After all, the skull containing his consciousness is still intact, just Mechagodzilla being destroyed and leaving him without a vessel to exact his will. If the Monsterverse continues there certainly is room for Ghidorah to play an OrcusOnHisThrone role commanding evil titans even reduced to a skull, or with his ability to regenerate when exposed to enough radiation he could potentially even return in full after a botched attempt to destroy the skull triggers his regeneration.

[[WMG: Mechagodzilla's sadism is because Kevin was actually the most evil of the three heads.]]
* Kevin, despite his constant DracoInLeatherPants treatment, has shown levels of PsychopathicManchild tendencies surpassing even Ichi and Ni, such as the scene in KOTM where as Ghidorah drains Godzilla's energy Kevin visibly licks his face menacingly before eagerly ripping into his throat. It's likely that while Ichi is the cunning one and Ni is the more outright aggressive one, Kevin is the outright AxCrazy one whose psychotic tendencies are simply restrained by Ichi's dominance: and now that he has a body all his own, Kevin is finally free to cause all the desteuction he wants, starting his fight in Hong Kong by ''vaporizing fleeing civilians in the streets with his proton beam''.

** The only thing I can recall that might be construed as Ghidora being telepathic was the Alpha Call he gave after dethroning Big Daddy G in the previous movie, which by that very fact was implied to be something any Alpha-tier Titan can do if thy take the throne. And my understanding was that Ghidorah hijacking Mecha G was due to the HollowEarth magic pulling his mind(s) back from the dead, not Ghidora's HealingFactor. If Ghidora's healing factor had kicked in, then wouldn't the skull have just grown a new body?

** Perhaps "no Titan activity" simply means ''aggressive'' activity and attacks on cities? Maybe they're just ambling around on the surface minding their own business, and avoided joining the fights as it was a struggle between alphas, and not their place.

[[WMG: Ren Serizawa survived Ghidora's takeover of Mechagodzilla.]]

Following Walter Simmons' death, we're treated to a shot of the neural interface in Ghidora's skull overloading as it undergoes a total transfer, presumably killing its pilot, Ren Serizawa, in the process. However, it's very well likely that the shocks induced during the process only incapacitated Ren instead of outright killing him, as we're never given any indication regarding ''how'' lethal the electricity/energy coursing through his body was. Assuming that the Monsterverse continues beyond GvK, it could very well end up that Ren survived his ordeal in Hong Kong and succeeded Simmons as Apex's CEO, becoming a central antagonist in future Monsterverse films alongside Alan Jonah. Though given the infamy that the Mechagodzilla incident would've garnered, it's probable that Ren would also reshape Apex into an underground terrorist cell, though one built upon anti-Titan human supremacy in contrast to Jonah's pro-Titan Eco-terrorism.
* It'd also stand to reason that he wouldn't exactly have come out of the ordeal unscathed. Aside from the probable mental ailments, what better physical scarring is most appropriate for a [[Film/Godzilla1954 Serizawa]] than one that necessitates an EyepatchOfPower?

Godzilla and Kong have fought before, and perhaps he may make a surprise appearance in this film during the climax.

[[WMG: The movie is a prequel to Pacific Rim]]

The "hollow earth" isn't underground, they just ripped a portal to another dimension. No way they could go 6 thousand km so quickly. It's just a portal.
After the movie ended the kaiju just kept coming through. So eventually everyone got fed up, and dusted off the old Mechagodzilla schematics.
Mental control with one pilot obviously didn't work. The jaeger went berserk and destroyed Hong Kong, but with two pilots they could assert control under full power.
Since the original production facility was located in Hong Kong it was also the last facility to be shut down.
Leading to Pacific Rim.

*** Doubtful. The news report specifically states there's been no "substantiated Titan sighting in over three years" -- that implies that humans haven't encountered any of the Titans ''at all'' in three years. You'd think if the Titans were still around and active, humans would still be avidly wanting to document, record, photograph and study these amazing super-creatures peacefully from a safe distance.


Added DiffLines:

* Considering how Ren and Simmons were dumb enough to not think hooking Ghidorah's still-living neurons up to their WorldsStrongestMan was insanely stupid, and considering how Simmons is extremely absorbed in his own ego, it wouldn't surprise me if it also turns out that they didn't think that part through.

[[WMG:If Ghidorah hadn't hijacked Mechagodzilla, Ren would've lost.]]

