How do they want Donkey Kong? With or without suspenders?

Remember that controversy about Donkey Kong wearing pants in "Donkey Kong Bananza"? The funny thing is, it all started with an interview with Seth Rogen (the voice of the gorilla in the Super Mario movie) where he jokingly stated that Donkey Kong would be funnier in pants, and that's how Nintendo created the gorilla with pants.

But in the end it was all an exaggeration of the design, and in fact, you can take the character's pants off, so it's not entirely permanent.

•To be honest, I think I like Donkey Kong in pants aesthetically and in terms of design; he reminds me of a classic character from the 1940s, in addition to the facial redesign they gave him for this game.

And (and some of you might notice this) the relationship that Donkey Kong has with child Pauline reminds me a lot of Wreck-It Ralph with Panelope

That's not to mention that Donkey Kong's outfit and destructive abilities make him look even more like him.

What would an epic showdown between Lighty Eagle Prime and these characters look like?

(I chose this version of Mighty Eagle for one reason: firstly, and realistically, the Mighty Eagle we see in the movies would be defeated in a second by any enemies they choose, so I chose this version because it is more powerful, as it lives up to its name.

He destroyed a volcano and made it erupt, he shattered thousands of trees with one blow, he destroyed thousands of mountains with a kick, he cracks coconuts with his muscles, and women are dying for him)

If you were a screenwriter or producer of the Monsterverse, what truly convincing answer would you give for why Kong increased so enormously in size after the events of "Kong: Skull Island"?

When Kong appears in the 2017 film "Kong: Skull Island," he is approximately 31.6 meters tall, and the film implies that he was still growing (as he was a teenager). However, when he reappears in the 2021 film "GVK," the ape has grown enormously, to about 102.7 meters tall, which seems rather strange and somewhat odd chronologically.

The directors stated that the reason Kong was so small was because the 2017 film took place in 1973, so four decades passed before Kong grew in size.

However, if Kong was still young on Skull Island, then he could have grown to roughly 50 or 60 meters tall (like his parents) because the size jump is too extreme for the amount of time that occurred

In the second season of "Monarch: The Legacy of Monsters" (in which Kong was the protagonist) he was seen to be taller (possibly around 60 or 70 meters tall) when he faced Monster X.

In fact, in the early concept art for the 2017 film, Kong was going to be much larger (from what I observed and calculated, he was going to be between 70 and 80 meters tall) but unfortunately, his size was drastically reduced so that he could interact with the protagonists.

I have three theories:

1- Experimentation and gravity:

When the 2021 GVK movie begins, Kong appears at the APEX Foundation, and according to the series "Monarch: The Legacy of Monsters," the organization experiments on animals. Therefore, it is possible that Kong, when he is taken from Skull Island, had undergone a gravity adjustment to increase his size, making him larger than Brontes (his ancestor).

2- Peace and peaceful development:

When Kong defeated all the Skullcrawlers that invaded the island, he was able to prosper peacefully and experienced a significant growth spurt. Due to the natural conflict between the Titanus Kong (Kong's species) and the Skullcrawlers, the primates suffered from cellular dwarfism due to the constant stress of fighting and being on high alert. In Kong's case, by exterminating the Skullcrawlers and the Skulldevil, he was able to grow to his full potential, thanks to the abundant resources on Skull Island.

3- plot:

For comparison, King Kong first appeared in 1933. At that time, the gorilla measured 5.5 meters, 7.3 meters, and 15.2 meters tall, while Godzilla at that time measured 50 meters tall. When they first fought in 1962, King Kong's height was increased from 15.2 to 45 meters to face Godzilla. Kong went through the same process. In his first appearance in 2017, he measured 31.6 meters tall, increasing to 102.7 meters to fight Godzilla (although he could have been taller, like 110 or 115 meters).

in another alternate universe:

1- king kong and godzilla original

2- King kong vs godzilla (1962): (This one is real)

3- destroy all monsters (1968):

In the film's early drafts, it was planned that all the kaiju that appeared in previous films would be included; for good reason, King Kong was also on the guest list. However, since Toho recently lost the rights to the ape, they had no choice but to choose the Gorosaurus that Kong had faced in 1967's "King Kong Escapes."

4- king kong vs godzilla (1991) (proyect cancelled)

(After the failure of the film "Godzilla vs. Biollante," Toho considered using King Kong as an ace up their sleeve for their next film in 1991. However, due to the well-known copyright issues surrounding the gorilla, Toho ultimately decided to use King Ghidorah, and thus, "Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah" was born. I chose the design from "King Kong Lives" because it would be a perfect fit for a Godzilla film from the Heisei era.

5- godzilla vs king monkey:

To differentiate it from the original King Kong, for the '62 film, the Toho producers and costume designers based it on a Japanese macaque (and if you ask me, it doesn't look anything like a Japanese macaque 😅)

Therefore, I imagined that in the Millennium era of Godzilla, instead of choosing King Kong with the classic gorilla appearance, they would opt for a real Japanese macaque (I chose an ozaron for a reason, because the kaiju designs in this era are literally pointy)

6;7;10 -the characters in the monsterverse (coming soon "Godzilla x Kong: Supernova" in 2027)

8- King kong vs godzilla (reiwa era)

I chose the Minus One universe because both Godzilla Minus One and the 2005 King Kong are improved, savage, and realistic versions of their original versions (King Kong 1933 and Godzilla 1954 respectively), since I don't think Kong would fit in with other films from this era like Shin Godzilla.

