In a seismic showdown between Paramount's colossal Cloverfield monster and Toho's burrowing behemoth Baragon, buildings and mountains tremble as these Kaiju clash in a titanic struggle for supremacy.
Interlude[]
Wiz: Monstrous titans, unleashed upon cityscapes. These colossal creatures may not exactly be Godzilla, but with their devastating power, they're set to clash in a showdown for the ages.
Boomstick: On one side, we have the Cloverfield monster (or clover for short), a towering force of destruction and one of the only nightmares of the American government.
Wiz: And on the other, Baragon, the subterranean behemoth with a penchant for chaos, I'm Wiz...
Boomstick: And I'm Boomstick!
Wiz: And today, we're breaking down their strengths, weaknesses, and all the mayhem they bring to find out who would emerge victorious in this monstrous Death Battle!
Clover[]
Wiz: The year was 2008, a time when the Cloverfield monster emerged from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, triggered by Tagruato's meddling with the unknown.
Boomstick: Oh, and let me tell you, Wiz, those Tagruato guys are like the mad scientists you see in movies. They awaken this deep-sea monstrosity with a taste for destruction!
Wiz: Indeed, Boomstick. The Cloverfield monster, a colossal force of chaos, went on a rampage through Manhattan, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake. The Monster weighs about 5500 metric tons and is 91 Meters tall, an absolutely monumental creature!
Boomstick: You know what they say, Wiz, bigger monsters mean bigger explosions! And this thing made the explosions count.
Wiz: The government had to pull out all the stops, initiating the Hammerdown protocol to wipe out the monster, sacrificing New York City in the process.
Boomstick: That's one way to deal with a problem, I guess. But let's not forget the casualties – poor Jason Hawkins, Marlena Diamond, and Hud Platt. They didn't stand a chance!
Wiz: Post-credits whispers hinted at the monster's survival, but J.J. Abrams set the record straight, saying the military bombing put an end to its reign of terror.
Boomstick: Talk about a monster mash! But, you know, a good monster mash needs some drama, and the Cloverfield monster delivered.
Wiz: The creature's origins unfolded through a viral marketing campaign, revealing its connection to Tagruato's Seabed's Nectar, a substance that fueled its insatiable appetite, it is heavily toxic and is even contained in the monsters bloodstream, giving him the ability to transfer the substance through bites.
Boomstick: Ah, Seabed's Nectar, the real MVP here. The venom is so potent, it can take down a monster or even a kaiju! – that is, unless they've got themselves a healing factor! But don't forget the deep-sea hibernation, the stolen marine biologist's research, and that shady Chuai station built right on top of the monster's lair, which got casually torn apart by the monster!
Wiz: We also can't forget the smaller but significant little mites that were latching onto the creatures skin, it was estimated that there were over 2000 parasites on this single monster! they were around the same size and weight as a dog and could easily overpower humans.
Boomstick: Blech! enough of these damned parasites, let's talk about the real monster's rampage!
Wiz: The creature, upon arriving in New York City, attempted to eat the Statue of Liberty's head, later realizing it wasn't edible and throwing it into the city.
Boomstick: And you know what they say, Wiz, if your snack doesn't taste good, make it someone else's problem! That made the damn thing exert almost 300 Tons of TNT into that throw! now that's what I would call a fireworks display!
Wiz: The monster, initially confused, became increasingly furious during a rampage that lasted for five hours, destroying numerous skyscrapers and landmarks on it's path of destruction.
Boomstick: So, they went all out! The HAMMER-DOWN Protocol got the green light at 4:42 AM, and two hours later, military aircraft gave the creature a taste of explosive justice!
Wiz: But right before that, thanks to The monster's heat and pressure-resistant skin, the creature was able to survive over 80 MK-82 Bombs being dropped on it simultaneously, as well as hundreds of other military equipment like tanks and fighter jets. But even after all of that the creature proceeded to crash a helicopter and even bite Hud Platt in half! The creature's rampage came to an end after they presumably used nuclear warheads on him, not without a fight though! The military spared no firepower in their quest to bring down the colossal menace.
