How to Introduce a Villain - GxK The New Empire 

"Godzilla minus ones is just so beautiful" *shows clip of innocent people getting vaporized 🥰🥰

If you really think about it, he's the first actually evil villain. The rest were just being animalistic. The Muto's were only breeding to keep their species alive. The Skullcrawlers were only hunting because they're hypercarnivores, Gidorah was only fighting to become the alpha of the titans, and Mechagodzilla probably had the same goal as Gidorah.

What got me gasping was when we saw the three decapitated ape heads on the sticks. That was disturbing and definitely added to the menacing factor of Scar King's introduction.

Skar King, I’m gonna say is probably the most vile villain in the Monsterverse, he has done something that Ghidorah wouldn’t even do. It’s a p sensitive topic but it’s based on the scene with him in the throne room receiving a message from one the apes about the portals and the Iwi’s plan. He throws his food to a wall and we pan, following the jettisoned food we pan over to a group of female apes holding their children who have orange fur, cowering and crying by his presence. Why are those females and orange furred babies in the throne room with him? I, think and this is just me but, I think, he might’ve forced himself upon these apes and they’ve been stuck in his throne room since. Suko is most likely a son of his since he has orange fur as well, that’s p obvious. Now, I know it’s unconfirmed and yes, uncomfortable, I’m very sorry but that’s just my assumption of that scene and why he’s like EVIL evil.

Skar King really surprised me with how good of a villain he was. He’s literally more evil than Ghidorah, like Ghidorah wanted to just use the other titans to destroy the world, and that’s pretty much it. Skar King however enslaves other monsters, leaving the other apes malnourished, and abuses Shimo into doing his bidding. His intro was awesome since it established all of this in one scene with NO DIALOGUE. So well done

THIS!!! This scene right here is how you do monsters with personality! Skar King, to me, is reminiscent of the Showa Gigan. Dude is not a threat in the slightest, but he sure as hell acts like one. He props himself up thinking he's king sh*t, but he has to rely on someone else to do all of the heavy lifting. And as soon as that someone else is disposed of, he breaks. I love it. He's my second favorite villain of the Monsterverse behind Ghidorah.

I feel like if legendary just committed to primal TV show style of movie with no humans focused purely on the monsters, with the story conveyed through their expressions, actions and personalities it would be great. They already have shown themselves to be masters at giving kaiju emotion and expression, so I feel a movie like that would be a masterpiece

I love how the Monsterverse has given these classic kaiju so much more personality than they used to 😊

Fearless... Brutal... Unforgiving... Powerful... Yeah, that's Godzilla alright.

I enjoyed Skar King a lot more than I thought I would. He was the only Monsterverse villain so far that I actively wanted to see bodied by Kong and Godzilla, whereas in most Monsterverse movies I tend to lean on the sides of the villains. Overall, I personally prefer the pure presence and twisted majesty of Ghidorah, however I can definitely see the appeal of Skar King as a villain.

Skar king was hitten the toughest poses too

It's funny cause he agreed to Suko's caretaker to not hurt him. But as soon as this mf looked at Kong, he knew he wanted to rile him up, so decided to hurt the caretaker instead. He's such a jerk and I love Skar King He's just laughing and smiling and I love him

skar king was such a cool villain and is so misunderstood, his power comes from his cunning and intelligence plus looked super cool, severely underrated

He is way more threatening than the Cameleon from Kung Fu Panda 4 and King Magnifico from Wish. Both villains are literally just a joke.

Scar king being a fraud king is what makes him my favorite Monsterverse villain yet, I still love Ghidorah, and consider him a way bigger threat, but there was so much I loved about Scar king. Just like I mentioned, he was a false king, ruling by fear. If it weren't for Shimo, he would have gotten his ass beaten by Kong, his whole aspect of a fraud villain, who rules others by fear with a stolen power to back him up is unique for the Monsterverse, and I love it He was ruthless af, he was a bastard through and through, and the way he was introduced was menacing and gave me quite a chill, and I love how his treatment of poor Shimo sealed his fate, he asked for it. Also, his personality is just amazing, genuinely taking great joy of torturing the apes and Shimo, laughing at Kongs new tooth, and then getting the same treatment was just a chefs kiss All in all, I really enjoyed him as a Monsterverse kaiju villain, he is not perfect by any means, but he is good enough for me. Shame he got the one off movie treatment, because I don't think someone could come back after getting shattered into pieces, all though a prequel movie of a titan war would be a great way to bring him back, maybe by making him a far more youthful, agile, able to actually fight with Goji.

