JurassicKaiju14 ill admit im wrong about the date. however ya i thing the Big G is going to take a beating from kong, cause let's face it Godzilla heals very fast. however eventually Godzilla will be fed up with kong and start hitting back when that happens kong is going to get very badly hurt very fast.

IamNobody "I should state i view Godzilla King of the monsters happening in around 2018 and not 2019."

It doesn't. It takes place in 2019, five years after the events of 2014. It even says 2014 in the opening San Francisco scene. The film says five years have passed since then. Thus, 2019.

I should state i view Godzilla King of the monsters happening in around 2018 and not 2019. however i will admit I may be off by one year i am dyslexic so I'm not the best with numbers. however, I do not feel that 2 years is enough to fully build that particular monster unless he was a Hollow earth creation. so we would be seeing him in his incomplete form if he is used. 

I also feel kong has PTSD and its not much of a stretch eather given his tragic past. so he will likely attack on-site any titan that sets foot on his island.  so because of this, he is going to be very aggressive. they're going to have a big fight in the film, however honestly I do not see kong wining as kong cant really take the same level of beating Godzilla can, but i do not see Godzilla killing kong.

I actually have the 2002 Godzilla. I also have the re-released 2002 Kiryu with the additional Absolute Zero and battle damaged parts.

I'd probably put in Anguirus. Since he seemed to be teased in Godzilla's undersea lair, I would theorize that there was, in fact, a monsterverse Anguirus, but there is one thing wrong with this theory: How did he die? Did he die many years ago? And to who, or what did he die to? Anyhoo, I would expect that he would have the same symbiotic relationship that Godzilla has with Mothra in KOTM. 

I think that Biollante is pretty desirable, because she goes for $1,449.98 on Amazon.

I personally haven't found the comics that great but both novelizations are better than their movie counterparts. KoTM is the stronger of the 2 imo as it's more an expansion on the story and characters whereas 2014 has a lot of differences with the film.

I am somewhat biased though as I was a fan of the author Greg Keyes due to his work with the star wars njo series.

The KOTM artbook is great. Godzilla: Aftershock is alright, I suppose.

The KOTM novelization is a mixed bag, in my opinion. On the one hand, it offers a greater insight into the minds of the characters (which is always a highlight of novelizations, IMO), and adds a few additional scenes and even a few new Titans. But on the other hand, the fight scenes felt kind of skimpy to me, even more so than the film proper.

Seems like a good opportunity to post this here: https://www.change.org/p/bandai-japan-make-an-s-h-monsterarts-muto-figure

KingSalomonMMIV Godzilla vs Kong has no place in the Monsterverse if it doesn't develop / carry the story

Yup.

sometime in November

when this will release ?

Awesome. Source?

1, 3, & 5 are my favorites.

n0ice, very comic book-like.

JurassicKaiju14  Thanks. I only saw MUTO in G14. 

dk That's...how MUTO Prime looked in the source material.

Too colorful. Hard pass.

Wow.

Toy companies! Why u no good MUTO figures?

I'm not too terribly keen on the idea of Godzilla fighting Kong. I don't hate the idea, but up until now, I just didn't think it was necessary. I'm not really interested in it as just a straight-up brawl. I'm more interested in how it fits into the MonsterVerse's overall story, and how it carries the universe forward.

I 1000% agree. Godzilla vs Kong has no place in the Monsterverse if it doesn't develope / carry the story (but I do love the idea of Godzilla and Kong fighting).

Well, this is the movie we're getting, and this is just me trying to brainstorm how to plausibly fit it into the movie's narrative, and the greater MonsterVerse story arc as a whole.

I actually kind of have the opposite opinion. I'm not too terribly keen on the idea of Godzilla fighting Kong. I don't hate the idea, but up until now, I just didn't think it was necessary. I'm not really interested in it as just a straight-up brawl. I'm more interested in how it fits into the MonsterVerse's overall story, and how it carries the universe forward. I maintain that this film's conflicts will be partially a result of what has gone down in KOTM, and the aftershock of all of that.

