      Yeah, for me it was meant to be a bit of an open ending, wit ha slight bias towards kong. Maybe he did win, maybe he only won the battle, maybe he is high tailing after Godzilla mistook him for dead, maybe they just got tired and bored. If there isn't a body, you can't trust movie makers like that.

      ​@@lutherheggs451 First off, learn wtf is whataboutism. You don't know what it is. No, you fucking don't, don't even try to say you do, it is offensively clear you don't. Just tossing buzzwords you think are strong doesn't reinforce your "point", it just shows you're trying to pull a thought terminating cliche and you aren't good at it either.
      Second. Nice of you to go all aggressive and insulting to make a "point" out of the blue. Almost sounds like you think being assertive makes things true and and an argument. It doesn't.
      Third, I don't give a fuck what Toho said OUTSIDE THE MOVIE. They can be as assertive as they want outside the movie and it still won't change what is in the movie. And what is in the movie isn't as definitive as they want to say, and as you for some reason have a strong emotional attachment to it being. Take your life insecurities to a therapist, we ain't your parents.
      Fourth, gtfo of the web and learn to talk with other people. It is okay to go outside, just keep your distance and wear a mask. Learn how to communicate like a half functional human, and then you're worth talking with.

      Ehhh... it's not the same thing, even though it seems like it is. In Japan, winning or losing is determined by if you accomplished the goal or not. It doesn't even matter to them if you're killed or not. What was Godzilla and Rodan's goal in "Monster Zero"? To expel Ghidorah from the earth. They accomplished that, so as far as the Japanese are concerned, Godzilla and Rodan won the battle.
      What was Kong's goal in "King Kong vs. Godzilla"? To beat Godzilla's ass and go home. Kong did one and is doing the other at the end of the movie, so he won. So, it's not a contradiction as far as Japanese sensibilities (which, of course, these films are made for) are concerned.

      What's funny is that in 1962 godzilla was weak to electricity and in 1974 it gave him powers, and it's the exact same version of the character.

      Godzilla being vulnerable to electricity would actually make sense, because as an aquatic creature, Godzilla’s skin probably contains a lot of moisture, which means it conducts electricity.

    It is kind of amusing how the new movie has some callbacks to this one. Like how this hints at an ancient battle between Godzilla and Kong, when that's a major plot point of the new one. There's a moment when Kong jams his axe handle down Godzilla's throat, which I found funny as a callback to the tree scene. You could even say that shocking Kong to restart his heart was a callback to the electrical powers in this movie. The new movie feels a lot like the "fun" era of kaiju films, where things didn't really have to make that much sense or be too serious, in the grand scheme of things the stakes in the new film are really low.

    I'd be interested to know your take on the Japanese cut over the American. The original cut's lack of the po-faced news scenes means there's more room for establishing the comedic characters so there's less of a juxtaposition. While you call the comedy "dated" it has an emphasis on manipulative advertising and short sighted corporate greed, which are pretty evergreen concepts.
    There's also language barrier stuff: Mr Tako's name means "Octopus" in Japanese. Just as he sends his two men to mess with the island, an actual giant octopus does the same thing. A little bit more of the dry but absurd Japanese humour they love so much.
