Jia: *riding on shimo's head*

Ilene: *signing* jia. Get down from there right now

Jia: *signing* i'm on a titan's head you're not.

I already made this joke for GvK, but once more, with feeling.

Ilene, signing angrily: Jia, get off the Titan.

Jia, cheeky signing: You're not my mom.

Ilene: GET OFF THE FUCKING TITAN, I AM YOUR MOM.

Jia: You're not my mom.

Ilene: I AM YOUR MOM, GET OFF THE FUCKING TITAN.

Jia: I'm on a Titan and you're not.

Ilene: HEY. GET OFF THE FUCKING TITAN.

Jia: I'm literally on a Titan, you're not.

Ilene, trying not to laugh: GET OFF THE FUCKING--

Jia: You're not my mom.

Ilene: LITERALLY, GET OFF THE TITAN.

Jia: You can't tell me what to do, I don't give a fuck.

Ilene: GET OFF THE FUCKING TITAN.

Jia: No.

Shimo: *has no idea what's going on but is here for it*

Rebecca Hall Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire (2024)

[uhhhyaenbyjade]

How I Would Change Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (if i was smart enough to direct and write movies)

DISCLAIMER: I loved GxK, and I believe it is an entertaining movie! This is just my take on how I would've liked to see things happen, with it connecting to the previous installments more, as well as tweaking some minor details here and there.

SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT! DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE

So, the biggest change I am adding is that Madison Russell from Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Godzilla vs. Kong. I was honestly surprised when I heard that Millie Bobby Brown wasn't involved in the project at all, and I feel like Maddie's presence could have really helped flesh out some of the human aspects of the movie.

The only other thing I am really changing from the movie is adding cameos that link the movies together better, as well as making some minor attempts at making the science less... fantastical. I am not deleting any scenes from the movie, just altering them and adding a few more. Hopefully, this keeps a good balance between the human aspect versus the Titan aspect. So, the movie would probably turn out to be approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes in length, compared to the 1 hour 55 minute run time. I am only going to have bullet points for the parts I am altering/adding, so anything I leave out from the movie is otherwise unchanged or doesn't have enough of a difference to warrant a bullet point.

During the scene where we see updates of MONARCH over the past few years, we don't just see Dr. Ilene Andrews in interviews, but also cameos from Dr. Ilene Chen and Dr. Ling Chen, and possibly some other cameos like Sam Coleman or Mark Russell. Less emphasis on being thankful for Godzilla's help (because yeah he's helping, but also thousands of people are dying directly from him), but more emphasis is placed on MONARCH helping with relief efforts, and the usage of the Titan Warning System we saw in MONARCH: Legacy of Monsters. Also, instead of the other MONARCH person we see in charge (who I think is Hampton, Rachel House's character?) we see Deputy Director Verdugo.

Another small change is that MONARCH isn't trying to "stay ahead of DC" here. I understand why they did that, but from my understanding of the previous iterations in the Monsterverse series, MONARCH was supposed to be considered trustworthy and the top Titan research group after King of the Monsters, especially after the fall of APEX. So, instead, MONARCH is just trying to find what answers they can give to the United Nations as soon as possible.

When Godzilla kills Scylla, we get an explanation of how Scylla was causing problems to the natural world, as well as directly challenging Godzilla for Alpha status, which was explored in Godzilla x Kong: The Hunted.

At the MONARCH school (which I really hope is a school for children of MONARCH employees, or at least a school funded by MONARCH, and not an indoctrination school), we see that Jia is a student at the school, and Maddie is there as well (I don't know what year this movie takes place in, but it takes place sometime after GvK in 2024. Timeline-wise, Maddie was 17 in 2024, and probably a junior/senior in high school, so depending on how long it's been since GvK, she could be a teaching assistant of some kind, or a senior in high school) and friends of each other. They both have visions as the Hollow Earth signal is received; Jia has flashbacks of her past on Skull Island and of her time in Hollow Earth, and Maddie has flashbacks of her encounter with Mothra, Godzilla, as well as when she faced Ghidorah and MechaGodzilla. Both of them also have the same quick flashing vision of the future events of the movie.

When Ilene comes to check on Jia after the incident of her drawing on the desk, Maddie is there, and there's a new scene where all three of them talk about what is going on. Maddie says that MONARCH is too rigid in their thinking, and mentions that there's someone who could help them.

In Miami, Maddie and Ilene meet up with Bernie, and Maddie is integral in helping Ilene convince Bernie to help.

