(Don't worry, Madison, Bernie and Josh all manage to survive.)Įven Godzilla can't compete against Mechagodzilla after his titanic tussles with Kong and is on the verge of defeat. Mechagodzilla breaks out, killing Simmons in the process, and goes to battle with Godzilla.
Unsurprisingly, that goes as well as can be expected and shortly after Mechagodzilla is awoken, the system becomes unstable, killing Ren. One skull is in Mechagodzilla and one skull is in Apex's lab, making Mechagodzilla a "living supercomputer.
This link is achieved by using two skulls from King Ghidorah who Godzilla defeated in King of the Monsters. With Apex now in possession of the power source from the Hollow Earth, they manage to fully charge Mechagodzilla believing they can control their robot through a psionic link with the pilot, Ren Serizawa (Shun Oguri) – the son of late Monarch scientist Ishirō Serizawa. That's not the end of the titan battles, though. Godzilla vs Kong ending explained: Who is Mechagodzilla? Round Three – and the ultimate battle – goes to Godzilla. Without the axe charged up and a bit knackered from the previous bout, Godzilla overpowers Kong and pins Kong to the ground, but Godzilla relents before killing Kong. Godzilla is a hard bastard though and gets up for another round instantly. Turns out the axe can absorb Godzilla's atomic breath and Kong knocks Godzilla out. Kong heads to the surface with them and battles again with Godzilla, but this time Kong has the advantage of his supercharged axe. In the carnage that follows, Maya and the rest of the Apex team are killed (sorry, not sorry), but Lind, Andrews and her daughter make it safely to the surface. Godzilla is about to attack Apex in Hong Kong, but senses this power awakening and attacks the Hollow Earth from the Earth's surface with atomic breath. Kong recharges the axe with the power source, but Maya just uses this as an opportunity to steal a sample of the power and send it back to Apex in Hong Kong. Kong finds the ancestral throne room where Kong acquires a nifty axe made out of one of a former Godzilla's dorsal plates. Having airlifted Kong to Antarctica to avoid another Godzilla attack, Kong leads the way into the Hollow Earth and they discover an ecosystem similar to Skull Island. The Skullcrawlers are just bait for Apex to test out the Mechagodzilla they've built, which is controlled by a pilot (like the Jaegers in Pacific Rim, basically).Īpex need the power source from the Hollow Earth to make Mechagodzilla work, and Godzilla attacked Apex because of the threat it poses. Surprise, it turns out that Apex are up to no good and when they arrive in Hong Kong, the trio find themselves in a "sacrifice pit". The trio unwittingly find themselves going to Hong Kong with the eggs.
It's missing though and all they find are Skullcrawler eggs which are being sent to Hong Kong. Together with conspiracy theorist podcaster Bernie (Brian Tyree Henry) and her friend Josh (Julian Dennison), they infiltrate the destroyed Apex facility.ĭuring the attack, Bernie – who was working undercover – thought he saw something that looked like the ORCA, a device that controlled the titans in King of the Monsters. While all this is going on, Madison (Millie Bobby Brown) is convinced that something is making Godzilla attack.
Godzilla almost drowns Kong, but Kong is saved when the ships turn off their power, making Godzilla think they've surrendered. Godzilla senses old rival Kong (their ancestors fought in an old war, you see) is out in the world and attacks the convoy heading to Antarctica.
