Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire	comment	Spoilers from Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and Godzilla vs. Kong will be unmarked. You Have Been WarnedGodzilla x Kong: The New Empire is a 2024 Kaiju film, the fifth film and seventh instalment of the MonsterVerse franchise, and as the title says, the sequel to Godzilla vs. Kong and the third film to feature Godzilla and King Kong. Director Adam Wingard once more helms with cast members Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, and Kaylee Hottle returning to their roles alongside new additions Dan Stevens, Fala Chen, Alex Ferns, and Rachel House.Set a few years after the events of the previous film, Kong continues to explore deeper into the Hollow Earth hoping to find other Great Apes. As he continues ever forward, Monarch begins detecting a mysterious signal originating from previously unexplored regions of the Hollow Earth, which has begun to send Godzilla into a paranoid frenzy, as he starts steadily consuming more power. Realising that the King of the Monsters is preparing for something, MONARCH scientist Dr. Ilene Andrews teams up with Titan veterinarian Trapper, paranoid podcaster Bernie Hayes and her adoptive Iwi daughter Jia, to plot a course to find the signal's origin. Along the way, they discover a hidden threat, believed to be long buried, that not even Godzilla and Kong's combined power may be able to stop.The film was released on March 27 internationally, on March 29 in the United States, and is set for release on April 26 in Japan.Previews: Title Reveal, First Trailer, Second Trailer

He's still alive at this point, at which point Kong leaps into the air and smashes him to pieces on the ground, then smashes those pieces into powder for good measure.

He remembers the power boost he needed to defeat King Ghidorah and as far as he knows he doesn't have Mothra around to provide it this time.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire / int_178ca149	comment	The Worf Effect: In their first confrontation, Skar King uses his superior acrobatics and whip to avoid all of Kong's attacks and then attempts to choke out Kong with his whip, but Kong manages to shake him off and slams him onto the ground. This is followed immediately by Skar King calling in Shimo, who overwhelms Kong's axe and freezes his arm, leaving Kong injured and unable to fight. More subtly, this isn't the first time Tiamat has ever appeared in the Monsterverse, though it is her debut in any of the films. She's been previously established to be one of the most dangerous titans of all, and Godzilla kills her in the space of minutes after their fight begins.

When things go his way, he bears a terrifying Slasher Smile and Psychotic Smirk. Particularly, during the Final Battle, when Skar King arrives on the surface and sees fleeing humans on the beach of Rio, he simply grins and roars at them before deliberately targeting the skyline with Shimo.

Unfortunately, Godzilla takes it as a challenge and responds with hostility, not noticing or understanding the former's attempts to tell him that he means no harm and wants the reptile to follow him into Hollow Earth. It takes Mothra's intevention to clear the air and get Godzilla to stop attacking.

He attacks after Skar kills Suko's guardian (and possibly his mother or father, it's unclear) and is shown working with Suko for the rest of the film after the latter's Heelâ€“Face Turn.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: Godzilla's new design here has purple/pink-colored plates akin to his MireGoji design from 2000 and Vs. Megaguirus. Godzilla bursts out of an iceberg, just as he did in King Kong vs. Godzilla. The change in color for Godzilla's Breath Weapon going from light blue to a reddish tint, signifying a total boost in power, is identical to the Heisei incarnation having the far more destructive Red Spiral Ray as the sheer strength of his attack is more powerful than his default blue-colored Atomic Breath. This isn't the first time the iconic Christ the Redeemer Statue has appeared in a Godzilla project. It previously showed up in volume 3 of Godzilla in Hell, where it was destroyed in a flashback by SpaceGodzilla. Graffiti in Rome of Godzilla notably has him surrounded by a skeletal turtle, a floating white UFO, an ominous red eye with the warning to "save the earth", and a fist with the epithet "Punch, Punch, Punch!". Outside Godzilla, there's also the image of a dagger-faced monster with four eyes in blue.... During Godzilla's fight with Scylla, he makes a running jump as his opponent and lands on her feet first, reminiscent of his famous "drop kick" in Godzilla vs. Megalon. Mothra convincing Godzilla and another kaiju to put aside their differences and take on a greater threat as a Power Trio is much like her role in Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, with Kong in place of Rodan. Kong rips a wart-dog in half causing all its green blood to drench him completely making him resemble a certain green character from War of the Gargantuas. He then washes himself off under a waterfall, not unlike how Kong '76 rinses off Dwan after she takes a spill in the dirt. As Godzilla is being tracked down in France, the atmosphere is noticeably dark and rainy, and there's a particular shot of his footprint. Bernie mentions being hassled online by a troll called GhidorahStan64 - a subtle reference to the year the three-headed one's debut film was released. Godzilla's emergence from an iceberg with a helicopter flying overhead may be an homage to his introduction in King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962). Likewise, his dive from the Rock of Gibraltar into the ocean may be an homage to his dive from Letchi Island in Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (1966) which was also reused in Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973).

