Adam Wingard ’s continuation toGodzilla vs. Kongsaw the King of the Monsters undergo a powerful transformation , one that changedGodzilla ’s nuclear office from blue to pink . The alteration to one of his trademark features helped distinguishGodzilla x Kong’stake on the iconic kaiju from allother versions of Godzilla .
This was n’t the first prison term that a picture show has experiment with thecolor of Godzilla ’s atomic breath . 2016’sShin Godzilla , for instance , gave him purple energy . He boasted red and orange interlingual rendition of his atomic breath in a few of his Heisei and Millennium era movies , sometimes for reason that were directly related to the story . That was the sheath yet again inGodzilla x Kong , where Godzilla apparently feel it necessary to upgrade himself , this meter with a pink - colored exponent - up . The decision paved the path for Legendary ’s Monsterverse to preface what is now being called the Evolved Form into Godzilla lore .
The Monsterverse Confirmed Tiamat’s Existence In Godzilla: King Of The Monsters
While it took untilGodzilla x Kong : The New Empirefor Godzilla to formulate his pinkish shape , the enigma to accessing it has been a part of the Monsterverse sinceGodzilla : King of the Monsters . After the boom from Ghidorah that wake up the Titans of the Monsterverse , Stone Mountain was listed as one of the locating where a Titan escaped from a Monarch outstation . A mathematical function seen onscreen in the 2019 movie confirmed that the facility in question was Outpost 53 in Stone Mountain , Georgia . concord to the single-valued function , the Titan being monitored there was Tiamat , the monster whose death pave the agency for " Evolved Godzilla . "
At the time , all information about Tiamat was receptive to speculation , just as it was for the other 10unseenGodzilla : male monarch of the MonstersTitans . The name ’s mythological link allowed for some cue , however , and even prompted theories that the mysterious creature could be a flying dragon or a ocean serpent of some sort . Of naturally , Tiamat turn out to be the basis of a future Godzilla translation was a development that could n’t have been predicted at this metre , especially since she was just one of many mystery Titans .
Godzilla Fought Tiamat Before Godzilla x Kong, Setting Up His Pink Form
The 2d - and the crowing - step toward Godzilla ’s Evolved Form took form inGodzilla : Dominion , a vivid novel prequel toGodzilla vs. Kong . discharge in 2021,Godzilla : Dominionsaw the King of the Monsters patrol the earth in the aftermath of Ghidorah ’s defeat . During this clock time , Godzilla had to go up against three Titans , one of which being Tiamat . It was in this storey that the Monsterverse first bring out Tiamat ’s design . Revealed as a herculean sea snake living in an underwater cave , Tiamat was portray as both profane and pink , a item that held great signification than it seemed .
Not only didGodzilla vs. Dominionintroduce the pink energy source that would later define Godzilla ’s new flavor inGodzilla x Kong , but it also established an animus between the two creatures . InGodzilla x Kong , Godzilla seem to ruthlessly seek out Tiamat , toss off her , and steal her big businessman . But in the linguistic context ofGodzilla : Dominion , their fight gives off a unlike impression . The events ofDominionprove that they already know each other , as the Holy Scripture designate the two fighting after Godzilla entered its den , unaware of Tiamat ’s presence .
Mothra ’s income tax return in Godzilla x Kong : The New Empire make a fully grown plot hole , but it can be fix if the Monsterverse introduce her freehanded villain .
Godzilla skin right against Tiamat , who showcased the power that eventually became Godzilla ’s inGodzilla x Kong . In the conflict , the bioelectric serpent Titan dim Godzilla with a spray attack that in all probability stem from the energy that powers her . This made thing more difficult for Godzilla , but did n’t discontinue him from winning and squeeze Tiamat to back down . Though this looked to be the oddment of it , it ’s now understood that Godzilla did n’t block about his underwater rival .

Will Godzilla Get To Keep Tiamat’s Power?
Godzilla’s new power-up is likely temporary
For now , it ’s ill-defined if " Evolved Godzilla " will revert afterGodzilla x Kong : The New Empire’sending . The Monsterverse could play it back ifGodzilla vs Kong 3happens since he still had it at the end of the moving-picture show , but since Tiamat ’s power is n’t by nature his , it ’s likely that it ’s not a lasting power - up . Similar to how the burning contour he meet from Mothra wore off cursorily , the pink Department of Energy may dissipate once Godzilla has used it all up . If and when that occurs , Godzilla may soon encounter himself looking for a new power root , specially if a new threat emerges in the next Monsterverse movie .
