This is awesome. (And so is the fact about the names for the Godzillas.)

Can't wait for more of Phase II.

10. Heisei Godzilla

9. Gojira 1954

8. Rodan (all incarnations)

7. Battra

6. Final Wars Gigan

5. Desghidorah

4. Monster X/Kaiser Ghidorah

3. Godzilla 1998 (Zilla and Zilla jr.)

2. Monsterverse Godzilla & Monsterverse Ghidorah

1. Mothra (all incarnations including Leo)

The chairman of Warner Brothers said this could be a possibility back in June.

That said, this particular youtuber has made some pretty massive claims in the past that turned out false. I'd relax a bit on this one until we know more.

"I think the directors either expected people to be able to make that distinction, especially when we see Mothra's radiation come out like "magic" stuff instead of actual radiation when she dies. The fact we can see a lot of the radiation makes it pretty obvious it's not the same as actual radiation, at least in my opinion. Also, B, if they didn't think people could make the distinction, then they also probably expected the same suspension of disbelief to have these creatures in the first place."

If that was the hope, it failed. It's confused enough general audiences and been a point of contention with enough fans to be considered a hole. What fans make of the visualization of radiation (and that's only an assumption of what we're seeing) is still conjecture and nothing more.

"It could just be an "interim" energy source between oil and before we manage to make solar power cheaper and widespread."

"People didn't switch from candles to the lightbulb in a year, it took decades for the necessary infrastructure to be fully developed."

Whatever came between candles and the lightbulb, likely didn't result in as many lost lives as nuclear power, barrels of waste being tossed in the ocean and warehouses full of the stuff--Except the ones shipped in black market circles to organizations without nuclear arms, anyway. This "interm" seems to be an excuse--Not to open up a completely separate argument entirely, but why not begin to exploit and mass produce the successfully tested alternatives instead of dance around and hang on to more dangerous forms of energy?

I guess a movie about how much better the lightbulb is would make a little more sense in terms of the nature angle.

"The point, saying that something is inherently deadly because it CAN, not usually will, but CAN cause death isn't a good argument, because then practically everything is deadly. And saying "it's inherently deadly because TOO MUCH can kill you, not that it will kill you in small amounts" is also bad, because even eating enough bananas (not sure why that's my example either) would kill you, it's really just a matter of scale."

"A horse can still kill a person in a number of situations, but overall the benefits outweighed the risks and here we are today."

No, I'm not saying radiation can be deadly, I'm saying it is deadly and it will kill. Your Nutella and horse can cause issues, but radiation will cause issues, because that's what its purest form does. The purest form of Nutella and a horse does not. You don't need a filter or shield of some kind to eat Nutella or brush a horse. You do to use radioactivity and even that has been prone to failure. You're taking objects and creatures that, when stripped down to their basics, have a "what if" warning label. You strip down radiation to what it is and it's deadly. Period.

As for Three Mile Island, I don't see how you could ignore all of the signs of what happened. The effects on people have mirrored that of Chernobyl and Hiroshima. The rates of cancer in the area are still abnormally high, even in 2019--So to conveniently stick to the "old data" because it was first is, in a word, off.

But hey, if you guys want to fist pump the world of radioactivity and wave the pro-nuke flag, be my guest. But that's not what the Godzilla series is for. I don't agree it was okay for it to take such a careless stance and it feels like a blatant slap in the face to the franchise. I'm glad people enjoyed the fan service, monster battles and ka-booms--But it all comes off as very shallow and tone deaf.

I know, right?

Not sure if I can do top ten... I'm going to start from the top and work my way down to see if I can actually figure out top ten, though.

1. Godzilla

2. Rodan

3. Destoroyah

4. Zilla (and Junior)

5. Ghidorah

6. Gorosaurus

7. GIGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!

8. Mothra

9. Battra

10. Mechagodzilla

JESUS CHRIST THAT WAS TOUGH

Alright, I think we can close the book on the Titan Radiation by saying it should have been explained further either in the movie or ancillary media and it relied a little too heavily on suspension of disbelief, so while it worked for some it derailed things for others. That sufficient for everyone else?

"Of course there is. Solar energy has been proven, not just during the day, but capable of storing energy for night as well. Electrical power and cars have proven to be both cost effective and practical governments just prefer to burn oil. And given all the hot air I'm reading in defense of a blatantly dumb movie (because "Monsterverse!"), I think wind powered generators could keep cities running, especially from around these forums."

Maybe so, but the key part of my argument was "right now." Setting up all of those alternatives will take a lot of time and a ton of energy, we can't just turn every nuclear plant and car off and limp along with what we have now, society will screech to a halt. I'm saying we need to use nuclear energy as a stepping stone to better things, but at this point in time, without it we will flounder. People didn't switch from candles to the lightbulb in a year, it took decades for the necessary infrastructure to be fully developed. Also, I know I've personally been getting pretty heated despite my attempts, but insulting people and calling something they like "dumb" is a Terrible way to deescalate a situation.

