Why is everyone so sad about max being the (whatever it's called) in godzilla 2

INSTINCTIVEGIGAN - Indeed! I certainly hope that Mr. Broenstein shows us that he's got what it takes to deliver a phenominal story! I want the next film to succeed with flying colors! :)

I have to admit I was also super-bummed when I heard he would be returning to write it. There were some unforgivable plot turns in the first movie, just some of the decisions human characters made and their effects on the plot. If part of the point was to show that humans were incompetent, it'd be acceptable, but they were just incompetent for no reason.

That said the more times I see Godzilla the more I see that its actually a pretty solidly crafted film. I know Gareth Edwards is quite open to criticism and having a few big-budget movies done by the time he starts Godzilla 2, I have some faith he'll improve. Hopefully Borenstein improves too.
