i know this for sure kong bows to no one
welcome to wanch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
godzilla versus kong
things you missed there can't be two
alpha titans
bernie you're not supposed to be in here
you ever wonder what we're really doing
here let them fight
for this list we're looking at the best
references to kaiju history and other
monster burst films
hidden in this titanic movie matchup if
you haven't seen the godzilla and kong
matchup movie
yet beware of massive spoilers ahead
what was your favorite godzilla vs kong
easter egg
let us know in the comments below number
10
kong doesn't have the best luck with
travel no way am i letting you dragon
halfway across the world using as a
weapon
no not as a weapon as an ally to protect
us
in several versions of king kong humans
bring him to a foreign land by knocking
him unconscious and putting him in
chains on a boat
although he's also initially knocked out
in the 2021 film
at least they were trying to bring him
home this time there's another great
reference to kong's travel methods when
they go to antarctica
how's kong with heights in one of the
sillier scenes in 1962's king kong vs
godzilla
they attached big yellow balloons to the
ape and gently towed him into battle
fortunately the 2021 version gave him a
little more respect by getting an entire
fleet of helicopters to carry him on a
giant net
although we're not sure this made kong
love travel we're sure he appreciated
the lack of embarrassing balloons
he's going prepare to launch everybody
to their station
number nine that's a lot of fish while
most critics might want to forget 1998's
godzilla
film it still contained a few memorable
scenes
we gotta get these manholes uncovered we
want them to smell the bait
when the humans want to lure the kaiju
in for a closer look they buy a couple
of fish
okay more than a couple all right let's
pile it on let's get out of here
[Music]
that's a lot of fish godzilla vs kong
appears to contain a reference to this
bizarrely memorable fish moment
a few minutes before godzilla attacks
kong grabs a quick snack
to our surprise it's another giant pile
of fish
even if that's the only food option
monarch had available for the ape his
diet would still be a hilarious
coincidence to the 1998 film maybe kong
and godzilla's fight could have been
avoided
had they hashed out their differences
over a sushi dinner
that's gross number eight the bad bats
return
we saw a lot of terrifying creatures in
the hollow earth but the ones that
scared us the most
were the bat turkey hybrids that we saw
in kong's ancestral home
unfortunately for the ape this isn't the
first time he's had to deal with batty
monstrosities
when jack tries to rescue anne from king
kong in the 2005 film
he has to sneak past a bunch of bats
although the creatures eventually wake
up
they don't devour the humans
come on the godzilla vs kong bats are
more ferocious
harder to look at and would have
definitely treated our heroes like
snacks if they got the chance
we'd rather take our chances with the
snake creature kong fat than a bunch of
these bats
number seven keeping kaiju on an island
was a good idea this time the habitat's
not gonna hold much longer
we need to start thinking about off-site
solutions the island is the one thing
that's kept him isolated if he leaves
godzilla will come for him
although we thought kong was roaming
free on his island when the movie began
he was actually confined to a dome
created by the monarch agency
and he's not exactly happy about it this
opening is almost identical to an older
monster
movie in 1968's destroy all monsters
the united nations science committee has
contained a group of titans within the
borders of an island
while on land all of the earth's
monsters have been collected
and are living together in a place
called monster land the monsters there
live in relative peace
until an alien race forces the kaiju to
leave the island
and wreak havoc across the globe
fortunately for monarch
kong never fell victim to any mind
control although their containment plan
never really backfired they were
compassionate enough to let kong off the
island in the end
number six mechagodzilla tried to use
godzilla's finishing move
godzilla showed absolutely no mercy to
the evil
massive unidentified terrestrial
organism or muto for short in the 2014
film
our favorite kaiju fired his atomic
breath into his enemy's mouth until it
stayed down
godzilla nearly found himself on the
receiving end of this brutal technique
after mechagodzilla comes out to play it
manages to pin down the organic original
right before it fires its massive laser
into godzilla's mouth
kong steps into the fray if it weren't
for the great apes interference
godzilla would have lost his life to his
own finishing move
number five a different hero defeats
mechagodzilla
the first time we saw the evil
mechanical kaiju was in 1974's godzilla
vs mechagodzilla
after teaming up with a giant guardian
named king caesar godzilla defeats his
mechanical enemy by knocking off the
robot's head
after cutting mechagodzilla down to size
kong makes sure to remove the robot's
head and throw it away like it was a
piece of garbage
we're not sure which movie's version of
the robotic kaiju's defeat is better
but we do know one thing for sure
mechagodzilla never comes out ahead
in either battle see what we did there
number four
bernie's podcast hints at mothra's fate
hello loyal listeners welcome to ttp
titan truth podcast episode number 245.
