Theories on the potential Heisei Kong

[GodzillaDude]

Now (most of us) know that the plan was originally to have a remake of King Kong vs. Godzilla entitled Godzilla vs. King Kong in the Heisei series but we ended up getting Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (to much money was asked for the use of Kong's character) but my question is what do you guys think Kong would have been like in the Heisei series? Godzilla certainly had changed since their Showa film together so what are your theories on what Kong would have been like? Would he keep the behavior and attitude he had in the original versus film and just changed the suit or would he have been darker and more menacing?

[FlamingZilla23]

Big,fat,and ugly. Maybe even more ugly. He would probably would look like an updated version of king kong 1962 version.

[Sydney Aradi]

Very, very fat, big & perhaps ugly looking as well and he probably would've been spamming electrcity from his hands as well

[heiseiGfan]

I would say probably darker and more menacing. The whole heisei series had a dark tone throughout its entirety. Definitely would've been an awesome clash but probably with a twist to it with godzilla killing Kong. In the showa version it was pretty much a popularity battle. At the time Kong was more popular than godzilla but by the 90's, godzilla was as popular as Kong and might have even surpassed Kong's popularity.

Completely stupid, I really hate when people compare the two. They aren't even near the same size scale, even then he would die in one Heisei Godzilla blast.

You do realize that if they made a Hesei Kong, he would be scaled to Godzilla's size, right? It'd be completely stupid and unfair to Kong to have him be a teeny 50 foot ape taking on Godzilla. They gave him in advantage in 1962 by making him Godzilla's equal in size and power. If he was just a tiny little gorilla, that'd make for a really boring movie.

[Zentenk]

I do... and that is why it is stupid. King Kong isn't the size of Godzilla, and that is the way it is. He scaled up and down in the Showa film and that was real annoying.

[Megalon-5]

So? If you hate the fact that they scaled Kong to Godzilla's height, you must be [b]infuriated[\b] that they made Frankenstein gigantic.

[Goji]

No, it didn't.


I suspect a Heisei Kong would have looked more ape-like this time around, instead of some furry, orge-esqe humanoid. He would probably still would have had the power to conduct electricity, to give him some kind of weapon against Godzilla...though the Heisei Godzilla no longer had that weakness, so I'm not sure how they would have handled that.

Perhaps they would have given him Cadmium nails.

Good one.

Never watched it, I felt Frankenstein to be the most boring movie monster ever.

[Megalon-5]

How is Frankenstein's Monster "boring"? He's one of the greatest movie monsters of all time and has some terrific films under his belt. Dude, there's tons of monsters much more uninteresting than him.

[Dr. Nishiyama]

I imagine Kong would have force lightning shooting out of his hands as a beam weapon to confront Godzilla with. Not sure what scale Kong would be (would Godzilla stay 80 meters or get sized up to 100 meters for this one?) so I don't know how a 70 meter Kong would look holding a woman in the palm of his hand. I also think the Kong suit would be a lot better looking this time around.

But I'm glad Heisei Kong was never made. Fans would get pissed off if he won again and no one would be satisfied about the outcome being ambiguous or end in a draw. I personally think Kong should win in any fight with Godzilla (it makes sense for the smaller underdog to win against a bigger threat like Godzilla). Also, if the film was made in 1990 or 1991, I'm not sure how good Kawakita's effects would be. After Biollante and Gunhed, he got real lazy with everything. I think King Ghidorah (while one of my favorites) had the worst effects of the entire franchise, IMO

[Tyler]

I've always imagined it as something like Godzilla '89 vs. Kong '76.

^ Just add some Electric Properties in Kong and thats how it could of turn out.

Something they could of reuse in this movie to give Kong a slight advantage was the A.N.E.B.

Yeah. They never brought it up again in the series (I don't think they did). Maybe they could've had godzilla get immune to it during the final fight (I'm expecting more than one battle between the two monsters).

[Living Corpse]

The only guy who knew how to make ANEB was killed at the end of Biollante so no plot hole there. But they never used the bird call device from G1985 which IS a plot hole sense nothing happened to it. Why not use it again? They should have tried to use it again only for Godzilla to ignore it like he's learned or he's just not interested in it kinda of like a mating season kind of thing.

It'd at least would make sense to give a reason why they never used it again instead of just pretending they never used it.

True.
