Why is Godzilla fighting Kong again?

[Marc_G]

Hi folks,

I'm a longtime Kaiju movie fan and have often as a child wanted to grow up to be the guy in the Godzilla suit smashing the balsa wood models. Of course now I prefer to reserve balsa for rockets.

Anyway, with all the recent Godzilla movies (and, the recent Apple TV series Monarch), I've gotten confused.

Not too many years ago, like 2021 maybe there was a movie where Godzilla fought King Kong. Kong had a big axe with one of Godzilla's spine spikes or something. Anyway, if memory serves they team up against an incarnation of Mechagodzilla.

So why are Godzilla and Kong fighting again? Is this a continuation of the 2021 movie or a different universe? I get so confused with movies these days that don't seem to adhere to canon.

Also I thought Godzilla was elected head monster in 2019. If kong gets rowdy, don't the other monsters have to back him up?

Is the story in current time, or the past?

No. That may have been the way it was then, but it's not the way it was now.



(I take no credit. Our house revisionist said something like that, decades ago.)

You are trying to rationalize what a kaiju's thought process is? My cats sleep together and then 5 minutes later are in a furball fight...

Apparently, I am not the first person to think of this:

Right. And whatever happened to Gamera?

Remember when Gamera played Zigra's spinal flukes like a xylophone?

I thought they were friends in the current movie. I was told there's a lot of them hanging around being bros in this one.

I don't go to theaters anymore so will have to wait for the minus one and new long films to eventually get to streaming.

My wife and I got our Owlkitty t-shirts a few days ago. I also bought an Owlkitty sticker and I am putting it on one of my high-power rockets. I think the best Owlkitty video is the Top Gun one. Jurassic Park and Home Alone are good also.

There are few movies worth watching today.

This one is called Godzilla x Kong. The “x” indicates that Godzilla and Kong are now in a romantic relationship, and most of the fights are petty lovers’ quarrels over silly misunderstandings that get completely blown out of proportion and result in the total destruction of some of the world’s major cities, as usual.

the X-rated version might be really interesting to see those two get together seems kind of impossible, but being fiction they'd find some way to do it

This one is the latest in the Monsterverse universe with the Hollow Earth realm where the kaiju originate and the Monarch organization that studies kaiju and attempts to protect humanity from them.

Godzilla XXX Kong? This comes under Rule 34 for sure.

Maybe not in the big theaters, but I'm sure if you dig hard enough you will find some. Maybe just on-line. People are still people, and some want to make art.

Well, there's not much art coming from Hollywood these days, just rehash, repeat, sequels, etc... But they make up for the lack of creativity with bad acting and CGI.

And, they tend to choose the worst movies to re-make.

If I was a Hollywood writer and the best I could do was a re-vamp of "Oscar Winning" Total Recall, I'd go back to playing on my phone.
