If you read the book without playing the game itll be easier for you to identify with the main character

They're focusing more on new Kaiju universe because monsters fighting each other is more relatable to Americans

Theres some sort of legal agreement with Toho. If I remember correctly, the rule between the US and Toho is that only one live action Godzilla film can be made at a time.
Since they were putting all their bets on King of the Monsters, they decided making a Shin Godzilla 2 would distract time and effort away from the new Kaiju universe since Shin Godzilla is an independent reboot
Shin did PHENOMENAL in Japan. The very first Godzilla movie focused on anti-nuclear war because a few years prior Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed by the US.
Shin was popular because it focused more on tsunami and flooding and power plant meltdowns.
Toho kept Godzillas natural disaster aspect of himself relevant so it would strike a more relatable core to the new generation of Japanese

I'm still mad we arent getting a sequel. They scrapped it when they decided to remake the Kaiju universe with Godzilla King of the Monsters

Pitbulls are HISTORICALLY one of the most wonderful dogs. They used to be known as "nanny dogs" because of how good they were with children.
Dogs in general dont bite at someone for no reason. Sometimes dogs can be aggressive due to trauma or mental illness.
If your friends have pitbulls and they claim their dogs are vicious then your friends either trained them to be aggressive, they arent as good dog owners as they claim to be or the dogs could be sick or have come from a previous abusive family