During Trapper's introduction scene where he gives Kong his new tooth, we also have Nathan Lind and Mark Russell show up to witness the event. They are both there to say goodbye to the Hollow Earth transport team, and Maddie joins Trapper, Ilene, Jia, Bernie, and a MONARCH military member (instead of the asshole Mikael, it would be one of the G-Team members from Godzilla KOTM to add more emphasis on their death; either Jackson Barnes or Anthony Martinez would probably be the most recognizable ones)

Instead of Godzilla going to France's nuclear power plant and destroying the place to absorb the radiation, and therefore attacking the humans who attacked him (which kind of went against the whole "the Titans are the guardians of nature" thing and the previous characterizations of Godzilla in the Monsterverse), he goes to some abandoned nuclear site. I would say Chernobyl, but I doubt they'd put that in the movie due to Russia's Invasion right now. But just some abandoned nuclear plant somewhere would work.

Inside Hollow Earth, there are issues with the HEAV due to the signal disrupting the systems, but they are quickly able to figure out the best way to traverse the land; when Jia and Maddie sense the pulse, the HEAV lands until it is over, and then repeat. On their first landing, the G-Team member dies. After they find the Mothra temple, it is Maddie who approaches the glowing dragonfly and presses the button on the wall, allowing them to find the Iwi civilization.

In the scene where we first see Shimo, there is more emphasis and origin on the crystal that Skar King uses to control her; perhaps the crystal is a part of Shimo's ice crystals that we see on her back, and has strange properties due to the Hollow Earth's radiation? We also give Shimo more of a personality. When she first appears, Shimo would be curious about Kong, but flinch at sharp movements from anyone. And then when she is forced to attack, it'd be obvious that she doesn't want to, but Skar King forces her to with the crystal.

I want Shimo to have more characterization in the movie. I've seen people complain that she was just... kinda there. Like, her whole purpose was to keep Skar King from getting bullied too badly. So, by really showing that Shimo is being forced into this and that her natural state is curiosity and warmth (as opposed to her icy nature ;D ), it provides more depth to her character, making the viewers want to see her freed.

When Godzilla arrives at Tiamat's lair, they fight again, but instead of killing Tiamat, Godzilla is able to force Tiamat out like he did in Godzilla: Dominion. Again, too much unnecessary (although insanely badass) murder for a "guardian of nature". He goes into the hibernation to evolve himself.

In the Iwi civilization, we get a more scientific look at the Iwi culture. I don't understand the gravity thing the movie tried to go for, so instead I want to focus on the cultural aspect; they are similar in most aspects to what was seen in Kong: Skull Island, but there are clear differences in dress, the markings they wear, and their ceremonies. This would also be where we go into more detail about how essential Mothra is to this group of Iwi people, instead of her being shoehorned in when all we've seen previously was the Iwi and Kong's species. We see Jia figuring this out and clearly being happy at this. I would also go into them using crystals more, like how we saw with the guard's spears, instead of the gravity-based science. These crystals would be seen to have a mystic quality, explained by Mothra's radiation, perhaps.

When Kong arrives at the Iwi civilization with Suko, that's when Trapper leaves to go back to the Outpost to retrieve the gauntlet for Kong, THEN we go into seeing the lore behind Skar King and Shimo at the temple. This provides a better sense of time between Kong's arrival and his getting the gauntlet since it honestly felt way too fast.

Inside the crystal temple itself, we see the history of the war between Skar King and his ape versus Godzilla and Mothra. I'd love to have Shimo seen more as a threat, with them explicitly saying and having a longer conversation that Shimo was the one who started the last Ice Age, and that before she was captured by Skar King, she had frozen Ghidorah in Antarctica. There is perhaps slightly more exposition here, with the prophecy including not only the "Iwi from Skull Island", but "a girl touched by Mothra".

In this scene, I want to explore Maddie's connection to Mothra. In the Godzilla: King of the Monsters Official Novelization, it is implied that there is some connection between Mothra and Maddie after the scene in the Temple of the Moth. It is hinted at when Maddie has a vision of Mothra while she is unconscious during the Boston battle. I would love to explore that more, and there'd be a deeper explanation in the Official Novelization, something with Mothra bonding with Maddie since there weren't any twin priestesses like there usually is, perhaps.

This is when Trapper returns and gives Kong the gauntlet, and when Jia sends the latter up to bring Godzilla down to help.

Maddie and Jia both go up the crystal temple to the top, where they find that Mothra has a cocoon up there; Maddie realizes that this is what Mothra must have been doing before she arrived in Boston to help Godzilla (I remember reading somewhere that the director said that Mothra was likely off laying an egg during her absence between showing MONARCH where to find Godzilla and her arrival in Boston. This would work really well in my opinion, and a lot better than her materializing out of magic crystal dust.

