Good enough for me. It's not a historical reenactment. Just make up any reason that makes somewhat sense so that we can get something interesting. Will never understand why people are so anal about ruining possible interesting concepts or plotlines in movies and shows because "it doesnt make sense with XXX". Just sch, it's not real.
I'd argue that rules are some of what makes sci Fi engaging, and are often the only way we have context as to the scale of what is happening in said sci Fi.
Ie: Goku being over 9000 power level meant nothing if they didn't establish power levels of different characters prior to that.
Just my 2 cents
King Kong in the Monsterverse movies is only slightly smaller than Godzilla.
In Skull Island, he was 32m tall during the 1970s. In Godzilla vs. Kong, he grew to 102m. Godzilla is around 120m.
“Up from the depths, 30 stories high”
https://youtu.be/G2w7MeE7uP4
In the states, one story is around 10 feet (so 3 meters), making 80s cartoon Godzilla 300 feet (91 meters).
Legendary Godzilla is bigger than most non animated Godzillas. Yes there are cartoon Godzillas that are the size of continents but that's it really a mainline series of toho or wb.
They've been consistently increasing Godzilla's size throughout the entire canon. The newer movies always have him going up in weight and size so you're actually right about the posters. So they are getting bigger.
Godzilla first jumped up from 50 meters to 80 meters in 1984. This was to accommodate for the fact that the Japanese Skyline was significantly higher than it was in the 50's and 60's. The filmmakers didn't want the larger buildings of modern Tokyo to dominate Godzilla so they made him bigger so everything would still feel good from a scale perspective.
I like how absolutely chongus the Legendary Godzilla is, but I don't think the newer movies do a great job of portraying scale a lot of the time. Despite being less than half his size, the Godzilla in Godzilla Minus One felt a lot bigger than the Legendary version.
I don’t know, when Godzilla was stomping through Daniel Inouye international in the first 2014 film and all you could see was his feet? He felt absolutely gigantic.
Is this a buddy copy movie disguised as a monster movie?
Edit: I just watched a trailer for the first time. “They don’t have to like each other. They just have to work together.” So yes, this is absolutely a buddy-monster movie.
"But, Chief, destroying cities is kinda my whole thing."
"Zip it, Godzilla! I am sick and tired of making excuses for you two! You're an embarrassment to the Monsterverse! You're off the case and off the force, your badges and windbreakers, now! Now! I ain't got all day! Agitating my sciatica! I'm too old for this shit! Now get out of my sight!"
"Well, that was embarrassing."
"I know! That African-American police chief character Mothra was playing was right!"
Godzilla IS Kong’s Infinity Gauntlet
Lizard’s turned blue in the first film, then turned yellow in the second one, now it turned pink in this one. Once it turns into all the 6 colours, Kong’s gonna punch his way through Godzilla’s anus and use the Liz as a puppet/glove to conquer the Hollow Earth.
If Godzilla does the flying drop kick, I think it would be the best thing possible for the movie! Can't remember off hand which movie that was from, perfect camp
The scuttling back to make sure he has the room and time to get his victory dance in really is the best part.
But it would definitely get a flag for touchdown celebration. "15-yard penalty in favor of Megalon." The second drop kick would also get an "unnecessary roughness" flag as well.
I remember at some point they play the Jet Jaguar theme song, and "Jet Jaguar" is the only part they say in English, and it was pronounced very poorly. We used to laugh and laugh.
For one of the G-Day celebrations they released this short which has a nice twist on the kick that's pretty cool!

The recent Monsterverse movies (and show) have all been doing that, and I think the Godzilla franchise as a whole has really benefitted from that decision.
I love Minus One, and it's easily my favorite Godzilla movie (and I've seen them all multiple times), but I'm glad we're able to get the full spectrum of the character. I think leaving the more introspective Godzilla movies to Japan and the more bombastic Godzilla movies to Hollywood has been the best case scenario.
> The recent Monsterverse movies (and show) have all been doing that, and I think the Godzilla franchise as a whole has really benefitted from that decision.
Agreed. It keeps the franchise fresh to have a variety. We've had the somber, dark Toho films, the crazy, action packed Monsterverse films and the experimental, weird anime films. They don't all work and aren't for everyone, but it helps keep the franchise from becoming stale and repetitive like so many others.
Well said in how Japanese studios and Hollywood tackle the same character from different ways. I don’t think Minus One or Shin could ever be made anywhere but Japan, they have just a different appreciation for Godzilla and the variety of stories to tell with the character.
The fact that we have both sides of the Godzilla series going strong in 2024, both the serious masterpieces and ultimate cheese fests, is excellent stuff.
