I hate that this is even a thing.
- Godzilla is a metaphor (either intended or simply ingrained in the Japanese psyche) for Hiroshima and Nagasaki
- King Kong is a “Beauty and the Beast” love story
They are from different eras and are important films in their own way.
But we end up getting this shite because monsters must fight monsters, apparently.
It’s all a load of fucking shit and devalues the importance of each movies. It should never have been made.
Anyway, I haven’t seen the movie but Godzilla would win. Atomic breath. Come on guys, the monkey’s dead meat that you can’t touch for a hundred thousand years.
Yes, you’re absolutely right, I’d forgotten about that.
I think my main point is still valid though - Godzilla is a physical manifestation of the destruction that nuclear activity can cause.
As I read on another post somewhere: “Ask a Japanese, and radiation creates monsters. Ask an American, and radiation creates superheros.”
