Godzilla won. Why the confusion?


Apes cannot swim. Apes drown in water. Their bodies, comprised of virtually all muscle sinks in water. Kong drowned. Godzilla lived

reply

Yeah, your points are valid in reality but in the FICTIONAL reality of the Godzilla francise King Kong won, Godzilla drowned.

reply

Lol. Godzilla drowned? That is ridiculous. He lives in the damn ocean.

reply

Godzilla is a sea type of monster he doesn't drown. The fight was a draw.

reply

Godzilla may have lived, but Kong kicked his big scaly ass.

Everyone knows Godzilla would really win. All King Kong did was come down from the mountains and get wasted on berry juice the natives gave him, while Godzilla has been destroying stuff for years. That's the beauty of this movie though, it doesn't seem to give a s***

reply

In this film's goofy reality, Kong walked back to his island. His feet probably touched the ocean floor the whole way. Or maybe he did drown, unless KING KONG ESCAPES is meant to be the same continuity.

I dont think King Kong Escapes is in this films continuity. In the beginning of the film while in the submarine, the crew members weren't sure if he even existed

King Kong won, and there should be no confusion, especially after 50 damn years. King Kong clearly swam away at the end, while Godzilla disappeared. The movie goes out of its way to show Kong is the winner, and Toho themselves stated that he was meant to be the winner in press releases. Kong was more popular at the time, and Godzilla was still seen as a villain, so it made sense for Kong to win, even though he was the less powerful combatant. Godzilla obviously still lived, since he appeared in the next film, but he lost the battle. There's no debating it anymore, even with all of these fan theories and refusals to accept canon.

Well, Kong is not a casual ape X)

People point out that Kong shouldn't be able to swim because he's a gorilla. True, but, then again, when was the last time you ever saw a gorilla absorb electricity and shock his foes with it? For that matter, when have you ever seen an octopus walk across dry land for great distances? It's frickin'SCIENCE FICTION! If you can't suspend your disbelief for a little over an hour, you take things WAAAAY too seriously.



Annoying the world since 1960!
