We will support you both❤️ ❤️.. please react to The Raid Redemption and The Raid Berandal 🔥🔥 please please please
For a little context from the beginning, in case there's still confusion, the reason that monarch had Kong in containment was because Skull Island was being ravaged by a massive powerful storm left over from Ghidorah's reign. Monarch was originally on the island to monitor Kong and to learn more about hollow earth, and possible entrances.
On to Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
Hey @OfficialMediaKnights I loved your reaction to this movie and here's a interesting thing there was never a Kong vs Godzilla.godzilla was pissed off about the alpha and Kong was just in the way of the fight and the role of the alpha witch is interesting to think about
Can you guys do a reaction to Spartacus the TV series from STARZ? It’s only four seasons, but it’s really good. I think you guys will enjoy it.
Fun fact: When Mechagodzilla is getting charged by the hollow earth energy, you can faintly hear Ghidorah's screech, wich implies that the energy somehow gave Ghidorah new life in Mechagodzilla's body
Also, weird thing to consider, Mechagodzilla is controlled by Ghidora's right-head, AKA Kevin, which was the least aggressive one. Imagine how much worse this would have been had Godzilla ripped off any of Ghidora's other heads
Kevin was out for vengeance!
Ah, Kevin.
Bananaaaaaa!!!!
I've always assumed that the head in this film was the left one that Godzilla ripped off in KoTM, and which Jonah bought at the end. The left was the one that regrew and was kind of the nasty one.
But the rest of the heads were all burned away, so I didn't really get, why two heads were even mentioned in this movie.
51:39 They used alcohol to short out Mechagodzilla. Mechagodzilla is controlled by the brain of Ghidorah. And who was Ghidorah originally based of on? Yamata no Orochi, the eight-headed dragon in Japanese mythology who was defeated by getting it drunk on wine!
Kinda an obscure reference but it comes full circle quite nicely.
You just made that moment way more interesting than what the writers could ever come up with. Kudos ❤️
Still kinda silly that a billion dollar machine (probably) got wrecked due to few mls of alcohol.
You saved that shit for me
@@johnhalo-ug4go drunken the machine
@@johnhalo-ug4go Honestly, it shouldn't have. There's no reason why a little bit of liquid getting into one component of a hugely complicated system would short out the entire system. It would just short out that specific console, at the most.
I don't understand how people don't understand just how powerful that Godzilla breath was, It Blasted a Hole to the Center of the Earth, cutting through Half the Planet.
I think people understand it’s powerful. But it’ll never stop being damn impressive!
not you guys specifically, just how the overall Godzilla community thinks he's weaker than other versions of Godzilla.
Great Reaction, I hope we get to see your Reaction to the GxK trailer before the film comes out@@OfficialMediaKnights
@@chillylagarto7728I understand it's power and to this day, I am still baffle because of it!!!
@@chillylagarto7728That one baffles me. When he fought Ghidorah he was super powered with the nuclear energy. When he burnt through to the centre of the Earth, he wasn't, which demonstrates he is getting way more powerful. He also didn't just fire the beam once in this movie, he fired it repeatedly and for extended periods and had he not just blown a hole to the centre of the Earth, Mecha Godzilla's beam might not have had the punch it did. Also he's a reptile so he grows larger and stronger with every year that passes.
He wasn't even close to blasting through the center of the earth 🤓🤡
He just dug to hollow earth
Centre of the earth is still kilometres of below
And Godzilla can never dig to centre of the earth not even in his dreams 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Godzilla/PLOTZILLA is just king of plot armours
I love how when Godzilla was fighting Kong, the beam was concentrated, showing that he was still good. But when he was fighting mechagodzilla, and he used his beam to charge the axe, the beam looked like it did in the original Godzilla. Similar to blue fire, showing that at this point he’s exhausted
never caught that wow
I mean it's just made up dude. Who knows if that's intentional @zy1an
@@Deimos2k5its just like in Godzilla 2014, his breath is like a flamethrower and doesn't do much damage but as he evolves through the years we see his breath get more concentrated meaning hes growing more powerful each movie
@eohansamuel4389 In 2014, his beam was also weakened by the MUTOs as they have an EMP effect on his energy
@@TheRealGabriel777the atomic breath of Gman was nerfed cause of the muto
Godzilla: KotM explained why he needs to assert being an alpha. Without him the titans go wild and would destroy the entire human race.
Yeah for him, he just wants to keep his territory balanced. I mean the whole earth is his territory so it just makes sense that he can sense threat from far away.

And the handle is a leg from a MUTO.
Fun facts: There was a 5 hour cut of this movie, but most of it was discarded, which probably feels strange at some points. The novel explains it a lot better, giving the characters more background and general info. For example, the pilot of MechaGodzilla, Ren Serizawa, is Doctor Serizawa’s son who wanted revenge against Godzilla because he felt his father loved Godzilla more than him.
Godzilla struggled a lot against MechaGodzilla because he had spent at least half of his energy, and his fight with Kong lasted 8 hours. The director stated that the fight would be closer if Godzilla was fresh.
8 hours ? For real ? like u r talking about the movie ?
@@thomasgiraldi2549 Yes, about 8 hours or so, according to the novelization of the movie. They were fighting at night till the morning
Such a waste to not have a scene where Ren and Madison have a debate over Godzilla
It's also implied that Ghidorah's will and mind fused with Ren Serizawa, or at least took over his body, because Ren's corpse was ultimately not found in the wreckage
Glad someone clarified this because yeah the pacing was a mess in the movie. Still a great monsterverse film when it comes to the action; but the human plot? eeh not so much
My dad before he died of lung cancer, used to watch the old Godzilla movies with me when I was little, his favorite was Godzilla vs Kong the old first one, I wish that he was alive now to see these new movies.
