Kong: Skull Island - Part 1

[Boom]

who's monarch?

Organization that monitors kaiju activity. They were in Godzilla.

Basically, it's the SHIELD of this shared monster universe they're trying to get going.

 

[Manofplastic]

lol, that'll get the conspiracists going nuts.

 

[Sleiek]

Smart they are tying Monarch into this.

You know what, I am intrigued by the new Kong. 4 Days I am gonna wait and see.

 

[Arachnerd]

Godzilla was pretty much the catalyst to Monarch's creation when he was awakened in the Pacific, so it is intriguingly cool that they also know about Kong and the island.

Although how they know about it remains to be seen. Still think John Goodman's character is somewhat associated with them.

That can't be correct, though i can have things mixed up i must say, my mind leaves me with open holes regarding the godzilla movie, and the kong stories.

Supposedly THIS KONG movie takes place in the 70's during Vietnam.
The Godzilla events took place in modern day events.

That means KONG takes place BEFORE Godzilla.

please enlighten me where i'm missing crucial information.

 

[JtheDreamer]

Notice the fur is black, not brown.

There's brown in there too. It's clear they're paying homage to a different earlier incarnation (can't remember the year).

He also looks more ape than gorilla now.

Monarch was created during the 50's when they stumbled upon Godzilla, right? It's not just background information, it's told to us in the Godzilla movie by Serizawa. The organization was created because of Godzilla's awakening in that time period.

In Kong: Skull Island, it's still active and they, as of a yet unknown reason, know about Kong and the island.

I haven't really been following this, so forgive me for asking what may be an obvious question-- Did the original King Kong (or some version of those events) happen in this universe, and this is Kong 2.0? Or a total reimagining with this being the only Kong, and Darrow and New York never happened?

 

[Arachnerd]

It's a reimagining, yeah.

 

[titansupes]

^ Cheers.

 

[Arachnerd]

No prob, dude.

[Arachnerd]

That first gif.

Kong is gonna be one visceral motherf***er.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

That trailer is so close I can taste it!

Glorious footage.

 

[Inhuman117]

and if you look glosely at the gif you see Kong has a Huge Scar on the side of his Belly can't wait to see that monster who did that

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

He does indeed! Looks like a claw scar to me.

 

[Inhuman117]

yeah i hope they show the monster behind it in the trailer

 

[Gold Samurai]

This is incredible!

 

[Consona]

That Kong!

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

yeah i hope they show the monster behind it in the trailer

They won't. I'm pretty sure that monster that did that to Kong is dead. Kong would have annihilated him.

ah yes i now remember, it was on the blue atoll nuclear tests, right?
I was confused with the insect-like monster, but now that you mention it, yeah. thanks.

The opening credits of Godzilla shows that the government and Monarch have known about Godzilla since the 50s.
