Because the Cloverfield movies are manageable. The Pacific Rim franchise, for instance, 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.

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.

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.
