[Potential Spoilers] Not the “Real Godzilla”? Video Explore GODZILLA VS KONG Fan Theory That’s Gaining Traction
In the trailer for Godzilla vs Kong, characters are struggling to understand why Godzilla, normally classified as a “Protector Titan” is wreaking havoc worldwide, destroying cities and bases (as slapping the hell out of Kong!). Well, there’s a new fan theory gaining traction that hypothesizes the Godzilla we’ve seen in the trailer isn’t the “real Godzilla”.

Synopsis:
Legends collide in Godzilla vs. Kong as these mythic adversaries meet in a spectacular battle for the ages, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Kong and his protectors undertake a perilous journey to find his true home, and with them is Jia, a young orphaned girl with whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond. But they unexpectedly find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a swath of destruction across the globe. The epic clash between the two titans—instigated by unseen forces—is only the beginning of the mystery that lies deep within the core of the Earth.
So if the Godzilla we’re seeing in the trailer isn’t the “real Godzilla”, who (or what) is this imposter?
