Godzilla had already proven to be very smart in Godzilla 2014, where he figured out the attacks from the Mutos and used his tail to his advantage, but after watching dodge kong's axe multiple times, hitting kong with the atomic breath and laughing and firing his breath on kong's axe towards the end of the battle with mechagodzilla. That itself proved that Godzilla is extremely strategic and smart

[@bp5462]

What he said

[@TheWererapter92]

I'd say the 6.5/10 rating is just harsh, too low.

[@SheraXGD]

Godzilla literally laughing like "Bro I'm smarter than you. That axe only make me unconcious. How was my atomic breath? Is it strong enough to burn your fur?"

[@babyrambo]

He’s shown high intelligence in Dominion

[@fantasykaijugeeks5452]

Yeah but his intelligence is limited as he seems to understand simply humans body language but is incapable of proper communication with sentient creatures, but this does depends on what version you have

[@elpopman2055]

Keep in mind Godzilla goes out his way to avoid causing Floods when he surfaces. The first time he surfaced caused so much damage.. however the next time he reaches the surface while swimming he slows down and he goes out of his way to avoid bumping into ships while he was Chasing the Muto. So it's clear that he doesn't want to cause unnecessary damage or harm the humans.. for him to attack humans he would have to be Already In Very agitated state and even then he would only attack if they insist On antagonizing him.

[@chefboiardeeznutz9881]

I never thought about that when he slowed down in that scene. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@25Erix]

I always joke during Godzilla 2014 that he's very polite when he dove under the aircraft carrier in Honolulu and very carefully surfaced in San Francisco Bay, both to prevent a tidal wave and to gently push the blockade of ships aside. He's not one for needless destruction. A majority of the damage he causes is collateral at best and unavoidable due to his size and fighting style but he doesn't go out of his way to waste energy if he doesn't need to. Now, he did cause a tsunami when he surfaced in Hawaii but he had the presence of mind to not repeat that a second time. And I dun care what others say, in KOTM when he locked eyes with Mark during both encounters, those two made a connection. And really, I think Mark was my favorite human character in any of the films. He has understandable reasons for hating Godzilla but he wasn't blinded by it and was willing to set it aside when Ghidorah proved to be the greater threat. The fact he didn't relish in Goji's near-death via the Oxygen Destroyer seemed two-fold. For one thing, it was completely ineffective against King Space Dragon and even Mark recognized that of the two, he's the greater evil. For another, he may have wanted Godzilla killed at the start of the movie but by the time the Destroyer was used, he seemed to have warmed up to Goji just a little without realizing it. Probably because he realized his anger was misplaced. Goji was the only one to walk away from the fight in 2014 so he was the only one Mark had to hate but in the end, collateral damage was what killed Andrew. Goji didn't actively cause it and it was just as likely that the Mutos were the ones who caused the kid's death somehow.

[@JackClockerinos]

People say that Godzilla doesn't care about humanity, but I like to point these details out to prove them wrong. Godzilla values all life, and that's why he's on our side

There are times when Godzilla ain’t even an anti-hero, but a straight up legit hero trying to protect the humans from harm.

[@GearshiftingStudios]

Cant speak for the other versions, but Legendary Godzilla has to be pretty intelligent, right? To recognize humans is one thing, but when he hit Kong and then laughed about it? That, to me, was the definitive mark of his intelligence.

[@Fusion-chrome]

[@Blackangel37567]

Agree and I can't help it when he luaghs and I laughed as well

[@ShinZprime]

