Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
amazingly , several of the large developments fromGodzilla x Kong : The New Empirewere put in motion long before the moving-picture show ’s release . The 5th big - screen installment in Legendary ’s Monsterverse greatly flourish Godzilla and Kong ’s world , introducing a brand name - raw turning point of its world : the Subterranean Realm . In doing so , Godzilla x Kongreignited an ancient conflict and bring in a powerful scourge in the kind of the Monsterverse ’s Skar King .
The Skar King was a new addition toGodzilla and Kong ’s Monsterverse movies , with his backstory reveal a once - hidden chapter in Godzilla ’s ancient story . However , that ’s not to say that his conflict with Godzilla , Kong , and Mothra get without frame-up . AfterGodzilla x Kong : The New Empire’sending , it ’s apparent that all sorts of reveals from sooner on in the Monsterverse were much more important than they seemed . As it turn out , many were crucial to Godzilla and Kong ’s squad - up movie .
Normally , it would stand to reason that Monsterverse stories tell outside the films wo n’t actually matter in the opulent outline of thing . However , that was hardly the case , asGodzilla x Kongpulled intemperately from multiple source , not just the moving-picture show that preceded it . Fights from the Monsterverse tie - in comics , for example , end up shaping parts ofGodzilla x Kong’sstory , with Godzilla having surprise rematches with two monster he fought on the Thomas Nelson Page rather than on the covert .
7Scylla’s Rebellion Against Godzilla
Godzilla ’s first view inThe New Empire feature an unexpected engagement between him and Scylla , one of the original Titans fromGodzilla : Rex of the Monsters . Going off what happened inKing of the Monstersalone , it may have been surprising to see Godzilla clash with one of the Titans who accepted him as the alpha several years prior . But in the context of use ofGodzilla : Dominion , this go of result make a great mountain of sense . In theGodzilla vs. Konggraphic novel prequel , Godzilla had a brief engagement with Scylla in Georgia .
Godzilla has many king in the MonsterVerse , seem in motion-picture show , TV , novelization , and vivid novel , with some far more withering than others .
Godzilla : Dominionpresented her as a rebellious , somewhat out - of - control monster . Godzilla reined in the Titans and stopped them from go on land when he pulsate Ghidorah , but as explained byDominion , there were some - same Scylla - who did n’t stay in line . Godzilla had to remind Scylla that he was the alphainDominion , with this moment dish out as other grounds of Scylla ’s willingness to defy him . Because of this , it ’s easier to see why Godzilla was so prompt to kill her inThe New Empire . It ’s likely that he had come in to understand that she could n’t be control .

6Shimo’s Debut
Shimo’s Design Was Teased Before Godzilla x Kong
Arguably the biggest hint toward Shimo ’s existence in the Monsterverse come from an maverick source - a telecasting plot . In 2022,Call of Duty : Warzonelaunched a promotional Monsterverse crossing case that featured both Godzilla and Kong . It also showcased some ancient cave paintings depicting some of the Titans . inquisitively , one was of an unidentified monster illogical to any existing Monsterverse designs . Now , though , it ’s readable thatCall of Duty’smystery giant was Shimo all along .
There being some physique of recorded chronicle for Shimo via paintings feels fitting , given what ’s have sex about her now . At Skar King ’s behest , Shimo went to war with Godzilla and started the last Ice Age . It ’s no wonder she leave an impression on the Monsterverse ’s ancient humans , prompting them to memorialize her in their cave murals .
5Shimo Started The Ice Age
King Of The Monsters Confirmed Titans Could Cause Ice Ages
It ’s rightful that Shimo herself was never referenced in the Monsterverse ’s moving picture , but one in special did tease an event she was involve with . The redacted textbook inGodzilla : King of the Monsters’credits affirm thata Titan - related incident was responsible for the Ice Age , but did n’t provide specifics on which monster do it . All that was established was that humans caused a " tragedy , " thus triggering the Ice Age .
The outlook of a Titan being the root lawsuit of the Ice Age was a monumental reveal , and one that ultimately carried over toGodzilla x Kong . It also works well with the wider lore of the Monsterverse . What Ghidorah tried to do in King of the Monsters was proof of how destructive Titans can be to the environment . With their powers , they can reshape the entire clime of the Earth . Just as Ghidorah nearly treat the major planet in a storm by terraforming it , Shimo used her Frostbite Blast , likely the strongest power in the Monsterverse , to eat up the aerofoil with ice and C .
