Why do y'all call them kaijus?

Because of glorious Nippon. Desu.

 

[The Kree]

Why do y'all call them kaijus?

Because it sounds more cultured than the word 'monster'.

 

[Sunster]

Why do y'all call them kaijus?

Kaiju is the Japanese word for strange beast. Godzilla being a Japanese creation, it makes sense. I think after Pacific Rim the word kinda caught on.

 

[King Gilga]

Short answer: no. Long answer, also no, but with him conceding defeat before Godzilla mercilessly elbow drops him off the Empire State Building

Godzilla couldn't elbow drop a celery stick with those tiny little arms.

That's why he loses.

Weeb shit.

You seriously think Godzilla loses to a 100 ft gorilla? You're outta ya minddd. He couldn't even kill a 2 legged lizard that was his own size without human help.

No, but an equally sized one easily. Which is what the new kong movie seemed to be setting up.

Only way Godzilla would stance a chance would be in a desert/open plains with a large starting distance gap.

ok well a 350ft Kong would just be op. They'd have to nerf him

 

[Eidan]

I feel like King Kong vs. Godzilla is something a lot of teenage boys in the late 70s would be interested in.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

kind of disappointed they're gonna be pretty much the same height because i thought it would be really fucking cool to see kong climb godzilla

I didn't give a single shit about Godzilla vs King Kong until I read this, and now I need it.

Shadow of the Kaiju - King Kong has to hunt down all the massive kaiju because reasons.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

They should give Kong electricity powers like in the old film again (Godzilla vs. King Kong).

Of course that was because irc he was originally intended to be the Frankenstein kaiju, but hell, electric giant ape is cool.

isn't that exactly what Godzilla already does?

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

Have you played Shadow of the Colossus? I think Godzilla is a little too chunky to get up to that.

 

[G-Fex]

"Why do people even want Batman vs Superman. Batman is just like a rich human. He doesn't have anything else going for it besides its gadgets. Superman and the enemies he's most known for fighting are several orders more powerful, have death rays, radiation, flight, and a bunch of other crap."

Well that really is a stupid fucking thing to ask for. It was always a stupid idea, Miller is a hack.

 

[Hex]

Why do people overthink the most fantastical of fantasy?
People love Godzilla
People live King Kong
People want to see them in the same movie

 

[blummer102]

People want Kong vs. Zilla because these two are the most recognizable international kaiju icons (shout-out to the underappreciated Gamera), and also because there is precedent, since the two originally battled against each other in a 1962 film that's still an entertaining watch to this day.

Also, the Toho monster movies were a shared universe way before Marvel made the concept popular. Only fair that the stars of these films get a chance to shine again now that cinematic interconnectedness is the rage.

Godzilla hunting other kaiju is literally the plot of the 2014 movie that is in the same universe as the vs movie

 

[CadetMahoney]

Makes it sound all fancy or something, like it's some higher-brow content than it really is (dumb shit monster fights for 12 year olds).

 

[Xe4]

Godzilla is the king of monsters and Kong is the tinpot dictator of a backwater island. Show some damn respect.

Please. The King was fucking shit up before Godzilla was in fucking diapers.
Edit: Kong is the undefeated champion 55 years and running, baby.

 

[StoneFox]

What is a King to a God?

 

[1upsuper]

Makes it sound all fancy or something and obscure it like it's some higher-brow content than it really is (dumb shit monster fights for 12 year olds).

Why are people getting so passive aggressive over this? "Kaiju" is shorter than "giant monster." The end.

 

[Daingurse]

Please. The King was fucking shit up before Godzilla was in fucking diapers.

Dude got killed by a bi-plane.

 

[massoluk]

Please. The King was fucking shit up before Godzilla was in fucking diapers.

Please, one of them died getting attacked by a biplane.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

The same reason people want Austin vs Hogan.

 

[Xe4]

Please, one of them died getting attacked by a biplane.

Only one of them won when they actually fought last.
Hint: It wasn't Godzilla.

They had to make up a weapon to kill Godzilla lol. Kong ain't coming across more favorably here.

Please, spare me! Kong swoons like a horny teenager over every woman put in front of him. Chimp is a chump.

