Kaiju vs. Gaijin
Turn it into a metaphor for WW2, ride the hype wave from Oppenheimer all the way to the bank
It was Babe that was the kaiju :)
According to this well made video titled Paul Bunyan : America's Forgotten Kaiju I'd say probably yeah, seems like he fits the bill.
Well the official song only puts him at 6'3"
So I'm going to take that to mean that the myth was started by a well versed short king
Edit, after double checking the Lyrics of Disney's "Hey Paul", the line actually says "63 axe handles high"
If you measure axe handles by girth, that's still about 6'3"
Short King Lumberjack theory confirmed!
Googling the average axe handle length I got 35 inches, which puts him at 183 ft nd 9 inches tall
Jolly Green Giant is a Jolly Green Kaiju
Little known fact: his legal name is just "Bu."
sounds like a kpop star. Pal Ban-Joon
Is there not a distinct mythos for giant humans with its own term? If not, Kaiju Bunyan stands, and even if there is, Kaiju Bunyan would manifest as the mirror opposition.
Titans, Giants, etc?
Ah, sorry, I'd meant like in Asian mythos specifically.
Giants or Eoten usually, Titan usually has specific context to greek mythos gods who existed before the olympians replaced them.
No, but he'd kick the shit out of one
Could someone make this movie please?
Taking it literally, I am technically a Kaiju, since it means "strange beast."
No he's just a French Canadian lumberjack that moved south of the border. Some say his original name was Jos Montferrand and he was originally from Montreal.
A pipsqueak relative to my ancestor, the great Nova Scotian Angus "The Giant" MacAskill.
kaiju no. 16