I'm sorry to hear about your dad
Rip
When Ghidorah rised and created powerful storms in the sky one of those storms invaded Skull island, making the island unhabbidable for life on the island, wiping out the villagers and the animals that lived in it, So Monarch builded the dome to protect Kong from the storm, they weren't stupidly locking up him for no reason.
They skimmed through that entire exposition while giving us Jia’s backstory when our favorite parts of these films is the lore. They could’ve and should’ve taken a minute to further explain the aftermath of Ghidorah.
If a titan like kong needs protection from a storm he is weak as shit. Where did you hear this from?
@@punkem733it’s stated in the novels bozo
@@fatbigmac49 Thanks cocksucker. Glad to know some nerd read a book on a shitty movie.
you would assume that but let's consider how that storm literally made Skull Island uninhabitable. ANY titan would need protection of some kind from having their home made that way@@punkem733
Fun fact: when kong shoves the axe handle in Godzillas mouth, its a reference to the original king Kong versus Godzilla where king kong shoves a tree in Godzillas mouth. Similarly, when they defibrillate kongs heart, its another reference to the original king kong versus Godzilla, where King Kong gets lightning powers for some reason.
The reason why Kong gained lightning powers at the end of that movie was because originally it was going to be an American film called "Frankenstein VS King Kong", where Kong would battle a giant Frankenstein's Monster made from body parts of large animals.
A script was made, however no studio in the U.S. was interested in making it into a movie. When Toho, the company that made Godzilla, saw the script, they instead purchased the rights to King Kong and made the 1962 film "King Kong VS Godzilla".
Supposedly Kong's lightning powers where a holdover from Frankenstein, who's usually the one depicted as being powered up by electricity/lightning.
The shot where they brought Kong with choppers is also a reference to KvG, but in the original they used fricking balloons
Mechagodzilla is sooo good in this. They way it moves, the strategic usage of rocket boosters to compensate for the lack of mechanical agility... it just works so well. They managed to make this massive robot fluid and quick in a way I didn't expect.
yes they did a great job of ripping off and reskining scenes of mechs from Pacific Rim and the Power Rangers movies.
@@marcelmoreau2733mechagodzilla has always been like this and has been around way longer than pacific rim and power rangers lol
@@marcelmoreau2733 You nerds will literally whine about anything won't you? What's it like going through life being allergic to enjoying anything?
@@zy1an the concept of giant mechs hs been round anad yes, long before Rim and Rangers, but the modern LOOK of Mechazilla and the style is more in line with the looks of mechs in Rim and rangers than just looking like a metal skinned robotic/cyborg godzilla. and I was not complaining. there was enough there to pay homage to the OG Mechazilla without being a blatant copy. but a lot of the look and feel of the movement nad fighting was more in line with what the mechs in Rim and rangers do then in just making a robozilla.
@@Barovian20 not saying i didn't enjoy it, just pointing out the obvious. i love pacific rim and really enjoyed the power rangers update. going with this look and feel for mecha was a better solution then trying to just copy godzilla with a metal skin and weapons.
i just remembered, this movie came out in 2021 and i went to watch it with my dad (he is old school doesn't know what VFX is)
he thought that these animals are actually trained animals who were fighting for the camera...and later he said something that made entire row laugh
"hey joel look this is how you and your brother use to fight eh" entire row laughed out crying... 😂
Wow you sound like you and your family have lots of fun at the theaters🤣🤣🤣
I heard the writers of Shrek were also involved here, giving the starting scene of Kong's morning routine.😂❤
That makes so much sense 😂
Oh my god i didn't know that 😂😂
They thought they could use Ghodora's power, but all they ended up doing was giving him a new body. And he was PISSED.
They specifically gave Kevin a new body (Kevin is Ghidorah’s left head, the dummier one of the three)
@@rithvikmuthyalapati9754All the heads were Ghidorah, so it's fair to say it was Ghidorah's new body. And I don't think it's fair to call the left head "dumb," it was just more curious and easily distracted.
@@rithvikmuthyalapati9754lol Kevin. Who gave it that name
The reason Kong was forced into a containment dome was due to Ghidorah. There was already storm surrounding Skull Island, but thanks to Ghidorah’s manipulation of earths atmosphere it made Skull Island a stormy mess uninhabitable for Kong 😢
I didn't know, I always though something else but thank you
It also stated that "a storm" killed off the islanders leaving the lil girl an orphan and the last of her people. So with that we can assume it was ghidorahs storm
Boohoo😂 was I supposed to cry?😂
@@sastaassh1112shut up rotten filth
There is also a comic where they talk about a giant bat like creature I think that killed the people I may be wrong
I love how Kong leads the battle away from Jia during the ocean battle, just shows how much he cares ❤
You may be right, but I was under the impression he wanted to get to the aircraft carrier for a platform big enough for him to stand and fight.
@@danieldickson8591maybe Kong was using one stone to kill 2 birds
The fact that Kong can communicate with sign language is cool
Some gorillas and monkeys communicate through sign language
The story was changed completely halfway through filming if not even near the end.
The Mech Pilot is Serizawa's son Ren and he had a bigger role, as did Monarch in the initial version that was nearly filmed and completed before major changes were done in the editing booth.
A lot of the human story was left on the cutting room floor in scenes that would have stitched what was left together more coherently.
There was at the very least twenty minutes of footage cut out of the film we did get.
This is the shortest movie in the franchise, and it wasn't 2014 that spooked them but instead KoTM (KoTM did the least box office) which the studio felt underperformed, thus causing them to make a movie that was shorter and big on the action that could get more screenings per day and bring in more dollars.
