The first trailer for Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire dropped, and with it came a new threat: Skar King. This ape Titan is no ordinary foe, and he's set to make things tough for Godzilla and Kong, forcing them to team up to take him down.
Skar King is a big deal. He's a fearsome, powerful ape who rules the Subterranean Realm of Hollow Earth. He's not just strong, he's ruthless and manipulative, controlling other Great Apes through intimidation and violence. He's like a bully on steroids, and he's got a serious anger problem.
Unlike Kong, who is more gorilla-like, Skar King has the long, slender arms and red fur of an orangutan. This gives him better agility, but Kong still has the strength advantage. Skar King's Whipslash weapon is a scary extension of his arms, adding even more power and menace to his attacks.
Skar King is huge. According to official merchandise, he stands a whopping 318 feet tall! That's 19 feet shorter than Kong and a good deal shorter than Godzilla, who's 394 feet tall. Even though he's a little smaller than Godzilla and Kong, he's still a terrifying sight to behold.
While Skar King can fight, he prefers to let others do the dirty work. He's a master manipulator, controlling others through fear and intimidation. He's not afraid to use violence, but his true weapon is his control over others.
Skar King has a scary ability to control other Titans, like Shimo, through pain. This makes him extremely dangerous, because he can unleash the power of a Titan without even lifting a finger. But without his minions, Skar King is much less of a threat. He's still tough, but not as overwhelming.
Skar King's ultimate goal is to rule the world. He's a power-hungry tyrant who wants to dominate all life on Earth. His motivation isn't a grand plan to reshape the world, it's simply a desire for absolute power. He wants to be the alpha of all alphas, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that.
Skar King's lust for power led to a conflict with the Titans, who protected nature, and the Great Apes, who protected humanity. This led to his banishment to the Hollow Earth by Godzilla, where he's been plotting his revenge ever since.
Skar King finally gets to unleash his plans in Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire. He and Shimo emerge from the Hollow Earth and wreak havoc in Rio de Janeiro. Godzilla and Kong join the fight, and after a wild battle, Kong manages to free Shimo from Skar King's control. Enraged, Shimo unleashes a powerful ice blast, freezing Skar King. Kong finishes the job by smashing Skar King's frozen body to the ground.
Skar King's demise is a satisfying end for this terrifying villain. He's a dangerous and manipulative force who needed to be stopped. And with his threat eliminated, Godzilla and Kong can finally focus on protecting the world from other, more dangerous threats.
