When it was reported that a possible King Kong vs. Godzilla film was in the works, many jokes started to surface regarding the size difference between the two. Some people said Godzilla would step on Kong without noticing, while others said that Godzilla would pick King Kong up with one hand and throw him to space. Pretty much everyone else who didn’t make jokes, pitied the “king.”
So, how can we fix this? How can we have a fight between the two (a fair fight), with both monsters at equal size? Here’s my take on all this.
A few days ago, Tom Hiddleston (who stars in Kong: Skull Island, confirmed that the film would be a period piece, and a rumored synopsis suggest that the film will take place some years after 1933. With that said, if this information turns out to be true, Kong: Skull Island will take place long before the events of the Godzilla 2014 film!
Now that we have the time difference out of the way, let’s get down to how we can fix the size (And no, it does not involve a mecha-suit)!
Whoever the main characters are in the film, they will go “Skull Island” in hopes to find a radioactive chemical. A chemical that can only be found on Skull Island and Skull Island alone. These scientist who venture there think that this chemical could be the cure to many diseases, make new medicines, and all that good science-y stuff! Even though they’re not quite sure what this chemical can do exactly, they don’t really care because they’re mad scientist, they just want to experiment on it!
“We're mad scientists. We’re monsters buddy, and we've got to own it. Make a stand.”
-Tony Stark In Avengers: Age of Ultron
So, they think this is going to be an easy trip. In and out. They grab it and go. However, while they’re on their adventure, they run into King Kong - who, at this time will be his original size. After this, Kong battles some dinosaurs, kills some humans, blah, blah, blah!
Just then, near the end of the film Kong battles something or someone. Military men, or more dinosaurs would do the trick. He could even battle Arnold Schwarzenegger for all I care! At this point, it doesn't matter! As he battling, he fighting near a DEEP crater. Something like the image seen below, but with many trees, and grass, and stuff around it.
And the bottom of this crater is filled with the radioactive chemicals that these scientist we’re looking for! Kong eventually falls into this crater, and supposedly dies. With a lot of people dead, the people withdraw (without the chemicals), and they never want to go to this island again.
*Credits roll*
AFTER CREDIT SCENE TIME!
The camera pans to the crater. A crater that was deep enough to stack over 25 King Kongs or more. Unexpectedly, a stupendously large gorilla hand reaches up and grabs the edge of the crater! Bam, fades to black!
These weird chemicals would be the cause of King Kong's transformation, and his dramatic increase in size! And that gorilla thought he had to avoid these “dangerous” chemical all those years! Kong eventually goes deep underground to harness radiation to survive (just as Godzilla and the Mutos did in Gareth Edwards’ film), and he never awakes or arises until the events of the Godzilla v. King Kong film.
What do you think? Do you think this would be a reasonable explanation for Kong’s sudden size increase? Would you be able to live with this scenario if it were to happen? If not, what ideas do YOU have? I would tell you all to sound off in the comment section, but I have a feeling you’re going to do it anyway.
