Re: Godzilla vs. Kong Discussion Thread - FULL SPOILERS AHEAD
It's fun to watch the fandom burns after Adam Wingard's commentary was released. Kong fans are angry that he devaluated Kong's power too much, and even Godzilla fans became angry that he turned Godzilla's character from a protector of natural order into a baddy(well, some people now tend to even describe Godzilla as an A-hole) who bullies poor, weak Kong.

I agree with all of Wingard's commentary though. I think his intentions were pretty neat. I felt he really considered a lot of things to make this movie as entertaining as he can. What he mostly care about is "entertainment". It's funny that people already enjoyed the movie and praised Wingard and then how they changed their positions completely and now even hate him all because of this commentary LOL
And there is a common misunderstanding that Wingard really has a disrespectful viewpoint on Kong and he is clearly Godzilla biased but that's not true.(Well, some Godzilla fans however are saying that Wingard was disrespectul for Godzilla that he changed his character to a bully LOL)
This is what he said in the commentary:
"I knew that Kong is gonna be the main character of the movie. I love Kong. In many ways I prefer Kong over Godzilla. I think he is such a cool character. I knew that he needed to have his own victory. But I knew Kong's victory gonna be the Rocky victory. You don't actually have to win to be a winner. It's about not giving up and Godzilla respects that at the moment. I think there is a genuin moment of respect of Godzilla and Kong in there where Godzilla sees Kong is not gonna give up."

Re: Godzilla vs. Kong Discussion Thread - FULL SPOILERS AHEAD
Honestly, I have zero interest in Wingard's thoughts on the actual fights. I'm WAAAAY more interested in the tidbits he gives about how different the original cut of this movie was. Like, apparently at one point Godzilla attacks a Monarch base in the original version? And what we had heard about it originally being Lind's fiance who dies instead of his brother, and semi confirmation that there was a whole filmed sequence for it was true?
The impression I'm getting is that the original cut was even more different from the final film than even the novelization is. It seems the novelization is just representative of what the film was reshot to before it was cut further by 30 minutes, not what the original film was pre-reshoots.
God, I hope someone's manages to dig up the original shooting script...

Watch this from 1m35s
I think he is talking about this scene. And I guess this footage was reused for the scene when Godzilla blows up some trucks and people at APEX, Pensacola.

Just conjecture, but that would jive with the bit at the end of KOTM where the newspaper said Monarch was building a mechanical Titan under Skull Island or whatever if was.vastatosaurus wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 7:21 am

Re: Godzilla vs. Kong Discussion Thread - FULL SPOILERS AHEAD
Honestly big props to Wingard for his honesty. This commentary could’ve been a fluff piece but he was frank and real. That part where he agrees that Godzilla’s head is too small, and that in hindsight he would’ve made it bigger, is the kind of thing you don’t always get from filmmakers.

Yup, this is it. Finally decided to unsub from r/monsterverse for good because goddamn is that place a dumpster fire.
All it took was one out of context clip from a directors commentary to exacerbate that dumb little feud going on over there

What's even the point of a MonsterVerse subreddit when there's already a Godzilla subreddit?
A guy who randomly stumbled upon this place one day, invested much too much time into it, and now appears to be stuck here for all eternity..and strangely enough, i do not regret it!

Re: Godzilla vs. Kong Discussion Thread - FULL SPOILERS AHEAD
So to throw the Kong fans a bone and help the equal argument.
Kong in this movie is basically in the same position Godzilla is in kotm.
Kong could have submitted to Godzilla just like Godzilla could have submitted to Ghidorah but they both refused and fought on anyway.
Godzilla had Mothra and Kong had his axe. Even when it seems they were down for the count they still refuse to submit and eventually they rise and become Alphas.
Godzilla is a more clear cut victory and Kong's is symbolic but both are the same endings in a way.

How accurate was Warstu on GVK again? Cause I forgot if he was one of the ones who had legit leaks?
I ask cause: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6cIuamTyE ... e=youtu.be
Been off and on for awhile came back and good god the heck happened in r/Monsterverse?? I mean it’s so toxic you need a hazmat suit!
I jumped in on something and it was like all the worst fans or non-fans suddenly appeared. Yikes.
Gonna avoid there until it’s less the way it currently is.
Also r/Godzilla is just as bad if not worse honestly, just the folks there send nasty private messages.
Anyway been talking to Keyes on Instagram and he is kinda an awesome guy!

Re: Godzilla vs. Kong Discussion Thread - FULL SPOILERS AHEAD
Oh just glanced at trivia notes for Godzilla vs Kong digital and saw that among scenes that were cut was one of Jonah and several of his men being killed by Apex soldiers to get at the Ghidorah head. Hm which counts are more canon then? The novelization or deleted scene? Also it sounded like a scene that had Serisawa senior in it was cut.
