Hi
I’ll think about doing that later.
@@kingshadow8782 Wassup!
@variant Hey there thank ya very much:)
Dear@@varianthave you ever heard of this old Giant Monster Comic Book called Konga🦍
Idc about Godzilla's hype or what his fans think. King Kong is a legend. His strength, majesty and intelligence are gold.
Fax💯Kong🔛🔝
Godzilla is the Superman and Kong is the Batman of the Monsterverse. I never actually thought of it that way.
And mothra is the wonder woman
Except Kong has super strength around Godzilla's level
I love the respect for Kong in the comments he’s one of my favorite monsters too 🦍.
Mine also.
King Kong 2005 is my fav version of Kong and favorite movie he’s in mostly cause I grew up watching that the most. Especially all the island stuff, I must’ve watched that Kong dinosaur fight a billion times as a kid. So it still holds nostalgia in my heart.
He was awesome in Godzilla vs Kong movie
Definitely. 🤘
@@variantqueen Kong
They made him weak, dumbed him down and had Godzilla bully him the whole movie
Kong is the true king! 👑 king of the beasts and the eighth wonder of the world!
Kong didnt submit. Bows to no one 🤙🏽
You're goddam right
Damn right he doesnt
Absolutely! He never quit!
Fax💯
Monarch:Legacy of Monsters was better than hoped for, or expected. Great characters and not overreliant on the Kaiju. I can't wait for more.
King Kong is legendary same with Godzilla
So, both King Kong and Godzilla evolved from brutal villains to anti-heroes and then to heroes in the movies.
Catwoman: "Welcome to the club boys."
Let's be real, Godzilla would never have been created if it weren't for King Kong.
I’m such a Godzilla fan, I ignorantly never considered the fact that King Kong came out long before
Kong is the OG Kaiju
This new King Kong is way bigger than any other Kong.💪🏾🏆
1962 Kong is bigger than 2017 Kong
Monsterverse King Kong has the best design. I'd just wish they made him stronger and stop having to rely on humans
@@Tribrid-zv3nq Amen to that 💪🏾🤣
Brother, Kong didn’t yield at all. He literally roared right back at Godzilla a few seconds after.
That was my favorite scene!!! He was looking back in disgust until he snapped 😡
@@omarbrooks9265 indeed 💪🏿
Kong would rather die than yield or bow to Godzilla or any other Titan which is why I think Godzilla begrudgingly respects him.
@@lktzu2821 Indeed. Both are great characters
I like how they are portraying Kong as the captain America of the monster verse. These other titans are stronger but he’s the glue that holds the stuff together.
He is the Batman of the Monsterverse to me. No special abilities or superpowers but he is intelligent and resourceful enough to hold his own.
Yes
Also, Kong bows/submits to no one. He has never bowed to Godzilla in the Monsterverse movies and from GxK's ending, he doesn't expect anyone to bow to him either. He treats everyone fairly.
You seem to be forgetting "King Kong Escapes" (1967), in which Kong's opponent is Dr. Who (Not the one with a blue police box), and a Mecha-Kong.
As always, thank you so very much for the videos.
I love the first Kong movie, like Godzilla, I think the first movie is a wonderful combination of Story, and characters. Like Godzilla, I appreciate all the Kong movies, and Kong adjacent movies, (Including, "Mighty Joe Young" (1949), "Half Human" (1959), "Ape" (1976), "Queen Kong" (1976), "Rampage" (2018),) that followed but most of those I think of as "Giant Ape fun", versus being actual classics.
Kong is the King of Kaiju and thats from a Godzilla fan, he was first and most impactful.King Kong is an American Icon on the level of Elvis Presley and Mickey Mouse.
Naw. Godzilla is king
@@ironwez20Worldwide yeah, but Kong is king in America
Kong is king not gayzilla
Gayzilla is the king of a small pond name toho while kong is the king of the endless ocean name Hollywood
He's the original king no doubt😊
But now Godzilla holds the title of King of the monsters while King Kong still didn't lose his own crown
Kong is not the biggest, strongest or most powerful Titan but he makes up for it by being the smartest. He uses his environment to his advantage and is capable of expressing compassion and empathy. That's why he is my favourite "Monster"/Titan.
I still remember the one from the 70's.. Who Knows the name of King Kong 🦧 he's 10 times as big as a MANNNNN! It was a cartoon
It was one of my favorites
Just saw the new movie and had the same thought of Kong being like Batman: he gets a “Robin” in this movie and the bad guy is lanky and appears purple under certain lights 😂
Just like Godzilla has atomic breath and go nuclear, What would happen if Kong had abilities beyond Just anything a regular ape can do?
