Skull Island (2023– )
8/10
I can already tell people are going to misunderstand the show
23 June 2023
It's called "SKULL ISLAND" not "KONG: SKULL ISLAND". Kong doesn't have a of screen time because the show, I believe, is more based off of all the wildlife on the Island rather than just Kong himself. I had fun seeing all the new canon creatures of Skull Island! That being said, Kong has some moments as well. I think what some people want is Kong constantly on the screen. The fights are fun when you see them (especially the last one. No spoilers but it was awesome). We also see that Kong has human-like compassion but at the same time can be brutal like any other gorilla if need be (which is very clever, I think, because it sorta shows he has character and personality because of how closely related he is too humans due to his species). There are some of shocking moments too (once again, no spoilers).

There are a couple problems I had with the show though. First off, the cliffhangers at the end of each episode could've been better. I'm not going to spoil the last cliffhanger, but let's just say that if season two happens the way it looks, then it would sorta betray what the show is about (you'll see what I mean once you get there). Secondly, the plot of the show seems a little rushed. I really do feel like there should've been more that made the story feel smoother. But other than that, it was pretty good.
