So logically, when you dramatically change the design it doesn't look like Kong. There is plenty of room for creativity within the frameworks of what King Kong can look like, but you gotta respect those frameworks because otherwise you have a Gino situation where the design misses the mark quite a bit. Godzilla has an easier time than this because hes a totally fictional character based on a totally fictional design. Kong was designed as a big Gorilla so he kinda will always have to represent that in some form in order to be recognizable.
And yet people are fine with designs like Godzilla Earth, Godzilla Ultima, Shin Godzilla, and Anime Ghidorah. All of which are a far cry from their original counterparts.
that's because Godzilla's a much more flexible character, design-wise, than Kong. Kong's always been a big ol' gorilla/gorilla-based ape, while Godzilla's always had more variation in what he is.

Red King being a sauropod sounds like a disaster on paper but TheAmazingSpino (creator of the Godzilla/Transformers pieces from a while back) has done it really well!

I've had a similar idea, so I'm absolutely in love with this.

eh, sounds good to me on paper. large, aggressive animal exaggerated and on a small island becomes an ultra (pun not intentional) violent kaiju that beats the shit out of anything it deems to be a threat to itself or it's food supply.

I think it looks good, too. For once, a sauropod with an attitude problem.

Loving the surge for more chill theropods and aggressive sauropods.

I prefer him being a synapsid with convergent evolutionary traits to sauropods.

Geharha the Long and Dark-Haired Monster, a comedic Showa-era kaiju eiga homage from the early 2010s. It's notable for its director; Kiyotaka Taguchi, who would later serve as showrunner for multiple Ultra series.