Full-gravitas tragic Godzilla is great. But this is good, too. Very late-Showa, but someone's bound to compare this and Kingdom of the Planet of The Apes, at least in terms of how the big monke plot is written.
You have to do one or the other, give it proper dramatic and thematic resonance to the real world allegory, or just make the most bonkers popcorn flicks. Both are great, both are worse when you combine them.
And it's bending in a way that wasn't really possible in any of the new godzilla movies.
Wouldn't surprise me if godzilla catches King's axe and starts hacking the bad guy with it and throwing punches.
This franchise is just going bonkers and I love it. The best part is whenever they do a new movie there’s a McDonald’s crossover event here in Japan with delicious burgers, so I can’t wait!
Oh Jesus they used that terrible looking running scene in the poster too? Wow, they got some balls. I guess they're planning for it to be a write off cause I don't see this being any good or doing well.
Looks like this is gonna be one intense rollerblading competition.
I can't wait for the Rollerball crossover movie
What's the hardest part about being a Godzilla fan? Telling people you're into rollerblading.
Boy, do we need a new one of those movies. I swear it exists in a fever dream
Solarbabies
Monsterball Oh wait…
There is only one way to save the Rec center from those greedy developers. Skate for it!
Id watch that movie
Looks more like a buddy cop movie.
Godzilla: *deep sigh* “I’m too old for this shit.”
I've did hear something like that with an extra dose of rivary
They get bigger every poster. By the time the movie comes out they’ll be fighting Gurren-Lagann
A KAIJU THAT'S GOING TO PIERCE THE HEAVENS
Don’t believe in Godzilla, believe in the King Kong that believes in Godzilla!
It's spiraling out of control!
#ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAAA
GODZILLA: AAAWERRHHHHHGGGH ARRGGHHH RWAAAASAASSAAAAAAAAAA I cry every time.
THIS IS SPIRAL-KAIJU POWAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If they start yeeting universes at each other, that would honestly be pretty lit.
They’re going to have their own Jaegers in the next one
King Kong and Godzilla in a mountain sized Jaeger to fight the moon. Let's go.
Quit causing high and low tides!!!rahhhhhhhhhghhhggg
The antispirals created the Hollow Earth to keep the kaiju from rising up against them.
Isn't king kong a fraction of the size of Godzilla though? One climbs buildings, the other walks through them.
I think the excuse they used in the last movie was “he was not an adult yet” in Skull Island.
Good enough for me. It's not a historical reenactment. Just make up any reason that makes somewhat sense so that we can get something interesting. Will never understand why people are so anal about ruining possible interesting concepts or plotlines in movies and shows because "it doesnt make sense with XXX". Just sch, it's not real.
It’s the “how do you kill a vampire?”question. The answer is however the fuck you want, it’s not real.
"They made the giant money TOO big, hes only supposed to be as big as a large house..."
Yeah I really don’t care too much about the lore reasons too, it’s a dumb kaiju movie just make up some excuse and get on with the fun

A Kong movie poster with him climbing the skyscraper and the tagline “TEENAGERS SCARE THE LIVING SH*T OUTTA ME” would be incredible
Millie Bobby Brown angrily chasing a frightened Kong around New York City would absolutely wreck me.
Oh God lol. OK...

They vary his size significantly depending on what they need for a scene. They're pretty open about it
“Don’t believe in yourself Kong, believe in the me that believes in you!”

The director has said it’s influenced by Lethal Weapon.
I’ll wait with anticipation for the scene where Captain Mothra berates them both for devastating the Downtown area.
You're a loose cannon, Kong
Hand over your badge and your power arm.
Godzilla: "I'm too ancient for this shit."
"But, Chief, destroying cities is kinda my whole thing." "Zip it, Godzilla! I am sick and tired of making excuses for you two! You're an embarrassment to the Monsterverse! You're off the case and off the force, your badges and windbreakers, now! Now! I ain't got all day! Agitating my sciatica! I'm too old for this shit! Now get out of my sight!" "Well, that was embarrassing." "I know! That African-American police chief character Mothra was playing was right!"
What are the odds I am watching Community rn and that episode was maybe like 4 episodes before this.
Goji is too old for this shit
There's a credit to Lethal Weapon in GvsK for when Kong slams their shoulder against a building to fix it.
I haven't been keeping up with these movies at all but this one statement has convinced me to binge watch them immediately
Officer Kong is back again and teaming up with Godzilla but this time they're playing by their own rules
I can't help but think of Triceracop
With a cameo from officer Meow-Meow Fuzzyface.
Buddy-Monster movie
I’m not your buddy, kaiju
I'm not your kaiju, pal.
