King Kong is a fictional monster, resembling an enormous ape, that has appeared in various media since 1933. He has been dubbed The Eighth Wonder of the World, a phrase commonly used within the films. The character first appeared in the novelization of the 1933 film King Kong from RKO Pictures, with the film premiering a little over two months later. The film received universal acclaim upon its initial release and re-releases.
BEHOLD, THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD!

If it weren't for covid and the release on HBO Max, would GvS been the highest grossed monsterverse movie?
I think this is BS, Every Version of Kong can beat every version of Godzilla in a single punch because every King Kong version is Boundless!
According to this it took kong 300ish years. Suko is a halfbreed of orangutan great ape titan and gorilla great ape titans. The former being his father skar. If you think about it suko might grow up to be stronger than kong.
In the next gxk Ofc other than fighting against one another and alongside each other.
Imagine a scene with Kong and shimo fighting a titan together maybe a flying one in hollow earth, kong throws his axe at the titan only for it to catch it with its mouth and throw it away. The axe lands stuck in one of shimo’s crystal spikes on her back after killing the titan kong carefully rips his axe out of shimo’s crystals, as a result a shard of her crystal falls to the ground. Kong picks it up only to meet shimo’s gaze, she’s paralyzed with fear and shakes with uncertainty and caution. Kong destroys the crystal comforting her showing her affection letting her know he has no malicious intent and things will be different.
Been seeing these takes everywhere, Kong is co main star in these movies he’s gonna be in his team up movie. Just because wingard said he’d like to delve more into Godzilla’s story doesn’t mean kong shouldn’t be in the movie. We should strive for equal screen time of the two. When people post stuff like this it reveals their true colours, and thing is it’s not guranteed that wingard is coming back, he seems quite busy and legendary doesn’t seem to be want to wait too long.
This is a Fan Fiction that I've working on for a few years and I would really like to make it a Group Project, so please leave a comment if interested.
The Fan Fiction merges Godzilla, King Kong and Gamera into a Shared Universe.
Just a thought, but do you guys think in King Kong 2005, there might be a much larger V-rex yet undiscovered or existed in the past that fought against the megaprimatus kong species?
Love this gag in the MV
In the 1975 cancelled king kong movie "the legend of king kong".
Wasn't the one attacking the crew of the s.s venture in the swamp going to be a brotosaurus?
It was going to be a parasaurolophus.
We even have a concept art
It even says so in the film's script
I leave it here in case you want to see it:

Look, I'm not a Boomer, I'm a late Gen Z and yes, I know the 1977 and 2005 remake Exists. But I think we can do this, we just need animators, (more specifically 3D animators), composers, actors, (ima be one of does actors) SFX team, (special effects team) a director and convince Universal to make this remake with us. Look, I know this is gonna be hard and Expensive (like REALLY expensive) but we can do this, oh and in case you're wondering yes I will be script writing this, but I will take some script ideas from the comments, so do so now! (keep the script 1930s themed)
In KSI last fight with the Skull Devil when Kong was stuck with the iron chains. Was it because of Mason Weavers shooting the flair on the Devil's eyes and Marlow's boat firing distracting, that gave Kong the upper hand? Without them, would he have died?
In GvK, the Warbat traps Kong with it's wings. Without Monarch's hovercraft ships firing at the Warbat, Kong wouldn't escape and suffocate?
It irks me a bit when humans having a central intervention to help Kong win a fight....
I may be forgetting one, but with the passing of this April, King Kong is officially 91 years old.
With him consistently getting more films and shows in recent years, with more to come, that would make him potentially the oldest film franchise that is still active today.
Is there any other film franchises still up to this day, older than King Kong that I missed?
