I don’t mind Kong getting attention but I just wish the same amount of development and writing went into Godzilla. It really feels like they don’t really know what to do with him as a character compared to Kong. Like this is the one incarnation where u could do a LOT with him
Exactly. Kong rightfully deserves the attention but Godzilla has been completely sidelined compared to him. Put that on top of changing his personality and boom, the rage increases.
It would be a flop if they did that and it would be another trash human focused movie with little Godzilla just like how Toho has done to the character in Past movies.
I just want a movie about godzilla fighting other Titans around the globe, visiting Rodan in the Fijji Islands an more. I can enjoy that type of movie, just like the old godzilla movies, a lot of monster fights, like king of the monsters
I think it is because of Toho being so strict with the rules, which prevents them from building any real lore around the character in the Monsterverse. If I'm entirely honest, I think the next movie will be another Kong focused movie with Godzilla as a supporting character. Matter of fact, I think it will be "Son of Kong". Wingards idea will most likely be ignored. And we definitely won't be getting another Toho Monster, we may get Mothra but that's it.
@@matteomastrodomenico1231 yeah it pretty much was I would be really disappointed if the next film is just another Kong film. Thing is Godzilla has so much more source material to draw from than Kong.
I think toho should be more calm about all the restrictions, they almost gave up from Godzilla, Legendary just gave The Big G a new life so they should be deserved to use Goji how they want
@@kasjamm To you, sure, but many, and I mean many, including the company itself (Toho) really love this incarnation of Godzilla. There is a reason Toho keeps letting Legendary renew the license (even if they are extremely strict to the same version of Godzilla that revived the franchise. Because, Toho even confirmed themselves, without 2014 Godzilla being released and kicking off the Monsterverse, Toho had zero plans to use Godzilla at all and was content with leaving him dorment)
@@juliopastor6735 They never said that. That's made up. Godzilla would have still existed without the crappy Legendary movies. The only people who like these movies are basic Americans who like garbage like the MCU.
Its all about copyright laws. Godzilla isn't cheap and Toho is vicious with lawsuits. Besides that, they rarely lend out the license for anything, except recently with a few things.
I blame Toho for this. Because getting the right to use Godzilla cost money which might be too much for the Indie game developer and there are many rules and restrictions regarding the use of the Godzilla
Agreed 💯 and ppl easily forgot that Godzilla is Toho's property and if they're getting angry over it then get angry at Toho even when I heard abt this game my first thought was atleast we're getting an official Monsterverse game
Godzilla deserves his time in the universe he started. Him getting a more dark more serious story that gives him actual depth and character development imo is long over due and I also believe it’s time we introduce a human to the franchise that is actually willing to stick with him and interact with him regular just as much Kong’s support cast does. There is so much potential with this version of Godzilla legendary has yet to explore.
I agree on that; Godzilla no longer has any human ally: the only one left, Bernie, went to Kong's side with Ilene, Jia, Trapper, so it's more noticeable to know at the end of it all, for whom they will have more importance. With Godzilla: Serisawa and Dr. Graham died, Mark and Maddison “disappeared” as well as the Chen Sisters; all the others from Monarch in KOTM, we don't know what happened to them. Godzilla needs a real human ally, like Miki Saeguza who only cares about him and tells us what he does.
I have heard that Toho meddling might be one of the reasons Godzilla's been benched since KOTM, Kong is easier to make an underdog or POV character with more of his species, Godzilla apparently has a pretty strict mandate made since Shin Godzilla and of course its incredibly conservative and rigid. Things like he can't loose and he can't emote, or he has to be the one and only member of his species. Also all the other Toho Kaiju are sold seperately, thats why Mothra almost didn't return and Rodan hasn't God I hope Toho can back off eventually. All you need do is check in if things are fine but Toho has a bad track record of playing too safe but absolutely doing nothing with their other monsters, last few films have been back to back solo Godzilla films, and one anime series that doesn't even characterize them apart from being fodder background entities.
@@LordSiravantagreed, Japanese culture is all about business, not compassion or fan service. Toho should let MonsterVerse do its own thing. They can dictate whatever they want about Godzilla but they can’t dictate about other creatures. It’s absurd.
@@brandenmarcum430 God forbid that Toho allows another company outside of Japan to fluctuate Godzilla's characterization. I really dislike how they can't another Godzilla exist in the MonsterVerse films because Godzilla himself is only known as a singular species aside from Dagon. Shimo, at one point, was almost going to be a polar variant of Godzilla's kind.
@@lordkaijux5262 regardless about what Toho says, Titanus Gojira being a confirmed species and there being MANY members is too big to be retconned. How else would Kong have gotten his axe? It can be Dagon’s dorsal plates, it can’t be Godzilla’s. There were MANY axes in the hollow earth, and Dagon died without any damage to his dorsal plates, and Godzilla kept his safe up until 2015 when MUTO Prime shattered them. It’s testament that both Dagon and Godzilla were highly skilled members of their species, Godzilla especially. If anything, Godzilla having a species would actually ELEVATE Godzilla. All these Gojira’s getting killed by the Apes, left and right, and there was Godzilla himself, about the same size as we see him pre-nuke in the monarch series, who absolutely SOLOED Skar King’s army AND trapped them. He’s like the Rambo of the Gojiras. A king amongst kings. Why can’t modern day Toho see that a Gojira species is a GOOD thing. In fact, it’s the original idea. 1954 Gojira died. In 1955, and entirely different member of the same species arose and put everyone in their place. Over the years Toho used that second member in many Godzilla films, dubbing it the “second Godzilla”. It seems as if modern Toho forgot its roots. It’s a shame. Honestly, I wish they would just sell “Titanus Gojira”, to Legendary. Let them keep THAT VERSION of Godzilla. Let them do whatever they want with it.
Thank Toho guys. Their the one thats putting all of these legal resiteictions that keep him from doing cool stuff. Example there was a list showed recentlt of what Godzilla can't such ss eat things (asbrobs energy), die unless if he has a son, and target humans etc. He was made the Zosealhaua kaiju name in GXK because Toho doesn't want him to be a species and instead a singular entity. So the space godzilla teaser was removed entirely it wasn't godzilla originally. There was concept art and a full set made of kongs and godzillas painting working together to fight a godzilla with wings.
those rules have been around for a while and haven't restricted shit, the no emotions one is stupid as he clearly shows emotion in gvk and gxk, no eating things rule has never been broken, absorbing radiation doesn't count, the fuck you mean he cant target humans? he straight does that in gvk and minus one, stop making shit up, the rules have never restricted him and they have been around before kotm, gvk amd gxk yet those movies clearly show godzilla having emotion
What I want to see is not only Godzilla as a character with thoughts and feelings and personality (like Kong in the previous instalments), but also more Gojiras in the next MonsterVerse movie.
100% agree with Jacob and all the fans... when mention monsterverse .. you immediately think of "Godzilla" he needs to be played up more and have much more screen time in his own movies.. its the only way to grow his brand.
There needs to be balance and I think Toho needs to allow Legendary to do whatever it takes when it comes to the video game side of the Monsterverse and let Godzilla star in one of the Monsterverse video games.
What really ticks me off is are the people who argue that Godzilla got 40+ movies and Kong only got 3. You seriously think people are gonna watch those old films, especially general audiences? And that still doesn't give a justified reason as to why a character should be treated less than another. Both Godzilla and Kong deserve the respect regardless of how many installments they have so we can all be happy. Now fan bases are at war with each other instead if coming closer together and the sequel is only gonna continue that anarchy.
I don’t mind Kong, it’s been pretty significant he’s been everywhere, I’m getting tired of seeing him. I wanna see more Goji, just sad this is all mostly on Toho’s part. So far Toho hasn’t been complacent with letting Legendary give the big G a much needed story arc. Especially role within the games bc they made him that expensive to obtain in the market, especially for a indie company. Honestly I think Toho is mainly making mistakes here along with Legendary unfortunately.
@@TheAntiDisneyEmperorToho has decided that Godzilla having a species isn’t allowed, because Legendary might try and make a public domain version for when their license expires.
@@MaceDeMarco2010I keep seeing this, not that I disagree, but do you have a source so I can research it? Also, I understand Toho’s perspective if they are going this route, but it’s much too late for them. Titanus Gojira is an established species in the MonsterVerse. It’s too big a detail to retcon. They’ll have to cancel the entire MonsterVerse which makes them a huge amount of money. In fact, people may protest and cancel Toho for it.
