00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most exciting, emotional and epic moments in Godzilla Kong The New Empire.
00:13Beware of kaiju-sized spoilers ahead.
00:24Number 10. Godzilla's Roman Holiday.
00:31When Scylla first appeared in the MonsterVerse, it wisely chose to bow down to the King of the Monsters.
00:37But after the arachnid-like kaiju re-emerged to wreak havoc in Rome, Godzilla decided to squash the overgrown spider.
00:45The King of the Monsters was easily able to toss Scylla like it weighed nothing at all.
00:50And instead of drawing the battle out, Godzilla unleashed its atomic breath to execute an explosive finisher.
01:03Although the bout was brief, it was still awesome to see how dominant the King truly was.
01:08Seeing Godzilla take a nap in the famous Colosseum afterwards was just icing on the cake of a great fight.
01:20Number 9. Kong teaches Suko how to play baseball.
01:24Shortly after arriving in a new area of the Hollow Earth, the Skull Island primate came across a relatively smaller ape.
01:31Unfortunately, the little Suko wasn't as innocent as he seemed.
01:38He and apes immediately attempted to kill Kong, but the Skull Island graduate used everything he could get his hands on to overcome the odds.
01:46In Kong's finest and funniest moment, he used Suko as a baseball bat and swung him at the evil apes.
01:58This savage move paved the way for the heroic ape to get serious payback against the kaijus who tried to jump him.
02:05Suko also learned that if you take a shot at Kong and miss, he will not hesitate to humble you.
02:17Number 8. Mothra returns.
02:25In 2019, the majestic Queen of the Monsters flew into battle to help Godzilla defeat Ghidorah.
02:31When the fight went sideways, Mothra sacrificed herself to give the King the boost he needed.
02:36Fans who had been eager to see the Queen return got their wish in New Empire.
02:40After Gia journeyed down into the Hollow Earth, she was able to fulfill a prophecy and reawaken Mothra.
02:47Yes! Yes! She's protected the portals!
02:53The Queen stunned everyone by brokering a treaty between Godzilla and Kong.
02:58To make matters more impressive, Mothra volunteered to fight evil monsters and saved all of the human heroes.
03:04While it took a while for the Queen to return to our screens, her comeback could not have come at a better time.
03:17Number 7. Suko saves Kong.
03:22It initially looked like the mischievous little ape would never get along with the heroic primate.
03:27After all, Suko tried to indirectly kill Kong several times.
03:32Despite that fact, the little monster kept getting second chances.
03:46Suko finally returned the favor after he saw his king ruthlessly kill a kind ape.
03:51When that twisted ruler sent multiple monsters to take out Kong,
03:55the little ape activated an old trap and killed most of the assassins.
04:03Suko's act of courage showed that he was willing to put his days of deception behind him.
04:08From this moment on, he would prove to be one of Kong's most valuable allies.
04:12Is that a mini Kong?
04:16How did they find this place?
04:18He must have sensed you.
04:19Number 6. Godzilla fights Tiamat underwater.
04:23Weaponizing her body of razor-sharp scales,
04:25Tiamat's arctic lair sits in the direct path of electromagnetically charged solar winds,
04:31making it the largest stockpile of energy on Earth.
04:34Monarch scientists were baffled when they saw the king of the monsters
04:38intentionally attack a nuclear facility to absorb its radiation.
04:42It turned out that Godzilla was just pumping itself up
04:45so it would be ready to take on the titan known as Tiamat.
04:48We're entering Tiamat's domain.
04:50Something is off.
04:52Tiamat's energy is distorting her radar.
04:55We don't have a visual on Godzilla.
04:57When the two finally met underwater, their clash did not disappoint.
05:01After using an atomic blast to knock on Tiamat's door,
05:05the two grappled like Olympic wrestlers.
05:07This particular fight took full advantage of the aquatic setting
05:10with great visuals and fluid movement.
05:12Godzilla's decisive victory here also allowed him to gain a massive power boost
05:17before the final fight began.