Cementing this is when Suko destroys the crystal Skar King used to control Shimo, which enrages the homicidal ape enough that his immediate response is to grab his son and attempt to strangle him to death.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire / int_479d4e5a	comment	Would Hurt a Child: When Suko and a bunch of other apes try to attack him in an ambush, Kong grabs hold of Suko and starts using him as a club to smack the other apes away from him, before tossing him aside. With that much having been said, while Kong is perfectly willing to fight Suko off to defend himself, he's not going to hurt the younger ape if he doesn't have to, and he won't stand for others hurting him either, since he steps in to save Suko from being killed by the Skar King later in the movie. Skar King on the other hand has no qualms about threatening and later trying to murder his implied son by strangling him luckily Kong intervened in the nick of the time, in a Papa Wolf moment. Even Skar King's de-facto second-in-command 'One-Eye ' tries to throttle Suko for his betrayal before meeting his end.

Also how Kong kills the Drownviper offscreen. We see some troubled water after it drags him under, but as Suko walks away assuming Kong to be dead he's suddenly tripped by the Gator-Snake's severed head—Kong emerging after having decapitated it. How Godzilla kills Tiamat. They engage briefly underwater, where she coils around him. Then we see him charge up his Atomic Breath, then it cuts to the surface—where a massive beam of plasma cuts through the water before pieces of Tiamat float up afterward. How Kong kills Skar King at the end by smashing him to pieces. The shot is just below the camera, so we see some pieces flying up, but not the actual corpse. However, given how many pieces fly up, we know Skar is now Deader than Dead.