When Kong arrives on the surface to summon Godzilla, they still fight a bit. However, it becomes clear early on that Godzilla really isn't into the fight; he has obviously been sensing the signal the whole time, so he knows that something is happening with Skar King and Shimo. With previous movies (and especially MONARCH: Legacy of Monsters) trying to convey Godzilla's intelligence, it isn't a far stretch to suggest that Godzilla would figure out that Kong is trying to get his help. Still, the fight goes on for long enough that Mothra arrives to keep them from beating each other up too much. We see Jia and Maddie reach out to Kong and Godzilla respectively.

When Skar King arrives at the Iwi civilization, the Iwi tribe uses their knowledge of the region's radioactive properties (again, nothing gravity-based science-wise because that was all confusing and likely very bad science) to try and send energy through the crystals, messing with the portals from Hollow Earth.

There is no more anti-gravity fight scene. Although I enjoyed it a lot (seeing Godzilla swim through the air and the apes use the rocks to climb around were honestly so cool), it doesn't fit with the "improved" science I am attempting to do. Another ground fight, but they go around the tunnel so they're all still fighting on different planes.

Due to the close proximity to the surface, Ilene is able to warn MONARCH, and they work with the United Nations to evacuate Rio de Janeiro, since there is a tunnel appearing there. This brings us back to the beginning, where I wanted to do away with the "be grateful for Godzilla even though he destroys thousands of people's lives every time he's on the news" thing at the start.

When Skar King and Shimo arrive in Rio de Janeiro, since Kong, Godzilla, and Mothra are unable to stop them due to the immense amount of apes in Skar King's army, there is a lot of destruction. We see Skar King force Shimo into starting another Ice Age, though again, we see that she really doesn't want to do what he says. She starts freezing the city, and the MONARCH evacuation teams there panic as they get closer to their position, before Godzilla, Kong, Jia, Maddie, Trapper, and Bernie (the humans are in the HEAV, with a brief exposition that Mothra was staying back to stop all of Skar King's apes from destroying the Iwi civilization).

This fight is pretty much the same, but the civilians are barely present, and we only see them evacuating a few people away in the HEAV. The final battle still focuses mainly on the Titans, with a heavy amount of emphasis on the crystal from Skar King's whip. I'd keep the absolute bullying that Skar King got the same, but the explanation for this is that Skar King is much older now, and his opponents over-leveled themselves expecting him in his prime.

Mothra arrives from the tunnel, and this is what distracts Skar King long enough for Suko to use Kong's axe to break the crystal that controls Shimo. Once this happens, we see that Shimo can feel it, and she immediately stops attacking Godzilla and looks around in curiosity and amazement. She flinches when Skar King is trying to order her around while he is being bullied by Kong, but with a trill from Mothra and a growl from Godzilla, she joins in bullying her tormentor.

After the fight, there is more of a delay before the ending; we see Bernie on the news talking about his podcast, achieving his movie-long wish to be believed; we see Maddie saying goodbye to Mothra as she leaves and Maddie reunites with her dad and also Josh from GvK; Jia stays with Ilene, but she has a newfound connection to the Iwi sister tribe in the Hollow Earth; Mothra flies across the ocean while Godzilla swims below her to emphasize the symbiotic relationship, and they both take a nap in the coliseum (Godzilla is considerably more careful as he steps through the city this time); Kong returns to the Hollow Earth with Suko and Shimo, and he leads the apes out of their imprisoned area and to the main area of Hollow Earth, where his kingdom is.

For an end credits scene, it'd be Ilene and Jia in the Iwi civilization, where they get permission from the priest lady to see a special part of the temple, where it reveals prophecy-art of Kong, Mothra, and Godzilla fighting against their next enemy.

Obviously, without anything known about future projects, we don't have any end credits scene for this movie. If there is another movie (I thought I saw somewhere that Adam Wingard wanted to direct a trilogy of Monsterverse movies, which means another GxK installment could be in the future, perhaps?), I don't think they'd do what many people want and bring back a Toho villain. Based on the trend of what they've done in the series so far, the next installment would include an original villain with some connection to both of them. So I'll list out some options of what I'd like to see, of both Toho villains and original villains:

Toho: Hedorah, Biollante, Destoroyah, and my personal choice; Battra.