05:19Although it would have been cool to see more of Tiamat,
05:21the creature's spirit lived on in the king's new form.
05:27Warning. Detecting altered energy signature.
05:30Oh my God. It's changed.
05:33Number 5. Kong duels the Scar King.
05:38Even the hollow earth wasn't big enough to hold two alpha primates.
05:45So, when Kong stepped into Scar King's territory,
05:48the crooked royal attacked the hero on sight.
05:51Their duel was fast-paced and incredibly tense.
05:54And although we knew Scar King was a living nightmare,
05:57we had to admit that seeing him use a dead titan's spine
06:00as a whip-like weapon was pretty awesome.
06:04Despite the home-field advantage, Kong did pretty well against his foe.
06:08Unfortunately, Scar King cheated and ended the battle early
06:12by having Shimo give the hero an awful case of frostbite.
06:15The underhanded way their duel ended
06:18got us excited to see Kong get revenge during an inevitable rematch.
06:28Number 4. Gia chooses her family.
06:33While the human plotlines are not always
06:36the most interesting parts of the MonsterVerse movies,
06:39New Empire gave us an emotional story arc to follow.
06:42After a disaster devastated Skull Island,
06:45Gia became the last living member of the Iwi tribe on Earth's surface.
06:49She finally found people who shared her traditions and culture in the hollow earth.
06:53Gia's adoptive mother Aileen was fully prepared to help her family
06:57get back on their feet.
07:00Additionally, there were multiple hints that the young heroine
07:03would be taken in by the Iwi queen,
07:05but just when it seemed like the two would part,
07:08Gia declared that she would stay by Aileen's side.
07:30This emotional mother-daughter moment
07:33gave us one of the franchise's most heartwarming scenes.
07:36Number 3. The monsters defy gravity.
07:47Scar King wanted to bring an army of monsters to the surface.
07:51In order to slow the villains down,
07:54the Iwi people used an ancient technique to mess with gravity.
07:57Their actions led to the franchise's most unique battle yet.
08:00The bulky Godzilla got to gracefully float through the air
08:03while taking on enemies.
08:09At the same time, Mothra was able to web up foes
08:12like she was a variant of Spider-Man.
08:14Kong also took advantage of the weightless chaos
08:17by fending off Scar King and regaining his signature weapon.
08:20We're thrilled that the creative team defied gravity
08:23to give us a battle with highs, lows and everything in between.
08:35Number 2. A titanic clash of heroes.
08:46Kong and Godzilla agreed not to fight
08:48as long as they each stayed in their respective territories.
08:51But when the Great Ape needed extra muscle
08:53to confront the Scar King's army,
08:55he risked death and traveled to Cairo
08:57to ask his rival for help.
08:59Initially, Godzilla wasn't willing to hear Kong out.
09:02The King was ready to tear the Ape apart.
09:04After Kong threw a little pocket sand,
09:06the two got into an all-out brawl.
09:09Their exciting clash included Godzilla
09:11showing off his wrestling moves,
09:13mechanically enhanced punches
09:15and the Ape literally dragging his foe.
09:17Watching them fight was tons of fun.
09:19However, we were willing to see them forgive and forget
09:22so they could give us one of cinema's most epic team-ups.

09:46Number 1. The final brawl in Brazil.
09:48Thanks to a special crystal,
09:50Scar King was able to force Shimo to travel to Brazil
09:53and try to kickstart an ice age.
09:55The threat inspired Godzilla and Kong
09:57to combine forces and fight the duo.
10:05During this mighty monster melee,
10:07the Great Ape was able to keep Scar King busy
10:09with his superb fighting skills,
10:11not to be outdone.
10:13Godzilla demonstrated his own strength
10:15and broke Scar King's legendary whip.
10:19Even Suko got a moment to shine
10:21by destroying the crystal that controlled Shimo.
10:23Overall, the final battle was packed with satisfying moments
10:27and was topped off by an epic team finishing move.
10:30The marvelous brawl also deserved props
10:32for unseating the big bad
10:34so that Kong could become a king once more.
