The King of the Monsters wrote: Again, the simple answer is because the film wasn't written that way. It doesn't have to make logical sense within the film's universe. It's just how the movie was written. It's for plot purposes.

People could speculate about why the Guardian Monsters weren't awakened in 1954, but none of that really matters in the long run. The film was written the way it was so that it could tell the story it wanted to. I'm not saying they should change it, I'm just saying my story arc would make sense in that film's continuity. Again, not asking them to change it at all.
