GO GO GO GODZILLA!!! When I was a kid watching the various Toho movies on stations like WOR in NYC on weekends or after school I was rooting for Godzilla to take down King Kong.

I saw this on Bob Wilkins when I was a kid.

King Kong vs Godzilla.

I forget who won. I think it was a tie.

I’m not watching it unless it’s in black and white and Japanese.

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he’s got to go go go Godzilla
Oh no, there goes Tokyo go go Godzilla

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men

“I was rooting for Godzilla to take down King Kong.”

Why were you rooting for the foreigner?

Seriously, as I understand it, they originally shot 2 endings for king kong vs godzilla. One in which king kong wins, for the american market. And the other where godzilla wins for the japan market.

Both King Kong and Godzilla have been around for a long time. They’ll probably have to use stunt doubles for some of the more physical scenes. Neither one can climb buildings, toss around boulders, or pick up train cars like they could in their younger days.

Y’know, Godzilla is a LOT bigger than Kong and has Atomic Death Breath to boot. If this battle was actually done “in scale” it would be a very short fight.
Sort of along the lines of Bambi vs. Godzilla:

In the King Kong movies, Kong was scaled to be around 25 feet tall, and was vulnerable to .30 cal machinegun fire from biplanes.

Godzilla, in the movies, was generally scaled as being about 100 meters tall. He could step on Kong and squish him like a bug. Godzilla was also invulnerable to repeated tank fire and artillery in all the movies.

Godzilla? Nah! Presumptuous to have “God” in your name. For that reason alone; I’m rooting for the “Kongster”!

Wonder how they will work a gun control agenda into that?

Godzilla is the shifty sort that might take a dive and Kong has a well-known weakness for women...

I wouldn’t bet on either.
