Article Summary
- Legendary teases a new 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' trailer during the Puppy Bowl.

While some people might be turning on the TV for the Super Bowl today, others are tuning in for a completely different reason. Ever since it made its first debut in 2005, the Puppy Bowl has become one of the best parts of the Super Bowl season. It began as a piece of counterprogramming to the Super Bowl and has been used to raise awareness for adopting pets from shelters and rescues—also, people just really like puppies. More and more companies have been leaning into the Puppy Bowl as the years have gone on, and this year is no different. In terms of marketing, this might be one of the better ones. There is a new trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire coming out this Wednesday, and to tease it, they have dressed two puppies as Godzilla and Kong, respectively, and filmed them playfighting. This, by itself, is better than the entirety of Madame Web's marketing, and we salute Legendary for that alone. Then again, that bar is so low that these puppies could jump over it with minimal effort or needing to be bribed with treats.
