I sure am glad Hollywood writers say "fuck all that" because that looks and sounds as uninteresting as all hell.

These are cinematic beasts, not scientifically accurate animals. Let monsters be monsters.

Yonggary2018,
November or December--And November's not even over yet...

Thank you, Chris!  I appreciate the assist.  I'll just keep all the updated art going through here so I don't bork that up again.

I doubt scaling up a gorilla to King Kong's size would turn it into what Witton created. We already have examples of apes reaching large sizes but maintaining their general structure--like Gigantopithecus. This is as Gojira said above me more akin to a Megatherium than a massive gorilla. I don't like this design at all.

Looks like one of those giant ground sloths from the ice age.

Brilliant fan art thanks for sharing! I'll move this topic to the fan art section for you. :)

So hope the new trailer comes out soon but...i thought it said this month was when a new trailer would be released.

Nice! Game of Thrones was great til they messed over my Dragon Vaserian. I want to see Emilia Clarke as Godzilla's avatar. Would love to see the Mother of Dragons working for the original alpha Dragon King!

No "argument" was intending to happen on my part. Just providing thoughts on what seems to make them evenly matched.

Thank you for watching! My next suit will be based on the Millennium Godzilla.

As Tarzan... this guy was great. I hope he brings that presence to KK vs G.

I'm only going to say this once... I will watch it... but to me it still looks utterly awful.

Okay, now your arguments don't even make sense anymore.

First of all, "kong is a monkey". no, he is an ape and what does that even have to do with anything. Mothra is a giant moth and she has beaten Godzilla in their first outing. Also, Kong is still growing and will probably be around 100m+ when he arrives in 2020.

And don't reply with something like "but that movie is part of another timeline", because you don't seem care anyway. you said Godzilla had already beaten Destoroyah, Mechagodzilla, etc. even though those movies don't take place in the Monsterverse and same goes with Kong and him being shot down on the empire state building. These events didn't take place in the new timeline.

"which only explains your level of intelligence". Really, that is your argument. That says nothing about our intelligence, that only says something about how unaccepting you are about our opinions. Why even create a topic on your opinion if you are not willing to listen and respect other people's opinions.

And then ending with saying that America has no idea on how to make a kaiju movie is just wrong. Many people (including me) loved the 2014 movie and even got introduced to the kaiju genre because of it. King of the monsters 2019 seems to be even better than 2014 so I think with the right people it doesn't matter what country makes a kaiju movie.

Also, just to top it all of, why are you presuming it will be bad when we know little to nothing about this movie. Anything could happen in a MOVIE. as many people have said already this is a fight between fictional monsters and anything can happen. Kong could even get his lighting powers back. You just have to wait till 2020 for the result.

I want The King of the Monsters's post engraved on my tombstone.

I'm always amazed by the hardcore Godzilla fanboy manchildren who come out of the woodwork to whine and complain about Godzilla fighting Kong in any capacity because they believe Kong can never compare to the strength of their all-powerful infallible lord. They still aren't over the movie from over 50 years ago and so can't accept the fact that Godzilla is being pitted against Kong again.

They're fictional characters, fictional characters who could never even remotely exist in the real world. The first film pitting them against each other was a huge hit, and people have been clamoring for them to fight ever since. Get over it. Just because you're insecure that your favorite fictional character isn't completely invincible because somehow the merit of the character is related to how powerful they are doesn't mean everyone else is. No one cares if Godzilla is supposedly more powerful than Kong, they just want to see them fight. The filmmakers are aware of this, and will undoubtedly make a film that justifies how Kong can hold his own against and possibly overcome Godzilla, just as they did in 1962.

I find it very amusing how outraged this vocal minority of fans are at the mere idea of Godzilla fighting Kong. And it's funny how all of them parrot the same barely intelligible "Godziller iz mor strong then stupid monky who die from planes. Godziller is invincible and haz atomic breath." Give me a break.

I mean, we're arguing about the plausibility of fictional characters stacking up against one another. I get that some fans have fun with fantasy battles and all, but questioning the viability of something like this is silly when it all comes down to how they're written in the screenplay.

They're not real. They can literally do anything the screenwriter/director dictates. Get over it people.

Eye-rolling?

This is the most eye rolling thread in awhile.

Godzilla and Kong are roughly equal in power so it shouldn't allow one monster to be over or underpowered against the other.

 How are Kong and Godzilla evenly matched???? First of all, they have to always change Kongs scale...no biggie...they always do that with Godzilla.   Godzilla defeated Destroyah, Mecha Godzilla, Hedora, Biollante, King Ghidorah, Space Godzilla, Orga, ....blah blah blah blah blah.. Kong's a MONKEY! 