Honestly I really like Skar king's menacing grin. His grin kind of reminds me of koba from planet of the apes

For me aside from the entertaining bonkers of fight scenes, Kong's story and Scar King certainly carried it! Especially how the apes converse, there's no subtitles but you can get the idea about it from their gestures and expressions, amazingly done.

The best part about skar kings intro is they established all of that with no dialogue

I am so happy a new empire wasnt bad, i was very worried everything would just seem bad after minus one but then i saw suko be used as a bat and godzilla do the funny 0g kick and i was pleased

Seriously he was amazing. He uses a WHIP and has SLAVES! like bro is there gonna be any monsterverse villain to be a cruel manipulative leader who enslaves his own species for supplies?! I dont know but he's definitely gonna stay up there no matter what as one of the top MV villains.

Suko is actually Skar Kings' son, which is validated in the scene where his worker returns to tell of the temple area Kong returned to. Skar king throws his food against the wall where many female apes are shown in the background holding babies that are the same color as "mini kong".

Scar King felt like a 90’s Disney villain and I’m all here for it

One thing that really intrigues me about the Skar King is how old he is, and yet he acts like he is still in his prime. Which for a titan to be that old, but still have such high agility is astonishing, and I just like how he has personality like Kong but you can clearly tell he is the polar opposite

I was pleasantly surprised by The Skar King in the movie. I remember when the teaser trailer dropped I was sure he was about to be a steamy glass of dumpster juice, but now I think he might actually be my favorite MV villain to date. He's a sick, twisted, vile, cold-hearted mf and not a single word had to be spoken to get that point across. He is legitimately creepy, which is something I can't say about any of the other MV villains. His eyes are freaky, his postures and mannerisms are seriously unsettling at times, and that crooked, disgusting smile is borderline nightmare fuel. He actually comes off like someone who has lost their shit and gone insane.

Something noteworthy is that they managed to convey all of this withouth dialogue, theres not even any humans to spout out exposition to let us know whats happening, you just get all the information you need by their actions and body language, its so good to the point that it made me question if humans are even necessary in these films, since the monsters can carry all the emotional weight of the film on their own.

From the look on Skar King's face after Kong challenges him, we see that he truly loves to fight.

“King of the monsters is peak!” Finally someone says it!

Scar King is RUTHLESS, he is a TYRANT, DESPICTABLE, an ENSLAVER, UNDISPUTED, THE CONQUER. He is a menace, especially when I thought Suko is Scar King's son, but instead he is just another breed to one of Scar King's slaves. The more they focus on Scar King, the more we see how he needs to be stopped and killed. Hopefully we do get to see more of him in the future, if possible because of spin offs or more lore in comics, but he is one thing and manage to accomplish something. He is a VIllian. edit: also he is considered very old for how long it goes back to being banish, who knows what he was like in his prime. He captured Shimo...

I think what really established him for me was just the order of events. Kong shows up and we see pure horror in his face as he watches the apes be mistreated. He helps up one, lets the guard shout at him, punches him out and basically says to them “get me your leader.” And the Scar Kings first thing upon inspecting Kong, is notice the tooth he had replaced. It’s tougher and likely more useful than a normal tooth, something that could be used against him. And what does the Scar king do? He laughs. He laughs in the face of the one monster to stand a fighting chance against Godzilla. He doesn’t care about challengers because he doesn’t see anyone as a challenge in the first place.

Goji Center and other monster verse channels : trying their hardest to make the most complicated theory to how the old heisei era monsters might come back in the next movie such as destroyah, Bagan, biollante and hedorah Legendary in the next Godzilla movie : “hey so uhhh I found this orangutan in the trash can…”

SPOILERS In the scene where one of skars henchmen comes to his throne room to tell him were the source of the portals are. He throws a piece of food near the wall were "i can kinda assume" are all his mates holding his childeren they all have orange fur to put it simply he has sex slaves....

I’ll Be Honest. Scar King Is So Far The Best Villain Of The 2020’s.

Skar King literally forgot how to get to the surface and did nothing until Kong found him...

