![]() It takes depth charges detonated all around for Godzilla to release his grasp. In their first battle, Godzilla drags Kong underwater, threatening to drown him, and Kong's frantic struggles for breath can drive home a major case of thalassophobia for those with a fear of drowning.It's no wonder Mark is so scared of Godzilla going rogue. The truly terrifying thing is that all that was an afterthought for Godzilla - he was trying to get Kong, and they were just in the way after Kong briefly gets the upper hand, in his mind, Kong must be incapacitated, or even killed, and it doesn't matter how many humans are slain for him to achieve his goal. Only quick thinking on Lind and Andrews' part get him to back off by making him think they weren't a threat any more. Here, frigates, Aegis cruisers, an Iowa-class battleship and F-35 fighters all fall in terrifyingly quick succession while missiles, depth charges and battleship main gun rounds all bounce off him. In real life, that'd be enough firepower to end a conflict just by threatening to show up. How utterly unstoppable Godzilla is against the US Navy battle group escorting Kong.Godzilla's rampage in civilian areas (that clearly have not been evacuated) in general is terrifying, a deliberate reminder despite being generally considered a hero for the most part, this Godzilla is a walking natural disaster when provoked just like his villainous (or at the very least antagonistic) Japanese counterparts. Now that the MUTOs and King Ghidorah are gone, there's literally no other Titan that can ever challenge him. The King of the Monsters has travelled all over the world leaving ruin in his wake. Godzilla going on a rampage is the worst-case scenario for humanity.If Ghidorah hadn't been stopped, then what's happened to Skull Island in this movie could've been the fate of every landmass on Earth, even without the other Titans speeding up the destruction. Now let's backtrack to Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019). Thanks to Camazotz's actions in the graphic novel Kingdom Kong, Skull Island is permanently enveloped in a Perpetual Storm made from the island's own storm barrier and a leftover superstorm of Ghidorah by the movie's start, it's wiped out all the humans on the island sans Monarch and Jia, every beast big enough to compromise the bio-dome is implicitly gone, and it's likely (outright confirmed in the novelization) that all the remaining plant life and any remaining fauna is condemned to die and fade away slowly amidst the new conditions note The island's trees visibly haven't died off yet, even though it's been one to three years since the storm settled over the island.Like some animals of the same species, these giant monsters regard each other as rivals intruding on their territory, and for them, that’s enough to justify a showdown. When Godzilla battled monsters like Hedorah, Megalon, Gigan, Ebirah, and more, these fights happened simply because they were in his vicinity, not because Godzilla was looking to protect Tokyo. In fact, Godzilla hit Kong with his atomic breath without provocation in King Kong vs. The two Titans fighting each other for such simple reason wouldn’t be unlike what Toho did with Godzilla and his fellow kaiju in the past. If the fight starts on Skull Island – which seems likely – Kong will simply be defending his territory, while Godzilla may feel that as King of the Monsters, the whole planet is his territory. Plus, there’s the issue of where the fight takes place. After all, they’re both incredibly powerful Titans who believe they can’t be matched. Fighting each other may be a natural instinct that comes to them at the moment they first meet. Kong doesn’t have to carefully weave a story where one of the two characters is strongly motivated to fight the other ala Batman v. ![]()
