Shots cut from this video: • Deleted and Alternate ...
The MonsterVerse hasn't been getting much love on this channel. So here's this. The idea for this animation came from a chat with another fan where we discussed how Zilla could be made useful again. Godzilla 1998 still remains a highly popular movie among certain international audiences, making Zilla a viable monster design with underutilized market appeal. So I imagined a scene between Kong and Zilla that became the basis for this video... ironically that scene doesn't actually appear in the final animation. I also wanted to use Zilla as a stand-in for the bipedal meat eating dinosaurs Kong has traditionally fought in some of his older films because Zilla is a monster Kong could realistically beat even without his ax.
This video doesn't follow any MonsterVerse continuity, it's just a fantasy scenario that could be set sometime after the events of the film Godzilla vs. Kong, as Kong explores his new home in Hollow Earth. Instinctively, he begins looking for potential threats when he senses the smell of reptilian monsters, one of which could be the Zilla, a species that evolved with the general outwardly characteristics of Godzilla's species in order to fool and frighten tougher but less intelligent monsters. They are Godzilla imitators, but smarter monsters can tell that they are very different.
I imagined they could live around the "gravity inversion" areas of Hollow Earth where their agility and speed lets them take advantage of the low gravity conditions and the rugged terrain to perform stunts no other monsters can do. As they're powerless, they use camouflage and confuse their enemies with flashing colors and swift jumps, and they perform mock attacks to measure up their foes' strengths and weaknesses. But they are at a disadvantage in open spaces where they can't rely on Hollow Earth's inverted gravity.
I also thought the glowing rocks or mountains could store some vague form of energy that certain monsters can absorb. In GVK, when Godzilla fired his breath into Hollow Earth or when Kong charged up the throne room, perhaps they unwittingly ignited some long-dormant energy reserves in the Earth's crust and raised unexpected monsters from their sleep. Perhaps even the nuke detonated in King of the Monsters could have lead to an unforeseen chain reaction that affected an undiscovered pocket in Hollow Earth, and it also disturbed the monsters who lived or hibernated there.
Point is, I wanted to include flashy lights in the animation and this is my justification for them. Both the rocks and even the air around them have become volatile thanks to this burst of energy, causing sparks or lightning-like discharges to erupt, which is also a callback to Kong's electric powers from the original King Kong vs. Godzilla.
One of the awakened monsters could even be a juvenile member of Godzilla's species, thought long lost during the ancient conflict between Godzilla's and Kong's kind. A few eggs have survived, hidden in deep crevices where the Hollow Earth energy kept them alive in suspended animation. With Hollow Earth re-energized, some of these eggs gave life to new Godzillas, like the little purple female seen here. Knowing the threat that adult Godzillas pose, the residents of Hollow Earth have set out to hunt them down while they can.
Kong interacting with a baby Godzilla is a good way to give character to the monsters without making them too human, or without tarnishing the mysterious nature of the adult Godzilla. Their bond could even end the conflict between the species, and eventually her and Kong could establish a "dual monarchy" in Hollow Earth.
My main idea for the video was Kong getting caught in the gravity inversion barrier, desperately trying to "swim" in the air as Zilla lunges back and forth between the bottom and upper grounds and strikes him with each jump. But the fight choreography didn't work out. The monsters' actions guided the course of the fight rather than me, so in the end I didn't get to animate this scene. The monsters' movements and the fight's length also needed to be timed to the music, which complicated things further and forced me to tone down some of my original ideas.
A lot of animation had to be cut or redone, at times I had to delete several weeks' worth of work. A short video like this should only take a one or two months to animate, but it ended up taking nearly four months because I kept going back and forth on several scenes. I also realized giant monsters floating in the air look very silly, so I kept these kind of scenes to a minimum. Some shots still look ridiculous or awkward, but I just didn't want to redo them because I already wasted too much time.
I hope those of you who have been asking for more fight animations will find this at least moderately entertaining and won't experience all the headache and frustration I felt for months while I was making this. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Kong protecting the baby Godzilla is pretty wholesome.
