So this is the reason KING Kong fights Godzilla. I'd be pissed too if someone tried to steal my title.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Well, to be fair, Godzilla has been the King of the Monsters since 1956.

 

[Greg Cox]

Well, to be fair, Godzilla has been the King of the Monsters since 1956.

But Kong has been King since 1933.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

But then, there are a lot of Kings out there. Kong may be King of Skull Island, Godzilla is King of the Monsters.

I dunno, I don't like the idea of Godzilla and Kong being rival kings. That means they'd mostly just stand still and move one square at a time while their queens, knights, bishops, rooks, and pawns did all the work.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Hang on, I'll figure this out; Anguirus is definitely the pawn, the massive and solid Mechagodzilla would be the rook, Rodan is the knight, King Sheesar with his roots in Okinawan religion is probably the bishop, and Mothra is the queen.

While over on Kong's side, there's the slow-moving Giant Octopus, probably a pawn, the Mechani-Kong is the rook, Gorosaurus would be the knight, the Elasmosaurus is the bishop, leaving the Giant Spider as the queen.

 

[Christopher]

I dunno, I feel the pawns should be JSDF tanks and jets. They're the expendable ones, after all.

As for the second queen, other female kaiju include Biollante and Megaguirus -- plus there were a male and female Rodan in the original film, but you'd probably want those as the two knights.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Good points. I was trying to keep the second queen Kong-related, though.

How is Kumonga (Giant Spider) related to Kong? It only appeared in Son of Godzilla, Destroy All Monsters, and Final Wars.

Sorry, I wasn't specific enough. I didn't mean Kumonga, but the Giant Spider from the lost scene from the original King Kong.

Oh, I thought we were sticking to Toho's canon. If American Kong films are included, then how about Lady Kong from 1986's King Kong Lives?

What about Jet Jaguar? The whole theory falls apart without Jet Jaguar...

Well, ... this is embarrassing. Of course, she'd be the perfect queen.

What about Jet Jaguar? The whole theory falls apart without Jet Jaguar...

Okay, yeah, let's exchange Rodan for Jet Jaguar. He'd make a far better knight.

 

[publiusr]

So what's Biollante?

Fischer's attitude or Spassky's hair?

 

[Kai "the spy"]

It's official.

My initial thought was "Who the hell would name their child Krampus?"

 

[USS Firefly]

Isn't Krampus the father of Zeus????
