Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

[Sithborg]

Yeah, and as for how to bring Ghidorah back, there are 2 paths I see:

Reveal the Ghidorah Skull from Mechagodzilla is still there and somehow they restore Ghidorah with it. Or, could be another of Ghidorah's race that comes with the Invasion. Either would be fine. But I would add Gigan or another monster as well. Maybe a few others.

And obviously, Gamera

Personally, I would love to see a version of this with a Monsterverse budget.

They definitely wont go this route but what if for part III, they took a more humanistic approach to the story. What if part 3 is about a man whose entire family was wiped out due to one of Godzilla’s careless rampages and he vows revenge. This man does this by building a mecha suit to destroy Godzilla once and for all …or maybe if you wanna get really wacky he creates a super sentai like persona like Ultraman or something. Something that gives him enhanced abilities and technology. And then KONG finds himself defending Godzilla for….reasons but the man driven by rage and revenge is willing to take Kong out too if he gets in the way.

Its a rough idea but it its coming from the angle of consequences. How many times has Godzilla just bulldozed through a city with zero regard for who he’s stepping on. What if finally there are consequences to that? And it also puts the focus back on Big G too from a different angle.

I still say Jet Jaguar would be more likely than Ultraman would be, but can be done same general premise of giant guy fights monsters

 

[The Big G]

I want Emilia Clarke to play a scientist who clones Ghidorah and then uses the Ren's brain to transfer Kevin into the clone body. All the while Godzilla deals with *insert new threat here*, the final battle is pushes Godzilla and Kong to their limits and then comes Ghidorah 2.0 to fight the monster. Get in some Goku and Frieza vs Jiren vibes going on, and have them barely make it through. Godzilla is ready to fight to the death with Ghidorah, but Ghidorah decides to bail.

Epilogue shows that Ghidorah flew to Venus (call back to the OG) and starts going ham terraforming Venus into its new home.

So did I, Dan had a pretty respectable ranking too. Really good watch for me.

I was surprised how much he turned around on KOTM, and it was very validating to see that all it took was an understanding of what came before as to why KOTM seemed to connect with the fanbase. Also noticed that Dan seemed to rank the Heisei era generally high which probably helped him understand the context of Dougherty's approach more.

I still think King of the Monsters is the best Legendary Godzilla film.

I am going to be quite annoyed when Tamashi Nations reveals their GxK and it doesn't come with a certain, specific weapon.

AMEN.

 

[AverageMan]

What was the domestic figure for the weekend? $80m? That's double what I thought it would open to.
These numbers are nothing but a massive W for WB.

I don't get how some people don't like it, it 100% is the best, it's literally a Heisei era movie done by Hollywood.

But I am also biased as that's my favorite Godzilla era so...

Heisei is my fave too...but I also kinda get why the GA didn't quite warm up too it.

Its a movie love letter for Toho Godzilla fans and might have been a tad too much for the GA to swallow so early into the MV. I do think the script and the film itself needed another editing combover. There's a scene at Mark's Cabin and on the way to the Monarch base were he says the exact same thing about the Orca's origin to the same person but both scenes treat it as if its the first time the other person is hearing that.

Plus I think Doughtery got a little lost in the sauce when it comes to certain things. Example: while its that they thought that a massive bio-electrical entity such as Ghidorah would have a negative effect on the weather around IE the Thunderstorm he was always caked in. But at the same time they really need to wipe away a layer or two of particle effects so the Audience could see the action

Again I love the film to death, but its got some glaring flaws that might irk me if i was more of a casual fan as opposed to a Godzilla fanatic.

 

[P Supreme]

Went to see Kaiju action and it delivered bring on the next film
I'm a kong guy so enjoyed him being the focus

 

[Spider-Fan]

Heisei Godzilla for life! Though I think Gojira and Godzilla Minus One are the 2 best Godzilla movies ever, the Heisei era is easily my favorite era. Best overall collection of films IMO

I need a full list of every large city that simply doesn't exist in this Universe...

Off the top pf my head, we have essentially eliminated;

San Francisco
Boston
Tokyo
Las Vegas
Washington, D.C.
[the pyramids]

What am I missing?

Really enjoyed this one. It was a lot of fun & I felt it added to the MonsterVerse mythology in an enjoyable way. Human cast was enjoyable & fit into the overall story well, and it was nice once again to see Kong progressing even further as a character.

I'll probably have to watch again just to be sure but my initial reaction would be that even though I loved GvK, I think I like this installment a little more.

SF & LV got decimated in G14, and Honolulu got flooded but is still kicking

DC and Boston got utterly wrecked in KOTM, as well as Rodan's Island. phoenix and Munich took some hits too.

GvK saw Hong Kong get wrecked and a giant hole to HE blasted into it but the majority is still there.

GxK saw Rome, Cadiz, Gibralter, Cairo and Rio get trashed. Though Gibralter most likely got flooded due to Godzilla's swan dive off the Rock. Perfect form to the Big Guy.

Well, other than Rome, Europe is largely unscathed.

Could you imagine living in this monsterverse world knowing that at any minute giant monsters could break out into a fight and essentially decimate everyone and everything you love? Fun!

These Monsters make Superman look less of an a-hole - lol.

 

[kguillou]

But seriously though, in this world where several major global cities were essentially evaporated you've got to imagine the world governments and United Nations have to be working on some kind of contingency plan and are not just idly submitting to the fact that these creatures could essentially wipe out the human race if they dont do something. I think there's fodder there for a story if they wanted to go that direction.

 

[antsman41]

Half of this new movie was just Monarch being all ‘well Godzilla is rampaging but we can’t do much but watch’ lol

I think Mechagodzilla was that plan, lol!

It's so f**kin insane.

 

[Drizzle]

As I expected, this movie was so stupid but I had a lot of fun watching it. The human scenes mostly bored me apart from Dan Stevens (who somehow unironically became one of my favorite human characters in this franchise, don't know how that happened) but I was watching that final battle with such glee. I was fully embracing the ridiculousness.

Didn't Honolulu get trashed from the Tsunami caused by Godzilla coming ashore in G14?