I get why fans are upset why godzilla is not being in the game Godzilla deserves a game where he goes up against a swarm of titans one by one he goes up to them to stop them and submit them that is how I would do it.
I don’t mind Kong getting the spotlight…again 😒. But I do feel the G-Man deserves better in the Monsterverse. Also this Kong game looks interesting but I’m a bit disappointed. I was hoping for a fighting game or an open world game. It’s not just Godzilla but I feel the other titans aren’t getting enough attention too. Like Mothra, Rodan, Behemoth and etc. Plus the Monsterverse has more variety than just Godzilla and Kong. But I feel like Kong is getting too over saturated and it’s getting on my nerves. The Monsterverse began with Godzilla! And yes Toho! Who would have thought because they love to keep a tight leash on not just Godzilla but his costar’s as well. Which I understand but they really need to stop that! I just don’t understand why they are so stingy?! I just hope the next Monsterverse film is good and hopefully it could lead to a new Monsterverse Godzilla game. One where you play as the G-Man in an open world RPG similar to Man-Eater. Great video again as always.
Honestly I'm fine with Kong being the centered character one, if this takes place right after GvK the big guy needs to recharge even if he wants to square up with Kong or Abbandon. Two, I also see it as a redemption for Kong especially after that god awful Rise of Kong game. Also this version of Godzilla have been in other games like mobile games as well as in that PS4 Godzilla game So I'm fine if the big G not in this game in particular.
Holy Crap, you actually posted a vid that I basicly agree with everything you said! I don't mind Kong being in the Monsterverse, but Godzilla needs to be the focus of the next movie! Toho also needs to loosen up a bit with Godzilla. We need to have a new son of Godzilla type in the Monsterverse. It would help humanize him and provide growth for his character.
George Tew, was the equivalent of Lucafilm's Pablo Hidalgo, the gate keeper of Star Wars lore... Tew is (or if he's parted company with Legendary, was), the person who ensured MonsterVerse and Pacific Rim's lore across all printed media, games and the films, connected in their respective continuities. He performed this function for at least a decade. I noticed his name was missing from the masthead credits of the latest MV graphic novel, "Godzilla x Kong: The Hunted". in his stead, he's been supplanted by a trio of new names under the heading, "Legendary Creative". Seems to me, they could take more than a few notes from what Tew did and learn from them.
Godzilla not appearing makes sense. If the event takes place right after Godzilla vs kong, Godzilla needed time to rest. That explains why Godzilla was able to one shot Scylla and Tiamat in the new empire. As well as being able to compete with Shimo. However I do hope Godzilla gets more attention in the future.
I agree with the theory that Godzilla was to exhausted to fight abaddon because of his fight with kong and getting beaten up by mechagodzilla so he let kong deal with it while he recharge and I think I might have answer to explain why Godzilla let kong be on the surface during this game while attacking him in gxk. Since this takes place after their fight kong as far as we know didn’t have any means of returning to hollow earth except for the entrance in Antarctica which would definitely be a heck of a journey to make so perhaps Godzilla tolerated Kong’s presence on the surface until he was able to return to hollow earth and thus proper boundaries could be set. I also have another theory. In gxk in Egypt when kong called Godzilla, some videos on describe that roar as being an alpha call so Godzilla would’ve believe that another titan using an alpha call was a sign of challenge rather then a call for help. Also just to know Godzilla searingly tolerated Kong on surface when he was getting his teeth fixed. And also in case anyone wonders why Kong would use an alpha call he probably was trying to make sure that he got Godzilla’s attention and despite the risk, roaring an alpha call might’ve seemed like the best option to Kong. Hope this answers questions though I do agree that kong is starting to steal the spotlight from Godzilla.
Honestly I would really like if they made somekind of open world game about being the big lizard destroying cities with realistic destruction and fighting other kaiju, it would be really fun. I am easily entertained
Its most likely TOHO's insane hold on Godzilla (im serious they're more vicious than Nintendo) so Monsterverse cant do that much with Godzilla aside from the usual fighting, keep in mind the last full Godzilla movie from legendary (KOTM) was the lowest movie in terms of ratings and finance which almost made legendary question if they should continue the monsterverse or not, So they probably dont wanna risk that again which is why they focus on Kong alot more
I'm perfectly fine with Godzilla being a force of nature. I would prefer a totally focused Godzilla movie, but then hollywood is going to try to shoehorn in plot and characters and blah blah blah. So I'm kind of happy with Godzilla showing up to kick ass and chew bubble gum, tiamat was the bubblegum now he's all out.
On the one hand, King Kong rightfully deserves the time to shine in the spotlight as of lately. The monsterverse feels like more of a victory to his character mythos than godzilla's due to how it gives a completely new take where not only he is here to stay, but finally fulfilling his heartwish of not being alone, finding a new family and even have an adopted son On the other, i agree that godzilla needs to be as equally respected. The franchise belongs to BOTH and they're the main heroes of it, not just one of them (that point in particular is important. People who say the monsterverse is godzilla's franchise cause he launched it basically saying the MCU is the ironmanverse due to it being the first film...he had the honor of opening the door for a brand new opportunity, but that's not the case here) and the aforementioned reasons of copyrights, cost and character issues are what making legendary to take the easier route with King Kong. So hopefully the issue will be fixed along the way As for the game- it might end up not even being canon or at the very least soft canon, and just serve as a tie-in standalone adventure to not mess up the continuity. Great video, regardless👍 Only thing to mention tho is that Godzilla didn't "banish" or "exile" King Kong to hollow earth as the video and some fans mention. It was a pact they made as part of their truce that each will have their territory and they won't interfere each other
Great vid! I miss Zilla ‘98 bring ‘em back!! 👑 I wish he was getting the same treatment that spino - jp3 is getting with fans now. Where people are begging for it to come back like spino in JW4. I think the Zilla design is the nicest of all the monsters imo.
I hate Toho so much. They're really that scared of another 1998 Zilla incident when Legendary did more than enough to prove how to handle the king. Just get off their back already. Nobody is making Godzilla run away from helicopters anymore.
@@thegamingbean953 i liked it too. I think it's ovethated. But Toho hated it so much they went out of their way to have Godzilla murder Zilla in Final Wars which was just obnoxious.
Imagine if GMK git a sequel. That would’ve been awesome. Because, A: they 100% left it open for a sequel. And B: they could’ve done som much with that specific Godzilla
Sorry… I just think people need to calm down. Kong has shown MUCH more willingness to assist/ally with humans compared to Godzilla. Also, Kong was on the surface for a lot longer than “one minute” in GxK when he got his tooth repaired. G didnt go after Kong until K made himself known and called out/for G. As the video said, we gotta stop being mad at groups not named TOHO, because the greed from Japan is why G is less available. Would fans prefer to go back to having ZERO monster-verse content?
If Toho aren't careful, they could end up killing the Monsterverse which in turn would be bad for Toho. They might think they ARE being careful but they're doing it wrong. Godzilla deserves better.
Godzilla is like iron man. Iron Man started the MCU, and Godzilla started the monsterverse. To make a monster verse game, sometimes you have to spend money to make money.
I don’t care if Kong get‘s the attention in a game. But I‘d be really pissed if the next film continues again with a story about Kongs path. Now it’s really time for the Big G Man.
@@-Burningzilla_YT- so...was g14 disrespecting godzilla then? Cause that movie focused more on a military solider than godzilla himself and that film came out during his 60th anniversary
@@Kaiju-bm4ts Frankly 2014 treated him like an ancient god given flesh who starts off unknowable before you realize he's benevolent, I would practically change nothing especially for the fact when you compare it with other films, Godzilla screentime in 2014 was pretty much normal amount, they simply had a lot of short skirmishes as the male and him make contact, but the latter is smart enough to know he can't risk getting caught until the female is in sight and able to support him.
In just baffles me how Kongs arc in the last three movies has all been about finding his species and in GxK he finally found his species, his arc is finally complete and now he doesn’t need to show up for a long while. Meanwhile Godzillas species has been wiped out completely and we have never seen this been brought up in any Monsterverse material, The amount of depth and humanity that Godzilla has goes so unnoticed by so many people its crazy.
