Kong: Skull Island
A view inKong : Skull Islandraises some questions about the massive size upgrade the MonsterVerse is give the Titan inGodzilla vs. Kong . Kong , who was less than a third of Godzilla ’s peak in the 1970s , will be nearly even with the King of the Monsters in the forthcoming movie .
InKong : Skull Island , the giant imitator was 104 feet improbable when he encountered the mankind and defended his island from the invasive Skullcrawlers . That pale in comparison to Godzilla , who had aheight of 393 foot inGodzilla : King of the Monsters . Since Godzilla ’s sizing was an increase from the 2014 movie , he could be even bigger in the 2021 moving picture . That being said , the two will be roughly the same height inGodzilla vs. Kong . As for why Kong was capable to grow so much in less than 50 years , the explanation that ’s been offered is his long time . It ’s been said thatKong was just an adolescentwhen the human race first crossed path with him in 1973 . seemingly , Kong has done a quite a little of growing since then .

The idea behind the size upgrade is that Kong ’s mintage is capable of reaching great heights , butKong : Skull Islandsuggests otherwise . There ’s a fit in the movie where the human quality are led to a large graveyard . While there , they see the skeletons of two apes who are revealed to be Kong ’s parents . They , along withthe rest of his kind , were pass over out by the criminal Skullcrawlers . What ’s interesting about all this is the skeletons themselves . free-base on how they equate to the humans observing them , it would seem that they ’re no bigger than their Word is duringKong : Skull Island .
The implication here is that Kong ’s altitude in the picture is about normal and that he should be full - grown ( or nigh to it ) . There was no grounds in the moving-picture show of an copycat as bigGodzilla vs. Kong’sversion of the character . One possible explanation is that Kong ’s parent were still spring up when they pall . But if there were any apes that big on the island , that would make the extinction of their species even more difficult to imagine . At 104 groundwork , Kong was significantly challenged , but he was still able-bodied to stand off the Skullcrawlers on his own . If he was as marvelous as Godzilla though , the battle would have been much easy , and even more so if there were more apes .
disregarding , Kong growing so grown to defend Godzilla is n’t unprecedented . Toho went in a similar direction when they made the ape who scaled the Empire State Building tall enough to go toe - to - toe with Godzilla in the 1962 crossover movie , King Kong vs. Godzilla . In both movies , Kong being a friction match for him would have been impossible without making famed changes to his appearance . Due to his sizeand a unexampled power , Toho ’s Kong was capable to survive , but it stay to be seen if his MonsterVerse counterpart will be as fortunate .
