I don't think the final battle will take place on or over Skull Island. We know that there will be a battle in Hong Kong at some point, presumably later in the film.
Oh, the end battle will probably most deffinately be in Hong Kong. The first battle will probably be on Skull Island.
Calling it now, Skull Island gets destroyed or something like that, and it takes Godzilla and Kong's rivalry to new levels.
Ooh, I actually really like that theory!
KingSalomonMMIV "I probably should have clarified that I don't want Kong to kill off Godzilla."
I don't want either of them to die. Glad I'm not the only one with that sentiment.
"Kong is very protective over his island, and he may see Godzilla as a threat to it. Kong is the alpha on Skull Island, and Godzilla very well could change that, as it seems the skull crawlers and other creatures on the island will bow down to him now, not Kong."
I think that's going to be his motivation too.

Also, we must consider the stakes of the fight. What will the outcome be if one of them wins? Godzilla's the current Alpha Titan, so what will that mean if Kong bests him?
I was going to put something on that in here, but I kind of felt like it belonged in a different discussion (oh well).
I probably should have clarified that I don't want Kong to kill off Godzilla. Kong's motives might not be to become the new alpha titan of the earth. We haven't seen enough marketing to be sure, but Kong is very protective over his island, and he may see Godzilla as a threat to it. Kong is the alpha on Skull Island, and Godzilla very well could change that, as it seems the skull crawlers and other creatures on the island will bow down to him now, not Kong.
Like you said, Kong and Godzilla could see eye-to-eye and respect each other, but in order for that to happen, Kong might have to beat Godzilla to show him that the island is his home, and it belongs to him. If Kong killed him, the earth would be overrun by monsters, so I don't think it's likely that will happen.
...I see your point. But I still kinda want Godzilla to win this one. On a franchise-wide level, Kong already beat Godzilla back in 1962. I mean, I'm not going to go insane of Kong beats him, but I'd still prefer it if Goji won.
But at the end of the day, I think I just want to see the two of them come to respect each other as worthy opponents and fellow Alphas, no matter who wins. Like if Godzilla wins, Kong still put up a good fight and Godzilla is impressed, and if Kong wins, Godzilla is still impressed and leaves Kong alone out of respect. Something like that.
EDIT: Also, we must consider the stakes of the fight. What will the outcome be if one of them wins? Godzilla's the current Alpha Titan, so what will that mean if Kong bests him?
I don't care who wins. I just want both to end up coming away with a sense of respect for each other as worthy opponents and fellow Alphas.
Actually, I lied. I want Godzilla to win.
I don't mind it myself, but I'm not going to attempt to convince anyone it's a great game.
also it has been confirmed its not a draw
G. H. (Gman) I enjoyed it for what it was a pure and simple Godzilla Simulator
G. H. (Gman) I'm not a big gamer, but it seems to me that the one thing everybody really liked about the latest game were the models, because you see them almost everywhere in fan animations these days.
Gomi: Ninja Monster,
It just doesn't bother me at all. I prefer an all Godzilla line of this caliber and am grateful for it. If I want Titanosaurus or King Ghidorah, I'll just look for another line to grab'em.
"the newest one actually had a huge following in the fanbase."
I would say those who like the latest one are few and far between.
Yeah, I was a little on the fence if that was a hot take but I didn't know if the Unleashed crowd grew a little or the newest one actually had a huge following in the fanbase.
Yes, 100%
Something even more interesting would be a Lovecraftian-type Godzilla film.

"Godzilla Save The Earth is the best Godzilla game we've gotten."
that's a straight up fact
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I misunderstood the question.
That would be interesting.
G. H. (Gman): Actually they do supposedly have the rights to every iteration of Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah, but good luck ever seeing them make any of those. "Not popular enough" my foot.
True, and I am very grateful that there's and affordable line of well-articulated, fairly accurate Godzilla figures in the first place, that's a childhood dream come true.
The problem is that there aren't other lines of this caliber. Aside from SHMA, the only representation for the majority of my favorite kaiju are either immobile statues or barely poseable vinyl figures. NECA is pretty much my only avenue for the type of figures I like, and them refusing to branch out, especially after we got a taste of what that could be like with KOTM, is what frustrates me.
I forgot some so I guess this is round 2.
Legendary Godzilla's design isn't anything special
Ghidorah, Mothra, MechaGodzilla and to some degree Rodan should go on a long hiatus from appearing in a G movie again.
Kong Skull Island is the best movie in the Monsterverse so far
Godzilla vs Mothra 92 is an underrated Heisei movie.
Godzilla Save The Earth is the best Godzilla game we've gotten.
I don't mind the monsterverse ending with Godzilla vs Kong
The anime trilogy was probably the biggest wasted potential I've seen in the series.
Also, some new hot takes of my own.
-Reijiro Koroku’s soundtrack for The Return of Godzilla is underrated.
-James Bannon's 1989 Godzilla 2 draft, featuring Godzilla facing an army of machines run by an advanced supercomputer, actually sounds like a really cool idea.
-Speaking of machines, Berserk should have been the Heisei Mechagodzilla. He would've been a lot more interesting than what we got...