Throwing ish
I saw the movie yesterday and it is amazing and Kong get's a massive push in this
GXK is just Kaiju Fun. Luv'd it! 🦍♥️🐉 🇵🇭
This is amazing
As much as I love Godzilla and him having a lot more movies than Kong, Kong is the GOAT of Kaiju/Titans of the Monsterverse and is the most relatable and human of the Titans not to mention despite not having dope abilities he has the most heart out of them all even more so than Godzilla👑💯
I thought I knew everything about King Kong but becoming a green lantern tbh that is a new one
Keep up the great work guys.
You forgot Chipmunks at the Movies: Kong. That was my first exposure to King Kong.
Can you do the history of magneto, gambit, judge dredd, Cassie hack, qwenpool, hit monkey, vamperrella, moon girl & devil dinosaur and league of extraordinary gentlemen please
*Team* *Godzilla* *or* *Team* *Kong?*
Hmm.. 🤔 That’s a tricky one for me to answer. I grew up loving both since I saw King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) on TV back in 1987-1988 when I was about 7.
Now I think Godzilla is cooler. He’s really a kaiju that Kong wasn’t intended to be back in 1933. The original King Kong stood at 25-30 feet. OG Godzilla ‘54 or Minus One G23 at 164 feet would just step on Kong to kill him if he stood at 25-30 feet like he did in 1933 and 2005.
If let’s say I’m a toy collector, I would pick Godzilla. He’s the more interesting creature to collect toys of. And I know a lot of guys when they were younger enjoyed dinosaurs when they were little kids, so Godzilla is like the ultimate dinosaur to them. He’s this atomic-breathing dragon with Jaws-like dorsal plates.
However, I did grow up watching more Kong movies as a kid as it’s catered more to American audiences. I saw the 1976 and 1986 movies of him as a child. King Kong Lives actually made me cry at the end as a kid. I saw the 2005 movie in the theater. I frequented Universal Studios Hollywood many times and would see Kong every time I took the tram tour. I would see a Kong sign at the CityWalk.
It’s tough for me to choose. Can I just say I’m on both teams or I’m neutral? I did order hats from Redbubble which says Team Godzilla and Team Kong which both arrived on the same day. I’ll wear a Godzilla shirt with a Team Kong hat. Or I’ll wear a Kong shirt with a Team Godzilla hat. I have their 2021 figures standing next to each other on top of a shelf in my room.
If you put a gun on my head and I had to choose only one, then it’s probably Kong. He does have the better personality. He’s a nice guy. He didn’t want to see those other apes enslaved and getting beaten. He also can connect with a human girl. If both existed in the real world, I would rather have Kong protecting me than Godzilla. I think you could at least rationalize with Kong. While Godzilla could go berserk and kill every living person in the world.
Godzilla is the more powerful ally to have. Who wouldn’t want him as your protector? He has an atomic breath that Kong lacks. He’s bigger and stronger. He heals faster. He can live and fight underwater. But it may come with a price if you don’t know how to control him. Kong has a conscience. He’s easier to control. And I believe it’s easier to be friends with Kong.
I could eat bananas and smoke weed with Kong. We’d share laughs together and we share the same taste in hot blonde white women. While Godzilla would literally smoke me with his atomic blast. I thought about the late Koko the gorilla that could do sign language. Godzilla x Kong being more of a Kong movie like Godzilla vs. Kong was makes a good prep for the next Planet of the Apes movie.
I thought when Godzilla charged at Kong in Egypt, it was a dick move by him. Kong wasn’t looking to fight and where’s Godzilla’s gratitude after Kong saved Godzilla’s life against Mechagodzilla from 4 years earlier as GvK was set in 2024 and GxK is set in 2028? But I did grin when Godzilla performed a suplex on Kong. That was fun. And I did enjoy Kong using Suko as a weapon. It’s the campy and super cheesy Showa era done in modern times.
It’s pretty obvious Godzilla would destroy Kong in a straight up fight but that doesn’t mean I enjoy Godzilla more as an actual *character* with multiple layers to his personality. It’s like Batman v Superman. I’m a Batman fan all the way. But I know he has no shot at beating Superman unless he had Kryptonite gas as seen in the 2016 movie. If Superman wanted to kill Batman, he would use his red lasers and Bruce would instantly be dead.
Even in the good Godzilla movies from ‘54 or -1, what complex personality did Godzilla ever have? Yeah, it’s probably Team Kong for me or at least during the last two MonsterVerse movies. But I do prefer Godzilla slightly more overall since I’m one of those guys who grew up loving dinosaurs as a kid. Now if I had to choose between watching let’s say Godzilla Minus One or King Kong (2005)? I would choose KK05. That Peter Jackson movie might be over 3-hours but it’s highly rewatchable.
Good thing I like both Godzilla and Kong, so I don’t really care. It’s like flipping a coin. I’m not a one-sided, one-dimensional fanboy. Enjoy them all. I enjoyed Sega and Nintendo when they went at it in the 90s. I’m also a big fan of Mechagodzilla and he’s kicked Godzilla’s ass several times in previous movies. Mechagodzilla has defeated Godzilla the most among G’s opponents.