Original: Methuselah, Leviathan, another threat from space (not SpaceGodzilla, since that'd be difficult to work out in this series I think, but maybe something along the lines of Ghidorah's family, since I think they were briefly mentioned in the King of the Monsters Official Novelization), or another threat that goes against Hollow Earth and the surface. Maybe a giant worm-like creature or burrowing Titan could be a good idea, since it'd be able to go back and forth between the two worlds. It'd provide a nice background for how the portals are made.

So, there it is! I hope you guys enjoyed it and like my ideas for how Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire could have been improved. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

[acelestialcraze]

In an au similar to symbiote stuff, which titans would bond with which humans???

couldve asked me this on disc but i digress..

anyway, to make this easier on myself, im gonna assume this is an au where nobody died— im not sure how the symbiotes would work but maybe theyre js pieces of titans that split off and attach themselves to their host?

godzilla: the most logical choice would be dr. serizawa since serizawa is the closest thing to godzillas human friend, so maybe he would stick w serizawa, but another part of me thinks he would want someone at their prime since ishiro is what? 70 years old 😭 which leads me to think godzillas host would actually be ford since hes on a good moral standpoint, understands why titans cant be eradicated, and even aided godzilla.

kong: as obvious as jia would be, i think they’d end up reckless like whenever dylan brock has venom, so maybe he wouldn’t want to hurt jia and would instead settle for dr. andrews, knowing he could protect jia while bonded to ilene.

mothra: the chen twins, that probably goes wo saying 😭

rodan: honestly, he doesn’t interact with human characters and we haven’t really seen enough of him, but i’ll throw my hat into the ring and say maybe lauren griffin? or anthony martinez? im js thinking someone from g-team in kotm

ghidorah: theres actually a lot of candidates for ghidorahs host, since i dont think any of this will come to fruition, ill js spitball who— first off, jonah seems like a logical choice, however, after kotm, jonah is a wanted man with little to no assets since most of his mercenaries were wiped out, i think (and since im biased) ghidorah would want someone powerful and to spite ishiro, he’d go for ren and become a carlton drake/riot figure.

mechagodzilla: since ren would be busy w ghidorah, that leaves mechagodzilla wo a host, so i know this sounds like a reach but i think maia would be a great host! mechagodzilla is referred to as ‘the son of simmons’ which makes him maias younger brother, what an odd family but i digress

shimo: since everyone lives in this timeline, i think in some ways emma would make for a good host for shimo, idk why it js came to mind soo

if yall wanna see more of this lmk, i js listed off the titans that have the most characterization

[Regarder] Godzilla x Kong : Le nouvel Empire (2024) Film en streaming VOSTFR – VF

papadustream.cfd

-Regarder Godzilla x Kong : Le nouvel Empire en streaming sur Papadustream.cfd : Streaming Le dernier opus de la franchise Monsterverse de Warner Bros. montre des signes d'une imagination anémique. Rien dans “Godzilla x Kong : Le Nouvel Empire” ne fait sens, ce qui n'est pas, en soi, un problème. Nous ne sommes pas installés confortablement dans nos sièges de cinéma avec notre popcorn rassis pour discuter de métaphores et de science ; nous sommes ici pour les stars du titre. À propos de ce titre : “Godzilla x Kong” (censé évoquer divers autres titres dans d'autres films Godzilla, non hollywoodiens) pourrait signifier Godzilla multiplié par Kong, ou Godzilla croisé avec Kong, ou encore Godzilla contre Kong — une sorte de permutation de titans. Quoi qu'il en soit, il y aura des coups. Nous sommes là pour les coups.

Ce que nous ne sommes pas là pour voir, ce sont les humains, ce qui est chanceux, car ils tombent comme des mouches. La plupart des personnages des derniers films — y compris celui de 2021 “Godzilla vs. Kong” (également réalisé par Adam Wingard) — ont disparu, largement sans explication. Notre personnage principal maintenant est le Dr Ilene Andrews (Rebecca Hall), mère adoptive d'une préadolescente, Jia (Kaylee Hottle), membre de la tribu Iwi, qui communique directement avec Kong par le langage des signes. J'ai particulièrement regretté l'absence du Dr Nathan Lind d'Alexander Skarsgard, dont l'absence est en quelque sorte expliquée mais pas pleurée, et qui a été remplacé, pour des raisons narratives, par un vétérinaire farfelu des titans joué par Dan Stevens. (Pour une raison quelconque, je suppose pour signaler l'excentricité, Stevens arbore un accent australien exagéré.)