We never see any indication Ren has any combat training whatsoever, his 'practice' seemed to have consisted entirely of killing Skullcrawlers much smaller than Mechagodzilla, and only able to be active for a few moments max in a small room. Kong regularly kills Skullcrawlers that size in proportion to himself. It's likely Ren's combat skills are nothing compared to Ghidorah's, and Godzilla would've likely outmatched him in that department.

Kong demonstrates his human-level intelligence, able to understand and speak to humans via sign language. Given that, his ancestors' ability to craft and make tools and weapons, and the fact that the cathedral-like structures are WAY too big for ancient humans to have made: what if Kong's species was actually a civilization, and his feral, animalistic existence on Skull Island was due to the last Kongs being driven to Skull Island essentially as castaways?

[[WMG:The Titans are missing because they returned to hibernation]]
Based on how Godzilla's Apex attack is the first substantiated Titan sighting in ''three years'' despite the mass awakening in ''King of the Monsters'', it seems to this troper likely that something must have happened to the other active Titans besides Godzilla. Not this troper's idea, and admittedly this troper would be really unimpressed and quite disappointed if it turns out to be the case (because it really feels like a TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot AbortedArc and a CliffhangerCopout after ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019''), but the theory goes: Godzilla let the subjugated Titans remain active long enough to clean up all the ecological damage to Earth's ecosphere, then once that was done he commanded them all to return to hibernation to avoid butting heads with them or humanity.

* Seems unlikely. Ghidorah's telepathy was key to the interface making Mechagodzilla controllable, and his regeneration powers were apparently key to him hijacking it. Another Titan wouldn't have the unique biological factors that made Ghidorah serviceable as Mechagodzilla's CPU.

Skull Island was protected by a perpetual hurricane that made approaching it all but impossible. Now, the storm has engulfed the island, killing the Iwi natives and confining Kong to the small facility Monarch was able to build. What changed? Well, Ghidorah's activity in ''King of the Monsters'' was creating massive storms, perhaps this disrupted the delicate balance keeping the Skull Island storm a barrier, turning it into something that wrecked the island (and likely weakening it such that travel is easier -- still certainly not fun, but not dramatic enough to be worthy of screentime.

[[WMG: [[Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019 Alan Jonah]] willingly gave Ghidorah's leftover head to Apex, and here's why...]]
After Jonah took the head from the Isla de Mara fishermen, he probably conducted experiments and scans on it, and eventually something revealed electrical activity in the head, which confirmed that part of Ghidorah is still alive despite the head decomposing. Jonah subsequently suspected Apex would be TooDumbToLive when he made contact with them and gave them the head, and that Apex would unwittingly instigate Ghidorah's resurrection when messing around with the head.

The issue with this theory is why would Apex not detect the signs that Jonah did that Ghidorah was alive inside the skull. Perhaps they did and they just ignored it or thought they could suppress Ghidorah (using Ghidorah's neurology at all with its unknown BizarreAlienBiology and known OmnicidalManiac behavior is already obscenely stupid after all -- at that point, who's to say Apex were also foolish enough to ignore signs that Ghidorah was alive in the head that Jonah would've taken more seriously).

Although we only know of Kevin's decapitated head being used as part of [=MechaGodzilla=], with it seeming likely that the second part of Ghidorah Heyes mentioned was most likely inside the actual mech (assuming he guessed right there) also came from Kevin's head; as another troper pointed out on the [[Fridge/GodzillaVsKong Fridge]] page, based on Ghidorah's octopus-like decentralized nervous system, it's entirely possible that Kevin's severed head didn't just retain Kevin's personality but also a bit of the other two heads when the head took control of [=MechaGodzilla=].

[[WMG: San/Kevin's head suffered brain damage which caused TookALevelInJerkass]]
This theory assumes that San/Kevin's skull retained his individual personality intact. If that is so, then Apex wiring up and meddling with Kevin's severed head in the years between ''King of the Monsters'' and ''Godzilla vs. Kong'' likely caused one of the below, explaining why [=MechaGodzilla=] only exhibits Ghidorah's overall [[OmnicidalManiac drive to kill everything that moves]] and has none of Kevin's curiosity:

(1) Kevin's mind was suffering an AndIMustScream fate for years, causing him to suffer BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil (or rather Makes You ''More'' Evil).
(2) Or, Apex wiring up and chipping away at Kevin's neurology when they were working on the skull effectively erased Kevin's individual personality traits, leaving only Ghidorah's base sadism and desire to murder as much life as it can.
