So first off … no we don’t have Kong.
Raptors – down the line, but not King Kong.
So why the image?
With the recent additions added to the wiki – four of them were from the King Kong: Skull Island. In typical Sylum fashion we twisted the story around to fit our needs.
Still not having Kong.
Why?
Well there is a reason for that. Let me tell you a tale about the monkey that wouldn’t die.
This was a while back, while I was still with my ex. I had come home with a 102 temperature (I’m not even going to mention the fact I had to go to work sick for some stupid ‘team bonding’ experience) so you can imagine I’m not in the mood. All I wanted was my bed.
But was that in my future.
NO!
Ex dragged me out to see King Kong … the remake with Jack Black. I was tired, sick and just plain miserable – this movie is 3 hours long. All my fever addled mind could focus on was the simple fact – when the monkey dies the movie is over and I can go home.
So through the whole movie – yes all 3 hours – I just kept repeating in my head – ‘Die Monkey Die’.
Needless to say I do not have fond memories of that film.
When we recently watched Skull Island, I was seriously disappointed that I didn’t get Samuel L. Jackson in all his crazed glory screaming ‘Die Monkey Die’ it was ripe for it – it needed it … such a potential moment lost.
And this is why we won’t have Kong – unless I purposely build a story – just so I can kill the Monkey.

I’m sure we have a stockpile of explosives big enough to to the job, and enough experts to make it happen.
So I vote DEATH TO THE MONKEY!!
