    Thanks for watching with us everyone! I can't wait for Godzilla X Kong to be available for us to react to it at home. We purposely skipped it in theaters to watch along with all of you so I hope to see you back when we can do it!
    Let us know if you'd like us to see Shin Godzilla and when Godzilla Minus One is available, I'll be showing Jen that as well. We currently have a poll on Patreon for the next movies for us to watch, so if you want your input given, make sure to check that out, on top of all the other Patreon perks. ALL tiers can vote.

    You can also tell that Godzilla was toying with Kong during the first half of the final fight, as Godzilla is a sadist in most adaptations. The second Kong hits him with the axe, Godzilla immediately takes him down

      But I explained that Godzilla was on the move literally the whole film! He attacked the 1st Apex facility, swam and gave Kong the 1st fade, swam away and while Kong gets a good bit of rest during this time, they do another test which makes GZ change directions amd swim all the way to Hong Kong, blows a hole all the way to hollow earth, immediately runs 2 more fades vs Kong then immediately takes on Mecha! Dude didn't have a single break you can't convince me he was at full strength after the tunnel excavation or 2nd Kong fight. He played all 48min of a basketball game running up and down the court WHILE dropping 50pts and playing lockdown Defense.

    3:55 Godzilla has been explained several times in the franchise to be a constantly evolving creature. Which is why his design and body keeps changing and getting more powerful.
    Too many people don't understand that and use the excuse of "creator bias" to make Godzilla the mvp..even though the creators of this and the newest movie made the story more centered around *Kong* as a character. THe arguments annoy the crap out of me, both are great monsters.

    • @FrostbiteDigital
      @FrostbiteDigital Місяць тому +1

      To be fair, those comments and arguments are made by upset and angry Kong stans who mind you were trolling the G-Community so hard prior to the release of this movie, that when they saw that Kong lost they collectively lost their minds and to this day, still carry on arguing with everyone. The whole "creator bias" argument is still being made despite having both movies featuring Kong as the main focus as you've stated. It's gotten to the point where those same people want Godzilla completely replaced by Kong entirely 😕

  • @JonMercaltchannel-lp4cn

    Ren Serizawa is indeed the son of Ishiro Serizawa from the previous films. I haven’t read it yet, but I know the novelization explains he’s anti Godzilla because he had issues with his dad who was so devoted to Godzilla and he went over the edge with Ishiro’s sacrifice for Godzilla leaving them unable to reconcile. So “Godzilla stole my dad” basically
    They definitey should’ve had that in the movie

  • @anthonyhudak9363
    @anthonyhudak9363 Місяць тому +50

    Mechagodzilla, like Ghidorah is a classic villain from Godzilla's earlier incarnations. What I enjoy about this one is that it's a composite of all the previous versions of Mechagodzilla. In the Godzilla Showa Era (1954-1975), Mechagodzilla was introduced as an alien weapon created to conquer Earth. In the Heisei era (1984, 1989-1995), Mechagodzilla was built by the Japanese military from the remains of Mecha-King Ghidorah. In the Millennium series (1999-2004), Mechagodzilla or Kiryu was also man made, but it's structure is built around the bones of the original Godzilla which would later become sentient and take control of the mech. I really enjoy that this Mechagodzilla is clearly human engineered, uses the skeletal structure of another monster to some extent, and has a malice intent towards humanity because there's an alien intelligence piloting it. Also I love the little detail when Mechagodzilla powers up with the Hollow Earth energy, that you can hear Ghidorah's roar and it sounds almost digitized.

  • @darkothemapper1826
    @darkothemapper1826 Місяць тому +5

    What I love about the intro to this movie is that is just looks like its a pov from Ghidora in mechagodzilla, anaylising his opponets and that it looks like a tourment bracet. Also when mechagodzilla gets possessed by Kevin and then he turns towards Godzilla and does that evil automic laugh. PURE PERFECTION! JUST LOVED IT WHEN I FIRST HEARED IT IN CINEMA.

    @ExecuteOrder_69 Місяць тому +48

    So, you are correct in thinking that Ren is Dr. Serizawa's son. He was going to hate his dad for giving so much of his attention to Godzilla and the titans. The film went through something like a 70-90% rewrite before release, initially being much more of a direct sequel to King of the Monsters. There is a screenshot from a deleted scene out there where Ren and Dr Nathan actually have a conversation in a bar. We can only assume they went more in-depth on Ren's estranged relationship with his dad in the previous version of the film.

    • @Samuel2oh9
      @Samuel2oh9 Місяць тому

    • @sethboyum7420
      @sethboyum7420 Місяць тому +1

      The novelization fleshes out Ren Serizawa and his motivations significantly and gives him an even gnarlier death then what the movie showed. (In general, the novelizations and tie-in comics are really good if you want more insight into the characters and connective tissue between the movies.)