Did they released the cut versions somewhere?
Well that explains why some elements of the plot were so murky! Studio decisions studio decisions…
@@kychu749 No, Adam Wingard has said that the movie we got will be the only movie there is, when he was asked if there will would be a WingardCut of GvK. But if you search online and at youtube you will find a lot of the scenes either in early trailers and pictures in articles.
@@OfficialMediaKnights Lance Reddick's role was also much bigger than the barely a line and blink and you'll miss him scene that he has in the movie.
He was cast as the new Director of Monarch, and a scene with him in a Monarch board meeting with Dr. Lind, Ren Serizawa, Simmons and maybe Mark Russell was filmed.
There was supposed to be a theme of Fathers and their relationships with their offspring that was to run throughout the film.
Ren Serizawa's anger at his dad for never being home and prioritizing Godzilla above his family.
Simmons and his Daughter (Corporate Lady) in which we see he sacrificed her to gain what it is he wanted and finally the Russells where they finally come to terms with the mom's actions from the prior film and grow closer together. but all the loud critics said 'who cares about the people, the human element in a monster movie.' and the studios listened.
@@OfficialMediaKnightsTest audiences suck 😂, but honestly it just shows how badly studios are for money instead of making good movies and letting it gain from years of play
TEAM GODZILLA!!!
Hell yeah. And Godzilla definitely won.
(At 48:20) Godzilla did so much damage to Kong's chest, He slowly going into cardiac arrest.
In the Novel it's implied Ghidorah has taken over the body of Ren Serizawa and is now running around in human form. Which is something i'd love to see explored more.
After Minus One, I think we as a community could definitely appreciate a higher quality Human Element behind the story. So even though Minus One has less quantity of Godzilla, he is much More Impactful because of how much you Care about the Human characters in comparison to how the Humans were in this film.
Since Bryan Cranston and Ken Watanabe gave us deep, compelling characters in the previous Godzilla movies, which almost every viewer has called some of their best elements, it's clear such characters don't need to be excluded just because "it's only a giant monster movie."
with the new gxk trailers it seems like legendary is going all in on the showa era monster fight vibe while toho creates the more serious toned movies
@@monkeyman4346I suppose there's a place for both, but they don't have to be mutually exclusive.
Love the video. In light of the Mecha reveal Godzilla's actions are perfectly in line with his Monsterverse attitude. We might say "hey he's hurting innocents" but he's not concerned about that.
In 2014 He casually walks through & destroys a large bridge loaded with people, Sure he dodges the carrier earlier but not the destroyers behind it, He didn't dodge the ships when he stood up near the bridge. And even if he walked through the bridge because he was getting shot, my man needed to get on the other side of it anyway! And he stood up not near the shoreline but at in the water near ships. He was clearly going to go through the bridge. He either didn't know it was there when standing up or knew & planned to go through anyway. We see via King's flashbacks innocent people died due to him in his fight with the MUTO's. He's not concerned with individual human life. If he cares about us at all it's as a greater whole. There's other examples of him attacking humans in the expanded lore. Pirates & military alike. But to say it's inconsistent for Godzilla to kill when he senses a threat is misguided.
As far as his actions towards Kong,. First things first, the G-Man is old, like OLD OLD, 252 MILLION with a M years old matter fact. Kong was born in 1933 in the MonsterVerse. So he's a damn BABY by comparison to Godzilla. Godzilla is so old he remembers the old Titan ruled earth. He remembers the wars between his species & the Kong's. He lived in the time of Dagon (another member of G's race who we saw as a skeleton in 2014) & likely remembers Dagon. To him, Kong is nothing more than a little child. One who's been sheltered on Skull Island & needs to learn the pecking order. Godzilla is the head of the monsters. Hell, G's second movie is literally titled King of The Monsters. It's completely within character that Godzilla would want Kong to obey the chain of command.
In that expanded lore i mentioned (which i don't expect y'all to read from, it is fun though) we see that after the events of KoTM Godzilla orders ALL Titans to go back to sleep. And goes on an ass whooping tour against all that disobey. He asserts command over all the Titans. Who are ALL way older than Kong. Literally EVERY Titan seen in KoTM is millions of years old. Behemoth (The giant Mammoth looking Titan) was seen in Godzilla's flashbacks of the old earth millions of years ago in the comics. Kong & even the Skullcrawlers are young as shit by comparison to these older Titans. And all the surviving Old ones now generally obey Godzilla after the death of King Ghidorah. So again, makes total since that Godzilla would force Kong to obey his authority.
Now where I do agree is the human side of things. My thoughts have always been that if Millie's character was paired with her dad instead of a random friend it would've been better. Have the Dad lead Monarch & work with his Daughter to figure out what's wrong with Godzilla. We already know his character & he learned to accept Godzilla in the end so it'd make since for him to try investigating things too. I never liked how little he was in this movie. Remove the entire friend character, connect the Dad & daughter & have Brian Tyree Henry's character join them to figure things out. Or cut him out too either way.
On the kong side make the daughter of the villain either more commanding & threatening or make her a double agent, make her seem nice & supportive so the audience likes her then bam hit us with the villain reveal. Give Ren Serizawa more screen time he's the damn son of Ken Watanabe's character & we barely get to meet him. Other than those things I liked the humans.
As others pointed out the Studio cut like 23 minutes of footage that could've beefed the plot a bit. Wish we got a directors cut or something.
