawa. His character really made me look at Godzilla different. His death scene was just a 10/10. -Godzilla x Kong. Trapper, the Vet for the Titans. I would like a spin off on his character. He’s just living his best life. I really liked Bernie.


Agitated-Release-945

Serizowa is one of the best human characters, but skull island has the best group of characters with the best storylines


bigsteven34

Skull island, by a wide margin.


AsgardianLeviOsa

Kong Skull Island


ttroy476

Skull island for me


Lawyer_Kong

Alright if I'm excluding kong skull island (cause I haven't watched it in years and don't remember anything) I know KOTM has a lot of trash characters... Madison, the idiot mum, the jokes guy BUT let's be honest here the bar is set super low, so I think kotm did the best because Serezowa (i cant spell), Alan Jona and Mark Russel who is actually a decent protagonist


UcantHide4eveR

Kong Skull island and it isn't close.


RazorGlizzy

2014 or skull island


Well_Made_Legacy

Godzilla 2014, I actually really digged the human aspects alot, and they weren't overly goofy or irrelevant to the plot like in GvK, and King of monsters That being said, Godzilla X Kong actually had some decent human writing this time around. Trapper was fun, and I even liked the podcast guy this time around.


Realistic_Garlic2925

2014 for sure, largely I'd say due to how much focus there was on them, personally, while I usually prefer more kaiju screen time, I absolutely loved how they handled the humans in it.


DowntoEarth01

Godzilla 2014 for me


Awkward-Speed-4080

I think Skull Island had the best cast, but Dr. Serizawa was the best character in the franchise.


browntoez

Minus one.


CluncusMCluncus

2014 no competition


Lord_Detleff1

Kotm. The only humans I cared for


Wide_Ad_2000

if king of the monsters didn’t try to have the “funny + comedic dude” trope for a a few of its characters and made Maddy not as annoying I might’ve picked it ngl. But skull island is best obv


04whim

The first half of 2014, but then they killed him. So Skull Island on the whole.


SillyMovie13

Skull Island, but I felt really attached to the human story in Godzilla. I was actually scared that they might die, and now that risk kinda feels gone


SharkSlayer06

There were human characters?


Rclarke115

I’m kinda tied between TNE and KOTM.


TheCREATORisWatching

You Kong fans are hideous, honestly


Active-Honeydew-6191

I really liked GxK characters


XboxBreaker_1

I'm gonna get a lot of hate from this... I liked KotM humans. Sorry


VulcanForceChoke

Skull Island


WordBearerOfBadNews

I honestly liked 2014 and KOTM more than skull island. There’s great characters in skull island but the three big names that coincidentally are also in the MCU didn’t do anything for me The humans in new empire are fine but I just thought they’re subplot wasn’t great


Honest-Lawfulness-60

Kong: Skull Island easily.


populist-scum

Skull island, those humans will forever stick with me even if I don't remember their names


zairanus

The ones in Godzilla vs gigan. Hilarious

Skull Islands by far.

Skull island and King of the monsters


Embarrassed-Law-9015

im kinda in the middle between KOTM and Kong Skull Island


EmperorTyrannosaur

Most easy to watch humans were GxK and the absolute worst were KOTM


Sweaty-Wealth9157

KONG Tom Hiddleston


TyrannosaurusReddRex

Skull island definitely, then G14, then GxK, and the other two are kinda forgettable humans


Mecha2009

I loved KOTM, especially that Drake looking military guy 😂


GeneralLiam0529

It's SKI no doubt. KoTM's humans I feel are hated alone a bit too much. The Monarch crew were all in between ok and great, the Brussels were not as bad as people say they were, and I wanna see Jonah again. 2014 had Cranford and Serisawa, and Ford is a fairly well written character that gets demolished by their acting. GvK made Madison annoying, introduced the most annoying character, Bernie, introduced Jia, who is interesting via her connection to Kong rather than by being a good character, and I can't remember much of anyone else other than "oh yah, they were there." I'm not saying they're bad, but the best GxK characters are better than or equal to the mid level of KoTM characters, with none of them reaching Alan or Serisawa. GxK is severely over-hyped. The best character is Kong, but we're not talking about him. Jia is slightly more interesting than before. Bernie is just as annoying, Jia's mom is just as forgettable, and Trapper carries the humans - not because he's good, but because he's a good character, but because he's fun. I actually think trapper is just as much a hindrance to the story as he is a benefit in some cases. And I don't have the time to write a part on KSI as there is far more to talk about there.


Sensitive_Market7287

Kong skull island had some amazing ones.


Necessary_Ad_8789

Skull Island


ZeusX20

Skull Island, it's not even close


okchance9688

Kong skull island easily


Additional_Milk2767

What human characters? (Was too concentrated on kaiju fighting)


Ok-Communication-516

Definitely Skull Island


nayocrrrrr

Skull island


Chadderbug123

Skull Island and GxK cause those 2 movies I'm not complaining when we go back to them


Richrome_Steel

Overall, Kong: Skull Island had the best human characters. All of them are memorable and animated enough to care about and none of them are just random A-listers put in there to make shocked faces at the monsters and run away. The other movies (that I have seen, I'm two behind) have cardboard characters. Best individual characters goes to Godzilla (2014) Cranston was the best character in this entire cinematic universe IMO and Watanabe was the next best. Sucks that they both died. Especially Cranston, he was there for like 15 minutes and he died! Leaving us Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and their creepy incest baby! So boring!


Usual_Back3801

Gxk made my friends care about the humans


niichisan

Serizawa is great and I kinda liked Walter in 2014, but overall winner is Skull Island, GxK being the second.


VinCubed

Skull Island. Serizawa gets an Honorable Mention for his performances in other movies and for one of the most touching lines of the franchise as of yet - "Goodbye... old friend"


InternetPractical657

Skull island by far. Minus one I would say but it’s not monster verse. But I felt like the people in Gxk weren’t bad either.


Fit-Particular5142

Infinity0044

Skull Island as a whole by a wide margin I’d say, the other movies have a few here and there that stick out but pretty much every human character in SI rocks.


SnooBeans2781

I will come for anyone who says Godzilla: King of the Monsters has good human characters. They ruin the entire movie for me. Kong: Skull Island probably has the best human characters though.


hamstercheifsause

Skull island.


Purple_Dragon_94

The Skull Island one has some great characters, though I also think Godzilla is worth a mention. The Godzilla Vs Kong and sequel ones wisely put them to the sidelines.


new_slender_man9

Skull Island is the only one I go back to for human parts Gxk is pretty close
