Inspired by some comments on facebook, I've noticed there's a lot of misconceptions about the Godzilla series both in-universe and filmmaking wise. So help me out Scified team.

What do you think are some of the most Frequently Asked Questions within the franchise and about the movies? Which questions do you hear the most from fans or people new to the fandom? Are there questions you want to hear answered that you aren't sure about? Are there some misconceptions that fans believe and you know to be true otherwise? I'm curious to hear from everyone.

Zilla is not Godzilla:

There are many misconceptions that the monster from the 1998 film is godzilla, thoho the Producer and Owner of Godzilla has oficially re-named the monster to zilla, quotiung that they took the God out of Godzilla

Godzilla vs Satan:

This whas a rumored cancelled film, that rumor started to popout due to misinformation from a magazine, toho never planed on making such a film, when the Magazine made a retractionit whas too late

KingKong Vs Godzilla Double ending:

A rumor stated that the ending to the movie varied in the dub, this is falce with the only difrence in the ending is that in the japanese version when Kong came out of the ocean Godzilla's roar could be heard, while in the American version Kong's roar is heard, Toho oficially stated that the winner of the figth whas Kong

From my experience with YouTube commentors as well as people I've met in real life that know little about Godzilla, I've compiled the following tentative list.

Is Godzilla a lizard?

Is the monster that appeared in Godzilla (1998) actually Godzilla?

Is Godzilla good or evil?

Does Godzilla breathe fire?

Is Godzilla smart?

Is Godzilla male or female?

Is Gamera a Godzilla monster or another monster entirely?

Is the alternate ending rumor for King Kong vs. Godzilla true?

How many Godzilla movies are there?

Where does Godzilla's name come from?

(I'm sure I will think of more eventually.)

Godzilla breaths radiation in the olf films and most likely plasma in the 2014 movie.

Zilla is in the Godzilla universe but he is not Godzilla

Gigan is a cyborg, not a mech or robot

Yes, King Ghidorah is an alien, in the Showa films.

Godzilla isn't invinceble, but he is pretty durable.

These are a few questions I see on Youtube from time-to-time.

Godzilla 1998 is Zilla

Godzilla is green only in two films. In the rest he is charcoal black(charcoal grey in 2014).

Godzilla is only evil in a few of his films.

Zilla Junior was not dubbed Godzilla Junior by Toho, this was a rumor spread by fans of the show.

King Ghidorah and Keizer Ghidorah aren't the same character.

Godzilla Junior at the end of Godzilla vs Destoroyah is not the same Godzilla seen in 1999 or in 2004.

King Kong is not as big as Godzilla!!!

Godzilla vs Megaguirus is not a direct continuation of Godzilla 2000: the suits may look the same, yes, but the stories are set in alternate timelines.

That "deleted scene" from Final Wars is not Bagan. It's a monster called Reizaus.

Be yourself, for everyone else is taken.

Doesn't Godzilla eat people/cars?

 

(Of course not, but I don't know how many times I've heard that.)

Nate it does have been implied that Godzilla eats pepole in the 1st movie where an old man says that they used to sacrifise Young Women to calm him down and so that he stops eating their fish

Here's a couple I've been asked at school:

 

Isn't the original the one with Mathew Broddrick?

 

Don't the movies have crappy actors that talk out of sync?

 

Isn't the 2014 the sequel to the one from 1998?

 

Why does Godzilla destroy Japan? Is he racist or something? 

(yes, someone was serious about this question ^) 

 

So is Godzilla a girl? She had babies in the 1998 one.

@JRR

Well, I've only been asked those questions at school (even by teachers!). 

 

I barely have anyone to talk about Godzilla with except peeps on the internet and my Mom. No one around where I live know Godzilla, unfortunately.

My FAQ is 'Why do you like Godzilla?"

My list:

Isn't that the cheesy movie with a guy in a rubber suit?

Does said guy destroy a cardboard city?

Why are you so excited about those 3 monsters being in the sequel to the new movie? (You know which ones.)

What are the things on his back called?

Why do you hate the 1998 movie?

What is it even about?

Did he ever fight that one giant turtle?

The biggest misconception is that Godzilla has good taste in hair-cuts and is a good barber.

I think more debatable and opinionated subjects like, "Is Godzilla good or evil?" or "Is Godzilla smart?" "Isn't the movie cheesy?" etc. will be left out. Lets stick to questions that have fairly substantial facts behind them.

This isn't necessarily just for non-G-Fans, but G-Fans who may have misconceptions about the series they enjoy as well.

For example, so think Rodan caused Godzilla's Burning form. There is nothing to support that idea at all and is explained as something entirely different in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah. Stuff of that nature.

What's bothered me a bit is the Godzilla brain size deal, ever since KK vs G everyone thinks Godzilla has a brain the size of a marble. So let's clear that up