Fucking GREAT reaction guys!!! I hope y'all watch the Skull Island animated show & then the Monarch TV show!!!!! Both were fun to me, the Monarch show being GREAT. So hyped for New Empire. I'm sad that only 3 characters return all 3 of which were introduced in this movie. That kind of sucks. But still looking forward the the Skar King & all that he entails.
Love reading comments like this! Thanks for sharing some insight on some of the lore that is present in the novels that tie in with these films. A lot of our comments towards Godzilla and how he was depicted in a strange manner were misguided once the film reveals the why. It’s like oh…ok yeah they brought your biggest foe yet back to life unknowingly and finally succeeded in doing so when they brought energy from hollow earth. No wonder he’s pissed!
Also I’m curious to see what the dynamic is gonna be with Godzilla and Kong moving forward. Is this a strong alliance now or one that could go either way any second? We would’ve loved to see those 23 min they cut. Had no idea that was Serizawa! And that is a huge detail to not linger on for a bit.
Thank you so much for watching! We hope GxK is amazing and continues to satisfy the fan base 😄
@@OfficialMediaKnights HELL YEAH!!! Awesome to see a reply!!! Thanks for reading love the reactions!!!!
@@OfficialMediaKnights Guys... Godzilla isn't the villain. I really wished you guys didn't just call him that because you literally watched two movies where he's the protagonist. You even picked up on the fact that he was being purposefully agitated but you guys STILL called him a bad guy?
So many people who have made reactions to this film have jumped on the same "godzilla bad guy" bandwagon despite watching the previous two movies seeing him as the protagonist... I was hoping you two wouldn't fall in the same bandwagon
@FrostbiteDigital I think saying he's coming across as the "Bad guy" is totally acceptable without the context that he's irritated by something else out there. We did say he was acting more like a bad guy and also were the first to say wait...there has to be a reason for it. After seeing Godzilla become so aggressive only when there was a huge imbalance we were trying to figure out why that APEX base was the culprit. Obviously they leave that key information until the third act. Whoever doesn't know the piece key of information that Apex had kept Ghidora's head and was building Mechagodzilla would be under the same assumptions asking the same relevant questions. Why is he behaving this way? Why would he do such a thing when he's known for this instead etc.
@@OfficialMediaKnights Alright you know what? You're right, you did end up acknowledging that. I do apologize if I came off rather stingy or abrasive. It's just, I've seen so many reactors that jump on that bandwagon of "godzilla is the bad guy" even AFTER it was revealed why he was angry. Even worse is that I've seen posts on Reddit and etc. saying that Godzilla's behaviour in this film has always been his persona which I'm sure you know just as well as I do that isn't true. It's like people have forgotten that he was benevolent in 2014 and KOTM for some reason. I don't know about how you guys feel about this but it's doing my head in. I know Kong is super awesome and all but I feel like people were way to eager to drop Godzilla as a heroic character despite the past two Godzilla entries were he was exactly that, especially with the new GxK trailers.
I just wish people knew that Godzilla is still a benevolent Titan like he was in the previous films. It's really our fault for antagonizing him and making him angry.
That little girl was such a good actor
More personality than the rest of the cast, and with no lines.
I loved how hyped you got when you realised it was MechaGodzilla. Hearing that he was in this was what made me want to see it but I wish I'd seen it in the cinema instead of at home
It was beyond epic in IMAX
Something to keep in mind, this whole series was originally only meant to be four films. This was the last movie. So they had to put MechaGodzilla in this one. They have only decided to continue the series, because the movie made a lot of money.
They figured out the formula with King of the Monsters. More Monster fights less people drama
@@sugarbomb1346I believe this film over-corrected in the opposite direction, as far as making a quality movie by most standards; but it was also the most profitable, so I'm afraid the trend will continue. OTOH Godzilla Minus One changed up the formula and has garnered near-universal praise, so maybe a balance might be truck in future.
Mechagodzilla was the last of the Toho Studios iconic kaiju to be translated to the Monsterverse.
You also gotta remember that 2020 Covid had a Hand in putting Almost every film on the Back Burner for an Entire Year! So when March rolled around in 2021! It was a Breath of Fresh Air! Literally!
And the First New Legit movie That came out in Theaters and on HBO Max was this Very Movie! Needless to say, after a Near Draught! This was the Movie to help save us from going stir Crazy. That and RUclips.
Its harder to do good written characters than do monster fights :D, let toho do serious godzillas and keep monsterverse action movie@@danieldickson8591
In the original Toho movies there were two Godzilla movies and one Kong movie leading up to Godzilla versus King Kong. In the monster verse films there were two Godzilla movies and one Kong movie that led up to Kong versus Godzilla. There are a lot of elements from the original Toho movies Incorporated in the monster verse films. Kong wrapped up in change Kong versus the giant squid the oxygen destroyer that originally killed the 1954 Godzilla monster zero AKA King Ghidorah. Even the scene where Kong is being carried by the helicopters is a homage to kong being carried by balloons in the original King Kong versus Godzilla film.
I loved that, intentional or not, Kong stuffing his axe into Godzilla's mouth mirrored the original when Kong tried to throat Godzilla with a tree
Small correction, but there wasn’t a King Kong film Toho made leading up to this, since King Kong Escapes, their other Kong film, came out after King Kong vs. Godzilla.
I did not count King Kong versus Godzilla as the second film in the King Kong franchise because it was a co star like alien versus predator or avengers film. I didn't count son of Kong as the 2 film either.
The original King Kong versus Godzilla on VHS when I was a kid back in the 80s holy crap that VHS got so much play I don't even know what to say about it like I melted that thing I played it so much all the way up until like I think the last time I watched it was 2005
Wrong. There wasn't any Kong film 'leading' up to King Kong vs Godzilla. There was King Kong Escapes, but it was made after and unrelated to the Godzilla franchise. And Gojira 1954 and Godzilla raids again had no idea they were going to land King Kong rights. It was secured because there wasn't any confidence in continuing the Godzilla franchise before that. It was basically a standalone film of circumstances coming together.