Ils sont rejoints une fois de plus par Bernie Hayes (Brian Tyree Henry), le podcaster-blogueur-documentariste-bizarre du dernier film. Pour une raison quelconque, il est convaincu que personne ne croit ses histoires sur les titans, même si le véritable Godzilla erre sur Terre et est montré aux actualités télévisées. (Je suis plus bloqué sur l'idée étrangement fantastique qu'il soit un blogueur populaire. N'aurait-il pas déjà un Substack à présent ?)

Ces humains sont assez ennuyeux, plus anémiques que dans le dernier film. Ils sont là uniquement pour propulser le récit à travers cette histoire, qui commence avec Kong vivant dans la Terre Creuse (exactement ce que ça semble être) et Godzilla à la surface. Tant que les deux ne se rencontrent jamais, tout va bien — et par tout, je veux dire l'humanité.

Ce qui signifie, bien sûr, qu'ils se rencontreront. Les scientifiques repèrent Godzilla en train de faire la sieste dans le Colisée, puis de se frayer un chemin à travers l'Europe et le nord de l'Afrique, absorbant apparemment autant d'énergie nucléaire qu'il le peut car il sent une confrontation arriver. En même temps, quelque chose ne va pas du tout dans le monde de Kong en dessous. Et Jia fait aussi des rêves étranges — des rêves qui mènent à une expédition dans la Terre Creuse.

Ce qui suit est une tentative d'établir beaucoup de mythologie pour la franchise Monsterverse. (Leur terme, pas le mien.) C'est une grosse erreur. Vous pouvez dire que c'est une erreur, parce que toute cette mythologie doit être révélée dans un dialogue explicatif fastidieux. Plus important encore, une fois que vous savez ce qui s'est passé dans le passé, vous savez précisément ce qui va se passer dans le présent, ce qui arrache tout suspense restant au film, ne laissant que les coups. (Tellement de coups.)

D'ailleurs : cette série a-t-elle besoin d'une mythologie ? Godzilla et Kong ont tous deux une riche histoire cinématographique sur laquelle s'appuyer — c'est le 38ème film pour Godzilla et le 13ème pour Kong, et bien qu'ils n'aient pas partagé l'écran jusqu'à récemment, ils apportent tout leur bagage et leur histoire avec eux. Cela ressemble à une tentative désespérée pour la franchise de crossover de justifier à la fois son existence et sa continuation.

Ce qui n'est pas surprenant. Le bilan de cette série donne le tournis. Le film de 2014 “Godzilla”, une sorte de redémarrage de la série originale de Toho mettant en vedette le personnage, était un film légitimement excellent, équilibrant spectacle et pathos humain. Mais ensuite sont venus “Kong: Skull Island” et “Godzilla: Roi des Monstres”, tous deux censés construire un univers partagé, tous deux non seulement mauvais mais vraiment déprimants. Ensuite, il y a eu “Godzilla vs. Kong”, qui n'était pas, techniquement parlant, bon — mais il promettait une confrontation et l'apportait, avec un coda tardif de coopération involontaire et visuellement spectaculaire entre le singe massif et le lézard nucléaire. C'était un plaisir à regarder, surtout parce que le climax arrivait enfin : les deux monstres avaient enfin leur rencontre tant attendue.

Mais avec ce zénith dans le rétroviseur, “Godzilla x Kong : Le Nouvel Empire” n'a plus beaucoup de route à parcourir, et ça se voit. Les meilleurs moments impliquent Kong se déplaçant à travers le paysage, Godzilla piétinant et écrasant des choses, et bien sûr la confrontation finale inévitable, qui réserve quelques surprises. Kong en particulier semble n'avoir aucun problème à communiquer sans langage humain, et ces scènes prolongées sont tellement amusantes à regarder qu'il est décevant de revenir aux humains.

Certes, les humains peuvent être une partie fructueuse de ces films de monstres. Le récent film japonais “Godzilla Minus One”, produit pour une fraction du budget de “Godzilla x Kong” et récipiendaire de l'Oscar des meilleurs effets visuels cette année, parvient à combiner la créature avec un véritable pathos et un accent sur le coût humain de la guerre, de la culpabilité et du traumatisme. C'est plus en phase avec l'origine de Godzilla, aussi, en tant que

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

I might’ve been a little starved for blockbusters the first time I saw Godzilla vs. Kong and rated it. In my defense, it was during the pandemic and the other movies I was able to see during lockdown were mostly disappointments. Reviewing the film again, I recognize that the human’s plot is undercooked while everything with the monsters is spectacular. Well, at least the movie knows where its priorities stand and considering what its audience wants to see…

When Godzilla suddenly attacks Apex Cybernetics’ Pensacola facility, conspiracy theorist Bernie Hayes (Brian Tyree Henry) becomes convinced they somehow provoked the titan. Madison Russell (Millie Bobby Brown) - an avid fan of his podcast - shares his suspicions. They rope her friend Josh (Julian Dennison) into investigating and confirm their fears aren't entirely unfounded. After the attack, Apex insists mankind needs to develop a weapon against Godzilla and asks Monarch to give them access to Kong. They believe the titan ape can lead them inside the vast caverns below our world to a power source formidable enough to take down the king of the monsters.