Yes, I meant nuclear energy, tech was the wrong word. And I'm with TheLazyFish on this one, something being dangerous does not keep it from being useful. Horses can bite and kick and trample and spread disease, but we figured out how to work around those hazards and unlocked their usefulness as a beast of burden and method of transportation. A horse can still kill a person in a number of situations, but overall the benefits outweighed the risks and here we are today. Where's the "Horses are dangerous" franchise? PSAs are for constantly bringing up the dangers of things we're already aware of, I'd rather not have Godzilla be reduced to that.

Did you not read the rest of my point? I have no problem if TMI proves to have had major lasting effects, but as I see it there isn't enough new information yet to properly topple the old consensus, so until then I'll stick with that Both sides seem to have missed several variables, so again further research is required. That's how science works, you use what you have until there's substantial enough evidence challenging it to warrant a change, rinse and repeat. The Paleontological world is in an uproar because a couple of recent studies completely shook up the way we view the Dinosaur family tree, and it's being rigorously combed over trying to make sense of the new perspective. Time will tell if this is just a misinterpretation of evidence or if it's the start of a scientific revolution, but until we're more certain we won't be throwing out the old models just yet.

Yes Monster_Zero 2112, I'm using Wikipedia for my general understanding of whatever comes up, but I'm reading G. H.(Gman)'s articles when he presents them. I'm not a scientist, but I am trying to keep an open mind.

DON'T WORRY,I ALSO LOVE SPIDERS AND OTHER INSECTS!

Yeah. I literally prayed to god after I saw it.

*LE GASP*

I freaked out when my 19 year-old sister showed me the first trailer someone had posted on twitter

Admittedly, when the second Godzilla king of the monsters trailer dropped, I had MASSIVE nerdgasms.

I'm sure the GvK trailer will have the same effect.

I've been waiting for this movie ever since I saw Kong:Skull Island and I am not letting anyone stop me from seeing it.

Same.

I mean, I sure as hell am not going to take this person's word as truth. BUT, until something official comes out, I'm calling BS.

True. 

Man, if that's true, I'm gonna be so pissed.

He would be incinerated by the heat though.

Thanos if he has infinity gauntlet. Everyone else is basically moot in the MCU rn.

Gross,bro. Nobody disrespects the King of the Monsters. Anyway, I think that he would grow and be the same size as Godzilla.

This is more about me saying I like them and not so much WHY...

oof.

"Why Isn't it mentioned in the movie?"

I think the directors either expected people to be able to make that distinction, especially when we see Mothra's radiation come out like "magic" stuff instead of actual radiation when she dies. The fact we can see a lot of the radiation makes it pretty obvious it's not the same as actual radiation, at least in my opinion. Also, B, if they didn't think people could make the distinction, then they also probably expected the same suspension of disbelief to have these creatures in the first place. 

"And given all the hot air I'm reading in defense of a blatantly dumb movie (because "Monsterverse!"), I think wind powered generators could keep cities running, especially if comes from around these forums."

Really man? Real mature. Also, you did a misquote there, but anyways, I said it's one of the "cleaner" options, but also said it wasn't the best. It could just be an "interim" energy source between oil and before we manage to make solar power cheaper and widespread. I think that's the usual viewpoint for when people support it.

"I assume you mean radiation itself, which I wouldn't lump under the term "tech" per-say. I'd argue that it, in its pure form, it is indisputably deadly. There's more going on here than how we use and disposes of it. Radiation is harmful. Radiation may save lives to kill cancer, but why is it used to kill cancer? Because it kills tissue. Heat from the sun? Obviously radiation, but if we didn't have an ionosphere, the planet would be uninhabitable due to it. There is no getting around that radiation is dangerous and there's no problem with an entire franchise being dedicated to that reminder."

Dude, you can make that argument about ANYTHING, even frickin nutella and diet coke because those can give you cancer, the former due to friggin palm oil. In otherwords, I spent a couple years trying to get off of nutella... I still miss it... The point, saying that something is inherently deadly because it CAN, not usually will, but CAN cause death isn't a good argument, because then practically everything is deadly. And saying "it's inherently deadly because TOO MUCH can kill you, not that it will kill you in small amounts" is also bad, because even eating enough bananas (not sure why that's my example either) would kill you, it's really just a matter of scale. 

Again, the main message is to coexist with nature, not that radiation is good for the environment. So this whole discussion we've been having is kinda moot.

Nah, I mean Antman goes inside Godzilla's back door.

He means Antman shrinking down and messing with Godzilla.

Antman has a size limit.And the limit is not above Godzilla's size.

Antman. I think we all know how he would defeat Godzilla.