i can speak for the other versions- 1954- dont knnow much he did seek revenge for the death of his family members but that isnt special as many reptiles have been shown to mourn the death of their family members. so pobably average intelligence. showa- almost human intelligence. is undenibly and super easily the smartest goji in existence he can use tools cooperates with other monsters lives in an island where just everyone is his friend acted like a dumbo for the first few movies but became *smort* by the end of ghidorah the three headed monster(1964) he adopted a son and ACTUAALLY cared for him and insed of leaving him behind he HUGGED HIM AND HIBERNTED ON THAT SPOT WITH HIS SON proofing he really is super intelligent in just all levels of intelligence. heisei- also very intelligent has psychic relationship with his son just like showa, cares a lot about his son can recognise humans and has great motor skills zilla- pretty smart for an animal. lowered his temperature to avoid being detected by thermal cameras. 1999-2000 - average intelligence 2001- is possessed by human souls so is probably as smart as a human and ABSOLUTELY LOVES to cause destruction and pain he knows everything he is doing 2002-2003 - average. relies on instinct like most animals 2004- average. but does unerstand emotions legendary- already told in the video so no need to say again shin- all adaptations he did were automatically done by his body kinda like instinctual but in the final act he exactly knew what he is doing and learnt from his previous act. but they did say he was almost as smart as a human in the movie so ok? i mean theyre not wrong the 'who will know' song is what he thinks the lyrics suggest that he has emotions like a human. so yeah he also joins the SMORT gang along with showa heisei and MV earth- idk man hes kinda like 2001. he LOVES causing pain especially to humans(likely because we really messe up our own earth) his eyes turn blue when happy so he is emotionally intelligent and also terraformed the earth the way he wants and even after 20,000 years of fun he had he still didnt forgot humans and was violent against them so good memory too. so i will say he is as smort has legendary. singular point- idk man probably he is like millenium in intelligence

I have to agree with many commenters here. I feel like the novelizations’ insight has been overlooked in terms of his emotional and problem solving intelligences. He pretty quickly understood the mechanic of Kong’s weapon and even charged it when they teamed up in the film, and I just feel like that’s a really important boon to both.

The MonsterVerse has given us a Godzilla that's exceptionally smart at strategizing, figuring out how to battle his opponents, recognizing certain titans and being indifferent towards humankind, all done through body language, subtle facial expressions, and actions without humanizing him way too much. It's very similar to how the Heisei Godzilla was depicted in terms of character.

Godzilla knows exactly how to use his hands. Due to being a creature with claws instead of nails making a fist would cause him to stab his own hands also would mean that he’s not using one of his strongest natural attacks. Creature with claws swat because they’re fingers are basically knifes. Creatures with nails make fist because nails act as bracers that let you use more force in a punch and since they aren’t long sharp object you won’t hurt yourself making a fist. Basically besides not being able to throw a punch, it’d be dumb to do even if he could since it would both hurt him and be far weaker than a claw slap

[@13175catalyst]

Well put! the way Godzilla dominates Kong is brutal in this movie. It is actuality. Godzilla just went rage mode and destroyed him, and let him live 3 times in this movie. Plot armor did not save kong from getting his ass handed to him by Godzillla. And that was after Godzilla bored through the crust of the planet down to the hollow Earth. Godzilla also would have smashed mecha G if Mecha G did not have his plot armor btw. We all saw it and the writer admits it now all the time. As we;; it was awesome to see Godzilla and Kong team up together against Mecha G. BTW..Watch metholakaijus vids.I may be off on the spelling) He does great videos. He makes them, animates them all. It shows the reality of what would happen with Godzilla and Mecha G in his latest vid. Anyhow, good times man! Godzilla rules he is the top. #1

Godzilla is so smart that he knew the Mutos were wrecking up cities and caused the death of his kind, he knew Ghidorah rose out of sleep again to destroy and put him to sleep,and he knew Kong was off Skull Island and entered his territorial routes to piss him off into The Battle of 2024.

[@Zebulon2024]

@puteqX But Mechagodzilla had his brain casing

[@CarnageTrooperx]

The Problem Solving portion irked me. He wasn’t systematically attacking APEX facilities because he knew they were building Mecha G. It was ONLY when Apex activated Ghidorahs psychic energy which attracted Godzilla. He destroyed the facility as anyone would to eliminate the threat. Sure, you could say he’s only addressing the problem in a direct way but it is the most effective. You should see if there is a problem that doesn’t require a fight instead of that one. Also, I don’t think Godzilla would be keen on using his dead ancestors remains as a weapon. Especially since what makes the weapon dangerous is something he already has. Why build weapon when you ARE the ultimate weapon, I feel like that’s how he would see it. He understands things but isn’t required to build because he is raw power itself. Intelligence should be more measured to how an organism excels in their ecosystem. Godzilla has lives a long time and remained King and is the last of kind. I would say 8/10 at the very least.

