The End Of Godzilla Vs. Kong Explained

What does the showdown between the two titans mean for the future of the MonsterVerse? Everything gets wrapped up pretty tidily by the end, but there are still some lingering questions by the time the credits roll. Let's dive into the ending of Godzilla vs. Kong to find out.

For months, people have been debating online about who would emerge victorious. Would Godzilla lay down the hurt with his atomic breath? Would King Kong offer the upset of the century with a surprise blowout? There are essentially three different "rounds" throughout the movie between the two, but in the end, Godzilla proves he's the toughest around by knocking Kong out. While Kong's able to get a few good hits in and is able to use his shiny, new axe to powerful effect, Godzilla starts clawing at Kong's chest, pinning him to the ground where the two growl at each other before Godzilla ultimately walks away.

We obviously don't know what the two titans are saying to one another, but our best guess is that Godzilla was trying to exert dominance. You could almost view it as Godzilla yelling, "Submit!" And eventually, Kong acquiesces. It turns out to be a fortuitous decision on Godzilla's part, as Kong lends a necessary assist when Mechagodzilla comes into the picture.

The moment in which Godzilla becomes the clear winner is an emotional one, and it's a significant beat that wasn't lost on director Adam Wingard. In an interview with SlashFilm, Wingard said

"It's a very long moment in the film because they roar for a while. Every time I watch it, I'm like, 'This is what it's all about. All the work, the three years that I put into this thing. All the heartache and the worry, it's all worth it for this one moment right here, because this is what everybody's paying to see.' It's so cool."

We've known for a while the movie wouldn't sidestep the central premise by having a draw or anything. There was always going to be a definitive winner between Godzilla and Kong, and to see it play out was a moment truly worthy of the big screen.
