@ JORDANSWICKARD - A nuclear blast would kill Godzilla plain and simple. He feeds on radiation, but what you're forgetting is that as a mortal creature his body has limits to the amount of power it can absorb safely before it overwhelms him and kills him.

A nuclear blast would kill him regardless of whether or not he feeds on radiation. As I've said so many times before, radiation doesn't just do what you want it to. A blast as powerful as a nuclear bomb would overload even his capacity and kill him on the spot even if the initial blast didn't.

Why?

Was Godzilla at ground zero during the dropping of the nukes? No, he wasn't. He was exposed to minute fractions of the overall radiation output of the nuke, and thus he was created from a much weaker level than many people give him credit for. As such, his capacity will be much lower than many people give him credit for which is why when Godzilla moves about you don't hear about long lasting radiation levels in any movie aside from the original and Godzilla vs. Mothra. His radiation levels are not at a level which would immediately kill anyone, as proven by the fact that Dr. Yamane and others were able to walk through Godzilla's footsteps and survive just fine through to the end of the movie without any visible consequence.

The amount of radiation a nuke puts out, especially at ground zero, would be far too much for Godzilla's body to handle.

Long story short, it would kill him. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. Even taking in his ability to absorb radiation, it wouldn't save him. A nuke does not equal more energy for Godzilla. It equals death.

@ LINKZILLA - I don't mean to sound aggressive or mean in any way, but... Are you kidding with that explanation? Godzilla's body is not a nuclear bomb. Even if Godzilla were to go out with a bang, it wouldn't equal the force of a nuclear explosion for the same reasons why he wouldn't survive a nuke in the first place. He was created by radiation levels that were MUCH lower than the levels a nuke is actually capable of producing initially. The power of a nuclear bomb goes far beyond Godzilla, and even if his body were to explode for any reason, it would not be a nuclear blast. Not even close.

As for the actual topic at hand.

If Godzilla does die anywhere in the series, it's not going to be from an oxygen destroyer because that's pure fantasy and doesn't fit the realism of Legendary's vision. It likely won't be at the hands of a nuke either, as the world's governments are too cowardly to use them now that they know what they can do after dropping them on Japan. You think the US government, even if it's a movie, would have the gall to drop one on their own soil just to try and take care of Godzilla when they don't know if it would work or not? Not a chance.

If Godzilla does die, it'll have to be at the hands of either another monster or by his own power turning against him like it did in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah.

Godzilla is being portrayed and likened to a force of nature. He is not actually a force of nature, contrary to popular opinion. Anyone who's arguing that he needs to be stopped by another force of nature because 'he is a force of nature' is only fooling themselves and basing their opinion off of misinterpretation and miscommunication which are the two primary sources of all the false rumors and predictions we've seen throughout the last few years leading up to the release of this movie (and any kind of rumor anywhere about anything really).

In short the most likely reasons for Godzill'a death will be the forces which created him in the first place: Radiation.

Radiation is a force which is naturally degrading into nothing over a very long period of time due to the fact that it's unstable. It cannot sustain itself, and if an unstable force like radiation is the source of Godzilla's power, guess what that means for the Big-G? Godzilla vs. Destoroyah went a little overboard and delved into fantasy with the critical mass thing, but they had the basic concept correct. Godzilla's own power will inevitably be his downfall eventually if nothing else destroys him first.

Here's the specs for the figure:

12 Inch Godizlla

Manufacturer: NECA 
Series: Godzilla Movie Toys & Action Figures 
Release Date: May 2014 
For ages: 4 and up 
UPC: 634482428047 
Details (Description): From one of the most anticipated movie releases this year, the relaunch of the classic Godzilla franchise. This 6" tall figure is highly detailed and fully articulated, and over 12" long from head to tail! Over 25 points of articulation and a bendable tail. 
This classic movie monster has never looked so good in toy form. 

*Notes: Please be advised that our Godzilla Figures are listed at their length from Head to Tail, not height!

• NECA Godzilla 2014 film action figure stands 6 inches tall and is12 inches from head to tail
• Over 25 points of articulation and a bendable tail
• Godzilla figure is Highly detailed and fully articulated
• Official NECA Godzilla Movie toy

Now, when it comes to Godzilla's possible size in this, 350 feet, although it fits the description of being "only slightly the tallest Godzilla", it does sound a bit small when you look and say it, but I theorize that if this Godzilla does indeed hunch over a bit when walking normally, and if he can in fact stand fully straight, that could another 20-40 feet of height overall.

