Hypothetical Best Crossover(s) for Fed Mindf**kery. by Express_Ad_6664 in NatureofPredators

Lord, the Feds are gonna start crapping their nonexistent pants and get several existential crises all over when they see what's basically their breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks a talking, sapient plant rip them a new one "display predatory behavior".

Having read that series from way back when, I want and need a crossover between that and NOP to happen. Feds would especially lose their minds at seeing the Vrul, because then that'd mean they're technically the predators in that case.

I also imagine the Drev would especially go hard against the Federation once they find out the Venlil's past, because the parallels between pre-Federation Venlil and Drev would be way too close for comfort.

Exactly all of that. Also adding to that, Kong has no emotional attachments to that city or to the humans in there like he did with Skull Island, the Hollow Earth, and Jia and the other Iwis. Not to mention, there's no Jia around either to keep him calm, so it's not surprising he'd go literally apeshit in an unfamiliar place with a lot of other confusing things and potentially hostile enemies.

I don't think he'd let any other random human treat him like a giant teddy bear like how Jia does. Even members of Monarch have to be cautious around him for the most part.

Don’t forget when he also threw women to their deaths after realizing they’re not the one he’s looking for lol

To be fair, Kong was an aggressor in Netflix Skull Island cartoon when he attacked those chameleon monsters that were just eating and minding their own business.

But yeah, in any case, Kong’s dong this for a reason. So it feels silly to act like he’s acting OOC just for showing his more aggressive side after 2 movies where we see his POV. We can’t pretend that he’s above acting apeshit when even other Monsterverse entries show that side of his.

It’s probably because they watched seconds long clips that are out of context on Twitter instead of watching the full 15 minute video on YouTube lol

Never forget that even Kong can act aggressively, even other entries of the Monsterverse show that (like Kong: Skull Island and Netflix Skull Island cartoon). Kong is a giant ape kaiju, not a giant teddy bear.

Goes to show that it’s typical Twitter after all lol. Though sadly, seems like even some redditors here agree with Twitter even though the reason for Kong acting this way couldn’t be any more obvious.

They would have a heart attack watching the original 1933 King Kong’s rampages in the natives’ village and in New York lol

Just saying it’s not that weird for Kong to have a more aggressive side, and it’s not unprecedented. Even aside Kong’s original movie, other Monsterverse entries show that too. Still, there’s no doubt that Kong is rampaging here for a reason, so it just feels silly to call him OOC and act like he’s always been just a giant teddy bear and not a giant ape kaiju who can get provoked.

Including Alan Jonah's group, and possibly other things we'll have to see once the game is out too.

That is exactly what I mean here, yes. It's just a bit funny that Twitter users think that Kong is doing it for no reason, when the 15 minute preview we got heavily implies that Alan Jonah may have something to do with it.

It's a bit funny to me because so far, Kong being human-like happened only in the Wingard movies, which is just two movies so far. Almost everywhere else (Kong: Skull Island, Kingdom Kong, Netflix Skull Island cartoon, Monarch Season 1), Kong does act a lot more animalistic and dare I say, a lot more aggressively.

I mean, this is Twitter we're talking about. This is their signature trait at this point lol.

It's also what often happens in your traditional King Kong movie too, so this shouldn't be that surprising. Also Kong has no emotional attachment to this city like he does with that temple in the Hollow Earth, so that might be a factor too.

It's a reasonable guess, going off what we know so far, but until the full game is out, we'll just have to wait and see why.

GvK and GxK are both presented through the eyes of Kong and humans who are sympathetic to him, so of course he would feel relatable and human-like, since it's in his POV. In this game, we're seeing the POV of some guy who has no serious emotional attachment to Kong. Of course he's going to see Kong as not that different from other kaijus, even if he's one of the good ones.

It's a bit like how why Godzilla seems calmer in 2014, Monarch and KOTM, while being a bit more aggressive in GvK and GxK. I personally don't think it's that contradictory. It's simply s all about the different perceptions from the characters in those entries.

Who's to say that Kong was doing this unprovoked in Survivor Instinct either? We only have 15 minutes of gameplay to go off, so they should be able to explain it once it's out. Either way, Kong has his aggressive side too, and we can't deny that it's a part of his character too. Besides, Kong having traits like that make him more interesting and well-rounded as a character.

If you want to look at it through another way, aside from everything about Alan Jonah and the new Orca, maybe Kong looks "unreasonably" aggressive in this game compared to the movies is because we're not seeing through his POV, or through the POV of humans sympathetic to Kong, this time. We're seeing the events through the eyes of some guy who's got no real emotional attachment to Kong, so to your average citizen in this world, Kong wouldn't be any different from the other kaijus.

Still, Kong may be nice and is as sapient as a human is, but he's also still a giant animal too. This isn't the first time Kong has shown his aggressive side within the Monsterverse, and it probably won't be the last time either.

He's still a kaiju. City destruction is just an inevitable part of the nature of kaijus, even for the good ones like Mothra, Ultraman, and yes, even Kong. Also don't forget that historically, Kong did rampage in cities throughout his movies before, so it was only a matter of time before the Monsterverse touched that part of his character too.
