Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
Warning : Contains plunderer for Godzilla X Kong : The Hunted!Godzilla is famously the King of the Monsters inMonsterVersecanon , with Kong being perhaps the only other Titan who can rival that posture ( though they seem to have come to a peaceful intellect inGodzilla X Kong ) . Godzilla earned that moniker by contend and defeating Titans , so it remain firm to grounds that he will keep his title by continuing to fight increasingly deadly Titans that gainsay him . However , as revealed in a MonsterVerse railroad tie - in comic , it seems the unadulterated villain for the next installment of theGodzilla X Kongfranchise is n’t a Titan at all .
InGodzilla X Kong : The Huntedby Brian Buccellato , Dario Formisani , Drew Johnson , and Zid ( prequel toGodzilla X Kong : The New Empire ) , Godzilla is hunt down down one of the Titans fan see him defend in the movie : Titanus Scylla . Godzilla ’s part of the story is tracking down this mortal Titan as it go through atomic magnate industrial plant for radioactive sustenance , and ends with the struggle in Rome fans can experience inThe New Empire . Kong ’s story , on the other manus , is one that does n’t directly tie - in to the movie , but sets up a bold new scoundrel for the next one .
The villain Kong faces inThe Huntedis a human who sink $ 500 million into the production ofa giant mech - suit dubbed the Titan Hunterthat ’s akin to the Jaegers inPacific Rim(minus the mind - melding ) . This severally wealthy man lost his family to a MUTO attack during the upshot of 2014’sGodzilla , and he holds every Titan accountable - include Kong . While Kong was victorious in the end , this mech - suit did some pretty serious impairment in their one - v - one fight , which leaves the doorway open for a similar ( and more heavily fund ) enemy to rear its head in a later story .
Godzilla vs Kong is an epic photographic film with one of the best monster battles in account , & the intellect why they fought was due to Godzilla ’s name for Kong .
Humanity Itself May Be Godzilla & Kong’s ‘Final Boss’ in Their MonsterVerse Trilogy
The Titans in the MonsterVerse ( including and especially Godzilla ) have always been portray as the last shape of forces of nature on Earth . Godzilla is the one that defend the counterbalance as the alpha , but every Titan play their role . So , if world , not another Titan , terminate up being the ‘ ultimate villain ’ of theGodzilla X KongMonsterVerse trilogy , that would allow the serial to send a powerful metaphoric message to audiences , as they ’d find homo wear out destructive machines of their own making literally agitate element of Mother Earth incarnate .
Though beyond the metaphoric import of this potential trajectory for theGodzilla X Kongfranchise , it just make horse sense that humanity would want a handwriting in its own potential extermination every time Godzilla or Kong require to be call to action . No human artillery works against Godzillaor the other kaiju , leaving humanity vulnerable to blast at all times ( which is essentially the cornerstone of this integral franchise ) . Now , however , there ’s a mech - suit design that ’s prove to be effective against Titans , and there ’s just no way the governments of the world will let that go to waste .
It ’s also interesting that the toll of producing the Titan Hunter was prominently boast in this comedian , as it shows just how relatively cheap the mech - suit of clothes was to produce when compare to another famous MonsterVerse robo - titan : Mechagodzilla . InGodzilla vs Kong , it ’s revealed that Mechagodzilla cost $ 3 trillion to bring out , which is vastly more pricy than the Titan Hunter ’s measly $ 500 million .
With the fiscal backing of a government or secret organization , the MonsterVerse could see a fleet of Titan Hunters dispute Godzilla and Kong , as that would roughly cost the same as just one Mechagodzilla - thereby making the view of a Titan Hunter fleet not only plausible , but likely .
How The Titan Hunter Mech-Suit is Different From Godzilla vs Kong’s Mechagodzilla
While the Titan Hunter is far less costly than Mechagodzilla ( even as a fleet ) , there is the line of reasoning that it ’s simply too similar to Mechagodzilla - both in terms of in - world reasoning and story storytelling . If a regime or organization wanted to pour money into a Titan - killing robot , why would n’t they create one that near killed two Titans at once single - handedly , as match to investing in a mech - suit that could n’t even kill one ? Not only that , but fans already saw a man - made robo - titan take on Godzilla and Kong , so why would they require to see the same thing again ?
While these hypothetical criticisms are valid , these possible worry can be allay by addressing the major differences between the Titan Hunter and Mechagodzilla , which will show that the two really are n’t that similar at all .
The Titan Hunter is a giant mech - suit as opposed to Mechagodzilla being command through a telepathic link with the operator , making the Titan Hunter a far less intrusive experience for the pilot - which , in turn , signify there can be more pilots for more mech - suits . Plus , the Titan Hunter habituate far less energy than Mechagodzilla , attain it possible for a fleet of them to be produced without having to literally drill to the heart of the Earth .
As far as fans ’ likely fear that they ’ll just get the same thing over again , the experience of seeing a human - piloted fleet of Titan Hunters descending upon Godzilla and Kong would be a vastly different experience from view the two iconic Titans battling the equally iconic Mechagodzilla , disregarding of the fact that the Titan Hunters are also ‘ man - made robo - heavyweight ’ .
All - in - all , there are more deviation than similarity between the Titan Hunter and Mechagodzilla , making it the consummate prospect for the next MonsterVerse baddie !
The Titan Hunter Isn’t the First Kaiju-Sized Humanoid Robot in Godzilla Lore
Godzilla vs Megalon(1973)
The Titan Hunter is the first kaiju - sized humanoid robot in the MonsterVerse , but it ’s far from the first one in widerGodzillalore . In 1973’sGodzilla vs Megalon , buff were infix to Jet Jaguar , a robot make by Goro Ibuki that could grow to the sizing of Godzilla . away from the human original , Jet Jaguar support a numeral of striking similarities to the Titan Hunter . Both are humanoid robots the size of a kaiju , both were created by humanity ( an important clarification in more obscureGodzillalore ) , and both have the mogul to take on Titans .
The difference between the Titan Hunter and Jet Jaguar , however , is that Jet Jaguar worked with Godzilla , whereas the Titan Hunter would contend Godzilla arbitrarily , as just the fact that Godzilla is a Titan would be enough for the Titan Hunter to go after him . However , perhaps this difference is only a temporary one , and the existence of Jet Jaguar is really a secret inspiration for the Titan Hunter , allude to a possible squad - up scenario .
Maybe , if the Titan Hunter look in Godzilla X Kong 3 , it wo n’t be the villain , but an ally to Godzilla and Kong just like Jet Jaguar was . Could the Titan Hunter be the MonsterVerse ’s version of Jet Jaguar ?
While it is possible that the Titan Hunter ( or ‘ Hunters ’ ) could end up like Jet Jaguar , it seems far more likely that - if they do appear in the thirdGodzilla X Kongmovie - they will be villains , just like the original Titan Hunter . From the metaphorical to the virtual sense , it seems almost inevitable that a new fleet of Titan Hunters will be deployed inGodzilla X Kong3 , as thisMonsterVerseprequel funny sets that storyline up perfectly .