Now, for the 1954 part, since there are scenes taking place in it, I assume similar settings from the original film will indeed be used. Also, completely speculative here, but based on how that leaked script from a few months ago went, it could mean that our Godzilla here is the same one from 1954, but in an alternate universe where the attack never happened in full. Or something like that. Again, purely speculative here.

Finally, leading off of that previous statement, since Watanabe plays a modern Dr. Serizawa, if the idea I had holds credence (which it likely doesn't), then this one could be a descendant that never existed in the original universe.

Once again, this is all just speculation on my part.

Dude, bring back Gezora to fight Godzilla.

I guess I'm in the minority. When I first heard about this movie my first thought was "omfg..." My second thought was "how bad ass would it be if he fought king ghidora?"  To me this movie represents a new beginning, back to basics godzilla. i want to see the original foes...the ones I grew up with as a kid...KG, anguirus, rodan (I'm not sure if Mothra would work) 

seeing those guys in a serious, realistic, big budget American film would make me feel like a 10 year old again. 

im not convinced of the 350 ft thing either, it wasn't taken from any quotes, it was just used in the article to describe godzilla in general and it seems like someone just rounded up from his heisi/ final wars height.

Id like to imagine that theyre going to leave somesort of hint at the end which implies that Godzilla is still alive but not quite, so that if they can make a sequel, they can follow off from this movie and not create a whole new story to bring him back.

Like at the end of King kong vs Godzilla, they both fall into the sea, Kong rises but you don't actually know if Godzilla was killed or not. Its not very likely that he would have died, perhaps he swam away and Kong was attempting to swim after him - thus why he swam out to sea for some reason. But anyway they should keep it mysterious at the end I think.

i would like a cameo or some kind of homeage to king ghidorah, but not a full appearance, at least not for a long time, hes overused. a homage to destroyah or even just destroyah with a modified backstory would look sooooo epic. i think that a bit farther down the road, a revamped space godzilla could be cool. he could be like some godzillla from another universe and have a sort of galactus behavior to him, also i would replace the cristals with bone and replace any pinkish colloration with i dunno, red i guess. i also think titanasaur, anguirus, and maybe rodan have potential. as for mothra, i never understood why people liked it, even the g fans. i dunno, maybe theres something i need to see, but right now(no offense to mothra fans) i really hate the whole concept of mothra, its among the cheesiest ever and i don't think general audiances would think mothra would be cool. however what i could see happen with mothra is this; say that at some point in the new series there are aliens, mothra, battra, and maybe ghidorah and ceaser, could be their  dieties or sommething like that.  i also love the idea of biolante making a comeback.  in the end i think that if they use any monsters from toho that they will be the underused ones like biolant, titanosaur, destroyah(god i hope so) and so on.

hmmmm.... let's see old monsters like gigan, megalon, titanosaurus, hedorah, and possibly even varan even though him godzilla really never did fight

the movie doesnt take place in 1954 only a couple of scenes are set back then from what ive heard

holy crap that is amazing

yeah i forgot about that thanks gojira2k i completly forgot about the introduction to that trailer we already got. I have already told my nephew we are going to see this i have been approved on my vacations days for may 15- 16 so we cant wait

It's obvious that people are a little sick of King Ghidorah, but I think he'd be the most interesting to see what big budget Hollywood could do with. He's a monster from outer space, you can do so much with that, hell, he doesn't even need to be on Earth. While I agree thta he has been slightly overused, I think he deserves his own movie without being under the shadow of Godzilla or Mothra.

It looks like the Moto will really look like that.

He's like Godzilla 2000.

I have an answer for number 1, since I don't know the rest.

1. Yes he will leave a sea of fire as shown by this picture.

Also by this.

Hope this helps. :)

It definately does look like a mixture of 2000 and 2014. Something to take note of, Toho, when you inevitable bring back the next Godzilla series

I'd be eager to see just about any of the classic Toho monsters done by Hollywood, only to see what they do with their design and how well they translate to the realistic look of sci-fi today. But I can do without another Mothra appearance for another 20 years or so. 

