I just raged on Empires twitter

They are a general entertainment magazine, they can't know about every detail and they can't be obscure... How exactly would you describe Godzilla for the general public? Most sites/people do in fact refer to him as a lizard.

Without actually seeing your tweet, it's hard to say....but airing on the the side of caution, I would say you shouldn't do things like that. 

Even if they are wrong, it doesn't make us look good to whine over technicalities. The better foot we put forward, the more people we can encourage to see the movie. 

And besides, you can't know for 100% sure that they are actually wrong :-) Slight trolling here but: Godzilla has had multiple origin stories in the movies....in one version he WAS indeed a lizard.....maybe Legendary will also make their version a lizard :-) You can't know they won't til the movie comes out.......

Probably not the best idea, dude.  For the past 60 years Godzilla has been known as the "giant fire-breathing Lizard" any time he's mentioned or parodied, so even though he isn't a lizard per say, that's what he is known as.

Maybe he is a lizard in the new movie? Calm your cowboys. 

Its not exacly a bad title, Godzilla is pretty much reptillian, lizards are reptiles, dinosaurs are pretty much big lizards you might say and Godzilla has characteristics of dinosaurs so it isnt some insane thought process to call Godzilla lizard, since thats probably what most people come to link of when they think of him. Either that or a dinosaur.
