Kong Has Grown Up a Bit For ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’
By George Robbins
The upcoming movie ‘Godzilla vs. Kong‘ is one that has been highly anticipated ever since the announcement that the film was going to be made. This match-up is one that has been hyped up by the Legendary studio and fans alike over the past few years and it is getting closer to the date of release for the film. This is setting up a lot of excitement for the film, especially since they release new content here and there as time goes on. However, the studio has yet to put out a trailer for the film which is working to make people even more excited about the upcoming match-up. Even though the studio hasn’t put out any official new content yet, the toy lines for the movie seem to show some new details about the upcoming film.
Specifically, the art on the toy boxes and the tools for the figures inside said boxes leads us to now believe in some new details for the film. From what can be seen on the box art, Kong has grown to be about the same size as Godzilla and he has even managed to grow something akin to a beard. Also, included in the box with Kong is a stone ax, so it is within the realm of possibility that he will use tools in the movie to match Godzilla in combat. One of the biggest issues originally presented was how would Kong, who was noticeably weaker and smaller than Godzilla, be able to fight him on even ground. It now seems that we have the answer to how he can make up for his apparent weakness in comparison. The question many people might still have is how did he make up for the size difference?
As stated, we have seen on the box art that the two titans are now about the same size, whereas in Kong’s introduction movie ‘Kong: Skull Island‘ he only stood at about 1/3 of Godzilla’s height. If people were paying attention during the movie, however, it was mentioned that Kong was still only really considered to be a child and he was still in the midst of growing. After 45 years, it wouldn’t really be all that much of a surprise that Kong would grow to epic proportions and after so many years of fighting Skull Crawlers on his home island, he knows how to fight better. This means that he probably had to improvise many different tools in order to fight against his enemy in the most efficient way possible. Kong’s intelligence vs. Godzilla’s brute strength will be a sight to behold when the movie releases in May of 2021.
