He told me from what he was able to hear the main objective of this movie is to show Kong off as someone who hold the same star power as Godzilla. Right now Godzilla is the star of the MV and their is several plans for him in the future.

Legendary wants to get the GA excited and to thinking Kong too could have several films and that his stroy doesn't have to end with him dying. As we all know Kong has never been in more than 2 connected films before.

The Axe and saving Godzilla are described as big moments as Legendary wants Kong to look cool and he thinks had theaters been open Kong would have gotten the big cheer and clap moments from viewers.

He believes Godzilla wins but hasn't heard for sure, he does say the way the fight plays out the way it was described to him is that when it looks like Kong is gaining the upper him we see a switch in Godzilla like he gets tired of Kong.

So take that as you will.

As far as the Netflix series his guess is that Toho will announce on November 3rd that Godzilla is back with Legendary (I told him this was Godzilla's birthday so that seemed like a good day to him) and Kong got the anime because if Singulair Point blows up you wouldn't want two Godzilla anime.

He also says he will be shocked if Kong doesn't get at least one movie after this.

Last thing he said from what he hears the Monsterverse team are major kaiju fans and joked about Gamera in the film with Kong say is he with you to Godzilla.

No serious plans for Gamera, just a joke and my cousin's friend called him the flying Turtle.
Is he anyone of note? Does he work at Legendary/WB? Anything that could lend his word any credibility?

It’ll be weird if they end the movie with Godzilla in a coma. I hope that detail is wrong.

He works as an assistant in LA and has a couple connection.

He big things were two weeks before Jurassic World came out him told me the ending of JW was a reverse of the ending of the orginal JP and told me that Hulk doesn't have a rematch with Thanos in Endgame.

He has also told me wrong rumors before as well.

I don't mind if Kong gets a share of the spotlight so long as he doesn't overshadow Godzilla.

It's smart if they go for the audience's "aaaaaw's" and hearts with the lovable and anthropomorphic Kong. It's a great move and it bodes well for future movies.
And it's smart if they keep Godzilla as the "wowww" unimpeachable king and appeal to the awe-inspiring cheers for him. Every character has their niche and the different facets they bring to the franchise.

I agree. It evens things out.

Toho has indicated several times that they would like the Monsterverse to continue so it's really up to Legendary and WB.

Gotta say Hong Kong is a nice choice for the final battle. Place is covered in highrise buildings, the potential for glorious devastation is staggering.

I agree! But here's a question. Do you think the lighting looked better in Pacific Rim or in GvK? I know it's extremely early to tell and of course I am absolutely reserving my judgement, but from what we have seen so far I kind of think the Pacific Rim lighting looks a bit better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYQjmj7 ... Movieclips
https://youtu.be/PmaH69Y7PG0?t=129

The reason I say so is because I think in Pacific Rim the fog and overall atmosphere is a bit more dense, resulting in the lights to bounce around more and kind of tie everything together as well as bring out the sheer scale of those monsters. But they look very close in comparison. What do you guys all think?

Not sure if this has been touched on — according to a VFX artist who worked on the film (Hong Kong battle sequence), Kong’s punch is effectively “supersonic” and apparently it was peer-reviewed.

All the while I'm imitating Paul Reuben at the back of the cinema while watching this with the 20 people there social distancing.

I recall the same exact thing being said about Godzilla's tail slap in 2014, experts said like due to his size and muscles Godzilla could swing his tail at super sonic speeds.
