Because the ''Cloverfield'' movies are manageable. The ''Pacific Rim'' franchise has dozens of giant characters in it, and the Ultra Series even more. That being said, our pages on the original ''Cloverfield'' still need some serious work. | Because the ''Cloverfield'' movies are manageable.

Genre's a slippery thing. The site exclusively calls Japanese films "kaiju films" to avoid endless arguments over what is and isn't a kaiju. Personally, I would consider ''Cloverfield'' a kaiju movie even though it's American because of Clover's size, resilience, and unusual appearance. The way in which the story is presented is irrelevant. I'm less inclined to view American giant-animal movies the same way, and there are far too many of them for us to possibly cover. | Genre's a slippery thing.

As for the ''Cloverfield'' follow-ups, both have certainly have giant monsters ''in'' them, even if they're not the main attractions, and don't require a serious number of subpages. | As for the ''Cloverfield'' follow-ups, both have certainly have giant monsters ''in'' them, even if they're not the main attractions, and don't require a serious number of subpages. | ||