It turns out to be scrapped Powered Armor for Kong, but the existing prototype glove is available to help Kong with his frostbite destroyed hand and power him up. As our human protagonists enter the Hollow Earth for the main plot, they enter a flock of flying creatures that are initially identified as predators, though Trapper points out that these particular animals are harmless unless provoked or during their competitive mating season, at which point they'll start shooting electricity out of their bodies, and sets their ship to camouflage with them so that they'll form an escort and keep them safe from other, more dangerous creatures. Trapper exploits this during the fight with the Skar King and his forces when they attack the Iwi village, setting the ship to give off a mating season signal so that a huge flock of them, all firing bolts of lightning, will give them a few more minutes for Godzilla, Kong, and Mothra to return.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire / int_a3515d6	comment	Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: The main antagonists of this movie contrast those of Godzilla vs. Kong: The Skar King to Apex Cybernetics. Both are hegemonic schemers that stand apart compared to most Titans for their uses of technology and higher intelligence to get what they want, and both seek to control a Titan of mass destruction that they're keeping inside their respective lairs as their attack dog against Godzilla, Kong and any other threat so they can secure supremacy over the Earth for themselves. But whereas Apex was an up-and-coming mega-corporation, created their own hi-tech cybernetic Titan, and they were completely undone by their hubris before they ever came close to realizing their dreams of conquering the Titans and ruling supreme on the Earth; the Skar King is an Ancient Evil Titan who has already made significant progress toward establishing himself as the apex monster, having killed and enslaved other Titans including enough Great Apes to form an entire kingdom already, and he's using an ancient, organic Titan as his weapon while having much more success at controlling it than Apex had with their Titan weapon. Whereas Apex was a direct Evil Counterpart to fellow Titan-researching organization Monarch, the Skar King is a direct evil counterpart to fellow Alpha Titan simian Kong. Shimo to Mechagodzilla. Both are powerful Titan threats that are set up as a direct rival to Godzilla specifically, and which are being used by hegemonic masterminds as their attack dogs. But whereas Mechagodzilla was a newborn, cybernetic Titan in the form of a manmade Humongous Mecha cyborg, its organic components were derived from the Satanic Archetype Ghidorah, and it was an iconic character originally belonging to Toho; Shimo is an ancient (even by the Titans' standards based on her Red Barons), and organic, reptilian Canon Foreigner Titan. Whereas Mechagodzilla had fire-based abilities in the forms of its inbuilt missile launchers, back-mounted rocket boosters, plasma punches and its A-74 Proton Scream, and it produced crimson light; Shimo is An Ice Person who produces blue light. Most importantly, Mechagodzilla is an authentic Omnicidal Maniac, and the biggest threat it poses comes from it breaking free of its masters' control as soon as it's ready for action; whereas Shimo on the other hand is being Forced into Evil by her master, and she ceases being an active threat and antagonist altogether as soon as she breaks free from his control. The Skar King to Ghidorah and the Alpha Skullcrawler. Both of the previous titans were larger and more physically powerful than Godzilla or Kong and possessed overwhelming brute force that meant that the heroes couldn't take them in a slugging match. The Skar King, meanwhile, is smaller and weaker than Kong and can't win a straight fight against him, but has superior agility, as well making use of weapons and minions to be a threat.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire / int_ad1db87c	type	Oh, Crap!
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire / int_ad1db87c	comment	Oh, Crap!: There's a dramatic close-up of Kong bringing out a justified flabbergasted expression when he gazes at the magma waterfalls opening up to reveal a pair of blue glowing eyes, which just so happens to be Shimo lurking behind it as she fires her Frost Bite Blast at Kong as he desperately tries to block the attack with his axe... and it seems that it's not being successful at withstanding the frost causing it to be destroyed, and on top of that, badly maiming Kong's right hand. Skar King begins to panic when Godzilla destroys his whip and sends the crystal flying. This is his default expression as he frantically tries to get it back. Kong gets another one when he tussles with Godzilla in Cairo; believing that he's knocked Godzilla out, Kong drags Godzilla to the portal back to Hollow Earth, only to realize that not only is Godzilla awake, but he's charging his atomic breath.

However, by the climax, Mothra's already got them to bury the hatchet by beating some sense (literally) into Godzilla before he could kill Kong, and they're completely on the same page when the Final Battle starts. It's clear at the end once the Skar King is defeated, when they share a smile, that any animosity is gone.

