While the tussle between Godzilla and Kong is kept much shorter in this film–although you do get to see the king of the monsters suplex the ape wonder through a pyramid–The New Empire has no shortage of massive kaiju brawls. The film dives further into the mythology surrounding these two titans, and reveals that Kong isn’t the last of his kind. Unfortunately, these Kong kaiju are ruled over by the Scar King, a tyrannical titan aiming to conquer the surface world and who has gained control of a titan that can give even a powered-up Kong a run for its money.