What I find annoying are the fans that somehow blame this on Kong. They think that Legendary is giving Kong favoritism but that's far from the truth. This is all Toho's fault they're the reason why Godzilla doesn't get enough screentime, character development, games, and solo movies. If Toho wasn't so strict with rules regarding Godzilla then I have no doubt that we would see more Godzilla. So next time you get upset about Godzilla not getting much love don't blame Kong or Legendary blame Toho.
@@tomekbielecki738Japan enforces copyright LAWS, they don’t enforce copyright. Japan isn’t making Toho strict with Godzilla, Toho is taking advantage of Japan’s strict legal system to have a tight grip on Godzilla. Toho is 100% the ones to blame.
I love kong but I feel he’s been hogging the spotlight, since Kotm Godzilla had 1 graphic novel and kind of a show, and Kong has technically had two movies kind of and a show and now a game and a graphic novel
Sorry but I can’t respect the decision of being so stingey on the exact company that popped Godzilla back up to popularity and would rather have him disappear again
In a word, YES! I'M a big Goji-fan and as much as I liked "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire", he was hardly in the film. It is a disservice to all of the fans.
@@raiabdullah2849 Godzilla within the MV is undervalued for not occupying or taking charge over its history; outside of it in Toho, at least its other versions already have their plot and life made.
One is a atomic fire-breathing giant dinosaur, and the other is just a big monke. I can see why people are non too pleased about Godzilla being put on the bench.
@@obyaguudemba3179 I agree right issues are to blame (Toho) but I disagree than more people like Godzilla. I can also say “more people like King Kong” without providing any factual evidence. Also saying that within a Godzilla community channel really doesn’t support your claim seeing as you state it in a one sided environment.
If a Toho villain shows up and Godzilla is not the main star then Legendary gonna be taking a lot of hate from practically everyone. Kong already killed Mechagodzilla so they cannot let him be the star in a film with Biolante, Space Godzilla or Gigan. If they do and we don't get Godzilla beating them in a fair 1v1 then I'm about to get pissed
That's my problem too, I wouldn't mind Kong fighting them, but I want to see Godzilla take on and finish off Biollante, Gigan, SpaceG, Ebirah; where I would be personally upset is if they made Hedorah a villain for Kong; the pollution monster makes more sense with Godzilla because of his role in ending the balance of the Earth, and the great tribute to the late Yoshimitsu Banno, so with Kong it doesn't fit at all.
Yep, MonsterVerse Goji is becoming more of a side character than the main one. Now, I get why he's not in this game and that's cool, but come on Legendary you created this franchise of the MonsterVerse with Godzilla so why not fork over some extra moolah to be in a game and etc.
Yeah tbh Im gonna be honest I can honestly never say I’ve never have been this disappointed I’ve wanted a monster verse game with Godzilla being the main role and I see why he kinda gets a lot of disrespect but I will at least enjoy this one
Blame toho you got to remember they own godzilla and to use him in the game it would cost a lot of money i don't think an indie developer can afford to bring Godzilla in
They’re giving Kong more attention because Toho is notoriously picky with their copyright. Toho won’t make Godzilla game so get over the fact he’s not in the Kong game. They weren’t even officially allowed to do Mothra until deep into the production of GXK. Not legendary or the Monsterverse’s fault it’s on Toho and they’re allowed to do whatever they want.
I understand why people might like this game cuz I myself think it's promising too. But the amount of disrespect The King is getting really needs to be studied. Talking crap about the Tokusatsu films, being overall jerks towards anyone who isn't interested in the character, and now THIS.
Am I the only one that's starting to think that the Godzilla fanbase is getting a bit too spoiled? Also, people are blaming Legendary for Godzilla not being used in the MonsterVerse as much, yet Toho is technically responsible for that. Toho is so strict when it comes to Godzilla and their other monsters, Legendary have to follow those restrictions and pay a ton if they want to use Godzilla (or the other Toho kaiju). Kong on the other hand doesn't have those restrictions, so Legendary have more freedom and creative control, which is most likely why they've been using him more. If Toho was more lenient with their rules Godzilla would probably get more focus.
@@KingGoji-m1r3 Yeah, and it's not like Godzilla's being completely ignored either, we have the stand alone Toho projects as well. We had two different movies and one season of a tv series with Godzilla, all within the span of a couple months (and there's new projects currently in development), yet somehow that's not enough. Meanwhile Kong doesn't really have anything outside of the MonsterVerse aside from that Skull Island: Rise of Kong game.
that wasn't the point. Every time we say godzilla in the monsterverse does not have enough screen time, you kong fans bring up the amount of older movies OUTSIDE the monsterverse which is completely irrelevant to what we are saying
@@Mr.nicklepicklies I'm a fan of both Godzilla and Kong, so I'm happy to see either of them, regardless of screen time. To me it isn't really the amount of screen time that matters, but more about how that screen time is used and, for the most part, Godzilla's screen time in the MonsterVerse has been used pretty effectively, even if it is limited at times.
I'm as big a G-fan as any other, but I ain't gettin' upset over Godzilla's current status. He's being treated extremely well by Legendary, he's gotten the mainstream exposure most of us wanted, he's gained new fans, and the general audience is learning that Godzilla is awesome. Godzilla has gained the most attention he's ever gotten since the '90s. Ignored he ain't. That said, I honestly don't mind Kong being in the spotlight for a bit. In fact, it's a great thing. Unlike Godzilla, Kong never truly had a franchise to call his own, just a series of remakes of the same story with his ill-fated demise told repeatedly, and any attempt to kickstart a franchise had failed in the past until the MonsterVerse came along and broke him free from Merian C. Cooper's shadow. If Godzilla has to take a backseat for a bit so that Kong can have some room to finally be on his level, then so be it.
Those were the older godzilla movies we are specifically talking MV GODZILLA while in general godzilla has more movies then kong and screen time but does MV GODZILLA have more screen time then mv kong?

"Stop bringing up all these better movies that actually HAVE Godzilla in them and not this American knock-off!" Okay... well... in the MonsterVerse, American knock-off Godzilla has 2 solo movies and Kong has 1. Then they have 2 movies together. But okay okay, you want screentime... That I have to grant. Kong has 65 minutes of screen time in the MV films while Godzilla has 41 minutes. So to make it fair, you deserve 20 more minutes... Which would require 3 Godzilla 2014s 😆 But including the Toho films, Godzilla has 7 hours and 40 minutes.

Wait, Godzilla isnt in the game because hes tired after the events of GvK? Kong got his ass kicked and nearly died, he would need a lot more time to recover then Godzilla.
He also should be down below in Hollow Earth, thats supposed to be his new home and he's got responsibilities. If anything its even more reason for Godzilla to stay active, but they clearly can't because they need to pay Toho for every appearance.
Honestly the reasoning could be a lot of things. I think it’s a combination of TOHO and Kong just being an easier character to sell to a general population. Godzilla is a fantastic character that can be used to fit any narrative, but only when used correctly, otherwise he’s just a Doomslayer type character which isn’t bad but isn’t super fleshed out. Kong on the hand is easier to write about due to his humanity, so it’s a safer, easier option and probably less expensive as well. TOHO is also partly to blame I imagine, as their hold over their monsters is tight, and causes a lot of issues for MV continuity. Here’s to hoping that the upcoming Godzilla film really brings him back as the main guy
This is honestly disrespectful to Godzilla He's the one that started the Monsterverse Not Kong & since there Giving Kong more attention then Godzilla now is just plain right annoying.
Yeah, right after King of The Monsters he has just been put as a still valuable side character...they really focused on Kong so much that it feels like 70% of the movie is just showing King Kong and his day and life...would have like to see something like that with Godzilla...
@@Wii07ENTERTAINMENT If godzilla is the only other face of the MV then how is he a side character?

Not the only other cash cow kaiju in the MV
I’m really starting to get sick of Kong. We really need Godzilla to be the main focus again. Also, WHY THE F*CK ARE THERE SO MANY BOTS IN THE COMMENT SECTION?!

