The Age Lift example for Godzilla talked more about his size, and didn't provide the info of just how old he is.


** Godzilla was already gargantuan for quite some time before he got nuked in this continuity, which was the inciting incident for him becoming massive in the Toho continuity. Furthermore, the shape of his feet indicate that his species of dinosaur came from an earlier period of time than the Toho version.

** In the meantime, King Kong is conversely much, '''much''' younger than the other versions of the character, which are described as being prehistoric in nature. While his species of ape has been around for that long in this continuity, Kong himself is only a teenager in TheSeventies and is still growing.

* AdaptedOut: Toho has to give Legendary explicit approval to use specific {{Kaiju}} for the setting, meaning that the only monsters that are licensed out to the company are Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah. Presumably, this is the reason why Rodan is showing up before Anguirus. That being said, Toho are very supportive of the setting, and it's likely that the approval process is based on determining what the movies need as opposed to there being real legal red tape preventing certain characters from being used.
* AgeLift:
** Godzilla was already gargantuan for quite some time before he got nuked in this continuity, which was the inciting incident for him becoming massive in the Toho continuity. Furthermore, the shape of his feet indicate that his species of dinosaur came from an earlier period of time than the Toho version.
** Judging by TheStinger of ''Kong: Skull Island'', Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah are also a lot older than their Toho counterparts. The original movie involving King Ghidorah mentioned that he was over 5,000 years old, but based on Godzilla's own AgeLift and the fact that the two have already fought at some point in ancient history, he's most likely '''[[TimeAbyss significantly]]''' older here.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Monkeys The setting's entire premise is that the world is filled with these, and lizards, thus far.while they've been mostly dormant, they're making a comeback.
