[@GunlessSnake]

I envision that Godzilla, prior to losing to the Rival, never thought much of the Great Apes. They were "inferior to his kind" and by extension himself, but not a threat to the Gojira species' reign. And then Godzilla lost his original lair in a humiliating defeat. I like to headcanon that it was this loss that motivated him to never again feel "weak" or ever experience a loss like that again, which put him on a path of self-improvement that would ultimately enable him to become the strongest member of his species, preparing him for the Great Titan War and the invasion by Ghidorah. But Godzilla never got over the Rival, and being denied a final comeuppance must've left a very sour mood. Kong in particular is likely very reminiscent of the Rival to Godzilla given his size and strength, but now the roles are reversed where Godzilla is the larger, older, and more dominant one who overwhelmed the smaller, younger, and weaker Alpha Titan. So in a way, fighting Kong was basically a bit of catharsis for Godzilla, hence why he didn't immediately finish him off and often flexed his superior strength on him. And when Kong brought down the overcharged axe and temporarily floored Godzilla, it reminded him of that humiliating defeat from so long ago and sent him into a pure rage at the thought of ever being humbled by an inferior ape ever again.

[@goldgamercommenting2990]

That was I was as imagining I could also imagine the rival holding not an axe or weapon, but a tree. If you know what I mean then you know how the battle went Yeahhh Godzilla wasn’t happy about the “eat your veggies” move. No wonder he tried to blast kong with atomic breath after king did that same exact thing again. (Little known fact, the part where Kong shoved the axe down Godzilla’s mouth is actually synchronized in timing with the scene where King Kong shoved a tree down Godzilla’s mouth all they way in the year 1962. If you don’t believe me, try to match the footage and audio side by side with the scene from gvk and kkvg. I’ve done it as an experiment and it was delightful)

I have a theory that The Rival was one of Skar King's generals gone rogue and wanted to have his own throne. Also, "The One Who Ate a Star" would imply that Godzilla didn't always had his Atomic Breath. The loss of this confrontation is what prompted him to constantly evolve and eventuallybecome the most powerful Titan on the planet, starting with eating Hollow Earth energy and gaining the ability to weaponize his atomic energy. That's my best guess as to how a young Godzilla was easily defeated, which would also be a callback to the character's 1954 origin that also imply he didn't had a heat ray until the H-bomb granted his the ability.

[@Godzilla_in_helll]

[@goldentyrant4822]

Honestly some I feel like the excuse that Godzilla was young doesn’t change the fact he still had some amazing feats for his age. As from what I’m guessing time wise this happened after the Godzilla and Kong wars in which Godzilla trapped Skar king and his army. As it would be weird that he was kicked out of his home and risk being caught by the same titan that kicked him out. Plus we also know that this young Godzilla fought shimo and also fought ghidorah. Basically despite how young Godzilla was, he was still a skilled and capable fighter which also shows how skilled the rival is too. My best guess why Godzilla wanted the rematch is due to him now having a size advantage as Godzilla also dwarfs all the kong & great apes in weight and in height. As in 2014/monarch legacy of monsters he was 351 ft tall and weighed 90 tons which if the rival is similar in size to Kong now the rival would be 337 ft tall and weight (no idea as there is no clear source all is speculation but probably 60-80 ton range). So after kotm he would have gotten a weight of 95 tons and a height of 395 ft. So after gaining some weight and getting much taller he probably thought he stood a better chance. Plus Godzilla then from kotm onwards Godzilla would gain a lot of weight but stay the same height as in GxK and GvK he is 164 tons (even after evolving).

This theory could actually help explain why Godzilla killed Tiamat in Godzilla X Kong. Godzilla saw what Tiamat did to the rival and thought next time Tiamat is not getting away.

[@ethanvu2430]

The Rival was probably old by the time Tiamat murdered him to be honest

[@zachm56gaming30]

You just can tell the level of SALT in godzillas roar when he was going for that rematch Godzilla: i am the KING of monsters The rival: ima end this kid's whole career

[@akmalhafiz8763]

We should acknowledge that as much as Godzilla can beat Kong, so does Kong can beat Godzilla. It's one of the reasons why both species are at war in the first place. It's not a war when one side is basically sweeping the floor with the other. That's a massacre.

[@haduk-ura1611]

I bet the G-Man was feeling pretty good about himself after taking out Tiamat cause if she could kill the Rival, he absolutely could in his current state. That aside, Godzilla getting bullied by a Great Ape is one of the greatest feats of the entire Monsterverse. And call this headcanon if you want, but I feel like Kong one upping Godzilla in Hong Kong is what got him the overkill beating at the end of the fight. The G-Man was like, "Nope. I'm not about to do this again. The gloves are coming off, and the belt is coming out."

I’ve thought that the Rival figured out a weakness for Goji and used it against him or had one of the first kongs who used the goji axe and Godzilla (being young) would have no idea how it worked, got beaten by the new found weapon

The 3D simulations that you have now look way better than the 2D simulations from before. They really help give me the idea to imagine how Godzilla's history in the Monsterverse had happened as a flashback scene.

[@davidostapenko2578]

What could've be nicely consistent is that if the "Rival" was Skar King all along, and that this skeleton could've be something else...

[@andrewgeorgecomeau4066]

It shouldn't be that much of a shock that Gojis biggest rival ,outside of Ghidora, is one of Kongs people. Kong himself is really the only challenge he's faced since he killed Ghidora .Give Kong a couple hundred years to get even more XP and Hollow Earth radiation and even Godzilla would have to have a damned good reason before fighting him.

[@Darkphoton05]

What if 1. Rival and Kong meet each other 2. Rival and Kong can beat godzilla?? 3. Rival got beast glove and axe??

