There needs to be a Kong-Rodan movie.

Post by Destoroyah of Worlds »

I can't put my finger on WHY, but i just LOVE the idea of a Kong-Rodan team up movie.

I have these mental images of Kong throwing trees at Rodan. And Rodan using his wind and dirty hit and run tactics on Kong.

Maybe after Kong kicks Rodan's butt, he becomes Rodan's alpha. The film could give us a new side to Kong, by giving him a his first friend and ally who is a kaiju. And it could also act as a redemption movie of sorts for Rodan since he was a villain last time and his actions lead to Mothra being killed.

From a studio perspective, a Rodan movie is less risky if Kong is also headlining it too.


Do you want to see a Kong-Rodan movie?

Now that you have described it I utterly love the idea lmao. Such a great dynamic potential, the warrior who doesn't gives up and the self serving jackass. Seeing them gradually warm up to each other and then team up in an unorthodox fashion would be glorious.

That would be cool

Added in 1 minute 24 seconds:
Varan and Megagurius as antagonists would be dope as well

It'd be interesting to see Rodan handle the gravity inversion flying around hollow earth. In a split second he'd go from climbing to falling towards the ceiling.

Absolutely. Honestly, that sounds even more interesting than if we somehow got a Godzilla-Rodan MV movie.

I would love that. It would also help to flesh out Rodan's personality like how Godzilla and Kong have been.

Do we really need this movie?

I don't see any scenario where these two meet or befriend each other. Kong is that damn emo kid that likes to be left alone. Rodan is the class dick.

I kinda prefer to see Kong interact with someone new to his lore. Rodan needs more reason to cross paths with Kong, and tbh I still think he needs to flesh out his interactions with Godzilla beyond “submits at the end”.
Reignited... and hopefully less weird this time around.

I'm a guy with simple interests. Mostly revolving around monsters blowing up entire cities.

Agreed with that too. It would honestly be cool to see Godzilla and Rodan forming a bit more of a friendly bond than "the king and his pet parrot". Or at the very least come to somewhat understand each other leading to working together in a better manner.

Rodan certainly needs to come back after not seeing any titans in GvK other than Kong and Godzilla. However this brings up a problem. How is Kong going to be able to withstand Rodan's fiery aura? Is he going to get another plot armor piece? Perhaps a shield made of the skeleton of Rodan's species? With a beak or talons for a make-shift weapon? It certainly would be cool to see Kong decked out in primitive warrior gear. No less crazy then a robot controlled by Ghidorah.

I think by adding Rodan to a Kong flick would certainly help and boost his popularity.

That way too by doing that, we could see if a solo Rodan film could work.

I Think this is a good strategy if there a idea for Rodan to have solo movie, people are more aware due to his part in this movie if it ever happens
