Cocksure

Alex pressed herself against the closet wall, her breath shallow, heart pounding so loud she feared it might betray her. The slatted door let in thin slivers of light allowing her to peer in. The apartment was dark, but the faint musk of cologne, protein powder, and something primal lingered, twisting her stomach.

She was trapped, hiding in the bedroom closet of the place she once called hers, waiting for the man she loved, or more accurately the monster he’d become, to fall asleep. How had it come to this? Her mind spiraled back, piecing together the nightmare that had led her here.

It started three weeks ago, in their new apartment, a dusty haven where she and Zack had laughed over thrift store furniture and tangled cords, dreaming of their final college year together. They were assembling a lopsided bookcase when Zack tugged at a loose floorboard. He cracked it open, revealing a hidden object.

When he unveiled it, Alex recoiled with equal parts disgust and laughter. It was a large, flesh toned rubber dildo, grotesque and out of place. She laughed as Zack waved it around, dubbing it “Excalibur.” But her amusement turned to horror when he jokingly slid it into his pants.

His eyes widened, then rolled back. He collapsed, convulsing, as his body transformed before her eyes, muscles bulging, jaw sharpening, height stretching. The dildo melted, merging with him, enveloping his own modest dick, becoming real.

When he stood, he was no longer the same nerdy Zack she loved. His soft features were gone, replaced by a chiseled, godlike face with piercing green eyes. And his voice, now cruel and cold, called her an “ugly loser,” a “zero not worthy of him.” He threw her out, slamming the door on her pleas.

Since then, Zack had become a campus legend. A six foot something quarterback, worshipped by the football team and adored by fans. He strutted around with head cheerleader Madison, once a kind, approachable girl who’d organized charity drives and remembered everyone’s name.

Now, Madison was different, vain, cold, her social media filled with smirks and tight outfits, her warmth replaced by a queen bee edge. When once she used to actively defy the mean bitch stereotype of a cheerleader, she now embraced it, embodied it with pleasure.

Alex didn't know how but she knew Madison's new attitude was solely because of Zack's corrupted cock. It had turned him into an arrogant bastard who thought he was god's gift to the world so it stood to reason that he had rubbed off on her. Or more accuracy, entered her. The thought made Alex shudder.

That's why Alex was hiding in the closet now. She had to stop him before he infected anyone else with his darkness. Sure he was with Madison now but what would happen when he moved on to other innocent good natured women. She had to get that thing off of Zack before he made an army of Madisons.

However as she listened to Zack on speaker phone as he emerged from the bathroom after freshly showering her assumption that his new anatomy had corrupted Madison was put into question.

“Baaaaaaabe. Where are you? I want that cock of yours.” Said Madison from down the line clearly tipsy with the sound of a celebration in the background.

Zach smirked. “I just need to change and then I'll be over, everyone knows the party doesn't start until I get there.” He said making Alex's eyes roll.

“Oooookay, but when you get here you're fucking me first! You've promised for weeks you'd bang my brains out. I want the power you promised me! I deserve it don't I?” Madison whined.

Alex’s mind reeled. If they hadn’t had sex, how had Madison changed? And what would happen when they did?

“Yeah, yeah I will. Gotta go.” He said in reply, not even waiting for her to say anything back before hanging up. He threw his phone onto the bed and flexed in the mirror, marvelling at himself. “You're not deserving of my cock. Not yet.”

As he continued to pose and flex, his towel slipped from his hips to display his full godlike body. Despite Alex's new revulsion to his attitude she felt herself get momentarily weak at the sight of him. There was no denying his beauty, his raw power. She shook her head, trying to focus on the task at hand.

“Only I'm worthy of my cock right now.” He growled as he wrapped his right hand around his impressive member. Alex’s cheeks burned, and she averted her eyes, but the sound of skin on skin kept her attention pinned.

He let out a low, self satisfied chuckle, his hand moving with slow, deliberate intent. Alex’s stomach churned as she realized what he was doing. The air felt thicker, heavier, like the room itself was holding its breath. Zack’s breathing grew ragged, his movements more rhythmic, and Alex tried to close her eyes but she was drawn to watching it like a moth to the flame.

Zack’s moans grew louder, more primal. His hand moved faster, but more precise. It was like watching a musician at the top of his game play his instrument. Alex couldn't stop herself from getting a little turned on by what she was seeing. She was transfixed by it. She didn't know how long she was watching before Zach arched his body, a guttural sound tearing from his throat.

