Yup That's Definitely Rodan

.
What we saw the first full-length trailer for the new Godzilla movie we theorized via a couple of hyper-quick shots that we were seeing Big G's winged nemesis Rodan - a flash of something in the sky here, some talon there - but now as you can see above thanks to the new international trailer we have no doubts left. Totes Rodan! Also thanks to the trailer, a cute shot of Aaron Johnson.

The funny thing about that shot is how gratuitously crammed into the trailer it is. These are the two shots that surround that shot of Aaron being adorable - a shot of serious Army people being serious...

... then we see Aaron and Elizabeth Olsen giggling...

... and then we see Godzilla stomping a city to bits.

It leaves the impression that Aaron and Elizabeth are selfish nitwits having a cozy date night while the world outside is crumbling to pieces. I don't really think is what's happening; I'm guessing they just wanted us to know besides monsters and stomp-stomp seriousness there are adorable people in this movie being adorable too, which is cool - it's part of why I am going. But they might want to finesse their messaging a bit. Here's the trailer:

Oh and one last thing here's Aaron in his uniform:
