The Once and Future King - Godzilla: King of the Monsters

Jonah's got a Ghidorah head.

Have Kong get WHOOPED the first round, with a 2x size difference. Godzilla doesn't even really try to fight but stomps.

Then they transplant some Ghidorah cells into Kong. This supercharges Kong, causing him to grow too, and gives Kong lightning powers. Kong's now 3/4 as tall as Godzilla and nearly as strong, and we get a cool fight.

It can even lead to Kong having to fight off the Ghidorah influence too.
 
Bit of a tangent, but I've only just discovered the thread and there's one thing that really struck me.
The scene with Godzilla's revival strikes a pretty obvious parallel to ancient human sacrificial rites. Especially the ancient Aztecs, who believed their chief sun god was powered by blood and, importantly, human sacrifice.
So Godzilla, a being of nuclear fire (IE: sun-stuff) that is literally called a god, gets supercharged when a lone man climbs the steps to the top of what is quite obviously a temple and willingly gives his life. That's some pretty heavy handed symbolism.

I found it pretty fascinating, so I'm wondering if anyone else noticed that.
Really? I thought it was more a parallel to the original Godzilla movie. There Serizawa sacrifices himself using the Oxygen Destroy to kill Godzilla, here Serizawa sacrifices himself to revive Godzilla after he had been almost killed by the Oxygen Destroyer.
 
Godzilla vs. Kong needs a bold, fresh new take on the opposition. Something that has never been done before, instead of retreading the monsters of previous movies.

And I have the perfect solution.

That's right. Consider the genius:

Mecha-Kong

It can be both. They might even have unintentionally drawn the sacrifice parallel without meaning to. That's the funny thing about symbolism, really.

Good news everyone we are getting Criteron of every Showa movie

In 1954, an enormous beast clawed its way out of the sea, destroying everything in its path—and changing movies forever. The arresting original Godzilla soon gave rise to an entire monster-movie genre (kaiju eiga), but the King of the Monsters continued to reign supreme: in fourteen fiercely entertaining sequels over the next two decades, Godzilla defended its throne against a host of other formidable creatures, transforming from a terrifying symbol of nuclear annihilation into a benevolent (if still belligerent) Earth protector. Collected here for the first time are all fifteen Godzilla films of Japan's Showa era, in a landmark set showcasing the technical wizardry, fantastical storytelling, and indomitable international appeal that established the most iconic giant monster the cinema has ever seen.

My collection is two movie short, I but I will get all of them

Maybe a nanometal planet of the ape cyborg who been infused with ghidorah dna, because when trying to kill the king there is no overkill only open fire and reload. Prehaps destoyah can crash the party who taken dna from all the parties around the oxygen destoryer, Godzilla can however put his status as the king to good use via recruiting Mothra and Rodin to his side. Epic three way brawl starts now.
 


I noticed a new detail when watching the youtube clips uploaded after the first digital releases that makes Ghidorah seem even more unstoppably invincible. Take note about 30 seconds into the clip. After Ghidorah shoots his lightning from his wings starts posing like the devil amidst the backdrop of a burning city and the wreckage of the American military, he's regenerating all the injuries Godzilla and the armed forces dealt to his wings while showing them off. Godzilla is out of allies, he's exhausted and in serious pain from being forcefed all the voltage of the entirety of every power grid that interacts with Boston's and unable to go for another round and everything he, mothra, and humanity did to Ghidorah is undone in about five seconds of t-posing to assert dominance and he's not even a little tired.

Godzilla, Mothra, and the military had accomplished literally nothing and Ghidorah made it perfectly clear victory through conventional means was never actually in the cards to begin with the second he rebalanced the teams with a bit of juice and a stretch of his wings. They couldn't even make the king of terror bleed and after all the heroes had exhausted every option available to them, Ghidorah just healed up and made it clear he could keep doing this forever until everyone opposing him was dead. Nothing they could do could do any lasting harm to him and his stamina seems to be entirely without limit. Very little could hurt him and anything that could would just be regenerated in seconds.

Only the final result of the combined sacrifices of Serizawa, Mothra, and Emma (notably three people all giving their lives for Godzilla's sake in quick succession) were able to do this damn climate change dragon any lasting damage.

No wonder why Godzilla drops literally everything to try stopping him every second Ghidorah's awake. Ghidorah literally cannot lose if you give him any recovery time at all; even actual seconds. It also makes Godzilla incredibly brave for doing so because without his fire mode power up there is no way for Godzilla or any other monsterverse Kaiju to ever win a fight with Ghidorah outside of the water barring special circumstances. Inevitably Ghidorah's infinite stamina, complete lack of need for any internal organs meaning that he can't actually die in any conventional way barring incineration, and near instantaneous regeneration will simply wear down his enemy and he'll either kill them or make them bow. And if they can't fly well, they get a free ride with the Golden Stratosphere airline with an express return ticket to the ground.

Makes you wonder what the fuck kind of hell planet Ghidorah is actually from. If he's at all representative of his homeworld's biology then macroscopic organisms from his homeworld have no actual differentiated internal organs due to all such processes being handled by evenly distributed structures, they don't use oxygen in their biochemistry at all, they can just grow more biomass from nothing, are able to drain most forms of energy through their mouths, and at least some of them have more than one head with separate personalities for each of them.

Ghidorah's biology is approaching tyranid levels of weird here.

Though that's with a power source to charge off of- in the old days he'd be strong, but have less to draw on. Which explains why he did not win their past fights.
 
Though looking at it, it seemed almost like Godzilla had given up after being blasted by Ghidorah's lightning storm? He mostly stands there warily and has completely stopped his previously relentless offense. It might be because he's simplly too debilitated to keep on going though.

"The devil has three heads" indeed.
 




Took a look at this clip again and the lead up to it and checked online.

Anguirius was in the MV the whole time.

He was just dead all along. Probably killed by Ghidorah.

No wonder why Godzilla makes his home at the temple, he doesn't want to say goodbye to an old friend and stays alongside his comrade's corpse; even though it skeletonised long ago.

Considering Godzilla never managed to kill him, I think the point still stands. I would also say that Ghidorah was still a beast even without charging, considering he mopped the floor with Godzilla in Antarctica post-thaw. Hell, the only time regular Godzilla had an advantage was when he blindsided Ghidorah and pulled him into the ocean.
