For comic relief, the Gargantuas are fat, slothful americans who drink waaay too many slurpees and turn HUGE! Then they rage. Awesome.

That's what translates on film.

You throw the Statue of Liberty's head at a fucking skyscraper I had better see something blow up.

It's in our DNA by now. We love it. It's instant goosebumps. The first time I saw The Statue Of Liberty's head bounce down a Manhattan street I was a cocktail of wide eyed awe and "Holy shit"s and all that stuff. Can't wait.

Oh yeah, did I mention it's Gargantuas. O.D'd on slurpies?
