It's also a really funny reminder of just how much Kong's size and power has varied, since you have two or three different incarnations of Godzilla, some lesser kaiju like Gorosaurus, and a hundred-meter evil Kong, teaming up with some slightly altered T-rexes, an anaconda not far off from some actual prehistoric life, and a regular biplane.

[@Obamasandwich0]

[@griffin330]

Legendary's Kong has definitely made a special place in our hearts, I think the fact that he is so "human", his protective and heroic instinct, the affection he can show to humans and how he always gets up again no matter how much he gets knocked down makes him my favorite. King Kong from 2005 is probably the best movie, but Legendary's Kong is my favorite King Kong.

I don't know why but I'm absolutely in love with the design of Mechani-Kong from King King Escapes. I can't really point out the exact reason, I just really like most old robot depictions from movies and shows.

You know considering that 2005 Kong was old and yearning for the family that he lost and Monsterverse Kong never had a family cause they all died before he was properly born I sort of want to see a crossover story about 2005 Kong adopting Monsterverse Kong when he was young and then have the now giant Monsterverse Kong taking care of his old and way smaller dad.

The 1933, 1976, and 2005 films are all masterpieces. The Monsterverse stuff has been amazing as well. King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) is super fun. I haven’t seen Son of Kong, King Kong Escapes, or King Kong Lives yet, but will soon.

[@TopsyTriceratops]

It always astounds me how accurate you make these models. Textures, sounds, actions, and even animation styles. Just blows my mind!

[@Gojirawars03]

3:46 1976 is still my favorite version of the character. It’s like the equivalent to the Heisei Godzilla, a much scarier and more intimidating update to the Toho Showa suit concept. Expert model and suit work, no CGI required, and he was so expressive and lively because there were real human eyes under that mask (granted, with contact lenses on to make them more ape-like).

[@SparkZ1420]

I grew up with the 76 Kong being constantly played every weekend on TV during the 90s, so it will always be my favorite

The next year Dad would take me to a 1977 film called Star Wars.
