* Godzilla using the Colosseum as a nest (and returning to it at the end of the film) has caused quite a few memes comparing him to cats and cardboard boxes. "If I fits I sits", "Big Angry Baby".

** The Card Cut/The Jaiden Cut [[note]] At the end of the day, two very influential fanartists and fanfic writers within the fandom, [=CardBroBot=] and [=CallMeJa1den=], claimed that they had managed to acquire a file of the entire movie and were watching it together, even posting an image of the download screen. [[FromBadToWorse The act of doing this after a day of leaks was compared to driving a flaming truck into an overflowing gas pump]]. The fandom proceeded to nearly burn to the ground until both clarified that it was a hoax and that the actual film had not been leaked.[[/note]]

* Ape not kill ape.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Many comparisons to ''Film/DawnOfThePlanetOfTheApes'' abound in the Kong-centric scenes, with Skar King killing Suko's caretaker being compared to Koba killing Ash, or Kong saving an ape soldier from falling only to push him off anyway when said soldier is an UngratefulBastard being compared to Koba's death.[[/labelnote]]

* Zeuszilla[[labelnote:Explanation]]On Twitter, one fan's video compared the Monsterverse lore to [[{{WesternAnimation/Hercules}} The Gospel Truth]] with Godzilla in the role of Zeus. This instantly led to drawing [[https://twitter.com/Plasmili0/status/1782112713596194995 Godzilla in the same style]] featured in the musical number which led to an avalanche of fanart of Godzilla as Zeus, in the Grecian art style, or a combination of the two. Some arts even depict the other monsters as the Greek Gods or the Titans themselves.[[/labelnote]]

** As the scene immediately preceding this shows Skar King [[WouldHurtAChild grabbing and attacking Suko]] Kong is viewed as a protective parent or big brother. Some compare it to the scene in ''Film/{{Aliens}}'', "Get away from him, you BITCH!"

* Shimo vs. The Harkness Test[[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans are divided about Shimo's supposed intelligence, as she is treated and portrayed almost like a BigFriendlyDog once Kong frees and befriends her. This gained traction due to Youtuber ''Alteori'' pointing out how it would be weird if people shipped Godzilla (an established intelligent Titan) with Shimo (a creature portrayed more like a dog), prompting discussions of the Harkness Test, a test on whether romancing a non-human creature would be bestiality or not depending on its intelligence and ability to communicate (For the record, to pass the test, a creature must be as smart or smarter then an adult human, able to fluently communicate with the human, and be of maturity for it's species).[[/labelnote]]

* [=M&M=] [[note]]Fanart shipping the version of Godzilla from ''Film/Godzilla2000''--nicknamed [=MireGoji=]--with the [=MonsterVerse=] Godzilla began making the rounds on Twitter in the wake of ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'' and had a resurgence of popularity in 2021 in the wake of ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'' and ''WebVideo/{{Godziban}}'' adding [=MireGoji=] as Godzilla-kun's mother "Mirei-san". When Godzilla's revamp for ''Film/GodzillaXKongTheNewEmpire'' was revealed, fans were quick to note it took design cues from [=MireGoji=] and got to work on a new wave of fanart.[[/note]]

Of note, this is also used in-universe by Monarch staff to refer to the Titan Mokele-Mbembe, which can cause some confusion if used in the wrong context.[[/note]]

** Kaio-Ken Godzilla [[note]]The new form of Godzilla was actually based on Goku's ability to gain brief power boosts, and the parallels are pretty obvious even without this being explicitly confirmed. The readout on Monarch's monitors even notes a 20x increase in energy output from Godzilla, the maximum output that Goku was ever able to control.[[/note]]

* Sopa de macaco, uma delicia.[[labelnote:Explanation(spoilers)]]The Skar King is killed after Shimo freezes him, allowing Kong to shatter him and pound his frozen remains to bits. It became a bit of a joke about the resulting disgusting mess when the ice thaws out, with references to the Brazilian meme of monkey soup being made due to both the battle's location in Rio and the assumed state of Skar King's mashed remains.[[/labelnote]]
