I can’t get over the fact that when Bill lost Keiko, he was still okay. Sad yes, but he was okay. Lee was there with him, Lee was helping him, and at the very least Keiko’s death was something that could be explained — she fell and monsters took her.
But when Bill lost Lee, he lost himself. He had no one. He was alone. And he had no answers. Lee “died” and Bill didn’t know how or why.
It was Lee’s “death” that pushed everything over the edge.
Bill went to Skull Island, for Lee.
Bill died searching for answers, for Lee.
The fact that we now have completely recontextualized Bill’s motivations in Kong: Skull Island makes rewatch far more tragic and painful 🥲

Keiko, Shaw, and Bill give SUCH throuple energy. It's cannon to me. No one will tell me otherwise.

I couldn't break myself into tears after watching the episode. Keiko reuniting with Lee, crying after finding out that Bill is dead, she has been living for about "56 days means 56 years".
Then here goes the battle with Godzilla and Ion Dragon. SWEET TOHO OUR KING'S GOING TO KILL THIS S***.
And finally, Keiko reuniting her son Hiroshi for the first time. Lee Shaw sacrifices himself for the safety of his friends and his co-partner to return from the surface world. I know I cannot bear myself to see this. Looks like Cate and Kentaro will have more answers about her and this involvement of Monarch. Now I am waiting for Season 2...
I swear if Lee Shaw is dead, and Season 2 won't be announced, I'm gonna kill everybody in this room, and then myself.

it's a bit like herding cats, sir, if cats had geiger counters and thought they were smarter than you.

Bill has lost his whole team twice over. He was the only survivor on the Lawton and he died thinking he was the only survivor of his Monarch.

i loved the whole "the three of them are soulmates", "they all belong together" and "there's love between all of them" so, so much but i also can't stop thinking how absolutely tragic it is in the context of what we've seen so far because regardless of how much they all loved each other, it didn't last. keiko died (or disappeared) in 1959, bill died in 1973 and shaw has alone for 42 years.

Bill Randa's hat reps the Kansas City Monarchs, perhaps most famous as the team Jackie Robinson played for before he broke Major League Baseball's color barrier. Apart from being a great pun, unfathomably based for a white guy to wear a Black team's hat during World War II