People making a big deal on how a Godzilla film finally won an Oscar but King Kong films already won four of them. And the original 1933 King Kong film is considered one of the top 100 greatest films according to AFI back in 1998 and the updated list in 2007.
Oscar Wins -
King Kong (1976): 1
King Kong (2005): 3
Godzilla Minus One (2023): 1
Wikipedia about King Kong (1933) -
The film became inspiration for other similar monster films like Mighty Joe Young (1949) and Godzilla (1954). Godzilla was inspired by King Kong's popularity in Japan and the film revived and reconfigured parts of the King Kong story more powerfully than any other film has. RKO theatrically re-released King Kong for the last time in 1956.
Gojira means gorilla 🦍 and whale 🐋. No Godzilla without the inspiration from King Kong. It’s Kong who is the OG and Godzilla being the copycat. During the 1960s, Godzilla was not as popular as King Kong even in Japan. Hence, why Kong defeated Godzilla in the 1962 movie. Godzilla started off a heel until his 5th film which was against Ghidorah.
Kong = superior *character*
Godzilla = superior kaiju/monster/fighter
Godzilla V Kong as it not only features my other favourite Kiju Godzilla, but also it’s almost Basically BVS but with Kijus and as a special bonus. That Mecha Godzilla really Reminds me of an alternate version of The Green Dragonzord especially with that spinning Drill Tail of his. Which is kind of funny as The Green Dragonzord was Obviously Inspired by Mecha Godzilla.
I bums me out they took away his electrical powers. If Godzilla can have radioactive breath king should have an energy based power too.
Godzilla is Superman
Kong is Batman
yes I said it, Kong won't get any upgrades because he is supposed to be the Batman of the monster verse
Brilliant.
Kong's not the only one with an awesome animated series. Rolan Emerich's Godzilla may be a flop, but it gave us the dope Godzila: The Series.
2005's King Kong also gave us some dope Video Games.
With the release of the X-men 97 series, Are you going to do history of Bishop, Madelyn Pryor and Changeling?
We need some kind of fan fic with Kong on the planet of the apes!
OH OH AH AAH🦧🐒🦍!
I haven’t seen most of the cartoons for kong but the new Skull Island I have seen and it is pretty good
big monke, very cool
Given the success of the Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong comic and of Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire I’m really hoping James Gunn decides to make Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong into an Elseworlds animated movie!
King Kong (1933) & King Kong vs. Godzilla will always be amazing (thank you dad for showing me this movies), but Godzilla x Kong and the monsterverse I could show my dad how these mighty kaiju / titans evolved through out the years
8:40 He battles 3 V-Rexs, not 2 T-Rexs
Always love your view on comics bro and movies bro! Thank you for making these videos!
So that means that Godzilla is the Superman of the monster verse🤔
Yes, Godzilla is Superman and Kong is Batman. They have the same dynamics.
Kong went from a chubby ape to a buff chad
Kong is the real and og king of the monsters and now after gxk he is the king of the titans
The one with Jack Black is the best
Nice
I remember that cartoon. I loved it too
What do you think is the best thing about Kong? Which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best?
Love both king kong and godzilla looking forward to seeing the new film in the monsterverse its so cool it would be awesome as of they made an animated series based on the justice league vs godzilla vs kong comic I would definitely watch that show
Can you do history of the Elementals, Cyclone and Sandman along with Kurt Conners the Lizard, Rhino, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with the Tinkerer, Alistair Smythe the Ultimate Spider Slayer, Living_Brain, and Prowler?
Kong. The real king of the monster
Since you did the history of Midnight Man, Are you going to do history of other Moon Knight villains like Arthur Harrow, Shadow Knight, Bushman, the Zodiac Cartel, Stained Glass Scarlet, Moon_Shade and the Sun-King?
How long till you do history of the Thunderbolts and the Young Avengers since they're slowly forming in the MCU?
Andy Serkis didn't only appear with Kong , he WAS Kong
We need Godzilla next
you missed a kong cartoon from the "70's" simply called "King Kong"
The 2005 King Kong movie broke me 😢
I grew up watching the original King Kong 1933 movie which got me love him and Godzilla.
My favorite animated series on King Kong are Kong The Animated series and the Skull Island series on Netflix.
Did I mention Kong The Animated series has a badass theme intro. It would've been cool to the series cross over with Godzilla the animated series in an animated movie.
I wish Playmates would make Mechani Kong from King Kong Escapes(1968) my favorite kong movie!
Please note the Blue Oyster Cult "Godzilla" tribute to our favorite giant nuclear lizard.:)
King Kong will bing bong ya.
