This scene alone proves we can have a Monsterverse movie WITHOUT the humans and still have our Monsters convey emotions and such without any human intervention

Skar King: “thought you’d be bigger…but you’re *definitely* the one…long way from home aren’t you…?”

Love how calm Kong is in this scene.. He's fought all the biggest and baddest. He is just patiently sizing this dude up...

1:30 I remember seeing the Skar King pointing and laughing at Kong image on Twitter as a meme and immediately thought it was fake. My reaction to actually seeing it happen in theaters was amazing lmao

So much emotion seen from the monkey faces. Monsterverse just keeps on getting better and better with each movie.

Kong seems to be pretty calm. He didnt want to hurt SK over a little taunt, his plans might have been to be polite and not hurt his own kind. See how Kong instantly changed his mind ones SK pushed one in the fire. Thats why Kong is the rightfull king

I love how Kong only starts to get angry when SK messes with Suko, and his friend getting pushed into the lava was the point where Kong decided, “Alright, he’s going down”

0:48 Its so dope how they literally gave him a gangsta stance 💀 He really said “this my mf house” lol

It was all butterflies for scar until he threw that whip on Godzilla😂

0:47 that pose goes hard for absolutely no reason

0:36 I love how it looks like Skar's wearing an ammo belt around him when you first see him or if you see him from far away, and then you look closer and realize it's a spine, when he first comes out of his throne room he looks like an old skinny, depraved war veteran and it looks SICK

The fact that every single Ape Titan there is at least 250ft-300ft gives a real idea on just how MASSIVE everything there is. That "little rock" that the ape who was push knocked aside, would be the size of a whole building.

What a fucking entrance of a villian... There were literal chills I had in the theater first seeing him

It’s badass when every ape bowed to Skar King when he made his entrance except Kong. Kong deserves more respect and a new title as King of the Apes

Love the shot around 1:00 with Kong standing strong while the rest cower.

Love Skar Kings roar. Sounds more like a bellow than an outright scream.

2:16 that roar was tough asf

Its really easy to forget that these guys are the size of skyscrapers.

Kong has got so much personality, you just can't help but cheer for him. This character development has truly been remarkable.

Skar King was SUCH a great villain monster! Malicious, a little unhinged, egotistical, tyrannical, a slave driver, megalomaniacal (which is really saying something for a Titan!), and so many things that we classify as "evil"! I mean, he was about to hurt and possibly kill Suko, when another ape intervened. But Skar still wanted SOMEONE to pay for bringing Kong, an outsider, so he killed Suko's friend, provoking Kong's rage.

1:30 Skar King laughing at Kong’s metal tooth

Not every villian needs to be “in the right” or complex, sometimes they just need to be a piece of work to hate on

Skar King: the villain that appears to be terrifying and cool before doing something unforgivably disgusting the next scene.

I had seen people complaining that Skar King isn't strong enough compared to Ghidorah or Mechagodzilla, but it's not comparable. The Skar King is very old (probably several centuries or even millennia) and therefore physically diminished and he is not a mecha or a three-headed space dragon. Plus, he spent all this time lounging around on his throne like a true dictator while his slaves did all the work for him and relying on his control crystal over Shimo to instill fear and stay in power. Skar King does not need to be physically strong to prove that he is a good villain, on the contrary he is perfect like that: an old titan thirsty for power and revenge, who delights in the suffering of others, intelligent and even vicious, but blinded by this need for power and control which will ultimately cause his downfall. In his youth, Skar King was surely a real monster in terms of strength and I even think he could have killed Kong face to face.

What makes Scar King interesting isn't his power. It's his crualty and intelligence.

2:04 the way Skar King smiles just before he kills Suko’s caretaker, you can tell he did that just to provoke Kong. And to Kong, Suko’s grief reminded him of his trauma of losing his parents when he was a child

0:19 Sitting pose was too clean. 0:46 Standing pose too clean. 1:27 The pose after checking Kong's teeth too clean. 1:44 The way it approached the monkey too clean as well. Nice intro for a villain.😂

1:30 "Yo guys get a load of this fvcking guy!" -Skar King

The villainous swag Skar King had in his manniserms were too much. The swaying shoulders, the condescending, "who tf you think you are?" Look. S-tier entrance

Really like Kong's roar at 2:17. One of the more raw and intense roars of his. He wasnt gonna let Skar King slide with that. This motherfucker is going down

The way kong was looking at the other Monkey’s this entire scene had me weak asf. He’s so relatable😂 Kong: Do y’all know who tf I am?💀

I love the dominance Kong asserts in this scene. He's standing in the middle of a massive tribe of apes who previously showed themselves to be hostile and is face to face with their leader that has clear ill intent, and he remains completely chill and unphased. When the Skar King pushes one of the apes into the fire, Kong doesn't hesitate for a second to challenge him.