Boomstick: Oh finally he's dead!
Wiz: Even with all the chaos the movie brought us we can't forget the very obscure manga that The monster starred in!
Boomstick: Wiz, you're telling me this monster not only trashed New York in the movie but also starred in some manga? And get this – there's a teenage experiment-gone-wild controlling the beast? Now that's a combo!
Wiz: You got it, Boomstick. In "Cloverfield/Kishin," the manga, The Monster's origin and biology remain the same, but this time, there's a kid pulling the strings. The monster effortlessly takes on Destroyer Ships, snapping them like toothpicks!
Boomstick: That's insane! Destroyer Ships ain't no joke, and this monster just treats them like toys. And what's crazier? It withstands a bombardment that leaves a crater, and it just shakes it off like a stroll in the park!
Wiz: It seems like The Monster's got more tricks up its sleeve than we thought. A tale of mystery, deception, and a colossal creature hungry for destruction – the Cloverfield monster's rampage is etched into the annals of Kaiju history.
Boomstick: Now, I'm even more curious to see how this plays out in the Death Battle arena. Can anything stop this beast? We're about to find out!
Baragon[]
Wiz: Today, Boomstick, we've got Baragon stepping into the Death Battle arena. This ancient kaiju weighs around 10,000 metric tons and is 30 meters tall and has a history dating back 65 million years, surviving the mass extinction by burrowing underground.
Boomstick: Hold onto your atomic breath, Wiz! Baragon's like the granddaddy of burrowers, shrugging off small meteors and surviving underground for millions of years, only to burst out in '65, causing a buffet for himself with livestock and tearing up Japan like it's a giant playground.
Wiz: That's right, Boomstick. But here's the kicker – he met his match against the mutant humanoid, Frankenstein. Neck broken, swallowed into a chasm, talk about a wild ride! Baragon can fire an orange heat ray from his mouth. These blasts are relatively weak, frightening Frankenstein but having no effect on his skin.
Boomstick: And just when you thought he's down for the count, BAM, Baragon resurfaces in '99 on Monster Island, hanging out with the kaiju gang. But wait, there's more – in 2001, he upgrades to Guardian monster status, defending Japan alongside Mothra and King Ghidorah.
Wiz: Guardian monsters, a trio of Earth's elemental defenders. Baragon's first appearance near Mount Myoko featured its formidable burrowing capabilities, causing an avalanche in a tunnel that proved fatal for an unsuspecting biker gang. A stark demonstration of the creature's destructive impact. A representation of the capabilities of the Guardian Monsters.
Boomstick: Oh, you bet, Wiz! But when Godzilla crashes the party in 2001, Baragon throws everything he's got at the big lizard, nearly biting through Godzilla's skin, burrowing under the Big G causing him to fall over, and withstanding being flung kilometers away by Godzilla's tail right before he got obliterated by Godzilla's Atomic Beam!
Wiz: That's resilience for you, and not just that he's also an extraordinary jumper! being able to jump hundreds of meters as a method of attack. When Baragon continued to burrow across Japan, his movements were interpreted by authorities as an earthquake with a moving epicenter. And let's not forget the Trilopod war, where Baragon, along with other Earth Defender Kaiju, took on alien invaders.
Boomstick: Yeah, and this kaiju wasn't just there for the show – he went head-to-head with a Trilopod Kumonga, showing those creepy crawlers who's boss.
Wiz: And if that's not enough, he faced off against a Trilopod version of himself – Trilopod Baragon. Talk about a mirror match!
Boomstick: Baragon's wild adventures just keep getting crazier. Will all this be enough in the Death Battle arena? We're about to find out!
Death battle![]
Wiz: Both combatants have been analyzed and are ready for battle.
Baragons height will be adjusted to 64 meters rather than 30 meters to make this logical in size terms. We will allow his heat ray we'll also allow Clover to have his parasites.
Boomstick: Well, folks, without further ado, let's see who's gonna prove to be the better adapter in the Death Battle arena! Time for the ultimate showdown!