“I'm a king! I'm a fucking god!” He yelled as cum erupted from his cock and shot onto the mirror. His grip loosed and his speed eased as he smirked self satisfied at himself. He collapsed back onto the mattress, panting, a lazy grin spreading across his face.

“Goddamn.” He muttered, wiping his brow. “Better every time.” He sprawled naked across the sheets, his limbs heavy with the arrogance of someone who owned the world. His phone buzzed once, twice, but he ignored it, his breathing slowing as the sapped energy became too much and sleep claimed him.

She counted his breaths, waiting until they deepened, steady and slow. Minutes dragged by, ten, maybe fifteen. Finally, she eased the closet door open, wincing at the faint creak. Zack didn’t stir.

She crept toward the bed, her bare feet silent on the carpet. Her hands trembled as she approached. Up close, Zack was even more imposing, his chest rising and falling, muscles taut even in sleep, his face a perfect mask of beauty and menace. And there, exposed, was the source of it all. His cursed cock, resting against his thigh, unnaturally flawless even in its now flaccid state.

Alex’s throat tightened. She had to try. She knelt beside the bed, her breath hitching as she reached out. Her fingers hovered, hesitating, then wrapped gently around it, her touch feather light.

It was warm, like it had a pulse of its own. She gave a small tug, expecting resistance, but hoping it might somehow detach. But it didn’t budge. She tried again, a little harder, her grip tightening. Still nothing.

Zack’s breathing remained steady, his face untroubled. Emboldened, Alex tugged again, then again, her movements slow and careful at first, almost clinical. On the third tug, a single drop of cum emerged, glistening at the tip before sliding down, dripping over her fingers.

She froze, her stomach lurching with disgust, but the sensation was fleeting, replaced by a strange tingling. Her nails began to grow, lengthening into perfect, glossy manicures, their edges sharpening with an eerie precision.

Alex’s eyes widened as she lifted her hand, the drop of cum still warm on her skin, and turned her fingers in the dim light. The manicure was flawless, long, sleek, with a high gloss finish that caught the faint glow. A thought slipped into her mind, unbidden, “This looks hawt.”

She bit her lip, admiring the way the nails made her hand look elegant, feminine, sexy even. She tried to push the thought aside, shaking her head slightly. Focus, she told herself. This is to save him. But the allure was undeniable, a small thrill sparking in her chest.

She swapped hands, wrapping her other hand around Zack’s cock, assuring herself that it was to try a different position but deep down a part of her hoped another drop would spill out to give her hands a matching set of nails.

To the delight of that part of her psyche another drop of cum popped out. It glistened as it dripped over her hand, and she felt the now familiar tingling ripple through her skin. Her nails began to grow, matching the first, long, glossy, and perfect.

The pride swelled, her mind warping further as she admired her hands. “I deserve to look this good.” She thought, the idea feeling foreign yet intoxicating. She shook off the intrusive thought, she was here to save him after all not get a new set of claws.

“Does he need saving?” Said a new thought that slithered into her mind. “This Zack is powerful, beautiful, commanding. Why would I change that?” It continued. Alex felt her mind at war with itself and as she would usually do in stressful situations she raised her hand to bite at her nails.

However in that moment she forgot, or maybe deep down chose not to remember, that cum was still on her fingers. A small amount coated her lips and a tiny drop slipped into her mouth. She swallowed it absentmindedly, the taste sharp and warm, sending a shiver down her spine.

Her pupils dilated and her lips plumped up in an instance. They become fuller, softer, a perfect, glossy pout that seemed designed to seduce. The sensation was immediate, her arousal spiked, a wave of heat flooding her body. Her nipples hardened, her thighs clenched, and her mind fogged with a raw, primal need.

Her thoughts twisted further, the subtle corruption sinking deeper. She stared at Zack’s cock, her mouth watering as the taste lingered on her tongue. “He’s mine.” She thought, the possessiveness startling her.

She tried to shake it off, to focus on her original goal, her hand returning, wrapping around his cock. However her tugs became slower, more rhythmic, almost sensual, as she imagined what it would be like to walk alongside him as who he is now, rather than the nerd he once was

To be the kind of woman who could match his perfection. The good, nerdy Alex who cared about others, who valued kindness and humility, was starting to fell like a distant memory, a weak shadow she was leaving behind with every passing second.

