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.

MemberMothra LarvaeApr-03-2014 11:33 PMmaybe,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.

MemberMothra LarvaeApr-03-2014 11:39 PMIn 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.

MemberMothra LarvaeApr-04-2014 5:56 AMI 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.

MemberBaragonApr-04-2014 7:19 AMJudging 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.

MemberMothra LarvaeApr-04-2014 10:28 AMI 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.

MemberBaragonApr-04-2014 2:43 PMit 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 :)

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

MemberMothra LarvaeApr-04-2014 6:48 PMI 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.
