Kind of hard to not know about them.

"2.)  You can't summon them. They simply have to just wake up when they feel the land is in trouble." The land was in trouble when Godzilla attacked.

" 3.) They were not a plot device in Gojira, hence not being able to wake up and fight Godzilla." We're talking about the GMK timeline, not the Gojira timeline.