The longer she tugged at his cock the more it began to harden. A strange sense of pride flickered within her, uninvited. She was doing this to him, even in his sleep. She, Alex, the shy girl who always played it safe, was making this godlike man horny. The thought sent a shiver through her.

The desire pulsing through Alex became too much to resist, a relentless tide that drowned her fading resolve. Her mouth watered as she stared at Zack’s cock.

She tried to justify it, her mind scrambling for a rational excuse. “My hands are working, sort of, but I need more leverage.” She told herself. “So maybe if my mouth tries, it could loosen whatever’s holding it to him.” Deep down, she knew it was a flimsy plan, a dumb excuse that wasn’t supposed to work, that couldn’t possibly work.

But the corruption had taken root, her thoughts warping further with every heartbeat. The idea of saving Zack, of restoring the nerdy boy she once knew, felt increasingly irrelevant, almost laughable. Why would she want to undo this perfection? This powerful, beautiful man beneath her hands could be hers, no! Should be hers! The thought sent a thrill through her, her nipples hardening further as a wicked smile tugged at her lips.

Alex’s restraint shattered completely, the hunger consuming her entirely. She couldn’t resist any longer, she needed to taste him fully. Her hands trembled as she leaned in, her enhanced lips parting, and she wrapped them around Zack’s cock, the warmth and texture overwhelming her senses.

The taste exploded on her tongue, rich and intoxicating, sending a shiver of pleasure through her body. Her eyes rolled back, a muffled moan vibrating in her throat as she surrendered to the sensation, her mind spiralling deeper into its subtle corruption.

The act itself fuelled the transformation within her. The good, cautious Alex faded further, her thoughts warping with every bob of her head. She wasn’t just doing this to save him anymore, she was doing this out of pure selfish pleasure for herself.

Her mind painted vivid images, herself strutting through campus, head held high, her flawless body a testament to her new dominance. The old Alex, with her nerdy insecurities and selfless heart, felt like a distant ghost, one she was eager to bury.

She imagined crushing that weak version of herself, her glossy nails tearing through that fragile spirit, and the thought sent a jolt of wet heat through her. Her movements grew more confident, her tongue swirling with a newfound skill she never had before, her lips sliding with a rhythm that felt almost instinctive.

Drops of precum flower down her throat, tightening her body as it entered stomach. Her waist cinched leaving her hips wider, her ass more pronounced as a result. Fuzzy hair all over her body retracted in giving her smooth velvety skin. Her skin took on a golden tan replacing the ghost like paleness she had cultivated to now.

Her mind whispered dark promises. “Make him yours. Become a bitch. Take your throne.” The idea was intoxicating, drowning out the last remnants of her original intent. She wasn't here to save him, she was here to claim him.

Zack stirred, a low groan rumbling from his throat as his body registered the intense pleasure coursing through him. His eyes fluttered open, confusion flickering across his face as the haze of sleep lifted and he realized, despite her changes, that his ex girlfriend’s lips were wrapped around his cock. “Alex?” He rasped, his voice thick with sleep and shock.

She paused, her lips glistening as she pulled back just enough, her eyes locking onto his with a sultry, commanding gaze.

She pulled her lips slowly off of his cock and with a wicked smile she ran her tongue slowly up his shaft, the tip of her tongue grazing the tip of his cock. She savoured the resulting shudder. “Sorry to wake you baby. Want me to stop?” She purred, her voice low and dripping with a new, seductive authority.

Zack’s breath hitched, his eyes widening as he took in her slightly transformed appearance. Her flawless skin, her slimmer body, her glossy nails, the slutty look in her eyes. He managed to shake his head, the motion desperate, eager. “Fuck no!” He groaned.

“Right answer.” Alex murmured, her smile widening with triumph. She dove back in, her mouth working him with renewed fervor. Zack’s head fell back, a moan of ecstasy coming from his throat as she took him deeper, her hands gripping his thighs, nails leaving faint red trails.

Alex felt Zack tense beneath her, his breathing growing ragged, his thighs quivering as he teetered on the edge of release. The sensation of his impending climax sent a thrill through her, but she wasn’t ready to let it end, not yet. With a wicked smirk, she pulled back, leaving his cock throbbing in the cool air. “Not so fast.” She purred, her voice a velvet command, her eyes glinting with intent.

