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!
Fuck King Kong. I want to see Godzilla vs. Paul Bunion.
Turn it into a metaphor for WW2, ride the hype wave from Oppenheimer all the way to the bank
Kaiju vs. Gaijin
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.
sounds like a kpop star. Pal Ban-Joon
Taking it literally, I am technically a Kaiju, since it means “strange beast.”
Little known fact: his legal name is just “Bu.”
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.
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.
