20 Most WTF Movie Moments Of 2021 (So Far)
20. Mechagodzilla Gets Defeated By Alcohol - Godzilla Vs. Kong
Godzilla vs. Kong is basically two hours of inspired absurdity, though even those who vibed with the movie's heightened ridiculousness might've turned an eyebrow up at its deeply silly climax.
The final battle of course sees Kong and Godzilla teaming up to battle Mechagodzilla as expected, though the two monsters get a most questionable assist from those pesky human characters who keep getting needlessly shoehorned into the fray.
In the end, Mechagodzilla is really felled by young conspiracy theorist Josh (Julian Dennison), who while in the mechanical creature's control room pours Bernie's (Brian Tyree Henry) booze flask all over the vents.
This causes a short-circuit which prevents Mechagodzilla from killing Kong, giving Godzilla precious time to charge up Kong's axe with his atomic breath, before Kong uses said axe to dismantle the robotic Titan.
As cool as this fight scene was, did it really need human interjection at all?
