Another minor thing that didn't really bug me but stood out was how much more of a giant ape Kong was in GvK. Skull Island went out of its way to make Kong a kaiju, not just a giant gorilla like he was in Peter Jackson's Kong. But here they had him knuckle-walking and everything. Or am I misremembering Skull Island and he spent a lot more time on all fours?

In Skull Island they point out that he's basically a teenager and still growing.

drat, the movie really did blow past Ren being Serizawa’s son. I didn’t even realize it until reading some reviews. Kind of seems like it could have been important. Did he want revenge for his father’s death? Could that have tied into wolfdad’s arc in the previous movie? Was this all on the cutting room floor?

I'd assume so, along with all of Lance Reddick's character beats.

Interview posted earlier said the Lance really only had one scene (not shown) establishing him and doing a bit of exposition (plan revolving Kong). It wasn’t a big part to begin with since MONARCH got basically written off to focus on Apex.

Am I the only person here who would love to see a Kong: King of the Hollow Earth movie? The big ape just having the time of his life in a trippy landscape to a vangelisesque soundtrack was something I didn't know I needed. It would also be a good vehicle to introduce some other familiar faces.

That's basically what Alien Worlds, on Netflix, is.

I've just this second realized that Justice's Genesis samples the Godzilla vs Mothra score. I thought it was weird that Godzilla's entrance to the boat fight sounded just like that song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKzWLUQizz8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXEYVQtLXFk

Tekne posted:Jonah should return in the future as an even more radical total extinctionist with a GMO kaiju in tow to kill everything on the planet. None of this half-assed kill half Thanos bullshit. He will save Earth by eradicating all life, whether it be human, titan, or the scum growing in your pond. Then the aliens come in to save the day/escalate the conflict to prevent a terraforming candidate world from being ruined, saved, who the gently caress knows? If this means Biollante, I'm cool with that.

Hell, add the red juice from the original Godzilla vs Kong and let Kong get super drunk in that upside down world to comical results.

https://twitter.com/cnet/status/1377729397575327749?s=21 I assume it’s just the end of the movie with Kong and everyone in Hollow Earth. I don’t know what else it would be.

I read an interview where Adam Wingerd basically implied that the interconnected universe fad was kinda dying. He also mentioned that they would see about the audience's reaction to this last Monsterverse before continuing on. For the life of me, I don't know what that looks like. Toy sales? Streaming views? Would love to see more Monsterverse stuff but have no idea what this dumb studio is looking for.

Oh that reminds me, while I was sitting in the cinema after the movie ended waiting to find out if there was going to be a post-credits scene I noticed there was a credit saying "Lethal Weapon 2 is Copyright by Warner Bros" and I was wondering if I'd missed a part where they used LW2 footage diegetically or something (there's the obvious Kong popping his dislocated shoulder back in reference but they wouldn't need a copyright note to cover that) so I googled it and it turns out that Alexander Skarsgard’s character was supposed to be obsessed with LW2 and at various points in the movie he was going to quote it or be wearing a LW2 t-shirt or drinking out of a LW2 mug but I can't recall seeing any of that https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2565218/why-godzilla-vs-kong-has-a-lethal-weapon-2-reference-and-almost-had-a-lot-more

Sometimes I have a hard time properly evaluating movies like this but I already want to rewatch it like 2 days later so that probably means it was good.

Kong could have hollow earth adventures and just handwave godzilla as being dormant or just off on his own thing.

I think that this movie has done better than they were expecting by pretty much every metric, so Wingard or no I definitely expect some kind of follow up. Two words: MECHA GHIDORAH

That’s a good change. I liked his character as shown if he was also spewing movie catchphrases it would have been annoying as hell. LW2 isn’t even good.
