Godzilla 1998 vs Godzilla 2014

hi, this is my first post on this forum and i wasn't exactly sure where to put this comparison, so here goes.

All i see is people bashing on the '98 movie, citing the drastic design change in build. Going from an upright, lumbering creature to a sleek, theropod esque build. However, the two creatures do share rather basic anatomic similarities.

Note the dorsal spines, the long grasping arms, and tough crocodilian like hide. even the roar of these creatures is reminiscient of each other.The only true difference morphilogically speaking is G98 is in a theropod esque pose, while G14 is more upright in his stance, showing his truly immense size. Also, the snout of G98 is more elongated and the teeth are more prominent then in G14.

The plot of both of these movies was quite suprisingly similar. Hell, even the opening scene of the newest Godzilla iteration was reminiscient of the '98 film. The plot revolved around the protagonists - and the miliatary's- efforts to understand Godzilla, to figure out exactly what this things deal was

A plus for the '98 film is we simply saw more of Godzilla. In the newest movie, we saw Big G for all of about 6 minutes. Both films however, simply failed to recognize that shooting standard artillery at Godzilla really does nothing but irk him a great deal.

The sheer amount of destruction in both films was tremendous. Although, G14 seemed to tiptoe around the buildings, while G98 didn't mind knocking down any in his path as he fled the military.

G98 did have something the 2014 film didn't; The concept of baby Godzilla running around. An asexual animal as Broderick pointed out, Godzilla soon layed a vast clutch of eggs. And after those eggs hatched, well that's a point alot of '98 film haters point to as "ripping off Jurassic Park". Nonsense.

Alot of movies, especially in the 90's, would do homages - a nod do something famous - in their films. Emmerich was clearly giving Jurassic Park the nod of "You did good, let's see what i can do with this".  As a matter of fact, i thoroughly enjoyed this aspect of that movie. That's just my inner Jurassic Park fanatic speaking, though.

What G14 did have though, is the sole fact that Godzilla didn't die. G98 was taken down by missiles on the Brooklyn bridge, which was indeed a mournful sight...for some anyways. In the end credits, we see that an egg from G98 has survived, the baby lurching out to take a bite out of the camera as the credits roll. 

Hmm...Godzilla dies....But a youngster survives previous carnage inflicted around it? doesn't that remind y'all of something?

Well, I see this as another Homage to Godzilla vs Desotroyah, in which Big G perishes, yet his youngster lives on to continue his reign of terror. Has any one else considered that? Or are we all too busy criticizing this movie?

For me, i see this movie as worthy of the name Godzilla. It has everything you want in such a film, action, suspense, and albeit at times some shameful acting( yet you cannot deny this was abundant in G14; saying otherwise is ignorance at its finest)

Just my thoughts. let me know what y'all think!
