At one time the final battle in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire took place in Moscow instead of Rio de Janeiro. I assume this was changed in light of Russia invading Ukraine (preproduction on the film began the previous month).
The first three pieces are by MUTO designer Matt Allsopp and the last is by Raj Rihal (with full Instagram post included because he used an amusing name for the Skar King).

Having an existential crisis over Zuko from GxK being bigger than Kong was in the Skull Island movie, proportions and all.

Ichi: I don't understand, people who get in relationships and call each other cheap pet names. Like sugar or honey. They should raise the bar and call them expensive things.
Godzilla: Good morning my beautiful electric bills.
Mothra: I love you grocery list.
Rodan: How's going my dear student loans?
Ichi: I hate you all.

Fun Trivia : Did you know Catfish exist in Japanese mythology called Namazu?
Legend has it that there was a giant underground catfish which causes earthquakes and lives under the islands of Japan.
It was believe to be have been spotted at Lake Biwa and there is an Otsu-e painting depicting the creature in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture.
Tumblr media
So the producers of Shogun knew what they were doing when they created this scene of Yabu and Ishido about the supersition.
It happened when an eel fisherman reportedly spotted unusual active catfish in a river, followed by an earthquake.
Tumblr media
Namazu was considered by the people to be "Yanaoshi Daimyojin" (God of World Rectification), an avenger of social injustice.
They believed the rich hoarded their wealth but were disgorged due to earthquake and redistribute to the people in rebuilding efforts.
Tumblr media
Although Ishido repeatedly tries to deny it but you can tell that he is actually terrified knowing that his recent actions were "immoral".
Being born a peasant, he would believe the Namazu but pretend not to care to show his followers that he is not a peasant but a Samurai.
Tumblr media
And the fact that Toranaga survived the earthquakes thrice implies that the Gods or Namazu have favored him over Ishido.
Toranaga probably believe in it to, thinking that Anjin is sent by the Gods to protect him. One reason he decides to keep him by his side.
Tumblr media
Toranaga, being an opportunist and strategist, takes the earthquake as an omen that those who follow Ishida would be doomed.
Not only is he now a "rebel", being abandoned by the Taiko's heir and consort, Ochiba but also abandoned by the Gods.
Tumblr media
Japanese religion and folklore brim with an astounding variety of deities and creatures, products of a polytheistic belief.
Richly varied in appearance and behaviour, this pantheon laid the groundwork for the Kaiju culture of modern era like Godzilla.
Tumblr media
Some believe Godzilla to be simply a demonic but some believe it to be a wrath of the Gods sent to punish humans, like the Namazu.
A reason that I've always loved watching Japanese films is that there's always a mix of legends which adds to the mystery.

Mothra: What’s your favorite color?
Godzilla: Stop asking stupid questions. Ask me something logical and mature.
Mothra: How many moles of sodium bicarbonate are needed to neutralize 0.8ml of sulfuric acid at STP?
Godzilla: My favorite color is pink.

by the way, just know that every time you redesign mothra to have big, feathery antennae you’re accidentally making her transgender. and just think, you could be making her INTENTIONALLY transgender!

How nature points out the folly of man
GODZILLA
My version of Godzilla known as Onryō Gojira. Who was a large species of marine mammal before being mutated in a extreme freak accident that might have involved a lot of nuclear radiation. She’s a female in my version!
