Say Coolot did you know that there are many references (besides the Godzilla movies) in the MonsterVerse movies?

Like take these references from King of the Monsters for example:
 * Like five minor characters (Lt. Bottin, Corporal Winston, Sgt. Baker, G-Team Officer Tippett, and G-Team Officer Harryhausen) are named after famous special effects artists (like Rob Bottin, Stan Winston, Rick Baker, Phil Tippett, and Ray Harryhausen)
 * The ORCA was named after the fishing boat that was used to hunt the shark in Jaws
 * The pounding sound that Godzilla's dorsal plates made when they flash are the sounds of Kong's weakening heartbeat from the final scene in the 1976 King Kong remake
 * The opening of the movie emulates the opening of the original 1954 Godzilla movie, beginning with the sound of Godzilla's footsteps followed by his roar.
 * The Outpost where King Ghidorah was frozen is a reference to Outpost 31 the location of the 1982 movie The Thing. And just like the Thing, King Ghidorah came from space and became frozen in Antarctica in the past and was awakened in the present.
 * The Outpost where Scylla was housed is a reference to the 1955 movie Tarantula which also took place in Arizona
 * Outpost 77 located at Devils Tower is a reference to the 1977 movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind
 * Concept art of Castle Bravo showed stock images of Otachi and the Kaiju Skinmites from Pacific Rim on a computer screen
 * The character Dr. Rick Stanton is loosely based on Rick from Rick and Morty as reflected in his name, personality, sarcastic sense of humor, and his perchant for drinking
 * Mark Russell's hometown of Warren Valley, Ohio was the setting of Michael Dougherty's debut film Trick 'r Treat
 * The Argo is named after the ship used by the Argonauts from Greek Mythology, who assisted the hero Jason in his quest for the Golden Fleece. It's also a tribute to the 1963 film Jason and the Argonauts which featured stop-motion monster effects by Ray Harryhausen
 * Just before Godzilla's underwater lair was destroyed by the warhead a statue of Pazuzu from The Exorcist can be seen
 * Ghidorah's pose while roaring on top of the volcano resembles Chernabog on top of Bald Mountain in Fantasia
 * Rodan bears a resemblance to the Firebird from Fantasia 2000
 * The scene where Ghidorah regrows his head brings to mind the scene in Disney's Hercules where the Hydra regrows new heads
 * In the trailer "One King to Rule Them All" is a reference to Lord of the Rings
 * Rick and Morty stickers are seen on Maddie's laptop
 * Stanton sarcastically refers to King Ghidorah as "Moe, Larry, and Curly". Ghidorah's middle head fittingly bosses around the other two heads hitting them (or at least Left-head) into submission just as Moe does to Larry (Right-head) and Curley (Left-head)
 * Scylla resembles the spider-squid aliens from Gareth Edwards' film Monsters
 * A newspaper headline during the credits speculates on possibly using Kaiju feces as fertilizer, an idea previously discussed by Hannibal Chau in Pacific Rim
 * There is a reference to Jay-Z and Kanye White's No Church in the Wild in the end credits where a newspaper headline says What's a King to a God?