The fact that kong got godzilla crawling proves how much a formidable opponent he is
‘Kongfrontation’ use to be a ride at Universal Studios Florida
Depth charges are not a system for dealing with Godzilla, they are a common weapon used for the past 100 years against submarines and scuba bombers.
Many of the reactions I've seen to this movie don't know what depth charges are. I always think the same thing...they've been around a long time.
@@blueeyedcowboy8291Maybe that's the problem. Most of these reactors have not been around a long time. 😉 There are different cultural emphases these days, and some information people were commonly exposed to in the past, is not so common today.
23:23 - actually, Godzilla attack the Apex ships and accidently clash with Kong. but people think Godzilla attack Kong.
I didn't even think of that..
Godzilla was probably coming for the ships and like, "Is that a monkey? "
it's kinda like padme and anakin and he turns and see's obi wan x'D YOU BROUGHT HIM HERE TO KILL ME lmao.
Nah, he knew he was there, why else would he attack?
There was nothing of Apex's there...
@@maxTheTimeSlasheror Godzilla be like "why is Kong doing with the Apex, anywy?"
Apparently in one of the comics that leads up to Kong vs Godzilla, Godzilla once lost his lair to one of Kong's species and had been nursing a grudge against them since then. When he found out that individual had long since died due to different circumstances, Godzilla sensed Kong and decided to go after him to settle the grudge
They cut a lot out of the original cut of GvK because test crowds complained it was too long and once again they hated the human characters. Godzilla's side of the story and lore about the feud between G and K's species was cut out. Most people don't realize that the pilot of MG was Dr Serizawa's son. He hated Godzilla because his father was all about Godzilla and Monarch. They cut finding the crushed ship that had the guy's brother die in. Mark Russel was little more than a cameo. I hope you start Monarch Legacy of Monsters. It's tone is closer to the 2014 film. It takes place in the 50's and just after the 1st movie. If you haven't reacted to the 1st & 2nd trailer for Godzilla x Kong, I'd love to see that!
I was about to say, test audiences are the worst sometimes
@@gideonkok2071let's just hope godzilla x kong has alot more in it, I want more lore about the monsters and just everything more, JUST GIVE ME MORE DAMMIT
They really should stop listening to the test audience. So what if it's long? If it's good and there's a reason for it to be in the film then people will watch it! Never understood why people complain about length. It's about what you do with that runtime.
@@OfficialMediaKnightsAs you've pointed out in your reactions, people today have shorter attention spans. They're also probably accustomed to watching movies at home, where they can pause them at will to go to the bathroom, grab a snack, or talk on their 'phone.
Kong did the Mel Gibson/Lethal Weapon to his shoulder!! Yaass!!
Honestly this Channel has the best commentary I've ever encountered. Not just for one but for all movies they've reacted. ❤️❤️❤️
Agreed!!! They’re so gooood!!
Ari and Denise being film makers themselves, they bring a different eye than most reactors.
Love the ending. Jia and Kong are happy with The Hollies playing us out.
In short, kong lost both fights. The first environment was in godzillas favor easily, and the 2nd was technically kongs, since it was an urban city where he can use everything as a weapon. And yet godzilla won again. Its because Kong is still technically "young" and never fought another alpha predator that acutally knows how to fight back. Sure the skullcrawlers were a huge problem, but their nothing compared to godzilla whos been alive since time immemorial.
no the score was 2-1..... they had 3 fights LOL 1 in the water (unfair) and 2 on land. After Kong knocks godzilla out with the axe they even say "round 2 goes to Kong.
Kong defeated Camazots in Kingdom Kong, a global threat with power to plunge the world in a perpetual night.
@@DoomZzx The round isn't over if Godzilla gets back up though, it was just long round. When Godzilla got mad he went feral on Kong and Kong had no answer for the aggression . Big G literally stomps Kong into the ground and yells at Kong that he needs to stay down so Godzilla can go deal with the big threat he's been sensing. That threat was NOT Kong lol
King of the Monsters is still my favorite Monsterverse entry so far, wish we could get another installment of the Monsterverse directed by Michael Dougherty. I loved the emphasis in the monster action while still keeping an interesting human story going.
G vs K amplifies the action/fights ten-fold (which I love!) *but* the humans in it are so lacking! So much that every time the camera cuts to them it feels like a commercial in the middle of a fighting match. You just want it to get out of the way so you can continue watching the reason you're there lol
Binged your Monsterverse reactions and it's been so much fun, hyped for GxK! ✨️
Godzilla is the true king hands down
I am a huge Godzilla fan. All hail the true king of monsters. Also Godzilla won in this movie.
@@archiegrant2063”As long as you remember who’s boss around here lil N**ga, and don’t you forget it”
Both are kings, just for different reasons
@@malimaui2802 “Kong may be a king…”
“But what the fuck is a king… TO A GOD”
@@A_gun0Godzilla is not a god
The Reason why Mecha looked op was because both Godzilla and Kong were battered after their fight. Both of them could've destroyed Mecha singlehandedly from what the director said if they fought him alone at full strength.
I doubt Kong could have, but Godzilla might have the tools.
Godzilla could. The director didnt say anything about Kong beating Mecha. He lacks the durability unlike Godzilla.
@@blackwidow7804 i thought he said Both of them could be wrong.
And honestly I was being generous to Kong if it's true I don't see him beating mecha without G-man distracting mecha.
