How do either of them fit without enlarging the vehicles to 40k scale?

Well, it appears to be an aircraft carrier; it might be something else. Like I said, it was a very brief shot.

It's an aircraft carrier all right.

To be fair, the military budget is nearly a trillion dollars. I'm sure with that amount of money you can make the biggest goddamn aircraft carrier in the history of the world. Big enough for two titans almost the size of a skyscraper to stand on without it immediately sinking.

The biggest carriers are just over 1000 feet long but would definitely collapse under the weight of Godzilla's thighs.

Personally I'm more impressed that someone built a carrier that can handle the weight of LGodzilla standing on it, much less LGodzilla and Kong.

Sorry I'm late
I thought the original King Kong vs. Godzilla was only just fine and its weird to me how that pairing remains the fascination and the culmination of the Legendary series. Kong doesn't seem like he'd be dramatically if any more relevant to the non-kaiju fan audience than Godzilla at this point and Godzilla's big recurring nemeses are Ghidorah and MechaGodzilla.

It's entirely because of the marque value

King Kong is, in many respects, the first true kaiju. The first REAL giant monster in cinema. While you had movies that can be counted as giant monster films before Kong, they were always about dinosaurs or were more fantasy/farcical. The Brontosaurus from the Lost World isn't distinctive.

King Kong however? He is a true blue giant monster and the first of his kind.

And Godzilla is, in many similar respects, the first Japanese kaiju- and definitely the first Japanese daikaiju. So there is always an inherent draw to seeing the two come together, like with Superman and Batman or whatever. They were the first and arguably the best.

with the carrier thing: the ending of KotM has kaiju being the new normal, so the military making "kaiju-proof equipment" their #1 priority makes sense

or it could be Monarch

or maybe they're not the same size and that's Legendary Minilla

I think it's still the Japanese Godzilla film with the highest number of tickets sold, yes.

I, too, am upset about the aircraft carrier thing. I wish we could go back to how it was in the last movie when they just had a flying fortress.

I mean I'm not mad about it. Silliness comes with the territory for these movies. It would be even sillier if they applied real life physics and the carrier immediately capsized when either of the Kaiju climbed aboard before dying under their own weight.

Never apply real world physics to Godzilla.





quote:

"Once emerging from the depths and stepping foot onto the beach, he would sink into the Earth due to his immense foot pressure," Roper explains. "His bones and cartilage would give out under his weight and his body slamming against the ground would be the extent of his destruction."

And gravity isn't the only obstacle a real-life Godzilla would face, according to the video. Getting enough to eat would be a big challenge for animal that requires some 215 million calories a day.

Consider: a single human body might provide about 110,000 calories, which means Godzilla would have to eat 1,950 of us a day just to keep the weight on.

Godzilla feeds on radiation and is also a nuclear reactor so I doubt he needs to eat like an actual animal.

The hanging above water thing is just a Kaiju movie thing. Maybe he’s doing like a crocodile and keeping himself above water with his tail.

He’s also blowing a giant beam of radioactive lasers out his rear end in that picture which propels him upward.

Do you find something comical about my appearance when I'm driving my automobile?
In a city of 10 million people, Godzilla would have enough food for 14 years or so.

Assuming he eats 1950 people per day, nobody leaves, and no new humans enter or are born.

Granted, he has a tendency to destroy their domiciles, so there's bound to be collateral damage caused by his snacking, so we'll need to factor in how many humans are rendered inedible, whether by contamination, or because Godzilla can't get to them for whatever reason.

As far as I can remember Godzilla is not depicted as even carnivorous, he obviously has sharp teeth and binocular vision like any carnivore but seems to have evolved/mutated beyond it. He certainly don't eat his enemies. In the 54 film, when Godzilla appears over the hill, he was originally meant to have a cow in his mouth but the effect was changed. He just wants nuclear power.

Basically, Godzilla is vegan.

If the Monsterverse continues after Kong vs Godzilla I want to see more stuff in the 70s and 80s as Monarch goes on adventures to the center of the earth to find certain titans.

Anyone have any hints or secret methods for attaching the tail on a NECA Godzilla figure? The ball and socket joint will not snap in and in the meantime, Godzilla's loving spikes are shredding the poo poo out of my fingers.

Also, thanks NECA for making an awesome looking Rodan figure whose wing-joint broke the first time it was moved.

Run both ends under hot water for a little bit to make the plastic more pliable.

Pretty sure they lampshaded it in Godzilla 2014 too, some throwaway line from a Monarch scientist about how kaiju shouldn't be possible but now they have to redefine what's possible.
