Godzilla Suite | Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (Original Soundtrack) by Tom Holkenborg

Godzilla! I think at this point it's hard to say anything new about Godzilla in these movies given you know what to expect, but I always dig seeing him tear monsters up and be angry, especially in that badass new evolved state. Holkenborg's highly controversial Godzilla theme is back in all it's glory, and while it's given more quiet variations it doesn't exactly change the mould from how it sounded last film. That is, until he evolves, where his theme is overtaken by violent synth and pulsating electronics. It's very befitting of his newly irradiated, powerful form, and it's a welcome change of sound for the monster.

I love how well they mixed his 2014 theme in a bit with the 2021 theme, would have loved a bit more 2019 in there though.

[@brotherbarbatos8981]

Godzilla has progressively gotten more and more aggressive ever since 2014. He is just seeking out beef with other titans. It won’t be long before he just snaps and goes for humanity.

[@bhargavipba]

Agressive about protecting the earth yes. He only kills destroyer titans and those who refuse to heed to him (like Scylla and Tiamat, then later Skar King). Every since 2014, the threat to the balance of nature keeps increasing, so he's getting more and more pissed off. Now that Mothra's finally back after a decade, he should be more calm.

I actually liked this theme, it is not the classic Ifukube theme but it sounds very threatening, which reflects the unpredictable nature of the big G. I actually think this theme would work perfectly in a remake of Disney's "The Rescuers Down Under" as it occasionally sounds fit for a dark adventure film that is yet epic in scope.

[@Mrbeez_shin]

The only thing I like about his theme specifically the evolved version is how high pitched it sounds it conveys Godzilla's rage during the Egypt fight

in the last film, he was seen as a destroyer and villain of humanity, so I'm so glad they actually went back and realized he's actually the good guy.

[@RandomMackem3247]

He was only seen as a villain cause he was destroying human facilities that were later discovered to have a giant mechagodzilla and the other reason was he was going out of his way to fight someone who wasn’t even challenging for the title of king, he was more so just showing dominance

[@cristobaltaiba5031]

I have already seen some with the complaint that there could have been more time with Godzilla in this movie, and that Godzilla vs Kong was more balanced in prominence, and it is an understandable argument but I have no problem, Godzilla had very good scenes in Monarch Legacy of Monsters, here I think it had the best fights in the movie, its design is excellent, etc. could there be more? Yes, but for the length of the movie it wasn't bad, I think even the villains deserved more screen time than Godzilla here.

[@lsnorlax9653]

Good news Godzilla will take the “main protagonist” role like Kong in GxK. Ofc Kong also appears but way less

[@MaffleLeafPotato123]

Well. To be fair, Godzilla spent the entirety of the movie grinding xp.

Hopefully the next movie is a solo Godzilla film and Showa his traumatic past and upbringing and why he is the last of his kind and how he feels. Like is he sad being the only one or is he fine with it does, does he get flashbacks to a family. Was he involved with bagon. Was he involved in the muto war, kong war, titan war and ghidorah did something happen to his family and is Godzilla younge like a juvenile and that’s why he now acts irrationally and aggressive

Honestly both styles of music are great in their own ways. Bear had gotten kicked off the monsterverse for to much emotion and feeling he put into the themes of the kaijus‚ if was described as sounding as an epic funeral more than a giant monsters theme‚ though they were still great. The new futuristic theme sounds just as great because the movie takes place in 2029‚ it also has a bunch of fictional tech advancements‚ Giant mechs‚ robot fists‚ giant traveling (ships)??. You get the deal.