But the G-man could do it easily if he wanted with atomic pulse,whiplashes etc
@@danieldickson8591 no.... kong could the point of mecha godzilla was made to COUNTER GODZILLA..... thats the reason godzilla was getting his ass kicked the whole movie by him. You see when their fighting mecha focuses on godzilla the whole time and only went after Kong when kong got in his way. Then once the axe was charged up Kong obliterated mecha

Yay! I was introduced to your channel when I was sick, and still staying at the hospital. And now I’m feeling better, I watch your videos every day
Glad to hear you are feeling better! Thank you for watching these with us. It truly means the world ❤️
That whole night fight is just insane! The roars at each other is still my favorite part of the film! The sound design as Godzilla rears his head back and the reverb on the roar is so epic as he puts his foot on Kongs chest! Can't wait for The New Empire! 💀🤘🔥
The problem my friend said to me after we watched this movie the first time was that Kong had a character, but Godzilla was a plot device. Godzilla became this one-dimensional thing that ran around fighting and looking cool when we had two movies where it was clear he had motivations, intentions and a personality. He is stoic, sure, but he has feelings and thoughts much as Kong does. But for the sake of the movie to happen the filmmaker, Wingard, and the soundtrack decide to try and force this 'evil' theme onto Godzilla when we all know, the audience knows, you all saw it too, that's BS and contradicts his whole character. Thus it makes any action taken by Godzilla viewed as bad by the people to seem redundant because we the audience know he's acting out of character because of something in-universe.
As well, the human characters were tonally all over the place. I am one of those people who will genuinely debate someone in good faith that KOTM had good monster action and more than fine/competent human drama and acting. People act like GvK was a step up but it's blinders from the fighting which is more held on (though less weighted in my opinion) than movies before. MBB, or Madison had any character stripped from her. Bernie was a very unnecessary character, Josh, her friend, literally had no reason to exist in the movie as we got it. Mark Russel was WHOLLY wasted. Literally a cut-away caricature of his character from the last movie.
Kong's team had the most depth, but even that was surface level. In fact Jia was the most personable of them all and it's because she has a more personal relationship to Kong.
I am still looking forward to GxK, and I do hope WIngard...learned from his past mistakes. But, I just don't hold him in high regard. He did make the 2016 Blair Witch and live action Death Note so...yeah. Lol. GvK is the least liked of all the Monsterverse for me. I STILL really do enjoy the movie, but I will watch KOTM any time, GvK when the occasion calls for it.
Sorry for the long ramble. :p
I agree with everything said here👍
@@DerriousGamezyeah what this guy said 🤣
@@KonohazFinest lol
Meh.......
Godzilla has intentions and personality in this movie as well, and him attacking apex does not contradict his character. If not its furthering his place as the King of the Monsters removing any threat potentially harming him or earth. Small price to pay for salvation
fun fact about the mag lev (magnetic levitation) technology, we use a basic version already to lift up Bullet trains, it's how they move so fast, what we see with the tunnel is if it lifts the object all around. It's very much a possible technology, if energy demanding.
which he said, as well as fact it isn't in more common use due mostly to the high cost of install and maintain the system. it is a viable functional technology but impractical for financial and energy costs
Maglev tech needs some sort of track or rail to generate a field under the train, for its own magnets to "push against." The vehicles in this movie are flying due to some magical tech which doesn't exist in the real world. I miss the way the earlier films had at least some grounding in reality.
@@danieldickson8591Mate, Magnets of sufficient strength can make an object appear to be flying.
That's _literally_ the concept of a MagLev. Maglev is literally short for "Magnetic Levitation."
The only reason MagLev trains IRL need rails is because it's too expensive and power hungry to make a fully encased magnetic ring to push things along. Nothing in the functionality of the design requires rails.
You can prefer the earlier films, but don't make stuff up.
The tech does work irl, another example is how Particle Accelerators move particles fast & precise enough to cause collisions that break them apart. That is essentially the same idea, lifting an object with a full ring of magnets and giving it the appearance of flying.
Though, the scale and power consumption is on the level of ridiculous 🤣@@danieldickson8591
Closest thing is probably the Hyperloop that Elon Musk thought of but doesn’t exist.
The director of the movie confirmed that Godzilla was not going serious against Kong until he stroke him with the axe.
Make sense tho, Kong has no powers basically and has to rely on his intelligence to fight against Godzilla which has his atomic breath and his tough skin
@@od3rfla makes sense
It was all fun and games for Godzilla until he got smacked in the head 😂
Wrong, the director said in interview to IGN that Godzilla started taking the fight seriously when he saw the axe, the novel of GvK said that Godzilla intended to cut Kong in half with the atomic breath.
@@pedropaulocarvalho4554 That's literally what I said, but explained with other words 🗿
At the beginning Godzilla just limited himself to kill Kong with his atomic breath (he was even laughing when he hit Kong, he's playing with him), but the director said that when Godzilla was directly hit in the face with the axe, he began to hunt Kong, searching for him until Kong attacked him from behind, when Godzilla got serious and dislocated his shoulder, bit him, scratched his chest and stomped his chest... All that in matter of seconds, he literally finished the fight as fast as possible.
If you notice in the final fight mechagodzilla was only focus on killing godzilla as revenge for what he did to him in KOTM and didn't really mind kong until he continued to intervene up until MECHAGODZILLA got fed up with him so only then he attempted to kill kong first then finish of godzilla.
i like ur reactions alot, it feels fun and interesting
Thank you! That made our day 😄
Hey guys! Just wanted to say I really love your content! I appreciate your perspectives and conversations, it has been a pleasure to see your reactions to some of my favorite movies over the last several months. Oh! Love your lighting setup and the background setting and everything! Looking forward to seeing more great reactions! Thanks for what you do!
