True American Godzilla
MemberMothra LarvaeOct-31-2013 8:29 PMI was re-looking at the summary of the 1954 Gojira film to get an idea for what else we might see in the 2014 counterpart.
1954 version
----------------------
1: Dr. Yamane believes that if nuclear weapons were still used, more Godzillas would appear.
2: 1 special bomb (the Oxygen Destroyer) was used on Gojira to save Tokyo.
2014 version
----------------------
1a: In today's world, we try to not use Nuclear Weapons knowing full well the damage they can do. However, we do get leaks from radioactive substances and Nuclear Plants. The same type of message can still be used in the 2014 movie, but instead of just Nukes it would be Nuclear plants as well.
1b: To have the chance of more Godzillas to come again, we would need more than 1 in the sea. Think of it, if nuclear radiation will mutate an area of life in the deep sea, then more than one "Godzillasaurus" would mutate into our new Godzilla. So we could have male and female Godzillas in the sea.
Another point to consider, in the Japanese films, is Gorjira's child. If Gojira was a guy, then how'd he get a baby? Gojira either mated with an unseen female, or was a female that asexually reproduced 1 kid. In real life, one lone Godzilla would need something to keep the species alive to ensure future attacks. Okay, so I never watched the Japanese films that tried to explain this. Normally I saw Gojira with child in the later films (Space Godzilla, Destroyah, Final Wars).
2: Now in real life we do have zones in the ocean that are deprived of oxygen, but they don't automatically kill the life there. It simply makes all but microbes unable to live there. To realistically stop our Godzilla, we do have some target options (not saying that any of these will be easy to hit mind you).
2a: The gills could provide a soft spot, assuming the scales aren't super tough even there. If Godzilla has to retreat to escape the day, stopping it from breathing in the sea is one option.
2b: The eyes are by far the softest on the outer area, but good luck even trying to hit them.
2c: The stomach could be 'soft' enough to not withstand a powerful bomb if swallowed, but you can see the troubles with this.
Okay, so not so easy in real life, but something to think upon.