[@metsuryuogikai4907]

As a Gojira fanguy.... I actually like that Godzilla was humbled in this fight. I can see if Godzilla was a smug teen ( or young adult) thinking he's the top of the power chain, only for him to get home invaded, beat up and kicked out... this would add another layer to his hatred for Kong and his kind. I only wish we could see these battles play out on screen in a movie or series.

[@Variedbattles]

It all makes perfect sense. 1 on 1, theres NO chance any ape titan would beat the same godzilla who battled skars army, or ghidorah. Godzilla was most definitely younger and weaker when he battled the rival. Considering that ape titans do not grow any larger than kongs size, the rival was not especially large or heavy, and godzilla was taking on an ARMY of apes, so 1v1, against a godzilla who had battled armies and wars, the rival would get wiped

[@Nazunadesune]

That's the point my man lol, Current Godzilla would of course bodies The Rival 😅

[@RaymondHuang-do6sz]

femboy alert

[@treyrex5987]

Normally I would agree with that... if Godzilla's own narration says that he got jumped by other Kongs alongside the Rival but that's clearly not the case. One Kong did humble him. If we're going for the idea that he was "younger, weaker and inexperienced" (as an excuse) then why are we also saying it's unbelievable for one Kong to beat him. That feels heavily contrived. Either Godzilla's stronger than one Kong or not, make up your minds people! The events of when Godzilla's battles in the past take place are all over so I feel it's unclear. Personally, I like the idea that Godzilla fight Ghidorah and Skar King's army after his lose against the Rival, which would lead him to be more determined to win the battles to come. Until proven otherwise, that's how I'm going to interpret G-Man's past conflicts. I know we like to think Godzilla is the most badass and perfect thing but it's not realistic for him to start off with Ws; he had to lose at least a few times before he became king and there's nothing wrong with that. Not to mention it doesn't make any sense for Godzilla to somehow 1v1 an entire army of apes when he couldn't even take out two Mutos (yeah, he was hibernating for years and was out of shape during 2014 but he still damn near lost). So yeah, my fellow G-fans, it's okay to have Godzilla take an L every once in awhile. No need to get hostile.

​@Coolguyzilla1965 it's not. It's specifically said when Godzilla was younger and weaker. Not to mention, a weaker version of Tiamat killed the Rival. The rival is so glazed. Kong no diffs, scar king no diffs.

​​@@fillit8839Greg Keyes said that he has no control over the canon of the MonsterVerse with his statements. He didn't say that Godzilla was weaker or that he was jumped, he said that it was IMPLIED that he was weaker and that he MIGHT'VE been jumped, specifically a while after the comic was released. It's obvious that he only stated those things for the Godzilla fans. The Rival fought Godzilla alone in a state where he was stronger than Shimo.

@@KingGoji-m1r3 it's never confirmed Godzilla was stronger then shimo at this time. Considering we have nothing to work with how the fight played out, his words are the closest we have. And like we've seen, The rival was killed by a weaker Tiamat.

This was also the reason why Godzilla would not be defeated by Kong due to his earlier encounter with the Rival. But let's not forget that Skar King is the primary reason why Godzilla hated the Great Apes for starting the Great Titan War. While I do respect the Rival's victory against Godzilla, I would have loved to see a rematch where Godzilla defeats and is forced to kill him when he the Rival refuses to leave.

[@Arsus-gp6ih]

[@ManSpider92]

Nah, Godzilla specifically remembers just the Rival. Not Rivals. It was 1 v 1. Otherwise the narration would state he'd be facing a bunch of Kongs. Godzilla got bested. It's not that hard to accept.

[@lizardwithinternet1314]

⁠​⁠@@ManSpider92I’m looking at this from a logical perspective. Looking at Kong as a base to the rival, and we saw how it was played out, so unless The Rival had a weapon of some sort, it’s illogical to assume Godzilla lost a bare handed ape, and Godzilla has lost to someone besides the rival, mainly Ghidorah in ancient times before needing Shimo to help seal him. Granted it’s likely The Rival was way before Ghidorah, but still, he’s lost to at least two creatures, The Rival with a weapon/a medium sized group, and Ghidorah. And plus, the narration thing is probably Godzilla looking on to one ape, which could be due to the Rival orchestrating the attack. I’ll say again, the rival won due to playing into HIS strengths, human-like intelligence and being able to work well leading/being in a group. And plus, isn’t it just more fitting that an ape used its true mastery rather than just winning in a basic competition of strength? It would make him better from a writing standpoint.

[@ethanvu2430]

@@lizardwithinternet1314 This is just pure mental gymnastics. The Rival beat Godzilla with his bare fists, alone. There's no denying that. If Godzilla really was jumped by a pack of Kongs, then he would have mentioned it in Godzilla Dominion, yet he only mentioned the Rival. It's likely that the Rival maybe wasn't weaker, but was one of the strongest Kongs ever (I mean just look at his build anyways) and was also very skilled and experienced.

I'm beginning to think that another reason why Godzilla killed Tiamat was because he was denied a rematch with this kong.

[@rafipratama3901]

In my opinion, the reason why The Rival was able to defeat Godzilla, was because Godzilla was exhausted, which “probably” the Rival knew that Godzilla had just won a great battle and after the battle he was at his weakest, and knowing Godzilla was at his weakest, that's when The Rival thought of defeating Godzilla once and for all.

[@GodzillaGachaGPT]

Don't let that Godzilla King of the Monsters powerscaler hear you say this, or he'll try to start beef.

[@Unhinged_Pegasus69]

I think the Rival evicted Godzilla before the Titan War, which saw him fighting against Skar King and his army. So, by the time he sealed Skar King and his forces in the Subterranean Realm in the Hollow Earth, Godzilla already had a beef with the Great Apes.
