Here's a fun theory: What if Monsterverse Kong is somehow related to Tarzan's apes? Now, this isn't a direct link, but more of a nod to Edgar Rice Burroughs' concepts. Kong isn't your typical giant ape; he's more of a missing link, walking upright, using tools, and having a basic understanding of human language. Tarzan's apes, known as mangani, are described as a mix between chimps and gorillas, also walking upright, using tools, and having a complex language system. The connection deepens when you consider that the mangani share a language with the sagoths of Pellucidar, a Hollow Earth world in Burroughs' stories. In Godzilla vs. Kong, we see a world similar to Pellucidar, overrun by giant monsters. Interestingly, King Kong's creator, Merian Cooper, once tried to make a Tarzan vs. King Kong movie, but hit a snag with legal issues.
