Now, most of you know that I have a series I write called Colossus By Design, which is a narrative involving a struggle between Humanity and giant monsters called "P.E.M.F.s", as well as classic Toho/Daiei Kaiju getting thrown into the mix.
However, as per the title's namesake, we'll move onto the discussion at hand.
We all know that Godzilla isn't your average giant monster. No, he's a complex being that can think for himself, and has feelings and thoughts of his very own. So that brings me to a close look at what this all entails.
The best examples I can think of are the moments in Godzilla's history involving his various adopted offspring, Minya and Baby/Little Godzilla (Junior). Specifically, moments where they're in great peril, and Godzilla, being the good dad he is, comes to the rescue, often followed up by very emotional moments that either warm and/or break our hearts as G-fans.
So this is already evidence enough that he's got a wide range of emotions, and I've demonstrated this as well with my series' own version of the King of the Monsters. I've wrote him displaying anger, sadness, even a sense of humour. I'm not sure whether or not this defines Godzilla as a better character or not, but from what my readers have told me, they quite enjoy these emotional takes on the big guy.
So I ask you G-fans this....... is a more emotional Godzilla a good investment for the future? Could giving the King a wider and more detailed range of emotional moments and development be the next big step in bringing Godzilla to the masses? Tell me your thoughts below, whether you agree, disagree, or don't quite know.
