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.
Yes.

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.
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."
quote:
That 1998 abortion was no Godzilla film.
Debatable, depending on your context. It wasn't a sequel, or prequel, it wasn't even a remake.
quote:
A Godzilla film has the real Godzilla, a pro and antagonist,
Eh, it takes more than one film to do this anyway.
quote:
most importantly of all, radiation breath.
True.

For whatever reasoning, Toho decided to turn Godzilla into basically a "Saturday morning kiddie cartoon" and brought in all the WWF like adversaries. With each new successive sequel, the Godzilla costume became more cartoon like too, until it was just too over the top silly.

BTW, he's supposed to be a nuclear irradiated Marine Iguana. I always wondered what happened to all those other MI's. Seems there should have been thousands of Godzilla's created from the radiation. Why only one?
I liked the 98 film, except for the ending and the fact that they made Godzilla a little too nice. Gotta have that radiation breath going on there fellas. Doesn't surprise me though, since it was done by the same idiots that totally
ruined "Independence Day" with a ludicrous finale.
