Deleted/altered Monsterverse scenes in Godzilla & Kong: The Cinematic Storyboard Art of Richard Bennett

Kong: Skull Island

There's a longer opening sequence, with Marlowe discovering Gunpei's camp instead of them both crashing at around the same time.

Conrad stows away on the expedition instead of being hired as a tracker

Weaver and Conrad meet at a Philadelphia train station (no clue what the context was).

Kong swings around a helicopter while the gunner is still firing and the bullets hit another helicopter, which I think is the closest he's ever come to using a gun.

Packard's group watches Kong fight the Mire Squid instead of Chapman.

Very different take on the Iwi village, with smaller lost ships/planes incorporated into the architecture.

The big one: Conrad flashes back to an encounter with King Ghidorah in Vietnam. The three-headed monster's silhouette is basically just the Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah version, but he has at least five prehensile tails he uses to snatch up soldiers.

Conrad and Weaver are tied to a tree during the napalm plot against Kong. Another character sets them free and they go wild on a few soldiers, with Weaver hitting one on the head with a rock. The Skull Devil emerges in a separate scene.

Kong uses a plane wing as a weapon in the final fight.

The Skull Devil has a grappling tail similar to that of Otachi in Pacific Rim.

The Iwi fight Conrad's group (I think) as the Gray Fox is lowered down a waterfall with a pulley system and something ambushes Kong in the background. This one was especially hard to make any sense of without dialogue.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters

Jonah spies on Emma and Madison as they drive to Mothra's temple.

The video montage in the Senate hearing is done via hologram. A mushroom cloud is displayed while Serizawa argues with a senator.

Mark bows to a wolf that approaches him in a nice bit of foreshadowing.

Mothra arrives in Boston alongside Godzilla instead of turning up later.

Godzilla vs. Kong

In an alternate opening, the Iwi retell the history between Godzilla and Kong's species using highly-elaborate puppets. There's a horned character loaded with weapons who briefly traps Godzilla in a cage and transforms into a Rodan-like figure. An ancient mecha?

Text mentions that "the Pensacola/Florida Godzilla attack scene was going to be much longer, involving a mall stampede.

A massive explosion takes place on Skull Island (I believe coming from the Vile Vortex there).

Jia is first shown signing with Kong just before the fleet engages Godzilla.

In true kaiju kid fashion, Jia messes with the controls of the ship to set Kong loose.

Nathan discovers his brother's crash site in the Hollow Earth and gets into a fight with several guards. This scene was definitely filmed.

Bernie was at one point a woman (drawn with ultra-short hair, although in general the human characters in these storyboards bear little resemblance to their screen counterparts).

Kong finds a skeleton of another member of his species sitting on the throne. He breaks off the skull, stares at it, and throws it aside.

Group troops engage Godzilla and Kong during their Hong Kong fight; neither even notices.

Mechagodzilla coils into a semi-sphere to deflect Godzilla's atomic breath.

Echoing his fight with Kong, Godzilla tries to outrun Mechagodzilla's Proton Scream through the streets of Hong Kong.

I've wanted to do this for so long when they announced the Monster'verse would continue, and I'm so proud of how it turned out in the end. And I wanted to use this song because it would make a perfect trailer song for a future Monster'verse movie.

The thing that exites me the most about the Kong animated series is the return of the Skullcrawlers. It's not just their cool design, there is so much thought put into these monsters, how they "evolved wrong" as in they are constantly hungry and in pain because evolution doesn't care if it doesn't get in the way of reproducing, they fit perfectly with the ecosystem angle the Monsterverse sometimes goes for.

I lament that they may be often disregarded as canon fodder for Kong (and more recently Mechagodzilla), they could have their whole movie. They are tragic in their own way. Now that I think about it, they are a similar threat to the 1998 Godzilla, by being a species of agile reptiles that reproduce too quickly and eat a lot. The skullcrawlers are more "realistic", however, not being limited by the Godzilla name and brand: they are a whole species that have evolved under very specific circumstances through millions of years.

JLA vs. GODZILLA vs. KONG

A crossover between DC Comics and Legendary Comics, announced yesterday at SDCC.

Interior pages from a seven-issue mini-series wherein the Monsterverse mysteriously intersects with the DC Universe.

That’s Titano, not Kong, that Superman’s facing. (When did Titano become a robot or cyborg?  Did I miss that issue?)

