#godzilla x Kong reference

[ofowlsdinosaursanddragons]

Guys, I just have possibly the worst idea for the kaijumorpha au

what if like in the manga, hilbert is in the white stone but is stolen by ghetsis and turns him into a human/reshiram hybrid and later kyurem as well (unlike with Kieran, he’s still Hilbert.) and during those two years he’s being tortured and enslaved by ghetsis because N isn’t around to be his punching bag when he gets angry and eventually develops ptsd and scars across his body. And During the battle against ghetsis, Nate/Rosa are forced to fight the human/white kyurem hilbert. And after fusing with Zekrom, becomes the original dragon and begins to question his humanity and goes with Hilda to help others like him.

And this is their dynamic btw

... Gigan Rex and Megalon kinda did deserve it...

Minus one won't hesitate

MEGALONHOWTFDOIDRAWYOU Stupid bug and his lack of references...

Godzilla and Kong when Mothra shows up

[roybattyrabbit]

probably what Suko’s life was like in Hollow Earth before he met Kong (idk yet the movie isn’t out)

[graspingremlinhands]

DAMN, if the tag is not dry as a pair of highlights left w\out the cap on.

For the ghidzilla shippers and the connoisseurs of Preggo!Ghidorah everywhere!!( even tho as always everybody's welcome)

Editing is my passion 🤓

I don't say Mothra and Rodan would not react well to the news but BOY, I SAY BOY, things would get ugly a bit.

(in case someone has a problem seeng it, first phrase is Ghidorah and I are mates now)

I had a vision during testing that Shimo had a daughter and it caused such a surge in my brain that it stopped me from testing cuz I was thinking so hard about it.

Godzilla x Kong the new empire

[theknucklehead]

So according to the trailer for the new Godzilla & Kong movie, Godzilla is Super Saiyan Rose and King Kong is Thanos.

For some reason I want to see Godzilla and Kong dancing to War by Edwin Starr at the end of Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire.

I watched the new Kong and Godzilla movie in 3d cause I figured it’d fun. I didn’t expect it to be good.

Kaiju Week in Review (December 31, 2023-January 6, 2024)

Episode 9 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters was a huge one, wrapping up the flashback storyline with gut punch after gut punch and dropping half the cast into a new realm of the Hollow Earth, Axis Mundi. I'm being vague because there's a very big twist at the end. Chomping at the bit for the finale.

@quazies has graced us with another animated Godzilla short, this one focusing on Rodan and wringing surprising emotion out of the daffy bird. And I continue to get a kick of out this Animal Crossing-esque Monster Island. This is their fourth Godzilla video; if you're unfamiliar with them, correct this immediately.

The new issue of TotalFilm has a sizable article on Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. My notes:

Trapper (Dan Stevens) is a sort of Titan veterinarian.

Emphasis on filming in real places; the Hollow Earth is a mixture of Greenland, Iceland, Hawaii, and Australia. Also mentions some sort of physical Kong prop and another full-sized HEAV.

Apex isn't in this story "in a literal way," but Monarch seems to have copped some of their tech; Kong's B.E.A.S.T. Glove is implied to be one example. Sort of disappointing that the Monsterverse continues to avoid having a recurring human villain, but then it would've been hard to keep Apex in the picture, between the Mechagodzilla scandal and all their key members dying.

Rome is mentioned as a location in the film, which was reinforced this week with a Japanese trailer showing Godzilla astride the Colosseum prior to his evolution. As a half-Italian, I'm thrilled.

Wingard is aiming for late-Showa Godzilla vibes. Not possible on a nine-figure budget, says I, but I'm curious to see what he comes up with. Adds that he "wanted the color palette of the film to resemble the experience of what it was like to walk down a toy aisle in the 1980s[.]"

Wingard on Skar King: "[He's], in a way, the closest that the human threat has ever been juxtaposed onto a titan itself. The Skar King almost represents an upscaled version of the worst parts of humanity, just as Kong represents some of the best parts of humanity."

Now, about that cover... they're doing the bisexual lighting on purpose at this point, right?

The new Godzilla Battle Line units are Orga and Kiryu Kai (Heavy Arms Type). Orga's pretty fun, dropped into the arena by the Millennian UFO and respawning with half health once defeated. The new Kiryu is a major addition, dealing 30% more damage to units that cost 7 energy or more.

This is my first Kaiju Week in Review covering 2024; for a look back on all that happened in 2023 in kaiju film, television, and video games, I'll refer you to this excellent video by @zagorudan. @vintagehenshin has one out on indie tokusatsu as well.

