    They let the King Kong guy do whatever he wants and he made a John Carpenter movie that starts off by saying “the United Snakes of Amerikkka is and always has been a Nazi state”

    This is my favorite movie with King Kong because it’s good but also every tertiary character is played by an improv comedy person from an Adult Swim show that would air at 2 in the morning.

    One of my favorite things for people to learn is Godzilla fought King Kong at the same point in his Toho film series as in the Monsterverse. (Film 3.) It feels like surely the Kong crossover would come when out of ideas. Nope. Third at bat, they tried to make Godzilla an icon on Kong’s level.
