Kong using Suko like nunchucks is the absolute highlight of the film
My theatre burst out laughing when that happened. Me included
I laughed louder than everyone else in a packed theater. That alone was worth the price of admission.
Seeing Doug made me smile 😊
@@WeCube1898 it was a short time but a great time
It caught me so off guard 😭😭 honestly they did the mannerisms so well this movie
Kong smiling with his metal tooth after Skar lost his was comedy gold.
Suko is the MVP. I love how they just gave us extended scenes of just the animals interacting with no human exposition or interference
That was a big W, clearly Wingard knew what people wanted and it was a fun movie with a lot of fighting
It wouldn't surprise me if he directed the next two or three movies going forward
@@interviolet6675 I agree, I do also think the human element of the movie was pretty good too. Not the absolute best but it was still goo enough and didn't detract from the monsters.
Scar King’s body language in this felt like a smug anime villian
Kinda reesembled Beast Titan
He was standing on business initially, lol
On IG it say Godzilla form was from dbz reference for Akira so probably so
He was inspired by negan
Super Buu
Kong, with the beard and the ax following Suko gave me big Kratos energy. You can practically hear him shout BOY when Suko acts up.
I mean, a powerful being with an axe and a beard, a kid with red hair, Kong and Suko are literally Kratos and Atreus. The only difference is, Kratos did not use Atreus as a flail xD
@@thedeathgod1995yet 😂😂😂😂
@thedeathgod1995 I mean, there's definitely been moments where Kratos probably felt like it tho 🤣🤣
Same I had so much Kratos and Atreus vibes
Yall looking too deep into it bruh
I loved the added detail of Scar King moving his eyes right before Kong shattered his frozen ass into pieces. Adam Wingard wanted us to know that he was conscious and helpless in his final moments.
Im surprised the freezing didn't kill him
@@petergresh516likely out his near death damaging all his major tissue. If he just left frozen he probably would’ve died eventually, but Kong wasn’t taking any chances and crushed him into a million pieces 😂
His own weapon turned against him
not to mention, you notice the red glow in his eye slowly fades away, like Mechagodzilla after Kong decapitated him
Best part of the movie was all the personality they gave Godzilla, Kong, and Scar King.
I know it doesnt make sense, but it added so much fun to the movie.
Kong was hilarious in this movie
I was blown away by the depth. I felt like I could completely understand what they were saying despite though I don't speak kaiju
Nah makes sense
Why doesn't it make sense? Animals have personality.
@@dmin5782 - but up until this point theyve been depicted as very "real" animals. But Kong doing the "no wait" action when Godzilla charges him sends it into cartoon reality, and im here for it
The ape that Suko killed at the end and always ran away from Kong gave me Starscream vibes
“The huMaNs have taKen it!”
Well kong gave me Optimus primal vibes
I love Skar king!!!
@@FarradMuseumofTruthSkar King is Megatron in a way
17:46 huh what? You got it wrong, the movie literally said the opposite. Scar King and the great apes rebelled against nature, so Godzilla fought and defeated them, then imprisoned them in the Hollow Earth so they couldn’t come to the surface.
ALSO also also. SHIMO! SHIMO, not SHIMU
I agree, Godzilla was not banished by the apes. Scar King was the "evil" in the Iwi scriptures and that he led the apes but Godzilla fought them and they were the ones banished by Godzilla to where they are on the film
I don't even know how anyone can get that wrong, when Godzilla is protector of the Earth. He is the one who banishes anyone who threatens balance of nature.
@@bhargavipba because the guys at this channel don’t actually watch the movies and put their own little headcanons as fact
15:17 ghidorah is an invasive species, he’s a destroyer, not a protector!
Probably just a slip there
@gustavoclarindo101 There's alot of slips in this vid tbh
In one of the old films he was the protector of earth and Godzilla was the destroyer.
@@OutlawOfTexasWhich film? I don't ever recall that in the old old movies
@@danielhughes5932 Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack
Doug has a name his official name is Titanus Doug
yup Titanus Doug is his cannon name. :D
Yeah and godzilla is 412 I think now
Kong was so scared of doug he didnt even bother attacking him
@@zenubos2166i doubt it Doug has the personality of a cute but dumb dog and is way smaller then Kong. so Doug wouldn't be worth the time to attack
I like when kong shows up and his face says "yall really live in mordor?"