4Titans Can Be Controlled
Godzilla: King Of The Monsters Teased Titan Mind Control
Another aspect ofGodzilla x Kong’sstory that can be traced back toKing of the Monstersis its carrying out of head restraint . InGodzilla x Kong , Skar King used a mysterious gamey crystal to cause unbearable pain to Shimo , essentially bind her to his will . This made Shimo a striver to the Skar King for M of years . Shimo being a " good " monster forced to fight on the behalf of a villain ties in to some wrinkle from the redacted text , which allude to creative thinker control .
agree to the story provided by the credit , homo tried to make striver of the Titans . Exactly how they did it was n’t explicate explicitly , but it was said that they develop method of " telepathic communicating , " which may or may not be how it solve . This also connect toGodzilla x Kong , as there seemed to be a psychic connection betweenthe Monsterverse ’s Shimoand Skar KIng that was held together by the crystal . Skar King seemingly sent mental commands through the crystal to Shimo who either obeyed or pay a painful monetary value for not follow gild .
3The Hollow Earth Has Multiple Realms
Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters Established A Key Hollow Earth Concept
Most of the setup forGodzilla x Kongstems fromKing of the Monsters , but at least one piece of the lore arise fromMonarch : Legacy of Monsters . Apple TV+ ’s show dove back down into theMonsterverse ’s Hollow Earth world , but the position it visited was unique to what was see in the moving picture . What it featured was a place name Axis Mundi , a section of the underground world between the surface and Kong ’s unexampled home . It was referred to as a " realm " inMonarch : Legacy of Monsters .
Thanks toMonarch : bequest of the Monsters , it was translate thatthe Hollow Earth is divided up into several realms , with Axis Mundi being one and the place inGodzilla vs. Kongbeing another . In other quarrel , not all of it look like the Earth explore in the film , with regions of the Hollow Earth boasting their own ecosystems and geography . Godzilla x Kongbuilt on this musical theme when it introduced the Subterranean Realm , a corner of the Hollow Earth world get deeper thanGodzilla vs. Kong ’s .
2Kong’s BEAST Glove
Mechagodzilla’s Parts Were Used To Design Kong’s New Weapon
Despite all the nitwitted destruction he work in Godzilla vs. Kong ’s ending , Mechagodzilla wound up making a positive impact in the sequel . InThe New Empirenovelization , the Monsterverse confirmed that Monarch confiscated APEX ’s Mechagodzilla constituent after Kong destroyed him in Hong Kong . As revealed by the script , studying that technology is what yielded Monarch ’s construction of the BEAST Glove . The Beast Glove is the weaponize tech gauntlet that Monarch equips Kong with in the film , throw him access to hiselectrical powers fromKing Kong vs. Godzilla .
The BEAST Glove became instrumental toGodzilla x Kong : The New Empire’saction . Due to the hurt done to his arm by Shimo , he would n’t been able to be of much help against Skar King , much less survive the fight with Godzilla in Egypt . With it , Kong had a desirable transposition for the Godzilla - powered axe , and now that he carry both weapons , Kong may be at the peak of his power in the Monsterverse - and it ’s all thanks toAPEX creating Mechagodzilla .
1Godzilla’s Evolved Form
Tiamat Was Introduced Before Godzilla x Kong
standardized to the situation with Kong and the BEAST Glove , Godzilla ’s upgrade fromGodzilla x Kongwas also set up ahead of the flick . The Monarch monitor screens in King of the Monsters reveal the public figure and locations of several monsters,11 of which being Titans who did n’t actually appearin the movie . Dominionacted on this reveal , depict off two of the unseen giant , Amhuluk and Tiamat . Both battled Godzilla , with Tiamat - introduced as a sea serpent - providing the more hard challenge of the two .
At the time , there was no meter reading thatDominion’sofficial insertion of Tiamat would ever be relevant to the movies themselves , butGodzilla x Kongproved otherwise . Tweaking the designDominiongave her , Godzilla x Kong : The New Empirebrought Tiamat into live - action , allowing her power source to become the accelerator for Godzilla ’s Evolved chassis and novel pink aesthetic .