I know, any animation that shows how soft hearted Kong is automatically takes the w in my book
Definitely a reference to God of War because Kong has an Axe.
@@jessemillan1385How does have Kong with an Godzilla Axe relation with Kratos Axe?
@@EdicionesRandom2023 It is a buff, giant and bearded ''guy'' with an Axe protecting a child, how does not?
🔥🔥🔥
The fact this man has a channel older than pewdipie, markiplier, jacksepticeye etc is just crazy and that hé is still going with the same funny video’s just shows how much people and vrahno care about this amazing channel.
I think his channel was owned by somebody else, or he owned this account before.
Yeah he’s got one of the oldest channels
@@GalaxyYT-no he made the pirakha rap video
Very few people like Godzilla so that’s why he has few subs unfortunately
@@GojiBall-ZThe Godzilla vs Kong trailer alone has over 100 million views so that's unlikely
With Zilla's ability to burrow and can climb, he'd actually be perfect for the Hollow Earth. have him written as a new species of Godzilla that emerged after living for so long in the Hollow Earth. they sacrificed power and size for speed and agility, becoming small in frame to fit in tight spaces, and to climb in complicated terrain. this suits Zilla perfectly.
And considering how Zilla in the movie breed in huge number, they seem to come in pack, quantity over quality
@@hafirenggayudathey could do this canon in the next movies
I always imagined zilla as a more "primitive" ancestor or cousin of old godzilla. The less upright posture, more animal like movement and faster reproduction always gave me the idea that zilla was based more on surviving species rather than a ruling one
I love this
Or or have him evolve from the skull crawlers
Zilla would be an excellent addition to the MonsterVerse, though I would lean more towards Zilla Jr from Godzilla: The Animated Series for his better abilities, intelligence, and resilience. He'd effectively be the cheetah to Godzilla's lion and would make a great counter to match Kong's speed and agility.
Same here bro
He just needs an original name.
@@morgothfromangband6082they can just call him Zilla since he's technically be a subspecies
Well, zilla is usually american so it would pretty much make sense.
More leopard than cheetah. Leopards are agile, fast, can climb, and are intelligent. Cheetah's suffer from anxiety. Sad to say.
The use of the Hollow Earth gravity was BRILLIANT! A wonderful animation as always!
Edit: Jesus, that’s a lot of likes
432 likes but no replies? Lemme fix that
@@MrMinusYT much obliged
dont let it get to your head
@@mexalcorta good point
Easily the best fan-animated MonsterVerse product I've ever seen. Well done!
Certainly an awesome piece.
I'd say slick I'd better with 2d while vrahno is better with 3d
hell no lol
Not really
Ya know, I've never been a big fan of Zilla as a... Well, as a Godzilla. But the idea that it uses its natural agility in tune with the gravitational flux of Hollow Earth is a fascinating idea.
In the Monsterverse Skull Island comic, one of Kongs titles is "The Mountain who Thunders Death"
I think this video perfectly encapsulates that feeling.
I actually really like the idea of these two fighting. Both are monsters that originally had no intention of harming humans. With
Kong being brought to New York against his will, and Zilla being created by accident. Both were eventually killed by the military, and both are at similar power levels.
Edit: how did this turn into a bunch of people arguing about lore and power scaling? This is kind of sad tbh.
Actually monsterverse Kong is powerfull than Zilla
You’re thinking of King Kong.
Kong from Monsterverse is entirely different, especially since he’s never been to New York
@@pedropaulocarvalho4554Movie Zilla sure, cartoon it would be a pretty even match.
@@akirandrake414 Kong fought with legendary Godzilla, it's another level for Zilla
@@RebaHashiri I supposed you’re right. Usually I just group Monsterverse Kong with the other versions. Sorry about that.
the inclusion of doug makes this a 16.4/10 animation
The inclusion of two Dougs makes this a 32.8/10 animation.
It's a cute little gag, but I honestly don't understand all the Doug love I hear and read from the Kong/Godz fandom. It's hardly an original or impressive monster design.
