Happy Anniversary to the Eighth Wonder of the World!
In 2000, only one year after I first saw Godzilla, five year old me was shown a old black and white movie on VHS by my father. King Kong 1933. In a year following, I would see almost every single King Kong movie in existence at that point. The hunt wasn't as extreme as my voyage to track down every single Godzilla film, but it did take me to many of the same places and ate up other chunks of the allowance I earned via chores for my family and neighbors. Flea markets, warehouse stores, pawn
6 years ago today, the second entry in the Monsterverse brought back the Eighth Wonder of the World to the big screen.
Look at my boi Goji going full-on Moby Dick here! :D
This movie is gonna be fantastic.
Gotta say, I'm getting some big Akira Ifukube vibes from Godzilla's theme here.
LADIEES AND GENTLEMEN!! PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THE GREATEST MATCHUP IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!!
Reviews and word-of-mouth have been predominantly positive, it is rolling in cash right now, and I am hyped beyond all reason.
I even made up a checklist of all my predictions for the movie just to see how right I was when I'm done with it. :D
Sometime after I'll write up a review here for anybody who's interested in hearing me gush about this thing.
May the best monster win. So Godzilla. :P
WARNING!
This post will contain spoilers because that's honest to goodness the only way I can really talk up a movie like this. If you're allergic to spoilers, read after you've seen the movie. If you don't give a care, read on.
Bring King Kong in my story. He’ll receive an origin plot in his debut chapter of season five, then again at season seven. It’ll be different origins, though, but they’ll stay the same as the debut chapter of Kong.
In his debut chapter, he’s going to fight Virin, not for the title of King, but as the better Kaiju and dragon in their respective species.
For the first origin chapter of Kong, it’ll be most likely 19,000 words long, but at the same time, shorter than that.
I regret many things. One of them is how absent I’ve been. That, hopefully, stops now as I haven’t been idle. I’m sorry if some worried I abandoned the site, the fandom, or my story. Not so. What have I been up to? Well aside from spending some free time on the Discord to keep myself mentally sane with social interaction, graduate school has been an enormous time drain and I also hosted a visit from my beloved girlfriend; known to you all as Faith-Wolff, recently.
Quite a massive tribute to Donkey Kong Country's first, and most well-known, enemy faction, if I do say so myself!
This is more of a full-fledged review with some extra observations that sprang to mind, thinking about the movie. For anyone who's interested.
"Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" is a dumb film that is very smartly made, and I say that in the form of highest praise. This is a movie that knows it is a monster mash first and foremost - essentially, a Godzilla movie of the 60s and 70s given the modern-day blockbuster treatment - and builds itself entirely around that.
Hong Kong, a bustling metropolis where East meets West, is a captivating blend of modernity and tradition, skyscrapers and serene landscapes, vibrant markets and gourmet delights. With so much to see and do, planning your itinerary can be overwhelming. Fear not, as we guide you through the top must-do activities for an unforgettable Hong Kong trip.

Really, really hoping that this will be good.
But honestly, just the merest bits of the brawl that this trailer promises have me pretty hyped already.
Tomorrow is finally the big day. After a year of pandemic delays, seven years of the MonsterVerse, and fifty-nine years since their first meeting, Godzilla and Kong are finally ready to meet again. It’s been a long, tough road getting to this point, but so far it sounds like it’s been worth the wait.
Hail to the Kings. May the best monster win.