He got killed on the Empire State Building by airplanes with machine guns!...It was ridiculous that Kong held his own in 1962...if this new movie doesn't correct that glaring error, it will suck...but we all already know what is going to happen.  Tell me I'm wrong....I hope I am...tell me I'm ignorant...which only explains your level of intelligence.... we will all find out when the movie comes out.  American movie makers have shown twice that they do not understand how to make a Kaiju film and most of all, the filmakers do not understand Godzilla or how to make a proper Godzilla film.

^If there was a quote option, it's the only reply we'd need.

"A mutated collection of sea-life"

Do people STILL believe that? I thought it had been nipped in the bud by now.

In almost all cases I wouldn't call Godzilla a dinosaur--Just some previously unclassified prehistoric creature.

The Showa Godzilla was said to be an evolutionary cross between land-going (dinosaurs) and sea-going prehistoric creatures. The Millennium Godzillas seem to have a similar origin based on their continuity.

The only one I'd say is truly a "dinosaur" is the Heisei Godzilla since he was a mutated from one.

Stupid is no option.... explain your ignorant comment....

Well Godzilla origins depends on the movie or continuity era.

Showa: A Radioactive Unnamed Dinosaur

Heisei: A Mutated Radioactive Godzillasaurus Dinosaur

Tri-Star: A radioactive mutated Marine Iguana Lizard.

Millennium: A radioactive Dinosaur or Vengeful fusion of WWII Imperial Japanese sailor spirits.

Monsterverse: A Radioactive Dinosauromorph 

Shin-Godzilla: A mutated collection of sea-life and possibly a human?

Anime: A Plant or a Plant-based lifeform.

Rip 

Makes me more hyped for the film. How is Godzilla Earth going to fight against an opponent he can't touch and who can deflect his Atomic Breath?

Gotta say, you did a pretty good job on the suit from what I can see.

Man, Ghidorah is just pooping all over Godzilla Earth.

He is not taking ANY of his crap! I guess the God of Void truly is worthy of the name.

Honestly I love it

I made all the suits, directed and was prop supervisor/production worker for Wisconsin Godzilla.

Awesome! He better survive the oxygen destroyer and break alot of buildings! I re-edited my Godzilla 56 so the oxygen destroyer provokes the attack on Tokyo after the sea disasters and he never dies. I volunteer to direct this short film and play Godzilla. I will stomp Tokyo wearing that sweet suit. check out my Wisconsin Godzilla on YouTube. I got xp. -Omar Sayyah

Of course, we never learned how exactly he accomplished this. The films never really provided onscreen feats or dialogue to support this notion, so I appreciate that Ghidorah controlling gravity like a black hole in this version makes it tangible and usable in discussion.

^It was more than vague. They said in the original film, Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster, that he destroyed Venus (in sub. Mars in dub). 

Also, he does actually have a true body.

Presumably, it's in the void and he just uses astral projections of his heads and necks to do the dirty work. Whether this astral form is what destroyed Exifcalus or if it was his true body is unknown, though.

You know, I kinda like how Ghidorah here is a legitimate confirmed planet destroyer. Basically making the vague allusions in the Showa era the definitive standard.

@charlieghidorah

You're obviously very young and/or a new fan.  The original King Kong vs. Godzilla is one of the most beloved installments of the Godzilla franchise and also one of the most financially successful movies in Japanese box office history.  It's absolutely fantastic to have the chance again to see the two granddads of the kaiju genre back again to fight in an updated bout. 

Wait for the freaking movie to come out before you bash it and judge it, there's absolutely no sense in doing otherwise, especially if you call yourself a fan.

DarthRaptor97,
He only has three heads here.

I feel like that this version of King Ghidorah is stupid. It's not even a dragon. It's just a flying snakes or something and last i check, King Ghidorah has three heads, not more.

I would have to disagree. Godzilla and Kong are quite equally matched in my opinion.

Godzilla might have better armor, more battle experience and the atomic breath, but Kong has the speed, physical strength and intelligence to back it up. Off course I am for team Godzilla, but I am not saying that because Kong has no chance at winning.

Also, this doesn't mean Kong would have to be more powerful than Ghidorah to have a chance. We have to remember that Godzilla will likely have to fight Ghidorah with Mothra and (possibly) Rodan on his side. Alone Godzilla would not defeat Ghidorah, he still needs some help. If godzilla has to fight alone against Kong, Kong might have a bigger chance to win then you think.

Yesssssss, Scarlet Godzilla Earth retuuuuuurns. I'm glad they're using that model once more. Loved it in City, so I'm glad it's not going to waste for one scene, only.

Little late, but pretty good. My only real issue is the inconsistency in the titling. Going from Japanese to English Americanizations. Like with Shin Godzilla and Shin Gojira. That, and the use of vignette. Also another thing I'd just make a bit more consistent is using a squared off vignette only, for example, over a mix of circular/squared off ones. But they look official and good. I would totally print these out for use, myself.