@@danieldickson8591 It's an adorable little guy who just wants to eat and chill. In a world where giant monsters are stomping around human cities trying to kill each other or end the entire world, Doug is pretty special.
@@convergence9042 It's like the dodogama from Monster Hunter, people love the chonky passive hungry lil dude.

That’s what i said DARN IT
@@rexyzilla9340 good for you

@@hex8787 I know
I love the use of the electricity effects here. Made Kong look so much more threatening.
I love the idea of Zilla being some sort of relative to Godzilla that lurks within the Hollow Earth.
Edit: I love the concept of Kong looking after a baby Godzilla as well. It’s like a “Son of Kong” story with a very clever atomic twist! It’s also very fitting, since the original working title for GxK was “Son of Kong”. I honestly hope that something similar like this happens in “The New Empire”.
Or maybe a subspecies or cousin, like Doug.
Or a related species like Crocodiles and alligators or wolfs and coyotes.
Me too
@@carbootstudios2459 Most definitely a subspecies. The Netflix Trilogy Godzilla had Zilla and Biollante as subspecies of Godzilla Earth after all in the novels.
@@ManSpider92 There were novels based on the Netflix Trilogy movies? Are they better or worse than the movies?
I love the fact that zilla is sorta like a hollow earth godzilla,and yes I accept him as a godzilla,also team zilla!
Go Zilla Go!
isn't a hollow earth godzilla, literally godzilla and his species itself?.
@@alisonlawwell I think he means zilla evolved in *only* the hollow earth and Godzilla evolved in the hollow earth and above
how about Doug? I think it's more likely his version of how Dagon(Godzilla species) was created from living inside those lightning producing mountains but because they're extinct other creatures get to lived there too and then boom, Zilla and Doug exist
@mfirdanhb dagon's just another member of godzilla's species, it's his own name, their species are called "Titanus Gojira"
I love how Kong just protects Godzilla jr
Ok I have to admit, this would be a cool ass way to introduce Zilla into the Monsterverse.
Toho and Legendary give this guy funding to make this a series. I promise you it'll be a smash hit
I'll never understand why Toho refuses to capitalize on the fan creator's talents but instead produces lackluster animated series? Rockstar and Activision hired fan modders and even Toei hired fan animators.
idea is good but then we all have to pay to see it
@@toonsnake8290 i would pay to see this good stuff
@@toonsnake8290 honestly, id pay to see even better fights animated like this
@@gojiboiyee2820 i would to if i could
I like the shot of Kong looking down at baby there as they prepare to face off against what life is going to throw at them. Pretty damn cool fight choreography as usual. That is a cool battlefield to have a kaiju fight that is for sure.
Man the fact kong was protecting the baby godzilla was so wholesome
Honestly that's an awesome idea for the hollow Earth's "dinosaurs" that Kong can face.
Reading the description i realize that this didn't turn out totally how you wanted it to, but i think you should be really proud of what you created. this is incredibly well done. The camera angles fit the monsterverse style so well too! Lovely work as always vrahno.
Creators often see flaws in their work compared to their intentions, which the audience never notice. Fretting over that is an occupational hazard.
looooved all the little effects and details that went into this one, great job as always!
hello there Capi😃
This man is definitely going to react to this masterpiece! Enjoyed this video and will likely enjoy yours, Capi.
Wow capi is react ??
Wowo🎉🎉🎉
Again, no words to describe the respect and admiration. Not only youve played with awesome ideas, but you actually show the basis and reasoning of the creative project, wich I find the best of all. Its so, SO sweet to read you justifiying all the elements, logic, details and enviroment of the scene, even some facts that are in the plot but are just merely teased by the imagery. Congratualtions and thank you for your outstanding work, I really adored your description about the elaboration of the animation. As an amateur editor and big admirer I encourage you to maintain more material in the future and leave even the shots or sequences that you feel out of tone (even when I know how excruciatingly stressing it is to acomodate image and music alltogether for a satisfying diegetic effect), because weeks worth of this marvelous and high quality work are too frustrating to remove, and they will amaze your fans anaway even if you see them unnecesary from the creator perspective!
