Will Godzilla Regenerate?

Something Real

Hello there. I've had a little time to go over the sundry TV Spots boiling out into the site and, to say the least, they've got my mind working on overdrive! That being said, I've a simple question I don't believe has been posed: will Godzilla possess the ability to regenerate his tissues? This is a theme we've seen quite a bit in many of the Godzilla films we know and adore. I believe the process - genetic fluke? - was called Regenerator G-1 in Godzilla 2000. In any event, I'd be quite interested in seeing how this particular aspect is handled if it is indeed featured in Edwards' upcoming film. As always, your thoughts and conjecture on this topic are most welcome and appreciated, even if you choose to keep them to yourself. :)

I think yes, after all, all living things have the ability to regenerate themselves, some ones, like the reptiles, much more faster than mammals, for example.

 

So, in the "realistic" world of Edwards, Godzilla healing power fit very well, specially for an animal that lived during so much time (millions of years) and that had survived atomic explotions against it.

maybe,because this movie takes place after the 1954 and i dont even know that it would take place in the other movies.but its godzilla.so yeah. it probably does have regenerator G.

In my honest opinion, I think no. I think Godzilla will just have very thick, strong armor that is very hard to be pierced. But not regenrative cells. If he does have regenrative cells then that would be awesome. It doesn't bother me either way.

I've a feeling that, if Godzilla does indeed possess the ability to regenerate, it will be presented in a realistic manner. DEADITE KAIJU - You've got it there. If he simply has an ultr-thivk hide, that'll be just fine for this girl! That being said, I won't be displeased if he can heal his wounds at a geometric rate. :)

I think not. The Legendary Pictures folks want realism in this movie/Godzilla design. Very powerful armor is possible, but regeneration (at least at the level typically portrayed) isn't very possible. Besides, this Godzilla feels like a more powerful form of the 1954 version which also favored tough hide vs regeneration.

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

Judging by the look I'd go with a thick hide, with above average regeneration, but nothing along the lines of regenerator g1 with wounds being completely healed within hours.

I think the strength of his regeneration will vary by how much nuclear energy he absorbs through his g cells

Life is very simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

it is a huge possiblity however, seeing the thickness of this new godzilla it seems to me like his skin resembles that of an armoured hide which would be amazing :)

It's possible, but I doubt it. Godzilla's regenerative abilities is not a well known trait and it wasn't something introduced to the franchise until Godzilla vs. Biollante.

Edwards seems to be taking most of his cues from the original film which didn't have the regenerative powers ability.

GMAN2887 - You have a very strong and valid point here. I'd honestly forgotten that Godzilla's regenerative abilities were first introduced in vs. Biollante. Thanks for clearing that up! :) As a whole, given what I've seen and heard from everyone, you're likely spot-on with regards to what we can expect from Edwards' upcoming film. A more realistic standpoint wouldn't go unappreciated - at least not by me! :)

I don't get why everyone thinks a near impenetrable hide would be more realistic than regenerative powers. I mean, there is no living thing that can withstand artillery fire, and no material that can withstand the temperatures and pressures that particularly large bombs can produce, but a relatively complex animal called a sea squirt has been proven to be able to regenerate its entire body from just a fragment of a blood vessel. In fact, since Godzilla's body produces radiation rather than having to consume an outside energy sources, it's possible that even if Godzilla recieves mortal wounds and "dies," his cells could continue to survive and multiply without the rest of his body functioning. Besides, considering that Godzilla can survive nuclear explosions, they are clearly not going for realism in terms of his abilities in this film.

LINKZILLA - That's a fine arguement made. :) Thanks for bringing it to the table. The part about the Sea Squirt was quite compelling! Not only that, but you've couched your statement strongly. An excellent addition! :)
