It looks a lot like the Super-X from Godzilla 1985.
Legendary's Godzilla 2 & beyond - News & Rumors
- Thread starter Kai "the spy"
- Start date
Its funny, I'm sitting here in the break room having lunch, watching the trailer on my phone and all of a sudden I've got three of my coworkers standing over my shoulder going, 'Is that what I think it is?' And cheering and saying 'Awesome'. So it's definitely doing what it set out to do.
New MonsterArt figures coming

I'm a bit sad Kong's axe wasn't made by Eitri
He basically took one of Godzilla's Dorsal fins and crafted an axe

Making an axe like that isn't that ridiculous, sticking one of Godzilla's dorsal blades through a tree or whatever, isn't really that far off from the kind of tools real world apes make.
There's that shot in the trailer with Kong about to cleave Godzilla's skull with that thing and Goji is "nuking" it with his atomic breath. I suspect if any biological matter could "resist" his "nuclear loogies", I'd say one of his dorsal plates might do it. The bone "handle"? Who knows? Could be that part get vaporized and the dorsal plate goes spinning like a Cessna sized Frisbee. Or the bone might be from the skeleton of another Goji type Kaiju and thus deflect those energies better. Regardless, it'll be neat to discover what happens!
Didn't they mention an ancient war in the trailer? The Ax might be a relict from that time.
The plate might not even be from Godzilla. It could be from a dead ancestor. The bone as well.
That's what I meant.
Edit: Just watched the German trailer (same footage, don't get your hopes up), and they said "Only in theaters" at the end. So, while theaters are still shut down, and will be until at least February 14th, they seem intent on not selling it to a streaming service available in Germany (as they haven't done with WW84, either). I am looking forward to see the movie on the big screen, even if it takes a bit longer.
Edit, again: Bumped to March 31. Maybe they should announce the date only after deciding on it? I mean, will they bump it another week next Tuesday?

How dare you guys bring logic to the situation!
The movie's release has not been pushed back a week to March 31, there's no word on why. At least it's just a week, and they aren't making us until next year.
If Mechagodzilla is in this I'm going to be very happy.
Wouldn't it be weird if Mechagodzilla appeared, and they used the design from Ready Player One?!
It's extremely unlikely to happen, but it would explain why it's not any of the old designs, the game is using the design from this movie.
Okay, first things first, apparently there's an anime titled "Skull Island" set in the MonsterVerse coming from Legendary and Powerhouse Animation. So, that's cool.
But a bit juicy is the fact that it will be on Netflix.
Tomb Raider, Kong: Skull Island Anime Series Land At Netflix
Seems like, though WB could work out a deal good enough for Legendary not to go to court, Legendary might still be soured on WB. This could have been on HBO Max, after all.

Yeah, guess they must have really pissed them off.
Definitely interested in the anime.
Funko has revealed their Pops for the movie. Once I'm back to buying stuff like this, at least one or two of these will probably end up being added to my collection.

So Netflix will have animated series for Jurassic World, Godzilla, Pacific Rim, and now King Kong. They really know how to keep me subscribed.
Yeah, I got myself mixed up because Jurassic World and Pacific Rim: Uprising were done with Universal (although the first Pacific Rim was a Legendary co-production with WB) while the Kong/Godzilla films are Legendary Pictures productions that they teamed up with WB to make (Legendary, not WB, are the ones licensing the Godzilla rights from Toho). Apparently Kong: Skull Island also started as a co-production with Universal, but Legendary moved it over to WB to create the shared universe with Godzilla.