Well technically Godzilla's not entirely being ignored nor sidelined....its just that legendary dont entirely have the full license nor power over godzilla since toho are the ones with full power (due to them being the creators that started it all). And the reason why is because they're strict and dont want anyone to use their characters without permission nor mess up like what tristar did with the 1998 film with Zilla. Plus the other reason why legendary haven't fully fleshed out Godzilla's development like how they did with kong, is because.... they're still figuring out how to build up his character arc and background sure they gave godzilla personality in KOTM along with fortelling his perspective of the world that changed around him for years in the Dominion comic....but not entirely revealing his origins, So basically legendary is planning to figure out how to make Godzilla's story interesting and suitable for an installment without risking any problems with toho or their budget due to their strict rules. And just to correct the fans....just because the MV is giving kong more development doesn't mean they're ignoring godzilla nor plan to make him the new star replacement, but only making him as a equal and important character alongside godzilla. Plus, the MV doesn't belong to just one monster but both since its a shared cinematic universe filled with new stories, characters, mysteries, and lore that helps expand the franchise. So technically everything isnt going to always focus on neither godzilla nor kong like look at monarch: legacy of monsters for example 😂, In Conclusion: Godzilla's still part of the MV and always will be, its just that legendary and toho need to figure how to keep the G-man in this franchise in order to ensure that it wont fail nor cause them to go bankrupt.
I do think that Godzilla does deserve more spotlight in this game since Godzilla started the monsterverse. However, if this game does take place shortly after Godzilla vs. Kong, it would make sense why Godzilla wouldn't be active. He would still be recovering from his fight with Mechagodzilla, which would take time. It would even provide a short window for Kong to get involved. While not exactly friends at this point in the series, Godzilla might still give Kong some leeway since Kong did save Godzilla's life recently in the events of Godzilla vs. Kong, and since he's recovering, Godzilla would appreciate some help from a potential ally, at least until he fully recovers. Plus, the issue of getting the rights to use Godzilla is a valid reason for him not being in the game. Hopefully, Godzilla will get a mention in this game, or even a cameo.
Honestly it’s easier for legendary to do more stuff with Kong and new monsters than with Toho classics like Godzilla and Mothra. Also not to mention Toho’s new restrictions when it comes to how to use Godzilla, one of them being that they don’t want him as species but as a sole entity, which is dumb cause their past movies featured numerous cases of Godzilla being a species. These restrictions really make taking creative liberties difficult for future Godzilla Monsterverse films. Better to use Kong since he is originally an American made monster. Beside it feels like they are both balanced with exposure so far in the Monsterverse. Both their comic lineup are fairly balanced, kong got featured in a animated show while godzilla got to be in monarch legacy of monsters, heck we're still getting toys and figures of both monsters anyways too. If anything, they are both due for a solo film for each of them.
We did have a cannon timeline with continuity in the hesei era. Each film continued the others story and progressed to the end of that era... and it was the most popular of his lines. Outside of the monsterverse of course
It would actually be cool if we got a Kong game focusing on his time in Hollow Earth prior to the events of GxK with him fighting many Titans down there.
MV should stop adding Godzilla in title if they wanna show Kong, just run the MV without Godzilla if they think Kong can carry MV alone based on solo Kong movies. That would also satisfy these fans who think Godzilla doesn’t deserve as much as, if not more than, Kong’s screentime. He has more weightage, he has more movies and was the reason why MV was able to exist they could not have possibly made MV with just Kong but MV can still be made with just Godzilla and they would attract a lot of fans I don’t mind Kong he was an interesting character in GxK but we all know majority of fans are here because of Godzilla
Everyone keeps treating Godzilla like a mindless titan that has little to no character after 2019. And everyone treats kong like a person with tons of character/writing. If the next Monsterverse movie’s main character is Kong for the 3rd time, I will be heartbroken because Giving development to the monkey is just too much. ( too be fair, Godzilla is my favourite titan but we see Godzilla in GVK and GXK just emotionless ) Not to mention, we see little to no development, emotion, goals, and backstory to the other titans other than Mothra, Shimo, the MUTOS, Ghidorah, and Skar King. Maybe add new comics based on the G man’s backstory like with Kong’s birth. For legacy of monsters, I don’t see any character to Godzilla, Frost Vark, Ion Dragon, and other creatures. It’s just the humans who get character. Godzilla keeps getting nerfed based on character. Kong’s story is done ( I think ) and we don’t need more development to kong. Give more emotion, development, backstory, and character to Godzilla. ( this is just my opinion ) and give Godzilla some spotlight for 1 single GOD DAMN MOVIE! What I am trying to say is that Godzilla isn’t focused as much as Kong in both GVK and GXK
Toho themselves are enforcing this. They don't want Godzilla to have his own species, instead being a unique individual, they don't want him to emote, and they don't want him to have character development. Godzilla getting sidelined is because of Toho being control freaks.

Do you feel like Godzilla is being ignored?
Hmmm…Maybe🤔
Happy Tuesday everyone!
Kinda
@@Godzilla_afton_ulitmakinda is my opinion top
yea godzilla has not got a game
It's definitely about the rights. They don't want to pay if they don't have to.
I don’t mind Kong getting attention but I just wish the same amount of development and writing went into Godzilla. It really feels like they don’t really know what to do with him as a character compared to Kong. Like this is the one incarnation where u could do a LOT with him
His not here to stay
Exactly. Kong rightfully deserves the attention but Godzilla has been completely sidelined compared to him. Put that on top of changing his personality and boom, the rage increases.
@@chaneladriana6829Yes he is. He sells too much merch. What are you talking about? Lol
It would be a flop if they did that and it would be another trash human focused movie with little Godzilla just like how Toho has done to the character in Past movies.
I just want a movie about godzilla fighting other Titans around the globe, visiting Rodan in the Fijji Islands an more. I can enjoy that type of movie, just like the old godzilla movies, a lot of monster fights, like king of the monsters
I think it is because of Toho being so strict with the rules, which prevents them from building any real lore around the character in the Monsterverse. If I'm entirely honest, I think the next movie will be another Kong focused movie with Godzilla as a supporting character. Matter of fact, I think it will be "Son of Kong". Wingards idea will most likely be ignored. And we definitely won't be getting another Toho Monster, we may get Mothra but that's it.
I’m pretty sure legendary said the next movie was gonna be more Godzilla focused
GxK already was "Son of Kong"
I believe the next one is a Godzilla solo film, with a new director
@@matteomastrodomenico1231 yeah it pretty much was I would be really disappointed if the next film is just another Kong film. Thing is Godzilla has so much more source material to draw from than Kong.
Can we have a movie where Godzilla isn't treated like a guest star in his own movie?
I think toho should be more calm about all the restrictions, they almost gave up from Godzilla, Legendary just gave The Big G a new life so they should be deserved to use Goji how they want
MV Godzilla sucks though.
@@kasjamm To you, sure, but many, and I mean many, including the company itself (Toho) really love this incarnation of Godzilla. There is a reason Toho keeps letting Legendary renew the license (even if they are extremely strict to the same version of Godzilla that revived the franchise. Because, Toho even confirmed themselves, without 2014 Godzilla being released and kicking off the Monsterverse, Toho had zero plans to use Godzilla at all and was content with leaving him dorment)
@@juliopastor6735 They never said that. That's made up. Godzilla would have still existed without the crappy Legendary movies. The only people who like these movies are basic Americans who like garbage like the MCU.

Its all about copyright laws. Godzilla isn't cheap and Toho is vicious with lawsuits. Besides that, they rarely lend out the license for anything, except recently with a few things.
Toho has a strict set of rules as well

I blame Toho for this. Because getting the right to use Godzilla cost money which might be too much for the Indie game developer and there are many rules and restrictions regarding the use of the Godzilla
🎻
Agreed 💯 and ppl easily forgot that Godzilla is Toho's property and if they're getting angry over it then get angry at Toho even when I heard abt this game my first thought was atleast we're getting an official Monsterverse game
I'm very sure they have such high prices after the atrocity of Godzilla 1998 and the butchering of the character.
I wish both Toho and Legendary were more vocal at what's happening behind the scenes
@@kavuvidsNo. That's just Japanese businesses in general. They overcharge whenever international money is ever brought up.
We want Godzilla back!
I just hope Godzilla gets more screen time.
Godzilla deserves his time in the universe he started. Him getting a more dark more serious story that gives him actual depth and character development imo is long over due and I also believe it’s time we introduce a human to the franchise that is actually willing to stick with him and interact with him regular just as much Kong’s support cast does. There is so much potential with this version of Godzilla legendary has yet to explore.
