Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show I'm your host Paul aka the guy who's just like Godzilla
because my favourite food is Fish and Ships. Like Fish and Chips...look nevermind we've
got a whole host of updates to breakdown in regards to the film that feels more legendary
at this point than the monsters in it. It's suffered numerous delays and set backs but
with Wonder Woman 1984 being announced as officially dropping on Christmas Day there
is a lot to talk about. Now Godzilla Vs Kong's release date has changed
more times than almost any other film I can think of...well not you New Mutants. It was
originally supposed to release in March, May, November and more but the current release
date stands at May 21st 2021. Now I do have faith that the film will indeed
hit this date and I think even if the world isn't back to normal by then that Warner Bros
will release the project on HBO Max similar to what they're doing with Wonder Woman 1984.
Now if you're out of the loop in regards to that, it has been announced within the last
24 hours that the movie will release on the 25th of December on the streaming service
and theatrically where it can. So it seems like the studio are just cutting
their losses and that they will probably just class this year as a write off and release
all the projects online if they can't do it through the usual chains.
Even though cinemas are closed on the whole, the studios are still able to film projects
so if they don't release the movies then they will have all these films mounting up that
they've had to pay for that just can't make money back on. It'll get to the point that
movies made in 2018 won't be released until years later and thus movies made this year
will be pushed back even further. The studios will just be in this loop of releasing films
so far down the line that it's almost not worth making them and therefore I think the
sensible thing is just to take the hit and get them out there.
Now it is rumored that with Wonder Woman 1984 that the trailer for the film will also come.
If you've been following our coverage so far then you'll know that we did do a big breakdown
of how long on average trailers tend to release before a film. Simon Follows put together
a graph on how regularly a movie trailer dropped before the film itself was seen in trailers
and typically the first full teaser of a big release comes within five to six months of
the fim dropping. Now when I put this out I had sites quoting
me saying that I'd confirmed the trailer would be released around January but hold your horses
mate I just said on average that's what happens. Calm down now we've all had a drink.
Anyway with all this data, the release of the film happening in May and Wonder Woman
dropping at the end of December. It does seem very likely that Godzilla Vs Kong will accompany
it. I think Warner Bros will wanna really make
the release of Wonder Woman something special so they will tie stuff in with it and who
knows we may even get a situation similar to Tenet where a cut down version of the Dune
trailer was released with it before a full one was dropped not long after.
Now I can't say this for definite but it does seem likely that this is what will happen
so hopefully, it won't be too long before we get our first major look at the movie.
Watch it get delayed again, I swear Imma smash up a building.
I always was good at Flipping Houses GODDDAMN. Anyway if you're enjoying the video so far
then make sure you subscribe as we do breakdowns like this every day on all the movies and
tv shows you know and love. Now onto the plot leaks and what we know about
the film so far. I've covered these before but just incase you want a catch up or didn't
see the old video this is what we've heard. I must stress that we won't know if these
are confirmed until There was actually a test screening for the
film quite awhile back and the results of it were mostly positive. Now whilst everyone
there likely signed an NDA, these leaks do get out and though we can't confirm for definite
exactly what's gonna happen in the film, from what we know this is the general breakdown.
According to the leaks Mechagodzilla is going to be made using the brain of the Gidorah
head that was seen at the end of the King Of The Monsters.
This is being worked on by a company called Apex and the company make biological weapons
that are designed to eradicate the Titans. With the help of Titan DNA from Godzilla and
Ghidorah the make a WMD codenamed "Kiryu" that can wipe both Godzilla and Kong off the
face of the earth if needed. Apex has two agenda's which are to disrupt
the natural order and force the two Kings into battle where they can then strike on
the loser with Kiryu who as I'm sure you guessed is Mechagodzilla.
Apparently MechGodzilla doesn't appear a lot and instead he just pops up at the end similar
to say Doomsday in Batman V Superman. Now on the opposite side are Monarch who are
trying to do everything that they can to stop Apex so they start to research the Hollow
Earth which is where Kong roams and rules over.
It turns out that the main passages of the Hollow Earth run through Skull Island which
is how Kong was able to migrate into ruling over the domain so easily. The titans have
all moved there and they show up on Skull Island too, falling under the rule of Kong.
During the research into Hallow Earth, we discover the origins of the Kong and Gojira
species. The two bloodlines hated each other and we discover that Godzilla is the last
of his kind. He lasted so long because he was a super species of the Gojira's, their
Alpha that ruled over them before Gidorahs arrival.
Juxtaposing them the Kong species evolved differently due to being primates. The alpha
Kong was known as King of all Kong's and King of Skull Island which of course paints out
how things were at the location. Their home is off limits to the Gojira and
they have kept them out due to the storms that surround the island. They are unaware
of the hollow earth tunnels but this is later discovered.
We discover that when the Hollow Earth was formed it broke the planet up into continents
and also enabled there to be different civilsations. Godzillas became the lost city of Atlantis
whereas Skull Island became...well Skull Island. The inahbitants of Skull Island believed that
one day there would be a reckoning when Godzilla would arrive on the island and Kong, their
protector would go head to head with it. This is shown on a cave painting that has
predicted that Godzilla will come for a day of Reckoning when he feels that his rule is
no longer valid. This threat to what he views as the natural order will cause a lot of issues
and thus Apex has manipulated the situation to make it seem like this is the time.
As we said the battle has been prophecised and people of the island have prepared for
this day over the centuries by building a giant axe for Kong which we have had confirmed
by the toy leaks. Now Mechagodzilla has an orca device built
into it which causes issues with the Titans. Godzilla will become confused over why they
aren't falling in line and he becomes violent and angry over this. As Kong is the one titan
that can't actually be controlled, blame falls at his feet and thus the two end up on a collision
course. Now as with most faceoffs you need motivation
on both sides for the characters to really care about fighting one another, and instead
of kidnapping his mother and making him fight Godzilla, Apex flood Skull Island with Seismic
activity. These earth quakes massively mess up the landscape
and make Kong believe that he has to stop Godzilla from destroying his home even further.
With his home on the verge of collapse he seeks out Godzilla and the movie apparently
takes the pov of four perspectives. That is Kong, Godzilla, the people at Apex and those
at Monarch that are trying to stop them. This leads to the battle in Hong Kong that
will be five minutes without cutting away from Godzilla and Kong.
From what I've read and seen Godzilla wins the batte but Kong fights really well and
the movie is supposed to make new audiences gain a lot of respect for him.
The battle ends with Mechagodzilla arriving and the pair will go against it. Both team
up to defeat him and from what I've seen neither die however it does lead to the pair gaining
new titles and together they will roam different parts of the Earth.
Godzilla will go under the name The King Of The Monsters and Earth's Guardian whereas
Kong will be the God Of Skull Island and also get the title King so he becomes King finally.
The beast hasn't had it so far and has been going under Kong for this specific reason.
I think it's a smart move for the studio to do this and it makes sense as to why he's
only ever been referred to as Kong in this continuity.
Anyway, that should be everything you need to know to get you up to speed on the film
as well as when we think the first look will be released. Like I said none of this is confirmed
but we've put together the evidence, data and leaks into one thing to hopefully give
an accurate idea of when things will all fall into place.
