When did I ever say that?
I mentioned about the lack of consistency in Godzilla's behavior. Either Godzilla is bipolar, or there's some sort of grounds for why he acts "evil" sometimes, but chooses to act "good" at other times.
And actually, a portion of Godzilla 101 is right here (copied from Wiki, where I got my information from
), where Shogo Tomiyama provided a nihilistic account on Godzilla's behavior. I think it practically negates the idea that Godzilla is driven by animalistic behaviors of territorial dominance. Although, I think you're also right with your assumption
. Godzilla probably changes accordingly to suit the needs for whatever directors are handling him.
Godzilla's allegiance and motivations have changed from film to film to suit the needs of the story. Although Godzilla does not like humans,[40] it will fight alongside humanity against common threats. However, it makes no special effort to protect human life or property[41] and will turn against its human allies on a whim. It is not motivated to attack by predatory instinct: it doesn't eat people,[25] and instead sustains itself on radiation[42] and an omnivorous diet.[38][43] When inquired if Godzilla was "good or bad", producer Shogo Tomiyama likened it to a Shinto "God of Destruction" which lacks moral agency and cannot be held to human standards of good and evil. "He totally destroys everything and then there is a rebirth. Something new and fresh can begin."[25]
I like this, it wouldn't surprise me if this is how godzilla is explained in this film. Making him out to be an actual god as opposed to a mutated monster, sounds cool to me.
Well, Godzilla still has to be a mutated monster for the film to have its Japanese DNA
. Godzilla was created from the aftermath of nuclear weapons testing, and the monster itself serves as an allegory for man's punishment for unleashing nukes into the world. Humans created nukes, nukes destroyed the environment and created Godzilla, and in turn, Godzilla destroys man.
So, Godzilla doesn't really have to be divine, and there's absolutely no need to introduce some sort of weird "monster religion" into the movie. Godzilla could just be a physical representation (or an analogy) for what a Japanese God of destruction would be like.
Hey, don't mock your fella for playing Captain Obvious!
Actually that's his strongest advantage over other giant monsters.
We don't know why it does what it does and some 'll attempt to explain it scientifically, some - mysticaly.
This is just a way to signify our ignorance and primitiveness.
Only in kids movies.
Excesses of industry.
Ugh, no kidding about the excess man, there's been way too many movies