I agree on that; Godzilla no longer has any human ally: the only one left, Bernie, went to Kong's side with Ilene, Jia, Trapper, so it's more noticeable to know at the end of it all, for whom they will have more importance.
With Godzilla: Serisawa and Dr. Graham died, Mark and Maddison “disappeared” as well as the Chen Sisters; all the others from Monarch in KOTM, we don't know what happened to them.
Godzilla needs a real human ally, like Miki Saeguza who only cares about him and tells us what he does.
I have heard that Toho meddling might be one of the reasons Godzilla's been benched since KOTM, Kong is easier to make an underdog or POV character with more of his species, Godzilla apparently has a pretty strict mandate made since Shin Godzilla and of course its incredibly conservative and rigid.
Things like he can't loose and he can't emote, or he has to be the one and only member of his species.
Also all the other Toho Kaiju are sold seperately, thats why Mothra almost didn't return and Rodan hasn't
God I hope Toho can back off eventually. All you need do is check in if things are fine but Toho has a bad track record of playing too safe but absolutely doing nothing with their other monsters, last few films have been back to back solo Godzilla films, and one anime series that doesn't even characterize them apart from being fodder background entities.
This is generally a problem stemming from traditional Japanese business culture itself, as Nintendo is the same exact way.
@@LordSiravantagreed, Japanese culture is all about business, not compassion or fan service. Toho should let MonsterVerse do its own thing. They can dictate whatever they want about Godzilla but they can’t dictate about other creatures.
It’s absurd.
Yeah
@@brandenmarcum430 God forbid that Toho allows another company outside of Japan to fluctuate Godzilla's characterization. I really dislike how they can't another Godzilla exist in the MonsterVerse films because Godzilla himself is only known as a singular species aside from Dagon. Shimo, at one point, was almost going to be a polar variant of Godzilla's kind.
@@lordkaijux5262 regardless about what Toho says, Titanus Gojira being a confirmed species and there being MANY members is too big to be retconned.
How else would Kong have gotten his axe? It can be Dagon’s dorsal plates, it can’t be Godzilla’s.
There were MANY axes in the hollow earth, and Dagon died without any damage to his dorsal plates, and Godzilla kept his safe up until 2015 when MUTO Prime shattered them.
It’s testament that both Dagon and Godzilla were highly skilled members of their species, Godzilla especially.
If anything, Godzilla having a species would actually ELEVATE Godzilla.
All these Gojira’s getting killed by the Apes, left and right, and there was Godzilla himself, about the same size as we see him pre-nuke in the monarch series, who absolutely SOLOED Skar King’s army AND trapped them.
He’s like the Rambo of the Gojiras. A king amongst kings. Why can’t modern day Toho see that a Gojira species is a GOOD thing. In fact, it’s the original idea.
1954 Gojira died.
In 1955, and entirely different member of the same species arose and put everyone in their place.
Over the years Toho used that second member in many Godzilla films, dubbing it the “second Godzilla”.
It seems as if modern Toho forgot its roots. It’s a shame.
Honestly, I wish they would just sell “Titanus Gojira”, to Legendary. Let them keep THAT VERSION of Godzilla. Let them do whatever they want with it.
Pls give Godzilla a spotlight
Thank Toho guys. Their the one thats putting all of these legal resiteictions that keep him from doing cool stuff. Example there was a list showed recentlt of what Godzilla can't such ss eat things (asbrobs energy), die unless if he has a son, and target humans etc. He was made the Zosealhaua kaiju name in GXK because Toho doesn't want him to be a species and instead a singular entity. So the space godzilla teaser was removed entirely it wasn't godzilla originally. There was concept art and a full set made of kongs and godzillas painting working together to fight a godzilla with wings.
those rules have been around for a while and haven't restricted shit, the no emotions one is stupid as he clearly shows emotion in gvk and gxk, no eating things rule has never been broken, absorbing radiation doesn't count, the fuck you mean he cant target humans? he straight does that in gvk and minus one, stop making shit up, the rules have never restricted him and they have been around before kotm, gvk amd gxk yet those movies clearly show godzilla having emotion
What I want to see is not only Godzilla as a character with thoughts and feelings and personality (like Kong in the previous instalments), but also more Gojiras in the next MonsterVerse movie.
100% agree with Jacob and all the fans... when mention monsterverse .. you immediately think of "Godzilla" he needs to be played up more and have much more screen time in his own movies.. its the only way to grow his brand.
4:40
I mean if Dave the Diver can get a Godzilla in game than why can’t a official monsterverse game
Like no one even has ever heard of that game and they somehow have Godzilla
Because Toho is dumb and to lazy to make a game
If they centered GODZILLA, finally would be reasonable to have the title of the movies with "Godzilla" being the first name in line
Fans of Godzilla it’s time to rise up and make are voices heard
0:35 For a moment i thought Godzilla was nodding in agreement, but no he was just smelling XD.
There needs to be balance and I think Toho needs to allow Legendary to do whatever it takes when it comes to the video game side of the Monsterverse and let Godzilla star in one of the Monsterverse video games.
What really ticks me off is are the people who argue that Godzilla got 40+ movies and Kong only got 3. You seriously think people are gonna watch those old films, especially general audiences? And that still doesn't give a justified reason as to why a character should be treated less than another. Both Godzilla and Kong deserve the respect regardless of how many installments they have so we can all be happy. Now fan bases are at war with each other instead if coming closer together and the sequel is only gonna continue that anarchy.
Godzilla has always had a niche audience. We don't want newbies ruining the character like Legendary is doing
@@kasjamm Wingard should be thanked for his interviews and the way he treated Godzilla.
The next Monsterverse flic should focus more on Godzilla.
Fingers crossed buddy. Can't say for certain 🤞
🙏🏻
Sadly the next film is GxK 3. You already know how much attention Goji is getting next to the monkey.
Nah, Kong is more entertaining to watch onscreen. Hope the screen time is evenly split or more in favor to Kong again.
@@JBrotsis1ew no
ToHo’s fault
I don’t mind Kong, it’s been pretty significant he’s been everywhere, I’m getting tired of seeing him. I wanna see more Goji, just sad this is all mostly on Toho’s part. So far Toho hasn’t been complacent with letting Legendary give the big G a much needed story arc. Especially role within the games bc they made him that expensive to obtain in the market, especially for a indie company. Honestly I think Toho is mainly making mistakes here along with Legendary unfortunately.
Studio meddling is what ruins good things.
Loving Kong getting all the spotlight. Hope it stays like this.
@@JBrotsis1 well you’re most likely gonna keep seeing people get upset about that.
@@jamesvarela233 oh well. Honestly they won’t back up their complaints. They’ll still go see the new movies even If Godzilla is in it for a fraction.

I can't say this, but your right. Given the recent news related to dagon.
@@redlinrangerstudio5331what about Dagon?
@@TheAntiDisneyEmperorToho has decided that Godzilla having a species isn’t allowed, because Legendary might try and make a public domain version for when their license expires.
@@MaceDeMarco2010I keep seeing this, not that I disagree, but do you have a source so I can research it?
Also, I understand Toho’s perspective if they are going this route, but it’s much too late for them.
Titanus Gojira is an established species in the MonsterVerse. It’s too big a detail to retcon.
They’ll have to cancel the entire MonsterVerse which makes them a huge amount of money.
In fact, people may protest and cancel Toho for it.
@@brandenmarcum430 it was in Godzilla Guy’s interview with Greg Keyes. I don’t know the exact time stamp, but it’s around the 1 hour mark.
Godzilla fans were always tired of Godzilla being a side character since the beginning and it just got worst post KOTM.
He should be the main character again tbh
Agreed. Godzilla and all the other Titans in KOTM. In my mind, it's the Kongverse post KOTM.
I get why fans are upset why godzilla is not being in the game Godzilla deserves a game where he goes up against a swarm of titans one by one he goes up to them to stop them and submit them that is how I would do it.
A Open world Godzilla game.
@@zombielizard2870 now that would be a godzilla game a lot of fans would love to play.
This game takes place after gvk
BRING BACK GOJIII
Nah
@@greatemperor2450 you misspelled "yah"
Maybe Godzilla is letting Kong fight Abbadon, in gxk instead he went on the surface and did an alpha call, and Godzilla got really mad.