These films are a secret pleasure. I have digital versions on my tablet, so I can rewatch them anywhere. The sound design in these is so EPIC. Always love to watch a film with you guys. keep up the grade - A content. CHEERS!
(At 37:39) That's because it IS one of Godzilla's kinds dorsal plates. As the head attached to a femur bone of a MUTO
Saw this movie in theaters with my grandfather, he’s a HUGE Godzilla fan and he got me into this! This movie was absolutely incredible. I became a fan after King of the Monsters!!! ❤
I love how fun and loose you guys were on this episode, my wife and I love your playful banter! you guys rock!
We're so glad you guys enjoyed this! This was a blast to watch 😄
Only Godzilla movie where you can see the fights clearly
Was absolutely gorgeously filmed, especially the night scene in Hong Kong
"what's a king to a God"
"what's a God to a Non-Believer"
"Did your boy just surrender" 😂😂😂
I knew that you guys would love this film and how it delves into the Hollow Earth Theory. Awesome reaction, and so happy that you finally got to this one! ❤
2 fun facts. first one: in the 1st part of the hong kong battle, godzilla wasnt really trying against kong he was just toying with him untill kong slammed the axe on his face then he got pissed and actually went full force on kong
2nd one: Mechagodzilla isnt stronger than godzilla, godzilla was just exhausted from fighting kong and was too tired to fight against mechagodzilla, if godzilla and kong didnt fight, the battle between godzilla and mechagodzilla would've been way different.
Yeah 😅
That axe is a Godzilla spine, with a Godzilla bone for the handle.
That’s what I thought!
I thought that's the muto bone the way it glows red
In the words of our Lord and Savior, Serizawa: Let then Fight.
This movie had a lot left on the cutting room floor, unfortunately.
For example, Ren Serizawa is Dr. Serizawa's son and blames Godzilla for his father's death, which is why he helped build the Mecha in the first place.
There was also a cut plotline that had the Mecha have a second ORCA built into it.
Also, a little tidbit, the Novelization seemed to imply that Ren was possessed by Ghidorah instead of being killed.
EDIT: So Depth Charges are a weapon commonly deployed against Submarines. The Shockwave alone is enough to damage a submarine's hull.
The logic with using them against Godzilla was that they would probably cause enough disruption to Godzilla's senses to confuse him and make him let Kong go.
By the time Godzilla was fighting mecha-godzilla he was exhausted from searching the world destroying Apex and fighting Kong. He was halfway exhausted by the time he started fighting the machine, but as an alpha he always fought and saw the machine as a Ghidorah related threat. Kong, sensing what Godzilla did, and knowing Godzilla could've killed him but didn't and knew Godzilla probably only fought him because of the Ghidorah machine, knew that helping Godzilla was the right move short and long term. Kong wanted the hollow earth and he knew Godzilla would leave him be there. There's a lot of lore in comic books and books to fill in the blanks the movies aren't able to. Good reaction tho, a good genre to get into. Tons of movies to still watch and new movies still coming out. Godzilla the King of the Monsters, Kong the King of the Hollow Earth. A good truce of old enemies. Hard to know all the "inside baseball" without following all of the extra lore and media associated with it.
I do love the monsterverse, its impossible not to smile. Love the original Godzilla. The stamina required to spend the day in that suit....Please look up Owl Kitty Godzilla. Pure joy....
Love Owl Kitty!!!
@@JohnDAmico-ci2hz Agreed. The Claws short is one of the best things that has happened to the internat.
so haappy you guys got to watch this one! ill be honest i remember being on the hype train for this movie and after watching it without being spoiled, it was the best movie in the monsterverse, for a time. Cus coming back to this movie i think it couldve been done a lot better to feel like a true culmination of the past godzilla and king kong movies,.
Also the movie takes elements from King Kong escapes where he has to face a metal kong in the Arctic. Then they also took inspiration from metal King Ghidorah storyline but used Mecha Godzilla in its place.
I love this reaction and movie because it showed how far vfx has come. Kongs intelligence, athletic abilities were dope especially when he Superman punch Godzilla and he knew how to re-adjust his shoulder awesome🔥. Godzilla with the unlimited power breathe, and he smile when he hit Kong, like I got you was crazy. He asserted his dominance to Kong Like stay down lil bro🔥 🦎
1:04:23 Another theory is that they were allies and an ancient Godzilla gave one of his dorsal plates to an ancient Kong. That battle axe isn't just to defeat Godzilla, it works against other Titans too.
Y’all dropping hits after hits. Makes every drop so exciting to see. Here’s hoping y’all take a look at the Reddick trilogy at some point keep up all the hard work y’all 🫶🏽
(At 44:33) Kong: that's scaly bastard dislocated my shoulder.
so honest with the reviews you guys
Love how fast you guys post keep up the great reactions
The “num nums”. 😂. Love your channel. Been watching some reactions and enjoying the commentary on filming and just surprises. Looking forward to Back to the Future II reaction!
Y'all reaction to these films are nothing short of AMAZING!!! I AM subscribed
You too young folkes give me hope for the future your chemistry together is a real treat and the respect you have for the art as a whole is very refreshing new subscriber sorry took me so long to get here lol
Godzilla is a hero antagonist in this movie (at least at first) until the true villain antagonist (Mechagodzilla with King Ghidorah as part of his newfound consciousness) appears.
I love your dead pan delivery of Nathan's story. Laughed about that for awhile
I've been so excited to see you guys react to this! This is one of my top ten favorite movies ever. The Mechagodzilla reveal was so insane I almost squealed in the theatre when I saw it.
