Monster Face Off is a web series hosted by the youtube channel, Goji Center. In each episode, a climactic battle various giant monsters or powerful megafauna duke it out in unseen match-ups, similar to Deadliest Warrior and Animal Face Off with the latter serving as a Spiritual Predecessor.Beginning in 2023, the series premieres in special events on Youtube before being formally uploaded. The format introduces the two combatants, be they real-life animals or fictional monsters, and going through a series of categories note (such as "Armor", "Speed", "Agility", "Intelligence", etc.) with the advantage per category going to one combatant or another.Season trailer here.Thus far, confirmed match-ups are: Episode 1: The Meg vs. InGen's Mosasaurus, released August 11th, 2023 Winner (Spoilers) :The Meg, sporting a more effective bite and greater resilience to shrug off the reptile's attacks long enough to land a critical blow Episode 2: Tyrannosaurus rex vs. Palaeoloxodon namadicus, released October 8th, 2023 Winner (Spoilers) :Palaeoloxodon, being much heavier, having better defense and a much longer reach. Though the T. rex could learn to hunt the giant elephants via pack-hunting or ambushes Episode 3: Porco Galliard vs. Skullcrawler Episode TBD: Rodan vs. Camazotz Episode TBD: ARK Giganotosaurus vs. Skull Devil Episode TBD: Godzilla vs. Mechagodzillanote (specifically between Godzilla at full power without having been winded fighting Kong like in the movie) Episode TBD: Jurassic Park III Spinosaurus vs. Indominus rex Episode TBD: Kong vs. Rodan Episode TBD: MUTO Prime vs. King Ghidorah Episode TBD: Behemoth vs. Valka's Bewilderbeast Episode TBD: The Bloop vs. El Gran Maja

Noisy Nature

comment
Noisy Nature: Tyrannosaurus rex vs. Palaeoloxodon namadicus sees both animals making noises before the fight for no particular reason, even when there is nothing around them. The Tyrannosaurus at least does not make enough noise to give away its position to the Palaeoloxodon while sneaking up on it. When the fight starts, both make noises. The Palaeoloxodon trumpeting at least serves the purpose of trying to frighten the dinosaur away. All the noises during their fight, however, serve no purpose. After the Palaeoloxodon wins, it trumpets in triumph for no reason beyond looking cool.

David Versus Goliath: The Tyrannosaurus rex is roughly half the mass of the Palaeoloxodon namadicus, despite being of comparable overall size.

Ramming Always Works
 Monster Face Off (Web Animation) / int_3114c1e5
comment
Ramming Always Works: Both The Meg and InGen Mosasaurus employ ramming as a secondary means of attack other than biting, but the latter is more effective at it. Whilst not a calculated weapon, the Palaeoloxodon also uses its head as a battering ram to stun the Tyrannosaurus.

Boring, but Practical
 Monster Face Off (Web Animation) / int_39b8d3d6
comment
Boring, but Practical: Compared to the monstrous looking InGen Mosasaurus, The Meg is essentially just a real life megalodon with extra gills and more cold tolerance. This means it is more fine tuned and has all of its abilities intact, helping secure the win.

Clash of Evolutionary Levels: To a degree in The Meg vs. InGen Mosasaurus and Tyrannosaurus rex vs. Palaeoloxodon namadicus, which feature a Cenozoic beast going against a Mesozoic saurian. In both cases so far, the Cenozoic animal won.

comment
Artistic License – Paleontology: Discussed in episode 1. Both The Meg and InGen Mosasaurus are not perfectly aligned with their real life counterparts, though The Meg is substantially closer to the real thing. This gets Deconstructed with the Mosasaurus, since not having a streamlined body and lacking a forked tongue for sensory input is one of the reasons it lost to the shark, which retained all of its essential abilities.

Roar Before Beating: The Palaeoloxodon trumpets at the Tyrannosaurus before their fight starts, and the Tyrannosaurus roars in return. The elephant making noise has the understandable purpose of frightening away the predator, the dinosaur roaring is just there to look cool.

There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Tyrannosaurus rex vs. Palaeoloxodon namadicus ends with the Palaeoloxodon knocking over the Tyrannosaurus and impaling it with its good tusk. While the T. rex was already dying from the wound, the elephant still stomps on it and crushes it to death.

Mighty Glacier: The Palaeoloxodon namadicus when compared to the Tyrannosaurus rex. It is up to twice as heavy, making it physically stronger and more defended. But is is much slower, losing both the "Speed" and "Agility" categories.

Super-Senses
 Monster Face Off (Web Animation) / int_a8c462db
comment
Super-Senses: The Palaeoloxodon and Tyrannosaurus both possess excellent hearing and smell. The sense of smell of the Tyrannosaurus identifies different animals and its eyesight is superior to that of a human. In addition to its sense of smell and hearing, the Palaeoloxodon can also sense vibrations in the ground. The impressive senses of both animals mean that one ambushing the other is impossible.

comment
Cruel Elephant: Downplayed with the Palaeoloxodon. While it is defending itself from the Tyrannosaurus, being an herbivore does not mean it is any less violent when threatened than any carnivore. The Palaeoloxodon is not content to end the fight with the T. rex by simply driving it off, and after knocking the dinosaur over, it impales it with its tusk and then stomps on its chest, crushing it.

comment
Wrecked Weapon: Discussed with Tyrannosaurus rex vs. Palaeoloxodon namadicus, where one of the points discussed is whether or not the dinosaur could break the elephant's tusks. The analysis says that it would be possible but not easy. In the fight, the T. rex does manage to break off a tusk with difficulty. However, getting close leads to Palaeoloxodon knocking it over and killing it.

Outside-Context Problem: The combatants of episode 2 are this to each other. The Tyrannosaurus rex would never have encountered a gigantic mammal the size of a sauropod which can grapple with a trunk, and the Palaeoloxodon namadicus never would have encountered a dinosaur anywhere near its own size nor animals that large also being very agile.

Stealthy Colossus: The Meg can swim almost silently thanks to its streamlined body and denticle covered skin. This is one of the reasons it won, as it could reliably ambush the Mosasaurus. The Tyrannosaurus is stated to rely on ambushes, but the Palaoloxodon's Super-Senses mean a single T. rex sneaking up on it isn't feasible.