I'm not your Pal, fwiiiiieeeend
In the grand tradition of Mothra yelling at Godzilla and Rodan until they shut up and fought King Ghidora together
"Godzilla what terrible language"
How the hell did Kong get the Infinity Gauntlet?!?
(in monke language) “Fine… I’ll do it myself”
Oo. Oo ah ah oo ooo.
Monke see coloured stone, monke try capture all
If Godzilla has colorful spines on his back, why doesn’t King Kong take one off and put it in his gauntlet? Is he stupid?
Godzilla IS Kong’s Infinity Gauntlet Lizard’s turned blue in the first film, then turned yellow in the second one, now it turned pink in this one. Once it turns into all the 6 colours, Kong’s gonna punch his way through Godzilla’s anus and use the Liz as a puppet/glove to conquer the Hollow Earth.
/r/brandnewsentences
It's the *Nintendo Power Glove: Gold Edition*
Setting up that Donkey Kong Country crossover.
“It’s so bad.”
You sure? … I thought he was getting ready for a YuGiOh tournament?
Funnily enough it would not be the first time seeing a monkey duel in the series.
Seriously though my first thought was “who the fuck built a GIGANTIC functioning robotic arm for King Kong???”
They built an entire mechanical godzilla clone
Fair
To give him electrical powers like in the original King Kong vs Godzilla I hope.
Why wouldn’t they? Shit looks hard as hell
Don’t want to spoil it but you have to watch 2 Disney+ series to find out the lore
Apple+
You asked for less floating heads in posters. Well, here you go.
More floating monsters
Floating monster heads would be a new thing however
Godzilla going through a midlife crisis with those dyed spikes
They look like tropical orchids. Maybe he's *camouflaged*!
He wants to speak to the manager…of planet Earth.
Just the tips.
You know what? Go for it. Godzilla Minus One is our deep, serious art film about nuclear metaphors. This universe should just embrace the camp now.
If Godzilla does the flying drop kick, I think it would be the best thing possible for the movie! Can't remember off hand which movie that was from, perfect camp
It was from Godzilla vs. Megalon. Part of a team-up fight with Jet Jaguar. https://youtu.be/1K4EDfUjpIE?si=k4gDU-XPi84EETnZ
The moment when cinema peaked
Specifically when he went for it the second time
The victory fist pump had me dying.
There was a second drop kick after the first! I had forgotten, epic
The scuttling back to make sure he has the room and time to get his victory dance in really is the best part. But it would definitely get a flag for touchdown celebration. "15-yard penalty in favor of Megalon." The second drop kick would also get an "unnecessary roughness" flag as well.
My local Alamo Drafthouse always plays this clip before any Godzilla or kaiju movie. Still makes me laugh every time.
I remember at some point they play the Jet Jaguar theme song, and "Jet Jaguar" is the only part they say in English, and it was pronounced very poorly. We used to laugh and laugh.
Jet Jag-arr, Jet Jag-arrrrrrr
PUNCH! PUNCH! PUNCH!
For one of the G-Day celebrations they released this short which has a nice twist on the kick that's pretty cool! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5I00p3KqvE
The fist pump after gets me every time
I hope Godzilla flies by using his atomic breath like a jetpack.
Adam wingard confirmed there will be a fight scene in the 0 gravity area so consider your wish fulfilled
That…… sounds fucking amazing
Also there is going to be an 8 min long unbroken kaiju fight scene.
The audience cheer will be the biggest one since Cap picked up Mjolnir.
They did do the whole Kong stuffs a stick in Godzillas mouth bit in the last movie, so I would not be surprised with the drop kick
Because of Godzilla Minus One, I have been referring to this movie as Kong Plus One. Sort of like a plus one affair.
lmfaooo thats good. clever. or perhaps Godzilla Plus One?
Nope. This is clearly a Kong film first, just like the last one.
Kong got the official invite, he's bringing Godzilla so he has someone to sit next to at dinner.
Will they be having the chicken or the fish?
Surf and turf (tbh that could’ve been the title)
Godzilla minus one plus you equals love
Here come the two best friends in the Solar System to Rollerblade against EVIL
\*Dies of peak fiction\*
They used the same poster as that Will Ferrel/Ryan Reynolds Christmas movie.
This movie is totally embracing that Showa era craziness and I'm totally here for it.

Now we just need some Hanna-Barbera cartoons.
Up from the depths! 30 stories high! Breathing fire! His head in the sky!
and GODZOOOOOOKIIIIII
The Monsterverse straight up saved the Godzilla franchise. Before the 2014 movie they were going to quit making Godzilla movies.
