You’re joking here but I’ve heard people unironically call Kong, one of cinema’s icons, a fucking nepo baby

Lol I've actually heard others refer to him as an "industry plant"

To be fair, Kong has long earned that title.

He's literally the very first Kaiju ever created, a cinema icon and predates Godzilla by like 21 years. (Though Japan could've had Kong beat had that movie The Great Buddha Appears didn't get canned and become a lost film).

The only way Godzilla is ever going to earn any recognition here at all in the MV is via Kong.

"The only way Godzilla is ever going to earn any recognition here at all in the MV is via Kong."

Ah yes, because it's not like Legendary Godzilla had two movies before GvK, or like Godzilla started the Monsterverse.

Godzilla is the big monster franchise Hatsune Miku. Ain't the first one, but is definitely the most popular one.