My question is: if they're HALO-jumping in to rescue/retrieve anybody or anything, why are they jumping right on top of Godzilla? Unless I'm missing something, wouldn't it be better to jump into the city AWAY from him?

Nice job dude

We'll on a video I saw on YouTube a guy said in chinese muto means no sound

I think it's fanmade, too. But it looks really nice, like all Godzilla Plushs. I have a Plush Hedorah, also very funny. 

i'd would prefer gigan, megalon titanosaurs and biollante in homage forms, infact i think titanosaurs as a whole monster would be cool. he was unique and has only been in 1 film.

its okay dude. i dont think destroyah will be in any of the new movies anyway. id rather have something more iconic

i want to see both old and new monsters

New monsters or foes who are underused.

in other words anything but Ghidorah, Mothra, Mechgodzilla and personally I never want to see Kamacuras, or Kumonga appear again.

@DINOBOY22 alright, im sorry, i got a bit over the top and aggresive, its just  the fact that people suggest what will kill him from nukes to destoryah, sorry guys if i was a bit mean.

well the oxygen destroyer is scientificaly imposible so we can exactly use that. and godzillafan1995 nobody said we want godzilla to die. this all hypothetical. we have no idea if he dies. i just wanted to see what ideas the community would have to respectfully kill him if garreth decided to go that route in the future

@LinkZilla That would be an instant box office success for the 3rd Godzilla movie's ending. That idea would be perfect.

Yes humans should ultimately be the ones to stop him. He may represent a mistake in the first one but as the series progresses, which it hopefully will, would the characters and society as a whole not learn from that mistake? The ultimate way to rectify that mistake is for the humans to be the ones to conquer him. 

I wonder if the Godzilla 2000 suit at the Godzilla Encounter was sort of a first look as to what Godzilla would look like...Because G2014 looks a lot like G2000 in my opinion...which is absolutely awesome!

Of course there are some obvious differences....G2014 spikes are much more haphazard and shattered looking, everytime I see a pic similar to this of G2014, I cant help and think of G2000...

I honestly believe Gareth took G54 and G2000...and sort of hit a sweet spot between the two...

This new design is a God-send in my opinion...I love everything about it! I even like the feet! (Don't see what the issue is there! Honestly never thought the original TOHO Godzilla's could nail the feet! The toes always stuck upwards in a strange fashion and never seemed to look right when they walked!)

But hey, that's my opinion...

Hope for a trailer soon....

so durp you want godzilla weakened and attacked by humans, the one thing that shouldn't be able to defeat him, the theme of this new movie is that godzilla is something humaity cannot defeat as it is their mistake to have him in a ;last stand with humanity, that may sound good but that still ruins what godzilla represents, a force of nature that humanity is responsible for, if humanity has even one chance of defeating him, they will not learn as a whole.

als i wasnt specifically saying that this isn't a fans movie in that way, i was saying in a way where it is not going to be any of the previous godzilla movies except for a similar theme to gojira but it maybe different to that. also i meant in the fact that there will be no toho monsters and that would be pretty stupid to do, orginal monsters are a better option.

I think they should be silent. That'd be flipping scary.

Fanmade. However, it's still adorable.

As Megaguirus said, the site is responding to the word "monster".

Pretty much. :)

also even a general will be pissed if he dies even in sequels  this movie might have. the only way for godzilla to have a good honourable death that is good is to have a son, but that sounds cheesy and audiences may get confused with a godzilla jr bein his biological son and think g is female like in 1998. 

To say a movie is not made for the fans is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Sure it can also encourage other people to get into the series, but at heart it's trying, as Edwards has said multiple times, to stay true to the source material and not upset the fans.

As for how he would die, I'd like the final movie to have him just fighting an unstoppable Kaiju that seems impossible to beat, then after Godzilla finally beats the monster but is gravely wounded. Humans use this chance and attack the weakened monster with everything they have as the final scene is Godzilla making a last stand against the humans he's been fighting so long. 

why would you want him to die, more importantly why on earth would they use the GvsD plot/ending that would bethe stupidist thing to do, why does everyone think they willl use destoryah at somepoint, i'd rather see a homage of megalon than anything linkedto destoryah, the heisei series maybe the best but thats mostly because of godzilla not the monsters, also this is a movie for a those who haven't taken godzilla seriously and for a new generation, this is not a movie made for fans.
