Exactly. I remember a lot of people bitching about how it didn't look like the old Godzilla and me thinking "well no shite, I'd hope not since the old Gojira was a man in a shitty, ugly rubber monster suit." I mean shite, it was 1998 and CGI/SFX were taking off that decade, so how can you bitch about a giant lizard monster that looked fine/real enough??
That wasn't Godzilla. Godzilla was a dinosaur born from nuclear tests over an island in the south Pacific Ocean. Godzilla was a giant, indestructible monster with a hankering for nuclear material to feed off.
Godzilla was the king of all monsters. Japan's unwanted but needed savior. Godzilla never just showed up to frick shite up. He came because he sensed the presence of other monsters. Godzilla was a protagonist and hero, not some suped up iguana that ran around NYC like a bitch.
That 1998 abortion was no Godzilla film. A Godzilla film has the real Godzilla, a pro and antagonist, and most importantly of all, radiation breath.

He did so in the very first film. That's all he was and all the 98 version was giving a nod towards.
He only became a hero later, let's not paint him as such when the purpose of the 1998 film was to remake Godzilla 1954 in the US (which, yes, lost all of the nuclear context). It took at least 5 films for Godzilla to be a "hero."

Debatable, depending on your context. It wasn't a sequel, or prequel, it wasn't even a remake.

Eh, it takes more than one film to do this anyway.

True.

ETA: to be fair, had they named it anything else people would be calling it a Godzilla ripoff

i liked the 1998 special effects, the story line sucked.