I'm pretty sure Sukko is Scar Kings child and the Ape that SK kicked into lava was like his handler or his nanny. The movie doesn't need to do into depth but baised on hiw Sukko acts so scared around SK and the fact SK uses a whip...yea you can imagine the kind of dad he is...

I give GxK a 7/10. Not gonna lie really would’ve liked to see a bit more from scar king. He was all hyped up to be complete badass and he definitely had his moments but I think they shoulda gave him more fight scenes. Would’ve liked to see him kill another titan and fight Godzilla. Thought the final battle should’ve been a lot longer as well.

1:06 “Godzilla is mid” Now, hold on 🤨

Skar king was such a piece of shit i wanted him to survive for just a few more movies 😭

Skar king seemed so weak , like they introduced him good but he never felt threatening

Fact: skar king is the first original monster villain since the m.u.t.os in Godzilla 2014

for me skar king was missing that threat factor ghidorah had with godzilla in the movie

Skar King's entrance and heel promo. Priceless

Skar king had so much personality, the way he stands leaning back was so fire

I totally agree with you, Skar King is the best MV villain for me and my new favorite titan with Godzilla. I extremely like when a movie has an amazing villain and that is the definition of Skar King. He is so menacing and cold, gosh when he walks it looks like he is possessed, i freaking love that!

Suko is Skars kid also, he released Shimo cause Kong was about to get the upper hand. Kong slammed him onto the ground and then he released Shimo lol but, he is sick. I liked that he was twisted and actually had stones to go fight Kong lmao

“Godzilla King of the Monsters is peak Monsterverse” That sentence made me extremely happy. It’s my favorite movie of all time, and I will continue to defend it from my grave.

I mean, he’s King Louie after all.

Skar King’s introduction scene was my absolute favourite part of the movie. That whole sequence was genuinely amazing. Making a character as scary as that with no dialogue is very impressive. It sucks he never really had that same effect afterwards but at least that scene was done VERY well

Shimo is my favorite Ghostbusters character.

3:38 I don’t think that giant ape was Suko’s (Mini Kong) father Later in the movie, an ape tells Skar King about the portals to the Earth surface it found, and inside Skar King’s lair there are a bunch of female apes taking care of their young These baby apes have an orange fur, just as Skar King’s And if you pay attention, throught the movie there’s no sign of any juvenile giant apes besides the ones on Skar King’s lair and Suko I think it’s safe to assume that Skar King took advantage of his power and became the dominant male, who has the “right” to procreate with all the females in the pack

Good to see this movie getting praised

Scar King touching Kong's face to see his fake tooth, and then pointing and laughing in his face was raw as hell. 0 fear in that monke

SPOILER WARNING! They should have saved Skar King and Tiamat for future movies. (Leave them alive in this film.) Skar King is my favourite Monsterverse villain. Him and King Kong are a great match. I wish future movies would explore the origins of that 'Mega Godzilla skeleton' in GVK (the scene where Kong grabs his newly acquired axe) and that COLLOSSAL skeleton-like bridge. Perhaps they all were at war. (That serpent-like creature would make that mega Godzilla look like a toy. I am wondering if maybe like 2 dozen or so of mega Godzillas needed to fight him/her at once.) Just a theory. I haven't heard any mentions of them in the novels so far. (Don't know about the newer novelization.) P.S have my subscription!

i dropped my jaw, rocket in my chair, screamed, i just freaked out man. this whole movie had me completely shocked. i absolutely love it. skar king is probably my new favorite character in the zilla movies. hes just so cool

The reason I love Godzilla 2014 is because it’s serious and almost horror like. They should bring that team back in the (hopefully) next monster verse movie

Skar was kinda a nothing-burger for me tbh what really captivated was the main monsters dynamics (mainly seeing Kong's progress and Godzilla's power-ups)

Not sure if you noticed this, but to add to Skar King's ruthlessness, That wasnt Suko's dad. That was his mom. Skar king impregnated and sexually harassed the apes of his OWN tribe, you can see more than just Suko with the colour pattern that only Skar king has.

