How was 2014 Godzilla's atomic breath?

It was given the shape of ionized Plasma, not fire. (Still in shock that this is the first time were seeing realistic cgi Atomic breath and your complaining, ungrateful) No offence.

I thought it was brilliant hence my avatar :)

It looked AMAZING!

He's not complaining, so chill. It gave me  the impression of being fire-like when i first saw it as well.

It looks pretty cool... literally, it just doesn't give the impression of intense heat to me, for some reason. Also cool in the other sense of the word.

To be fair, Godzilla's original atomic breath for the first several movies was just vapor, which didn't give off the impression of extreme heat either. It gave off a very powerful vibe.

This new atomic breath, I thought, was very well done and quite appropriate. While it didn't have the impact of the Heisei or millennium atomic breath in terms of appearance or sound effect, it was quite clearly strong enough to prevent the female MUTO from moving forward against Godzilla. That means the breath is almost as powerful as Godzilla himself is when comparing from a physical impact standpoint. He was able to push the female MUTO backwards without her being able to do much without the breath, and the breath accomplished the same task and further sent her reeling and effetively knocked her out for a minute until she woke up and began chasing the soldiers and the nuke gain.

So while the effect might not look supremely powerful, it does seem to pack quite a whallop.

Something people seem to forget is that a laser, any laser, cannot ‘push’ an object. It cannot be done. You can’t move something with light. Now, the heat can move something, if the conditions are right (using a high-powered laser to burn off bits of a meteor, thus potentially slowing it or speeding it up, so that it misses whatever was bout’ to have a bad day). But even that isn’t the heat *moving* it, it’s the stuff being burned off. The way his breath was depicted in the 2014 film is probably the most realistic you could *ever* get it, but I’m not convinced it was plasma. Or rather, I’m not convinced it was *entirely* plasma. When you’re heating up something to turn into plasma(heating it so much it starts breaking down on an insanely small level), very rarely can you get all of it to actually be plasma. It’s always cooling. So, it’s likely that it was a mixture of plasma and super-heated water vapour that was *close* to plasma temperatures.