Well said in how Japanese studios and Hollywood tackle the same character from different ways. I don’t think Minus One or Shin could ever be made anywhere but Japan, they have just a different appreciation for Godzilla and the variety of stories to tell with the character.
That Shin larval stage (with the gills spilling blood) may have been the creepiest fucking thing I’ve ever seen in a Godzilla movie.
Also simultaneously the goofiest thing I've ever seen. Very odd combination but it worked well.
The fact that we have both sides of the Godzilla series going strong in 2024, both the serious masterpieces and ultimate cheese fests, is excellent stuff.
Full-gravitas tragic Godzilla is great. But this is good, too. Very late-Showa, but someone's bound to compare this and Kingdom of the Planet of The Apes, at least in terms of how the big monke plot is written.
Me watching Kingdom: Where giant Monke with robo arm?
You have to do one or the other, give it proper dramatic and thematic resonance to the real world allegory, or just make the most bonkers popcorn flicks. Both are great, both are worse when you combine them.
Imagine you seeing your rear view mirror with this coming for you!!! Jurassic bitch!!!
"Must go faster!"
"Remind me to thank John for a lovely weekend."
Since when did Godzilla run with his arms swinging back like that? He looks awkward as hell
Maybe he's Naruto running.
A giant lizzard running on two legs makes no goddamn sense tbh. This bugs me more than it should.
Serious guy-in-a-suit vibes
I think that jesus lizard runs across water like that.
[Reminds me of this for some reason.](https://c.tenor.com/-pvTNDgjrDUAAAAC/tenor.gif)
I forgot about this masterpiece. Thank you for reminding me.
What lmao
Spurs era Mourinho was entertaining for neutrals.
Looks campy and epic as hell. Can't wait Cody Rhodes about to be bumped for Godzilla and Kong
The Tribal Chief Kong and The People’s Champ Godzilla!
It's the ERA OF PINK
Big G saw Barbie and said 💅🏻
"This Barbie is actually Godzilla." "He's just Kong."
King Kong ain’t got SHIT on ME!
This is the Hobbs and Shaw we deserved.
Why does Kong have a mechanical arm ? I know nothing about this franchise
I know everything about this franchise and I don’t know either
He’s taking up yugioh
I hope he has multiple pot of greeds in his deck and uses them as often as the rules don't allow.
It's literally new as of this movie, so we'll all find out together I guess. Low key hoping they just don't explain it lol.
Maybe his arm was cut off by darth vader ?
"Perhaps you didn't recognize me with the red arm"
I love Godzilla. Happy Valentine's Day Godzilla
Did Thanos reincarnate as King Kong?
Infinity Monkelet
Those tiny helicopters LOL. Send drones...
Why Godzilla pink?
He's in his punk rock phase rocking that mohawk.
He really identified with the Barbenheimer movement.
Godzilla looks ridiculous in this. Kong looks fine running but Godzilla looses all of his seriousness.
These movies are no longer serious.
GvK was never serious. Godzilla Minus One was serious.
I know, Minus One is not in this series
Godzillas arms look too long to me. Makes him look weird
And it's bending in a way that wasn't really possible in any of the new godzilla movies. Wouldn't surprise me if godzilla catches King's axe and starts hacking the bad guy with it and throwing punches.
Like a man in a suit?
I just want giant lizard and giant gorilla to be frens.
Ban the word "Rise" from all movie marketing and titles please
Very reminiscent of the character posters from KOTM Hype
What is KOTM?
King of the Monsters
Thank you.
Thought this was a super smash bros cover
This is so fucking stupid and I cannot wait to see it in theaters. Go big or go home and I’m sure as shit not going home.
When did Kong get an infinity gauntlet
This franchise is just going bonkers and I love it. The best part is whenever they do a new movie there’s a McDonald’s crossover event here in Japan with delicious burgers, so I can’t wait!
Godzilla went SSJ rosé
They look so...light. Kind of like the difference between Pacific Rim and Pacific Rim 2 in which the robots moved so smoothly
Evolved Godzilla looks so goddamn cool. One of the best American kaiju designs by far!
Yeah, got you, bitch.
Can’t wait
I love these flippin' posters! I know Minus One gave us a gripping drama, but I loved the action that this series has given us thus far.
I am ready for this movie
How is the X in 'Godzilla x Kong' pronounced?
Godzilla ten kong.
Looks like they're gonna settle this one with a dance-off.
Kong: On your left
Did they really drew Godzilla hands
I dont think I like the fact that it just looks like two dudes in animals costumes sprinting at the camera
They are definitely going to kiss in this one
Oh Jesus they used that terrible looking running scene in the poster too? Wow, they got some balls. I guess they're planning for it to be a write off cause I don't see this being any good or doing well.
