If you're not willing to see that this is even a possibility, I can't help you. Should I bother digging through the files and scan or transcribe some of their very "fantastic" interpretations? I don't need to defend myself, but rather to satisfy you? As it stands, you have no way to prove your claims of "backpeddling"--because it's solely based on one English-language synopsis from one Toho sales brochure. What else have you got? PR writers always embelish--it's the Movie Business, afterall! It's all about ballyhoo and exaggeration, no?
For the sake or argument, it could be also extrapolated that it is possible that Toho's PR Department deliberately wrote that King Kong wins, just to appease American/Overseas investors/distributors? Perhaps not, but it is a plausible possibility. Even if it isn't so, it's an interesting thing to factor in -- that Toho might want to appeal to foreign buyers by saying Godzilla lost, no? Just something to ponder..
The Catch of the Day!
