Will the 2014 Godzilla be defeated like its 1954 counterpart?

I was looking back to Edwards statements of... 1: "The way I tried to view it was to imagine Godzilla was a real creature and someone from Toho saw him in the 1950s and ran back to the studio to make a movie about the creature and was trying their best to remember it and draw it. And in our film you get to see him for real." 2: Legendary announced it would make the new film closer in style to the original 1954 film So this film and our American Godzilla will be in the style of the 50's Japanese version. Now in the 1954 film Gojira was beaten by an experimental (fictional) bomb. Question: Will our American Godzilla be defeated in 2014? This is a tricky one to answer. For one thing, the 50's version never had any other monster besides Gojira. Our American Godzilla will battle two other monster types in addition to the military. This statement makes me lean to Godzilla surviving. However, a leaked Call Sheet indicates a "bomb" (no word on what the bomb is) knocks Nautilus (probably Godzilla, as the movie was going to be named Nautilus at one point) down to the ground. To quote.. "EXT SF on the way to the Wharf. Behind Ford as he turns & sees a fallen Nautilus." [img]http://i.imgur.com/Mx9S9aw.jpg[/img] Now this statement could mean one of two things. 1: Godzilla was beaten by the 'bomb'. 2: The bomb knocked him out, but didn't really kill him. If Godzilla were dead, to add room for a sequel, the camera would dive into the deep sea and show another Godzilla was waking up or something. What do you folks think? I can see this question going either way so I'm not positive (guess that means I will be surprised).

I believe in Jesus Christ, who's my Lord and Savior.

It is interesting to ponder, but I highly doubt that they would kill Godzilla in this film. Remember that this is considered a reboot of the classic Japanese Godzilla. If they were going to kill off Godzilla, why make it a reboot? If Godzilla dies, it should be a standalone remake.

The answer is: the same as always. Godzilla is always "killed" or everyone believes he's been killed, but then he keeps coming back. The point of the original film was that humankind created another force of nature experimenting with things like the atom bomb and the creation is beyond the creators ability to control (kill). In the original they did kill Godzilla, but the tone was that a Pandora's box had opened and there was no guarantee that something else wouldn't replace him. They'll "kill" him off but the door will definitely be left open for another film...

He may or may not be killed; we do not know. But if he does get killed, it will probably be more realistic than an oxygen destroyer

Godzilla cannot die, i think they will "kill" him in the movie, but we will see him alive in a post-credits scene, or something like that. The real question is: Will the protagonists know that he still alive? or only us, the public?

@ KingOfZombies If Godzilla was alive in the post-credit scene, would the protagonists know about it? Good question. On one hand I would say no. However, the idea of them knowing has a certain appeal. Say they are celebrating or something, then all of a sudden one of the Navy Subs is calling for help... until they are cut off by an ominous roar.

I don't believe so. The only times Godzilla is really beaten is when he's alone in movies, when there's another monster he may be driven away but he's never outright killed, or at least explicitly said so. If they do beat him I don't think it would be a definite things like in Gojira or Godzilla vs. Destroyah, but more ambiguous with there being more of a hint to him surviving. Since they're going for a dark theme I think it would be much better if they drove him away but knew full well he was alive and could attack again at any notice and left pondering why they had created such an unstoppable force and what was gained from it.

I think he will not gonna die in this movie. the idea of a post-credits scene with him awakening in the deep sea is very awesome!

I hope that if a "bomb" is used in the conventional sense,it should be a nuke. That would help give the impression of the sheer destructive Godzilla entails that requires the usage of the greatest weapon known to Humanity. However,him not being disintegrated in the blast should act as an indication of him surviving,perhaps even becoming stronger in sequels because of it. That is,IF a nuke is used.
