"During the 2010s, science fiction's immortal adversaries Kong and Godzilla, representing our psychological paleolithic conflict per Carl Sagan's "dream dragons" analogy, made comebacks in American cinema. The blockbuster Kaiju resurged onto the silver screen, depicting these solemn protectors of an Earth plagued by mankind's technological hubris, folly and fury. With Earth's future inevitably hanging in the balance, their climactic 2021 staging settled a score between the two giant monsters, resolving Toho's classic 1963 film King Kong vs. Godzilla. As formidable creatures emerging from Time's Tomb and bowels of Mother Earth, metaphorical Kong and Godzilla are considered here in light of New Millennial environmentalism's stark reality. This book, nostalgic in tone, scours the meaning of Kong and Godzilla as planetary saviors--Titanic protectors of a theoretical "living Earth" Gaia--defending the globe from a prehistoric plague of adversaries symbolic of a self-destructive Medean entity"--

Allen Debuss newest abounds with perceptive, well-informed prose exploring the intersection between Gaias apocalyptic overtones and Legendarys Kong and Godzilla clashes. Nostalgia plus insighta win-win combination!Mike Bogue, author of Apocalypse Then: American and Japanese Atomic Cinema, 19511967 Another deep dive into the shrouded origins and hidden meanings of giant monster movies that other scholars often miss, this book proves once again that nobody does it better than Debus when it comes to deconstructing dai-kaiju eiga!John LeMay, author of Kong Unmade: The Lost Films of Skull Island and The Big Book of Japanese Giant Monster Movies: The Lost Films More than 99.99 percent of every species that has ever lived on this planet is extinct. Extinction seems to be, not something evil, but the inevitable fate for all living things, giving way to something else. Will Homo sapiens be next in line for extinction, succeeded by some other dominant form of lifei.e., the Kaiju? Read Allen Debus latest book, then decide for yourself.Donald F. Glut, author of Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia. Allen's tone is conversational, his enthusiasm and fondness for giant monster movies leaping out from each page. ...detailed and enjoyable...fascinating factoids... Debus provides vigorous forays into paleo-apocalyptical dino-monsters, tracing their historical and pop culture iterations before, during, and after the 1950s. ... In addition to unabashed delight, Debus provides much food for thought, offering insightful analyses. ... Debus's latest tome beckonsdare you disappoint your inner Kaiju Kid?Scary Monsters