its strange to me how many people even talk about the human side of these movies I've recently been through almost every godzilla movie and there are really only a couple of exceptions to this rule the originals, Shin and Minus one seem to be the only movies with passible human characters and stories, note all these movies share 1 thing in common; Godzilla is the villain, not the hero and he's also the only Monster in those movies, it is them vs him. the vast majority of Godzilla movies are him fighting another monster and its all about the cheese and the fights, honestly they've tried so many different things with the humans and they're almost never interesting, you can see as the movies go on its a case of; How big and bad can we make the monsters and the fights or how many monsters can we possibly fit into this movie. An interesting example I would use is Final Wars, now Final Wars is a case of how many monsters can we fit in one movie, but they also tried something very very different with the humans, they really tried to make them more interesting, the humans in that movie gave me power rangers vibes but they're still easily the weakest part of the movie, I've come to the realization that if the focus of the movie is monsters fighting then it seems almost impossible to take any of the real attention away from that, its all people want to see and it's simply a spotlight the humans will never take unless its just humans vs godzilla. I've grown to think that honestly if you're shitting on these movies for the human stories then you're kinda missing the point, I've been very excited to see this movie and even after rewatching the others I could not care less about the human characters, I want to see big monsters fighting, and i'm pretty sure all fans of the genre are the same. I think the genre is quite self aware in this respect, like I say they've tried many different things with the humans, but as time goes on it just becomes less and less about the humans, no one is overly invested in the universe they've set up, we just want to see the action and even the American stuff is self aware in this respect I think, every movie that comes out in this universe is more and more focused on the monsters, not the people, and for good reason, it is not what people care about, and its not what they're going to spend the most time, effort and money on, it is what it is. It seems most people that are shitting on this movie are of the same mind, its always shitting on the humans, and I understand that Minus One did the humans very well, and thats what people are using as a comparison, which makes sense, but you've got to understand the differences and why that is the case, in short, if Godzilla is the villain the humans should be important, if he's not you've got very small chance of getting anything memorable out of the humans at all, the quicker you realize this and let that settle in the sooner you can sit back, relax and just enjoy the movies for what they are, giant monster porn.

I feel as if a Brute Force introduction to Skar King was the best introduction skar king could have gotten In the context of the character. Because that’s how they fight. Brute force. They don’t take strategy into their battle or anything. But if they did, maybe a mysterious introduction would have been better. But that’s just my take

MUTOS: overpopulate their species in whole world for their survival, which broke the law of nature. Ghidorah: Destroying most the planets, replacing the humanity, reshape the planet into more preferable for him. Mechagodzilla: Wipe out the titans, and replace godzilla, but ended up being took over by the alien devil. Skar king: Does tons of evil and disgusting thing to his people like r@ping and abuse. doesn't give a shit about his kingdom, controls shimo, forced to do his jobs, also wants to dominate the surface of the earth.

0:51 now this my brother is the most dead a** s**** anyone has said on RU-vid I’m tired of Alex saying stuff is mid its just so annoying

Skar King, i was immediately sold on his swag! the way he carries himself is something else, then you see how agile he is too! Gold

They've been cooking since the first godzilla, godzilla really is a goat of a character that every movie is🔥

Comparing Scar King & Ghidorah is like comparing Joker to Darkseid. One is a dark, twisted, and very emotional villain, with his villainous deeds cleary being the result of an unhinged mind. While Ghidorah & Darkseid are much more grand in scale. They are cosmic villains. While yes, they do have emotions, wants, & needs, they are pretty much evil incarnate. A monstrous being of pure chaos & sadism, who wants nothing more than to watch the Galaxy burn under their feet. Scar King’s goal is to control, to become a ruler. Ghidorah’s goal is do become a god. He wants the Titans to worship him, just so he can see their betrayed faces when he kills them. Scar King is a supervillain (in a good way), while King Ghidorah is the devil

Small correction, skar king is sukos father, the ape that he kicked into lava was sukos mother

@ 1:05 Godzilla 2014 - Mid? Okay I'll give you that one. It's really good not great. I can understand some calling it mid. Kong: Skull Island - good? Nah! That one is peak Monsterverse Cinema. Kong's story is magnificent. Godzilla: KoM - Peak? I agree, but not as good as Kong. GvK - You despise it? Bruh why? The movie is about Godzilla v Kong and we got 3 rounds of them fighting. Short, quick to the point, never a dull moment in the film, and beautiful visuals and CGI. GxK A New Empire - Once again did NOT disappoint. I don;t go into these films expecting a deep thought-provoking story, I want to see Monsters fight. Kaijus, Titans! You're clearly expecting something different from these movies and that's on you.

