What makes a kaiju a kaiju? What makes a large ape a large ape, and
why do we sympathize with some, such as King Kong, and not with
others, such as Konga? And what makes a giant person become a
"monster"? This book provides a new and updated perspective on the
kaiju genre and reveals that our boundaries for the kaiju film are
perhaps not as solid as we think. These critical commentaries focus
primarily on newer kaiju works, ranging from Colossal to Shin
Godzilla to Godzilla vs. Kong, but also touches on classics such as
King Kong, Mighty Joe Young, Godzilla Raids Again, and even
lesser-known works such as What to Do With the Dead Kaiju? and
Agon.
