I don't watch comics-based films hoping for the supervillain to prevail, and I don't watch crime dramas hoping that the perpetrator gets away. I'm on the respective sides of superheroes and law enforcement in those cases. But when humanity tries to stop Godzilla in his tracks, I root for the giant monster tearass-ing its way through a city and leaving destruction and death in its wake. Why? Because the giant monster is cool.
