Godzilla vs. Kong

would be awesome

I don't have to imagine it, I've seen lefties here do it constantly, but have never seen you open your mouth over it.

Cuz I'm nice: I will allow you to pretend you never saw it and that is why you aren't consistent.

It'll be something like "Monarch discovered after Kong's final fight with the Queen SkullCrawler that the source of the massive growth of Kong's race was hidden deep in the center of SKull Island, and got unearthed after that explosion, so Kong got dosed with much more concentrated batches of the stuff than his families muted exposure while he was "young" and it accelerated his growth way past the norm."

Especially with the

Spoiler:
possible reason Kong is chained up is because Monarch retrieved him from Skull Island after it blew up or sank.

Didn't Skull island confirm radiation or something was making him continue to increase in size?

It will almost certainly not be a good one. The handprint scene already ruins that by establishing Kong's not a giant among his species, so he must have incredible manlet strength or something.

Imagine not being able to put the politics down for even one thread. 😬

It's going to be something like extra radiation, a titan alpha thing where one has to grow to match the other, or similar. Not great, but we knew it was coming since Skull Island that Kong would have to grow a whole lot before he's even a threat to Godzilla.

He can't.

Possibly. I don't remember all the finer points of it and haven't watched it in quite some time.

I will accept:

1-radiation
2-local tribes used black magic to increase his powers so he was a more powerful protector

Or I guess if they reveal he is from krypton...

I hope they just go with the tried and true trope of "radiation" instead of some unknown elixir. as it's already established that radiation is good for titans.

So we all agreed? Kong's been drinking Nuke smoothies for the past 40+ years and had a growth spurt?

'Something, something radiation' is the most logical reason as it's already established in the lore.

How they plan to justify a species wiped out by mooks as a threat to Godzilla's kind is likely to be some sort of gargantuan asspull.

The trailer puts too many holes in this. The relative size of his species is one, but the apparent war in the past is another.

Maybe Kong wasn't the first one to figure out that Zilla's shed back plates as they grew or fought and they worked to block their beams and could presumably cut their flesh? (or whatever reason it is he has that axe)

Yeah, but Rob...this is hollywood. How often do they do the logical thing?

Poe Dameron: It's Palpatine!!! Somehow, he's back!!! -immediately moves on like that isn't the biggest news to hit the galaxy since he got killed the first time-

Star Wars: -doesn't explain how at all-

Also Star Wars: Yeah...this feels right.

i feel like if they want to somehow work magnetism into the equation that would be okay

"radiation plus earths magnetic field is making his ape muscles expand at an alarming rate"

And it was explained, with "Something, something, the dark side of the Force" 😛

I sill think Palpatine was added mid-way and that wasn't the original plan, why it all came together like one big messy turd.

That's pretty much exactly what happened. The original plot was called "Dual of the Fates" and went in an entirely different direction. They even had a mostly finished or fully finished script that you can still read online. Then they decided Rey wasn't special enough already and decided to make the entire Star Wars universe literally revolve around her butthole.

Something like this, radiation sandwiches, stuff along this line I'm cool with. I just hope we get something at least close and not wildly, stupidly off the mark like the Islanders faith in Kong made him grow.

The trailer is already poking holes in the best rationalizations available. It's like they've gone out of their way to make it impossible for this to make sense. If they'd not invented a new Kong/Goji war it would help, then they could just say Kong is the most specialest of his species to ever exist, leave out the handprint scene so at least people who didn't read the comics would be able to believe Kong's size wasn't hilariously inconsistent and call it a day. Radiation did it!

As is, each of these points sticks holes in the whole mess, and I guess I'm waiting for the movie to come out to find out the fully, horrifying truth of how badly this aspect of the movie is going to be handled.

Kong's species were still toddlers, statwise, it just doesn't add up. It'd be like giving a bunch of toddlers kitchen knives and asking them to fight grown adults. Kong also turns Godzilla all the way around with a punch in the trailer, which makes no sense with respect to the Ghidorah fights from KotM, either. I'm not expected to believe Kong is stronger than Ghidorah?

I get what you're saying. But we're trying here, man. This is the one chance to not f*ck it up, and we're just complaining on the internet, hoping our complaints will actually be stolen and used as the actual, sensible reason(as sensible as it can get) and not just something completely hot garbage.
