Are people genuinely upset at them putting Kong against Godzilla?

This isn't death battle, or any variation of it. It's two iconic monsters fighting each other. The writers care about how to set up their fight and making it as epic as possible; they don't give a damn about godzilla having a durability of 40 kilotons or whatever.

How does Jigglypuff have any chance against Samus in Smash?

Jigglypuff could probably tank all kinds of crazy attacks, especially Dragon/Dark type etc, while also being capable of learning a bunch of different move types. Is Samus immune to Psychic or Thunder etc? we'll never know. As per game logic, Pokemon with enough training can defeat the equivalent of gods.

What's an axe gonna do compared to that?


The axe is likely made out of the corpse of Godzilla's species that Kong will find.

There was already one such in Godzilla 2014 that one of the MUTO's had birthed from (the Godzilla was implanted with it and then died due to it and then millions of years later birthed the MUTO)

Godzilla
  • Bajillion feet tall
  • Nuclear powered
  • Nuclear breath that he can focus into a laser like beam
  • Fights alien kaijus for fun
King Kong
  • 10 stories tall
  • Regular ape power
  • Has...thumbs I guess
  • Cries himself to sleep licking his wounds
So how exactly is this movie going to last longer then 2 minutes?

Watch the trailer. He's as tall as Godzilla now and has an axe made from one of Godzilla's dorsal fins that can deflect Godzilla's atomic breath.

this has me thinking; we have a variety of users on era from all walks of life, even a dog that posts regularly, but do we have any MONKE posters?

In the original Toho one, they buffed both Kong durability (he can tank Godzilla breath no issue) and give Kong abilities to absorb electricity for a power-up.

This one they literally give Kong a plot armor stick, I have no idea how or why the scale can divert/guide Godzilla breath lmao.

You guys overthink this way too much, Kong won the last time they met. He had an electricity buff in the first match and in this rematch he's putting his ape intelligence to use by wielding a tool made from the corpse of another Godzilla.

Godzilla will still come out on top but it won't be a complete stomp because then the movie wouldn't be entertaining.

Godzilla is incredibly durable, but a gorilla the same size as he is will be significantly stronger. If that blade Kong has is able to actually pierce Godzilla's skin, Kong can kill him.

We all know he won't though, because they'll have to team up for the final act.

As I joke in my comment, this is actually the truth. It's like asking why humans are the dominant species on Earth despite Bears, Lions, Tigers, and whatnot being larger, stronger, faster, and just generally more naturally lethal. We won because we could make sticks, which turned into axes and sword and bows and arrows, and then guns. Big Monke needs only a nice sharp axe and maybe a strong shield to protect against laser breath and Godzilla is toast.
So King Kong is a metaphor for humans and Godzilla is nature?

In the Toho original, Kong won.
Technically that was supposed to be Frankenstein v King Kong. Then they replaced Frankenstein with Godzilla and then decided that Kong should have Frankenstein's abilities. Hence why Kong was powered up by lightning, which was actually a Godzilla thing at that point.

This definitely makes sense from beginning to end.
