Has Gojira really ever been Bad?

Gojira, a terrifying irradiated creature wreaking havoc on Tokyo. One of cinemas greatest villains, is he really that bad? 

Excluding any Goji who is portrayed to actively defend mankind, I wonder the other versions actions could be defended (excluding GMK, obviously)?

I think that Shodai Goji could be defended by one argument. He left and didn’t come back. Shodai Goji went and had some revenge and then left to chill. Mankind came to kill him with the oxygen destroyer. And much of later Goji iterations destruction is accidental.

What are your thoughts?