Though Godzilla’s name appears first in the title, this film is about Kong much more than the radioactive dinosaur. It’s a good choice, as the ape is resourceful, an underdog in this fight and intelligent enough to communicate with Monarch via sign language. Godzilla might’ve protected the Earth/humanity in the previous movies, but was it really a heroic character, or was the nuclear reptile just killing its rivals? Kong, on the other hand, has actual human friends. Even though the Iwis we met during Kong: Skull Island have been wiped out (seems like a missed opportunity), Kong still has a link to them in the form of Jia (Kaylee Hottle), a deaf-mute Iwi survivor adopted by Dr. Ilene Andrews (Rebecca Hall). Nonetheless, his situation gives him a very relatable quest: he wants to know if there is a new family for him out there.

One-half of the human's story fares fairly well. With the help of Apex Cybernetics, Dr. Ilene Andrews, along with Jia and hollow-earth scientist Nathan Lind (Alexander Skarsgård) follow Kong into this hidden world beneath our feet that houses all sorts of monsters and an ancient rivalry between Kong and Godzilla (seems wacky, but it does lead to some fun developments). These characters are following Kong on his journey so when the 8th wonder of the world is put in danger, they are too. The other humans, however, feel like they only appear to deliver exposition or to give us some familiar faces. You could easily re-jig this story to remove them.

But of course, you didn't come to this film for the human element. Yes, kaiju films are better when the "tiny" protagonists are compelling, but if there's one aspect of this movie director Adam Wingard had to get right, it was the Godzilla and Kong stuff. I'm happy to say you won't be disappointed. The Titan battles are varied, clearly shot, tense and action-packed. You get three rounds between Kong and Godzilla, with a clear winner at the end that will leave fans of either camp satisfied. I know a lot of purists will say a Godzilla film isn't the same without rubber suits, but this picture does so much with modern special effects. Varied locations, varied angles, moves no human could do, etc. That last brawl in the neon-lit Hong Kong will make you say "wow!".

There have been a lot of Godzilla films since the character appeared. Some have been dramatic, others comedic or somewhere in the middle with an emphasis on dumb fun. None have featured action scenes as good as the ones in Godzilla vs. Kong. Even if you only have a passing interest in the characters, the highlights are strong, strong enough to make you forgive the parts that could've been strengthened. It's not even a guilty pleasure; it's gargantuan fun. (On Blu-ray, March 27, 2024)

[adm-starblitzsteel-4305]

Based on your post @sassyassblog 😁:

P.S. I'm using the MonsterVerse Kaijus as humans since this is also from my GenAU MV Edition. So no worries.

Here's the scenario:

"Man..." thought Godzilla as he walked tiredly towards his mansion, "I need a quick nap..."

Turning around making sure no one was sneaking at him, he knelt down to the front door and snag a key he secretly kept from a carpet. He opened the door and enter before closing it shut.

The man took off his shoes and socks before putting it on a casket beside the door. His darkish black to navy blue hair is in mess due to the extreme heat back from where he work at a city and also in due course of his job. As usual, he often comes late at home since his wife, Mothra, usually is first to arrived home shortly before himself.

Still, she's not here, so maybe Godzilla need an extra free range of their cozy house. Once his wife arrived home, he smirked at the deal that he told her a few days ago.

He needs to arrange a few things.

It was already 5:15 PM, Godzilla thought about his best friends. Most likely, Rodan, Anguirus and Kong were sometimes having a sleepover with him (which Mothra denies it for their unruly manners, something that Godzilla feared for her anger), only for 2 days. Or even a week if there's an activity going around the mansion he and Mothra owned. Currently, Rodan had finally found a job as a chef from a local restaurant, Anguirus deliberately needed to pass an exam to be a history teacher, and Kong...well...he's still a policeman and work tirelessly to earn some savings for his adoptive deaf daughter Jia and her adoptive mother Ilene Andrews.