On the last note, can we give special recognicion to the fact that Vrahno ACTUALLY USED THE CHANCE of developing an awesome kaiju fight in hollow earth to give the place some actual passion and life, as opposed to GvK?
I actually like that idea of Zilla's being Godzilla copy cats. It's actually quite common in nature for different species to look like a more dangerous one. Look at baby cheetahs. They look almost like honey badgers as a way to ward off some predators since honey badgers aren't afraid to fight back.
This animation was nothing short of cinema. The movements, the choreography, the writing & the usage of Hollow Earth'a environment made this such an amazing experience to watch. The story was also endearing, and the models were expressive & animated wonderfully. Simply a spectacular animation, dude! Here's hoping you have a good day
Anyone else notice the reference to kong waving at zilla's jaw?
Peter Jackson King Kong
@@pedropaulocarvalho4554 no I think he did it in the og King Kong to
@@waterwolf4061 Yes, Peter Jackson copied that gesture from the original 1933 film.
@@danieldickson8591 I new it
@@danieldickson8591 Homage, not copy.
Love Kong helping out baby Godzilla. It would be so cool to see something like it in the monsterverse. Kong just has those protective dad vibes going for him that it just makes sense for him to be doing this
I LOVE this~! A perfect way to bring Zilla back into the fold without making them a joke. Plus, you gotta love baby Gojira hiding behind Kong, what an adorable little critter~!
Honestly, Zilla could really work in the monsterverse films as a subspecies to Gojira who evolved to be smaller and more nimble with complex hunting packs similar to Wolves rather than the solo apex big bulky predator Godzilla himself is. Would be a nice niche for Zilla to cement itself within the community after years of being "Worst Godzilla" which, imo, I don't believe to be true.
In terms of evolution, Zilla doesn't need to be a "subspecies" of Godzilla. They could be distantly related species from a common family, like lions and cheetahs, or even as distant as smilodons. Or they could be the result of convergent evolution in which completely unrelated species develop similar physical features, like birds and bats.
Saw the fight, I knew Zilla would’ve been defeated, but Zilla still gave a good fight.
That was also the lamest version of Godzilla from that movie in 1999 I believe haha but yea we all knew Kong would win especially protecting lil legendary Godzilla 👍🏻
Animated Zilla does have atomic fire breath, but if Kong can keep hold of his axe he could neutralize it.
yeah, common Zilla L.
very sad. he was put too far ahead of is league for a fair match-up.
This is so badass! This use of the hollow earth gravity and Kong fighting zilla to protect a baby Godzilla is also awesome!
Kinda bummed Kong didn't fight three Zilla's at a time like the Percy Jackson film, but the little details made this pretty good to watch. Love the use of Hollow Earth's weird gravity physics for the monsters to get around.
I appreciate your constant inclusion of classic monster themes, this time being Kong's. And MY GOSH THAT GOJI JR IS SO CUTE!
Zilla would probably be one *hell* of a threat to Kong in the Hollow Earth when you think about it
His son would be even worse. But junior has a soft spot for other species that don’t threaten him.
Only if they scaled Zilla up to the size of Monsterverse Kong, as Vrahno has done for this video. Or kept his smaller movie/TV series size but allowed more of his siblings to also survive, so they could attack Kong as a "pack."
Bruh, Kong protecting the baby Godzilla is so wholesome
Man that's awesome! I love the idea of two warring Zilla factions and especially kong's instinct to protect anything smaller/weaker than himself, even if it is a zilla. AND WE GOT DOUG!
It's nice to find someone else that thinks a MV version of Zilla should be a Godzilla imitator and not a relative, I love Zilla but I thought the fanbase collectively wanted him to be his own separate monster. Also amazing stuff as always! Loved all the cool effects and the use of the gravity inversions from this fight.
Unironically would be so neat if Kong found and adopted a baby Godzilla in canon.
Like rumor has it a "Son of Kong" movie is coming up, or is being worked into GxK. It's probaby a baby Kong, but man would it be neat if it were a baby Godzilla.
Man this feels like an original trilogy god of war cutscene, choreography feels good and the vibe is perfect for Kong. He feels really brutal in this.