It's so funny because I got some isengard vibes like when all the orcs were tearing down all the trees and making weapons and everything
Now that Kong has been a main character in two movies I hope in the next one they focus on a Godzilla story or a different monster like Mothra or Anguirus.
the director confrim the nextt one will focus on godzilla.
You do know godzilla has appeared in 4 movies to Kong 3
And Godzilla versus Kong they were both the main monsters
@@kingced88yeah, and in both of “Godzilla’s” (2014 / 2019) movies and in GvK he got 30 minutes of screentime
Kong in 2017 alone got almost more screentime than Godzilla in 3 out of 4 movies
What i love about this movie is they dont give a f about the damages and the people. The way godzilla destroys the bridges they dont give a f about human casualties and i love ut
Right. Like he keeps the balance.. but at the same time.. he don’t GAF
Watching Godzilla in Minus One: omg this is so sad what he’s doing to those poor people
Watching Godzilla in this: leave Godzilla alone if you don’t wanna get crushed 😂😂😂
@@Jstielo I mean... killing a few people is the same as killing ants, it doesn't really change anything or upsets the balance so yea, I can understand why he DGAF
Now I know why Godzilla was like a grumpy cat at times and the colosseum scenes was definitely showing Godzilla like a cat
So that's why I love Godzilla
That scene in particular was inspired by Adam Wingard's cat 😂
I love Godzilla
In the movie didn’t they say Godzilla locked the scar king in the sub terrarium of hollow earth? Not that they banished Godzilla
Yep
Yup they do
I loved that Godzilla had absolutely no chill and was ready to fight immediately after a threat appeared. Godzilla looked like he was having the time of his life during that zero gravity brawl scene.
I love the part where Kong just starts riding Godzilla without consent
I was the only one that went bananas in the theater
I saw him give a slight nod right before he hopped on
Bananas
The bananas were after the battle. 👌
@@Jstieloexactly
100 bananas is equal to one red balloon in Nintendo Kong Canon
1:52 I'm sorry what was that? 😂
Godzilla was crazy for that
Godzilla has gotten smart
Started off wrong as hell 😂
Godzilla getting shape shifting abilities is crazy
makes me thing they do like a single take for these videos....and the editors don't give enough shits to say anything
Perfect timing literally just walked out of the theater.
you said godzilla at 1:52
Yeah thats right
The whole frame with the 4 titans was just amazing
The novel states that Godzilla sleeps in the coliseum because it reminds him of his Hollow Earth home we blew up
1:52. Didn’t know Godzilla grabbed a death jackal and ripped it apart with his small hands
Death jacket. Lol
Why are you using “their”, Godzilla’s literally a he. Stop being so scared of misgendering a fictional character and all that crap lol.
@@HugeDanielMcIt’s not a big deal mate. Calm down
@@Xosumnos naw it really is a big deal. This is what society has come to where people are afraid to misgender someone or something and must be politically correct 😂😂
He is Godzilla and he is Kong!
Could the monster who ate a star be a reference to Space Godzilla?
That’s what I’m thinking because it kinda makes more sense
Nah. Stars are composed of radioactive elements. Godzilla absorbs said radioactive elements. 'Stars' here is just an allegory or euphemism.
Nah. It's just our Godzilla. Something people don't really think about when it comes to nuclear power is that the first time we split the atom, we triggered something that only happens in stars such as the sun. Godzilla poetically "ate a star" because he consumes radiation and has the power of nuclear energy like a star. SpaceGoji is just a clone with a weird backstory. Nothing about him references a star.
@@25Erix you think this could be them making their own backstory on spacegoji? just a thought ik it’s about our godzilla
Makes sense since the godzilla shown in the mural has wings and uses atomic breathe.
Its crazy how the fans predicted all the plot twist in the movie
1.mothra stopping godzilla from fighting kong
2.Tye ice spike on skars whip being broken to free shimo
3.Tiamat being in the film
4.Kong becoming king at the end
Godzilla is still king
Yeah......
@@treanmunt1420💀💀 Kong isn’t anywhere close to Gz
@@wyattkunkler668 not king of the monsters
King of the great apes aka his species
@@treanmunt1420 make sense put that way 👍🏼
It’s so sad that after all of that Kong Suko and Shimu are together, they have a world with the other apes. Godzilla however, is still alone. He has no one, only brief fleeting moments with Mothora
Hopefully him
And shiny get together and have a lizard baby
he's kinda alone and isn't, iirc, after he absorbed mothrah back in KoTM he got hyperaware just about everythingi in history
1:52 those are Wartdogs, not Death Jackals. Death jackals are different species from skull island
The amount of times Jessica said Godzilla when talking about Kong in this rewatch series is crazy.
