To not go into too much detail, Kong is like a teenager in this film for his kind. Here, he's 98' or 30 metres tall, but not even half the size of a fully matured Kong species. In the 2005 film you saw, it's essentially a remake of the very first King Kong movie made in 1933. Standing 25' or 7.62 metres tall and resembles more to that of an African silverback.

[@DrewsterRooster37]

The 2005 movie also isn't canon to the new monsterverse

[@kmc19xx59]

How tall is he gonna be when he's reached his max height 😳

[@jonathanh3214]

​@kmc19xx59 his size from godzilla vs kong is about the size of a adult, he is about twice to a little bit bigger then his skull island size

[@DoomZzx]

@@kmc19xx59 Kong is fully grown by the time he fought Godzilla hes on par in size with him at 335 feet tall, Kong is an adult now. Kong now lives in hallow earth and might even GET BIGGER due to the radiation. The next movie with them comes out in 2024.

[@kmc19xx59]

@DoomZzx oh shit 😳 sweet sounds 🔥

haha Loki, Captain Marvel, and Fury all look so different in this. Great reaction!

[@nguyentrongman9877]

We also got Casey from the TVA in here

[@HiZombieKitty]

I love this film a lot more than I was expecting to! Like some other people have pointed out, this isn't connected to the 2005 King Kong; this is part of the Monsterverse that includes this, 2014's Godzilla, Godzilla: King of Monsters, Godzilla vs Kong remake and the current Monarch series on Apple TV+. One thing that hasn't been pointed out is the cinematography; a lot of the shots are gorgeous and, because this is set just after the Vietnam war, a lot of the shots are inspired by the film 'Apocalypse Now'. The posters were amazing for this film, because of the inspiration it took from that film. Edit: Fun Fact: The Skull Crawlers design was inspired by the Pokemon Cubone :)

[@dillonsukram9381]

The guy who saw Kong fight the Squid did the motion capture for Kong himself. This movie was amazing when I first saw it and still is. I thought they were gonna make Brie Larson another damsel in distress but she, and many other characters, turned out to be very useful and interesting. These movies are great, Godzilla King of the Monsters is next.

[@casparreggiani]

If I’m not wrong he also did the motion capture for Koba in Planet of the Apes

[@ScreamingScallop]

_Kong: Skull Island_ is part of the Monarch/Monsterverse franchise, and _its_ Kong is related to the Toho Pictures' '60s Kongs of _King Kong vs Godzilla_ and _King Kong Escapes,_ who were "kaiju" sized (and even then his size varied to suit the situation). The Kongs of 1976, the 1986 sequel _King Kong Lives,_ and 2005 are all inspired by the 1933 original, and keep down to a more human-relatable scale. (There's also two versions of _Mighty Joe Young,_ each with their charms, about an _actual_ gorilla who is just very, very large, but not of such size as to be considered a different species.)

[@rygornspectre7142]

Spoilers for Don ... props for not spoiling the godzilla crossover.

[@malgramixrivera0927]

If you’re curious the creatures have names being: Kong, skir Buffalo, Mother long legs, Skull Crawlers, Leaf Wings, spore mantis,Giant Mire Squid and the Iwi civilization and there are other creatures that didn’t appear but in the comic and other media being: spirit tiger, psycho Vulture, Siren Jaw, Death Jackels, giant ants, vine vipers, and vine stranglers.

[@erictrautman2362]

According to the wiki for the comic, psycho vultures and leaf wings are the same creature.

[@erictrautman2362]

And the giant ants were mentioned

[@erictrautman2362]

They’re also missing the swamp locusts and magma turtles

[@sharansingh9221]

[@imortrayalnf]

When Don started laughing when bro got slapped into the wall is sick work😂😂😂

[@yanglor2639]

Watch Godzilla, Godzilla King of Monsters, then Godzilla vs Kong. Can't wait for the next reaction video for this mini movie sequels.

[@hayleycameron4591]

The animated show that takes place in the timeline is actually pretty good. I definitely would recommend it, however it’s not exactly essential to the story and you would be able to understand what happens without it. But I’d still say it’s really good in terms of a show.

[@Megaspinosaurusrex]

To clear things up, king kong 2005 was its own thing. It was a faithful remake if the 1933 king kong. Kong skull island is part if the monsterverse, a cinematic universe where he coexist with godzilla. This movie reimagined kong's story to fit alongside godzilla. The story takes place in the 70s. The other monsterverse movies are: Godzilla 2014 Godzilla king of the monsters 2019 Godzilla vs kong 2021 The franchise also has two shows: Skull island, an anime sequel to the movie Monarch legacy of monster, a tie in live action show. Hope this was helpful and not too confusing. If you want to continue to series the next step would be Godzilla 2014.

[@purgeblue]

Honestly, i’ve never seen such a good reaction from getting jumpscared by the Skull Crawlers😂😂😂

[@Cxsonn]

I recommend watching Godzilla next, then Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and then, finally, Godzilla vs. Kong (the best one, in my opinion).

[@Xilef_52]

OK Don, now you have been introduced to the Monster-verse, next movie (in in-universe, chronological order) is Godzilla 2014, and yes it is great.

[@KaneS-e1k]

I like this guy because he's not like other reaction channels I've watched. He actually pays attention to what he's watching. Other people I've seen will miss the most obvious stuff that isn't even meant to be hidden in the slightest.

