One of the most interesting parts of the movie and audiences agree, is when King Kong finds Baby Kong. The fact before this is Kong had always been the only of his kind. This was a very popular moment for fans alike.

This moment between King Kong and Baby Kong was far from the ideal introduction between the two, sparking curiosity and speculation among fans as to why Baby Kong chose to bite King Kong during their meet-cute. The unexpected interaction between the majestic King Kong and the playful Baby Kong left audiences intrigued and eager for answers, as they pondered the significance behind this seemingly puzzling behavior.
I’m just now realizing that he probably bit Kong because he probably thought he was one of Skar King’s henchmen. pic.twitter.com/7WoOpCmSeZ

Fans of monster movies have always held a special affinity for brutal, villainous creatures that bring an element of chaos and danger to the screen. Therefore, the introduction of Scar King in the film was a monumental addition that elevated the entire viewing experience to new heights. Scar King’s menacing presence and ruthless demeanor instantly captured the attention and imagination of fans.

Some fans didn’t think the addition of Scar King was enough to warrant the film but other fans put this comment to shame, let’s see what they said.
Some are saying Skar King wasn’t a good enough villain, but I wholeheartedly disagree. He was OOZING with personality, was fast as hell, and has a great design. The only issue is we don’t get enough of him.
I hope he becomes Kong’s Ghidora in future reboots. pic.twitter.com/smV1e3QmDk

A large speculation on the internet was that if Scar King had more screen time, there’s potential for innovating the idea of what a Titan looks like, his presence and style was fresh and dangerous.
Skar King deserves all of the love and hype, 4X the screen time, and a set of Kong Vs Skar King crossover comics and films to come for decades. He truly was the best villain they cooked up for one of these things. Ya know, Ghidorah aside. pic.twitter.com/moY5m2nivG

With destruction comes humor, at least in the eyes of some fans that couldn’t help but joke, Godzilla and Kong destroying cities like they’re playing the most epic game of tag is what gives life to these movies and fans know it.
