In the first half of 2024, viewers who like monster blockbusters will be in luck.
The reason is simple.
has a fight that the whole network has been waiting for for 3 years, and he wants to show it to the audience.
Yes, Godzilla is going to fight King Kong again.
As the "monster representatives" in Eastern and Western films and television, Godzilla and King Kong each have extremely broad audiences around the world.
In 2021, the movie " Godzilla vs. King Kong " launched by Legendary Pictures will put two prehistoric behemoths together for a "peak showdown" in the monster circle.
In the film, the two monster protagonists travel through various PKs in cities, jungles and even at sea, and the fights with sparks and lightning along the way are quite explosive.
This fight was very enjoyable, but the "decided outcome" of the two protagonists at the end made netizens enjoy watching the movie and still have some unfinished thoughts.
Recently, the regrets of movie fans have been made up for.
's sequel to the series " Godzilla vs. Kong 2: Rise of an Empire" created by the original team has been confirmed to be released in mainland China on March 29.
This monster fight that the audience has been waiting for for 3 years is finally here.
So, what are the highlights of the "reunion" of this group of top monsters after returning after three years?
Let’s talk about it in detail.
01. The two monsters started a dress-up show. Godzilla’s style changed to a pink one, and King Kong turned into a handsome guy with technology.
I have to say that after not seeing each other for 3 years, the two main characters, Godzilla and King Kong, have changed.
Compared with the appearance of the previous game, the painting style of the two mythical beasts has really changed a lot.
Godzilla, the giant monster of the deep sea, has become a fan this time.
Yes, you heard it right and you read it right.
Godzilla, which has always been a macho style, uses pink to create a sense of contrast this time.
It breaks out of the ice of the glacier, exuding an evil temperament.
Not only does its outer dorsal fin turn bright pink, but its inner eyeballs are also pink when it roars in anger.
has a pink aura that appeals to his heart, and even his ultimate move "Atomic Breath" has changed from blue to pink.
It seems that in the past few years of practicing under the sea, Godzilla himself has undergone considerable changes.
This version of the brutal and somewhat "arrogant" boss brother has also attracted attention from the outside world as to how far his skills have improved.
Godzilla has changed, and his old rival King Kong is not willing to be left alone;
This time, King Kong has transformed into a cool technological handsome guy with the addition of high technology.
This mechanical arm guard, which represents human technology and craftsmanship, is installed on the body of King Kong, which represents the primitive wildness. The fusion of the two brings us a different look and feel.
Unlike previous works that used a big ax or two fists to open the way, this time with new high-tech equipment, King Kong's power will probably increase exponentially.
The same shape mutation, but whether it is the pink Godzilla or the high-tech version of King Kong, the cross-dressing show conveys an intuitive message:
They have changed, but their power has also become stronger!
02, "Double Top Stream" epic collaboration, this time they actually join forces to fight monsters
Although the appearance in the monster movie is a gimmick, the core attraction is destined to be only one:
Monster vs.
Throughout the Monster Universe series, almost Each work has a wonderful monster PK.
In the previous work "Godzilla vs. Kong", the duel between the two mythical beasts from land to sea was very enjoyable to watch.
From the domineering roars of Godzilla and King Kong in this new work, the atmosphere of collision is still very strong.
But this time, it seems that they are not the only ones participating in this battle.
Compared with the previous game, the two brothers had various frontal fights. This time they seemed to be aiming their anger at the same target.
In the footage, there is a scene of them running towards a certain target with angry eyes.
can allow the two prehistoric beasts to temporarily put aside their grudges and join forces to attack. It is obvious that the person standing opposite is a ruthless character.
Yes, it is the new villain Scar King.
Judging from the trailer video, King Scar is obviously a very repressive villain.
Judging from the setting background, it comes from the "Earth's Inner World", King Kong's hometown, and is an extremely large red ape.
The first time it appeared, it gave people a feeling of "unkindness".
Above the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, I saw it sitting domineeringly on the "throne", and the light in its eyes was full of murderous aura.
On Scar King’s shoulder is a shawl weapon composed of the trophy “monster spine”, which also shows the ruthlessness of the character.
Judging from the video, King Scar, who seems to have nothing to do with the surface world, seems to have broken into the human world in this film.