This is a year ending in "4", so a lot of Godzilla movies have big anniversaries on the way. The biggest, of course, is Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, turning 50 on March 21. Toho wasn't celebrating golden anniversaries in earnest when the other non-Godzilla members of the Big Five reaches theirs, so expect a Full Weapon Strike of merch, comics, and short films. We already know Mechagodzilla's in the next Godzilla Rivals issue, though not top-billed. Ultraman Leo, ESPY, Evil of Dracula, and Prophecies of Nostradamus also turn 50 this year.

So, what can you say about the dynamic duo Skar King and Shimo?

Out of context:

don kin kon

I drew this in March, just before going to see the Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, that's why it's kind of messy. Inspired by this image

It's curious of funny how Godzilla and Kong used to be paired with these characters, it makes sense since they're movie monsters (the mad scientist is a monster in the drawing, trust me lel). I mean that in the sense that both Godzilla and King Kong are like established franchises, with their respective movies and various versions of the same character. Monsters like Dracula, the Invisible Man, and the Mummy, on the other hand, aren't really tied to a saga and are basically reinterpretations of even older creatures or historical events, and basically anyone can use them

Although it helps somewhat that it is the Universal versions that are most remembered in pop culture. It kinda feels like, when you put together Batman, Super Mario or Homer Simpson with your own original characters lol. But in the end, every famous character was just someone's OC

Back to the movie, I think it was pretty cool. It's more of a Kong movie featuring Godzilla, but I don't really have a problem with that. Probably Scar must have been a bit bigger and more intimidating, but I guess that being with Shimo kinda fixes that. Anyway, I'm happy with giant monsters fighting

Ah yeah an Jellystone reference lol

[thecarnivorousmuffinmeta]

hi! i don't know if you're familiar with monsterverse titans (godzilla, kong, mothra etc.), do you think it's possible for them to exist in the same universe as twilight vampires? they would have been around for millions of years, probably longer than vampires have ever existed. pretty much all of them were hibernating so it's technically impossible to encounter one... at least until 1954 when the humans accidentally woke godzilla up

sure a lot of titans are dangerous but since godzilla is basically a one man volturi army but for titans, so aro wouldn't have to worry about human extinction from them

but do you think the volturi might have a branch dedicated to tracking titans' locations, kind of like monarch?

would godzilla deem vampires as threats to the balance of nature or, since the volturi basically keeps them in control, will he just ignore them and think of them as very very durable humans?

human titans. that's pretty much what vampires are. lmao.

and the cullens! can you imagine if they were unfortunate enough to be in a town where two titans picked to be their battleground? or forks. we have carlisle and some doctors and charlie and the quileute tribe hanging around post battle helping injured survivors, meanwhile edward is insisting to everyone in his family that this is absolutely an evil convoluted plan aro cooked up to... to... well he doesn't know what but it's something evil. and then it cuts to aro sobbing in the corin tower because godzilla is using the colosseum as a cat bed (and unintentionally destroying parts of it in the process)

wait wait wait, the cullens might even be able to find better prey if they move to hollow earth! Maybe the prey there would taste better over their usual 'vegeterian' choices

i will probably write the fic like you've suggested to askers many times, i'm just curious about your thoughts if you've watched the films. they've got probably one of my favourite worldbuilding lore.

also i hope you and vinelle are doing okay! i wait in anticipation for any of your stories to be updated. take your time on them though. we've been fed so much the first half of this year which has been amazing

@therealvinelle are doing fine, summering away.

And yeah, my friend, this is a "write the fic" ask, but mainly because it's very clear what you have in mind and you don't need me to say yea or nea. Have fun! Be the captain of your own adventure!

(gif credit @franzias-cave)

That said, I think it's plausible for a number of reasons. Anon's referring to the fact that most of the time someone asks "can X crossover happen" I say no because usually either a) either world would look extremely different and the crossover would not be what we would know b) one would give way to the other. Either we have our vampire overlords wiping out that other threat to humanity/the secret as they did the werewolves in the world of Twilight or the vampires never become the apex predator.

In this case, as you noted, if these creatures hibernate most of the time how the fuck would anyone know they're around? The Volturi are 3500 years old but that's nothing in the scheme of human existence let alone how old the giant lizards are supposed to be.

And that they live in the bottom of the ocean--could be just none of them have surfaced.

They can absolutely exist while the Twilight world exists.

Now upon becoming aware of each other there's a "what are we going to do about this?" but I imagine that the Volturi would let humans handle the tracking. Unless the humans are very bad at it the Volturi are busy enough if Demetri can't find where these things are.

In terms of Godzilla killing vampires... we don't know what vampires are or where they came from in the twilight world, but it seems to have been for a fairly long time. Point is, I don't think they disrupt the balance of nature by existing any more than humans do.

But yes, write the fic! You have my encouragement!