For good measure, not only is the Justice League involved with the two titular battling titans (I hate using that word to describe kaiju), but also the Legion of Doom.

Le battle royale!

Hey, do you know what they call a “battle royale” in France?  A fight.

While this is a great idea, I think it would work better as a single, or at most double, premium-sized book.  Stretching the story out over seven issues just seems to be....well, stretching things a bit.

Face facts: Superman alone could stop both Godzilla and Kong AND be home in time for dinner, not to mention the entire Justice League working together.  So expect that: A) either the Legion of Doom come up with a scheme to use the monsters to destroy the heroes; or B) some unknown factor/person is at work to make defeating the kaiju more difficult than it should be.

Either way, as a DC superheroes and kaiju fan, I will be eagerly opening my wallet when these issues arrive at the comic shop.

Kaiju Week in Review (April 2-8, 2023)

Tsuburaya's Big International Push™ for the Ultra Series has been missing one huge element for a while—English dubs for the new shows. These are supposed to be for kids, right? Well, they're finally correcting that with Ultraman Z. This is the only New Generation show I've actually finished since R/B, so I'm pretty thrilled, and it's extremely well-done to boot. OkraTron 5000, the same Dallas-based studio that handled Shin Ultraman, is behind it (and they got Sean Schemmel, Goku himself, as Ultraman Zero). I'm not sure of the exact pace at which they'll be releasing these, but episode 2 is already out as well.

Some rare Godzilla video game news that isn't a Battle Line update or a mobile game collaboration: Zen Studios' Pinball FX will be releasing a trio of Godzilla vs. Kong-inspired digital pinball tables. So a console game collaboration... still an upgrade! (And believe it or not, this is the first game either MUTO has appeared in since that Candy Crush clone back in 2014.) The trial starts April 13.

After only uploading Godzilla Island episodes for a few weeks, Toho's English Godzilla YouTube channel is branching out again with subtitled episodes of Chibi Godzilla Raids Again. It starts... well, April 11, which is why I'm scrambling to get this post out. Since the show is so new (and not a web exclusive), there might be a quick hook on these, so be sure to download them; the TOHO animation channel has already removed the first episode.

After limiting itself to figures of MonsterVerse kaiju who have already been covered by S.H. MonsterArts, Hiya Toys is innovating with a Skullcrawler figure, now in the prototype stage. This is only the third articulated figure of the character, and should easily trounce the Lanard and Playmates versions. Note the elbow spikes: it's either the Skull Devil from Kong: Skull Island or Number 10 from Godzilla vs. Kong.

My skullcrawler plush is finally finished! I'm really pleased with how he came out, despite various imperfections. This is the first plush I've made just because I wanted to in a really long time, and I absolutely love him. He's so cute 💕

If he was straightened out he would be almost 5 feet long, but just laying down normally he's around 4.5 feet. Give or take. He is made of minky and stuffed with SO MUCH polyfil! Every part of him is hand sewn. His arms are jointed, and because they're heavy they dangle pretty freely so he's super floppy. He has safety eyes from Suncatcher craft eyes (21mm dragon eyes in bright gold), and the mouth detailing is done with very watered-down acrylic paint. He has thread sculpting in his face, which gives him a very polite expression. His snout is rounder than I had intended, but I like it as is c: I likely will not make another, unless someone is really willing to pay for the hours and hours of work it takes to make one. C:

Here are some interesting facts about King Kong I'd like to share:

The concept and design for the Skullcrawlers from Kong: Skull Island (2017) were mostly inspired by the two-legged lizard seen in the original 1933 King Kong.

And the deleted scene from the theatrical cut of Peter Jackson's King Kong (2005) where the sailors fight an angry Ferrucutus, that scene was loosely based off the fight against the Stegosaurus in the 1933 film,

It even ends with the dinosaur still moving it's tail even after defeat.

I feel there needs to be a kaiju anything that gives more sympathy to the large-numbers seemingly-more-animalistic monsters, and that commits to it instead of shruging it off, especially if there is an enviromentalist undertone.

The gyaos, the mutos, the skullcrawlers, the baby zillas or wathever you wana call them... I'm rooting for you! I want to see your side of the story!

Hope you feel better soon, but in the meantime, do you have any headcanons for the Mutos or Skullcrawlers?