[@VileHearts]

Sorry for the necro but I agree. Destroying the parts of the threat and factories seems like a damn good strategy. Preventing the fight before it happens. Foresight is part of a high level of intelligence

[@ronjacob9242]

You can't call Godzilla a dumb. This dude had lived for 200+ million years, and with tons of experiences, he's literally more strategic than humans.

[@BradDown]

As for emotional intelligence, something that was not shown in the video was when Godzilla showed signs of grief and anger when Ghidorah killed Mothra during the events of king of the monsters.

[@Ryuujiish]

are you seriously going to ignore the part where he blasted kong's axe with atomic breathe to power it up in order to beat MKG? or when he finally changed tactics against kong into full blown all fours, tooth and nails after realizing that ranged weaponry are useless against kong since he can avoid it?

[@jamesvarela233]

The Monsterverse gave us a version of Godzilla that’s strategic and is exceptionally smart, figuring out how to battle his opponents, recognize certain Kaiju’s and intelligently giving respect to some, and being indifferent towards humankind. Which is unique towards him and Legendary has done a good job so far with him. He still needs work but he’s close to being near perfect with his character for now he’s good.

[@44calAsylumTV]

The fact that Godzilla knew that the only way that Kongs axe would be effective is to charge it up really showed me how smart he was.

[@Jose_Lopez08]

When it comes to keeping the world in order whether from other monster's, alien invasion's or humanity's ignorance imo he has the certain instinctual intelligence needed to be alert.

[@MrRedFoxorMrelzorrorojo]

I disagree. 70's era Gojira was pretty expressive.

You kinda underestimated godzilla over here, this man somehow knows philosophy and ecology without ever learning about them in a conventional way while also recognizeing that humans attack him out of fear and thus not attacking him. You also messed up info, for instance in saying godzilla doesn't know how to use tools or how mecha godzilla over powered him. Kong doesn't seem to be smarter, he is simply better adapted to use his Intelligence than godzilla whose body is desined for anything BUT stuff like tool use.

[@Tracks2008]

@@KrystianZieba-kc8tx Exactly Godzilla is not designed for tool use but he more than likely he could use tools if his hands would allow for that.

[@Gojira_Wins]

The fact that the teamwork between Godzilla using his atomic breath to charge the axe so Kong could actually slice through MechaGodzilla tells me that this is significantly lower than his actual intelligence. We need to use ALL of the times where he used his intelligence, not just a few impulsive, cherry picked moments. Godzilla saw the fight between Kong and the Mech and realized that without his atomic energy, Kong wouldn't be able to cut through the Mechs armor. That makes him a LOT smarter than this gives him credit for.

[@Arnell_Mediocrity_Long]

Yeah this is a tricky question because every iteration of Godzilla had different levels of intellect. So you'll have to venture through all of G-man's time lines. Edit: But if we're specifically talking about current Monster-verse Godzilla, then I'd say he's pretty intelligent...but to be honest, most iterations of Godzilla were intelligent...but he's more Wise and Experienced than anything.

Well, considering how long he’s lived and how many threats he’s likely confronted throughout his life, Godzilla would obviously be a creature who’s more than able to figure out ways to turn the tables on his enemies. And since he lives in a time where humans have established various settlements, he clearly knows how to recognize those who benefit the planet’s safety, while simultaneously punishing humans who selfishly exploit or try to change the world to suit their ambitions, something which Godzilla will not allow to happen. While Muto Prime, Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla may be the most threatening monsters that Godzilla has had to contend with, he will always know of humans who pose a greater threat to the natural order than any monster.

Why would Godzilla need to learn how to use tools when his atomic breath is more effective than any rock or ax.

#DangerVille I would have given Godzilla a Point Higher in critical thinking. Reason: In Godzilla VS Kong when Godzilla realized that Kong was helping him defeat MechaG, Godzilla used his Atomic Breath to power up Kong's axe giving a possible enemy and rival another chance at killing him but choosing to assist the natural title over the machine one. I would give him a .5 for that. At the End Godzilla made a head motion looking at his axe. Telling Kong. Drop it, or we go into sudden death round. That is worth another .5 for a Total of a full point.

I agree with everything except it wouldn’t have been a sudden death match. Godzilla dominated Kong the entire movie. If Alex Scarsgard didn’t say “I guess round 2 goes to Kong” the audience would not have seen that as round two. They both were knocked back by the impact and Big G got up moments later and clearly continued to whoop Kongs ass. So while I count that entire fight as one fight or round, one can say once Godzilla got up and beat Kong, that was round three, so he’d be up 2rds to 1.

