Godzilla Vs. Kong novelization shows we needed at least another hour of runtime!

MemberGiganMay-09-2021 8:19 AMSo, the GVK novelization has come out and there are some major, major things that were cut from the movie! Check it out in these snips I made, I'm too lazy to type it all out. But anyways, here it is:
Sure, we don't need all of this but a good chunk of it should have been in the movie. Maybe we'll get a director's cut someday, but anyways that's all for now folks!
Also, the source was from Wikizilla and please don't forget to sound off in the comments. Also, #ReleaseTheWingardCut!

MemberGiganMay-09-2021 8:22 AMSo, in conclusion WB and Legendary botched so many great opportunities that would have made the story better....

MemberTitanosaurusMay-09-2021 8:35 AMCool to have so many new details, but now I have a big BIG question. Where the hell did that 2nd Ghidorah skull come from?! Like seriously that's a very important detail to either leave out or not consider when writing this movie because either way that's a pretty big plothole!
Long live the king...

MemberGiganMay-09-2021 9:00 AMYeah, that's sort of a biggie.
But I always theorized that there were two Ghidorah skulls piloting Mecha G...

MemberMothra LarvaeMay-09-2021 11:09 AMI just read that same article, and I'm sticking with the paragraph from the differences section that says:
- "The Iwi word for" Godzilla "is" Zo-zla-halawa. "Jia recalls a story her elders told her of Godzilla" [eating] a star "in the Hollow Earth that turned him wicked. The Iwi and Kongs waged war against him for a time, but they were unable to defeat him, resulting in most of the Kongs being killed by Godzilla. Ultimately, they journeyed to the surface and took up residence on Skull Island. "-
What kind of star did Godzilla eat to turn evil? The only two explanations I can think of are some stomach disease for which Godzilla was in a very bad mood, and the other is the return of the Xiliens, with devices to control Kaijus.

MemberGiganMay-09-2021 11:11 AMIt has to be the Xiliens. Gotta be.

AdminGodzillaMay-09-2021 11:19 AMJust understand a lot of this stuff wasn't actually in the Godzilla vs. Kong script, but stuff the author of the novelization made up:
"I hear it has a lot of scenes that were never even in the script. Should be cool to see that take, also I hope it expands on the monster's inner thoughts." - Adam Wingard [source]

MemberGiganMay-09-2021 12:52 PMOh frick, I forgot about that. But still it would've been nice to see a lot of this unfold on screen...

MemberAnguirusMay-09-2021 3:40 PMIn the art of book for King of the Monsters, they bring up the idea that Ghidorah's heads were constantly being torn off by Godzilla and always having to regenerate, it's possible that Alan Jonah found one of these mummified heads that was torn off thousands of years ago and the brain inside was still intact.
Another explanation could be that it was created artificially, using the DNA of the severed head.

MemberGiganMay-10-2021 9:35 AMInteresting theory....

MemberGiganMay-10-2021 9:37 AMI think that’s probably true. I mean now all the titans were shoved into the Hollow earth by goji after KOTM
expecting the worst, sets you up for thr worst
sonictiger
MemberGiganMay-10-2021 9:39 AMWhat I think could be incorporated in Godzilla 3 is the ramifications of the Titans being forced into hibernation and Madison's PTSD since that was (reportedly) in an extended version of MechaGodzilla Vs. Skullcrawler 10

MemberGiganMay-10-2021 9:41 AMGodzilla vs Kong is Godzilla 3
expecting the worst, sets you up for thr worst
sonictiger
MemberGiganMay-10-2021 9:42 AMI meant solo Godzilla aka the Godzilla 3 with no Monkes
sonictiger
MemberGiganMay-10-2021 9:43 AMYes
Djdndnejwnwn
MemberGiganMay-10-2021 9:44 AMBut Nature (Goji) made the titans hibernate, so that shouldn’t really have consequences, that would ruin the themes they’ve had

MemberGiganMay-10-2021 9:45 AMTrue
