My Take
Vogt-Roberts is one of those directors who genuinely loves the genre stuff he makes, and it shows. The Kings of Summer is a small, warm gem that earned him the Kong gig, and Kong: Skull Island leaned hard into Vietnam-era imagery and creature spectacle in a way most blockbusters wouldn't dare. He's also a vocal champion of video games and anime culture, which makes him feel like one of us rather than a studio hired gun. I respect that he keeps trying to drag passion-project sensibilities into franchise filmmaking, even when the system fights him on it.
