@Buck Turgidson Hyper-realistic, well-researched simulation: (Also probably better than the forthcoming movie, LOL.)
Probably because he's 86 years old. Look, you can go all in with the dudes who got wiped out by some little b!tchass space rock, that's totally your prerogative.
So it’s good that we wrapped this up without tempers flaring: Barring Kong flopping or something, Godzilla should win.
I rewatched Rampage. Mostly skipped to the action scenes. There's a 'money shot' scene, where George the monkey has a payoff on the villain lady. Slight spoilery (2018) Note the Michael Bay-ish 360 degree pan.
"vested interest"? Tell me more. @B-Bob Bobby Physics is telling me Godzilla wins in an early KO, I don't see that happening, it's gonna go the distance. Where can I get some action on this?
So a week or so ago I was discussing who would win, King Kong or Godzilla. In doing so, I made a fairly large blunder that no one that I was talking with picked up on and in doing so I VASTLY overestimated King Kong's chances. The mistake is the exact same one that many people make when discussing which animals gorillas could beat in a fight.....and that's the person taking the traits of the gorilla and imagining what they could do with those attributes rather than focusing on what the gorilla in question ACTUALLY does with those attributes. In short, Gorillas are kind of terrible fighters with almost no natural killer instinct. Sure they are strong enough to shred trees and on at least one occasion have literally ripped someone's head completely off their body and their bite strength is greater than that of a lion.....but they almost never actually use those abilities in ways that are effective in combat. On top of that, apes, like humans, have fairly tight easy to tear skin which is a massive disadvantage when going up against an animal with claws and sharp teeth.....and it's why even silverback gorillas live in constant fear of MUCH smaller animals like leopards which are typically less than half the size of the silverback gorillas they routinely kill and eat. Size and strength doesn't mean anything if you have no clue how to use it effectively in a fight and your skin is easily punctured causing you to bleed out. For those reasons, even if King Kong was literally twice the size of Godzilla, Kong would almost certainly lose almost instantly if they were to fight. Now, if instead of a giant gorilla, you had a giant bear, that's a whole different story.....but the idea of a bear the size of King Kong or Godzilla is too frightening to even conceive of.
I swear they made Godzilla's head so small this time. No fair at all. In international trailer, I love the kind of exasperated, "It's Godzilla," circa 0:46.
Right? It's like they have Marvin Hagler at his peak, fighting some chump, so the boxing commission says "well, let's surgically shorten his arms and weaken his chin." SMDH. Definitely not pay-per-view material here.
Good points. If you watch Skull Island, you’ll see that Kong was raised on a steady diet of beating down giant monsters. So, we’ll say he ‘trained’ for the big fight.
