Throughout fiction there are lots of giant ape monsters, a lot of them inspired by King Kong, and that type of fictional creature seems to be as popular to people’s imaginations as Vampires, Werewolves, and Dragons. So what if we pit a bunch of different fictional giant apes/apelike monsters up against each other? If you don’t know all of them you don’t have to answer for the ones you don’t know. The battle is in the Jungles of Vietnam.
For round 1 the apes include:
King Kong (1933, 1976 and 2005 versions each)
Rajang, Garangolm, Conalala, Blangonga and Ajarakan (Monster Hunter)
Guardian Ape (Sekiro)
King Louie (Jungle Book LA Remake)
George (Rampage)
Barlgura (D&D)
Zeke Yeager’s Beast Titan (Attack on Titan)
Megapithecus (Ark Survival Evolved)
White Ape (John Carter)
Mutant Krog (Primal)
Spiny Mandrilla (The Croods)
Congar (War of the Monsters)
Then in round 2, some of the stronger giant apes come in.
Kong with Axe and Beast Glove, and Scar King with whip (Monsterverse)
King Kong with Electricity and Mechani-Kong (Toho)
Great Ape Vegeta or Oozaru (Dragon Ball)
Blizzard and Chaos (Primal Rage)
Optimus Primal (Transformers)
Donkey Kong with Kong Bananza (Nintendo)
Gorimondo (Kirby)
Grape Ape
Titano (DC)
I don’t know if we’ve seen this concept explored yet in any Kaiju media but would you want to see a Kaiju movie with a Kaiju that gets a rabid zombie virus/plague or parasite and goes on a rampage, killing people and infecting other Kaiju akin to the Plague of Madness in Primal? It could be a Godzilla movie, a Monsterverse movie or an original Kaiju film. Art by Adrian Art on Artstation.
