History Main / EvilWearsBlack

** ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': [[Characters/MonsterVerseAlanJonah Alan Jonah]] almost-consistently wears dark colors when he can, and after escaping Antarctica, he wears a pitch-black top. This is in contrast to his WellIntentionedExtremist partner-in-crime, who prefers light-colored clothes, showing that Jonah is [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist far less genuine in his well-intentions]] to "save the planet" by releasing the Titans to cull humanity's self-destruction, and he's unwilling to make any attempt to stop King Ghidorah once it begins creating an extinction event.
** ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'': Amongst the three human antagonists who represent [[EvilInc Apex Cybernetics]]; [[Characters/MonsterVerseRenSerizawa Ren Serizawa]] is the biggest offender with his pitch-black overcoat and pitch-black casual shirt, but [[Characters/MonsterVerseWalterSimmons Walter Simmons]] and his daughter [[Characters/MonsterVerseHumans Maia]] also favor wearing at least one black or partly-black garment during almost all of their screentime. Where the Evil comes in is that they're [[spoiler:deliberately engineering Godzilla's rampage and all the loss of life it causes so they can murder Godzilla and take control of the Titans for their own desires]], using MugglePower to justify otherwise entirely selfish or FreudianExcuse motivations.