0:48 that stance literally says “who this lame ass mf y’all brought to my house” 🤣

I like Suko’s “aæh” roar, and the fact that Skar King stands lazily like he don’t give a crap about anything anymore.

I do love how they introduce him, since it shows that he's a ruler with an iron fist and is a serious threat to reckon with how evil he is. Plus I did like how they remind us of like with Peter Jackson's King Kong, that non-human primates can laugh too.

I love that Kong is finally getting his own villains to keep, but I also would love to see a return of Robo-Kong from King Kong Escapes. It be cool to see those two reunited

Such a great villain. He doesn't need to be powerful or strong to be such a threat. His cruelty and brain are what make him a villain that Godzilla, Kong and Mothra can fight only together.

i swear, Skar King's roar feels a lot less intimidating on here than in the theater, idk why

I noticed numerous things about the Skar King. As of time of writing this comment, me and my girlfriend saw this movie last night. The Skar King had the kind of rev up his roars. His arms were brought out from in front of him to the his side every time he roared. Kong didn’t have to do that. Plus my girlfriend noticed that Skar King was not as strong as Kong. I pointed out that because of that, he’s faster and more agile. He was a beast in more ways than one and it was very satisfying to see how the film ended.

This movie really shed light on how human kong really is, he was always kind to the apes unconditionally, and stood up for them without hesitation.

1:11 Kong bows to no one.

1:30 “haha bro thinks he’s him.”

I love how they humanized Kong and the other titans with facial expressions even without dialogue to make them talk

Skarr king had like a anime villain vibe to him with the swag in his stance n walk n the “lazy” like stance n acrobatic fighting style. Like light yagami type stance but also the vibe of the red hair kid from assassination classroom (I forgot his name) but u can tell he had swag to em

Can someone explain to me how a 2 and a half minute long clip with no dialogue has better characterization and emotion than the entire 1 hour and 58 minutes of The Lion King remake?!

1:24 I think it’s kinda funny how Kong let Skar king put his finger in his mouth.

I like when Skar king is laughing at Kongs tooth, kong Is just looking at a different direction😂 1:31

People are hating on Skar King, calling him fodder etc (even though he tanked a magenta beam from the strongest Godzilla we’ve seen) but I love his energy. He doesn’t have to be Ghidorra level strong, the guy is just an asshole and is kinda swaggy too

This is literally Planet of the apes except that the apes are the size of buildings and harness the power of an enormous ice lizard

1:39 look at Kong sulking in the background

Skar king was wasted potential. What a cool design, enemy, roar, and everything else. They should've shown off his agility and combat skills more in the last fight. They reduced him to chasing the crystal.

1:51 Gnarled Finger: Please sire, he's your son, show mercy

2:17 I think that's the most pissed kong roar I've heard.

1:33 Skar King: “this guy thought he was gonna get an end credits scene”

One of the most badass villain entry in the monster verse.

The way Skar laughed was hilarious

Skar King was just pure evil. A sadistic monster. Kong knew he was extremely dangerous the second he saw him. And he needed to stop him.

Skar King: *WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!*

Skar King's entrance was my best cinema experience 🫡

I think the cool touch was that the Skar King had throne guards. And when he made his entrance he was walking behind them before they made their split and kicked the smaller ape to the side. My favorite part there.

0:10 One Eye:"My Lieg-" Guard:"Stand Back!" One Eye:"My Liege! Another one...Like us! He defies us!" Skar King:"The last mistake he will ever make."

Bro kong was pissed as soon as skar king killed the ape and also what a badass roar 2:12

The emotions and graphics is really really good, excellent work. This version Kong is the best I would like to include Godzilla as well great job I mean wow!!! spectacular

0:50 Kong: “Who’s this Slenderman lookin’ ahh?”

0:45 I love his bad posture stance here like he owns the place

Skar King has the best villain introduction in the Monsterverse

Watched the movie the other day and I’ll be honest it was pretty darn good

Skar King: “I’ve got a tip for ya…. don’t let no one get this close….”

0:32 That introduction was menacing

I love how despite obviously being nowhere near Kong in terms of raw strength and endurance, he's by NO means a weak or incompetent opponent. His highly acrobatic fighting style and sheer cunning allow him to face Kong on a fairly even level and the skill he has with his whip is nothing to scoff at. Honestly If Godzilla hadn't supercharged himself prior I genuinely believe SK could given him a decent fight before ultimately getting atomized.

I don't know who decided to have his poses and movements look just like an anime yakuza street thug but bless them that was not what I expected from a godzilla movie.

This was so well done. If there is movie with just monsters and story telling done this way it would amazing. No annoying human characters.

Suko being like "Oh, No! Now you've done it, Kong!" Was too funny.

1:56 Fun fact! You can see Kong grabbing his axe! He's being very cautious of what Scar king can do! I really love details like this in movies! It shows you the RAW emotion through these characters and they delivered! Good work to the GxK team who made this movie happened!

