I watched "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" earlier. It was fun. Good mindless monster mash of a film. Funny how much some of the stuff with Kong in the movie made me think, just a little, of Primal. If only for the lack of dialogue and the importance of character through action and expression. I have to say, while he was only onscreen for a very short while, all told, I did really like the Skar King as a villain. He was just vicious, with a sadistic streak that almost matches King Ghidorah. You watch his scenes and find yourself eagerly waiting for Kong and Godzilla to punish him. It was also funny to me to think how the Monsterverse really builds up to Kong becoming, well, King Kong. On Skull Island he was "king" by virtue of protecting the Iwi. In "Godzilla versus Kong" he finds his axe and claims a throne, but that ancient home is long dead; Kong's "kingship" is a technicality more than anything deeper. Then in this film, he stands up to, and then overthrows a tyrant.
