Win Tickets to the Kaiju Comic Con After Party!
Kaiju Big Battel is a very wondrous thing that definitely has to be seen to be believed. It’s described as “performance entertainment,” and basically entails people dressed up as really bad Godzilla or Kaiju style monsters beating the living crap out of each other. How can you possibly go wrong with that?
Meant to be a mixture of professional wrestling and the Tokusatsu Kaiju (special effect monster) movies, it began as a video project by students at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. While said video project was never realized, another student suggested that more characters be created to fight at live competitions or Big Battels. The first Battel occurred on Halloween night in 1996 and they have been battling ever since.
Kaiju will be batteling at the Troc this Saturday night at 8:00pm for the Philadelphia Comic Con after party in an all ages show that promises to be a Battel to end all Battels! Tickets are $18.50 for adults and $11 for children and can be purchased here. Still want to attend but afraid you will spend all your cash in the Dealer’s Room? Don’t worry we have you covered; we have 3 pairs of tickets to giveaway to our loyal Geekadelphia readers.
All you have to do is comment with; if you could be a giant monster which one would you be? Which city would you terrorize, and why? The best 3 will be picked Friday night notified and put on the guest list for Saturday.
Till then, check out a video of the greatness that is Kaiju!
I would be a gigantic squid and would attack Minneapolis Minnesota because St paul is so close it’s like attacking two cities at the same time. Man I miss Kaiju. ALL HAIL Dr. CUBE!
I would be a giant platypus, but instead of poisonous claws I would have claws that shoot lasers. Then I would attack London, cause it seems like a cool swinging town for an egg laying mammal like me to destroy and then start a family.
I would be Gamera and terrorize Key West.
“Turtle soup?! TURTLE SOUP! I’ll show you!”
Also spinning like a crazy flying saucer would be fun as hell.
Think about it… GODZILLA!
First of all, not only would you be huge, capable of breathing fire, and as strong as a crazy giant monster, but think of the fame! Godzilla is surrounded by Asian women, and has starred in countless movies and parodies over the years. Rage Against The Machine uses the word “Godzilla” in a song for cryin’ out loud!
You could get a book deal, do the talk show circuit, date famous actresses. No doubt, Godzilla is the right answer.
And god, I want to see Kaiju Big Battel so bad!
I would be a giant Spongebob that could absorb all the water out of my enemies, an attack called ‘The Electrolyte Imbalance of Death.’ I also carry a swarm of flying jellyfish that can be released from my sponge holes, this is called ‘Jellyfishers Delight.’
I would be a giant “Man of War” jellyfish. Man of War’s are such super rad deadly sea creatures. They are really awesome with their deadly art and look to them. Plus I just think a giant one would be pretty damn sick terrorizing the city of Brotherly Love (aka The City of Philadelphia). Especially having it’s tentacles grab wrapped all around city hall and vast other buildings in it’s trail of destruction .
I would be a giant barnacle because no one ever suspects this silent killer.
Atlantis will be toast.
