With the trailer out and the movie beginning its international rollout in less than two months, I figure it's about time to start seriously talking about if we're going to include Monster Hunter on the site. As one of about five people who enjoyed the Resident Evil movies, I'm looking forward to it, but I don't think it's a slam-dunk for inclusion.

Pros: Co-financed and distributed in Japan by Toho. Based on a Japanese video game series.

Cons: This is primarily Sony's film, not Toho's. Not currently being marketed as a kaiju movie (which helped push Rampage over the top; we weren't going to argue with The Rock). No real connection to other media on the site besides Toho's involvement. Presumably will be covered by Monster Hunter Wiki (although they haven't made a page for it yet).

The size question: Greater Rathalos, apparently the largest monster in the film, looks to be about the same length as the AWACS it attacks in the trailer (46.6 meters). But how prominently will it feature?
