15 WTF Moments From King Kong Vs. Godzilla

3. Wait, So Who Won?

So after battling it out for a good while, the film concludes with Kong and Godzilla falling into the ocean depths together. This causes a minor earthquake, and for a short while neither monster appears to be surfacing. Eventually Kong emerges and immediately begins swimming back to Faro Island, with not a Godzilla in sight. And that is how the clash between cinema€™s two greatest monsters ends. It€™s pretty anticlimactic to be honest. Both monsters kind of just give up, although at least Kong gets a proper send off. Godzilla on the other hand, while not dead of course, just disappears for some reason. The ending plays it safe, making it slightly ambiguous as to who €œwon€, as most of these high stakes versus films do, though Kong is clearly favoured, which is ridiculous. I€™m not saying Godzilla would win, but€ yeah, Godzilla would win, no question.