You can see how peaceful was Kong in this movie he even lets SK disrespect him at first if that means no more fight, he had the hope to just be one more of his kind until he saw the true intentions of SK

My old man ass in 2089 leaving my room when my great nephew and friends are playing videogames: 0:32

Skar King being a cruel dictator is fascinating because I have read somewhere that occassionally chimpanzee can be observed doing this too in real life and Skar King is giant red chimpanzee

Kongs journey in this movie with Suko is handled so well. Not a single line of dialogue is spoken but you know everything that’s being said through gestures and grunts and roars. Hats off to wingard, can’t wait for gxk 3!

this scene was one of the best

Its awesome of the writers to give Kong an archnemesis after decades, just like Godzilla v. Ghidorah (its always random dinos or reptiles). Im hoping they keep this rivalry in future Kong iterations.

1:10 the music is what makes this standoff feel so powerful. Two kings toe to toe at one another

The way the Scar King stands and sizes up on King gave me God Of War 2018 flashbacks. Same way of how Baldur sizes up on Kratos

0:25 Those eyes🥶

They made the kaiju more human like in this movie than any other, tight! And the way Skar king stood on that ledge, arms hanging down, head tilted, was so cool

This scene... this scene right here... This is how you give a kaiju character. In just 5 minutes (I'm also referencing the fight after this and the sequences before), we get everything that we need to know about Skar King, who he is, and why we should fear him. And I love it so much

0:32-1:01 Now that's what I call presentation. Shining eyes, in the dark, coming out of the shadow, fierce looking, and with some henchmen of his own. Forget King Ghidorah, Scar King is officially the greatest villain in the history of Hollow Earth. Jumping out, landing with a rumble, and everybody turns frail when he's on the stage. Such a fierce and remarkable antagonist.

Skar is such a great villian alongside King Ghidorah! Skar is emotive and expressive by his body language and roars and grunts as hes the kinda ape u dont wanna screw with as hes confirmed to be thousands of years old and has probably fought alot of past kaijus bigger then he is. Seriously when hes on screen u feel his impact as hes ruthless and rules like a tyrant and will not hesitate to kill anyone trying to oppose him in his kingdom. I wanna know who played him in his motion capture as that man deserves an award! And Kong here sees this red ape as a bully and a true psychopath. He sees the others around him bow down in fear and not respect but for thier lives. Kong is the opposite of Skar for sure as he shows compassion for others and respect as he helped that one ape up after the other whipped him ferociously. This proves to me that Adam Wingard understands these monsters and thier personalities.

Damn, King Louie made an appearance in these films

I'll say this: Skar king is the best Monsterverse villain so far. His entrance was cold. Everything that was said about him in the scene before this was conveyed without a single line of dialog. I actually feel sympathy for him despite him being this cruel and actually evil. I guess it's because he's the only one with a sense of humor (sry Kevin). The constant smirks and we can forget about 1:29. The whole theater started laughing too. He might not be as powerful as Muto Prime or MechaG but he sure as hell made his screen time memorable. I hope he becomes Kongs "Ghidorah". His arch rival in following continuities once the Monsterverse is over. Ghidorah is still one of( because there's 2 others that share that spot with him) the best Godzilla villains period.

Gotta give it to Skar, he’s the smartest ape in the monsterverse The first encounter with Godzilla charged his breath, he ran for the hills A smart coward is a dangerous enemy

I really enjoyed this movie. It had everything I always wanted to see for Kong

I was initially skeptical of Skar King, but the moment at the 1:30 mark convinced me otherwise. Despite not being as formidable as King Ghidorah or Mechagodzilla, Skar King's unique personality won me over.

0:26 love skar kings roar. Play this on my loud speakers outside at night. This could terrify someone.

Skar King really is the exact opposite of Kong. Kong being younger muscular stronger compassionate and understanding is the exact opposite of what Skar is. He is scraggly, old, experienced but cruel, evil and hungry for power. This is the end of Kong's story and Skar was the perfect villain to end it off. Also he easily has the most personality out of any antagonist. The scene where he laughs at Kong is hilarious but shows how dastardly he is

1:47 You gotta admit it was very brave and admirable of Suko’s caretaker to tell Skar to stop, unfortunate it cost their life

Seriously one of the best movies this year

Without a doubt the best entrance of a titan I've ever seen in the monstroverse, I remember getting to the cinema's bathroom in time and being able to see this tremendously beautiful scene, almost falling while going up the stairs lol

A movie with no dialogues between monsters yet we all could understand... they basically built a universal lenguage that every country can understand without needing words. What a feat

Finally got to see this movie 🥳 was so flippin good. Wish it was longer

Gnarled finger literally begged skar king not to hurt the boy and Skar literally took offense to that and killed him right in front of kong to piss him off What a fuckin menace