Zack gasped, his hands clutching the sheets, his eyes pleading as he looked up at her, desperate for more. But Alex had other plans. She stood, her flawless skin radiating power, and peeled off her clothes with a slow, deliberate motion, revealing her modest body that was soon to change.

Balling up saliva into her mouth, swirling around the bits of precum still remaining, she let it drool out of her mouth and onto her meagre A cup breasts, rubbing the liquid into them. She moaned in wanton lust as they grew bigger and bigger, becoming flawless C cups, perky and round. An improvement but she wanted more. She desired more.

Her tight pussy glistened with arousal as she climbed onto the bed, straddling him, hovering just above his aching cock. The heat between them was unbearable, a taut string ready to snap.

“Do you want me, baby?” She asked, her voice a sultry whisper, leaning closer so her hair brushed his chest, her nails grazing his skin.

Zack nodded frantically, his voice hoarse with need. “Yes, fuck yes!” He gasped. “More than anything.”

Her smile turned predatory as she positioned herself, her mind fully warped into this new, dominant persona. She wanted more. More proof.

“Tell me I’m a queen, a goddess. Tell me you’ll do anything for me. Tell me you’ll dump that pathetic Madison.” She purred, her voice a sultry command rather than a request.

Zack’s breath hitched, his body trembling with need as he gazed up at her, captivated by her transformed beauty. “You’re a queen.” He rasped, his voice thick with desperation. “A goddess. I’ll do anything for you. Anything! Madison is nothing compared to you, just… please.”

Her smile widened, a cruel satisfaction settling into her features as she savored his words, her mind fully warped into this new, commanding identity that still wasn’t happy.

She cupped his chin and leaned into his ear, her voice barely over a whisper. “Pledge your soul to me, tell me I’m your first, your last, your everything. That this evil cock of yours belongs to me. Then this pussy is all yours.”

She pulled back and for a moment was afraid he might pull a muscle from holding back so much. “Take it! You have it! It’s always been you!” He groaned loudly.

Satisfied, she shifted her hips, lowering herself slowly, deliberately, until her pussy sank onto his cock, slotting together like perfect puzzle pieces. They both moaned, the sound raw and primal, filling the room as the connection ignited.

The sensation of Zack’s cock filling her was overwhelming, a tidal wave of pleasure that crashed through Alex’s transformed body. She groaned deeply, her lips parting as moans spilled from her throat, raw and unrestrained. Her eyes fluttered shut for a moment before locking onto his, a wicked glint shining through. “Fuck me, Daddy!” She gasped, her voice thick with lust. “Fuck me until I’m a blonde alpha bitch, baby! Corrupt me fully with that evil cock!”

Zack responded with a growl, his hands gripping her hips as he thrust harder, matching the rhythm of her dirty pleas. The intensity of their union triggered further changes in her body. Her breasts swelled larger, becoming fuller and more voluptuous, straining against her skin with each movement. Her waist cinched tighter, sculpting an even more pronounced hourglass figure that accentuated her dominance. Her hair, shimmered and thickened, cascading in glossy waves of platinum blonde that framed her face like a crown, the transformation completing her into the alpha bitch she craved to be.

She arched her back, moaning loudly, her hands groping at her new big tits as she rode the waves of pleasure, her words growing more fervent. “Yes, Daddy, harder! Turn me into your perfect wicked queen! Destroy the loser Alex and make me into the slutty Lexi!” The room pulsed with their heat, her body and mind fully embracing the power and pleasure of her new identity.

The rhythm between Alex and Zack built to a fever pitch, their bodies moving in perfect sync as the pleasure reached its peak. With a shared, primal cry, they climaxed together, the orgasm crashing over them like a tidal wave. Alex’s moans mingled with Zack’s groans, her body trembling as the intensity consumed her.

As the waves of ecstasy pulsed through her, she felt the last fragile remnants of the timid, nerdy girl who once sought to save him be wiped away entirely. The final traces of that weak, caring self dissolved, erased by the flood of power and pleasure, leaving only Lexi, the blonde alpha bitch, reigning supreme in her new, untainted form. Her kind brown eyes melted away and formed into cold, icy blue eyes, her lips curling into a wicked smile as she reveled in the completeness of her transformation.

