Dr. MID-Nite Posted March 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 New trailer....main adds are the 'intimidation" line and the Rodan/King Ghidorah face off(Rodan is so screwed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 I expect Rodan to lose, but don't sell him too short. Rodan has always been the fastest, most agile flier of all the Toho monsters, and Ghidorah is fighting him in his element. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 I heard it suggested in some YouTube video that if Godzilla really wants to shift the odds in his favor, he should take the fight (with Ghidorah) into the ocean.

Plus it has those lightning rays. I don't think any single monster could stand against it for long(though they may have Godzilla do it).

Grailknight Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Ghidorah always loses because he lands on the ground and bites. Old canon was because even though he had three heads , he was one of the stupidest kaiju. If he's made to be semi-intelligent and fights that way, then Godzilla needs something to force him to the ground. Close combat advantage goes to Godzilla.

Dr. MID-Nite Posted April 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 New footage from KOTM being shown prior to SHAZAM! Claims to be five minutes, but it's more like three minutes with another minute and a half of previous trailer footage.. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 It is hard to imagine a King Kong vs. Godzilla remake (the next film expected in this "franchise") topping KOTM. Unless they pull a BvS and throw in a bunch more kaiju than just the two title characters. But then the title is just plain misleading and the movie starts to feel like KOTM all over again. I think maybe they should just go straight to a remake of Destroy All Monsters, where it starts out with a confrontation between Godzilla and King Kong, and then escalates to a massive kaiju battle royale.

slikmar Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Part of the problem, depending on what they do in KOTM is that they have portrayed both G and KK as being guardians. And now that they have used Ghidora, whom can you throw in that is really a threat to both. Course, is a classic Superhero team up, of course the heroes start off fighting, but then team up to finish the bad guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Just like BvS where they start fighting each other but then have to become allies to defeat a larger threat. Maybe something like Destroyah. Or something entirely new. Something that brings with it a bunch of kaiju allies of its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 The only thing left is Mechagodzilla, which is only appropriate for the sillier side of the Kaiju genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grailknight Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 They're sticking with real world tech so far, so Mechagodzilla would be a stretch. Destroyah would be a good choice as would Gigan if we're drawing from the original sources only. There's always a chance that they'll use one of the new KOTM Kaiju based on popular feedback from the movie. Reshoot ten or so lines and animate those fights last and they could even make it a public fan contest without delaying the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 King Kong also has a bit of a size problem in that it makes no sense that Kong spent almost a century growing to a height of 104', and then growing to 300' (a height arguably necessary to put him on even footing against a 355' tall Godzilla) only two years later.

slikmar Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 I was under the impression that Skull Island supposedly took place in the 70s or 80s, so technically, 30+ years, not 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure of the timeline you're proposing. We don't know when this Kong was born. The giant gorilla we see first in 1944 in Kong: Skull Island might have been one of Kong's parents. But K:SI is set in 1973, so by the time he faces Godzilla he'll have had nearly 50 years to grow larger. It's my theory that predation by the Skull Crawlers regularly killed members of Kong's species before they could reach their full potential size. But Kong killed the last Crawler who could effectively threaten him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to take that point seriously, one of the trailers mentioned that the various kaiju were "battling for dominance -- a rival alpha to Godzilla." Kong is clearly the alpha of Skull Island. Perhaps once he outgrows the island, the world won't be big enough for both of them. After all, these things aren't superheroes, they're basically animals.
