this is a question which has always made me wonder. Besides the original and Godzilla vs hedorah, what other Godzilla films showing civilian human casulities? Would you consider the return of Godzilla to be like those two films?

Even Return of Godzilla doesn't really show casualties in the same way as Godzilla '54 and Godzilla vs. Hedorah. This is like due to the movie wanting us to sympathize with Godzilla over the political nuance.

Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack and Shin Godzilla both show casualties in disturbing ways.

Godzilla 2014, Kong Skull Island, Godzilla King of the Monsters, and Godzilla 1998

....and I think Godzilla vs King Ghidorah if I remember correctly

Well, if we're going outside Godzilla movies, then yes. The Mysterians, Rodan, Dogora--That's a long list.

Well I lumped in Kong Skull Island because its a Godzilla movie continuity-wise and not an independent monster film that retroactively becomes a Godzilla monster movie
