    Right now we’re experiencing history in the making, in 60 years time we’ll look back on what it was like to live around the release of the MonsterVerse, and how it affected us, and the generations that come after us will enjoy these films for as long as Godzilla or Kong remain icons.

    Personally, I've always seen Kong and Godzilla as both representations of how man's ego can ruin nature, but different ends of the spectrum. Kong has always felt like if man struck at nature and destroys something beautiful that didn't deserve it. Godzilla on the other end has felt like if man strikes at nature, but if nature struck back with even more devastating results.

    For almost 60 yrs we've waited for the two biggest monstars of cinema to clash since they first met in 1962. Now with the MonsterVerse seemlingly coming to a close, we the G fans have the luxury of getting to witness the biggest rematch and crossover of the century, along with millions of audience members and average movie goers. Regardless if the movie fails or suceeds or if it's even good or bad, let's all be thankful we got to see this rematch happen and godzilla was treated with the faithfulness of the toho character while still being a modern rendition of the character while kong was brought back bigger than ever with changes done without losing the soul of the 8th wonder of the world. Long live the two kings of cinema that i and along with millions of other kaiju fans grew up with!

    It really is Wild how many people I’ve seen so excited for this movie. I’ve had friends who literally DO NOT CARE for the Monsterverse but they are straight up are excited for this movie. They’ve even decided to watch the other Monsterverse movies to see what they’re expecting and holy hell they were excited. It also helps that movies are at a standstill right now and there’s little to no movies coming out. So when two such iconic monsters get paired up to duke it out. Everyone’s primal instinct to just see monsters duel it out kicks in. I cannot wait to see this movie. It also makes me smile seeing younger kids get excited to see this movie as they’re living in the best time as the Monsterverse seems to grow.

    I hate to say this but, you forgot to mention how in the years after King Kong vs Godzilla there were attempts at getting the two together again. The first was a sequel simply titled Continution: King Kong vs Godzilla which never came to fruition, the second was how they tried to remake it during the Heisei era, but due to high prices from RKO at the time, they couldn't make it and instead made Godzilla vs King Ghidorah. As well, while Godzilla and King Kong didn't meet again until now, during that time he did face off against Mechani-Kong (the robot ape from King Kong escape and the King Kong Show) in some of the manga, and even tried making a movie where Godzilla fought Mechani-Kong. But RKO once again said it was like King Kong enough and required them to pay just as much to use.

    Even more metatextually though, its fair because it puts Kong in the Underdog category, which makes the fight actually MORE fair. Plus I think it suits Kong to be the underdog, in his own movies he always loses out in the end, but I think that means his loss in this movie would be a bittersweet homage, or his win would be even greater as he did the impossible! Though I expect him to lose, likely due to him sacrificing himself to save the girl from the trailer, then someone can say the iconic line "It was beauty which killed the beast!".

    Great video! I think that one detail that should be made known is the copyright trickiness behind the scenes, as the new version of Kong essentially can only exist because technically the "Kong" character is public domain, whereas "King Kong" seems to be a Universal-owned copyright.

    In recent years, Americans have become a lot more accepting of Japanese culture. Whether it's studying it or the revent resurgence of anime popularity among the youth, Japan is still making waves in American shores. Especially Godzilla, which with pokemon, is one of the first pieces of a japanese property that american kids are exposed to. The last 2 american godzilla movies have gotten massive hype when they came out and yet Kong still beat them at the box office because he's still more recognizable and known in the West. This fight has to happen now, and it's going to be Godly.

    Because of the trailer of Godzilla vs Kong, I end up watching all the previous Godzilla Movies, with the exception of all monsters attack and Godzilla(98), and I don't regret it. They were such incredible films, and I still think that the practical effects hold up today for the majority of the movies

  • @GBDupree
    @GBDupree3 жыл бұрын

    I think Kong seemingly having no chance against Godzilla is actually what makes this movie so compelling for many people. Godzilla is so powerful, that's why he is called GODzilla, meanwhile Kong is only a king. Yet that makes him an underdog that everyone can root for, especially since more then any movie we don't know who will win, plus that is in his character. Even in the first movie, despite being a giant monster, he was an underdog by the end, and succumbed to the might of humanity. Skull Island removed a lot of stuff that was iconic to the original tale, but I'm thinking that was so they could integrate it into this movie. We already have the setup of him protecting a girl from a giant lizard, much like the dinosaur fight of the original. I think it works too that he would lose, much like how he always dies in his films. However, I hope that the movie has him die because he puts his focus on protecting that girl during his fight, then it would give new context for when someone says "it was beauty that killed the beast", it would be a great way to pay homage to his films, and solves the dilemma of who will win. These are some of my thoughts, I'm very excited!

    Of course I've known the name Godzilla my entire life, but 2014 really made me interested. I was about 10 years old at the time, and I remember watching the trailers over and over, and just wanting to see more. One day I looked up the original Godzilla films on youtube, and I just had this pure feeling of joy. "Oh my god, that's amazing! There's so many more monsters for him to fight!" Now I'm a senior in high school and about to be 18. I've seen every single Godzilla film, and it's my favorite thing in the world. I want to thank Legendary and Warner Bros. for further introducing me to the King of the Monsters. It's been an amazing 7 year journey so far, and I can't wait to see him take on the Eighth Wonder of the World in the rematch of the century!

    It's too bad that we're in the middle of a pandemic, which is going to take heavy toll on the movie's box office, causing channels like Midnight's Edge to assume WB to think the Monsterverse is a failure, when it's only because elements out of their control.

    Here's hoping Pacific Rim gets a genuine turn by the original cast again in the future. I sincerely would love a crossover, and everyone was thinking it when they saw it. The concept of Godzilla in the future, a Godzilla Beyond, or Gozilla 2099 if you will, having to tend to the Jaegers, while perhaps being key to dealing with the rift itself once and for all, would be absolutely brilliant. Make him even older, and beaten, and experienced. The jaegers, being nuclear-powered could play a huge role in tension between them as well, I mean it's just full of gold.