[@newkiller4457]

I feel like dangervile to an extent is downplaying Godzillas intelligence a little bit and didn't even use the comics or anything like that which is btw Canon to the monsterverse. If I remember correctly he completely understand how tools work. For one example, Godzilla knew how the mechanics of how Kongs axe worked, so he purposely aimed at it so that Kong can get the killing blow on Mechagodzilla. Also, in Godzilla dominion, Godzilla completely understood how humans weaponry worked. He even attempted to stop Scylla who just wanted pure radiation from the humans off of nukes they made, but Godzilla who's exhausted and weakened after the fight with Ghidorah stopped Scylla from doing that. Godzilla is even smart enough to not be desperate for radiation and shows really good leadership skills we haven't really gotten to see in a long time. He can control the Titans and simply tells them to go to sleep as waking up will cause problems with earth and danger even humans to an extent. Godzilla dominion shows Godzilla as the narrator himself and he himself states that he knows who serizawa is and considers humans just as important as some of the Earth's environment bc of the fact that serizawa saved him. Even Godzillas emotional intelligence is being neglected. When mothra died right in front of Godzilla, Godzilla cried and also mourned in pain which show's some sense of empathy which actually arguably makes Godzilla a lot more emotionally smarter than what this video has said.

So in summary, Godzilla may be much more intelligent, he just chooses to use his power because it's almost always enough. He's probably arrogant, though, thinking he can do anything :)

[@ArsonicFoxx]

I know he's not the most intelligent but I think he is smarter than all the others titans

[@Noah_Woodhall]

Definitely do monsterverse Ghidorah next. I also think the problem solving rating was a bit unfair. I mean apex did lure him to Pensacola. He was sensing Ghidorah presence again and he knows Ghidorah needs to be destroyed.

[@Zaydd33]

Could you do a vid on forgotten kaiju? Varan, Sanda, Gaira and more

[@WelshSymbioteSpartan]

He's battle smart, through years of practice. That's all he's ever really know, anything else he's just learned on the go.

[@killerg1853]

even if Kong is the smartest kaiju in the monsterverse at least Godzilla's the second smartest kaiju

[@rickyrackey7930]

Yeah, this is big brain time.

[@mosesgurule5145]

The reason he can't solve his problem in another way is because he can't solve his problems in another way. He's a giant fire breathing dinosaur! What's he gonna do? Convince another monster to leave the planet? No, he can't shut down mechagodzilla because he isn't small enough to do anything of the sort.

[@darrenboodhai5829]

The thing is he does not use tools but he uses parts of him self as tools so I would rate him a 7/10

[@RaptorofRex07]

Oh clever like how a Kung fu fighter uses their body as a weapon.

[@maximillian1109]

So does a praying mantis. And sure, they are one of the smartest insects, but still.

[@KrystianZieba-kc8tx]

You missed a lot of info. The novelizations and graphic novels give us more insight into godzillas mind and just how smart he actually is. You kinda underestimated godzilla over here, this man somehow knows philosophy and ecology without ever learning about them in a conventional way while also recognizeing that humans attack him out of fear and thus not attacking him. You also messed up info, for instance in saying godzilla doesn't know how to use tools or how mecha godzilla over powered him.

[@DangerVille]

Godzilla doesn’t know how to use tools though

[@KrystianZieba-kc8tx]

@@DangerVille and yet knows ecology and philosophy while also showing higher levels of reasoning, by all account we can't even class godzilla as an animal since he fits the parameters of something classed as a person(not in a human species sense, in a sentientce sense). I allready pointed this out in a diffrent comment but godzillas hands are webbed, with small fingers and basic thumps and short lenght, those hands on fist glance would seem to suggest that godzilla could make tools if smart enough but that would be false. He simply lacks dexterity to make stuff like actual tools and the structure to deliver proper punches so he fights more animal-like.

