Exactly. There's nothing wrong with focusing on normal people, all monster/disaster movies do. But, when it's the monster's or destruction's time to shine, you let it shine. This is what the Toho movies were about, why can't we do it like that?
You know the worst part? The money shots where the monsters square off are just purely epic. Godzilla just comes out of nowhere at the airport, when the situation looks to be at its worst. He flares his nostrils and roars. Then we cut away. The second time, everyone is running from the male MUTO, then Godzilla stands up from the exact place they were running to. He flares his nostrils and lets out a roar. Then we cut away as we see him grab the MUTO by the neck. The third time, Godzilla approaches the female like a badass through the smoke, the sound is somewhat muted. They go to fight...Oops, you don't want to see that, you want to see the Military disarm a bomb. Godzilla just always looks like he's about to kick some ass. Then, when the audience prepares for the battle, Garreth gives them the middle finger and focuses on the humans, again.
If Toho did that, Godzilla would have lasted two movies, MAYBE 3, and then audiences would have been done with him.