But who knows, maybe the movie will surprise me and I'll actually be on the edge of my seat more than I expect to be during their fights (fingers crossed).

October 20 would leave 18 days for Venom 2 and 16 days for Godzilla vs Kong before the Eternals for frontload audiences.

I really like your setup for Mechagodzilla, a man made alpha titan used to control the monsters to do our bidding, and that's how I think it will be in the film. This is something I would love to see in another Monsterverse movie, but I don't think Mechagodzilla in general will work within GvK.

I do like your idea, but in a movie titled "Godzilla vs Kong," I would like the movie to live up to that title, with the entire plot revolving around Godzilla and Kong's feud. A subplot concerning a machanical kaiju who becomes the main antoganist towards the end would take away from the concept of cinema's most iconic monsters battling each other (and I just overall don't fancy the idea of a team up). 

Ultimately, I would never ever put Mechagodzilla in my film if I were making GvK, but perhaps the makers have found a way to fit him in without creating a messy, bumpy subplot (fingers crossed).

Don't get me wrong, this is a great idea, but I would like to see it in another film, not GvK. 

in all honesty I hope they all do well, I’m rooting for GvK like the rest of ya, just thought this be funny.

@Jurassickaiju14

lol that’s pretty funny

GvK can't keep running away from the competition. I thought late November was a mistake from the very beginning, but its set now and I don't see it moving again. I think this move will hurt Bond more than GvK simply because Bond would have crushed in April.

Lol. Sure, why not?

1. so far, the only movie competing within the same time frame and the same general audience is james bond. Raya is more for younger families, whereas GvK and bond are more geared for teens and adults. eternals, while most likely going to be a success, is not likely to majorly impact anything more than two weeks after it's release.

2. The marketing for GvK can definitely turn this around. WB seems to be putting a lot of stock into the film and it's marketing, has a new expert on board that helped market the marvel movies, and WB has probably wisened up after their overcockiness in may/june with KOTM. Plus, GvK more than any other film can milk off of the US Presidential Election, which will definitely help it go mainstream

Such a shame I was looking forward to No Time to Die next month so much but I understand the reasoning behind the delay.

 Also it's amusing to see two of the longest running franchises, Godzilla and Bond,  sharing the same release month. I'm not sure that's happened before but again, amusing.  I've also found the two had very similar trajectories in their evolution and became very reflective of their eras.

Godzilla vs Kong was going to face an uphill battle regardless of what was placed around it, mostly because of expectations that come from the title alone. Even if it still had the March date the virus situation might have done considerable damage to it so if they decide to move GvK again I'll understand. 

I hope it turns out well for both films and i will be there day 1 for both. 

In the meantime, take care of yourselves people and stay safe.

I was very young and always a fan of dinosaurs and big reptiles and such. I don't know exactly when I was exposed or what the crystallizing moment was, but I that around 4-5 years old I was watching the Hanna-Barbera cartoon on Cartoon Network, the movies on Disney Channel* (mostly during their Triple-Feature Fridays; my Mom recorded a couple of those nights on VHS so we could watch them anytime, I particularly remember watching the Ghidorah triple of Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster, Monster Zero, and Godzilla vs Gigan), and a cheap knockoff Godzilla toy my Nana got me thinking it was a dinosaur toy. It's become family legend that I opened it (it was a birthday or Christmas gift) and when she said "I hope you like your new dinosaur," I put my hands on my hips and said "Nana, that's not a dinosaur - it's Godzilla!" I still have that toy.

With all of that, I think becoming a fan was inevitable. Now I have a room full of amazing kaiju swag and no money XD

*I'm pretty sure it was Disney. It might have been ABC or TNT, though. I was 4-5ish.

^

Oh, for f*ck's sake, and how could we know if there'll be anything to give it a similar level of competition in early 2021?

G fans will get pretty upset over this, whether it be the movie bombing at the box office or getting pushed back to 2021 due to NTtD (and there's a 99% chance that one of those will happen). This could be New Mutants all over again, lol. 

Oh, well.

It'll have to move again for there to be a prayer of breaking even.