@Media Knights was a treat to see you both rep your favorites and Denise love all things Kong :). Thank you and your patrons.
Here we go again....ari stay calm, denise ive been waiting for thiss....love you guys
The general consensus after the movie was that Godzilla knows(through some vibrations) that the villains are using Ghidorah's head to make MechaGodzilla. This is why Godzilla openly attacked Pensacola as it was one of the locations owned by this company building MechaGodzilla. It is said that Godzilla was trying to find the root problem, but Kong on the other hand didn't get the full picture. Godzilla had to deal with Kong, as he was merely waiting for his actual showdown.
im really glad i found your channel like every vid you post i enjoy!
Just to let u know the Axe is made out of the Scales of a previous Godzilla, the ones that light up on Godzilla's back.
The fighting scenes are what happened in the ORIGINAL Kong vs. Godzilla back when I was small the only thing is that within that ORIGINAL Kong Whips Godzilla's Behind which they changed for this movie.
Like him sticking the tree in his mouth and them transporting Kong over the ocean and them fighting on the ocean.
The 2014 film was so artistic and made you feel like you were there, but lacked a bit of the monster fun. KOTM brought a surplus of monster fighting, but it lacked a bit of the scale and heart from 2014.
In this one they do a pretty great job of finding their groove between the emotion and fighting. That shot of Kong beating his chest while holding the mechagodzilla head is alone worth a theater ticket and I found myself cheering.
I’m one of the weirdos that still holds the 2014 movie in highest regard but this one is a good time.
Thx for the amazing and fun reaction im having a tough time a the hospital right now but guys like you help put a smile on my face so ty so verry much
We're so glad to hear these videos brighten up your day a bit. Keep smiling and we wish you a speedy recovery!
@@OfficialMediaKnights i will !! That Lord of the rings and monsterverse reactions are gonna get me out of here 😄
This film was everything I hoped it could be. As a child of the 70's I grew up on so much of this iconography and it's a such a treat to relive that first viewing while watching reaction channels and seeing it with new eyes. Love the true passion for the monsterverse.
When Kong was being airlifted by those choppers, and that part where he shoves something into Godzilla's mouth, I think those were references to the original movie by Toho. There, Kong was airlifted using large balloons, but there were helicopters, too. Also, there was a scene in that movie where Kong shoves a whole tree into Godzilla's mouth to keep him from firing his atomic blast.
Yesterday I had seen your reaction to the Godzilla movies, and I wanted to see your reaction to Godzilla vs Kong, and I hadn't found it, and just today they made the reaction, how wonderful 🤩
just u guys reaction alone with the soundtrack of the films give me even more chills 🥶🤘
You guys are the best with these reactions. They already have a new subscriber
When Kong drops his battle axe at the end, what we're seeing is not an act of submission; he's initiating a truce. After fighting each other and then fighting alongside/for one another, they harbor mutual respect.
I just recently stumbled upon your channel and honestly you guys are some of the best reactors i've seen on this platform, your analysis and authentic zeal for film is apparent and admirable therefore you guys have earned my subscription. And im looking forward to where you guys go from here on; and also, since everyone already has told you to watch monarch legacy of monsters, you guys should also watch the skull island netflix animated show(its 100% canon to the monsterverse) that would give you some further insights into kong and that series takes place in the 1993 and will explore and focus on the other unseen half of skull island. The characters in the show are really solid and interesting aswell, and its also the only entry so far in the monsterverse that is gory
Another stunning reaction I’m starting to absolutely love this channel definitely favourites
the axe Kong has is made of one of Gojira species' spikes, i.e, it belongs to Godzilla's Kin. It was ripped from the back of one of the Gojira by the Kong's species during the Great Titan war, in which all of Gojira species got extince expect Godzilla. It is said that the Ghidorah came from Venus, which made the Earth's titan unite against him, and then Shimo, the first titan and others fought with him and froze him in Antarctica, but after events unfold which caused the ice age on earth. And, since Gojira species were protectors of Nature, they fought against Shimo, and in this fight maybe Kong species joined him, and banished Shimo to Hollow Earth. But, Kong species has already seen the power of Godzilla spikes, then, something caused war between Gojira and Kong and his species killed Gojira and used their spikes as weapon against them. This is called the Great Titan war, which limited the number of Kong species, and wiped out Gojira
Ohhhhhhhh I LIKE THISSSSS
I didn't know that piece of info
@@kearycemoore2256 now you do
This is a runndown of the Gojira version (og version) of Godzilla, this one is the Monsterverse where they don't quite follow the same story, but close to it
@@biljancanin yeah, but it would be nice to know more about how Titan war took place in this universe,
Back to back.... Awesome!
👏😂 This is My Favorite Movie of this Franchise, and Y'all really Rocked this Reaction!! Thank You...👍👍
A Ape with Martials art vs A LIZARD DINO WITH ATOMIC BREATH
You know theres only one winner , GODZILLA 😂❤.
Loved your guys reaction
I just love your reactions, especially to these monster verse movies. Your enthousiasm is great to watch! 🤩
I didn't think I'd love the second and third movie as much as I did, they are so much fun!😊
I enjoy watching over these movies with you guys..👊
Fun Fact: The director of the film mentioned in an interview that the fight against MechaGodzilla would have been very different and much shorter if Godzilla had not been tired from fighting Kong. I mean, you saw the first Atomic Breath reaching the hollow earth.
Been waiting for this reaction all week!!!
The fact that Godzilla was just toying with kong in Hong Kong is crazy💀
Ty for posting in such great time my schools just finished so I get to watch my fav utubers on the way home