From leaving a huge bloody handprint on the mountain to roaring at the crowd on the beach, and even provoking Godzilla and King Kong to take action, it has shown its "malicious intentions".
It is not difficult to guess that the style of this three-party melee in the monster circle is destined to explode.
03. The ten-year layout of the Monster Universe has left three major highlights
In addition to the direct viewing point of the monster battle, this "Godzilla vs. Kong 2" is also an extension worth looking forward to.
In Qingshi’s eyes, there are three more interesting guesses about the plot of the film.
The first extended point of interest, where do these monsters go to fight? In the previous games of the
series, the creators constantly switched scenes to arrange the battle in order to let Godzilla and King Kong play tricks.
From cities to jungles to oceans, the footprints of monsters are everywhere.
So, are there any new tricks in the fighting scenes in this sequel?
The answer is yes.
Regarding the "battle map" of the new game, the official gave many obvious hints.
In the trailer, King Kong's technological hand stretches out from the desert. Judging from the background, it is obviously near the Egyptian pyramids.
It seems that a battle between desert monsters wrapped in wind and sand is inevitable.
And in the official poster, there is also a mystery.
In the lower right corner of the scene where Godzilla and King Kong fight side by side, there is an image of Monte Cristo, the iconic attraction in Rio, Brazil.
It seems that the traces of the giant beasts not only involve Africa, but also reach the South American rainforest. Tropical rainforest monster war is going to be arranged?
The second extended point of interest is that Godzilla and King Kong have not finished fighting, will they continue to fight?
Who is stronger, Godzilla or King Kong, has always been the suspense of the entire monster universe.
In the previous work "Godzilla vs. Kong", although there were many head-to-head confrontations between the two sides, the winner was never completely determined. In the
film, the "artificially designed" Mechagodzilla disrupts the situation and even puts the showdown on hold, turning it into a scene where the two brothers join forces to repair the disruptor.
But this reluctant temporary alliance does not mean that the two giant beasts have "turned enemies into friends". In essence, they are still in a confrontation that dislikes each other.
In this sequel, Godzilla and King Kong still have a potential common opponent - King Scar. Judging from the angry expressions of the two brothers, they have a serious debt to settle with King Scar.
But judging from their wild and out-of-control state, Godzilla and King Kong do not rule out the possibility of a potential "discussion" contest.
Whether the two monsters will fight or not is also a suspense in the second part.
The third suspense is about the plot extension of the entire monster universe;
Since Legendary Pictures launched "Godzilla 1" as a reboot of the "Godzilla series" in 2014, in the past 10 years, they have derived 5 A monster movie series.
is similar to the universe expansion of other IPs. This monster universe also has a tight and detailed layout plan.
The first three works, mainly lays out the respective character lines of the two monsters.
includes using "Godzilla 1 and 2" to introduce the origin of the deep sea monster Godzilla, and also includes launching " King Kong: Skull Island " to start King Kong.
And in 2021, the emergence of , the fourth game in the series "Godzilla vs. Kong", uses the head-on confrontation between two prehistoric monsters to officially intersect the plot lines of the first three films, and also makes the entire IP The feeling of "opening up the plot universe".
and in today's "Godzilla vs. Kong 2" , it seems to have the intention to expand the universe.
After briefly touching on the relationship between King Kong and the "underworld" in the previous work, the upcoming sequel will obviously focus more space here.
By involving the "underworld" where King Scar lives, it vaguely explains the origin of the two prehistoric monsters King Kong and Godzilla, and talks about the "underworld" chapter about the origin of the monsters.
It seems that this time, the entire Monster Universe series is expanding in a new direction.
And this also shows that the creator has more ideas about this IP.
Judging from the box office data , the audience is quite fond of the concept of "Monster Universe".
The data does not lie. After 10 years of universe development, the first four parts of this IP series have earned nearly 2 billion U.S. dollars at the global box office, and the mainland box office has also reached 3.811 billion yuan.
Now, with the box office reputation of the previous film, and the good quality of the sequel trailer, "Godzilla vs. Kong 2", which will be released in March, is expected to become the first hit movie of the year.
The "fight" between Godzilla and King Kong is getting closer and closer. Regarding this, I want to shout out the last words to many netizens:
Let's start the fight quickly, I can't wait!
