Edward's Godzilla as powerful as he was likely would have lost even quicker than Kong did to Dougherty/Wingard’s Godzilla.

Can't see the video. But if it's from Alteori or something, that is false info. Adam Wingard never said words like "50%".

Yeah it's false. It's just a video of some random guy saying bullshit. He pretends that what he's saying is from an actual interview, but the link he gives is the Tohokingdom interview which actually says nothing of the sort.vastatosaurus wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 2:38 amCan't see the video.

Re: Godzilla vs Kong novel: The differences between it and the movie
I was confused about which faction won the war. In Iwi myth, it is implied that their ancestors and Titanus Kongs, moved to Skull Island after their war with Titanus Gojira. While in Dominion, it is said that Titanus Kong drove Godzilla out from his original home. So......Which species won the war.
Aside from that, I also wanted to know if other Titans also join the war, or just Gojiras and Kongs.

I think he was grown just in his 2014 self. The MV has so many retcons but considering Dominion just came out they are really playing up the fusing with Mothra made Godzilla significantly more powerful.Showzilla wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 11:58 pmYeah, I was talking with a guy on YT who was so insistent that the kongs won that I had to ask him "if every source says they got driven out of HE and it took a troop of adult Kongs to drive off baby Godzilla, how could they win?"miguelnuva wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 11:50 pmThe Kongs drove Godzilla from Skull island is what it looked like and then Tiamat was just there.Showzilla wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 11:11 pm

Thanks for answering. Now I started to figure out the current timeline.
In distant past, two Titan species: Titanus Gojira and Titanus Kong had a great war for some reasons(Probably related to Hollow Earth Energy). Titanus Gojira turned out to be the winner of this great war. The Kongs moved to Skull Island.
(It is possible that other Titans might join the war, too. As a cave painting showed Mothra and Skull Crawlers along with Godzilla and Kong.)
Godzilla,a member of Titanus Gojira, once visited Skull Island after the great war, and was driven off by local Kongs.
Judge from the graphic novel and novelization, it is likely that Ghidorah's invasion happened after the “Gojira/Kong War.”
There's still one question left. In the ending credits of KOTM. It is implied that some ancient humans tried to use Titans as weapons
or tried to control Titans. Such blasphemy caused Titans to fight back. A war between Titans and human broke out.
I was thinking about the “Titan/Human War”.was the war the same one with “Gojira/Kong War”?

Out of curiosity, does it explain any thoughts or feelings Godzilla and Kong had during the final axe dropping scene before they part ways?

Re: Godzilla vs Kong novel: The differences between it and the movie
Nah, he probably wasn't. The Gojira-Kong feud happened a long time ago, even before Ghidorah arrived on Earth. Godzilla describes Kong's kind as an enemy more ancient than Ghidorah.miguelnuva wrote: ↑Wed Apr 14, 2021 12:39 amI think he was grown just in his 2014 self.

I don't believe so, no. If I recall, that scene is told from one of the humans' POV (I think Madison's?) Basically everything that happens in Hong Kong is from the humans' POV, with the sole exception of a paragraph from Mechagodzilla's POV (his first waking up).AWMGodzilla62 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 14, 2021 8:02 pm Out of curiosity, does it explain any thoughts or feelings Godzilla and Kong had during the final axe dropping scene before they part ways?
