Amph "There's More Than One King" - The MonsterVerse [Godzilla x Kong: Supernova]

Definitely in the top tier.

 

I still need to se Kaiser Ghidorah in action.

 

King Kong Live-Action Series in Early Development at Disney+

Totally unrelated to the current MonsterVerse iteration, or any other on-screen iteration. I know the King Kong rights are a little wonky - which is why the WB/Legendary MonsterVerse stuff is only able to call him Kong and not King Kong - but, I thought they still flat out owned the character. I guess there must be some loophole that allows Disney to be doing this...

 

Lots of Republic Credits.

 

‘Godzilla vs. Kong 2’ Synopsis Reveals New Details About Monsterverse Sequel

https://collider.com/godzilla-vs-kong-2-synopsis-monsterverse-sequel/

 

I am suprised they are making a sequel.

 

Ill say it again how about making a deal with toho and do War of the Gargantuas remake, have them face Kong or Godzilla , i guess the difference would be the brown Gargantua would join his brother and wreck mayhem lol

 

War of the Gargantuas is the best Toho movie ever.

 

I'm just glad this GvK sequel isn't centered around a rematch. Their fight in Hong Kong was as close to perfect as can be.

 

Godzilla, Mothra, & King Ghidorah: All Out Monsters Attack is the actual best film in this series and genre.

 

My vote for best Toho is Godzilla vs Spacegodzilla.

 

I mean, there's no wrong answer. All those listed are great. Frankenstein Conquers the World is a good one as well.

 

Does anyone fine it kind of ironic that while actual Godzilla films are always good, shows where they try to have Godzilla-sized characters fight one another in a city for an episode or two are almost always terrible*?

*Looking at you, Legend of Korra Season 2.

 

I love Godzilla va Biolante. I mean its Gojira’s wife.

 

Having never seen the old Kong vs. Godzilla. For years I wondered how that was even a fight. King Kong is really just a very large gorilla. His strength proportionally increased with his size. He’s intelligent, but it’s questionable if he’s actually more intelligent than a regular gorilla.

Then their is Godzilla who can level cities and breath fire.

So massive upscaling King for strength, size and intelligence was the only way to make him a challenge for Godzilla.

Watching King Kong, Son of Kong, and Mighty Joe Young. Three movies all overseen to some extent by Marian C. Cooper and sharing cast members; there is a larger story arc there which could make a compelling series if Joe Young is looked as Son of Kong.

 

They all star Robert Armstrong.

 

Who is playing the personification of Merian C. Cooper.

It interesting the Peter Jackson Kong focuses on the screen writer. The original focuses on the movie director / showman / adventurer Robert Armstrong plays as the protagonist with a persona larger than Kong. He’s really a showman even to the audience and I’m not sure how sympathetic he is. It’s more selling the adventure to the viewer while the film is happening.

John Hammond in the film Jurassic Park is similar but has a softer side, especially when faced with the failure and consequences of his action. (Also the plot of the movie is visitors sent to the park to judge if Hammond’s plan is sound.)

Hammond is also a lot like Scrooge McDuck. He’s got great bravado until facing a setback and deeply feels the defeat but in defeat finds some glimmer of hope that he can grab hold of to get back on his feet.

A King Kong series could work with a lead character like that. Event to have the character actively on screen selling the series for a few episodes before showing deeper nuance.