Scar Kings intro was my favorite part of the movie. I wish he was more of a threat. I didn’t really like how he was getting thrown around like a rag doll in the Brazil 🇧🇷 fight scene

Do not let this guy make another video 🔥🔥🔥

How weird, I saw a video yesterday talking about the movie and how disappointing Skar King was for him, not even mentioning this excellent introduction. You know, I get it, Skar King doesn't really have much screen time, and he certainly is just "raw" evil. But it works for me, because I believe that it's supposed to show what a weaker version of Kong would look like. Allow me to explain what I mean: -His "build up" let's say, is brilliant because as the audience we are told and shown that something big and terrifying is hiding in Hollow Earth, even being foreshadowed (I think) with that frog-like creature mimicking his roar, confusing Kong. - Then we see Kong facing a group of very beaten apes, showing signs that from where they're from, things are difficult. - Then we have Suko being scared and confused by Kong, whose first move was try to reach to him instead of attacking him. And when Kong finally convinces him that he's not a menace, is Suko the one trying to warn Kong that they're heading to a deadly, isolated place. - Kong enters to Skar King's domain, and all he sees is suffering, aggression and fear. When he helps out an ape who had almost fainted out of exhaustance, everyone is amazed by such action, except THAT only ape who got a quick reward after yelling at Kong. - Finally we have his proper intro, in which we see him sitting in his throne, eyes blankly staring straight to his intruder, and well, he proceeds to mock him because of his new fang, then disposing one of his own just because he felt like it, and then proceeds to fight with Kong making use of his devastating whiplash. I really enjoyed all of this because it shows that he's the antithesis of Kong. He's just evil and cruel, he doesn't care for anyone else but himself, he only wants to bring chaos to the world because he simply enjoys that. I will say though, the first time I saw him I was like "Kong could smash him pretty easily, no doubt of that" but that's another thing that surprised me: Skar King is aware of that, extremely aware I would say. He uses moves that are more acrobatic, uses his surroundings to attack, helps himself with his whiplash and, of course, he has a secret powerful card: Shimo. And the best of all is that he acknowledges all of this, he knows by exchanging punches with Kong that he's no match for him, and then releases Shimo. Obviously when Kong gets his new super glove he proceeds to overpower him much easily, even if Skar King has his whiplash or not, and when Godzilla crushes his weapon, he literally races to the crystal that controls Shimo in a desperate attempt to regain his power, because if not he knows he's done for, it's game over for him. Something that eventually happens. So yes, he may not be the best villain ever written, but he doesn't really need to. If later on we get a comic or something explaining his roots or some of his backstory, it would be amazing though, because a lot of fans really want to know more about him.

GxK and Minus One being compared in any way is ridiculous. They're two different worlds doing two different ideas. Both originate from Toho. I love Godzilla Minus One and the Monsterverse. Any fan of either or both should know damn well comparison between the two makes ZERO sense.

As a fan who loves all of the movies including the human storylines, this movie has the best characters in the monsterverse and I thought their story was interesting

skar kings cruelty is exactly how I want Destoroyah to be like in the monsterverse And I think the best part of Skar King is that he isn’t shown a origin story of how he became evil, like Ghidorah came from another planet and the Mutos and Skullcrawlers were basically predators and Mechagodzilla was a machine to wipe out every Titan while Skar King isn’t shown any origin how he became evil I swear if you combine Ghidorah and Skar King together you can literally get Destoroyah (destructive and as powerful as Ghidorah but as evil as Skar King)

this movie is proof that if hollywood just atleast wrote somewhat ineresting characters and not make them corny cheesy forced one liners people, they can have a nearly perfect movie, Godzilla is written well, they did REALLY good with kong but ofc everytime theyre not on screen is just annoying

After his introduction, he was kind of a generic villain afterwards. He wasn’t that big of a threat as he was only a threat to kong for 1 day. And he relied to much in Shimo. I wish they made him imprison kong and tortured him to really show how evil he is and to explore more into his tyranny

GxK: action movie 0-1: horror movie

1:33 bro reached the **PEAK** of overthinking

the alex shade was wild

I would like to point out that in Ghostbusters (not the topic of the video, I know, but there was that tangent towards the end) yeah the Ice ghost isn’t present for most of the film, but then neither is Gozer in the original. It’s mainly just cutaways to Dana being possessed and that’s about it save for a five minute sequence and Stay-Puft

This video is good ❤

I thought the movie was so-so, but I really liked Skar King. They gave him so much personality through things like facial expression, body language and how he moves. He has this arrogant swagger to him.