Her joy was interrupted moments later when Madison burst through the apartment door, her heels clicking with purpose, getting sick of waiting for Zack to come to her. She expected to find him alone but instead her eyes widened in horror as she stumbled upon Lexi laying astride her man like a slutty cowgirl, the air thick with the aftermath of their explosive climax.

Lexi’s platinum blonde hair cascaded wildly over her shoulders, her brilliant blue eyes gleaming with a sadistic edge as she savored the last shudders of her orgasm, her transformed body on full, arrogant display.

“You cheating bastard!” Madison shrieked, her voice quaking with fury as she pointed at Zack. “Cheating on me with this filthy whore?!” Her rage turned venomous as she glared at Lexi.

Lexi rolled her eyes, her patience obliterated by Madison’s insolence. With a predator’s grace, she slid off Zack, her flawless skin radiating a menacing allure as she rose, unfazed. She strode toward Madison with deliberate calm, her glossy nails glinting like weapons, her hips swaying with a cruel confidence that promised retribution.

Madison’s tirade continued, her insults growing more frantic. “Who do you think you are? I’m going to make sure you’re black listed across all of—”. Madison’s venom was cut short by a swift hand from Lexi, delivering a vicious slap across her face.

Zack, still sprawled on the bed, watched with rapt attention, his cock hardening visibly, a dark thrill coursing through him at Lexi’s brutality. His breath quickened, his eyes burning with arousal as he took in her commanding cruelty.

Lexi loomed over Madison, her lips curling into a sneer so cold it could freeze fire. “Let me guess, after you first hooked up you saw what the power of his cock could do when you gave him a simple handjob. It brought out the bitch in you, but you wanted more.” Lexi said as she circled Madison like a vulture.

“You ached for the power his cock could give you. That's why you came over here, why you're dressed so slutty. Well tough shit bitch, it's mine now. You’re a pathetic wannabe queen.” She hissed, her voice a blade of ice and venom. “A worthless placeholder, a little toy keeping my man entertained until his true queen returned to claim him. Why do you think he never had sex with you? He knew there was better waiting out there for him.” She smirked as she looked over to Zack who's cock was standing at full attention, unable to hide his animalistic attraction to Lexi.

“But now that I’m back, we and this campus, have no use for your existence, Madison.” She leaned in, her tone dripping with sadistic delight. ��Zack is mine again, your friends will soon beg me to lead them, your status as queen bee will fit me like a glove. I’m going to strip you of everything you have... including your designer clothes.”

Madison’s eyes widened, terror creeping into her expression as Lexi’s stalked up to her, her gaze fixed on her outfit, a scandalously sexy, black latex two piece that hugged her curves, the top barely hiding her tits and at the same time exposing her navel, paired with thigh-high stiletto boots that screamed dominance. “Take it off.” Lexi commanded, her voice a whip crack of authority. “My man and I have a party to dominate, and I want that slutty little outfit.”

Madison’s hands shook, her defiance crumbling under Lexi’s merciless stare. She hesitated, tears welling, but the threat in Lexi’s eyes was undeniable. With a choked sob, she peeled off the two pieces and kicked off the boots, the revealing latex falling to the floor as she stood naked, her dignity shattered.

Lexi snatched the outfit with a triumphant, cruel laugh and slipped into it, the fabric stretching obscenely tight over her transformed body. The pieces clung to her like a second skin, the top straining to contain her larger breasts, pushing them up into a breathtaking display of cleavage, the hem riding so high it exposed the curve of her ass.

She adjusted the stiletto boots, the heels elongating her legs into a vision of lethal elegance. She ran her hands over her hips, admiring the tightness, the way it accentuated her bigger breasts and tighter waist, her platinum hair and blue eyes completing the image of a ruthless, irresistible queen.

Zack’s gaze was riveted, his arousal palpable as he groaned, “Holy fuck, Lexi, you’re a goddamn goddess in that.” Lexi turned to him, her smirk widening with sadistic pride, then cast a final, withering glance at Madison. “You can stay here loser and sniff our sheets, me and my man have a party to rule over.” She spat, her voice dripping with contempt. “But if you're still here when we're back later you're going to wish you weren't. Come on babe.”

Lexi strode out without another glance at Madison who was shivering in her underwear. Zack quickly threw on a shirt and raced after his new old paramour. His cock now twitched when he even thought of her. It felt as though it were a homing missile that would always find her. Little did either of them know that the magic cock wasn't a King maker, in reality it was a Queen maker and Lexi's reign was just beginning.

