I find it awesomely interesting that John Goodman is playing an official for the Monarch corporation which was also from the Godzilla 2014 universe. He also supposedly was a satellite researcher/worker with the company that might have disturbed the cloverfield monster from 08 film possibly revealed in 10 cloverfield lane .\ idk could be a reach theory but interesting.

Such a shame he was killed off the way he was. How pointless! He should have been allowed to "team up" with Jackson, the two bonding over their desire to kill Kong (Jackson because he didn't want to "lose" again, Goodman for revenge after his past encounter in his youth).
Goodman can still die, in place of the redshirt scientist guy who inexplicably tags along on that suicide mission (and give him Goodman's death instead if need be). Or maybe let him realise his folly and be killed by Jackson, making Kong's dispatching of him even more karmic. Heck, Goodman starts out as an important character with this big backstory relevant to the island and monsters... But none of that is paid off and he is killed like some cannon fodder!
Or, since he starts off as the focal character before being pushed to the background later in favour of the bland "leads", have Goodman survive to continue the franchise as a kind of proper "do-over" for what they tried but ruined with Bryan Cranston's character in Godzilla 2014.
Yeah, I too was a bit disappointed with his, and most of the other characters in this movie. The only ones I really liked were Jackson and Reilly.
I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here-https://youtu.be/g8hwq5Xx-_E
