Godzilla vs Kong Spoiler Thread
- Thread starter Star-Lord
- Start date
I fucking lost it at the Kong species throne room, with the big chair for the king and rows of Kong sized bleachers. That was too good, Kong s got nothing on his ancestors, they could sculpt rock literally in their own image.
There is a scene similiar to this, except instead of tree, it's the special axe handle
God I really hate its design.
They really should have taken notes from the Ready Player One Design or the source material.
As part of team monke I'm sad he loses but I believe he can get stronger for a rematch. I believe in monke long term.
(Haven't seen the movie and still really want to)

The actor has stated public and many time he isnt a kaiju fan, and somehow Toei annoumce him joining in a big announcement
So that might have something to do woth his weird role in the film.
They clearly edited the hell out of the human plot, I think including all the scenes involving where they sedated and moved Kong especially. Lance Reddick is mentioned in the opening credits then he's in one shot with Kyle Chandler and doesn't speak at all. I'm gonna guess the reaction to KotM heavily cut down a lot of transitioning scenes and probably why Elevens plot was so contained and bare.
My favorite "Running" bit with the movie is once they are done with the bad humans, they don't get them in trouble, don't have them answer for their actions, just kill em
The daughter, Kong destroys her helicopter
the dad, gets blown up while monologuing
The pilot, gets fried when the skull activates

That whole plot element is so bad and could have been as better movie without it.
Mecha is a beast. You'll forgive the design somewhat when you see it in action. It's so fast, the jetpacks on the back are amazing.
And yeah, cut 10 minutes of the kids subplot. Kongs subplot was actually fine.
The podcast shit was awful but I guess topical. Maybe I'm just old.

That part, or a facsimile, is in the movie.
I'll just replay this in my heart.
I think their trying to invoke children movie, where the kids save the day, but here it just feel...not done well.
I don't even remember Eleven doing anything to help save the day.
It was most her friend and conspiracy guy who were trying to override mecha godzilla's system while she was just standing there.
I think what skull island gets right and the godzilla movies dont is the actors chosen to chew scenery. The cast in kong is a lot more famous and even if the script is nothing to call home about they really have fun with it. In this movie, even if the kong cast was better thab the godzilla cast, they are just not that well known to be charismatic on screen.
But still, humans are barely in this movie so i dont know what to tell people (even when theres no fight, king kong is doing stuff and that already feels amazing, and im not even that big of a kong fan). I suppose what people are looking for is a cast and script like the original JP, but i dont think even modern spielberg would be able to do it.
And i dont know, but i think if jp was released now as new, in this more cinic internet age, people would have a lot of problems with it, like the hating the fuckibg kids, or thinking some of the lines, like the disneyland one are stupid.

Hahaha yeah. Villains are just villains and they grt fucked by the monsters. No more thanos crap with the mother like in Kotm (love that movie but that was probably the worst part)
No, 4 different directors. And 2014 have totally different problems than kotm, skull, or this one. This one cuts most of the problems kotm, but has others. Skull island gets away with it thanks to the actors.
Florida has finally been attacked by Godzilla.
Also, that's not MechaGodzilla. That's goddamn MechaGhidorah.

Technically 3.5 fights, not 3.
1. Water fight, Godzilla wins. Zilla lets Kong live.
2. Hong Kong land fight, Kong wins part one with "commentary" from the humans saying Kong won. Kong walks away and lets Godzilla live.
2.5. Godzilla gets back up a few minutes later and attacks Kong blindsided and kicks his ass. Zilla lets Kong live again as Kong passes out
3. Mecha kicks Zilla around and Kong wakes up to help Zilla. Tag-team briefly loses until Zilla powerups Kong's axe. Kong defeats Mecha.
There's enough Godzilla (and other kaiju) movies where the rest of the runtime isn't this aggressively awful. This and KotM are just next-level bad.
- Die Hard building jump
- LW2 shoulder pop
Those seem the most overt
The HK fight reminded me a lot of the McClane v Karl fight, mixed with the scenes of him scrambling to evade gunfire on the roof. Any other big ones?
I knew it wasn't gonna happen because it would have been super stupid, but at the end when king dropped the axe, all I could picture was the epic handshake meme.
I knew it wasn't gonna happen, but I was Lowkey hoping they would just do it

It kinda all worked out in the end. Godzilla won majority of the scuffles, but Kong is the hero of the story and the ultimate underdog.
They had to make Godzilla look good if they want a chance at Toho letting them keep the rights lol.

Ok, Godzilla pretty convincingly beat Kong, we all kinda saw that coming.
But holy fucking shit Mecha was brutalizing Godzilla before Kong came in for the double team.
Mecha was gonna blow Godzilla's face out the same way he did to the Muto in the 2014 film.
Human creations are the real apex predators after lol

As much as i was on godzilla's side, kong was really winning that second fight, but they just make godzilla pull something at the very end and win, even though he suffered way more blows through the whole fight
yeah you can say he's more resistent, but i think kong should have gotten that one!
Also i was really hopping that kong gave the axe to godzilla at some point, captain america with mjolnir style, haha

You can tell they didn't really have much faith in this universe continuing with no stinger scenes.
This and Zilla going aliigator mode on Kong killed me.The best thing about this movie is Godzilla's shit eating grin. Fight me.
Kong is still a growing boy, he gets stronger every fight, next time he'll win easy.
In this essay I'll outline why Kong is in fact a saiyan and therefore

Where could they go with it now? They killed off all the other monsters in the last Godzilla

I love how they had a battle at night but you could still see everything because of all the lighting. What a beautiful shot.
It felt a lot like Godzilla was more emotive than usual. Like he had a personality.
? no they didn't. The movie ends with a bunch of Kaijus bowing to Godzilla.
There's too many different contracts and they can't do more if they haven't worked on future contracts, Godzilla is owned by somebody else and not Legendary
I think it was pretty much like this
Kong lost round 1
Kong won round 2
Kong lost round 3
Both won against MechaGodzilla together.
I was cracking up at MechaGodzilla's moves in that last fight. Was that supposed to be funny? Like, when he threw Godzilla against a building and kneed him in the chest? Or taking Godzilla and running his head straight into several buildings in a row.
yeah i know that and i know about the dispute between Legendary and WB about the HBO Max release,lets not pretend any studio is gonna throw 200mil+ for a Kaiju movie anytime soon