today is the day maybe the last podcast
i ever recorded
one of the best additions to the monster
verse was brian tyree henry's bernie
this character made exposition fun by
conveying vital information through
hilarious podcasts
you think it's a coincidence that he
reappears and just so happens to destroy
that specific facility no no no no
he even made time to reference dirty
dancing by saying no one puts godzilla
in a corner
although we loved all his podcast titles
we're most interested in number 244
mothra pregnancy theory mothra lost her
life in the king of the monsters
however the post-credits scene hinted
that she may have left an egg behind
bernie's podcast may give us further
insight as to when a new mothra might
hatch
now we just have to wait until his over
200 episodes are available in our world
i was wondering if i could invite you
onto my podcast to talk about the modern
facility in roswell
number three ren sarazawa's tragic link
to king of the monsters
mr sirizawa start your engines
the upgrade is untested once we get
online
kojiro will come straight for us ren
sarazawa was initially responsible for
controlling mechagodzilla's actions
but what could drive a person to pilot
that mechanical monstrosity
the answer may lie with his father ren's
dad
ishiro serezawa was a wise and
compassionate monarch scientist
he was known to drop wicked one-liners
let them fight
during godzilla king of the monsters
ishiro sacrificed his life to ensure
that godzilla would live to fight
another day
if ren blamed godzilla for his father's
passing then we understand why he'd
voluntarily pilot mechagodzilla
it's a shame that ren doesn't make it to
the end of the film we would have liked
to have seen him get a second chance to
follow in his father's footsteps
our power troubles will be over if they
can find the source
oh they'll find it i have faith in my
daughter
number two mecha godzilla's alien
origins
during 1974's godzilla vs mechagodzilla
we learned that the mechanical titan was
created by a shape-shifting alien race
although the 2021 version of the
character was built by humans
it still has an alien connection the
skull of one of godura's heads is inside
of mechagodzilla
there's one here another one inside of
that thing
it could be a sciatic interface in king
of the monsters
we learned that ghidorah wasn't born on
earth it tells of a great dragon who
fell from the stars
a hydra whose storm swallowed both men
and gods alike you mean an alien yes
so in an extremely roundabout way you
could say
mechagodzilla is still part alien we're
not sure why the 2021 film didn't follow
the original to a t
the 1974 mecha godzilla was built by
creatures who shapeshifted into green
apes and had ray guns and
okay on second thought the ghidorah
alien origin might be easier to digest

number one a different victor and we
believe that they have an ancient
rivalry
the myths say that their ancestors
fought each other in a great war so if
they meet again
who bounced the hoop is that it we all
tuned into the movie to see who would
win the title fight this was mainly
because of the somewhat ambiguous ending
to their last match up in the 1960s
during that battle the two titans fell
into the water although we didn't see
godzilla
kong looked victorious as he walked away
from the fight in the water
the 2021 film made sure there was no
question who the winner was their first
fight leaves kong catching his breath on
a boat
shut it down what all of it
although godzilla is ready for more he
chooses to swim away and fight
another day he later comes out on top
once more
in their third round grudge match sorry
kong fans but the title belt
definitively belongs to godzilla this
time around