Thought I was losing it. 😂
Best movie of 2024 so far
Mom I’m famous
False
@@radiation0559our opinion not yours
Dune 2 clears
@@donx7915 thank you
@@pepperoni108the funny thing is
No one cares
They're called wartdogs, not death jackles
I love that Shimu's design is influenced by the Rhedosaurus from 1953's "Beast from 20,000 Fathoms", a monster movie that inspired Godzilla.
The frost abilities it has may even be a refference to the Rhedosaurus' first apperance thawing out from ice.
We gonna ignore the fact Kong was using Suko to smack around the other apes? Lol
this movie was was so good 😭
fr
No it wasn’t. It was mid
@@XanaxTheWisestlet people enjoy their opinions tho damn
@@EnzoPepsiCola their opinion is wrong and they should know it
@@XanaxTheWisest it's just an opinion, an opinion can't be wrong since it's all down to interpretation
Ghidorah is a protector?
Yes
No
@@TheMe-Di-O-CrePandano he's not
I liked when Kong pulled the Ole Pocketsand moment.
Hold up. Did I hear you say that Suko is the same height as Kong was in Skull Island? What????
Taller actually, by like 30 feet
Visually doesn’t make sense but Lore wise I guess
I loved godzilla in this film. I wonder what they'll do with Shimo in the upcoming movies
Doug looks like a small godzilla, maybe doug is what zilla was before the radiation?
He's gonna become Godzillas son in the next film I just know it
And Bernie's gonna say "Is that a mini-zilla"
@@petergresh516 dougzilla? Absolutely
The hollow earth is surging with radiation. What do you mean
@@austinbaker9679 lol good one
Those creatures that were chasing Kong in the beginning are called Wart dogs.
They kinda looked like the wargs from Lord of the Rings Two Towers
Not every little thing is a reference.
First time here?
@@danielhughes5932 No, I'm just tired of the reaching to connect the dots. Either they connect or they dont
Like the "bisexual" title? 😅
After Godzilla absorbs the french power plant, he dives into the water and the steam that comes off his body is a cool shot. Also im pretty sure Godzilla hit Kong with a Suplex 😅
My favorite part was Mothera stopping Godzilla and basically saying "freaken CHILLAX FOR ONCE!" Lol! 😅
Godzilla??? Hmmm Im no expert but I think it was Kong who ripped the death jackal in half 🤣🤣
I wish the Titans sizes were more consistent. If Suko is 149 feet he should be almost half as tall as Kong and not closer to 1/4 like it seems in the movie
This also happened with Godzilla in what I think was a French poster for the 2014 movie that showed Zilla taller than the Eiffel Tower which is almost 1000 feet tall
I was thinking the same. I didn't see a single scene where Suko appears that big. Most of the movie he comes to just over Kong's knee. Looks to be closer to 80-100 feet.
@@LARGO125 Yeah that's what I was thinking
It was a really interesting way to acknowledge real ape behavior with the Scar King being the dominant breeding male in the troupe, most of the offspring would be his own, presumably Suko included. The ape that SK kicked into the lava may have been Suko's mother.
I just realized we had a Godzilla movie without any Japanese scientists. The end of a tradition. 😕
When kong was about to finish skar king the quick cut to godzilla smile like expression was just perfect, the movie is my perfect start of summer just perfect
@7:15 it's probably a reference to space godzilla, the full quote was a godzilla that ate a star and turned evil.
I watched this last weekend. The monster fights were fun and looked great. Glad I decided to watch this in theaters instead of waiting to see it at home.
Well someone actually made a great case that the "Titan that ate a star" could be a potential setup for Space Godzilla, with all the crystals and whatnot in hollow earth, it does make some sense.
This movie was so dang Awesome! So much fun eye-candy CGI!
I’m so happy to see people like you including all the easter eggs I sprinkled into the graffiti wall outside of the Colosseum. I knew fans would love it!
Just watched it with my 7 year old son. What a fun movie! Just a good time! Good movie.
I like how both godzilla and shimo quite literally change the atmosphere
At 1:52 Godzilla really ripped that death jackal
Honestly, these movies are so much fun when we mainly focus on the titans. This movie was so much fun and like I've been watching it on repeat.
I stopped watching when they said Godzilla (kong) grabbed a death jackal and rips it apart above his head..