 

[GalacticToast]

Reminds me of my parents feeding me broccoli as a kid

 

[itwasTuesday]

King Kong is one of my dads favorite movies. (Fay Wray and PJ version) Every time it comes up he has to mention how Kong would beat Godzilla. Which btw 99' Godzilla is also one of his favorite movies. Anyway, he always uses the math that Kong easily beat 3 T-Rex's in PJ King Kong and Godzilla is about equal to 3 T-Rex dinosaurs. So by doing some quick calculations Kong > Godzilla.

I just wanted to get that out there.

All I'm saying is it's 1-0. Plus, equal size King Kong and Godzilla, it'll be Kong all day every day : )

 

[Switch Back 9]

I'm on team Kong. No real reason, I just feel kinship to my fellow primate.

That's just what a lizard person would say.

 

[The Flash]

You didn't think this out very well did you, OP?

 

[Mighty Chin]

How tall was Godzilla in the last movie?

 

[Aki-at]

Godzilla couldn't elbow drop a celery stick with those tiny little arms.

That's why he loses.

His arms aren't Kongs but Godzilla 2014 has decent sized arms, you're thinking of Shin Godzilla who has baby arms.

And he'd kill both Kong and Godzilla 2014 anyway.

 

[DerekOfTheDykes]

If the film had waited 30 more seconds before rolling credits you would have seen Kong get yanked underwater like a scene out of Jaws.

Rolling into the ocean with a radioactive sea monster and swimming further out to sea the minute you get your bearings isn't exactly a "win".

 

[massoluk]

All I'm saying is it's 1-0. Plus, equal size King Kong and Godzilla, it'll be Kong all day every day : )

You only felt this way because Kong went to heavyweight class once, got a draw, thought he proved his point before settling down to reign over the middleweight, while Godzilla continue to punch with the formidable ones like Ghidorah.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Yes we haven't forgotten how a Deus ex machina saved Kong last time.

 

[Switch Back 9]

Watch yourself.

 

[Kusagari]

Movie should end with Mothra showing up and handing them both their ass tbqh

That sounds neat, but the original idea I responded to was Kong climbing Godzilla.

I didn't think I'd have to explain the SotC reference. Ya'll missed out on one of the PS2's best games, and a beautiful work of art.

What's this Kong going to do after it reaches the top of Godzilla? Protect a beautiful blonde from Bi-planes?

 

[Gordon Shumway]

yes why do people want the two most famous giant monsters to be in a film together

The world may never know..

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

Stab him in his big dumb lizard head with one of his own spines.

 

[Caddywompus]

Godzilla has Night club rave light show powers in its spine now. At least Shin Godzilla does. I want to see Kong attempt to T-Rex Zilla's jaw only to get fried into a crispy Kentucky Fried Kong

 

[Finaika]

King Kong has far better agility & arm strength than Godzilla.

 

[Jeffolation]

Sure why not? I also want The Wolf Man to fight a Dracula and maybe some mummies too.

 

[karasu]

People are simple creatures. They see two popular things and they automatically want to see them fight. Like Superman Versus Batman even though Batman doesn't have one fucking superpower. Superman could just freeze breath the streets until Batman slips down an open manhole and then fly the fuck to China in two seconds without a care in the world. It's all very silly.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

King Kong has far better agility & arm strength than Godzilla.

Godzilla just need to breathe and Kong burns like a christmas tree.

 

[karasu]

He won't though. He will be dumbed down so Kong can keep up.

 

[DerekOfTheDykes]

King Kong has far better agility & arm strength than Godzilla.

If you want to exclude his nuclear breath and pulse attacks (the latter of which the American version may not have), Godzilla's most dangerous weapon is actually his tail. They did a good job of showing that in G'14 by

Spoiler

having him kill the flying MUTO out of nowhere with a deceptive spinning tail slap so hard it impaled it on nearby rubble

.

But don't count Goji's arm strength out, he straight up went all "puny god" on Ghidorah before, and Ghidorah weighs a hell of a lot more than Kong.

Godzilla is King of the Monsters for a reason. Dude is a mega-swole tank with extremely powerful ranged and AOE attacks, a healing factor, and surprising intelligence. Literally his only downside is that he is generally not a great runner or jumper (which is why Final Wars Godzilla is broken as shit, step out of the way Shin Godzilla)
