If the Godzilla franchise is rebooted, the first hour will be devoted to explaining the Manhattan Project and the angsty scientist hero's father will be helping out Oppenheimer.

GOD yes, I HATE HATE HATE unnecessary exposition!

How could you want to deny the world a sexy romp like that?

I always much prefer to leave small clues as to the origins of what's happened and allow the viewers to speculate for themselves.

Heh heh...yeah, crabby is joking too. But problem is just as everyone says. The "funny article" is not so much funny as it is REALLY REALLY CLOSE to the kind of stuff that is actually being made nowadays.
