The Ultimate Battle: Weakest Version of Kong vs. Weakest Version of Godzilla

In the world of cinematic behemoths, two legendary monsters reign supreme—Godzilla and King Kong. Both are towering titans, each with a rich history and countless battles throughout time. However, when discussing the weakest versions of these two monsters, the question arises: Kong or Godzilla?

The Weakest Godzilla

Let's begin with the Weakest Godzilla. In 1998, a Godzilla appeard at an awe-inspiring 200 feet tall, 400 feet long, and weighed in at 80,000 tons. Compare that with the Weakest King Kong from 2005, standing at a mere 25 feet tall or about 35 feet when standing fully upright and weighing in at just 80 tons. Despite its meager build, the Godzilla remains a titanic powerhouse, far outmatching King Kong in terms of sheer size and mass.

No contest: definitely Godzilla simply because he’s literally 1,000 times more massive. Yet, there's one version of Godzilla that challenges this assumption—Godzilla from the Marvel Comics miniseries in the 1970s. This version of Godzilla was shrunken down to an almost unrecognizable size, making him far less formidable.

The Weakest King Kong

The weakest King Kong comes from the original 1933 film, where Kong is just 5 tons and approximately 25 feet tall. Despite his diminutive size, this version of King Kong still managed to beat an elephant-sized gorilla, showcasing an incredible amount of strength and resilience. To put that into perspective, 5 tons is the equivalent of a fully loaded truck, and just standing 25 feet tall, he managed to hold his own against other formidable opponents in the film.

No contest: the weakest King Kong could still hold its own against the weakest Godzilla, but the shrunk Godzilla from the 1970s Marvel Comics miniseries represents an even weaker version.

The Shrunk Godzilla of 1954

There's one particular version of Godzilla that warrants special mention—the Godzilla from the 1970s Marvel comic book miniseries, which shrank him down to a size where he resembled a giant Prehistoric beast. Shrunk to a size where he barely takes up a square inch, this version of Godzilla would be easily outmatched by any version of Kong.

The King Kong from 1933, in particular, would have an easy victory over this miniature Godzilla. Kong's resilience and strength would make short work of a shrunken foe that's barely a threat.

A Radioactive Standoff

Godzilla is not just a giant dinosaur; he's a radioactive monster. His radioactive properties give him an almost invincible status. If we consider a scenario where Godzilla loses his radioactivity, he becomes a massive, but relatively vulnerable creature. In this scenario, King Kong might emerge victorious due to his sheer strength and endurance.

Much like the Hulk, whose gamma radiation makes him an unstoppable force, take away that radiation, and his strength diminishes significantly. The same principle applies to Godzilla. Without his radioactive properties, his size and strength would make him comparable to a large dinosaur. In this case, a normal dinosaur would likely defeat him, but Kong’s size and strength alone would give him an advantage.

The Final Verdict

With the weakest version of Godzilla from the 1970s Marvel Comics miniseries in mind, the King Kong from 1933 would undoubtedly be the victor. Again, feel free to disagree with me, as this is a subject of debate and speculation, but the evidence points to Kong's superior size and strength triumphing over even the most diminished Godzilla.

Conclusion: King Kong from the 1933 film wins, hands down. Feel free to disagree, but rest assured that the evidence strongly supports this conclusion.
