I think the mundane perspective and ordinary characters were meant to ground the movie. Most kaiju movies follow elite scientists or squads of soldiers so it’s a bit easier to relate to regular people just bumbling around (and a lot cheaper to film).
See, this is what got me into the theater for Cloverfield, I wanted this movie. It’s a bummer I got it in the form of some particularly jittery found footage. I was hoping for something more akin to those goofy disaster movies, but the disaster is a kaiju; not just in tone, but in how it was shot. As you say, some more spectacle would have gone a long way. That, or to really drill down and get into the “human horror” aspect and maybe make the military/authority figures more antagonistic.
All in all, I guess I’m glad Cloverfield succeeded despite my personal feelings because we got 10 Cloverfield Lane which, while not without problems of its own, I enjoyed much more
I have been poor, yes! Have you ever been outside? Do you think there are diaper black markets? Do you think everyone stealing to make ends meet qualifies for WIC in the first place?
Mr. Jones’s ancestors also scream in his brain, but a lot of that is due to the pesticide
You mean “don’t get caught doing crimes”
I know they’ve talked about who they’ll do if Jones really does vanish from the public eye but all disrespect to the man: who could fill his role on their show?
I’m Neo, I’m Leo, I’m Desiax Clarke; I AM THE MYSTERIOUS PROFESSOR

And the show would never run out of subjects
I fell asleep behind the wheel for maybe four seconds one time (the dreaded double clopen) and have had infrequent nightmares of being trapped in a vehicle that is uncontrollably accelerating ever since
The great thing about living in the future is that your dreams are daily becoming a reality
Is a home not under the constant annual threat of becoming unaffordable (I’m talking about renting, since you since seem to have reading comprehension difficulties) “too much” for someone to expect to achieve?

Oh, I have an easy solution!
“I don’t want to tip a landlord”
Did you read the article? Could you give a few quotes as to why that is your main takeaway here?

For real, these digital displays never change what I went in there to get. I look for the section labeled with the thing I want, I get it, I pay, I leave. Not once have I gone “damn that fake Sprite covered in fake condensation looks so refreshing, I think I’ll get that instead.”
I guess it has to work on some level though, or those no way they’d be paying for those instead of simple panes of glass

Unsure what the law has to say about murder when the targets are the denizens of Hell. Or if earth laws even apply in Hell.
It’s the only way to be sure.