(although here King Kong retains the abilities he had in the Showa era, as well as being 48.8 meters tall)

Kong in four legs

Kong, in the Monsterverse, is canonically a hominid who walks on two legs, and this was shown in his first appearance in "Kong: Skull Island" in 2017. But in 2021, with the release of "GvK," Kong would walk on four legs to get around, as well as in "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" in 2024.

To be honest, I love this form of Kong; it reminds me more of a gorilla, and it shares (more or less) the same quadrupedal stance as Behemoth.

It would be great if Kong walked on all fours in a future Monsterverse production

Mighty Eagle Prime/Arch-Enemies from Other Media Day 4: Which "other media" villain would be Mighty Eagle's arch-enemy? (Rules in the description)

*•general rules:*

1-The comment or archenemy that gets the most votes at the end of the day wins.

2- Once you choose a character from a franchise, you can't repeat it (for more variety, so be wise and choose well before you think about it).

3-Don't lower my vote count, otherwise your choice won't be taken into account.

4- He can also be a hero, anti-hero, and anti-villain (not necessarily a villain).

5-Get creative! Choose a character from other brands or franchises unrelated to Angry Birds to differentiate it from the chosen character (in this case, Mighty Eagle).

(I chose this version of Mighty Eagle for one reason: firstly, and realistically, the Mighty Eagle we see in the movies would be defeated in a second by any enemies they choose, so I chose this version because it is more powerful, as it lives up to its name.

Kiko's curious commercial

During the 1990s, the Japanese brand KODAK produced a stop-motion animated commercial, showing Kiko missing his father, Kingu Kongu (I mean, King Kong)

What is surprising about this is that Kiko was never used again in a production related to King Kong (remaining only in "Son of Kong" 1933) Here it appears once more, but in a commercial.

In my opinion, this commercial is adorable, both because of Kiko's design and because it's made using stop motion.

the great resemblance between the 2D version of Candy and Cooking Mama

When I tried and played the video game "Cooking Mama," I realized that the protagonist of the game is very similar to the design that Candy had in the Bunny Maloney pilot and in the Tanuki artwork.

Both in the visual aspect and in the facial expressions, as well as in the 2D design of Candy de Tanuki, they are very similar to Cooking Mama.

Furthermore, Cooking Mama's voice is almost identical to Candy's.

comparison of titans

-The Palaeoloxodon namadicus was the largest land mammal that ever existed.

Its total height was 5.2 meters, and it weighed approximately 22 tons.

-On the other hand, when King Kong appeared in his eponymous film in 1933, when he was initially on Skull Island, he measured 5.5 meters tall, and when he was in New York, he measured 7.3 meters tall.

How could it have been a ghostly remake of "Son of Kong"?

Unlike King Kong, Son of Kong did not achieve the same success as its predecessor, so no elements were ever used or a production related to the 1933 film/sequel was ever produced.

When Jackson was asked about a King Kong sequel, he joked that they were preparing a sequel with a draft, but in the end, it was just a clever April Fool's joke.

The thing is, what would a Peter Jackson "Son of Kong" movie have been like? I mean, that would be pretty incredible.

Well, this could be the opportunity for the film to redeem itself and start attracting public attention, so that more films or series are produced (more or less, but you get the idea).

▲ 867 r/GODZILLA

They look quite alike

I don't know why, but when I see Godzilla's design in the movie "Godzilla vs. Megalon" and onwards, it reminds me a lot of a French bulldog.

Could it be that they were inspired by this dog breed for Goji's face? Or is it simply a coincidence?

Of all the designs Godzilla had in the Showa era, which do you think would be the definitive design for the character? Without any further changes.

-Godzilla (1954)

-Godzilla Rudes Again (1955)

-Godzilla: the volcano monsters (1957) (Cancelled but leaked movie)

-King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962)

-Godzilla vs. Mothra (1964)

-Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964)

-Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965)

-Ebirah, Horror from the Deep (1966)

-Son of Godzilla (1967)

-Destroy All Monsters (1968)

-Son of Godzilla / Revenge of Godzilla (1969)

-godzilla vs hedorah (1971)

-Godzilla vs. Gigan (1972)

-Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973)

-Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974)

-The Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975)

The constant changes in Godzilla's design during this era were due to the rapid deterioration of the suits, as the materials used were quite weak and easily damaged.

Not to mention the swimming sequences, burns, falls, and scratches that occurred in the films, which certainly didn't help matters.

But still, I've wondered which of these Godzilla suit designs would have been the final one, and which wouldn't have required a change in the kaiju's design.

Personally, and in my opinion, I would say that the 1962 Godzilla design (King Goji) is the definitive design, as it falls somewhere between the 1954 Godzilla design and the charismatic Showa Godzilla. Furthermore, its appearance shows more of a resemblance to a mix of reptile and dinosaur (something that Godzilla canonically is in the story).