I don’t mind Kong getting the spotlight…again 😒. But I do feel the G-Man deserves better in the Monsterverse. Also this Kong game looks interesting but I’m a bit disappointed. I was hoping for a fighting game or an open world game. It’s not just Godzilla but I feel the other titans aren’t getting enough attention too. Like Mothra, Rodan, Behemoth and etc.
Plus the Monsterverse has more variety than just Godzilla and Kong. But I feel like Kong is getting too over saturated and it’s getting on my nerves. The Monsterverse began with Godzilla! And yes Toho! Who would have thought because they love to keep a tight leash on not just Godzilla but his costar’s as well. Which I understand but they really need to stop that! I just don’t understand why they are so stingy?! I just hope the next Monsterverse film is good and hopefully it could lead to a new Monsterverse Godzilla game. One where you play as the G-Man in an open world RPG similar to Man-Eater. Great video again as always.
Honestly I'm fine with Kong being the centered character one, if this takes place right after GvK the big guy needs to recharge even if he wants to square up with Kong or Abbandon. Two, I also see it as a redemption for Kong especially after that god awful Rise of Kong game. Also this version of Godzilla have been in other games like mobile games as well as in that PS4 Godzilla game So I'm fine if the big G not in this game in particular.
BRO IM NOT LETTING THE BIG MONKE TAKE THE SPOTLIGHT FROM GODZILLA
Holy Crap, you actually posted a vid that I basicly agree with everything you said! I don't mind Kong being in the Monsterverse, but Godzilla needs to be the focus of the next movie! Toho also needs to loosen up a bit with Godzilla. We need to have a new son of Godzilla type in the Monsterverse. It would help humanize him and provide growth for his character.
We need Godzilla the world needs him
I think they put Kong against Abaddon because Godzilla would absolutely smack the shit out of him
That's the only in universe reason that makes scene
Considering what happened to Scylla, who's another spider-like Titan... yeah. The fight could easily be finished with Atomic Breath.
The king of the monsters deserves more attention and respect
George Tew, was the equivalent of Lucafilm's Pablo Hidalgo, the gate keeper of Star Wars lore... Tew is (or if he's parted company with Legendary, was), the person who ensured MonsterVerse and Pacific Rim's lore across all printed media, games and the films, connected in their respective continuities. He performed this function for at least a decade. I noticed his name was missing from the masthead credits of the latest MV graphic novel, "Godzilla x Kong: The Hunted". in his stead, he's been supplanted by a trio of new names under the heading, "Legendary Creative". Seems to me, they could take more than a few notes from what Tew did and learn from them.
For all we know Godzilla might be off fighting other titans while this story is going on.
Godzilla not appearing makes sense. If the event takes place right after Godzilla vs kong, Godzilla needed time to rest. That explains why Godzilla was able to one shot Scylla and Tiamat in the new empire. As well as being able to compete with Shimo. However I do hope Godzilla gets more attention in the future.
The reason why Godzilla is not in the game is because of buying rights to the character, which is expensive for the gaming company.
I agree with the theory that Godzilla was to exhausted to fight abaddon because of his fight with kong and getting beaten up by mechagodzilla so he let kong deal with it while he recharge and I think I might have answer to explain why Godzilla let kong be on the surface during this game while attacking him in gxk. Since this takes place after their fight kong as far as we know didn’t have any means of returning to hollow earth except for the entrance in Antarctica which would definitely be a heck of a journey to make so perhaps Godzilla tolerated Kong’s presence on the surface until he was able to return to hollow earth and thus proper boundaries could be set. I also have another theory. In gxk in Egypt when kong called Godzilla, some videos on describe that roar as being an alpha call so Godzilla would’ve believe that another titan using an alpha call was a sign of challenge rather then a call for help. Also just to know Godzilla searingly tolerated Kong on surface when he was getting his teeth fixed. And also in case anyone wonders why Kong would use an alpha call he probably was trying to make sure that he got Godzilla’s attention and despite the risk, roaring an alpha call might’ve seemed like the best option to Kong. Hope this answers questions though I do agree that kong is starting to steal the spotlight from Godzilla.
I blame Toho.
Honestly I would really like if they made somekind of open world game about being the big lizard destroying cities with realistic destruction and fighting other kaiju, it would be really fun. I am easily entertained
No Godzilla? No money for the game from me
Its most likely TOHO's insane hold on Godzilla (im serious they're more vicious than Nintendo) so Monsterverse cant do that much with Godzilla aside from the usual fighting, keep in mind the last full Godzilla movie from legendary (KOTM) was the lowest movie in terms of ratings and finance which almost made legendary question if they should continue the monsterverse or not,
So they probably dont wanna risk that again which is why they focus on Kong alot more
I'm perfectly fine with Godzilla being a force of nature. I would prefer a totally focused Godzilla movie, but then hollywood is going to try to shoehorn in plot and characters and blah blah blah. So I'm kind of happy with Godzilla showing up to kick ass and chew bubble gum, tiamat was the bubblegum now he's all out.
Some have bigger expectations than... almost none.
On the one hand, King Kong rightfully deserves the time to shine in the spotlight as of lately. The monsterverse feels like more of a victory to his character mythos than godzilla's due to how it gives a completely new take where not only he is here to stay, but finally fulfilling his heartwish of not being alone, finding a new family and even have an adopted son
On the other, i agree that godzilla needs to be as equally respected. The franchise belongs to BOTH and they're the main heroes of it, not just one of them (that point in particular is important. People who say the monsterverse is godzilla's franchise cause he launched it basically saying the MCU is the ironmanverse due to it being the first film...he had the honor of opening the door for a brand new opportunity, but that's not the case here) and the aforementioned reasons of copyrights, cost and character issues are what making legendary to take the easier route with King Kong. So hopefully the issue will be fixed along the way
As for the game- it might end up not even being canon or at the very least soft canon, and just serve as a tie-in standalone adventure to not mess up the continuity.
Great video, regardless👍
Only thing to mention tho is that Godzilla didn't "banish" or "exile" King Kong to hollow earth as the video and some fans mention. It was a pact they made as part of their truce that each will have their territory and they won't interfere each other
I'm just gonna believe this is an alternate universe where Godzilla is letting kong handle it I guess.
Honestly I see that happening
Probably
Great vid! I miss Zilla ‘98 bring ‘em back!! 👑 I wish he was getting the same treatment that spino - jp3 is getting with fans now. Where people are begging for it to come back like spino in JW4. I think the Zilla design is the nicest of all the monsters imo.
I hate Toho so much. They're really that scared of another 1998 Zilla incident when Legendary did more than enough to prove how to handle the king. Just get off their back already. Nobody is making Godzilla run away from helicopters anymore.
Besides, many people who watched 1998 Godzilla still loved the movie.
People say he’s GINO, but I still think he’s a unique version of Godzilla.
1998 Was actually really good anyway
@@thegamingbean953 i liked it too. I think it's ovethated. But Toho hated it so much they went out of their way to have Godzilla murder Zilla in Final Wars which was just obnoxious.
It’s all licensing problems with Godzilla and Toho. He can’t be cheap to use in the movies and being put in a game must be even more expensive
BLAME TOHO and stop acting like legendary is intentionally doing this to upset the fans.
Imagine if GMK git a sequel. That would’ve been awesome. Because, A: they 100% left it open for a sequel. And B: they could’ve done som much with that specific Godzilla
Sorry… I just think people need to calm down. Kong has shown MUCH more willingness to assist/ally with humans compared to Godzilla. Also, Kong was on the surface for a lot longer than “one minute” in GxK when he got his tooth repaired. G didnt go after Kong until K made himself known and called out/for G. As the video said, we gotta stop being mad at groups not named TOHO, because the greed from Japan is why G is less available. Would fans prefer to go back to having ZERO monster-verse content?
If Toho aren't careful, they could end up killing the Monsterverse which in turn would be bad for Toho. They might think they ARE being careful but they're doing it wrong. Godzilla deserves better.
Nah Kong can carry the Monsterverse.
Godzilla is like iron man. Iron Man started the MCU, and Godzilla started the monsterverse. To make a monster verse game, sometimes you have to spend money to make money.
I don’t care if Kong get‘s the attention in a game. But I‘d be really pissed if the next film continues again with a story about Kongs path. Now it’s really time for the Big G Man.