[greatrunner]

You are out there, aren’t you? he thought. And you, Father? Are you with him? Ren did not believe in ghosts, not literally. But he did believe that people left things behind them when they were gone. Memory. Consequences.[...] Jets screamed by, and explosions billowed against Gojira’s hide. Hello, brother, he thought. They don’t learn, do they? Those pitiful weapons can’t stop you. But I can. I will. Then he climbed in. [...] Serizawa was playing with his pocket watch again. A sign he was thoughtful or nervous, or both. Often both. Mark offered the scientist some coffee. “What time is it?” he asked. A wistful little smile drew across Serizawa’s face. “Time to get a new watch,” he said. [...]“Andrew’s favorite joke,” Mark said. “You never could take that thing out without him asking…”

Messy family dynamics, by and large, seem to be Michael Dougherty and Zack Shields' special interest, at least far as the MonsterVerse goes. But - as with a lot of things - investment and execution is often what makes or breaks dysfunctional family drama in media. What grievances do they have? Did these grievances exist earlier in the story, and does this conflict work with previously established elements?

Pacific Rim Uprising (2018 film, dir. Steven DeKnight) inserted Jake Pentecost into the narrative of Mako Mori and Stacker Pentecost. He was your atypical chip-on-his-shoulder prodigal son who was less favored than his sister, Mako. Prior to his existence, Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim built an entire film around broken and mended family dynamics. Mako, an orphan who lost her parents, was adopted by Pentecost, who became her guardian. It was one of the major elements in the film, one that critics and audiences more or less received positively.

Uprising rather upended all of that with an out-of-no-where lovechild that exists (1) to compensate for losing Charlie Hunnam (Raleigh Becket) via John Boyega, and (2) to justify the film's "younger female lead" (Cailee Spaeny) was necessary for Jake's story. Mako Mori (the lead of Pacific Rim after Raleigh Becket) was simply not adequate for anything else besides a minor/supporting role. The uncertainty of whether Legendary would even able to get Rinko Kikuchi back also likely played a lot into her character's fate.

Uprising portrays Jake as wholly defined by his conflict with his father. And without Pentecost or Mako to actually act as his foil, to challenge his positions on their family mess, there's nothing particularly interesting about a character complaining about their dead dad. The family drama really isn't all that central to the story. And to top it all off, Jake is not charming, he's utterly obnoxious, and Mako is sacrificed on the altar of his storyline. In a lot of ways, Jake Pentecost damages a lot of what made Pentecost, Mako and their relationship such an interesting aspect of the first film. It's a bit of nasty work that's never set right with me.

With the MonsterVerse, something similar happens with Ishiro Serizawa. Unlike Godzilla and King of the Monsters' (white) leads (Joe and Ford Brody, Mark, Emma, and Madison Russell), Serizawa is largely without an interior life in the films. The closest thing to a meaningful relationship he has is with Vivian Graham, who is always at his side and treats him like her mentor. Externally, his life is covered in the comics - where he, funny enough, is the chip-on-his-shoulder son angry at his father for dedicating so much of his life to Monarch. But also leaving him in the dark about what he was doing during the 40s and 50s.

None of that is really materially important to the films. The most we learn about Serizawa's father is that he was present when the nukes hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and his pocket watch (an icon for Serizawa's character) stopped at the time of detonation.

He has a history with Mark Russell, a grief stricken (ex) Monarch zoologist who lost his son (off-screen) during the events of Godzilla '14, and similar to Graham, their dynamic is based on a lot of unspoken respect for each other despite Mark's wishes to see the Titans (i.e., Godzilla) genocided off the face of the Earth.

With regard Mark's son, Andrew, the KOTM novel (Greg Keyes) references Andrew twice in relation to Serizawa's watch (indirectly and directly), and reveals that (1) Serizawa is married to a woman who respects his dedication to Monarch, and (2) he has a son named 'Ren".

A son, according to the novel, that Serizawa would risk certain death and danger to protect in an act of recklessness. He's never brought up again and the biggest loss Serizawa experiences in KOTM is Vivian (killed by King Ghidorah), whom he openly grieves for in the time that he's allotted to in an action film.

Regarding Andrew, Serizawa (and Mark) both remember fondly that Andrew liked to ask him what time it was, just to hear the punchline: "Time to get a new watch." It's a nice little antecede that at least shows that the Russells were, at one point, close enough for their kids to become attached to him in some fashion.

