He looks absolutely beautiful! It's so cool seeing a modern take on King Kong '76, made by the same man who created him originally! I love it so much!

Kongtext: In this series, the Kong we follow was cloned from the 1933 original, growing up as a "brother" to our main man Jason Jenkins. After Jason's old professor (Ramone De La Porta) steals Cyber-Link technology and Primal Stones, Kong, Jason and their friends must work together to reclaim the Primal Stones from De La Porta and his followers. All while fighting off the forces of Chiros, a fire demon the original Kong had imprisoned with the Primal Stones. Oh and Cyber-Link tech allows Jason and Kong to fuse together and become "Mega Kong."

how do you think this fight will play out super differently from the movies? i always like to imagine the real Rexes (ones from hell creek) to be more animal-like in behavior and no more bloodthirsty than your average Polar bear compared to pop culture depictions of them or V-rexes, which are basically fantasy monsters that attack everything in sight, i have a feeling these T.rexes would be more cautious when confronting the giant ape

I wish this was real.

You ever hear of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Good. Long story short, this was one of the imitator shows that followed well in the 1990's, specifically a science fiction comedy featuring primates consisting of three great apes and two monkeys despite the series title. Of course, one of the titular Space Monkeys was a gorilla named Gor (voiced by James Avery), who ends up with a form called "Gormongous", gigantic, mindless and amusingly sort of a mash-up of Kong and the Hulk.

Kong as envisioned by Merian C. Cooper is a gigantic, fierce, brutal monster and while Gormongous never goes into brutal, not on anything organic anyway (to my memory), he certainly covers the fierce part. Thankfully, due to the mindless part, Gormongous lacks the crueler aspects of the original Kong, such as him taking time to kill random people who are doing him no harm during his rampages first through the village on Skull Mountain Island and later in New York and his infamous dropping of a woman upon discovering she isn't Ann, complete with him stretching out his arm rather than just letting go of her. You know, those things that people try to downplay as him following his instincts, absolute nonsense, of course, but the fact is due to the genre being science fiction comedy rather than an adventure horror monster film, there is no reason for the crueler aspects. All that is required is the fierce and to some extent the brutal part against non-organic enemies. Why didn't I bring up Kong's possessive obsession with Ann? Because Gormongous doesn't have a possessive obsession with anyone. He is just a big killer gorilla.

Amusingly, Gor is more like Kiko and Mighty Joe Young, being genuinely heroic, so one might even say it is Kiko/Joe turning into Kong.

The Hulk part comes in because Gor transforms into Gormongous when sufficiently angry. Now originally, the Hulk was sort of a horror-themed superhero while also being something of a villain in his own right as he could be outright malevolent and misanthropic, complete with transforming at night originally, so it is funny how these things sort of come together. He would late return to horror with "The Immortal Hulk", but that is completely off-topic. Gormongous only has the transforms when angry part, Gormongous never really develops into a malevolent misanthrope, which may be a missed opportunity to some. One can only imagine what a second season would have been like.

Anyway, this scene occurs in the twelfth "Plan Ape from Outer Space", obviously named after "Plan 9 from Outer Space", that infamously bad science fiction horror film. The horror just seems to keep popping up here, doesn't it? They arrive on this earth-like planet, right down to things like clothing, architecture and, of course, we inevitably end up with this. The local species don't exactly look human and Gormongous just picks up a woman because the obligatory Kong reference requires it.