I really love how Zilla is put in this animation as a subspecies of Godzilla from Hollow Earth, just like Doug for example ( i love it's appearence in the video btw ), Zilla lost but he still had a good fight, tho I hoped it used its beam a little bit.
He’s back with another awesome kaiju animation.
I love the inclusion of the Hollow Earth's zero gravity into the fight, that was always something I'd like to see a battle play out in since GvK introduced the concept as it feels like something we haven't seen before in a Daikaiju battle. Let's hope the official Monsterverse takes advantage of that when The New Empire comes out.
0:52 Damn, my boy Zilla pulled a xenomorph move on him.
We need to see more baby Godzilla and Kong videos. This one was so sweet and funny and I loved how Kong protected baby Goji.
this man's channel is the best resume for kaiju fight choreography I've ever seen
Impressive as always! Excellent fight choreography (including the use of the hollow earth gravity), lighting, sound effects, and music choices.
Honestly, I like everything you do, fights, or no fights (your YT awards series is incredibly funny and thought-provoking). Just don't let those idiots from the annoying side of the community get to you about "not enough fighting 😢".
Zill being in the Hollow Earth does make sense and this is wild love the fights this is movie level stuff keep up the great work man.
The creativity in this is off the charts. The facial features of the kaiju are just incredible
That thumbnail is just perfection
Who are you for?👻

Dude please keep making more fight animations like this, you’re so good at it. This was really well done. However, that does suck that you had to delete a bunch of animation. Hopefully that doesn’t happen for you again in the future. You’re one of my most favorite animators, keep up the great work.
i like how you made zilla a chameleon whenever he gets hurt because he has an ability to change colors
2:58 Looks like Meat's back on the menu boys!
The Doug in top: I was just kidding this is all for me now find your own food
I love how Zilla did not have any ranged attacks, since the fire breath was just a coincidence in the movie, and that makes this whole fight really fair and intense. Zilla's agile and sharp melee weopons faces Kong's toughness and fatal punch, both of them put a really good fight.
The only thing that I expected didn’t happen is Zilla dug out from the ground and ambushed Kong, but it was replaced by the hollow earth sky-ground ambush, which is actuality a really impressive move.
I didn’t expect to see someone making Zilla fight Kong, but now here i am, appreciating your creative and high-quality work.
Good animation…
But that music tho
4:02 =👌😍😭🌹
It’s from the Godzilla Island intro full music
They both follow the same pattern but to me the it sounded like the musics were performed by two different people
Some serious "Dad of Boi" energy I'm getting and i like it
Same here!
2:32 Live Doug Reaction
You know, I never considered the idea of Zilla being in the hollow earth, but that little acrobatic bastard would be an absolute menace with that weird gravity
Absolutely amazing! I can't imagine how much work that must have taken for such realistic action, constantly changing and interesting angles as well as all the sound tie-ins. Yeah, Zilla may not be regarded as an acceptable "Godzilla", but, he is a really gorgeous kaiju design, and definitely deserves more screen time. Cool to see him in action like this; that sort of fluid fighting suits his build. Cool idea too to have Kong protecting a young Godzilla or Godzilla Jr. (whoever it may end up being). So cool - thanks for sharing it with us, and look forward to all your stuff. ^_^
Absolutely amazing work! Your animations are so lifelike and well animated, literally one of the best fan animators. I love how I can almost feel the impact of the kaiju's attacks. I myself am a huge fan of Zilla and I FREAKING LOVE THIS. Zilla measured up pretty well against Kong...well atleast in the lower gravity areas of the Hollow earth, but still.
This was just awesome with Kong protecting that cute, little Gojira from Zilla. Definitely one of the best animations I’ve ever seen; this channel’s been around the block a time or two.
I i think what's so impressive about this sequence is how you established the pathos of the characters so quickly, i love everything going down between kong and little godzilla. And also your use of the environment, I was hoping for crazier hollow earth stuff in the movie, and you served!
The baby Zilla trying to charge it's atomic breath was too adorable.
