Hello everyone I'm here to talk about the things on Godzillas neck,now I'm new here so yeah but I have heard things about this site talking about gills or somethingwell for 1 if you look at Godzillas muscle diagram you can clearly see there are no slits cause if those werekills they would go straight into the neck cause thats what gills do andhearth would of announced that by now and someone said Godzilla is anamphibian,that's not true because just because he's amphibious doesn't mean he's an amphibian because hipppotamus are amphibious and someone said that he does have gills well how do you know have youmseen the movie no you haven't your just assuming and Garth even said how the movie is realistic he said that the movie is realistic in a force of nature and a world wide reaction type of way now those thingson thefront of his neck are scales but the ones on the sides of his neck are scalnow and if they were gills you would see the red Gill arches but see Garth would of said they were gills if they were because we have see the flaps on his neck and Garth would tell us ithere's we're but there just flaps of skin and scales there not a big thing if you know what I mean, and they way Godzillas breaths under water is because see Godzilla breaths oxygen when he's in space and under the sea and obviously when he's on land because his lungs are not like any humans or animals and his lung capacity isbeyond humans.Now someone said on here Godzilla could be real and everybody bashed down on him and you shouldn't bash down on someone's beliefs unless you have a really good reason to do so and a lot of people on this site are kinda jerks just saying and by the way I heard to be carful cause some of the jerky people on here close your discussions now I can se the somediscussions are just silly and pointess but not all of them are .

Have a good day :-)

@ Marvelgoji: What part of the word "PUNCTUATION" is not being understood? Periods, commas...I'm sure you've heard of these, right?

AFA the "Gills Controversy": what possible difference does it make? If they're gills, fine. If they're not gills, fine.

I guess everyone completely missed my previous post, because they're still making the same tired arguments that I already debunked over and over again. I'm going to reiterate my points and hope it's not invisible this time:

1.) Having gills does not make Godzilla more realistic. Respiration is a chemical reaction which converts food into a form of energy that the body can use, and requires oxygen as a catalyst. However, since Godzilla's stomach is a nuclear reactor that produces its own energy (or at least, he feeds on radiation instead of "food" in the traditional sense), he has no need for respiration, and therefore, no need for any method of taking in oxygen.

2.) Needing oxygen to survive is a huge weakness, since it would allow even a WWI-era military to kill him with simple toxic gas.

Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that the things on the new Godzilla's neck aren't gills- they could be vestigial organs (like the tiny stubs of hind legs whales have that are left over from their terrestrial ancestors), or the creators of the film could have overlooked the above points and given him this huge, glaring, pointless weakness anyways. Like Marvelgoji has been saying, we won't really know until the film is released or Gareth Edwards says something about it.

If Gareth is going for a more realistic approach it makes sense that he would have gills I mean how would he stay underwater for so long at a time. In fact the Godzillasaurus stayed underwater millions of years at a time for hibernation and to survive the extinction of the dinosaurs.
