How can there be a King Kong versus Godzilla movie?

David and Goliath?

Because money.
Like those alien vs predator, or freddy vs jason movies.

Godzilla is a lot more massive in size compared to King Kong so how is this possible

You’ve never seen Bambi Meets Godzilla ?

I saw them battle when I was in third grade. They’re the same height.

Also, there is no way that stupid monke can survive Godzilla’s atomic laser.

Godzilla’s height varies from movie to movie—from 200 or so to 600 feet, King Kong is only about fifty in his original movie and most remakes.

In the movie @filmfann mentions, Godzilla is still somewhat bigger but yea, they are about the same height in that one.

I wish they’d stop letting the monkey win. No chance in Hell. Godzilla is not only 5–10x bigger, but has ferocious teeth and claws, and that radioactive fire he expels, when ravaging a city, is roughly a nuclear holocaust. The poor fifty foot Joe Mighty would be in radioactive cinders.

Wasn’t there already at least one Japanese King Kong vs. Godzilla movie made?

Dumb and/or careless writers, production companies, viewers and reviewers, it seems to me.

Same way we got Disney “Star Wars” films that are full of constant utterly nonsensical BS, yet there are still fans of those somehow.

I think there were two. King King vs Godzilla and Godzilla vs. King Kong.

When King Kong has to fight Godzilla in the movies, they always make him much bigger than he really is, and Godzilla smaller and less lethal.

I’d have a hard time believing that what is in essence a 300+++ feet tall Tyranosaurus with a nuclear-blue fiery death weapon that could devastate Tokyo like Hiroshima would lose to a 50 foot ape.

Having Komg fight Dinosaurs is a possibility, but Godzilla or Rodan or any of the rest? No.

In one of the King Kong vs Godzilla movies, Godzilla’s death ray and lightning would make King Kong stronger, and Godzilla was vulnerable to lightening.

Let’s stop fudging in the Monkey’s favor—I agree with @filmfann that the Godzilla vs Bambi approach would be best for a Godzilla vs. King Kong film.,

In movies, anything to rake in profits. Any…thing.

@Zaku Yes every SW films clearly suck to the hilt except the OT, Rogue One and Solo.

Only the OT, and of that, only the first 2.

Just can’t keep a good ape Down!

@mazingerz88 Solo sucked too. Worst of them all, imho.

@filmfann Lucas with his prequels, Abrams and Johnson lowered the bar so much I thought Kasdan and son did a decent enough job. And Rogue One.

@mazingerz88 My dislike of Solo is the awful direction by the most over-rated director of our time: Ron Howard. Almost all his films seem plastic and formulaic. Potentially great scenes (like the train robbery) drown because there is no emotional connection with the audience.

@filmfann That made me check his filmography. Just found out which ones will always be my favorite Howard films. Splash, Night Shift and Frost/Nixon.

Disney has no filter for continuity, nor for making any sense, and neither do Abrams or Johnson.

I like the final act of Rogue One, and the earlier parts at least aren’t complete nonsense like the Disney sequels.

Solo had some ok aspects, but was really poorly thought out, and the more you think about it, the less countless details of its story are plausible. Every thing we’d ever heard in previous films about Han Solo’s past gets a treatment that is painfully deliberately forced into the short span of the film, and mostly in ways that make little or no sense, and/or are pointless. And what they dreamed up for what “the Kessel Run” was, I could rant for hours about how it makes no sense and would never exist the way it was shown.

^^Will always baffle me why with all its money Disney with its SW franchise and DC with its crap Snyder superhero movies couldn’t seem to hire the right producers, writers and directors for those projects.

@mazingerz88 ^ Absolutely agree.

Having heard quite a few people in Hollywood, including screenwriters and other “pitch-ers” of film and game ideas, I think it’s their bubble culture of focusing on enrolling each other in exciting-sounding ideas that are all about the cool-sounding pitch and nothing about how it’s going to be intelligently-done or make sense.

^^Bubble culture. There it is. My disappointment with Abrams stems from the fact he probably didn’t ask a good enough number of older SW fans for some insight.

After the failure of the prequels someone who now has the enormous responsibility of getting things right might have thought gee I better ask as many fans as to what ideas would work or not. I feel Singer made the same tragic mistake with his Superman film, a misfire which eventually led to an even bigger disaster, Snyder’s MOS. For some reason execs at WB thought Snyder was smart enough to know what to do to avoid Singer’s mistakes.

But back to Abrams. If I was his greenlighter and got the chance to read his treatment I would have asked him for another. lol