[@KrystianZieba-kc8tx]

@@DangerVille think of it like this. You are in a room tied up and there is a locked door, you want to leave and know how to do so but you can't since your arms, and mouth are restricted and don't allow you the necessary things to achive your goal. Its the same with godzilla, he most likeley knows full well how to use and make tools but is simply restricted from it by his phisical limitations while for instance kong is not since his arms are long, strong with long well developed, fully functional and dexterous fingers on his hands.

A bar graph of the categories would be cool. Like Godzilla's smart stats.

[@justinwhaley1288]

Godzilla is pretty smart

[@axons8837]

For the mecha godzilla fight, he wasnt thinking fully, due to the fact he was super mad of ghidorah chilling in a robot suit looking like him, and we all know when we get mad, we just throw punches everywhere with no strategy

[@legendarywolverine5529]

Interesting. Don't necessarily agree withe ratings, but was Interesting to watch.

[@lucifermorningstar3395]

Semi-omniscience After Mothra's sacrifice to empower him in 2019, Godzilla has permanently gained a heightened awareness of the tectonic and atmospheric interactions of the planet as well as the Earth's early geothermal history.

[@Trazyn_the_infinite-s1o]

This is a very interesting video! Hope to see more content like this! maybe the next video could be like analysing Ghidorah's intelligence levels? or maybe even Destoroyah's Intelligence levels, since we haven't heard of him in a long time now. I reallyenjoyed this and have a great end of year!

[@MysticalMelvin]

Could you analyze the smarts of the other incarnations of Godzilla?

[@MichaelTabb1954]

Can you do a video of how smart is Final Wars Godzilla.

Do how Strong is Kong next

[@aircraftandmore9775]

wait a second if he knew to threw kongs axe away, that means he ACTUALLY CAN USE THE AXE, BUT HE CHOSE NOT TO USE IT AGAINST KONG. oh god i cant imagine what would of happend if he decided to use the axe against him.

[@grantlangkamp1909]

That would've been funny to see but he can't grab things properly

[@aircraftandmore9775]

This is what I loved most about MonsterVerse Godzilla.

[@lynx-fernandogonzalez1571]

What about how he calculated the way to defeat the male Muto?

[@mydaddysacct7517]

I definitely agree that intelligence varies from one Godzilla to the next for instance I've seen one Godzilla expertly wield a katana while having elaborate conversations with other Kaiju about their problems as well as tactically fighting and I would argue that he's not even the smartest despite all of this. but I never think of Godzilla as math smart just experience smart as well as battle smart as that the only Godzilla's I think could be math smart I probably characters like shin Ultima or Earth but they're so big and powerful that they don't need that and it's usually because of their powers that they're even able to achieve said intelligence only if it's ever needed.

[@jirvin1403]

Would love to see Mothras grading

[@Dharakinfinitum]

In the g14 novel, godzilla punches the female muto several times. So he is able to use his fists without any problem and he has done it in the past. You omitted many details and very important information seen in both comics and novels regarding the intelligence of godzilla.

[@grantlangkamp1909]

Yes he left out a lot of information. Not sure if that was deliberate or ignorance

[@Blackangel37567]

You forgot to mention when he charged Kongs axe and the fact that he was fine having kong help him then when he wanted Kong to drop the axe at the end of the movie to make peace

[@zevron3916]

So to sum it all up, Godzilla assesses his situation based off of where he is and implements a solution ideal to what he can do and pull off successfully.

[@gamingmoran9597]

that Godzilla smile Be lookin Scary Af

[@mrstormentertainment]

Did you forget about Godzilla charging Kong's Axe to aid Kong kill Mecha Godzilla! He evaluated the situation and knew it would work. That was problem solving and tool usage.

[@nitrodrifty8950]

The memory one is of godzilla vs ghidorah it was about revenge over gojis mother’s death by him

[@kaijuar2003]

Showa Godzilla was probably the most intelligent out of all the incarnations of Godzilla. I mean he was able to perfectly cooperate with humans and befriend other Kaiju. He even used human technology to his advantage like seen in Hedorah.

[@rakknoss]

Whatever happened to the nuke that detonated in the first Godzilla vers movie? Nobody talks about it. Like did it change anything in the area or something?

[@zicc616]

Godzilla 2000 was pretty smart too, when he knew he wasn’t gonna kill Orga with just atomic breath head on because of his regeneration , he just looked and stared at Orga then decided to let himself get eaten and this he blew Orga from the inside.
