Godzilla's Surprising Victory Over Skar King: Unveiling the Monsterverse Theory

Learning from their past encounter with King Ghidorah could be the secret to success for Godzilla and Kong in Godzilla vs. Kong: The New Empire. It appears that Skar King from the Monsterverse will serve as the main antagonist in the upcoming sequel. After teaming up briefly against Mechagodzilla, the two ancient foes will need to set aside their differences once again, possibly facing multiple adversaries.

According to the marketing, Godzilla and Kong will be up against a "world-ending threat" in their next cinematic adventure. The trailers featuring Skar King and his battles with Kong strongly suggest his involvement in this threat. While Skar King may not initially appear formidable enough to take on both Titans, director Adam Wingard's hints about Godzilla undergoing a new transformation indicate the challenges ahead. However, this transformation alone may not be sufficient to guarantee victory.

It seems that one of the main reasons Skar King is so dangerous is the army of ape monsters he has on his side. In the movie footage, he is seen leading these creatures, known as "Great Apes," who are similar to Kong. This suggests that Skar King is not alone in Godzilla x Kong; he has allies, which is why Godzilla and Kong may need to team up. Additionally, a titan was shown attacking Kong in the second trailer, indicating that Skar King's forces include monsters from different species.

The presence of numerous adversaries sets a high challenge for Godzilla and Kong in the upcoming movie. While Godzilla is the King of the Monsters, his struggle against the MUTOs when facing them together shows that he struggles against multiple opponents. This was just against two Titans, so facing a whole army of monsters would make survival seem almost impossible. Although Godzilla's new transformation could be helpful, it's hard to picture him and Kong defeating a legion of Titans without some allies of their own to even the odds.

To neutralize Skar King's biggest advantage, Godzilla could potentially borrow a move from his greatest enemy. In the movie Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Ghidorah summoned other Titans by roaring atop a volcano. Titans like Behemoth, Scylla, Methuselah, and more responded to his call and became his followers. By copying this tactic, Godzilla could quickly build his own army.

There is a good chance that this plan could succeed. In the movie's ending, it was shown that these Titans now bow down to Godzilla, acknowledging him as their alpha. Since they followed Ghidorah in the same manner, it is likely that they would obey Godzilla's command in battle as well.

Of course, there's the matter of whether Godzilla is even capable of summoning the Titans. Godzilla: Dominion, a graphic novel prequel to Godzilla vs. Kong, indicated that he does indeed possess the power to communicate with them from a distance. At the end of the story, Godzilla let out a call that sent all the Titans back into hibernation. If Godzilla can pull that off with a single roar, achieving the reverse of that hardly seems implausible. In other words, if Godzilla can call the Titans into hibernation, he should be able to wake them up as well.

Intriguingly, the possibility of Godzilla having his own Titan army is hinted at in the Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire promotion. In one of the trailers, there is a scene showing a Titan leg hitting the ground. Although it doesn't resemble any of the known Titans in the movie, it does bear a resemblance to Scylla, a Titan who used to serve Ghidorah. Since Godzilla had put all these Titans to sleep before the events of Godzilla vs. Kong, something must have caused Scylla to wake up.

Scylla's return could be explained by Godzilla's need for help, and a similar assessment could also be made of Mothra's apparent role. A split-second shot of Mothra in the reflection of Jia's eye proved that the kaiju, who died in King of the Monsters, will appear in at least some capacity in Godzilla x Kong. The King of the Monsters credits strongly hinted that an egg found on Infant Island belonged to Mothra. Since Mothra has yet to appear since King of the Monsters, it can be presumed that she's still inside the egg, waiting to be reborn. The last version incubated for thousands of years, but Godzilla x Kong's Mothra could hatch early if Godzilla's call for help reaches her.

In the movie, Godzilla's powerful roar could awaken the Titans of the Monsterverse for a specific purpose. This move, reminiscent of the one that almost destroyed the Monsterverse in King of the Monsters, could offer a fresh twist by revisiting a significant moment from the 2019 film. Just like Ghidorah's call introduced new Monsterverse Titans such as Behemoth and Scylla, Godzilla's roar could reveal creatures like Typhon, Sekhmet, Abaddon, and others for the very first time to the audience.

The missing Titans from King of the Monsters may receive official Monsterverse designs if they emerge in response to Godzilla's roar. There has been much speculation about their appearances for five years, so revealing them during the movie's final battle would be a significant payoff. This direction would also give real significance to Godzilla's role as the alpha; although he took control of the Titans in King of the Monsters, he has not yet had a chance to assert his authority; this could finally happen in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