Serizawa's relationship with Ren lacks that kind of interiority. So come Godzilla vs. Kong, Ren, as an idea, is bereft of any real significance other than to call back to Ken Watanabe. The film transplants Serizawa's barely explored role as the jilted son, and uses this as Ren's primary reason for working with a tech bro who wants to supplant the Titans in the name of "Human Supremacy".

He appears to take Mark's role as someone who specifically wants Godzilla dead, largely out of spite toward the favor his father showed the Titan. He's so bitter he considers (in the GVK novelization) Godzilla his "big brother" who got special treatment from his father. Like Uprising, it takes what might be an interesting concept, but does nothing substantive with it. The MonsterVerse is full of busted father/son dynamics, but it's not until Legacy of Monsters (Apple TV+) that we even get a half-way decent one that isn't white. i.e., Hiroshi Randa and his son (and daughter) that he actually abandoned and the narrative affirms as much.

Like Jake Pentecost, I think Ren's existence damages Serizawa as a character. It doesn't so much reveal that he was a flawed person, only that he was a "bad dad" in the most superficial of ways.

The fact that characters like Jake Pentecost and Ren have to be children neglected by their parent(s) communicates, to me, that the writers had no legible way of inserting these out-of-nowhere characters into the narrative without radically altering some aspect of an established character like Stacker and Ishiro. To that end, child neglect/abandonment in these narratives come off as superficial, if not minimizing. Compared to something like The Haunting of Hill House, which dedicates its entire story to how children perceive being abandoned or neglected by one of their parents, GVK uses it for window dressing and nothing more.

To quote myself:

"It’s fairly tone deaf, but reflective of how the film uses its legacy character, Ren Serizawa (Shun Oguri), the plot irrelevant son of Dr. Serizawa (Watanabe), as the antagonist of GVK’s plot. In an interview about his role, Oguri says that Ren wants to protect the Earth, but with different methods. There are also rumblings about a subplot that suggested Ren was bitter about Ishiro’s dedication to Monarch over his family. Ren might’ve had a personal vendetta against Godzilla. The only thing he had in common with his father was the desire to protect the world. Ren’s reasons for affiliating himself with Russell Simmons’ corporation (Apex), are unexplored. The corporation, like Legendary, profits from and exploits the Titans. Simmons wants humankind back at the top of the food chain. Ren makes himself complicit in Simmons’ scheme, lying to Nathan Lind about ‘saving the world’. Human dominance is also his goal. Ren is a repeat of Emma Russell’s character arc, but with none of the work or the romanticism that into rationalizing her position. He also lacks his father to play against where Emma had Mark as her foil. Despite their opposing positions, Emma and Ren’s philosophies (anti-human, anti-animal) are born of a supremacist ideal that disregards their environment. Oguri’s take on his character is an interesting interpretation, but the film doesn’t devote any time to making that interpretation a reality. That would impede GVK’s monsters-only goal. The characters he could play against, such as the Chen sisters, Madison, and Mark, never interact with him. They don’t even appear to know who he is, or that he exists. As far as GVK is concerned, Ren is the token Japanese character. Like Watanabe’s role in Godzilla ’14, Ren is there to remind you that Godzilla is called Gojira, and is a holocaust parable from the ‘50s. They left the audience to assume that Ren was in complete agreement with Walter and Maia Simmons’ efforts to see humanity conquer the Titans. Lack of context makes the character someone who’s willing to disrupt the so-called balance of nature as safeguarded by the Titans. The very thing his father championed to the point of suicide. Was Simmons necessary as the antagonist when Ren could’ve worked just as well and actually benefited from it? It’s not enough for Ren to disagree with Simmons over a cool-down period following the theft of the Godzilla’s unique radiation. That tells the audience he disagrees with when to launch Mechagodzilla, not that they should find alternate solutions to reasserting humanity’s dominance — sorry, protecting the Earth. Based on Oguri’s take, Ren is complicit in late-stage capitalism’s destructive nature. Ren throws his support behind a capitalist who would destroy the world with a machine (Mechagodzilla) that represents the humanity’s presumption to control nature. Ren plants himself in the middle of Ghidorah’s skull and plays God the same way Emma Russell did with the ORCA. What the character represents on the surface of the film comes close to how artists have rationalized NFTs as harmless. They’re not doing anything wrong by buying into tech that’s added risk for a world that has entered the feedback loop stage of climate change. Ren appeals to the empathy of the environmentally conscious Nathan, and Nathan goes along with the Simmons’ plan because it means he can achieve his dream of reaching the Hollow Earth. Ren and Nathan buy into a scam, but only one of them suffers any harm from it. The feedback loop (the consequence) of indulging Simmons’ dream of owning a Titan fries Ren’s brain. Nathan escapes with a few bruises as a reminder of his participation in destructive capitalism. He ‘repents’ by resuscitating the universe’s representative of nature (Kong). Kong and Godzilla (nature) destroy Mechagodzilla (human ego daring to challenge the order of this fantasy’s nature). Nathan is forgiven. Ren is left comatose."

