I will keep this up all day, to the point at which not even I am amused.

How would you feel about Galaxy-sized robots fighting on top of the Milky Way?

I didn't mind it as an adventure movie, but as I recollect it had the scientific footing of a turd made out of nipples.

Not what I meant. I've never seen the movie.

Possibly something along the lines of how one might feel about humans fighting on top of a human.

But, you know, more big.

It makes about as much sense as ninjas fighting on top of dandelions seeds suspended in the wind. Less sense, actually.

It would be a screaming good time. And utterly nonsensical.

The problem with comparing two giant beats with questionable science behind them is that in each of their franchises, sometimes between films (or in films!) of the same franchise, they have different physics that apparently make the whole thing possible. It was ridiculous back in the fifties, but even worse now since film-makers obviously make an attempt at realism, but they do this by discussing an interesting few points (often by having a scientist character shoot down an infeasible idea from another character) while completely ignoring all the rest. It's anyone's guess as to whether this is a better, worse or more infuriating situation than before, but it causes problems in versus comparisons when considering two monsters meeting each other, when the lack of science of one would give it an unfair advantage, while the "science" of the other would cause the immediate death of his opponent from natural causes.

Either let them each subsist on their own unique movie physics, in which one therefore wins before any real contest needs to occur, or establish some sort of consistency, in which both are quickly reduced to a bloody pulp of their own accord.

The entire exercise, and all its possible solutions, are more futile than usual.

I bet you're a riot at parties.

I am not forced to suffer parties.

What do you mean, then?

I meant, fuck you for trying to draw BM into a seven paragraph description of the failed science of another film. And I meant it. Fuck you.
