Monster Madness has been on a brief hiatus the last couple of weeks. I had a family emergency and couldn&#8217;t get any work done during that time. Then the holiday season hit, which pushed back the tournament a bit more. Finally, here we are, ready to get the second round of bloody monster mayhem cranked into full gear.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/cloverfield-godzilla.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45507\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/cloverfield-godzilla.jpg\" title=\"Cloverfield vs. Godzilla\" width=\"523\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/cloverfield-godzilla.jpg 523w, https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/cloverfield-godzilla-300x103.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 523px) 100vw, 523px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now here&#8217;s an interesting match-up. Both of these monsters are city-wrecking behemoths that don&#8217;t seem to be phased by gunfire, missiles or any other conventional weaponry that human armies can throw at them. One lays waste to the Tokyo skyline while the other takes out Manhattan with brutal destruction.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/cloverfield-thumb-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-45511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/cloverfield-thumb-2.jpg\" title=\"Cloverfield\" width=\"107\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a><strong>Colverfield<\/strong> \u2013 It&#8217;s said, or at least hinted at (I can&#8217;t really remember), in the movie that the Cloverfield monster is just a baby. This triggers the obvious question: What the hell would an adult Cloverfield look like? Either way, he&#8217;s a monster with immense power who can surely put up a fight against Godzilla.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Tools of the Trade:<\/span> Besides being a gigantic roaring destructo-machine, Cloverfield also unleashes blood-sucking parasites. Could an army of those monster fleas be the difference maker in a battle against the mighty Godzilla?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/godzilla-thumb-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-45512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/godzilla-thumb-2.jpg\" title=\"Godzilla\" width=\"107\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a><strong>Godzilla<\/strong> \u2013 He&#8217;s probably the most famous movie monster. Godzilla has lived through numerous eras of cinema, destroying every concrete structure that he comes into contact with. So many years of terror, so many smushed Tokyo citizens.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Tools of the Trade:<\/span> Godzilla boasts enormous power and strength, but also has a trick up his reptilian sleeve. Nuclear fire! That&#8217;s right, he can breathe nuclear fire.
