* FuturePrimitive: In the novelization, it's stated explicitly that they were the last survivors of the ancient Hollow Earth civilization which existed more than ten-thousand years ago. But after arriving on Skull Island they regressed to a largely tribal scavenging lifestyle.
%%* HeldGaze: Marlow and the Iwi during their final goodbye (Platonic).

%%* RedIsHeroic

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He lost is entire family -- his wife, son and parents -- and was himself left physically scarred when they were all caught in the female [=MUTO's=] rampage on G-Day Minus One. As a result, he's now an AxCrazy Titan hunter with a major chip on his shoulder regarding ''anything'' with Titan biology; endangering people by deliberately instigating Titan attacks as diversions, and building a HumongousMecha so that he can murder and stuff as many monsters he comes across as possible -- even if they're passive {{gentle giant}}s like the Sker Buffalo, or defenceless Titan ''[[WouldHurtAChild babies]]'' like the Spineprowler cubs.

** To Walter Simmons, Ren Serizawa and Apex Cybernetics in ''Film/GodzillaVsKong''. Like them, he's the head of a rich, shady organization who sees all Titans as a threat to humanity; seeking to best the Titans using a HumongousMecha that he created, directly attacking one of the Protector Alpha Titans, and endangering hundreds of innocents in pursuit of his agenda by collaterally instigating Titan rampages. However, Apex were a shiny, chrome, well-dressed, hi-tech evil ResearchInc who were largely cold and clinical in their desire to dominate the Titans, they had [[VisionaryVillain visionary ideals]] of [[TakeOverTheWorld ushering in a mega-corporate world hegemony with themselves at the top]], and they sought to [[VillainWithGoodPublicity maintain a decent public image]] and ultimately be worshipped by the world via EngineeredHeroics -- Raymond Martin on the other hand is a shabbily-dressed, self-styled hunter whose technology has a more rustic and patchwork aesthetic, he has a much more emotional and less long-sighted desire to personally kill as many monsters as possible for his own catharsis with no higher end-goal, and he doesn't care about public image beyond bribing anyone that might get in his way to turn the other cheek.
** He also starkly contrasts Colonel Lee Shaw in the preceding overall Franchise/MonsterVerse instalment, ''Series/MonarchLegacyOfMonsters''. Both men tragically lost the people they loved to a hostile Titan creature, which motivates their present day actions; both of them lead an illegal organization and believe they're protecting humanity against monster threats, and both tend to let their emotions cloud their judgment and actions in the long run. However, Shaw was an AntiVillain with a military background who recognized that some of the Titans like Godzilla are in fact humanity's allies, he had no personal hatred for the hostile Titans, and he simply wanted to cut the HollowEarth off from the surface so that the Titans couldn't encroach on humanity's world -- Martin, who instead has a background as a constructionn company executive, is an AxCrazy KnightTemplar who murderously despises all monsters, seeking to sate his bloodlust on personally slaughtering as many of them as he can, and he doesn't distinguish in the slightest between monsters which are actually a threat and ones which aren't. Shaw had staunch moral limits to how far he would go in the name of his plan, refusing to sacrifice lives, [[spoiler:and in the end he sided with the heroes]] -- Martin on the other hand has no line that he won't cross to sate his anti-monster bloodlust, which disgusts even his men when he starts slaughtering non-threatening creatures and targeting infant creatures on sight, he endangers hundreds of people by galvanizing Scylla and Godzilla, and he dies completely unrepentant for his crimes. Shaw had a personal chip on his shoulder towards Monarch, and formed a RenegadeSplinterFaction from them, whereas Martin has no connection to nor interest in Monarch beyond bribing them to look the other way while he rampages. Shaw had a very personal connection to the main human heroes in his work, whereas Martin has no connection to Bernie Hayes in his work and the two never even meet.

* KarmicDeath: He meets his end by the otherwise-defenceless Spineprowler cubs that he went out of his way to try and murder using the Titan Hunter, and after he killed their mother.
* KnightTemplar: He sees himself as a HunterOfMonsters who's completely in the right. In reality, he's a ''monstrously'' self-serving psycho who endangers hundreds of people, murders completely non-threatening creatures like the Sker Buffalo, and he hounds and attempts to murder a pair of defenceless cubs before attempting to murder the most philanthropic living Alpha Titan on the planet, proving in the end that humans sometimes [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters really are the true monsters]].