Its ashamed that Godzilla is being pushed aside for Kong, more so since this year is Godzilla's 70th anniversary.
thats just a disrespect on another level
And it was on the Monsterverses 10 anniversary, at least give him the same amount of screentime :/

In just baffles me how Kongs arc in the last three movies has all been about finding his species and in GxK he finally found his species, his arc is finally complete and now he doesn’t need to show up for a long while. Meanwhile Godzillas species has been wiped out completely and we have never seen this been brought up in any Monsterverse material, The amount of depth and humanity that Godzilla has goes so unnoticed by so many people its crazy.
What I find annoying are the fans that somehow blame this on Kong. They think that Legendary is giving Kong favoritism but that's far from the truth. This is all Toho's fault they're the reason why Godzilla doesn't get enough screentime, character development, games, and solo movies. If Toho wasn't so strict with rules regarding Godzilla then I have no doubt that we would see more Godzilla. So next time you get upset about Godzilla not getting much love don't blame Kong or Legendary blame Toho.

This should be the pinned comment
I love kong but I feel he’s been hogging the spotlight, since Kotm Godzilla had 1 graphic novel and kind of a show, and Kong has technically had two movies kind of and a show and now a game and a graphic novel
Sorry but I can’t respect the decision of being so stingey on the exact company that popped Godzilla back up to popularity and would rather have him disappear again
In a word, YES! I'M a big Goji-fan and as much as I liked "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire", he was hardly in the film. It is a disservice to all of the fans.

Also saying that within a Godzilla community channel really doesn’t support your claim seeing as you state it in a one sided environment.
If a Toho villain shows up and Godzilla is not the main star then Legendary gonna be taking a lot of hate from practically everyone. Kong already killed Mechagodzilla so they cannot let him be the star in a film with Biolante, Space Godzilla or Gigan. If they do and we don't get Godzilla beating them in a fair 1v1 then I'm about to get pissed
That's my problem too, I wouldn't mind Kong fighting them, but I want to see Godzilla take on and finish off Biollante, Gigan, SpaceG, Ebirah; where I would be personally upset is if they made Hedorah a villain for Kong; the pollution monster makes more sense with Godzilla because of his role in ending the balance of the Earth, and the great tribute to the late Yoshimitsu Banno, so with Kong it doesn't fit at all.
Toho is so greedy
It's less about greed and more about control. Japanese business culture is very controlling.
Yep, MonsterVerse Goji is becoming more of a side character than the main one. Now, I get why he's not in this game and that's cool, but come on Legendary you created this franchise of the MonsterVerse with Godzilla so why not fork over some extra moolah to be in a game and etc.
Yeah tbh Im gonna be honest I can honestly never say I’ve never have been this disappointed I’ve wanted a monster verse game with Godzilla being the main role and I see why he kinda gets a lot of disrespect but I will at least enjoy this one
Blame toho you got to remember they own godzilla and to use him in the game it would cost a lot of money i don't think an indie developer can afford to bring Godzilla in
I wouldn’t say he’s ignored, just not as plot relevant at the time
They’re giving Kong more attention because Toho is notoriously picky with their copyright. Toho won’t make Godzilla game so get over the fact he’s not in the Kong game. They weren’t even officially allowed to do Mothra until deep into the production of GXK. Not legendary or the Monsterverse’s fault it’s on Toho and they’re allowed to do whatever they want.
Just like Nintendo. (Sorry I just had to point that out for some reason lol)
A monsterverse tournament fighter! Think about it. So many monsters, possible DLCs, especially if toho plays ball they could get a cut of the profits!
I understand why people might like this game cuz I myself think it's promising too. But the amount of disrespect The King is getting really needs to be studied. Talking crap about the Tokusatsu films, being overall jerks towards anyone who isn't interested in the character, and now THIS.
kong getting a game is fine but why aren't we playing as him?
Am I the only one that's starting to think that the Godzilla fanbase is getting a bit too spoiled?
Also, people are blaming Legendary for Godzilla not being used in the MonsterVerse as much, yet Toho is technically responsible for that. Toho is so strict when it comes to Godzilla and their other monsters, Legendary have to follow those restrictions and pay a ton if they want to use Godzilla (or the other Toho kaiju). Kong on the other hand doesn't have those restrictions, so Legendary have more freedom and creative control, which is most likely why they've been using him more. If Toho was more lenient with their rules Godzilla would probably get more focus.
correct
@@KingGoji-m1r3 Yeah, and it's not like Godzilla's being completely ignored either, we have the stand alone Toho projects as well. We had two different movies and one season of a tv series with Godzilla, all within the span of a couple months (and there's new projects currently in development), yet somehow that's not enough. Meanwhile Kong doesn't really have anything outside of the MonsterVerse aside from that Skull Island: Rise of Kong game.
that wasn't the point. Every time we say godzilla in the monsterverse does not have enough screen time, you kong fans bring up the amount of older movies OUTSIDE the monsterverse which is completely irrelevant to what we are saying
@@SasquaDash bet if Kong had a little amount of screentime, you would be pissed
@@Mr.nicklepicklies I'm a fan of both Godzilla and Kong, so I'm happy to see either of them, regardless of screen time. To me it isn't really the amount of screen time that matters, but more about how that screen time is used and, for the most part, Godzilla's screen time in the MonsterVerse has been used pretty effectively, even if it is limited at times.
I'm as big a G-fan as any other, but I ain't gettin' upset over Godzilla's current status. He's being treated extremely well by Legendary, he's gotten the mainstream exposure most of us wanted, he's gained new fans, and the general audience is learning that Godzilla is awesome. Godzilla has gained the most attention he's ever gotten since the '90s. Ignored he ain't.
That said, I honestly don't mind Kong being in the spotlight for a bit. In fact, it's a great thing. Unlike Godzilla, Kong never truly had a franchise to call his own, just a series of remakes of the same story with his ill-fated demise told repeatedly, and any attempt to kickstart a franchise had failed in the past until the MonsterVerse came along and broke him free from Merian C. Cooper's shadow. If Godzilla has to take a backseat for a bit so that Kong can have some room to finally be on his level, then so be it.
Me, a Kong fan, with 10 movies in 90 years (half of which suck), watching Godzilla fans complain that 38 films in 70 years isn't enough...
Those were the older godzilla movies we are specifically talking MV GODZILLA while in general godzilla has more movies then kong and screen time but does MV GODZILLA
have more screen time then mv kong?
@JeshaudWalker people need to realize king kong was the first titan inspired by tomorrow to make godzilla remember kong came out before godzilla, the guy above just proved it
@@BIGSAMS21 that wasn't the point. Every time we say godzilla in the monsterverse does not have enough screen time, you kong fans bring up the amount of older movies OUTSIDE the monsterverse which is completely irrelevant to what we are saying
"Stop bringing up all these better movies that actually HAVE Godzilla in them and not this American knock-off!"
Okay... well... in the MonsterVerse, American knock-off Godzilla has 2 solo movies and Kong has 1. Then they have 2 movies together.
But okay okay, you want screentime... That I have to grant. Kong has 65 minutes of screen time in the MV films while Godzilla has 41 minutes. So to make it fair, you deserve 20 more minutes... Which would require 3 Godzilla 2014s 😆 But including the Toho films, Godzilla has 7 hours and 40 minutes.
@@Mr.nicklepicklies I'm not a kong fan, I'm a godzilla and kong fan, but it's the truth without kong their would have been no godzilla, you godzilla meat riders need to accept that fact and get yalls head out of his ass because this back and forth war of making godzilla look like a god is getting old and the tell you the truth godzilla and kong are equals and they both been beating each other up in the past
Godzilla needs his own upgraded brand new video game
Wait, Godzilla isnt in the game because hes tired after the events of GvK? Kong got his ass kicked and nearly died, he would need a lot more time to recover then Godzilla.
He also should be down below in Hollow Earth, thats supposed to be his new home and he's got responsibilities.
If anything its even more reason for Godzilla to stay active, but they clearly can't because they need to pay Toho for every appearance.
