Hes in the amazon where he got almost fucked up by amhuluk luckily Godzilla was there

[@Quinn_Bailey67]

The part of Rio destroyed in GxK was Leme and I’m pretty sure behemoth destroyed a different part

[@irmalozano3777]

bro imagine being a construction worker and spending 8 years to rebuild a city after a titan attack just for it to be destroyed again by oher titans 💀

[@gavinzillagaming5445]

They also have better technology because of Godzilla VS Kong and the Hollow Earth energy, so they could have rebuilt much faster.

i think that KOTM is not retconned or better said...it is 100% FACT!, sure, rebuilding a city in 8 years might be a little bit fast, but we dont know how much Behemoth destroyed, Kotm is important for the Monsterverse, it got also mentioned in GxK (Ghidorahstan64) and they mentioned events from Godzilla vs Kong which mentiones and flashbacks the events of KOTM like the characters, Ghidorah skull and so on, and there are not statements from those directors, and the Problems and issues you told are...not a good reason... very pointless

They stated the original plot was set to be in Russia, but with the war going on, they didn't want to make any political issue with it, so they had to change the cities, mid movie. Probably could've figured something else out, but that's a lot to think about during the middle of production

[@xFearcampaignx]

its a movie you're over thinking it. The general audience isnt gonna catch on to that ...

[@GJLB05]

I meant 2024

[@ChiefGodzilla]

They also developed a new HEAV model in the span of 3 years somehow (2024-2027)

[@GJLB05]

Bro the new empire is not in 2027 it's in 3024

[@tullimonstrum52]

@ChiefGodzilla has a point, also it could be a different part of rio than what behemoth destroyed. Did anyone see the chirst the redeemer statue in KOTM?

[@QuartzyAmy]

As Brazilian, i can comfirm, THEY GONNA TAKE A lONG A WHILE TO REBUILD💀

[@Bestevergaming222]

Eight years to build a city??
