Speaking to io9 and other members of the press at a recent event in Tokyo, Dougherty touched on Serizawa's calls for balance in the movie--and the world we start to see take shape over the course of King of the Monsters' Blue-Öyster-Cult-soundtracked end titles--and how it called back to a kind of fantastical storytelling he felt had gone out of style in modern movies: I've always loved Jules Verne style adventures. I feel like movies don't have enough of that anymore. I personally love theories about lost civilizations and growing up, I'll never forget the disappointment felt when I found out that mankind and dinosaur did not live together. You know? That decades of Ray Harryhausen movies lied to me. This seemed like a natural fit. Personally, I loved the concept that there was a previous civilization that figured out how to live with the kaiju, that cracked that code and figured out how to form a symbiotic relationship for their own survival. And that some cataclysm broke that relationship. And so, while human beings went off and forgot about their connection to the monsters, and chalked up the monsters to fairy tales and legends, Godzilla never forgot. You know, which is why he has some weird distant memory of these tiny, little squeaky creatures. And maybe there is some sort of affection there, which is why Serizawa is all 'we would be like his pets,' because maybe that's how he views us.