And Godzilla banished Kong to the hollow earth, of he was fighting topside, like this game shows, Goji would show up to execute him nearly immediately
he was swinging around at the end of gvk like he was fine so no
@@sentientmustache8360 yet godzilla only came after him when kong either got too close to his territory or when kong did an alpha roar
We really don't know anything so far
Honestly the reasoning could be a lot of things. I think it’s a combination of TOHO and Kong just being an easier character to sell to a general population. Godzilla is a fantastic character that can be used to fit any narrative, but only when used correctly, otherwise he’s just a Doomslayer type character which isn’t bad but isn’t super fleshed out. Kong on the hand is easier to write about due to his humanity, so it’s a safer, easier option and probably less expensive as well. TOHO is also partly to blame I imagine, as their hold over their monsters is tight, and causes a lot of issues for MV continuity. Here’s to hoping that the upcoming Godzilla film really brings him back as the main guy
But the game takes place before GxK....I'm so confused.
@@technoraize2715 can't you read ? he said gxk not gvk so kongs not on skull island
@@Thatonegodzillaandfnaffan exactly hes in the hollow earth
For me, Goji IS the main reason I love these movies. I like Kong and all, but Godzilla is the main draw for me. He is after all King of the monsters.
This is honestly disrespectful to Godzilla He's the one that started the Monsterverse Not Kong & since there Giving Kong more attention then Godzilla now is just plain right annoying.
Yeah, right after King of The Monsters he has just been put as a still valuable side character...they really focused on Kong so much that it feels like 70% of the movie is just showing King Kong and his day and life...would have like to see something like that with Godzilla...
@@technoraize2715 Fr he has been a side character since GVK
@@Wii07ENTERTAINMENT If godzilla is the only other face of the MV then how is he a side character? That's like saying bumblebee is a side character next to optimus in transformers despite both prime and bee are the mascots of that franchise. A side character would be methuselah, amhuluk, behemoth. Not the only other cash cow kaiju in the MV
Kong getting attention is disrespectful to Godzilla?
Y’all have to realize that toho is the main one in control of this toho is not gonna let Godzilla be in the game unless they say so
In gXk it felt like the only reason Godzilla was in the movie was to help Kong beat skar
I’m really starting to get sick of Kong. We really need Godzilla to be the main focus again.
Also, WHY THE F*CK ARE THERE SO MANY BOTS IN THE COMMENT SECTION?!
Agreed
There exists almost 40 godzilla movies quit crying.
And if you’re thinking monsterverse only he just got a solo live action series. Not only that but Godzilla has been in every MV except Kong skull island.
@@dom9300 godzilla has not gotten a solo film for a while now. Kong is done!
@@dom9300
G’14: main focus was the MUTOs
KOTM: Godzilla and Ghidorah’s rivalry was main focus
GvK: main focus was Kong’s side
MLOM: Main focus was humans
GxK: Kong main focus
@@TheOrcaBossand don’t forget the animated series where Kong was the main focus too
We need Godzilla. The World needs him.
We're getting a literal Monsterverse game atleast it's something better than nothing ppl should look forward to it
Well technically Godzilla's not entirely being ignored nor sidelined....its just that legendary dont entirely have the full license nor power over godzilla since toho are the ones with full power (due to them being the creators that started it all).
And the reason why is because they're strict and dont want anyone to use their characters without permission nor mess up like what tristar did with the 1998 film with Zilla.
Plus the other reason why legendary haven't fully fleshed out Godzilla's development like how they did with kong, is because.... they're still figuring out how to build up his character arc and background sure they gave godzilla personality in KOTM along with fortelling his perspective of the world that changed around him for years in the Dominion comic....but not entirely revealing his origins,
So basically legendary is planning to figure out how to make Godzilla's story interesting and suitable for an installment without risking any problems with toho or their budget due to their strict rules.
And just to correct the fans....just because the MV is giving kong more development doesn't mean they're ignoring godzilla nor plan to make him the new star replacement, but only making him as a equal and important character alongside godzilla.
Plus, the MV doesn't belong to just one monster but both since its a shared cinematic universe filled with new stories, characters, mysteries, and lore that helps expand the franchise.
So technically everything isnt going to always focus on neither godzilla nor kong like look at monarch: legacy of monsters for example 😂,
In Conclusion: Godzilla's still part of the MV and always will be, its just that legendary and toho need to figure how to keep the G-man in this franchise in order to ensure that it wont fail nor cause them to go bankrupt.
I do think that Godzilla does deserve more spotlight in this game since Godzilla started the monsterverse. However, if this game does take place shortly after Godzilla vs. Kong, it would make sense why Godzilla wouldn't be active. He would still be recovering from his fight with Mechagodzilla, which would take time. It would even provide a short window for Kong to get involved. While not exactly friends at this point in the series, Godzilla might still give Kong some leeway since Kong did save Godzilla's life recently in the events of Godzilla vs. Kong, and since he's recovering, Godzilla would appreciate some help from a potential ally, at least until he fully recovers. Plus, the issue of getting the rights to use Godzilla is a valid reason for him not being in the game. Hopefully, Godzilla will get a mention in this game, or even a cameo.
Honestly it’s easier for legendary to do more stuff with Kong and new monsters than with Toho classics like Godzilla and Mothra. Also not to mention Toho’s new restrictions when it comes to how to use Godzilla, one of them being that they don’t want him as species but as a sole entity, which is dumb cause their past movies featured numerous cases of Godzilla being a species. These restrictions really make taking creative liberties difficult for future Godzilla Monsterverse films. Better to use Kong since he is originally an American made monster. Beside it feels like they are both balanced with exposure so far in the Monsterverse. Both their comic lineup are fairly balanced, kong got featured in a animated show while godzilla got to be in monarch legacy of monsters, heck we're still getting toys and figures of both monsters anyways too. If anything, they are both due for a solo film for each of them.
Thanks, Toho, for gatekeeping 🙄
We did have a cannon timeline with continuity in the hesei era. Each film continued the others story and progressed to the end of that era... and it was the most popular of his lines. Outside of the monsterverse of course
It’s not an issue. Godzilla has had almost 40 films in 70 years. Kong has had 13 in 91. This is Kong’s first actual hayday. Let him have it.
It would actually be cool if we got a Kong game focusing on his time in Hollow Earth prior to the events of GxK with him fighting many Titans down there.
Godzilla is to op that's one of reasons why he's not here he would just beat everyone up.
MV should stop adding Godzilla in title if they wanna show Kong, just run the MV without Godzilla if they think Kong can carry MV alone based on solo Kong movies. That would also satisfy these fans who think Godzilla doesn’t deserve as much as, if not more than, Kong’s screentime. He has more weightage, he has more movies and was the reason why MV was able to exist they could not have possibly made MV with just Kong but MV can still be made with just Godzilla and they would attract a lot of fans
I don’t mind Kong he was an interesting character in GxK but we all know majority of fans are here because of Godzilla
Everyone keeps treating Godzilla like a mindless titan that has little to no character after 2019. And everyone treats kong like a person with tons of character/writing. If the next Monsterverse movie’s main character is Kong for the 3rd time, I will be heartbroken because Giving development to the monkey is just too much. ( too be fair, Godzilla is my favourite titan but we see Godzilla in GVK and GXK just emotionless )
Not to mention, we see little to no development, emotion, goals, and backstory to the other titans other than Mothra, Shimo, the MUTOS, Ghidorah, and Skar King. Maybe add new comics based on the G man’s backstory like with Kong’s birth. For legacy of monsters, I don’t see any character to Godzilla, Frost Vark, Ion Dragon, and other creatures. It’s just the humans who get character.
Godzilla keeps getting nerfed based on character. Kong’s story is done ( I think ) and we don’t need more development to kong. Give more emotion, development, backstory, and character to Godzilla. ( this is just my opinion ) and give Godzilla some spotlight for 1 single GOD DAMN MOVIE!
What I am trying to say is that Godzilla isn’t focused as much as Kong in both GVK and GXK
Toho themselves are enforcing this. They don't want Godzilla to have his own species, instead being a unique individual, they don't want him to emote, and they don't want him to have character development. Godzilla getting sidelined is because of Toho being control freaks.
Godzilla didn't have much character before either.
"He protects natural balance" was really the only thing that defined him.
@@matteomastrodomenico1231 ah understand it’s just that it’s been a while since Godzilla interested me
Still don't get this idea that the movies don't feel connected to one another.
And it definitely doesn't seem something the lore handlers could fix.
