So a Kong vs. Godzilla trailer dropped on the Internets...
So... it looks like the plot of the story is... King Kong is fighting Godzilla. There actually appears to be some really in depth subplot regarding King Kong bonding with a little girl, Godzilla going violent, unknown triggers of why Kaiju be acting crazy, and egregious amounts of lore about Godzilla's and Kong's species and them being the last of their kind, all presented by a semi-star studded international cast of characters replacing the similar roles of characters from the previous films were couldn't be re-signed or killed off or simply forgotten already. All of this content which no one really cares about might take up most of the movie but thankfully as the trailer helpfully illustrates, there will be at least some monster vs. monster action.
They'll fight on an aircraft carrier. They'll fight in a city. They'll fight in the gentle rain of conventional explosives. The trailer is so helpful it'll even show us how King Kong can negate that Godzilla Atomic Breath which you'd think could one shot any giant ape and reveals King Kong will use his Great Weapon proficiency which maybe unlocked later in the film. Thank you for that trailer and you can thank me for telling you all this as well.
With all that said, the trailer looked 'cool' but then again Monsterverse trailers always look cool. I'm fairly underwhelmed, not due to the Monster Action, but because of what seems like will be another meandering plot populated with annoying humans. Now I KNOW all of the classic Godzilla movies have even more annoying human sub plots sometimes ranging from cool to campy, but Toho Kaiju movies are their own things. I don't mind a story with my Monster flicks, but the story should facilitate and heighten the enjoyment of what should be awesome monster brawls... IMHO.
The film, being Warner Bros/Media, will be released in theaters and on HBO Max on an expected release date of May 21st, 2021.