Success earns hardwork and support, that's something Mothra - yes, she is a science and art teacher - reminded them for their lives.

Anyway, just as Godzilla was about to head upstairs...

"LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKK AT ME~"

He jumped from a sudden breakout of a familiar voice that scared the shit of his pants. Well, whoever broke in to his home without permission shall get the beat out of their shit in no mercy, he swore it.

Instantly, the man heard a sound of a running water coming across the bathroom (the door was practically open slightly). Carefully not to make any noise, Godzilla tiptoed from the source, only for his eyes scanned from something he just ever seen in the entire motherfucking world.

"WHAT THE FU-"

"TELL ME WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATT YOU SEE~"

Standing in the middle of a shower is none other than RODAN!

By the looks of it, his back was on a curtains, showering by himself, and practically naked (well, half naked to be exact). The fiery red haired Mexican man didn't seem to bother that Godzilla was there peeping. In his hand was a brush used to scrub on a skin, preferrably the ones that Mothra used it.

Damn, of all places...

"AM I GOOOOOOOOOOOOOODD OR BAD~"

Godzilla had never been slack-jawed of how fucking awesome Rodan's singing voice is. I mean, he had seen Rodan singing crazily after drinking a shot too much back from their old times sake, which he and even Kong dragged him all because of his violent manner after having a fight with some unwanted men from a bar. But this one...

"Woah..." Godzilla breathed, "Rody's not so bad with that voice, I bet some girls would swoon over him if he was a celebrity."

"DON'T YOU JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDGGEE SO FAST~"

But as Rodan twirled around...

"Hey, hey, hey-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Rodan let out a mightiest girlish scream of the entire mansion, almost shook off the ass out of his confidence. His eyes wide as dinner plates when he saw Godzilla on the door peeping, who was indeed startled by the redhaired man's scream.

Knowing he is caught red-handed, and indeed naked, he covered himself with his arms and hands, purposely snagged a towel beside the sink and wrapped it around his waist, before marching towards Godzilla and slammed the door shut.

"What was that for, Rodan?!" Godzilla growled.

"Like indeed you are peeping me without knocking!" Rodan bites back.

"Oh really? Then you should've closed it before your bird-brain of yours!"

"You just entered my-our own house without texting me?!" Godzilla said angrily, "You know what happens when Mothra finds out just like what happened to you and Ghidorah!"

"That's in the past now, we'll never do it again! I promised!"

"Then what are you fucking doing here?!"

Rodan slowly opens the door with a dull expression...

"...I'm running out of water back from my apartment and I haven't pay a rent so..." He gave him a puppy eyes.

Oh great. Just fucking great.

Rodan had barely payed a rent just to avoid himself kicked out by the landowner. Many times, he would got himself into trouble, and Godzilla and Kong even needed to bail him out because of that.

Godzilla sighed heavily, massaging his temples just to avoid 10 times headache and all.

"Okay, fine! I'll gave you a cash."

Rodan beamed.

"But! I'm not taking any chances! You need to worked harder, and you're already hired as a chef. I'm counting on you, Rody."

"Gracias mi mejor amigo."

"Now hurry up before Mothra finds out and gonna beat you out of your daylights."

"Okay!"

"BTW, Rodan..." Godzilla leaned over the wall, "I didn't know you have a wonderful singing voice."

"R-Really?"

"Yeah, good thing nobody would notice your quite voice and good looks..."

"And that you are indeed a good singer."

Godzilla and Rodan are startled by another voice, because that voice was no other than Godzilla's wife and His Queen, Mothra.

Sweat trickled down their foreheads, seeing the expression of the white-haired woman...

"Now..."

Oh boy.....

Outside, infinite babblings and pleading were heard followed by a loud smack as Godzilla and Rodan are deserved to be punished.

But at the same time, Mothra quitely likes the singing voice of the red-haired man, but hated the fact that Rodan dared to enter their house without permission.

Lesson learned, Rodan, the Fire Demon.

Also, the song Rodan sang in the bathroom was titled "Good Tonight" by Daniel Pemberton and Anthony Ramos from the movie The Bad Guys.

Also, my MV Rodan's voice actor is Anthony Ramos. I thought that would be fun since Ramos voiced Mr. Piranha. 😁

And I am still looking for MV Mothra's voice actress while my MV Godzilla's voice actor is Keith David.

Well anyway, have fun reading it!

