Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
-
So, trailer just dropped for the new Godzilla Kong movie. While they’re apparently trying to emphasis the kaiju as actual characters more (which is good, and one of my big issues with the series), the more relevent thing for us is the new villain: Scar King.
A giant orangutan (apparently; also, they’re supposed to be another kaiju maybe), he’s also running an empire, to the extent he’s on a throne? He’s ruling over other Kongs, shown by him roaring to assert dominance over them… and more interesting, there’s a second of him doing that same ‘asserting dominance roar’ on a beach filled with people… which is notable, because outside of Ghidorah, the kaiju generally don’t care about random people, unless they do something to stand out.
Between that, and what looks like more of an emphasis on the more traditional ‘people living with kaiju’ the Japanese movies used to have, this could have some interesting stuff for people into Kong and the like.
Power is choice.

Doesn’t look like it, yet, but there’s a what looks like a normal woman underground doing a similar job for… the Kongs?Also, they’re slowly breaking away from trying to make this ‘realistic’, so they might get there once they focus on Mothra again.

I see once again you are a man of culture as well.