Thank you, I actually feel fine right now, I just still haven’t tested negative yet so I have to stay home lol.

As for MUTOs or Skullcrawlers, eh, not so much. The only thing I’ll say species wise is that MUTO Prime should not look like that and to me she is not canon. Her face looks like Bayverse Megatron, get that fixed girl. Skullcrawlers are cool how they are though and I don’t have a lot of thoughts. They probably cannibalize themselves a lot tbh.

I do have some individual thoughts for Barb though if you want

- very chill, would push you into a pool at a party

- besties with Rodan and Scylla

- bi

- Her and Godzilla do not get along that well for obvious reasons, but she still considers him a better king than Ghidorah

- Friendly but not super close with Mothra

Ramarak

Portrayed by Kark Urban

The most infamous of Skull Island's Scourges is, of course, Ramarak. The dreaded leader of the Skullcrawlers and his brood are well-known for devouring entire populations of animals, though the skull devil's motivation is actually not as self-serving as most believe...

The Skullcrawlers are constantly ravenous, and are only concerned with satiating their agonising hunger. In a way, they are oddly pitiable, though since some individuals take sadistic pleasure in attacking and killing other creatures they aren’t entirely sympathetic. Ramarak is almost an entirely different beast. Though still in a state of constant starvation, it appears that the effects of hypervory are lesser for alpha skullcrawlers than they are for stooge skullcrawlers, and so he has other things on his mind. Ramarak wishes for his species continued survival and comfort, desiring only to help his fellows in living good lives, and sees the other gods of Skull Island as a threat to that. This has become Ramarak's primary motive in life, to the point where his violent actions in the name of it have led to him being referred to as a "Skullcrawler extremist". Though his interests are primarily in ensuring his species has a good life, he has been known to take sadistic pleasure in tormenting certain Kaiju (particularly Kong), though some believe this may stem from Ramarak attempting to gain some sort of catharsis for towards what he views as misdeeds towards his species.

Everyone on Skull Island either fears or hates the Skullcrawlers, as they all know that if they were ever to come out in large numbers then they would all be screwed. The Kaiju with the most hate for these marauding mosasauroids is Kong due to their exacerbation of the Primal Rage, though some believe that he is projecting his own anger and guilt on them to gain some form of catharsis.  Humanity agrees with the Skull Island Kaiju in that the Skullcrawlers are a threat to be eliminated. Though some organisations (SCALE being the most obvious and prominent of them) argue that the rampant reptiles have a right to live, and MONARCH acknowledges that the threat they pose is not entirely their fault, the Skullcrawlers' hypervory means that they are a severe threat to Skull Island, and if they devour everything there they may spread out to the rest of the world. The Iwi fear the Skullcrawlers more than anything else on Skull Island: in their mythology, they play the role of the psychopomp, being known as the "servants of death" due in large part to the fact that only a handful of humans have ever survived an encounter with a Skullcrawler (the only exceptions are the MONARCH expeditions and the most skilled of the Iwi huntsmen). Ramarak himself is viewed as the god of death. Due to this, they are the primary reason why the tribesmen are mostly silent. 

Even before the bizarre meteor showers that took out a number of Monarch survey stations it had became apparent that the Skullcrawler population had come under attack from an unknown source. With no communication from the operatives and scientists stationed nearby, Monarch launched an investigation and found strange tracks made by machine and another set by made an odd bird like creature. The intruders that had made these tracks had not just gone and killed any Skullcrawlers in their way but also laid waste to the very small Kumonga and Kamacuras population that inhabited the East of the Island. The Skullcrawlers, usually an aggressive and viscous species notably responsible for killing off the Great Apes of Skull Island, had since become more cautious and Emma Russell had suggested that it was not from the King of Skull Island but these intruders that had lead the creatures to act far more timidly. Radiation left on the carcasses of the animals was found to be that same as that coming from the moon. The crush injuries and clean slices that plagued the corpses become unnerving evidence that a titan or a Kaiju was not killing these creatures for food or territorial disputes. Said culprits were killing these creatures with either a purpose or for fun. Emma Russell’s team went on to inspect King Kong and his residence however found it untouched even though the two killer creatures had clearly visited the Ape King. King Kong himself showed no unusual behaviours and the two creatures that had visited him had since left without a trace.
