godzilla vs a nuke

It depends on where the nuke hits and where Godzilla is.

If Godzilla is hit dead on with the nuke, he's going to be vaporized like anything else caught in its wake. He'd need to be safely outside the blast zone, but inside the range of effect for radiation fallout to be absorbed into his body without killing him instantly unless he was already a corpse.

Something everyone needs to understand is that radiation doesn't just do what you want it to. Godzilla's mutation, his very existence, his atomic breath, all of it is actually pure fantasy made purely for movies. No creature on Earth would ever actually mutate into a Godzilla if it was hit with radioactive fallout. If anything, it'd just die.

But if they keep like how the Japanese makes it then it shouldn't kill him because nukes don't do anything to him but make him stronger.

The American Godzilla vs a Nuke, well let's consider the following aspects of a Nuke.

1: High force, particularly at the "ground zero"

2: Extreme Heat

3: Nuclear Radiation

Now several critters, such as certain insects and microbes, have shown to be resiliant or unharmed by Nuclear Radiation. The American Godzilla may even use it as fuel for its Atomic Breath.

A chemist called Maurice Ward (died in 2011) created a material called Starlite could withstand the temperature of even a Nuclear bomb. The test, for example, had it wrapped around an egg with a flamethrower blowing on it. After the several minute blast the Starlite was removed... and the egg was room temperature! It's possible for the American Godzilla to have a heat resiliance so high that even a Nuke's heat wouldn't be a threat. Deep sea critters that thrive at hydrothermal vents have to be able to withstand some 600 degrees (Fahrenheit) so it's possible.

Now the extreme pressure, considering the American Godzilla's armored hide, it's possible even this wouldn't hurt Godzilla. Now I don't know the full strength of the armor for that info hasn't been released yet. For realism, a tough yet light armor is realistic as opposed to the super speed regeneration.

Now a nuke could get kill Godzilla if it exploded in its stomach. Though how do you sneak a Nuke in there would be a 'Mission Impossible' task alone.

Godzilla is a fictional character, therefore all logic and science goes out the friggin' window. So no, a nuke cannot kill Godzilla whatsoever, if it could they'd have done it by now in at least one Godzilla film. Is this topic all the norm nowadays, this is like the 3rd discussion relating to it.

@InstinctiveGigan - I AGREE. Who gives a damn, Godzilla is just a made up creature. Just the fact that a mutated lizard standing 300 feet is unrealistic.

well, in the 1st part of the script, in 1954, a nuke is being prepared, it launches, then Godzilla rises from an island suddenly, he attacks the nuke head on then... he dies in a nukular explosion!

(honest, its from the real scritp guys)

Godzilla was created from a nuke. He also feeds on energy, the intial blast will hurt him, but when he absorbs all the energy around him it won't even matter.

and @AMARTIN35... WHAT? Godzilla was killed by a Oxygen Destroyer created by Dr.  Serizawa, not a nuke.

Well, I'm certainly not denying that a nuke could be effctive against Godzilla. The heat and radiation aren't the problem, but the concussive force is. I doubt any monster could survive it unscathed. Yep, Godzilla would probably "die" from such an attack. Just like how the original creature that existed before becoming Godzilla "died" from prehistoric radiation.

The same radiation which resurrected it into a walking fossil that replaced the key components of its underlying genetic structure with stronger elements that allowed sturdier and denser body structures like bones and skin to withstand impossibly large amounts of pressure and trauma and be able to stay accurate to the Square Cube Law without faltering under its own weight and produce exotic effects like the atomic breath.

Yep, Godzilla could definitely "die" by a nuke.

Godzilla eats nukes for breakfast.