All this to say: I largely based the graphic above on my thoughts about the shot's similarities and their meaning. Mark and Ren operate[d] from the same position of vengeance level thinking when it comes to Godzilla. But where Mark had the benefit of processing his grief with Serizawa at his side, Ren was (narratively) denied the chance to either accept or reject any such catharsis.

Does he want to kill Godzilla because his father died protecting it? Does he want to see the Titans oppressed by humanity? These are things that are unexplored in the film. A film that might've used Mark as Ren's foil, considering their connection to Ishiro.

The eternal burden of watching tokusatsu anything is expecting narrative consistency and continuity, and being let down repeatedly.

Good news has been happening concerning stopping the bar raids in Seattle, but now they need help more than ever to get there. As the campaign manager of Strippers Are Workers, Madison Zack-Wu, explained:

Between our bill passing the legislature and good communication with the Governor's office, we thought we were in the clear.

However, Republican Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison and the King County Prosecuting Attorney's office are pushing Governor Inslee to veto Section 3 of our bill. Section 3 bans some criminalizing laws on dancer conduct- legalizing super basic things like being tipped while performing on stage and taking payment upfront for private dances.

Unsurprisingly, cop-adjacent attorneys & prosecutors believe that these laws, which disempower dancers, are a good thing. We are of course disappointed that there is still so much acceptance and support for the harm of dancers, but we aren't really surprised. Luckily, this is truly the last fight on this policy."

I tried filling it myself, but as I'm Australian, it won't accept me.

Please help. I know a lot of USamericans were expecting the response to these bar raids to be a recreation of Stonewall, but, though hard to believe, there has been progress to ensure the queer community can be heard through lots of means. This is it. This could help save those bars and its communities.

USamericans, you're not there to throw bricks and hands, but you can do something if you know you would. Please submit that email.

Over 100 artists including Rage Against the Machine co-founders Tom Morello and Zack de la Rocha, along with Boots Riley and Speedy Ortiz, have announced that they are boycotting any concert venue that uses facial recognition technology, citing concerns that the tech infringes on privacy and increases discrimination. 

The boycott, organized by the digital rights advocacy group Fight for the Future, calls for the ban of face-scanning technology at all live events. Several smaller independent concert venues across the country, including the House of Yes in Brooklyn, the Lyric Hyperion in Los Angeles, and Black Cat in D.C., also pledged to not use facial recognition tech for their shows. Other artists who said they would boycott include Anti-Flag, Wheatus, Downtown Boys, and over 80 additional artists. The full list of signatories is available here.

“Surveillance tech companies are pitching biometric data tools as ‘innovative’ and helpful for increasing efficiency and security. Not only is this false, it’s morally corrupt,” Leila Nashashibi, campaigner at Fight for the Future, said in a statement. “For starters, this technology is so inaccurate that it actually creates more harm and problems than it solves, through misidentification and other technical faultiness. Even scarier, though, is a world in which all facial recognition technology works 100% perfectly – in other words, a world in which privacy is nonexistent, where we’re identified, watched, and surveilled everywhere we go.”

Facial recognition technology at venues has grown increasingly controversial over the past several months, particularly as Madison Square Garden Entertainment and James Dolan have garnered scrutiny for using the tech to kick out lawyers affiliated with ongoing lawsuits against the company. Several attorneys had been removed last year from events at MSG’s venues including its eponymous arena and Radio City Music Hall. Last October, attorney Barbara Hart was removed from Brandi Carlile’s Madison Square Garden Concert because her law firm was litigating against MSG in a class action lawsuit. (Hart herself wasn’t involved with that suit.)
