Fans erupted with roaring celebration yesterday when the firstGodzilla vs. Kong traillerwas finally released. Teasing the oncoming epic clash between the titular kaiju legends, the footage has people picking sides, with some lining up behind the ape king, while others put their money on the god lizard.
Some fans are simply insulted that Kong would even dare challenge Godzilla, though the trailer suggests that, thanks to somewell-crafted weaponry, the battle will be more evenly matched than many first thought.
Still, it looks likeKing Kongwill fear more than a dash of very real fear when he first lays eyes on his opponent.
While there is understandably a lot of love forGodzilla, Kong is not without his admirers.
The trailer has proven so convincing for some that it even has them considering switching sides, stuck between a rock-spined lizard and a hard-as-nails ape king.
Though nobody yet knows who will emerge victorious when the titans meet on screen, it sure to be so epic that it will render every blockbuster hereafter completely pointless.
Of course, there are some who hope thatGodzilla Vs Kongwill find the monstrous pair put aside their weapons and fists and settle their differences with a more building-friendly game of basketball.
If certain speculation turns out to be true though, then it won’t matter who wins between Godzilla and Kong, with the potentialarrival of MechaGodzillarendering their feud moot in the face of certain destruction.
Fans have been waiting a very long time for the trailer, and it certainly did not disappoint. “Legends collide in ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ as these mythic adversaries meet in a spectacular battle for the ages, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance,” the officialGodzilla vs. Kongsynopsis states. “Kong and his protectors undertake a perilous journey to find his true home, and with them is Jia, a young orphaned girl with whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond.
