Captain Marvel and King Kong

 

CGI is the special effects language of movies these days, but classics like the original King Kong and The Adventures of Captain Marvel boasted some very impressive practical effects for their time.  I'm sure young audiences thrilled to the wonders before them.  The only thing cooler would have been to combine the two properties.

As in, Beautia Sivana? Played, perhaps, by Linda Stirling? For that reason, alone, I would've gone to see this movie (as a seventh grader) every weekend for twelve weeks. Or fifteen...or even a hundred!

Superb work, today, Ross. :-)

I'll make a wild guess that while Superman was taking Starro (to Starfish Island?), shortly after STF #4446, Billy Batson yelled "Shazam" in order to transport Kong back to Skull Island. Inadvertently interrupting the Henry Jones, Jr. Expedition (@ STF #3823) who had been hoping to benefit from Kong's absence!
