Of course, seeing it would help you get that. Won-Ton Panda wasn’t quite Godzilla sized. He was more like The Blob(X-men blob, not horror blob).

It struck me rather clearly as being a metaphor for China. You got close to this idea yourself when you equated Kong with the old ‘black guys are after our white women’ meme. Then again…well lets just say I was ‘coming down’ from a 12 hour experience that includes a lot of associative thinking.

I’m not sure how your giant panda narative could be interpreted as a vision of US-Chinese relations.

I wish I could remember the idea that Secret Squirell came up with for handling the problem. Somewhere in that episode may be the wisdom that saves us all from the yellow peril.