G. H. (Gman) Not even gonna try to debate the MonsterVerse stuff. That's all water under the bridge at this point.
"- G'98 is a cringe inducing example of bad 1990s filmmaking tossed in a blender, "Godzilla" in the title or not."
It's funny. For the longest time, I never really liked it when people applied the term "cringe" to movies. I just like the term was never truly felt like it was applicable to cinematic entertainment (outside of maybe something really gory), and that it was just the product of an extremely passionate movie culture.
Then I actually saw 1998, and I suddenly got it.
"- Scientific accuracy has no place in this genre."
This is fact.
Gomi: Ninja Monster,
They don't have the rights to other monsters (apart from what they put out from King of the Monsters.)
Which I'm fine with. I love having a long line of Godzillas on my shelf evolving from the original to the present and I hope we get even more. This has never really happened before and I'm glad there's at least one line with this kind of dedication to it.
There's plenty of other lines with other monsters, taking away from the possibility of other Godzilla designs. So I'm more than content with this--In fact I'm grateful it's happening.
Might as well. Though I figure I rattle these these off all the time:
- There's only been 2-3 truly good Godzilla movies since 1989.
- All Monsters Attack is better than all of the 1990s movies.
- The Monsterverse has evolved into a by-the-numbers missed opportunity that does nothing new with the franchise.
- King of the Monsters '19 is a bottom 10 Godzilla flick.
- Monsterverse Godzilla makes a better Gamera than Godzilla.
- G'98 is a cringe inducing example of bad 1990s filmmaking tossed in a blender, "Godzilla" in the title or not.
- Outside of Honda, Fukuda was the best and, more directly, most resourceful director of the franchise.
- Rodan is a fine film, but overrated.
- On the flip side, Giant Monster Varan is incredibly underrated.
- No kaiju film has been as good as Gamera 3: The Revenge of Iris since it was released.
- Scientific accuracy has no place in this genre.
- The Anime Trilogy isn't too shabby and is easier to rewatch than the Monsterverse or the 1990s flicks.
- Pacific Rim is the best giant monster movie Legendary has released.
- Tsuburaya Productions, and their Ultraman output, is the most creative example of the genre this era. ("Era" being a fairly broad term, so we'll say over the last decade.)
G. H. (Gman): Really? Don't get me wrong, I love getting lots of different Godzillas, but it's driving me nuts that they won't branch out into other TOHO kaiju. I can only put so many Godzilla figures on my shelf before the lack of variety gets to me. I'd kill for an articulated Titanosaurus or Anguirus of this quality and price range, but the likelihood of that is sadly extremely low.
Resurgence "Orga is an underrated Kaiju"
Oh, I agree.
Xenotaris "Monsterverse is my favorite Godzilla continuity"
Same.
In Ike Broflovski's voice: Its mai tuurn!
I think Godzilla vs King Ghidorah is the worse Godzilla movie ever: Time Traveling plot that makes no sense, the weird Steven Spielberg reference, and that stupid flamboyant android-thingy
I like Godzilla 1998
Monsterverse is my favorite Godzilla continuity
Shin Godzilla makes a better Mock-Godzilla villain in vein of Space Godzilla, Biollante, Orga, and Mechagodzilla than a bonafide Godzilla
G98/Zilla could have been a good scientifically accurate Godzilla if they would have kept the traditional godzilla atomic breath and personality
From what I've gathered from other sites, this seems to be based off the suit from this film that they used for the water scenes, which was then retooled for GvKG, so the similarities make sense.
The 1998 Godzilla is better than people give it credit for and is by no means the worst in the series
Orga is an underrated Kaiju
Diggin' these. The NECA figures have a been a great alternative to Monsterarts for those of us unwilling to take out a second mortgage. I like that the line is primarily dedicated to just Godzilla designs. They're absolutely not perfect, (except for the '62 figure) but you can clearly tell which versions they represent. I for one think the '89 figure is a much better representation of the suit than their '94 figure. Looking forward to grabbing these.
1989 looks more like 1991 with the way the chest juts out.
My guess is that due to damage taken from the nuclear overload in the battle of Detroit, I assume that Godzilla’s spines are either damaged or destroyed by Kong or possibly MECHA Godzilla, and so Monarch create a rigged machine capable of storing radiation and using it at Godzilla’s will so he can combat his opponents, almost like he’s getting a prosthetic.
DUMMY THICC
I dunno, I still feel like the onscreen version looks less pudgy. I can't quite put my finger on it...
Like I said, I really don't think it is:
b=
It looks good detail wise but seems fat.
I honestly think that the toy itself reveals a really important spoiler of the movie because if you look at the images more closely you can see something that look like white dorsal plates beetween the blades/spines of the armor. Maybe Mechagodzilla destroys Godzilla's dorsal plates because he knows that if he destroys Godzilla's dorsal plates Godzilla can't shoot his atomic breath and then the humans help Godzilla by putting him an armor that helps him to regenerate faster or heal faster and then he regenerates his dorsal plates and that's why they're white and have a different shape.
Goji '89 lookin' good!
I REALLY want that kiryugoji figure now.
