Godzilla Vs. Kong: 20 WTF Moments

10. Serizawa's Totally Random Son

We can't talk about Mechagodzilla without mentioning the man seen piloting him - Ren Serizawa (Shun Oguri), who is hastily introduced as the son of Ishirō Serizawa (Ken Watanabe), who of course died so memorably in King of the Monsters.

It seems abundantly clear that much of Ren's role was cut away during the editing process, given how scarcely a passing mention is made to his father beyond Ren's surname being spoken aloud.

Sadly Ren wasn't long for this world, and ended up being electrocuted to death while piloting Mechagodzilla when Ghidorah woke up and decided it wanted to take the wheel.