[@DanielHdGamer]

I like the one with jack black cause the story and the more details of the island this one was more of a place holder for the monster universe and a reason to make king kong way way bigger then his average is to compare against godzilla but then again no one cared about height size back then it was just for fun to film and cool

[@bly1515]

“Ooohhhh raaaaaaaaa” Pretty much my same reaction when seeking kong in the fire

[@danielm.595]

Yeah, it's understandable the hate that Packard has for Kong, but dude, you were the one that went there and started bombing the place, Kong had no interest at all in leaving the island, and if it weren't for Ghidorah's awakening and subsequent chaos, he wouldn't leave it ever.

[@Liam-sy4eh]

You don't come to Kong's home thinking you can bomb it and claim it for yourself, man ain't gonna let slide

[@popgoes6788]

Loved the reaction!!! BTW, the order you should have watched these Monsterverse movies in is Godzilla (2014) first, Kong Skull Island (2017) second, Godzilla King of the Monsters (2019) third, and finally Godzilla vs Kong (2021). But it's fine that you watched Skull Island first. Also, the 2005 Kong you watched last time has little to no barring on any of these movies.

[@ethanm7482]

I think he’s doing the chronological timeline of the franchise not movie order.

[@sastaassh1112]

[@Carchar_25]

16:10 😂

[@Ecl1pse09]

Here are the things that you needs to known, so that you don’t spoil yourself: This movie is not a prequel to the 2005 King Kong. This movie is a retailing of the King Kong story so that it will fit into the Monsterverse. Yes, this movie is part of a cinematic universe with Godzilla and other Toho’s monster. The traditional order of the movie that you should watch is Godzilla 2014, this movie, Godzilla King of the Monsters, Godzilla vs Kong. As for their tv show, I haven’t seen the Skull Island yet, so I don’t known where it fit into all of this; and the Monarch show is jumping back and for between the 1950s and 2015 Anyway, I hope that you still react to the Monsterverse

[@carloseduardobarbosa438]

Something that I love about this movie is how small Kong is compared to the rest of the monster-verse but still, Skull Island is the best movie able to show the BIG attribute of the Titans, like Kong is still smaller then Godzilla but they know how to give this effect of “He is MASSIVE.” And I love how they play with it.

[@newmanproductionentertainm5127]

John C. Reilly’s line “Kong’s the last of his kind but he’s still growing.” is foreshadowing King Kong’s fight with Godzilla in 2021’s Godzilla vs Kong since Godzilla is almost 400 ft tall.

[@justinpitcock5312]

The cast for this is beyond loaded. From Eazy E and Dr Dre to father and son from Step Brothers, to all of the Marvel actors and I can’t forget Braga and the FBI agent in Fast and Furious, one more the icing on the cake John Goodman. I’ll also guarantee I forgot two or three people.

[@dabosssman7027]

Love this one can’t wait for the meet up of the 2

[@OVER-RANNUS]

The seismic charges were for two reasons. One was that they were taking measurements of how thick the earth was to see if there was a possibility of a hollow earth. The second reason was that they were trying to get Kong’s attention. Also Kong’s only 100 feet, he gets BIGGER.

[@MANnamedUNKIND]

I am so excited to see this journey into the monsterverse...yes I'm a fan boy. Edit: you kinda watched it out of order so you should watch godzilla 2014 next and then godzilla king of the monsters and then godzilla vs kong ( you don't need the show)

[@bushhhyy]

Fantastic reaction,...I have been a longtime fan of Kong,..saw the original with Fay Wray, when I was a kid,..fell in love with the stop-motion, all the Harryhausen stop-motion movies, the old Sinbad, movies, Jason and the Argonauts, all those in the 50's, late 60's,..and of course giant monster verse with Godzilla, also saw 50 ft Woman,..and another one where this soldier is exposed to something, maybe radiation, and grows to enormous size,..but I found beasts like Godzilla, and giant robots like Jet Jaguar more appealing,..I was hooked,..there was later movies, like Mighty Joe Young(original black and white), which was cool, but not as good as Kong, there's just something about giant animals,..when original Conan The Barbarian came out, went to see it,..didn't dream he was gonna do battle with a giant snake,..love that scene,..it's not long enough,..and the thing about that, I mean we know there were enormous dinosaurs that use to roam the Earth, but no one can say anything like Godzilla or Kong, but there were enormous snakes,,...loved thd reaction do keep going, Godspeed, Peace ✌

[@ghostsurfer23]

From a strictly movie-making/business perspective, this film shouldn't have really been anything. It's kind of like the first Thor movie. They kind of only made it to set up their cinematic universe/establish a big name character. BUT THEN THEY MADE IT SO GOOD! Like, the action, horror, and cinematography are all top notch, with an all-star cast to boot. You get a cool WWII veteran character who is like a man out of time, and Samuel Jackson as the soldier who isn't ready for the war to be over. There's just...so much quality shit in this film. It's kind of a bummer that this film is remembered as a stepping stone to a crossover movie. As much as I like this cinematic universe (it's really pretty neat, the Monsterverse) I almost wish this movie could just exist on its own.

23:36 you can see the hand is too long for kongs. That was there to foreshadow the new alpha that has already traveled to skull island from hollow earth in GVK. Never realized it? Well that why they put it there, for story. Cool right? Yeah that’s how I thought, the new “scar king” guy has been everywhere. And if you’ve already watched GVK you would know that they said there’s a hollow earth portal to skull island. Scar king was looking for Kong but he had never found him. If you have seen the GXK: the new empire, you know that scar king likes his red prints as a sign for (I own this or I’ve been here). I just think it’s cool how they foreshadow a movie they haven’t even started working on. Fits in perfectly.