Even the giant skeleton they cross is reminiscent of JÃ¶rmungandr. The way that Kong sets off the trap for the Wart Dogs by throwing a log appears to be a reference to previous iterations of the character throwing a log hanging over a crevice in the same way while being pursued by the Denham expedition. Skar King keeps a harem of female apes in his throne room for breeding offspring, similar to what Immortan Joe did in Mad Max: Fury Road. Mikael compares Trapper to a hippy Ace Ventura. Godzilla's new pink appearance was based off of Kaio-ken. Skar King's control over Shimo is reminiscent of Drago's control over the Bewilderbeast in How To Train Your Dragon 2, especially since both Shimo and the Bewilderbeast have ice breath.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire / int_e5d8460d	comment	Unexplained Recovery: Rio de Janeiro appears completely intact before the Final Battle, despite that Godzilla: King of the Monsters showed Behemoth devastating the city on a news feed, and despite that movie and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters showing that Titan attacks like that have forced cities to be abandoned and overgrown.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire / int_e62dfb96	type	No Endor Holocaust
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire / int_e62dfb96	comment	No Endor Holocaust: Downplayed as we are not told that no one died, but logically speaking Godzilla (in particular when he is in a blind rage and disregarding everything about his surroundings aside from Kong) likely should have caused the deaths of hundreds of people even before the necessary battle in Rio that Godzilla cannot be called at fault for (since Skar King started it and would have done a lot more damage if Godzilla and Kong did not engage him and in that situation neither heroic Titan could worry about casualties even if they wanted to). Even so, while previous movies would give some admission to the collateral loss of human life Godzilla causes (the small amounts underscoring how Godzilla is not trying to harm people), in this movie, the closest they come is remarking on how much money it costs to repair damage Godzilla does to buildings.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire / int_e6f18344	type	Humongous Mecha
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire / int_e6f18344	comment	Shimo to Mechagodzilla. Both are powerful Titan threats that are set up as a direct rival to Godzilla specifically, and which are being used by hegemonic masterminds as their attack dogs. But whereas Mechagodzilla was a newborn, cybernetic Titan in the form of a manmade Humongous Mecha cyborg, its organic components were derived from the Satanic Archetype Ghidorah, and it was an iconic character originally belonging to Toho; Shimo is an ancient (even by the Titans' standards based on her Red Barons), and organic, reptilian Canon Foreigner Titan. Whereas Mechagodzilla had fire-based abilities in the forms of its inbuilt missile launchers, back-mounted rocket boosters, plasma punches and its A-74 Proton Scream, and it produced crimson light; Shimo is An Ice Person who produces blue light. Most importantly, Mechagodzilla is an authentic Omnicidal Maniac, and the biggest threat it poses comes from it breaking free of its masters' control as soon as it's ready for action; whereas Shimo on the other hand is being Forced into Evil by her master, and she ceases being an active threat and antagonist altogether as soon as she breaks free from his control.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire / int_e7d7aa38	comment	Spared, but Not Forgiven: Despite the titular titans parting ways on seemingly good terms and coming to an understanding in the previous movie after working together to defeat Mechagodzilla, Godzilla is furious the moment Kong comes onto the surface in Egypt and ignores Kong trying to show he isn't a threat. Only direct intervention from Mothra blindsiding Godzilla forces him to realize that Kong is only on the surface to ask for help.

Is Serious Business: Monarch takes note that Godzilla going after nuclear sources is so unusual the only explanation is he senses a big threat coming and is charging up to meet it. They're 100 per cent right, as the Iwi warned him Skar King has escaped his prison and is 'preparing for World War III' in Trapper's words.

During the Final Battle, all hope seems lost and Kong is about to die...but then Suko runs in with Kong's Axe and destroys the crystal controlling Shimo, turning the tide once and for all against Skar King.

He slouches menacingly on a throne when we first see him, watching over his slaves being beaten by his brutal soldiers. His posture and movement while standing are also very lazy, conveying aloof condescension.

Kong does share a portion of the Drownviper with Suko, so he holds no hard feelings over the young ape trying to get him eaten by it.

But once Kong defeats him for good, not only does he become the new ruler of Hollow Earth, but Suko (as well as Shimo) join him by his side.

Once the crystal is shattered by Suko, she wastes no time in freezing her former master, allowing Kong to finally shatter and kill him for good. Relatedly, Suko turns on the Skar King for being a maniacal tyrant while Kong is patient and kind unless provoked, and only chooses to kill as.an absolute necessity.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire / int_ff934825	type	Evil, Inc.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire / int_ff934825	comment	The Skar King to Apex Cybernetics. Both are hegemonic schemers that stand apart compared to most Titans for their uses of technology and higher intelligence to get what they want, and both seek to control a Titan of mass destruction that they're keeping inside their respective lairs as their attack dog against Godzilla, Kong and any other threat so they can secure supremacy over the Earth for themselves. But whereas Apex was an up-and-coming mega-corporation, created their own hi-tech cybernetic Titan, and they were completely undone by their hubris before they ever came close to realizing their dreams of conquering the Titans and ruling supreme on the Earth; the Skar King is an Ancient Evil Titan who has already made significant progress toward establishing himself as the apex monster, having killed and enslaved other Titans including enough Great Apes to form an entire kingdom already, and he's using an ancient, organic Titan as his weapon while having much more success at controlling it than Apex had with their Titan weapon. Whereas Apex was a direct Evil Counterpart to fellow Titan-researching organization Monarch, the Skar King is a direct evil counterpart to fellow Alpha Titan simian Kong.
