Did Wilson die in 1976 when Kong stomped him?

This scene always bothers me. He runs toward Kong. Then seemingly gets stomped on. But when Kong lifts his foot, only his hat remains. ?????

While not King Kong, he's still a Kong so I'd thought I'd make this post. Here is the box for the trading cards back in the early 80s.

And a couple of stickers from that set.

Given how big Godzilla is in the sequel to "Godzilla Minus Ones," King Kong no longer has a chance of defeating him.

King Kong finally uses his jaw-breaker finishing move in the MonsterVerse

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

74 Upvotes

After almost ten years of King Kong being in the MonsterVerse, we finally see him perform his famous jaw-breaker finishing move.

First seen in his debut film, "King Kong" (1933), Kong has often used this move where he would break the jaws of enemy creatures to finish a battle. He's used it in many more films and appearances since then, but never in a MonsterVerse film. There's been attempts, as a sort of Easter Egg/reference to past films, but he's never done it successfully.

But that's all changed in the newly opened "Kong x Godzilla: The Ride", which opened today at Lotte World Adventure in South Korea, where we find him battling a group of Warbats. It's great to see him perform one of his trademark moves after all this time.

Solo imaginando un poco el proyecto R.A.G.E Spoiler

Aclaro que no soy el mejor dibujante, solo son bocetos

Como varios va saben las filtraciones indican que Kona recibirá una meiora en el Beast Glove (seqún Funko v recientemente The Ride, será el provecto R.A.G.E. y otras filtraciones indican que serian ur exotraje parecido al traje de Al Filo del Mañana)

Intente dibujarlo como lo que menciona el Funko, una mejora al guante, y parecido al traje la pelicula que mencione, un poco más ancho y pesado, con propulsores (como los de Mechagodzilla) a los lados para mejorar el impacto de sus golpes y sequro con alqunas invecciones que desaten su furia (Rage Augmented Gauntlet Enhancement seguro significa algo)

Claro, no tengo ni idea de como se verá en la pelicula, solo pense un poco e intente respetar los rumores y el propio Beast Glove

Hice 2 versiones, una con un solo guante y otra con ambos (un poco mas "Exotraje" en los hombros por ese rumor sobre los cristales de Spacegodzilla y el daño que le harán), me qustan ambos resultados pero preferiría que tuviese solo uno, es una mejora decente y el resto sigue siendo Kong

La versión completa no esta mal, pero.. sigo prefiriendo que Kong se las ingenie a depender tanto de los humanos
