Is Paul Bunyan a Kaiju?
- Thread starter Sacul64
- Start date
I need a Paul Bunyan movie where he's shipped out to fight on the frontlines of WW2. That's a big fucking axe in that picture.
He is the Greek titan Hyperion. You can still find him residing in the USA in the new form he has taken for himself as the tallest tree in the world.
If Fenrir and Jörmungandr are Kaiju, then I don't know how you can argue that Hel isn't as they are all siblings. So there you have evidence of a human shaped Kaiju, however he could just be a Giant (like the mother of these three was)
Now the questions is, are Babe and Paul siblings as well?

Is this also the thread where we settle once and for all whether Clifford the Big Red Dog is a Kaiju?
I'd like to see a John Henry + Paul Bunyon buddy movie in the same vein as something silly like Shanghai Noon.

I really want to see this now, that trailer I watched even shows Kong with an Ax.
Literally my response when my roommate asked.
Hmmmmmm...
Only in Ghostbusters 2, the first Marvel lego game, and Zombie Nation.
No? Kaiju are anything. The word just means Strange Creature.

I feel like Hel is normally considered a god while the other two are just big ol' (very important) monsters so there's some split already happening with them in some works.
I know he's typically depicted that way, but I was always under the impression from the "actual" legends (if there is such a thing) that he was just a big man, not that he was some kind of giant. Even Babe was only described as "big", not "towered beyond the sunset" huge.

yep. Strange Beast. They don't even have to be giant. That's daikaiju.
