I saw it; it's no Minus 1, but it's an okay movie.
I agree, its still pretty Kong-centric, and Skar King Louie is not an "A" level threat, IMO (if you didn't either hear "I Wanna Be Like You" and/or have to fight the urge to say "right turn, Clyde" every time he appeared on-screen...), although he makes a decent rival for Kong to de-throne.
I feel like Kong's little buddy (Suko?) should have been albino as a nod to the original Son of Kong.
Did Kong's glove have a shock attack? If so, that might have been a nice reference to the original King Kong vs Godzilla. Kinda want a Monsterverse Mechanikong, now, too.
Godzilla had a couple decent moments in the film, but definitely wasn't the star of the show.
Still waiting for Monsterverse Godzilla to use eye lasers; it would amuse me to no end if they made a subtle connection to the Hanna-Barbera Godzilla series.
I'm not sure how I feel about the slimming down of Godzilla Evolved; sorta reminds me of '98's Ferris Zilla's Day Off, and not the good bits. At least it's not super noticeable during the fights.
It does seem like Godzilla finally accepts Kong as an ally. If they make a third Kong and Godzilla buddy film, hopefully they can skip right to the team up.
IDK, I don't hate it, in fact I rather enjoyed the movie overall, but it's not the best Monsterverse film ever, just decidedly okay.

Surprised there isn't more activity on this movie.
Saw it last night. Gave me exactly what I look for in movies like this kenetic easy to follow giant monster fights, with the human story being just enough to stitch those fights together.

Just saw Minus One.
I usually roll my eyes at the lowest common denominator of human relatability but, gosh darn, it still got me. It always gets me in the end, gosh darn.
It's been hyped as super awesome so I'm semi grudgingly going with minus the super on it. But I'll still capitalize it as AWESOME! Watch it watch it!
Somehow, the first scene was more terrifying that the others. Cuz of the size and proximity?

Have to ask but where has Godzilla and King Kong canonical actually eaten a person?

King Kong chewed on a few people in his very first movie, both when he busts through the wall on Skull Island, and when he rampages in New York. Not sure if he truly eats anyone, but he definitely bites them.
I don't know that the movies really show it, but in the novella of the first Godzilla movie, Godzilla is stalking and eating people on Odo Island when he first appears.

I absolutely love the idea of Godzilla sneaking up on someone.
We have some covers and solicitations for a couple of the Godzilla vs Marvel one-shots!
I feel like Spider-Man is pretty well outmatched here. But, the possibility of a Venom-Godzilla has me intrigued. We better get that!
Hulk, on the other hand, could actually put up a pretty decent fight. Since both Godzilla and Hulk have various levels of "radiation-absorption" powers, there could be some decent back and forth, both of them getting pushed to their limits. Maybe. I feel like Hulk actually has the edge on this one, since he has more planet-shattering feats. But, if they bring in a little bit of Godzilla's "Planet of the Monsters" powers, Godzilla may be able to take this one. The entire planet might end up getting destroyed, though.
Godzilla Vs Hulk & Godzilla Vs Spider-Man From Marvel in April 2025
Gerry Duggan and Giuseppe Camuncoli’s Godzilla Vs Hulk and Joe Kelly and Nick Bradshaw’s Godzilla Vs Spider-Man, arrive in April.

The funny thing is, Godzilla was once part of the Marvel Universe. Fought the Fantastic Four and The Champions, and the West Coast Avengers, and SHIELD, but then when Marvel lost the license, Godzilla was 'mutated' by Dr Demonicus and wound up crossing paths with Iron Man.
The cover for Godzilla vs Hulk is giving me serious Shin Godzilla vibes, but looks more like MosuGoji or MegaloGoji in design.
Given the solicitations, I kind of wonder if they're setting these stories in the "past" just so that they kind of continue on from where they left off with the Godzilla license all those years ago. They might be specifically referencing their old Godzilla run, just by virtue of setting these in the past. Maybe.
And actually, it'd be kind of neat if Godzilla mutated into a few different designs as the fight with the Hulk went on. As Godzilla absorbs more of the Hulk's radiation and it causes mutations. Starting with his more "kid friendly" 70s design, then turning into his more serious 90s design, and ending off by going full Shin. You could actually do the same thing with the Hulk and all his various changes throughout comics history. Going from "Green", to "Grey", to "Kluh" or "Maestro" or "Titan" or "Devil" Hulk. You could have Godzilla Earth versus Cosmic Immortal Hulk for the finale. I'm expecting too much out of this Hulk fight, but it would be neat if they did that.

New Toys! Tiamat has actually been out for a while, but One-Eye and Drownviper have only just started showing up. Oddly, while I have One-Eye in the GxK: New Empire packaging, I've also seen him in the Monsterverse packaging that Drownviper comes in. Maybe this means some Monsterverse Titans from other shows will be incoming soon?