    • @confusedbakugo1373
      @confusedbakugo1373 Місяць тому +2

    For Godzilla floating. Being a giant fictional creature, and aquatic. He could have a modified swim bladder like some aquatic animals do. That in combination with how huge his lungs are would also add to his buoyancy to float or sink when he needs to. Without (much) paddling or treading, kinda like an alligator. But Godzilla being fictional his swim bladder and lungs could allow him to somewhat "stand" upright in the water

      There's a chance that Ren is still alive since according to the novel his body wasn't found and ghidorah skull was still intact so we might be able to see the depth story with Ren and his father, I think the movie would be a mecha uprising with maybe a super mechagodzilla, a mechani kong, and mecha king ghidorah, and I also think monarch would build mechas of their own such as jet jaguar, mogura, kiryu, I think Ren should build kiryu after his redemption.

    It always intrigued me to know that even as a skull, Ghidorah was still alive. Waiting for his revenge, and antagonizing Godzilla with that signal. And with Mechagodzilla and the Hollow Earth Energy, APEX unwittingly gave him the means of carrying out said revenge. Honestly, if it weren't for Kong and team Goji he might have finally killed Godzilla. And I still believe we haven't seen the last of Ghidorah.

    So my biggest problem with this film is the lack of any development for the villains. You get introduced to this Serizawa guy whose literally got the same name as the character who sacrificed himself to save Godzilla in the last film yet this movie NEVER makes the connection that these two characters are father and son unless you read the novel which also ends with Serizawa Jr not actually dying but going into a coma or something whilst potentially possessed by Gidorah's mind. Alot was cut from this film. You even have Lance Riddick (RIP) show up in like one scene and he does nothing. Jessica Henwick (Colleen from Iron Fist) was also cast in this film but all her scenes and storyline got cut in the final edit. I'd really love to see an extended cut to this movie. It feels like alot is missing. Its why I consider this one of the weaker MV projects sadly.

Also, I'm really happy they got rid of Brown's character. She and her group were completely pointless to the story and took away so much time that would have been better spent on other story points.

    90% sure that the idea is that Mechagodzilla is essentially King Ghidorah reborn, and being wired to Ghidorah's skull makes it broadcast the alpha frequency or whatever.
    Hopefully they carry this forward to give us a Mecha-King Ghidorah built using the remaining two Ghidorah skulls, which would mirror classic Mecha Ghidorah having two real Ghidorah heads and one robot head.

    Holden hit the nail on the head with Serizawa. In the novelization, he viewed Godzilla as a cruel older brother who was favored by a neglectful father.

    Fun fact in recent DC comics the monster verse has Crossed over and Kong and Godzilla has been fighting the Justice League etc. Godzilla killed Superman, considering that Superman is very vulnerable to radiation based attacks it actually makes sense also very cool comics

    First time I watched any of these modern godzilla movies I just put it on background while I clean. And when a fight scene came up I took a break. I gotta say that felt like the best way to watch these movies because I enjoyed it more than sitting down and watching it the second time around.

    I agree with you on your opinion on Godzilla vs Kong and the poor "integration" of Kyle Chandler and to a lesser extend Millie Bobby Brown (who has a better treatment but still not good).
    9:24 Missed opportunity to bring back the actor Richard T. Jones as Captain Hampton who played that exact role in Godzilla (2014)! Also, Richard T. Jones was in Super 8 with Kyle Chandler!
    22:36 People might think Eiza Gonzalez Character suddenly turns into a villain. But that's not what is going on here. Rebecca Hall's character suddenly becomes stupid and asks questions she should've asked when the plan was made to bring Kong to Hollow Earth. Why didn't she ask what the purpose of the Apex company was guiding them into Hollow Earth? We got an extended scene between Alexander Starsgard and Delmin Belchir establishing the reason behind the mission. There's no reason to hide that information from Rebecca Hall's character! Because that information does not interfere with the convincing of Kong going to Hollow Earth who's there to find his family. Manufactured conflict. When Eiza gives the order to shoot at Kong that is where she turns evil, this time for no reason!

    I loved this movie. The fight with Kong, Godzilla and Mecha Godzilla was epic. It was everything I wanted. I did love the relationship between Kong and the girl. I loved the scenes in Hong Kong. It brought back memories from when I was there while in the Navy. Standing on the flight deck of my ship at night and looking at the city all lit up was quite the sight. I am not familiar with Pensacola, but I lived in St. Petersburg for ten years before heading back home to New Hampshire. My Mom and my little brother and his family still live there.

    Considering that there are hours of time skipped. The Net is actually so simple you'll feel stupid for not thinking about it. I know I did. The Net was likely just placed on the ground and Kong simply stepped onto it. The fact that he's asleep is likely because that was all he could do - being suspended on a flying net and all. He's just along for the ride.

The ones that come to mind are: King Kong vs Godzilla (1962), Ghidorah, The Three Headed Monster(1964), Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla(1974), Terror of MechaGodzila(1975), Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla(2002). Other than that, glad you have enjoyed this journey through the Monsterverse.