[filmaza]

W "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" reżyser Adam Wingard kontynuuje rozwój MonsterVerse, przedstawiając kolejną epicką konfrontację między tytułowymi gigantami. W tej odsłonie Godzilla i Kong muszą połączyć siły, by stawić czoła starożytnej i potężnej groźbie, która wyłania się z cienia, zagrażając światu. Film zgłębia tajemnice Skull Island i dawne spory między przodkami tytanów, ujawniając skomplikowane powiązania ich losów z losami ludzkości.

Wątek rozpoczyna się, gdy Kong odkrywa niezbadany region i plemię gigantycznych małp po otwarciu się przepaści w pobliżu jego domu. Na swojej drodze spotyka młodego Suko, z którym z czasem nawiązuje więź. Natomiast Godzilla musi zmierzyć się z Tiamat na Arktyce, by zyskać nowe moce, które ujawniają się przez magentowe kolce na jego grzbiecie. Tajemnice i dawne legendy odkrywane przez bohaterów ludzkich, takich jak Dr. Ilene Andrews i Jia, prowadzą do spektakularnej bitwy na powierzchni Ziemi, gdzie nasze tytany wraz z nowymi sprzymierzeńcami muszą stawić czoła Skar Kingowi i jego armii.

"Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" wzbogaca uniwersum o nowe postacie i wprowadza widzów w głębsze warstwy mitologii tytanów. Film, będący kontynuacją "Godzilla vs. Kong", zachowuje dynamiczną akcję i imponujące efekty specjalne, stanowiąc jednocześnie rozwinięcie narracji o pochodzeniu tytanów i ich związkach ze światem ludzi. Skomplikowana fabuła i rozbudowane tło mitologiczne dodają głębi i sprawiają, że "The New Empire" jest ważnym rozdziałem w MonsterVerse.

The Mosley Review: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

When it comes to Kaiju films, why do we all rush out to the theater? Is it to witness the destruction, mayhem and epic fights on the biggest screen possible with the best sound? Is it the environmental message they sometimes hold in the seams of its story? Is it the lore or is it the interpersonal story of the returning characters of the franchise as new loveable ones get introduced? Am I really serious about the human story question? We run to see the titans we love fight other monsters and save the world. Nobody really cares for the human story even if it is somewhat sweet and adds a level of relatability. At least these films from the beginning knew what they are and don't overstep their bounds. This franchise started off about the humans and wisely switched focused to the titans and their enemies. That is the promise that is fulfilled in every frame of this film with the characters delivering the exposition to keep the viewers on track of what's going and how it all makes sense.

Rebecca Hall returns as Dr. Ilene Andrews and she delivers a serviceable performance. She is just about the same as she was in the past film, but this time she was more about the adventure than just the science. Kaylee Hottle also returns as Jia and she continues to have the most heartfelt scenes with Kong. As her Dr. Andrews' adopted daughter, there was a genuine chemistry between them and it was the heartwarming if not cheesy. Bryan Tyree Henry returns as the loveable extremist and podcaster, Bernie Hayes. He hasn't skipped a beat with the amount of manic energy and comedic timing in every scene he's in. Dan Stevens was a fun and delightful addition to the troupe as Trapper. He was a full on hippy dentist that's just there for the adventure and flirtatious energy between and him and Dr. Andrews. Alex Ferns was cool the standard military dude Mikael, but he still has a fun and strong presence. Now the real stars of the film take center stage and I loved every second of their scenes. Kong was truly a badass and I loved that we get to see him be a shade of that classic 80's action hero that’s a smart, no nonsense leader and is for defending other apes like him. There is a smaller red ape that Kong meets and I had a huge fear that this kid was there just to sale toys, but he has his purpose and ultimately becomes useful. Godzilla was a destructive force that was truly on a mission this time around. It seemed everytime you saw him on screen, he was throwing down with another titan or just getting annoyed by the humans attacking him when he's simply preparing for an upcoming battle. I loved it anyway and liked that his new resting place. When Kong and Godzilla meet again, it was hilarious, fun and awesome once they actually team up. The new villain of the franchise, the Skar King, was sort of weak, but formidable.

The score by Tom Holkenborg and Antonio Di Iorio was good and bombastic and as epic as you'd want it to be. I really loved the mixture of 80’s synth and how it gave it that somewhat fantasy feel. The last 30 minutes of the film is where it adds to the chaos happening. Like I said before, you came to see our favorite titans take on a new villain while destroying everything in their path. While yes there are humans in the story, they were just there to keep us on track with the plot so we don't get bored. This film delivered on that promise and I was thoroughly entertained and you will be too. It may not be the best film of the year, but it was a massive and action one for sure. Let me know what you thought of the film or my review in the comments below. Thanks for reading!