G-98 (zilla) he will win!
❤❤❤
(At least I hope so)
Incredible animation work man! Fantastic fight choreography and I love the little baby Godzilla meet up and the Doug cameos. Looking forward to seeing the deleted scenes, your hard work is greatly appreciated!
Kong protecting baby godzilla is adorable 🥺
02:38
Ooh that must be bleeding alot from zilla dorsal spine
Kinda sad to me that Zilla lost, since his snarky, sarcastic, insulting nature makes him my favorite of your characters and the model is just gorgeous with his chin. Also the egg power is hilarious, Zilla is like a jumbo Kazooie. This doesn't even make sense to me, why was Zilla trying to cannibalize the little Godzilla? Anyway, beautifully animated as always, just a bit disappointed Zilla didn't win.
Fairly sure this is disconnected from his more comedic video's continuity.
its lovely how Kong protects a baby Godzilla
Kong's expressions are top notch, amazing job!
3:54 kratos and the kid🌚
You know, you kinda predicted how Kong would meet a young titan while armed with his Battle Axe, despite it being a Godzilla rather than a Kong, still such a foreshadowing!🦖🪓🦍🐊
1:53 jaws 4 roar?!
zilla approaching kong at he beginning after baby zilla flees is like a monster hunter/metroid boss intro and i LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT
i love the role reversal of kong being the physically stronger one and having to fight a more agile opponent
The best story ever. Godzilla is a baby, and Kong has to save them from Zilla.
From humor to fights, this guy has everything, if Toho doesn't hire you it's because they're afraid of success XD
The fact that this could be something canon, and be a way to introduce G-Junior is amazing.
I swear you have some of, if not the best Kaiju battle animations ever. I hope you decide to make more in the future
Team Kong!
WHERE GO
This is truly awesome, I love the story, Kong protecting a baby Goji, the physics of hollow earth, and the fighting. Fantastic stuff. Thank you for bringing this into the world. You rock![
Really like the concept of zilla with a camoflaging ability. Nice touch of it going haywire when he didnt have anything to camoflage with
Baby Godzilla and King Kong, the team up we didn't realize we deserved
Another amazing animation Vrahno, bravo, really love the subtle story telling, use of the environment, the visuals, and that conclusion, all of it is chef's kiss
Now that’s just heartwarming 3:37
A few minute long TH-cam animation better than the whole of that Kong game that came out😂
This is a huge step up from the last two monster brawls, in that it has some unique story elements going on. I love the reveal of the baby Godzilla and how Kong wants to protect it. Keeping in mind Kong doesn't know about the war between their kind, if this were ever to get a sequel Kon or baby Godzilla finding out could make for a good twist.
Little Goji becomes the Boy to Kong's Kratos.
Honestly, I feel like a fight between a pre-monsterverse King Kong and Zilla could actually be fairly even.
LOVE this! Really enjoyed the visual storytelling here.
This was badass . Its epic seeing Monsterverse Kong fighting Godzilla 1998 . I also loved to baby Goji^^
Thanks for another amazing animation from you! Even with the issues you encountered on the way, you did it! Remember not to stress yourself out too much, this project must have been a real pain in the ass from what you’ve said.
I’m really hoping to see a stronger bond between Kong and little Godzilla and future videos. They seem like a great team together.
This is awesome. I would love to see more monsterverse animations if you have the time. I love that baby godzilla. I would love to see the complete unit that it would turn in to.
I watched this several times. I really enjoyed it and thank you for putting Doug in there .
This is a great example to show how powerful Kongs Strength is. He was also Protective of that young one. Lovely Kaiju Fight animation ^^ 💜
Another splendid animation you created Vhrano. I didn't expected to see a lil Godzilla in the vid, but it made it even better for Kong to become a guardian for another youngling. Looking forward to another fight video. I also like the remix for the 1962 King Kong's theme for the battle.
Gorosaurus, old friend, you have been avenged.
I never have enough of Godzilla 1998 fighting! he is so unique with a very interesting style of fight that any scene with him is amazing!
Kong playing with Zila's dead jaw...classic!!
