Godzilla vs. Kong Trailer, My Thoughts

Godzilla. King Kong. Two of film's most famous and beloved giant monsters. In 1962, they faced off in the Toho film King Kong vs. Godzilla. It left fans of both monsters hungering to see a rematch between the two. In October 2015, Legendary Pictures announced that Godzilla and Kong would face off again as part of their MonsterVerse. And now, nearly sixty years since their last face-off, we're going to see round two in the form of Godzilla vs. Kong. This film is the 4th MonsterVerse film, the 12th King Kong film, and the 36th Godzilla movie. Let's look at the trailer!

Was that Mecha-Godzilla?

Aww, Kong's taking a nice nap. Sleepy gorilla, happy gorilla...

She's a human, he's a giant gorilla. How does the parenting situation work?

"So, we're going to drag this little kid away from her home because she has a connection to the big gorilla who we want to fight the big lizard-dragon-dinosaur."

Love that shot of Godzilla's dorsal spikes/fins popping out of the water. Also, you can tell something is off. In the previous Monsterverse movies, Godzilla tried to avoid ships when he swam or warn them off.

"YOU WOKE ME UP, YA SCALY JERK! COME UP HERE AND GET YER WHUPPIN'!"

BAH GAWD ALMIGHTY, KING! WHAT A RIGHT HAND FROM KONG! HE STAGGERED GODZILLA!

Ooh, Godzilla surrounded by neon. Looks cool.

Kong's got a hammer! Or an axe, I think. Either way, it's a great subtle link to Kong: Skull Island. It shows that whereas Godzilla tends to lean on brute force, Kong is a thinker.

Also, a war? Did Godzilla encounter others of Kong's species before? I mean, Skull Island did establish there were other "Kongs" before this one. 

Thought that was Rodan for a second there.

Neither does Godzilla, lady.

BAH GAWD! HE BLOCKED THE ATOMIC BREATH! HE BLOCKED THE ATOMIC BREATH! THAT BIG APE IS BRINGING THE HAMMER DOWN! 

That...was...AWESOME! Oh man, this was so cool! I loved the previous Monsterverse films, so I was already excited to see Kong and Godzilla meet. But now...I am MORE excited. I cannot wait to see this movie. I don't care if it's at a theater, or on my TV. I want to see this movie! I hope I do get to see it in a theater, though...
