It was third year physics for me, and the professor opened with what was the paraphrased version of the above quote. One of the hardest classes we ever took. Very cool to see statistics used in a proof like that.
Godzilla is a metaphor (either intended or simply ingrained in the Japanese psyche) for Hiroshima and Nagasaki
King Kong is a “Beauty and the Beast” love story
They are from different eras and are important films in their own way.
But we end up getting this shite because monsters must fight monsters, apparently.
It’s all a load of fucking shit and devalues the importance of each movies. It should never have been made.
Anyway, I haven’t seen the movie but Godzilla would win. Atomic breath. Come on guys, the monkey’s dead meat that you can’t touch for a hundred thousand years.
Shin Godzilla was great for following the original idea behind the first movie. Also that version of Godzilla would kick King Kongs monkey ass every day of the week.

From what I’ve gathered, not quite. The film showed up around the time of the Castle Bravo tests at the Bikini Atoll. The bomb tested there turned out to be dirtier than predicted, and fallout made it to some Japanese fishing vessels. It became a bit of an international incident.
And then the original Gojira film launched. And one early scene showed a fishing boat, which went under in a bright flash of light.
Gojira, or Godzilla as he was westernised, was not just the personification of the bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it was the personification of the fact that this could happen again.
