* Mechagodzilla roaring like Ghidorah serves to highlight whose brain is in control...but one stops to wonder why Mechagodzilla is even designed to be able to make such vocal noises.
** Seeing as Mecha G was designed to not only kill, but ''replace'' Godzilla, the ability to vocalize was likely included in order to facilitate its control over the other Titans.
** Considering how Ghidorah's cockpit skull was producing psychic {{Ghostly Wail}}s all on its own (which is in fact what draws Madison's attention to the Skull Room in the first place), and seeing how Mechagodzilla has a piece of Ghidorah inside the actual Mecha as a receiver, it's not improbable that when we hear Mechagodzilla producing Ghidorah vocalizations, the Mecha is emitting them telepathically via its onboard Ghidorah receiver rather than physically vocalizing them.
* So how exactly does Kong interact with the little girl at such a scale? Ann Darrow being doll-sized to 2005 Kong makes their interaction plausible, but Kong is basically holding hands with an ''ant'' at one point...
** [[GentleGiant Very carefully.]]
* Kong was stated in the film set in the 1970s to be a "teenager" and "still growing". The thing is...he is 300 feet now, but only 100 feet in ''Kong: Skull Island'', which is barely waist-high and more the height of a ''toddler''.
** Which also brings up another issue: if an adult Kong is THAT big, how did the Skull Devil/Ramarak/The Big One manage to kill both Kong's parents if it was just barely bigger than 1973 Kong and far smaller than 2021 Kong?
*** #10 was almost as big to Mechagodzilla as Ramarak was to teen-Kong. Evidently, skullcrawlers can get MUCH larger than we first thought.
** Ramarak had other Skullcrawlers to ''assist'' him during that time. Kong's parents were basically the only giant apes left and Kong was literally born in the middle of the carnage. His parents deaths fueled the hatred within Kong, giving him the aggressive urge to actually kill any other Skullcrawler in his sights. Since Kong was still growing as an adolescent and grew more and more active. If there was no Skullcrawler that isn't Ramarak, it was easy pickings for him, and it would just leave him and Kong to duke it out even if Ramarak gave him a difficult fight. It's heavily implied that Skullcrawlers seem to go through the same StrongerWithAge thing just like what Kong went through.
** It's also implied Kong is abnormally huge for a Kong, as neither of his parents skeletons are nearly that big.
*** Actually it seems that this is true only in recent times since there's evidence that members of Kong's species have faced off against Godzilla's species in the distant past.
** Also, who says Kong isn't also affected by nuclear radiation?
*** That's assuming there's even nuclear radiation for Kong to feed off on in Skull Island. From what we know there isn't and that Kong just grew naturally. Considering how big he is compared to his parents and that cave paintings indicate that another Kong fought against a Godzilla before, Kong is very likely to be the first of his kind to actually reach full adulthood in years.
* What right does Kong have to call himself King of the Hollow Earth? He just showed up, found a throne, and declared himself king by implication. Isn't that the definition of Manifest Destiny? Sure members of his race once lived there, but saying that this gives him the right to call himself King of the Hollow World is kinda like saying that it gives any old Native American the right to call themselves the President of the USA.
** I think Kong was just too enamored to be within a place that was once called home to his race.
** It's clear that Kong becomes King of the Hollow Earth because he's an Alpha Titan same way Godzilla is. From what the movies have shown, Alpha Titans have a natural ability to subjugate other Titans like how Ghidorah managed to turn all of Earth's non-Alpha Titan monsters to his side with just one call. Godzilla shows this same feat later where, despite being tired after his fight with Ghidorah, he managed to get Rodan and the rest to submit to his rule with just a ''glare''. While Kong hasn't shown this exact ability himself, his strength as an Alpha Titan isn't really in question considering his battles against Godzilla. Unless another Alpha shows up within the Hollow Earth then there isn't going to be much challenge to Kong's hold on the title.
** Kong showed up in Hollow Earth and within minutes killed two Warbats, which considering their immense size are likely the apex predators of the region. If that doesn't give him the right to declare himself King, nothing does.

** It's explained in Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters that the government never like Titans hence why they funded various weapons against them, including the Oxygen Destroyer. As long as Apex supports that belief, the government is more than happy to provide the money.

** Also, to the best of APEX's knowledge, the only ''other'' titans that still had a breeding population in modern times were the MUTOs. Even if the pair from the first film weren't the last ones, those things can't breed without a Godzilla carcass to lay their eggs in. If Godzilla were dead to provide such a carcass for mega-lab-rat breeding purposes, APEx wouldn't need Mechagodzilla in the first place.

** If I remember correctly, it's stated that the titans are drawing on the Hollow Earth energy to maintain their impossibly biology, and they can obviously do that on the surface. So once they know the correct frequencies, APEX can tap the Hollow Earth energy radiating up to the surface, just as the titans do.

** Gareth Edwards said during the production of Godzilla2014 that Godzilla was the punishment we deserve. Maybe he's finally delivering that punishment.

**** Maybe he ''did'' fight him in the water before. Ghidorah must've gotten trapped in ice somehow, after all.
