So I was looking for examples of a fight where a reptile beats an ape...
Does this count?
But it was technically a draw, Godzilla probably swam back to his lair and Kong headed back to land. So no real winner.
Kong won last time in the 1962 movie
Even if it was obvious, the monke should've won.
Tokyo SOS no mosura, is better grammatically
I would post the written form but The website doesn’t like non English characters, and I can’t cheat the system.
beeg lizerd beat beeg monke weeth axe.

Without a doubt Godzilla won against Kong
I also think it's an introduction to Ghidorah's movie.
Thanks for the help in interpretation. I could not understand for a long time what this quote could mean too... I remembered this site https://freebooksummary.com/category/the-crucible-quotes, which often helped me understand the meaning of this or that phrase from any work. For example, there I found many quotes from The Crucible, and on the site, I also read their meaning. Try to search there and about Godzilla. Good luck!
Bandai figure based on the 2003 Mothra, I have the same figure.
its on yt, just scroll through it
"That being said i find it odd that he doesn't use his electric beam at any point during his fight between Godzilla and Jet Jaguar"
Now I have to rewatch this movie. I don't think I've ever noticed this--Granted I don't watch Megalon often.
Given Jet Jaguar made a recent return based on his popularity, and the new Kumonga were designed as an homage to Megalon, I think the chances of the monster's return aren't bad. Although the movie's reevaluation over the years is not one I agree with, the sort of cult status it has within the franchise doesn't seem to be lost on Toho. We'll see Megalon again at some point.
Also, if anybody has seen ape vs monster, tell me who wins, because I'm not willing to spend 2 hours watching a poor mockbuster film unless I'm really wanting to waste time.
SasquaDash valid point there.
Some of the humans make it out alive, but most of the time they survive by retreating and leaving the islands, which could count as being defeated.
I personally found him to be rather cool if odd-looking insectoid monster considering that he's a giant drill-handed rhino beetle who lives underground and is controlled by underground people (i.e. The Seatopians) who want to destroy humanity. Add to the fact that he appeared in one of the more goofy and nonsensical movies of the entire Godzilla series makes him even more iconic and unforgettable. That being said i find it odd that he doesn't use his electric beam at any point during his fight between Godzilla and Jet Jaguar considering that he used it when destroying those army tanks and buildings. Add to the fact that he was shown to be rather clueless and weak when it came to fighting makes him kinda pathetic even by kaiju standards. But other than that i don't mind Megalon at all and i hope that Toho would give him more screentime in a future movie.
what makes a mediocre human characters is a combination of acting and writing.
A quiet place 1 does an amazing job, there is little dialogue but the writing is still there and performances are outstanding. It’s not that writing was in there because it was. It’s just blended well
SasquaDash
You took the words out of my mouth, lol

Well in western crossover movies, there is a heavy dose of wanting to please both fanbases.
KaijuFan_6754
Valid point as well
sonictiger
I felt Ford acted perfectly for a military guy, that's just how military characters are supposed to be; stoic.
SasquaDash I guess you have a point, considering the reptiles are too much to handle for the primitive human race in the movies. Still, don't the humans always make it out alive, or at least have some sort of victory?
Just saying I don’t think the Japanese audience is too invested in American celebrities like Brown. So I don’t think your point is right, saying that she’s in it here would particularly work.
Honestly it lost a bit of steam in COVID era, most people I know didn’t really watch Wandavision, it was more like another one. Externals didn’t do so great either, but Shang Chi was AMAZING. I want to see more Asian inspired world building.
This is also an opportunity for me to plug what I consider the best movie of 2021, DUNE. Seriously love it, Villeneuve seems to actually have a grasp of the message of the book based on his comments and handling in the movie.
;)
At least when it comes to fan reception that is...
The top 3 2021 movies at the domestic box office are Marvel films. A fourth sits at #7. Three of these titles are also in the top 10 world wide lists for 2021. All of this and Spider-Man: No Way Home has yet to premiere and inevitably claim the top spot. Meanwhile, Hawkeye is getting rave reviews.
If the MCU is close to "franchise fatigue" no one is noticing.
And you guys completely ignored my point about how acting can elevate mediocre human characters. Any thoughts on that?
Also yeah, Godzilla was outnumbered so it wasn't fair.
OHNONONONONO hopefully no fatigue sets in
Yes, Godzilla won. He killed Kong but Kong was saved because hmmmmm, monke.
to be fair, Godzilla had two monsters attacking him at once in G14’
Technically you could argue that the scenes of dinosaurs eating people in the Jurassic Park/World movies could count as reptiles defeating primates.
Humans are classified as primates, and dinosaurs are classified as reptiles.
Godzilla technically did won the battle against Kong, Kong was just brought back to life to kill a Robot
I hope the MCU and Live Action Disney Remakes gets franchise fatigue because other more deserving movies need to shine
SonicTiger
I think that was due to the Muto's EMP ability messing with Godzilla's atomic fire breath
Xenotaris, yeah that was a bit strange and Godzilla seemed very nerfed in 2014 considering that he managed to get more hits in with Ghidorah.

You basically proved my point about that. Here's an example of my claim: Millie Bobby Brown managed to make a character who had mediocre writing into a really good character due to a performance that elevated a good chunk of her scenes. So yes, KOTM had good actors. But some of the characters were too far gone in the writing department to the point that acting couldn't save a bad character.
Considering how GVK is one of 2021's top grossers domestically, Legendary and WB will most likely be clamoring for Toho to work with them again.
Also on the Spider-Man bit this goes to show how studios are willing to do anything with money even though the MCU is getting dangerously close to suffering franchise fatigue.
