How Godzilla v King Kong could be done!

I could dig it, nice twist Gavin!

I still want Kong to be up to scale with Godzilla. We are talking about giant monsters. How much plausibility do you really need. Does no one remember the term "suspension of disbelief?"

So are we confirming Godzilla vs King Kong or are just spitballing here?

It just seems very un-realistic, but you never know.

^Wait, what does? A 15 meter Kong fighting a 108 meter Godzilla, or them both being the same size?

A 50ft tall ape - even at his utter best - would be hard-pressed to even draw blood on Godzilla. Consider how much thrashing Godzilla took from the MUTOs before finally destroying them both and passing out from over exertion. Another aspect that should be carefully weighed is the issue of character portrayal. If Godzilla gets even a single hit on the fragile ape, that is the end of the story. Thus, Kong would have to be given an incredible array of lucky breaks and tactical advantages while Godzilla would need to be portrayed as a lumbering, dimwitted oaf with no sense of strategy for dealing with smaller foes. It would heavily favor one character over the other by necessity - the one with the far weaker fan base. Now, if Kong is increased in size, that is a different story - one which I would be more ready to accept in the long run.

I'm with KingKaijuGojira,
Just upscale Kong. He doesn't even have to be as big as Godzilla, (also like the '62 film, where he was still smaller) just large enough to take him on. The male MUTO was smaller and still gave Godzilla trouble.

This is a suspension of disbelief I think general audiences can handle. Most people complaining about the size differences are those that are too close to the source material. Kong has actually yo-yo-ed in size plenty over the years.

He was 15.2 meters in 1933. In King Kong vs. Godzilla he was 45 meters. In King Kong Escapes he went back down to 20 meters. In the 1976 remake he was 12 meters and, for whatever reason, Peter Jackson's Kong was actually the smallest at 8 meters tall.

The point is his height is changed so often that there is no set size. I'd personally buy an 80 meter Kong taking on Godzilla.

And for the record King Kong vs. Godzilla isn't technically a B-Movie, which is an often misused label. That termanology is used to classify low budget films that are under-publicized and often misused to refer to anything campy. King Kong vs. Godzilla was one of the more expensive movies coming out of Japan at the time and was heavily publicized both there and over the pond. It should be remembered as such.

Thank you Gman2887. I agree with you and Something Real. It makes no sense to have a tiny Kong fight a normal sized Godzilla

I had an idea (based off a theory I read) that could possibly give a good explanation on how a Godzilla-sized King Kong could be possible. Like Godzilla in the new series, what if Kong is an ancient species of ape that due to the excess radiation grew to massive sizes. Maybe they survived all the mass extinctions, but grew smaller as a result, adapting to new conditions. Then as time goes one, they can’t adapt fast enough and start to die out, but still keeping their ability to absorb radiation. By the events of Kong: Skull Island, there are only a few left, living on Skull Island. And during or after Skull Island one or all of the apes find a massive source of radiation, growing again to their try size, able to confront Godzilla himself.

If you find any wrong with this theory, let me know and I’ll revise my theory.

While your theory makes sense Gojira2K, You need to take into account how fast Kong would grow or shrink over the countless millennia. The size change you described would take several generations to complete. You can't just have suddenly shrink and/or grow just like that. When you take this into account, your theory isn't as plausable. But it is still a good theory.

All in all, have Kong be only a fraction of Godzilla's size would be unfair to both characters. It wouldn't do either franchise justice.

KingKaijuGojira: right, but Skull Island takes place in 1971, 47 years in between its time and Godzilla 2. They can have him grow larger from the excess radiation during the 47 year span, it doesn't have to be overnight. Just a thought. 

KingKaijuGojira, you have a very valid point. It’s possible that Kong: Skull Island, takes place a few years after Monarch was founded. That would be sometime in the 50’s. That gives them a little under 70 years for the growth to happen. I don’t know if that’s long enough for Kong to grow that big, but it could possibly get him close. Again, I don’t know how much Kong could grow in 70 years. But if it got him close, we could see a very interesting battle between them.
