For all these years I thought Godzilla was my bro but then I watch this new trailer and
he's smashing cities up You're embarrassing me, I told them we were
friends. The new GVK Teaser is completely breaking
the internet right now and Titan Level Trailer has one big question hanging over it. Why
is Godzilla destroying the cities and is he really the one doing it?
Will the real godzilla please stand up? Well throughout this video we're gonna be
breaking it all down and going over our thoughts and theories on what's really going on.
There will be heavy spoilers here as we'll be discussing some of the leaks but nothing
beyond what you could learn from the trailer if you were looking closely enough. If this
is your first time here then welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Paul the
Mega G when it comes to breakdowns, now let's discuss what's really going on.
Ok so the premise of Godzilla Vs Kong makes it seem like the Towering Titan has had enough
of Fish and Ships and he's decided to move his attention to land.
Monarch are stumped, fan boys are outraged and absolutely no one knows why the jolly
green giant had decided to turn on the people that love and adore him.
It's seoul crushing, and I don't mean that he stepped on the capital of South Korea...even
though it looks like he may have. Clearly something else is going on and from
the trailers it looks like humanity has decided to take Kong in order to stand a chance against
the atomic breath breathing bohemoth. But what if it's all one big misunderstanding
and the king of the monsters is actually being framed for what we see him doing?
Well if you go over the trailer with a fine tooth comb you'll notice that there are two
distinct moments that confirm that Mechagodzilla is indeed in the movie. After the initial
attack that opens things up you can clearly see his classic metallic shape moving over
the the citizens that we see hurtling down the stairs faster than I clicked the trailer
video when I got the notification from Warner Bros.
In another part of the first look we can see the character Ren Serizawa standing infront
of a control panel with a dinstinct metallic titan shape with the systems reading at Maximum
charge. Ren is actually the son of Ishiro played by
Ken Watanabe in the prior movies and it's clear that he's inherited his father's understanding
of the Titans and has managed to craft his own.
The place that we see him is clearly a Mechagodzilla control room and this signifies to me that
he is definitely being used by the humans. Now if you've been keeping up to date with
the plot synposiseseses that have been released for the film you'll know that recently there
was one released that said the terrorist group Apex were looking to find a way to wipe all
the Titans out in one fell swoop. Apex themselves are rumored to have built
the beast through Ren who has used the brain of the severed ghidorah head from King Of
The Monsters and the gigantic titan skeleton from the 2014 Godzilla film.
Though he appears in a very small way in the trailer he's clearly gonna be laced throughout
the film and this is even shown in the logos which have a distinct blue electricity flowing
throwing them. Now because of his dad it's difficult to tell
whether Ren is gonna be good or a bad guy but if Tobey Maguire has told me one thing
it's that people with that haircut are rotten to the core. However I do think that he may
have been tricked by Apex who would've been like "I knew your dad...in away...after I
tried to kill him several times." Now though we know little about Apex, apparently
they are trying to lure Kong and Godzilla out into the open so that they can have the
pair fight against one another and then when the winner is weakened they simply send Mechagodzilla
in to finish them off. Not finish them off like that you dirty bad
boy. This technique is something that we saw Spectre
demonstrate with the Siamese Fighting Fish in From Russia With Love and it's commonly
a tactic used in most VS movies where the two opposing sides team up to take out the
greater evil. So it definitely is a possibility that Mechagodzilla
could be the one carrying out the attacks on the cities in order to make the real one
look bad. I've even saw theories on my trailer breakdown that said that Mecha could be wearing
a gigantic kevlar suit that just makes him look like Godzilla.
It's like when you were a kid and you used to stand on your mates shoulders and wear
a trench coat to sneak into the cinema. However, I'm gonna say something controversial...something
that you might wanna sit down for if you're #TeamGodzilla.
Ok so I don't actually think that Mechagodzilla is the one who's doing most of the city smashing
and I think it is indeed Godzilla. In one scene in the trailer we can see him blasting
out his atomic breath and this then sweeps across and causes many casualties in the explosions
that arise from it. Now it may be a Kevlar suit but I think that
the trailer in several ways is hinting to us that both Titan's are under some form of
control or another. With Kong we see a young girl who holds up
an idol that seems to calm down the gigantic ape and throughout the teaser there's lip
service paid to the fact that the pair have a special bond. Whether he recognises similarities
in her to the other people that he's eaten in the past we don't know but we very much
have this idea that he can be manipulated in some form or another even if it's willingly.
Similar to this I believe that Kong will be under the control of Apex who, rather than
playing their hand have found a way to manipulate Godzilla into going wild in the middle of
a city. King Of The Monsters clearly demonstrated
that the Orca device was a way to bring the Titans under control and I believe that this
device has been perfected and placed in Mechagodzilla as a way to have the metallic monster manipulate
Godzilla into destroying the humans. Now I am more than willing to accept that
it could be a possibility that Mechagodzilla is just dressed up as the Titan but I feel
like that cheapens that battle in many ways if it turns out to be true.
What we really wanna see is both Kong and Godzilla fight and to have a reveal that he
wasn't even fighting him this entire time I think would make the movie just feel slightly
shallow. As much as I love Godzilla I'd love if we
had a moment like in Batman V Superman where he says you were never a god...zilla and just
smacks him in the face similar to what we see in the trailer.
Now the reason that I think that Mechagodzilla is able to manipulate the other titans including
the big dog himself is because in the trailer we see two Nuzuki titans attacking Kong.
According to the leaks these are natives of Skull Island however they also state that
this place is now more of a sanctuary to the titans in which they have all fallen under
the rule of Kong rather than constantly being at war with one another.
Thus them attacking him does signify to me that they may also have been sent crazy by
the twisted ways of Apex. Though this may not be the case it's even
possible that the explosion which we see at the start of the trailer is actually the energy
override of Mechagodzilla which will draw Godzilla to the area and then have him go
ape shit when the Orca is activated. I feel like those are probably the most likely
possibilities and though it pains me to say it I do think that the Godzilla we see in
the trailer is the real one. It just makes the most sense to me that he's
the one causing all this death and destruction and if the rumoured monsterverse is going
to spring from this film I think the best place to start is with the humans not really
knowing whether they can trust him or not. Obviously I'd love to hear your thoughts though
and whether you agree with me or not in the comments below.
