    The writers of Godzilla vs. Kong have displayed great intelligence by giving Kong a weapon, evening an otherwise one-sided fight. I continue to monitor the situation with interest.

      Like it does still leave the risk of godzilla just ripping a atomic breath on king kong but it has made this a more competitive match for sure

        Any close analysis of the Godzilla vs. Kong trailer would reveal that Kong is shown deflecting atomic breath with the weapon.

          while i see no evidence of the material composition of the weapon i will agree that mr kong would be able to hold some kind of pure lead weapon for this combat

            Speculation by top experts suggests that the axe is made from a section of Godzilla spine, which is a key part of his ability to channel his atomic breath.

            I believe the weapon may be magic? we need more research into the field of Monkey Magic

    This whole meme that’s going around has got to be a viral marketing campaign for a movie I would otherwise never care about or see

        I hate to be a killjoy but I’ve just never really “got” the appeal of monster movies, I’m just not that into monsters duking it out as the core feature of the film. I like niche movies and I like mainstream movies but this and horror just aren’t really genres I’m super into.

          That's ok. We can like different things. I enjoy the cerebral kaiju movies for their metaphor and the action ones for their big fights. I like all the special effects.

          I've never watched a single monster movie but I can't wait to see a massive monke fight a radioactive shrimp

              Godzilla is not real. He is a fictional creature created by movie special effects artists. Traditionally, he is portrayed by a human being in a monster suit, made of rubber or similar material. Because there is a human being in the suit (and humans usually have thumbs), Godzilla has had thumbs since the very beginning.

                  Again, more misinformation on the nature of Godzilla. In no media is he a lizard. Occasionally, he is depicted as a mutated dinosaur - which would make him definitively Not A Lizard. In other iterations, he is of much murkier origin, possibly predating lizards or reptiles or even animal life as we know it entirely, suggesting a separate origin as a fundamentally distinct form of antediluvian life. In Shin Godzilla, he is a colonial being comprised of an ever-evolving mass of microorganisms. Never has he had any of the typical features of lizards or other squamates: splayed legs, scales, quadripedalism, inability to feed off of radioactive materials.

                  I'm tired of Big Monke's lies.

    leaving aside the power level difference, why would they even fight in the first place?

      their agents set up the match, they're booked to fight

        I now unironically hope that's the plot

        two animals that would otherwise have nothing to do with each other, forced to fight in a contrived spectacle for our entertainment

        or is that too meta?