Skar King was an impressive character, just his mannerisms alone made my skin crawl. I will say that I think he is the father of all of the young apes, they all look like him. There is one scene where he throws something at the rock nearly hitting mothers and their babies, they looked like him too.

I like scar king but i wanted to see more of him. Like they didnt show enough to where it made him looked threatening. They made him controlling shimo the main source of his power…i thought they were gonna make him use intelligence, tools, and weapons to outsmart kong and godzilla. Like the way he fights with all the flips n shit was awesome. Just kinda wished they did more with that. But all n all i still loved his design and still think he was a very cool

pretty sure skar king is sukos father

Ngl Skar king was a menace not only did he abuse Shimo and Suko but he had multiple wives with multiple children and when kong showed up he laughed in his face he definitely had the most personality as a villian in the monster verse

Despise is kinda harsh. And both movies focus more on kaiju emotion as they are able to use Kong as a proper character and I love that. I felt more for Kong than humans of 90% of movies. He's just used so well.

Oh yeah like the Skar king with that spine wipe around him, he reminds me of a African Warlord and seeing his fur is red if it was green he could be the Joker to Kong’s Batman and speaking of I thought that you do a video on Kong vs Godzilla and BVS maybe Captain America Civil War, but also that Skar King is pure evil that I think the baby ape that helped Kong is his son (since he has ginger hair) that he doesn’t care about him and that is why people like Jack Horner from Puss in Boots and the High Evolutionary from Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Shemo reminds me of Dr Wu’s creations from Jurassic World trilogy

0:48 🫣🫣🫣 crazy bro that made jiggle

His entrance was epic, u felt his power and dominance but wasted potential 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ bro got dropped once by Kong and gave up

What did you think of GxK The New Empire

3:38 small correction, that was not Suko's father. Just the caretaker. Suko is actually Skar King's son, he owns several sex slaves which are even shown in the movie. They're seen holding babies in his throne room. Source: GxK and the official movie novelization.

He was mossed the entire movie

I thought skar king is the father and the monkey he kicked was the mother or soemthing but idk 3:35

To me the best thing Godzilla 2014 did was truely encapsulating the feel of what Godzilla is supposed to be. It really feel like Humanity can do absolutely nothing against the Godzilla and the MUTOs and that we can only minimize the damage done. Some of the scenes are nearly apocalyptic in their feel, the dive into San Francisco for instance. And I think that is exactly what the film makers were trying to protray. I feel like a lot of that feel was taken away with king of the monsters when the military used the Oxygen Destroyer as it became clear that Humanity at anytime could actually just kill Godzilla with the use of just a few Oxygen Destroyers.

This was a really fun movie

He's low key a good villain

Bro scar king is a fraud bro talked all that just be tossed around 😂

0:12 yay!😎 0:13 😭

Skar is evil and I love his character for that

I’m pretty sure that was sukos mom. Not his dad

With what you were talking about with the human story, I thought it was pretty good, the first decent human plot in one of the main movies. Also, Trapper is the best human character in the movie.

Can't believe you missed the most notable part of the Scar King's actual intro. We all know about the once cool super hero introduction that's now just plain over played. Hero enters the arena from a 50 foot jump, lands with one knee planted, head down, then looks into camera. Audience goes ' woooo'. Boring nowadays so much so that it's even been noted in certain super hero movies (Black Widow springs to mind). No I mean SK's ACTUAL entrance. It's one of the best, if not THE BEST villain entrances i've evrer seen. It's just the way he slowly walks out of his cave then bounds forward and stands up , arms swinging. But the stance is human like in nature like he's saying 'Yeah What... What' with a serious atitude. I can't even begin to do it justice in words. He took an hour to show up and I went from having a pretty remote interest in the film to an 'Am I the only one that just saw that, I'm fully invested in this film from now on' interest. And he doesn't disappoint.
