Didn't the same movie have Godzilla blast a hole into the core of the planet? Mecha Godzilla's laser could overpower his atomic breath.https://forums.spacebattles.com/thr...21-vs-raijin-and-slattern-pacific-rim.995491/
they are seriously arguing for town level Kong when he tanked the entire gravitational force of the planet in the middle of the movie
the rest of the thread is actually worse
like damn Pacific Rim is one of my favorite movies of all time but they get fucking massacred by Kong lol

yeah there's also that. it's blatantly country or continent level no matter how you slice it, which is honestly very consistent with everything else we know about Monsterverse (Ghidorah creating cat 5 hurricanes all over the world just by flapping his wings, the tie in comics having Godzilla tank the Chicxulub asteroid or something etc)Didn't the same movie have Godzilla blast a hole into the core of the planet?

it's so weird. the best feat would be....Striker Eureka piercing Slattern who would go on to survive a small city level nuke? which doesn't scale to Gipsy Danger because Striker is flat out superior, and doesn't scale to Raiju in any way either?Like I said, they are putting WAY too much stock into Jaegars... because they must be similar to Mecha-Godzilla? Even though Mecha-Godzilla's is primarily from Ghidorah and the energy source is literally limitless compared to them?

it's just so weird because Monsterverse has made it super easy to follow these things. Like it really hands you the feats on a silver platter.
No, he’s not fought any kaiju in the ‘alien bioweapon’ sense. Meanwhile they have fought each other and know how to fight kaiju, as well as armed smart humanoids. Heck, before leaving skull island and fighting G and Mecha G he’d only fought skullcrawlers- not even close to comparable! The physical anatomy of Raijin is not particularly similar to his foes. They’ve fought things more similar to him than vice versa, and just have far more combats period.
Whip tails, absorption, electric bite, he’s faced none of these abilities before. They have faced blades wielded by bipeds before.
And again, just looking how they *actually fight*. Kong is talented but sloppy and makes a lot of mistakes like getting his axe stuck, ignoring Godzilla to focus on getting the axe out, just standing and eating the occasional frontal charge he could’ve dodged, and the kaiju do have some nice skill feats and various tactics and there’s two of them so if *he* makes a mistake, either can exploit it, while if one of them do, the other can cover.
His punches and blows really aren’t anything out of line with PR. Raijin’s charged slap especially will not have trouble competing, but even a shoulder check sent a jaeger through 3 buildings casually- these are strong kaiju. Cat 5s aren’t like cat 4s, they’re a very solid physical step above everything else in PR, which is why so much effort was put into keeping Raijin at a distance.
- And because they can knock Jaegar's around, they somehow outpunch Kong... despite M.Godzilla is the same size as Godzilla, which TvTropes(and the movie) has at: The opening credits give us numbers for Godzilla: he's 393 feet tall and weighs 164,000 tons
Pacific Rim kaiju are actually consistently kinda goofy with how they fight
like they multiple times abandoned their original goals if another target showed up, even though it would be easy to finish goal 1 off then fight the interloper
also they scaled Kong's axe to.... Godzilla slicing boats....when not only is it made of the same material that would tank the gravity as all kaiju do, it absorbs Godzilla's blast point blank. They probably try to attribute the last one purely to energy absorbtion abilities or something but there's no way around the first one
The uncharged axe's only cutting feat is an indirect one via Godzilla's dorsal plates slicing through warships, which are orders of magnitude less durable than the kaiju.
Kong's punches will just feed Raijin while Slattern pokes holes in him with his tails. Given how threatened he was from Mecha's tail threatening to do this to Kong's face, a few good hits, perhaps gouging an eye out, would do him in.
how the fuck are they actually raigening Pacific Rim of all things
just take the L
every series does, to something else smh
Kong’s punches hold about a kiloton of force each, going off of the official statements of his punches being equal to a Richter scale 4.2 earthquake. He’s stupidly strong, even disregarding his ability to knock over the million-ton Mechagodzilla.
I wont Kong to win, I really do. He's my favorite kaiju, in pretty much any of his incarnations.
But he's not going to. Just comparing Kong's durability to that of a lower level kaiju, one bleeds to helicopter blades and machinegun fire. The other survived a substantial military force focused on him for days, forcing the military to resort to a tactical nuke to stop him.
Now Kong is up against not one, but two kaiju, and not the lower level ones, but two of the bigger and more powerful ones.
Kong's speed and agility probably means he lasts for a while, but ultimately they are powerful enough to hurt him and durable enough that he will have a hard time hurting them, much less taking them down.
the machine gun fire thing is insane because Kong is straight up like 3x bigger than he was in Skull Island and obviously much stronger by his GvK feats alone. that's so disingenuous to try and use that against him lmao
Also the tactical nuke killed Trespasser so again, it can't really be scaled. The best you can do is give Slattern small city level dura for surviving the nuke, which is absolute shit to Kong. Godzilla survives a megaton nuke at the end of G2014 anyways and Kong's axe can still harm him, so there's no way to lowball Kong to town level.
They're taking the 4.2 earthquake punch thing over shit he actually survives on screen lmao