I expected some Transformers level video game slop and I was pleasantly surprised. Love all the attention invested into Titans’ personalities. And that Golden Earring Hollow Earth entry segway scene was absolutely 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
I noticed when godzilla was juiced up radiating blue, he was boiling the water around him as he was diving into the ocean
I loved it!!!!! So much action. It didn’t need to make sense. It was beautiful 🤩 especially in IMAX
I love the god of war kind of moments in the movie
I thought that with Kong and Suko. "Boy!" Lol
@@nealdiamond8513 exactly right 😂 it was awesome and Godzilla being a cat
10:23 it could be Guiron!
So much ❤ for this movie. Kong was funny in the last one, and hilarious in this one. Loved his tired dad vibes all throughout.
I loved how expressive they all are! The fight scenes are so good! I loved everything about the movie!
That suplex was my favorite
1:52 Godzilla did what?😂
This movie was actually spectacular! I need more Godzilla
So if Mothra wouldn't have died in KOTM then would they need to wake up another Mothra in hollow Earth or would the original Mothra go to the Iwi people?
Saw this movie opening day, as any big Godzilla fan should lol, and it was so much fun
This movie exceeded expectations
I walked out of this movie at the end, with a smile on my face for hours. Gonna see it again.
Loved it. This one was the most fun in the series so far.
This movie reminded me of an actual good movie from our past. No hidden meanings. If there was couldn’t find it. Just a fun action movie.
The one who ate the star is a reference to space godzilla
Movie was 9/10 for me. Action packed, good cgi, gave emotion to the titans and had decent pacing. My nitpicks are how convenient they found a glove to fit the hand Kong coincidentally just injured lol and tiamat fight could’ve been longer
Simplifying the movie franchise
1. Angry lizard commits murder on a loving husband and wife
2. Angry Lizard's Wife gets murder so he becomes so mad his blood literally boils and obliterates Space 3 headed wyvern
3. Angry Lizard fights Monke because he's insecure about his position
5:48 this is exactly why I bought the sleepy Godzilla funky the second after I finished watching the movie 😂😂
movie was amazing. so fun and SO MUCH MONSTER.
really hope they continue this universe and keep these movies coming
In some official Godzilla book (from Universal) I read that Ghidorah has some brothers living up in space, maybe in the future they can use them as villains looking to avenge their brother
Rio beach- frozen in "Geostorm"
Rio beach- frozen & flattened in "Godzilla X Kong"
RIP Rio
there was a scene where Godzilla was on his way to fight that giant spider and a military helicopter was near Godzilla's face... Godzilla roared at it like "GET OFF MY FACE" and the helicopter flew away... i laughed so hard on that scene...
The osprey
So talking about the Mothra eggs. It would be a great precedent for Battra!!
someone didn’t do all the research, those aren’t death jackals chasing kong, they’re called wart dogs lmao
Does the name rly matter tho?
Exactly
These people never do their research
@@tusheerdatt3441 average folk
@@tusheerdatt3441 their ignorant in a way.
It wasnt bad. Enjoyed taking my kids to see it. We had fun!
0:55 it’s actually Jim Reeves but Elvis does sing a cover of the song too
I’m glad you caught this one too! 😊
I'm so excited! Been checking back every day for this since the movie came out 😌🤙
1:52 “Godzilla”💀
LETSSS GOOO been waiting for this video since the movie came out.
19:28 isn’t that gipsy danger’s arm?
when we first see bernie on the monitor we can see smth about planet x from the old movies a neat detail
@1:52 ***KONG*** (accidentally said Godzilla) ❤❤
1:51 you called Kong Godzilla
I really liked this movie, was it a bit over the top? Maybe, but I still liked it. Regarding the graffiti with GZ eating the pizza and the punch, punch, punch fists; I think this also relates to the Godzilla toy that came out in the 70's-80's. His right fist was detachable and could be shot short distances. I know, because I had one. lol.
Something I noticed is the scene where Kong fights the lake serpent could be a nod to King Kong Escapes where he saves humans from a giant sea snake
1:52
Godzilla?
13:10 actually it's starting to retcon that Skar probably made that print a long time ago
And the other (gorillas or apes) are smaler the kong ,because the air pressure inside hollow earth might be stronger than above the earth. And they are living there for like a lot
Did anyone else notice Kong on the back of Godzilla just as they attack Skar King and Shimo?
Bisexual title? It’s just a title…. Why are you forcing it to be bisexual?
Thank you so much
@@diesel749 no worries
Saw it in IMAX. Cheered the entire time!