I remember as a kid watching Peter Jackson's King Kong, and all I felt was bad for kong, its amazing i was 5 when it came out and some how I understood that
Man... the disrespect of the Tokusatsu genre, I SWEAR TO GOD!
I grew up with 2005 King Kong and I didn’t know he public domain
History of motra next please please
The 8 Kings from Toriko would fit right in in this universe!
King Kong greatness
i need a video of Shimo, i just got introduced to Shimo from this movie
hmm I don't think that's the 2017 Kong movie poster at 8:49 lol
If King Kong is Batman then Mothra is Wonder Woman and Godzilla is Aquaman
Godzilla is Superman.
I would agree only if he could fly however he can not fly
When are you going to do history of Clea, America-Chavez, Speed and Wiccan in honor of the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?
My Favorite Giant Movie Monster 🦍🦍
So how long till you do history of Arno_Stark Iron Man, Ezekiel Stane, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, War Machine and Pepper Potts AKA Rescue?
You forgot about the 1966 Kong animated series
Kong is King!
Hey arris when are you going to upload a video about justice league vs godzilla vs king kong thats related to batman making his own mecha godzilla??
How about history of godzilla in next video
They already made one a couple of years ago
The movie was awesome
Check out King Kong the animated series 1966
What all villains does Kong have besides the skull devil from Kong Skull Island? What do you think he's going to be like when he fights the Scar king in Godzilla X Kong a new empire?
Long Live The 👑😎
Can King Kong absorb lighting or any electricity?
Lackluster. Not touching on King Kong Escapes, King Kong 70's and its sequel (as ridiculous as it was) means a video called the History of Kong isn't quite so.
Disappointed to not see a mention of King Kong Escapes nor an in depth mention revisit of Kong 1976 or King Kong Lives… Cheesy as those are, anyone growing up in the 1980s remembers those films fondly.
👑🦍
Could you do a history of Magneto, please 🙏?
I’m going to hold out ranking Skull Island since I need to rewatch it again. I did watch the first 10 minutes and it makes a lot more sense after seeing Monarch.
Here’s my problem with Godzilla x Kong: I didn’t think Godzilla had one BADASS moment in the movie. He became Barbie pink Evolved and what happens when he tried blasting Skar King? He missed while Skar King became Sonic the Hedgehog and did the spin dash around Rio. I wanted Godzilla to be the big hero at the end but he became mostly a diversion for Shimo. Suko saved the day? SMH.
Honestly, Godzilla hasn’t kicked ass since KOTM 2019 after he became Burning Godzilla. He has played second fiddle to Kong’s journey in the last two MV movies. Add the fact Godzilla can be quite a dick! That’s ok for me considering Michael Jordan is my idol and he’s a dick. And I prefer Tony Stark over Steve Rogers but I know Tony was a dick.
Who decided to pick a fight with Kong in the 2021 movie while Kong was in chains? Godzilla. Who wanted to pick a fight in the latest one? Godzilla. He’s a major asshole in these movies. He doesn’t want to team up or work with anybody. It’s dick move after dick move from Big G. Add the fact Godzilla is an interesting monster to follow with interesting designs, but he’s not necessarily an interesting character.
I honestly didn’t understand Godzilla killing the MUTOs in 2014? They were a couple trying to take care of their unhatched babies and were not trying to hurt anybody. Rooting for Godzilla is rooting for Biff Tannen to beat up George and Marty McFly. He’s a big bully and asshole. Kong needed to carry the movie once again because Godzilla has as much personality as Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees. He’s a big brute who kills.
Maybe that’s why the human characters suck in most of his movies because Godzilla is really a bore and can’t carry a movie for most of his movies. This doesn’t change the fact that I still enjoy Godzilla. I own two versions of him as a toy: Art Spirits 3.5” G89 and Hiya 7.4” G21. I just wanted more out of Godzilla in GxK. I didn’t want him to be another supporting character to Kong like he was in the previous one but it was predictable he would be. Kong is the superior movie character with the superior personality.
Dan Murrell did this epic ranking list of 45 movies between Godzilla and Kong you should check out. It was fairly predictable which one would go No. 1. Actually his top 2 were fairly predictable and I wouldn’t argue against Minus One and Gojira. But I was a little surprised he ranked King Kong 2005 at 17th.
MonsterVerse Ranking (w/o Skull Island)
1. Godzilla vs. Kong
2. Godzilla
3. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
4. Godzilla: King of the Monsters
5. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
My favorite King Kong is the one in 2005! 👍
Why not show footage from the original when giving the synopsis? That was odd.
Which movie did a great job in portraying kong?
I hope they can expand on the already cartoonish Kong and Godzilla universe with more cartoonish elements, the people just want some dumb action and some big animals.
2:03 Basically, it's Australia
HELL YEAH FOR KONG THE ANIMATED SERIES
