"Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy. They do not attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend himself. After several stories such as this, people end up having a kind of affection for the monsters. They end up caring about them." - Ishiro Honda

I've always liked this Godzilla because despite being smaller than the average Godzilla its very nimble and fast therefore still quite terrifying as its counterparts

[@jwilson2793]

Hight-wise he’s about the height of the Showa and Millennium G’s (except Final Wars). Thes a comic where Zilla fights the true Godzilla and he puts up a good fight…considerably faster and more maneuverable, plus can dig at high speeds.

[@sastaassh1112]

This shit sucked😂

[@Kaiju-bm4ts]

Not necessarily, being fast only gets you so far in terms of fear. This thing is scary because of it's rapid reproduction abilities. Other than that, godzilla is still many times more intimidating. One is a walking nuke/force of nature, the other is an animal who just makes kids really fast

[@artosin]

I Saw It Twice on cinemas. Had good memories about this movie.

Because casuals like you at times somehow are smart enough to realize Disney remakes suck but can't figure out this movie is another case of *Hollywood cares more about money than representing a IP correctly* so how about not generalizing all godzilla films as cheap children films when godzilla has been serious and not goofy since the 80s lol. Even the current American godzilla films get him right better than this film does It'd only the best version for you cause it's the only version you literally seen lol.

@@Kaiju-bm4ts 500 tonnes but Zilla was running and jumping on it so you can basically double that! Also, a structure only needs to be weakened for a collapse to be possible. Bad taste probably, but look at the WTC as an example......and yes, I know this was a just a movie and the latter was a real world tragedy.

[@Kaiju-bm4ts]

@@andycross9840 it's the same amount of weight applied regardless if zilla is running or jumping. Besides realistically the Brooklyn Bridge can withstand 500 tons when it's 14,680 tons in weight and can hold 18,700 short tons. That's MANY times heavier than zilla meanwhile zilla Jr would cause the bridge to collapse just by stepping on it since he's 60,000 tons which is even heavier than his father and the bridge combined

[@Kaiju-bm4ts]

Having the roar doesn't mean much, godzilla is suppose to leave destruction behind akin to a nuke or a natural disaster which this godzilla doesn't do. He's suppose to be immune to conventional weaponry and have powers. Zilla jr was EVERYTHING this godzilla wasn't in the animated series
