I still need to see Cloverfield. And, yes, that makes perfect sense on the Gojira=atomic bomb allusion.

It's one thing to see attacks on NYC on the comic page. I guess it's another to see it on the big screen with sound and everything :/ boy was I grateful for Whedon's fight-and-quip action scene style. The Hulk made me laugh a couple times, so did Cap + the NYC cop. It distracted me from depressing thoughts.
