Why These Lines In Godzilla Vs. Kong Are So Important

The humans in Godzilla vs. Kong may not add much in terms of action, but they do provide better dialogue than the titular monsters. Here are the lines in Godzilla vs. Kong that you never realized were so important.

The first impactful line from Godzilla vs. Kong isn't even dialogue; it's from the lyrics to the song "Over The Mountain (Across the Sea)" by Bobby Vinton. The slow, soothing doo-wop song plays over the sight of King Kong going about his morning routine on Skull Island. The song itself mainly serves to set the relaxed tone of the movie's opening scene. However, it's also a callback to King Kong's origins. Until Legendary Entertainment started featuring Kong in its burgeoning MonsterVerse, the character was most famous for King Kong's original 1933 movie and its remakes. In most versions of the classic King Kong story, Kong has a protective fascination with the American women he encounters.

Additionally, this sets up two other elements of the movie. First, it references the connection Kong has with Jia, the last remaining member of Skull Island's Iwi Natives. Second, it foreshadows the idea that Kong may find others of his kind far away in the bowels of the Hollow Earth. No matter the context, the song's lyrics are an important characterization tool, painting Kong as a lonely figure and foreshadowing his desire for a family later on.
